which marked their recent meeting

along we'll organized lines and under

site directions. every member think
ing that he Is carrying the whole
weight OF the deliberations upon his
own shoulders.

scientific gatherings in my life." he
concluded. "and this Is one Of the hrst
which did not remind me of q short
story once heard. A lot Of water
bugs once assembled for the purpose
Of making . trip down the Mississippi
on . log. Tho trip was never taken
because every one Of the bugs thought

CUBAN PITY FOR AMERICANS.

Pneumonia More to Be Dreaded Than

Honest" said a Cuban doing busi-

house, ''our people in Havana have
quite as much sympathy with the peo:

ravages of pneumonia here as you
have for US on account Of yellow
fever. -
Even when we had the fever all

tary improvements made 1t all but q

in such climate and with the deadly
pneumonia. l myself wouldn't live
here in the winter II could help It,
and tell you frankly would much
rather be laid up with yellow fever
than with pneumonia.
"Of course. the fever with us was
something mighty hard on foreigners

Of some position in Havana. who often
met prominent Americans at recep-
tions and other functions and always
looked them over carefully, from the
toes to the head. actually as II sizing
them up to see what size of coffin they
would need, for Americans used to die
in droves IN Havana
This undertaken used to be called
upon very often. too. to do his mel
ancholy work for those whom only a
few days or weeks before he had
grasped by the hand. Americans did
not understand the climate and took
no care to accommodate themselves to
1t.
"At least that was the case twenty
years ago or SO. Later on they be-
came more cautious. and now, well.
don't believe there's an intelligent
Cuban hut feels very much the same
about pneumonia as you New York
ers do about yellow fever. Often you
will hear friends say to some one who
Is about to sail for this port: Look
out for the pneumonia They dread

An idea equally new for a frame
and one made with much less labor
than the canvas work. Is to paint with
water colors a striking. rather pro-
nounced flower. poppy or an iris.
This then should be cut out and past
ed on a background Of Japanese grass

Or green If an iris is chosen. The
