II, the Lost PIeiHd FouudY

One of the most beautiful legends re-
lating to the stars Is that of ''the lost
Pleiad." 1t would appear that in an
cient times ordinary eyes saw distinct
ly seven stars In the group of the PIE
ladies', although now only six are thus
visible. The lost Pleiad has been sub
ject not only for poets, but for astrono-
mers, who have frequently discussed
the question whether such n star ever
really existed. Recently the question
has been revived, and the English as
tronomer, Mr.. w. Il. Lynn. after de-
clarlng that there can scarcely be q
doubt that In former times seven stars
were clearly visible in the Plelades,
quotes approvingly the suggestion Of
Professor Pickering that the faint star
known as Pleione Is the lost Plelad.
This opinion Is based on the peculiar
appearance Of the spectrum of Plelone,
which indicates that it may be an ir-
regularly variable star.

Manager Cooke, of the proposed
Saengerfcst show Mt Cincinnati, has
made n remarkable discovery. He
says that neither Rubin nor Jeffries
ever fought prize fight. This will
nstonlsh many people who have been
inclined to look upon the men ns pro-
fessionnl pugilsts, Here Is what Cooke
says:
"IIim Ieffries and Gus Rubin have
never fought prize fight in their lives
Each man has always boxed according
to law and before licensed clubs under
proper police regulations. In prize
fights men get together ana fight un-
I'll one is knocked out. ,Ieffrlos and
Rubin SPARED for 20 rounds In san
Francisco to draw, and neither man
got scratch Possibly there might
he n draw here and still the public
would witness good exhibition. Jim
Jelirles has spared for church bene-
fits, and gave six or eight shows for
the sufferers of the Galveston flood.
II is really unfortunate that the clergy
of the notorlety-seellng sort cannot at
tend to their own affairs.

The general impression one derives
from the accounts given Is certainly
that savage tribes are not victims of a
sullen despair, but, on the contrary,
have large and abundant mirth.
Their laughter and other signs of good
spirits are of the most energetic kind.
Darwin and number of travellers as
sure us on this point The Tasma-
mans, Ling Roth tells us, accompanied
their loud bursts of laughter with
movements of the bands to the head
and quick tapping movements OF the
feet. The loud. deep chested character
Of the mems laughter Is sometimes
specially noted. A recent visitor to
central Africa regrets that under Eu-

Antlaast, of the water pump.

The water pump of today is but an
Improvement on a Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos and
Energetes, 2S3 to POI Il. G. The name,
which Is very similar in all languages,
Is derived from the Greek word pempo,
to send or throw. The most ancient de-
serlption we have of water pump Is
by Hero of Alexandria. There Is no
authentic account of the general use of
the pump In Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
At about TINT time the endless chain
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began to be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps, like the Pappenham engine,
with two pistons, and the Prince Ru-
pert with one, were first used. Pumps
with plunger pistons were invented by
Morland, an Englishman, In 1914, and
the double acting pump by De la Hire,
the French academiclan.

Just Try Turning Up the Corners of

A well known doctor of Minneapolis
who has made specially of nervous

choly patients and now declares him.
self thoroughly satisfied with the good
results of his treatment. His prescrip-
ton reads something like this: IF you
keep the corners of your mouth turned
up, you can't feel blue" The dlrec-
tions for taking are, "Smile, keep on
smiling don't stop smiling" 1t sounds
ridiculous, doesn't 1t? Well, just try
turning up the corners of your mouth,
regardless of your mood. and see how
1t makes you feel. Then draw the cor
ners of your mouth down and note the
effect, and you will be willing to de-
clare there's something In it."
The doctor treats his nervous pa

but when the case Is one of pure mel

recommends the smile cure. He has
the patient remain in his Office and

must at least be an upward curvature
of the corners of the mouth. and the
better feelings follow inevitably. The
treatments are followed up regularly,
and the patients all testify to their
good effect 1t takes considerable per-
suasion to induce some of them to ap-
ply the cure, and of course the greater
number of patients are women, for
when man is blue he is bound to be
blue in spite of everything, but wom-
