Philadelphia has undertaken to provide for
the physical requirements of its high school
girls by having a physician in attendance
each day to give proper medical supervision.
DR.. Katharine Kollock has been giving her
attention to high school girls and their ills
for six years, most of the time without COM
pensation, and now it is deemed unw1se to
dispense with such service.
The idea Of having physician at the school
every day originated with DR.. Thomas G.
Morton, chairman of the board of education's
committee the high school for girls. The
plan was a novel enc, and it was not received
with such enthusiasm would back up the
proposition with financial support. If ply
stefan would give her services free of charge
the committee was ready to accept them, but
it was not ready to talk about salary. DR..
Kollock undertook the work, however, and
has continued to carry 1t on ever since. Dur
ing the last two years she has received a
salary of $3.50 per annum, an amount said to
be T1diculously incommensurate with the
work she performs,

Mrs. Samuel P. Swartwood, of Mountain

Five of the children are dead. But Mrs.
Swartwood's dinner horn can still summon to

The old custom of feasting at funerals still
prevails In some parts Of Pennsylvania The
services and interment are over at noon and
then all who choose to come can partake of
the funeral baked meats. In some communi-
ties to omit the feast is considered a breach
of hospitality to those who show their SYM
pathy by their attendance, and would also
be to dishonor the dead. People of even mod
crate means have been known to spend hun
dreds Of dollars for such dinner, in addition
to the great quantities of pies and cakes
contributed by the neighbors in return. or In
anticipation of like favor. Often as many
as four or five hundred people attend these
dinners.
M. Burton, of Indianapolis, has a clock
which is wound by the solar system. In this
invention the axiom of heat expanding and
cold contracting Is the basis. The clock is
wound by changes in the temperature. the
principal force being in the day and night
differences. Mr.. Burton found that there is
an average difference Of twenty degrees in
the temperature of the night and the day.
The day, of course, is the warmer. The heat
Oh the day expands the atmosphere and the
lower temperature Of the night contracts It.

"The Moral lmbeci1es,"

Just why Mrs. S. P. Mclean Greene,
IN the title to her last novel, differen-
tiates so carefully between her charac-
tiers and plain idiots Of the common or
garden variety is not at all plain to
the present reviewer. Not moral i'm.
beetles a whit more than mental i'm,
beetles seem the unbalanced tribe in
this queer story. Just ail-around "iTn-
beetles" are they, and it's sheer waste
of time to modify this simple and tell
lrg title unless one adds, out of SYM
rathy with the reading public, the
warming adjective stupid" We have
seen Mrs. Greene described as a, wom-
an of genius, and we are aware that
some people consider her a humorist Of
a rare order, and we are willing to &c
With these critics certain distance
on the last statement at least. We are
not very familiar with women of ge-
MUS, so 1T may be that Mrs. Greene
belongs to this4rare species. If so, we
no longer regret it's scarceness. HUI
NOR is more plentiful, and If the cpl
grammatical definition, inverted
sense" is allowed, then this novel, born
to popularity, fulfills this essential re-
qufrement Inverted is every bit Of
sense in her stories. The more one
reads Of Mrs. Greene's books the more
one is astonished at their popularity
What chord of the great heart of the
masses" does she strike? Is it that
everything she writes now is read in
the light of "Old Cape Cod Folks, -
that literary caricature that made peo-
pie laugh by it's very grotesqueness !?
1t seems to us rather that Mrs. Greene's
stories appeal as allegory appeals, top
sy-turvy allegory, ungoverned and un-
goVernable by law or order. Her peor
pie are not men and women, but per-
sonfffcations Of distractions, and so
against them the childlike public can
turn Its hate of hate and love of
love" unhindered by any hampering
personality Of hero or heroine.

Additional experiments by Prof Dewar. have
shown that liquid hydrogen is by far the light

fourteenth that of water, and, curIously
enough, this happens to be the same ratio as
density that hydrogen in the gaseous state
