Things to FORGET.


Forgetting has its pleasures, because
it permits the closing of the mind $
eyes to harsh experiences and depres,
sing incidents. If women are most
affected with them they are most dis
astrous to men. They come at differ
ent times and in different ways to
every one. They are the lowlands Of
life, full of miasma, through which
all travellers must pass; some oftener
than others. The blues feed upon the
blues. Miasma breeds miasma. The
way to get rid of the dumps
Is when one is in the low
est spirits to call up before the men.
tai vision memories of the brightest
bour On the contrary, defeat is en-
phasized and despair made perennial
by the remembrance Of other defeats
and past despairing moments.
1t is not crime to fail, but 1t is a
crime against ones better nature to
brood upon failures The fellow who
forgets failures may succeed He GER
tainly will not If he goes into every
new battle cowed and covering at the
recollection of past defeats. Dwellers
in @swamp grow to have the lifeless
look of the lowlands. Remembrance
of the blues makes one blue. No man
is ever born a pessimist. He becomes
one by forgetting the wrong things

To Test Road Material.

The Secretary Of Agriculture has es.
tablished In the Division of Chemistry
a laboratory for testing physically and
chemically all varieties Of road ma
terials. These substances include
rocks of all kinds, gravel, shells, brick,
clays and other bodies used in road
building in country districts, but do
not include materials for municipal

Any person desiring to have road
materials tested in this laboratory is
advised to write to the Office Of Public
Road Inquiries, Department Of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. G., for in
structions in regard to the methods
Of selecting and shipping samples.
Specimens viii be tested in the order
in which they dre received, excepting

Professor Johnstone Stoney, In de-
veloping his theory of the escape of
gases from planetary atmospheres de-
pending upon the force Of gravity of
the particular planets concerned, has
concluded that hellum at present is
slowly escaping from the earth, and
ln a distant past time it probably es-
capped much more rapidly. From Mars,
he says, water vapor must have es-
capped with about the same readiness
as helium fed from the earth, and
accordingly the variable white patches
about the poles of Mars are not snow,
but probably frozen carbon dloxide
other appearances frequently observed
on Mars are due, he thinks, to low-ly.
