Much Maligned Sea.

The saddest part of an art gallery is
not the fiippancy of the pictures. it is
the seriousness of the people. If the
sea looks solid, flinging itself on the
cliffs. and the rocks are made of fog,
the thing TO do is not to believe il. If a
bit of solid sea hanging on the walls
Of a Boston gallery made any differ
ence TO the sea, there would he some
reason for standing and signing and
hectOring and lecturing and gathering
q group of people all about to defend
an ocean and the immemorial freedom
of the waves. If three square feet of
actual sea at Marblehead could be in
jured by three square feet of impossi-
Bile sea at the Boston Art club, II
might be worth while to take il seri-
ously. There is always the sea left.

Thermometer for Wheelmen.

From the New York Times: You
NAV carry your OWN thermometer now
and it will only cost you % cents to
buy the portable kind. They are
round. about as large as a quarter, and
have a stick pin at the back, with
which to fasten them. The little glass
tube containing the mercury is coiled
like a serpent with the ball in the
center. This is great scheme for
the feminine cyclist. With little
scientific calculation she will be able
TO determine at what degree OF heat
her face gets an unbecoming red. and
then she has only to watch her Their
mometer to see when that degree has
been reached. when she can dis
mount and cool off.

Recent studies of the animal life of
Lake Tanganyika has shown that that
lake differs from all other African
lakes in possessing inhabitants that
belong TO oceanic species. Still, these

organisms of the present day, and the

good deal OF ground on basis Of very
slim rations. Jim's acquaintance with
field hospitals had not been wholly de-
lightful, imagine. and he reported for
duty when he had hardly any symp-
toms of recovery but an appetite. Rusty
ham and bareback didn't seem to do
Jim much good. He ate them, but they
left him looking thinner and hungrier
than ever Two of the boys had cap
tured a chicken somewhere. and had
stolen away by themselves for a quiet
feast. Wandering lOnesomely around,
Jim discovered them. He stood and
booked at the chicken, spitred on a ram
rod and roasting over a fence rail fire.
The boys were hungry. too, and they
didn't say word. Did you ever see
two dogs quarreling over bone, Dan? p
Jim asked at length. Yes, Well,
pretty SOON you may see bone quar-
reling over two dogs he added. And
