Make the Tropics Contribute.

Development of the great natural re- sources of the tropical belt ofthee earth is. in the opinion of Hon. O. P Austin, chief of the bureau of statistics, anecessity for the future progress of the world. Although this belt contains practically one-half of the land area of the globe, it now contributes but one-sixth of the exports which enter into international commerce. With the growing popula- tion of the world, and the increase of fa- cilities for transportation, a change should be wrought in this respect. Sci encet has shown how life and health can be protected in the tropics, and India, southern China, and other oriental coun- tries contain populations capable of la boring. and willing to labor, in the trop- ics. Finally, Mr. Austin points out that in comparatively recent years practi- cal1y all the tropics, ,except pttropical Amer lea, have been brought under the con trol of temperate-zone countries.

THE MEANING OF MUSIC.
Tones Have Their Specific Express
 Sions Just as Much as Spoken Words.

Music is science more exact than most people suppose" said violinist, reports the Philadelphia Ledger. You can't, for instance, say different things with the same tones in music any more than you can say different things with the same words in English or French. Black means black in English; never under any circumstances can it mean white. In the same way, in music, 8 major third expresses an interrogation or an appeal, never anything else, and this appealing quality becomes exceed- ingly marked in the fourth descending
 while the fourth ascending advances from interrogation to affirmation and finally to command. Major and minor fifths travel by regular gradations from prayer to desire, and from desire to menace. Sixths express passion-all love music is written in sixths. To a semi-tone higher, and this love, this passion, becomes 9 painful, an em- nous, an ill-starred one. Sevenths ex- press grief, tragedy. Perhaps you think I am exaggerating here. but assure you I am not. What I claim you will find claimed in many treatises on mu- sic, and if you will study the works os the composers, you will find that thu
 too, bear me out"

MISLAID EYEGLASSES.
A Common Occurrence I'm the Heated Season When People Dress
 Lightly.

Summer is the time for mail order business in our trade" said an optician who has large trade In the Wall street territory, relates the New York Times. "A man who'is in the habit of carrying his eyeglasses in his waistcoat pocket when it is cool enough to wear full suit of clothes is more than likely to leave them around in restaurants, on hotel piazzas, or any other place he may happen to lay them down when he begins to wear fiannels and outing suits. A number of men won't wear coat-and. trousers suits simply because they can't get along without the waistcoat pock- cts. To lose pair of eyeglasses or spectacles made to order from a pre- scription and costing anywhere from $5 to $15 Is no trifling matter, to say nothing of having to get along with a cheap substitute for two or three days until we can make another pair. Op- ticians keep these prescriptions in books, just as druggists do medicinal prescrlp- tions. We are constantly getting or ders from customers away on their va cation to replace glasses that have been lost or broken. Sometimes they are in such hurry that they send us the num- Der by telegraph"

 CHAMELEONS IN BATHING.
New Fad Which Summer Girls at Att lantic City Have Made
 Much Of.

Taking chameleons in to bathe is S new fad which Atlantic City has dsvel- oped, says recent report.
 Scores of girls have adopted it.
 The scheme was worked by girl who owned a chameleon that had grown lazy. She tried various ways of arousing it from it's stupor, and at last hit upon the idea of taking it for a romp in the surf.
 She was rewarded with an instanta- neous change in the little lizards de- meanor Just as soon as 1t heard the roll of the first breaker it's skin went through a whirl of color changes. And when she gave it a ducking it produced new shade of pink verging into yell low and green that she never knew it pos- sessed.
 Little time was lost in making known the discovery to others through the re- sort, and girls who had no chameleons bought them right off to see the oceans effect on them. .l
 aftOh, girls,'' cried one. as she held out her chameleon for inspection, some wa- ter splashed into his eyes, and he looks like a box of paint. I wonder If the dear things angry?"

WRITER'S THOUGHT cRAMp.
Distressing Periods of Mental ApathS When the Brain Refuses
 to Work

If the fiction writer has his delicious moments, when he tastes the joys which come with the excitement of creative composition-and these he undoubtedly has-also he knows distressing periods of mental apathy, says the Reader. He has been working away at. top speed, full of gladness in that subtle fabric which his pen weaves in the warp and wool of paper and ink. His head is packed with inspired ideas, like gift box from the gods. His hopes ride high. His ambitions scrape the clouds. ss
 Then something happens. It is not a snap, break, a crash-nothing so tangi- ble. It is just a ceasing. Abruptly, un- expectedly, all his fine thoughts vanish. No longer is life country of majestic, white-robed heights and alluring pur- ple-toned valleys All is Hat and gray and bleak.
 Just about now. if the writer only knew it, Is most excellent time to go fishing
 At last, baf1ed, discouraged, heart sick, he sits with his head in his hands, contemplating with foolish self-pity the naelancholy spectacle of himself.
 But, like drought and flood, war and pestilence, and all other ills great and small, 1t passes. And he knows not how or when it goes. Days after he wakes up to find himself. pen in hand, hard at work again. Of it's, own accord, appar- ently, the machine has set itself in mo- tion.

New York AafeRn.

New York is never entirely asleep, but possibly 3,0ee,000 of her inhabitants doze part of the night We roar our- selves to sleep. The process is very gradual. Early infancy and senile old age retire with the chickens The gay throng of youth and middle age makes 6 hot pace till midnight, then slowly the pulse begins to grow feeble. By one nearly all honest folk are in bed. leaving the city to rounders. Cars run at long intervals. Now and then car- hage gives f1utter. Imagine 3,00e, ,000 persons lying on the dead levep' for six or seven hours. some on pillows of down, some on curhstones, some be- meath the star-spangled blue quilt of heaven. Queer figures they make, to be sure.-N. Y. Press.
