Lost Arts.

"We hear good deal these days
about the lost arts" said the man who,
though old In years, is still young at
heart II wonder If the world realizes
that some of the most precious arts of
childhood are in danger of becoming
extinct? How many boys today can
make kite, properly hung and with a
tail sufficient to balance it? How many
boys can make a bow with the ends
nicely bent and worked down with a
bit of broken glass?
81 interviewed my young nephew the
other day and was thunderstruck to
discover that he knew nothing about
1t. Could he make a water wheel, a
windmill, an elder popgun. jack Ian
tern, a buzz wheel. an airgun from a
goose quill with a sliced potato for am
munition, a willow whistle, squirt
gun? No; he knew nothing about them.
"'But surely said |, almost pathet-
ically, you can make cornstalk fd-
die?
"'Do you mean a violin, unk? said
he, yawning.
"Then l gave 1t up. | don't believe
the youths of today know enough to
stick q feather in a corncob and throw

book some day upon the arts Of child
hood to save them from utter annihila-
tion!'-Detroit Free Press.

The Bible Leads.

Pessimists may profess to believe
that the world is growing worse, but
there Is one argument against their
contention which not one of them can
answer, and that is that the Bible still
outsells every other book that is
printed, no matter how popular it may
be.
One OF the leading booksellers of
New York, is quoted in the Sun, as
saying that while not much is heard of
the Bible as Christmas gift its sales at
the holiday season reach tremendous
proportions. "Yon may talk about
your multitudinous editions of popular
novels" he said, s'but the Bible
leads them year in and year out. 1t is
probably issued in more editions and
got up in more styles and shapes than
any other book in the world"
There can be no doubt that q large
proportion of those who buy the Bible
believe in its teachings, and while all
may not live up to them in eveery re-
spect there is no reason for thinking
that people who take that book for
their guide can go downward in the
moral scale.-Cleveland Leader.

Birds In Storms.

During tremendous windstorms birds
may sometimes be seen flying overhead
at q great altitude. When this phe-
nomenon Is observed, 1t may be taken
for granted that the upper atmosphere
is comparatively quiet and that the
disturbance Is confined chiefly to the
lower regions.
When a heavy wind or gale springs
up, the gulls, terms and petrels will fly
to and fro over the waters surface, ris-
ing and falling and uttering their pc
culiar cries Of warning. If the storm
extends too high up, they will drift
gradually with the wind or fly away on
the edge Of the hurricane.
A young herring gull, petrol or a
tern thus surprised will beat up against
the wind with powerful fight. 1t will
rise high I'm the air, facing the'gale and
making a little progress forward as
well as upward. Then it will sudden
ly descend with rapid flight toward one
side of the stormswept path, but fall
Ing OF at the same time in the direc-
ton of the blowing wind. Once more
1t will sweep around and face the
storm, ascending heavenward and
striking desperately out toward the
direction Of the storm. BY pursuing
these tactics the bird will gradually
work itself to one side of the storm
center.

'The civilization of today has not
been ground to that razor edged keen
ness when the painless putting to their
final sleep Of incurables would be justi-
ned," said a well known Washington
alienist. The progeny Of a single
couple Of degenerates and paupero have
been traced to their various ramifica-
tions through several generations, and
out Of over 1000 descendants 95 per
cent have become paupers, thieves, con-
victs, murderers, persons of i'll repute
and charges upon the public in one
form or another, male and female alike
students of this interesting social
question have made other compilations
Of degenerate families with equally au-
thentic and startling results. The pow
er Of the state to legislate for the pro-
lection of the majority against the acts
Of the minority Is undisputed and is
exemplified in many ways. notably in
arresting lawbreakers and combining
them In prisons, the control and re-
straint Of lunatics and the seizing and
isolation Of smallpox patients.
"In the advanced civilization of fu
ture centuries this power will have
been greatly extended and will no
doubt place an iron bound restriction
upon the marriage of persons in unde-
sirable mental and physical condition
with the object of the benefit of man
kind in general Washington Star.

Value for Value.

