COMMERCE GOES WESTWARD.
Saving Of Time Turns Travel ana
Traffic Through the Western
Hemisphers.

The European mails and passengers
already go from London to eastern
Asia by way of Canada, because 1t is
shorter, and there is a saving OF ten
days in time. The limits imposed on
cheap freight traffic from Europe to
Asia are: The tolls through the Suez
canal, the size of ships that can pass the
Suez canal, the cost OF coal along the
route and the distance. says the En-
gineering Magazine.
Tolls may be abolished, but this Is
not likely. 1t will take years to deep
Ell the canal II this project should be
advocated. The cost Of coal along
the route, as well as the distance,
will always be a serious drawback.
There is abundant and cheap coal in
Great Britain, on the Atlantic sea-
board, at Puget sound, and all along
the line of the northern roads, and
there are an unlimited number Of
empty freight cars west bound. BY
building the largest ships in the
world, even though they run under
the more expensive American regis
ter, by filling the wext-bound cars at
rate little more than cost Of hand
ling, Mr.. Hill knows that he can turn
the export trade with western Asia
from It's 3oo-year-old way past India
to the direct Pacific sea route past
Alaska.

HABITS OF SOUTHERN BOYS.
Two Chara ctertntie Marks by which
Their Home Section May be
Determined.

"I'll bet that boy is from the SOUTH"
said man, as he saw lad of about IL

table in the dining-room. relates the
New York Sun.
Have you heard him speak?" asked
the other man.

notice that his hair is correctly
brushed in front. while behind 1t looks

ern tornado.
at is southern boys way. Inever
knew one who brushed the hair on the
back Of his head. do not know why,
nor do know why aEouthern boy who
has to shine his own shoes never puts
a polish on the heels. He will labor
in getting up q mirror shine on the
front of his shoes and leave his heels
untouched until they become russell in
shade.
There Is another thing that you
will notice about boy who has been
raised In the south-he rarely parts
his hair In the middle. 1t IL either
parted on the side or reached.
II don't know what has become Of
the boy with what we used to call the
cowlick on his hair, but at one time he
was very numerous. I haven't seen a
boy with a cowlick since the war, but
when lived In the south he was often
seen"

New Electrical Novelty.

The game OF sylphs is the most re-
Gently devised form Of amusement; 1t
is in reality electric battledore and
shuttlecock. The two players hold
a wand each, these wands having
been electrified by friction. The
shuttlecock is represented by but
terfly made OF collodion. The butter
fly Is thrown into the air, and one
or other player approaches the tip
Of his wand to the so-called sylph;
the electrified wand repels the but
terfly. which skins away as tho
wand draws near. In this way the but
terhy is sent flying hither and thith'
er without being touched. A very
good game. with the proper rules, IL
made from this idea.

DAILY VACCINATION.
Frequent Application of Virus Cures
Severe Cases OF Smallpox
in short Nine.

Smallpox is by no means an inno-
cent disease, though the ancient sta
tistics of mortality have been long
since done away with. Yet mortal
ity Of from Is to Is per cent. IL not
rare, even In vaccinated persons, and
various complications are often met
with, says the New York Medical Jour
nal. Hubert Qs9a) found that repeat
ed vaccination was useful in tho treat
ment Of smallpox. but only Ia tho
prodromal stages 81 the disease.
kotowschikoff went further than this.
He found that repeated vaccination,
performed, daily for number OF days,
had marked significance upon the
course Of smallpox, not only in the
prodromal stages, but also In the be-
ginning of the disease. Since then
various authors have written on the
subject. In order to test the thera-
peutic value of repeated vaccination
in smallpox, the auth or tried this mode
Of treatment in eight cases. The ma
jority Of these patients entered with
a smallpox rash fully developed-five
in the popular stage, one in the puru-
lent stage and two at the end OF the
prodromal period.
The vaccinations were made twice
daily, three scarifcations being made
each time, and were performed in the
two patients that entered during the
prodromal period only after the rash
had fully set in. The test was, there
fore, directed solely to find the value
of repeated vaccinations in the ad-
vanced stages Of smallpox, not in the
early part Of the disease. OF the
eight patients, two had q mild form
of the disease from the start, the
others a severe form. In general the
use Of repeated vaccinations gave more
or less favorable results. In the
severe cases the improvement was APP
parently connected with the use of
repeated vaccinations, yet 1t is diff
cult to say whether the cases would
have taken just such a course II no
vaccinations had been made. The
author concludes that, in smallpox,
repeated vaccinations should be used,
the earlier the better, and that the
largest usefulness could be expected
from this treatment in the earlier
stages of the disease. A larger num-
Der Of cases should be observed to
determine its value in the later stages.

WATCHES ARE LIKE WOMEN.
Must he Tenderly Cared for and Net
Exposed to Sudden Changes
of Temperature.

Every owner Of a watch should con-
slider that tho delicate piece Of mech
anism belongs to the feminine gender.
and, like sweetheart or wife, must
be tenderly cared for and not subject
ed to sudden changes Of temperature,
says a Journal OF the trade. Many q
man who would not think OF letting his
wife 60 out in the evening without
some kind OF wrap about her oh oul-
ders will wear his watch next to his
warm body all day and let 1t lie at
night ON a cold mantelpiece. Then he
wonders why it gains or loses time.
Cold causes contraction Of the met
ais composing the balance wheel and
ITS parts, and the watch consequently
gains. When the parts expand under
the heat Of the body the pivots, bear
ings, ETC., tighten up and the watch
loses
Getting the steel parts Of ones
watch magnetized is another fire.
quent cause Of trouble; while chang
ing the position Of watch, such as
putting it down horizontally, is also
apt to affect It's action.
1t il we'll known that 4 watch will
stop for some unexplained reason and
go on again il it is given slight jolt.
The same trouble may not recur for
years. This is due to the delicate hair
spring catching either in the hair
spring stud or in the regulator pins.
The cause Is a sudden jump or quick
movement, which gives jolt to the
balance-wheel and hairspring, and
thus renders the catching possible.

PAY OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Differences shown In Pedagogio
Computation in Various Parts
Of tho Country.

THE people have done more for the
teachers of New York city than has
been done for sny body Of teachers In
the world" writes Prof. McAndrew,
principal of the girls high school. in
the Worlds Work.
As for teachers in general, the rec
ord is usually after this fashion:
"Crates, Of Mallos, was the first to
teach grammar in Rome. Having had
the misfortune to fall into a sewer,
thus breaking his leg, he was thence
forward considered good for nothing
but to be q teacher"
Horace mentions Orbillius, the most
famous teacher OF his time, only to
confer on him an immortality OF con-
tempt.
The first American schoolmasters,
say the historians Of education, were
also grsve-diggers. street-sweepers,
and were employed In other occupa-
tons similarly looked down upon.
Maine, in cities Of more than 5000 in
habitants, pays teachers $44s a year
upon the average.
The cities of this state pay 1858 TO the
average teacher; the cities of Massa-
chusetts, s72S year; the cities OF
Pennsylvania, 1928. In the latter state,
as whole, women average 1904.
The average (monthly) salary for
the country is SAT for men, 500 for
women.
Lewis Elkin, Of Philadelphia, has just
used in penSioning worn-out teachers.

A self-Protecting Envelope.

The flap Is imbued with some chem
