KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY.
Stand Erect and Walk as Though
You Were Somebody

Never allow your physical standard
to drop. Keep up your energy. Walk
as if you were somebody aud were go
ing to do something worth while in the
world, so that eve a stranger will note
your bearing and mark your superior
ity. If you have fallen into a habit of
walking in a l~istless, indolent way,
turn right about face at once and make
a change. You don't want to shuttle
along like the failures we often see sit
ting around on park benches or lolling
about the streets, with their hands il
their pockets, or haunting intelligence
offices and wondering why fate has
been so hard with them. You don't
want to give people the impression that
you are discouraged or hat you are al
ready falling to the rear. Straighten
up, then! Stand erect! Be a man!
You are a child Of the Infinite King.
You have royal blood in your veins.
Emphasize it by your bearing. A man
who is conscious Of his kinship with
God and of his power and who believes
thoroughly In himself walks with a
firm, vigorous step, with his head erect,
his chin In, his shoulders thrown back
and down, and his chest well projected
In order to give a large lung capacity.
He is the man who does things.
You cannot aspire or accomplish great
or noble things so long as you assume
the attitude and bearing Of a coward
or weakling. II you would be noble
and do noble things you must look up.
You were made to look upward and to
walk upright. not to look down or to
shamble along in a semihorizontal posi-
ton. Put character. dignity, nobility,
Into your walk.-Success.

CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL.
Only One English King, Henry W.,
Has Bexs Entombed There.

The ancient cathedral at Canterbury
shelters the remains of only one Eng
lish king, Henry ". That this par
ticular monarch should have been en-
tombed there is the more remarkable
since he breathed his last in tie ieru-
salem chamber of Westminster abbey.
and il might naturally have been sup
posed In the circumstances that he
would have been laid to rest in tie alb
hey. where so many other OF England's
kings sleep their last sleep. II seems,
however. that Henry before bis death
gave orders that he was to be hlr,ed
in the cathedral at Canterbury oppo
site the tomb Of his uncle. Edward,
the Black Prince.
For hundreds of years Il story was
current that on the way down the riv-
er a hurricane arose and that the peo-
pie on board the vessel, convinced that
the storm was caused by the fact that
a kings body was on board, cast The
corpse into the water in the dead or
night and, filling the coffin with rub
bish. brought it with all pomp and cir
cumstance to the cathedral. Some
years ago the dean and chapter resoly-
ed TO get at the truth Of the story.
so they opened the royal tomb and
the kings lead coffin. For n brief
moment dean and chapter gazed upon
the kingly lineaments of that monarch
whom Shakespeare describes as SKY
aspiring Bolingbroke." Only for a mo-
ment, however, as the body crumbled
to dust almost at once. But Canter-
bury now knows beyond all doubt that
an English king rests within its walls.

CLIMBING PLANTS.

Their IRREGULARITIES.
Climbing plants may be divided into
Ave classes-hook climbers. DOT climb

Hook climbers are equipped with
hooks, which are caught up in the sur.
rounding vegetation.
Root climbers, like ivy, throw out
fibers along their stems and ascend
slowly, insinuating themselves by
means Of r%ootlets. which grow away
from the light and become glued to the
stems Of trees or to harder surfaces.
Twiners, like the scarlet runner. hop.

selves around the upright stems of
their ncighbors. Some. like the convol-
vulus. bend toward the left; others. like
the hop, Irvine to the right.
The climbing habit, however, is most
perfectly exhibited by plants with sen
sitive prehensile organs. either leaves
or tendrils.
In the tendril bearers we find here
and there along the stem sensitive,
twfning. whiplike structures, which
curve to what they touch and eventu-
ally link themselves round IT, or this

According to British naval docu-
ments Of the years 1888 and 1859, 1t
was the custom Of seamen Of that day
to use the round robin al a safe and
effective means Of bringing their griev-
ances before the authorities. A similar
practice existed In France, but the al
legged origin Of the term 'round robin"
from rond ruban. a circular band used
In the French petitions, Is probably
fallacious.
The term existed In England long be

Thus in Devonshire a round robin"

Something must have stung your

Of a large collie which, after swapping
frantically at a flying insect, lowered
his head and carefully licked his right
forepaw.
"No," replied the owner Of the dog,
that is only a little delusion OF bis.
When he was a puppy a bee stung him
on that foot you see him attending to,
and ever since he has cherished a
standing grudge against flying insects.
Apparently the sight OF one not only
u his anger. but recalls most
wildly his irst experience with one,
for each time after running after one,
whether he catches it or not. he stops
and tenderly ticks the place where he
was stung two years ago. AS far as |
know he has never been stung since
then."-Philadelphia Press.

EQUIVALENCE IN NATURE.
"To Every Action There Is an Equal
and Opposite Reaction"

We shall search in vain for any dem
onstrated truth concerning the system
OF nature. for any law. rule or axiom
of physics which does not rest funda
mentally upon the equivalence of ac-
ton and reaction. of cause and effect
''The straight line Joining the sun and
planet must pass over equal areas In
equal times" is Kepler's law. AT ans
point in a fluid at rest the pressure is
equal in all directions" is Pascals
principle. "A body immersed in a t1u!i
Is buoyed mp by a force equal TO the
weight of the fluid displaced" is the
principe of Archimedes. The angle.
of incidence and reflection are in the
same plane and are equal is the law
of reflection. The reciprocal of the
principal focal length is equal TO the
sum of the rcciprocals of any two con
jugate focal lengths" is the law of con
yerging lenses. The current is equal
to the electro motive force divided by
the resistance is Ohm's law. The
disappearance of a definite amount Of
mechanical energy is accompanied by
the production Of an equivalent amount
of heat is Joule's principle. Observe
how perfectly these ana the other nrin-
ciples and laws of physics agree with
Newton's law of motion, TO every ac-
ton there is an equal and opposite re-
action
The universally of equivalence is
broadly expressed in the law Of the
conservation of energy. when one
form of energy disappears, its exact
equivalent in another form always
takes its place" This law, accepted by
modern science. leaves no ground for
the assumption that there can be a
failure of equivalence in motion or
transformation.
Can We say that the equivalents
which return persistently in motion
and transformation are compensatory;
Yes; the return of an exact equivalent
Is exact compensation. Heat is the
compensation for the fuel that pro-
duces il, electricity is the compensation
for the energy that is transformed into
it, ono molecule of water is the com
pensation for two atoms of hydrogen
and one atom Of oxygen. A definite
amount of matter or force pays for
exactly the same amount in another
form. That which disappears and that
which succeeds are mutually compensa-
tory. Fuel pays for heat, and heat
pays for fuel. The account balances
perfectly. Nature has no profit sId
loss account, no bad debts, no failures
In compensation.
The assumption that anything can
exist in the physical world without *
act compensation appeals to the scorn
alike of science and of common sense.
Our patent Office in Washington refuses
to consider devices to produce perpetu-
al motion, not because that Office would

tween the silk workers Of the world is
so rapid that Il discovery made by one
is soon known TO all the others. The
reason so many modern silks do not
wear is because they are ~adulteratCd
to meet tie demand for cheapness,
their wearing ability being IN exact
proportion to the amount OF silk they
contain. Cheap silks are largely made
up Of dye and dressing \ good quail
ty OF silk is defined by manufacturers
as one which has not more than four
ounces Of weighing to the pound,