There appears to be prevailing
opinion that newspaper men are usu-
ally able to get more for nothing than
others can obtain for cold hard cash.
The publisher sometimes does busi-
ness on strictly cash system; not al
ways; he is the creature of his envi-
ronments. But he never gets any,
thing that does not cost him its full
value. He pays for all he gets, in one
way or another; not infrequently in
both the one and the other way also.
He pays in paper and ink, for which
no credit is allowed, and then in cash,
to the merchant whose business .suc-
cess he has largely helped to create.
The people know that newspaper
men generally travel on passes and
look upon him with envy. The pub
Usher has commodity, a stock in
trade from which he derives his living
just the same as merchants. The rail-
road has a commodity for sale also;
the one has advertising space, the
other transportation; each has use for
and wants part of what the other
has: an exchange is made and there is
no free gift business about it. In point
of fact the editor and publisher is the
most unselfsh, selfsacrifcing mortal on
earth. He never gets anything free.
He paps for all he gets. If he does not
pay cash he does that in which he deals;
it is his stock in trade just as much as
grain is to the farmer, wares to the
merchant, the professional mans SER
vices to him. When it comes to giving
things away. the newspaper is the
great Santa Claus of humanity. 1t is
Christmas all the year with the news
paper, SO far as giving good gifts is
concerned, it gives freely more than all
other agencies combined. There is
not revolution of the press but what
some object, some enterprise, some
person is not receiving a free boost
toward the achieving of prominence
and success. ess.--Exchange.

A Wonderful Mesaphone.

A phonograph that shouts so loudly
that every word can be heard at dis
tance of ten miles, has been tested At
Brighton, says the 'London Mail. !"
You can whisper a sentence into the
machines small, funnel-shaped mouth
piece, and it will repeat it in tones
that are more deafening than the
shrieks Of q liners steam siren. Yet
every word is perfectly articulate, and
shorthand writer ten miles away can
take down the message as easily as II
you were debating to him in small
room.
The machine is the invention Of Hor-
ace L. Short of Brighton. In appear
ance it is merely an ordinary phono-
graph with large trumpet, measuring
four feet in length. Inside this trum-
pet there Is small delicate piece of
mechanism, that looks something
whistle. This Ia the tongue of
the machine. Instead of the ire
cords" being taken on wax in the
usual manner, q sapphire needle is
made to cut the dots representing the
sound vibrations OF silver cylinder,
and when the needle travels over the
metal a second time the vibrations
cause the whistle to produce series of
air-waves, and the machine thus be-
comes . talking siren, which trans-
forms the human voice into deafen-
ing roar.
The experiments were made near
the Devils Dyke, Brighton, where the
inventor has his workshops. The In
strument was placed on the roof of the
laboratory, and was made to repeat
number of sentences. At ditance of
ten miles the sounds were plainly
heard by large number OF people,
every word being perfectly distinct,
and at q second trial, with favorable
wind, 1t was found that an unknown
message could be taken down in short
hand at distance of twelve miles.
Over the water the sounds will carry
still further. and under favorable cir
cumstances they might easily be heard
by persons on vessel fifteen miles OUT
at sea. Placed on q lighthouse or
Iightship. the phonograph would give
9 verbal warning that would be in
dnitely more effective than the fog
horns and detonators at present use

New York and English Car Fares.

In Brooklyn and New York, passen-
gers are carried fifteen and twenty
miles for two aud one-half pence, or a
farthing mile, and the average would
be twelve and a half miles. less than a
farthing a mile. The municipality Of
Glasgow charges threepence for less
than six miles. halfpenny a mile;
Liverpool. practically the same; Bel
fast. threepence for five miles; Edin-
burgh. sevenpence for eight miles;
Manchester. eightpenee for eight miles.
and so on. not less than balfpenny

One Hundred Years Hence.

They are telling us now of a mega
phone or phonograph, into which you
can whisper, and it will send out your
words with a roar that will make them
distinctly audible at distance of ten
miles. That seems Incredible, because
it is apparently violation of the law
of physics that force cannot be increas-
ed; or, in other words, that nothing can
be brought out of nothing. And yet,
the statement appears in very circum-
stantial form and seems to be true.
Then, we read of a new process for
hardening iron, much cheaper than
Harvey's process and even the most
powerful guns cannot pierce or crush it.
Then we have a new process for max
ing gas which makes it saleabl at a
profit at thirty-eight cents instead of
81 or S1.50.
And we hear of a process for pulver-
izing milk which preserves it in
definitely in its original purity and
freshness, and makes it transportable
at very small cost, so that in the good
time coming New York babies will be
furnished with fresh milk, at a nominal
COST from dairies on the Western
prairies, or away up in the immense,
fertile Peace River valley, it may be.
We also read of a process whereby q

