ELECTRICITY SOURCE OF LIFE.
While Not Life Itself 1t Plays I'M
portant Part in the Production
of Phenomena.

There is good reason for believing
that the chemical as we'll as the phys
ical changes OF protoplasm are pro-
duced by alterations in electrical con-
ditions, and that the remarkable chem
lcal powers OF prOtOplasm shown in its
syntheses and decompositions are in
reality electrical, and resemble those
produced in electrolysis by the action
OF the current, states the World To-
Day. When, for example, an electric
charge is removed from an organic
compound it decomposes and new COM
pounds .arise. We can therefore say
that those substances will poison the
protoplasm which give up or part with
their charges easily. Substances which
give up their charges with especial ease
are mercury and silver, which are &C.
cordingly very poisonous We are even
able, from electrical data recently OBJ
tanned, to calculate approximately for
any salt how much WILDE necessary to
kill a given protoplasm in given time.
1t may fairly be said, then, that the
forces of protoplasm are electrical in
large part at least, and that they give
rise under these special conditions to
the phenomena which constitute life.
This is of course quite different from
saying that electricity is life. Life is a
name we give to group of phenomena;
While electricity plays part in pro-
duclng these it is not itself the phe-
nOmena.

PAY OF PROFESSORS.
Colleges Pay PropOrtiOnately Less
Now Than They Did Fifty
Years Ago,

Whether it is, or is not, in accord with
the eternal fitness of things that college
professors should be kept poor, the fact
Is that they are so, says the Syracuse
Post-Standard. One who had studied
the subject with some care was heard
to assert not long since that he failed to
see how a college teacher could marry
without skimping his laundry bills.
Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard, dreams
of day when American professors
shall be paid as German professors are,
$4,000 year or thereabouts. To most
people this seems not merely dream,
but something very close to what is
vu]garly termed a "pipedream," i. e., a
hallucination induced by some power
full narcotic.
The Harvard Graduates Magazine
goes so far as to declare that the college
professors of the present day are more
poorly paid than the college professors
OF half century ago when the president
Of Harvard got $4,000 a year, and James
Russell Lowell $1,000 for teaching
bellies lettres and bringing up the Cam
bridge youths in the paths of French
and Spanish languages and literature.
The best Harvard professors of to-day
receive $4,000 year at the elimination
of their career, but in purchasing power
this is not the equivalent of the 1920
which the best men were paid in 1856,
says the Harvard Graduates Magazine.

FOR A WEAK STOMACH.
Flannel Prescription WhiclIs Sure
to Bring Speedy. =.
Relief

All who suffer from poor digestion
should wear ten-inch width of fan
mel bandage next the skin, pinned fairly
tight round the body over the stomach.
NO liver or digestive pill or pepsin prep
aratlon helps the stomach q twentieth
part as much as this flannel prescription,
says the Boston Budget A poor circula-
ton in the stomach, causing that chilly,
miserable" feeling, is at the root of
half the indigestion that mortals are
heir to. That is why hot-water drinking
gives relief. 1t helps the circulation. A
flannel bandage worn DAY and night all
the year round cures the faulty blood
circulation of the stomach; consequent
ly it cures dyspepsia. Five hours inter-
val between meals, avoiding fried foods,
made dishes and mixtures and observing
three or four 'Lenten meals" in every
week are golden rules for good diges-
ton. A good dinner at night is neces-
sary for those whose pleasure or work
keeps them up very late, but for ordi
nary folk who dine at seven and go to
bed about 10:30 only light, whole
some repast should be taken at the enc
OF the day, when the muscles and nerves
are more or less exhausted. A tired
stomach is weak stomach" is a golden
rule to remember, yet how often one
hears people say:
i've been rushing about all day and
am tired to death. l must have big
meal to make up for it," You may put
the big meal into the stomach, but you
cannot make the stomach digest it.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAN
Frauds I'm Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cinc;n.

was recently found in that city secreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is
secreted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub.

that he has luggcd lump of lead in his
watch case.

gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
something to do with the-stamping or
guaranteeing the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise a watch described as q solid
gold filled watch with twenty or twenty
tive-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent G. o. d., and if the pnr-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the

Never dark and never dreary
All its blooms are sweet with dew!
And the hooking bird is singing,
Swinging low and high and singing,
And my ev'ry thought is winging
Out across the world to you!

Stirred by breezes from the ocean,
And its ey'ry sweet emotion
Dear, is born of dreams Of you:
And I lift the chalice gladly.
Slowly. slowly. never sadly;
Never quickly, never madly;
IT'S most enchanting BREW!
Drain It slowly, slowly, slowly,
With q spirit meek and loWly,
IT'S a wondrous brew and holy; :
Life is good: 1t gave me you!
And I'm glad, dear, in my telling
Can you see the gladness yelling
In my heart and feel it's swelling?
All. life's skies are arched and blue!
Dear, when I am lowly lying;
When my last faint breath comes signing,
And my spirit preens for flying,
And llfes cup is drained and through,
I shall end 1t, never shrinking,
With no sad regret or thinking,
All Of it was worth the drinking.
II was sweet with love of you!
