TO Make Freuc,, Women Taller

Word comes from Paris thar the
fair ParsienncS are consumed by Il
desire to rival their Anglo-SaXon sis
tiers in stature, and Paris doctor
has come to the rescue with science.
He has elaborated an ingenious pro-
cess by which the joints of the ankles
and knees are to be daily operated
on with an electric bulb. He says that
the osSeous matter at the sections of
the joints will thereby be expanded
and the growth Of the bones stimu-
lated. The bulb is also TO be applied
to the spine.
The doctor says he can prove by
successes obtained on patients who
have already been heightened that
he can add two-fiftlis OF an inch 4
month during six months operating.
After six months the continual treat
ment is stopped temporarily and is
resumed later il necessary. The
patients should be young and supple,
otherwise the effect. OF stretching
their joints might be grave.
Whatever truth there is 10 the doc
tors assertions it is certain that he
will be besieged.-LoDdon Correspond

She had returned with an MD. from
university after her name. and had
been elected to the chair OF English lit
crature in small local college. On the
day before the session opened the preSi-
dent was explaining to her the duties
OF her place. In addition to your work
in English literature he said with
apologize hesitation. Il should like you
to take the junior and senior classes i'll

physical culture"
rs there no teacher OF clocution?"
asked Miss Jones.

And who has charge Of the physical
training?'
To tell the truth, we have no teacher
as yet. You perhaps noticed III the
catalogue that those two departments
were to be supplied.

But he was treasured by her winning

brightly; but why didn't you write me

trian to ask the difference.

other for internal use" was the reply.

This is for external. External means

A Remarkable Laic.

Lake Titicaca. in Peru, is the tradi.
tional cradle of the Inca civilization.
Of all lakes in the world, this lake, the
largest in South America, is in many
respects the most remarkable. It's alti-
tude, according to the railway survey,
is 12,516 feet above sea level In the
rainy season it rises about five feet
higher. It's area is over 5000 Gquare
miles, half the size of Lake Ontario,
fourteen times the size of Lake Gene
va. It is over 100 miles in length and
averages thirty miles in width. Twenty
streams empty into it. The Rio Des-
aguaderO very slowly flows out Of it
to Lake Toopo, fifty leagues away to
the southeast, from which lake there
is no surface exit. The level Of the sur
face Of both lakes has sunk within
the historical period. Three hundred
years ago the margin of Titicaca was
near the ruins of Tiahuanaco, which
now lie over sixty miles from the wa
ter's edge. At an earlier date, when the
temple was built, it stood upon ans is
land At an even earlier, but still re-
cent geological epoch the &outhera
limit of the great inland sea was in
about latitude II degrees south.

DAMAGE BY TERMiTES.
Injury Done to Houses IN Hawaii by the
Insects.


Look out for termites! The men
who have been working Oh the altera-
tons in the judiciary building have
found some of the woodwork almost
eaten away by them, and there are
whole residences in the city that will
have to be actually torn down, on
account of the injuries done by the
insects. Termites, according to the
Standard Dictionary, are "a family
of neutrality-suspicious. insects with a
depressed ovate body, free head, equal
membranaceOus deciduous wings and
ur-jointed tarsi, including white
ants"
An insect with a definition like that
ought to be able to do good deal of
damage, and the termites are doing
it. Houses in Honolulu that are
twenty-five or thirty years old are
found to be in need Of new woodwork
in many places, and ut least one large
residence is about to be torn down
because the pestiferous insects have
ruined it by boring and following
out the wood.
Professor Kocble and Mr.. Perkins,
of the local bugology bureau, have
studied the termites, and say that
there is no known preventive of their
work. The bugs here are of two
kinds, both imported and both thirty
ing better in the climate OF Hawaii
than they did in California, which
was the original home Of the varie-
ties here. When any woodwork is
once we'll infested with the termites
there is nothing to do but destroy it,
say the experts.
The insects do their destructive
work unseen. They never work TO
the surface of the wood, but hollow
it out until 1t is only shell thin as
paper. They tackle furniture and
all wooden parts of buildings.
Cases have been known in which
the termites, in countries where they
prosper even more than in Hawaii,
have literally eaten away buildings.
In q single night they have been
known TO reduce pieces of furniture
to collapse. They are not so bad
here said Mr.. Perkins. why. in
some places there have been cases
where chair left over night collapsed
in heap when u3ed in the morning,
all the inside OF the wood having
GCen bored out"
The work of the little insects may
be seen in some Of the baniSters Of
the Judiciary Building and. other old
structures. Dry, hard wood, such as
that used for furniture, seems TO be
specially attractive to the termites.
The insects arc quite numerous i'll
California, but are not so destructive,
the climate being less agreeable to
them there Star.