Turning to the science of healing, we
are told that professor in the Uni
versity of Michigan has dicovered an
intestinal antiseptic which, If it ful6lls
its promise, will Danish Asiatic cholera,
typhoid fever, dysentery and other in
testinal troubles.
And SO 1t goes on. Almost every
new week brings out some new dis
covery, of greater or less Importance,
or the further development of some
existing discovery.
Let us imagine this process of dis
covery and invention going on even at
the present rate for another century,
and where would the world be.
Why, our great-grandchildren will
be able almost to live on love and air,
and will converse with each other
across the ocean more easily than we
can now converse by telephone with
person on the other side of the city.
Why not? If photograph four feet
long can magnify a whisper SO as to be
heard ten miles away, why should not
forty foot phonograph magnify words
uttered in ordinary tones so as to be
heard ten thousand miles away?

sAEeunt Mckinley, with an altitude Of
2Q,46a feet, is the highest mountain In
North America and forms the central
point of an enormous and surprisingly
grapd mass situated at the
headwaters of the Sushitna and Kus-
kokwim rivers in Alaska. Mount Nc
kinley was known to the Russians set
tied about the head of Cooks inlet
nearly 100 years ago and was called by
them Bulshai (big). The first Ameri-
can to see and publish an account Of it
was prospector named w. A. Dickey,
who gave the mountain its present
name.-National Geographic Magazine.

In a rural town there lives an old
lady who is the possessor of-an econom-
ical disposition and two prepossessing
daughters who are bellies Of the town.
Not long ago, on Sunday afternoon,
two youths with a decided liking for
pretty girls drove out to see these two
fair damsels. They were cordially re-
ceived, delightfully."- entertained and
when supper time came invited to par
take of the evening meal. Supper over,
they still fingered. Bedtime come, they
still tarried.
The old lady. used to early hours,
went to her slumbers. but the two
young men found no fault with that.
Waking from sleep of several hours
and seeing a light still burning, the
old lady called:
Matilda"
Yes, mother"
"Haye the boys gone?"
The boys, with mods and pantomime,
besought Matilda to answer In the af-
firmative, So the daughter answered
again, Yes. mother"
A moment of silence, then Matilda" ;"
"Well, mother?"
"Wasn't them two boys hogs for but
teri"
The Young men, appreciating the
joke, had no hesitation in repeating the
tale to their boon companions, else the
story had never been told.

Destroyed by Chemicals.

Very few people are aware that as
soon as the trial of an assassin of roy
atty Is concluded the weapon with
which he accomplished his crime is
carefully destroyed SO that no trace Of
1t remains.
The reason of this is twofold-first of
all, the possibility exists that at some
time or other the weapons used in a
royal tragedy may be exhibited to the
public in some museum or show, and,
second, there is strange superstitious
dread existing among reigning houses
that the existence of the innocent but
unhallowed weapons by which rulers
have been dispatched to eternity is
fraught with peril to their descend
ants.
The method of destroying these
weapons is curious one. The wooden
portions, such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles of poniards, are burned.
and the metal portions are eaten away
In a bath Of nitric acid.
This has been the custom ever since
the attempted assassination of Queen
Isabella of Spain in 1852 by Merius.
Prior to that date the metal worlk of
firearms or knives was ground or filed
away, but the blade of the dagger with
which Merius sought to execute his
dastardly crime proved to be of such
exquisite temper and hardness that it
resisted both file and grindstone.
This became known to the populace,
and the superstitious Spaniards believ-
ed that Merius, who was an unfrocked
priest, had Invested his weapon with
magical qualities. To divest them Of
this absurd belief the authorities had
the weapon destroyed by immersing it
In chemicals, a rule that has been fol-
lowed ever since.

A city man wrote to the editor Of q
horticultural paper asking what plants
would be suitable additions to dried
grasses for winter ornaments.
The editor replied:
"Acroclinium, A. album. Gomphrena

When the man read this. he fairly
boiled over with rage and Immediately
sent a note ordering his paper to be
discontinued. He said that an editor
who swore in that way just because he
was asked a simple question should
have no support from him.-London

AS to living on love and air, it looks
very much as if some of the great
grandchildren of the present genera
tion would have to learn to do that
same. For the whole tendency of
things is to concentrate, lot only the
wealth of the world but also the op-
portunities for earning living, more
and more in the hands of the few, so
that it is rapidly becoming question
of the survival of the fittest," which
evolutionists tell rs is the universal
law of things-it being understood that
the "fttest" to survive does not mean
the most noble or most useful, but the
one who succeeds.

What Dreaming of Ice Means,

1t is very favorable omen to dream
of ice, say the superstitious. 1t augurs
that your sweetheart will be Of amiable
temper, To the trader 1t denotes sue
cess and riches and to the farmer plen-
tiful haryests, But to dream of slid
ing or skating on the Ice is not SO good.
This indicates nonsuccess in business,
and If you are in love your sweetheart
will prove tickle. To military mel 1t
foretells much trouble.
