The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action of
this congress will probably deter
mine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought.
The Commoner proposes to carry on
q campaign of education and organi-
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
partment, which receives Mr.. Bry-
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de.
partment, wherein a non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conduct ed, among
which is a summary of the world 8
news told in narrative style, and
Mr.. Maupin's department-Wheth-
err Common or Not-contalns origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in
homely phrase and verse, and ap-
peals to old and young alike.
The Commoner as whols is clean
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in circulation-now
amounting to 140,00O-is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
moner can be supplied at very low
rate with THE New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for 500 This
offer applies to both new and renew
al subscriptions, and should be taken
advantage of without delay. All

THE CHEWING INSTINCT.
Exercise of the jaw Is n Desire THAI
Is Powerful In the
INA

Seeing that the maXillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been
put to vigorous use, it is not surpris-
ing that the need to exercise it should
express itself as a powerful instinct,
says the Lancet. This instinct mani
tests itself in many and curious ways.
During the early month of life the nat
ural function of feeding at the breast
provides the infants jaws, tongue and
lips with all the needful exercise.
This bottle feeding fails to do, and
we frequently find bottle-fed children
seeking to satisfy the natural instinct
by sucking their thumb, fingers, or
any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they act
ually appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substances he can lay hold of, aEl
there can be no doubt that exercise OF
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton of the teeth, a truth, indeed, rec
ognized universally, whether by the
primitive mother, who strings the
tooth of some wild animal round the
neck of her infant, or the ~up-to-date
parent who provides her child with a
| bejeweled ivory or coral baulle.
When the teeth have erupted, the
| m~asticatory instinct finds among prim-
tive peoples abundant satisfaction IN
the chewing of the coarse, hard foods
| which constitute their dietary, bit
among us moderns, subsisting as we
do mainly on soft foods, afIording but
little exercise for the m~asticatOry ap-
| paratus, it does not find its proper OK
preston, and thus tends to die out.
| Nevertheless, it dies q hard death, and
long continues to assert itself; wit
ness the tendency of children to bite
their pencils and penholders; l have
| known a child to gnaw through a bone
penholder, much in the same way as
a carnivorous animal gnaws at q
bone.
This instinct to chew, for cheWing's
| sake, manifests itself all over the
world. In our own country not only
do children bite pencils and penhold-
| ers. but they will chew small pieces OF
India rubber for hours together. The
practice of gum-ehewlng, SO common
among our American cousins, evident
ly comes down from far-off times, for
the primitive Australians chew sew
eral kinds of gum, attributing to them
nutrient qualities, and the Patagonians
are said to keep their teeth white and
clean by chewing matri, a gum which
exudes from the incense bush.

HISTORY OF THE ANCHOR.
garious improvements Have Been
Made in Its shape since the
Original.

The ships anchors in general use,
fury, consisted of a long, round iron
shank, having two comparatively
short, straight arms or 1ukes, in
clined to the shank at an angle OF
about 40 degrees, and meeting it in a
somewhat sharp point at the crown.
In large anchors the bulky wooden
stock was built up of several pieces,
hoped together, the whole tapering
outward to the ends, especially on the
aft or cable side. About the begin
ming of the last century, states Science
Siftings, a clerk in the Plymouth
naval yard, Pering by name, suggest
ed certain improvements. the most i'm
pcrtant of.which was making the arms
curved instead Of straight. At first
sight this simple change may seem OF
little value, but consideration will
show that this Is not the case. The
holding power of an anchor depends
on two principal conditions, namely.
the extent of useful holding surface
and the amount of vertical penetra-
ton. The latter quality is necessary
on account of the nature of ordinary
sea bottoms, the surface layers of
which are generally less tenacious and
resisting than is the ground a short
distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables began
to supersede the hempen ones, with
the result that the long-shanked an
chors hitherto in vogue were no longer
necessary, and anchors with shorter
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. In
consequence of these changes, a com
mission vas appointed in the year 1895
to inquire into the holding power\oi
anchors, and a principal result of its
labors was the adoption of the So
called admiralty pattern anchor, which
continued to be used in the navy W
to the year 1860. The invention O.
the steam hammer in 1912 made The
Welding of heavy masses of iron
comparatively easy and reliable proc
ess, so that from this time onward
the strength of anchors fully kept pace
with that of the chain cables which
had Ome into general use.
A number of patents for anchor
were taken out prior to the great ex
hibition of 1851, and public attention
having been called to the models Their
shown. in the following year a com
mittee was appointed by the admiralt.
to report on the qualifications of an
chors of the various kinds. Practice
trials were then instituted, and, as
result, Trotman's anchor took tn
highest place, Rodgers anchor bein
second on the list. Some of the test
to which the anchors were submitte
were Of doubtful value. such. for in
stance, as facility for sweeping.
Nowadays. however, at all events fo
deep ships in shallow harbors, 1t
considered an advantage for an ancho
to offer as little obstruction as poss.
BILE above the ground.
