why Arctic waters Arc yellow.

Arctic explorers never tire of telling
how beautifully yellow the waters Of
the northern sea appear. To those who
live on the seashore in temperate and
tropical countries the stories Of trav-
elers concerning the yellow waters Of
Greenland and Iceland are taken with
the proverbial grain Of salt" but sci
entists have declared that the arctic
seas are yellow. and Il was Scores
by who first explained the cause Of its
peculiar color. Perceivlng that the wa
ters were of an unusual color, he had
some drawn up and examined it with
his microscope. To his surprise, he
found that the color was due TO the
presence of minute animalcules, each
so inconceivably small that a single
drop Of the water contained upward Of
10000 Of the little creatures. At that
rate a pint Of the water would show

Only Medal. For nrnrerr.

In the Japanese army men are not
promoted for distinguished conduct on
the field and officers do not assume the
rank Of a superior officer who may be
killed. By distinguishing themselves
they gain nothing but decorations. The
Order Of the Golden Kite is a most COW
eted honor. Every man seeks TO obtain
It not only because 1t carries with It
certain monetary rewards. but for the
honor which its possession bestows on
the wearer. No officer attains higher
rank except by going through the nee
essary course OF study and passing the
examinations. Mere bravery cannot
bring promotion.

AN "OsLER" CLUB.

Atlantic City Organization to Put
Men out of BUSINESS when Useless.
The first Osler club in the world was
recently organized at Atlantic City, n.
j., with twenty charter meipbers, says
the New York World. All are prosper
Gus, active in business and vigorous in
health.
The president of the club, Benjamin
Bacharach vows that each member is
solemnly bound to retire from active
business when the majority Of his fel-
lows declares he should be "Oslered."
Only men between forty and forty-hve
years of age are eligible to member
ghip.
"If the majority so orders, will you
PhlOroform q member when he reaches
the age Of sixty?" Mr.. Bacharach was
asked
"Wel-l-l," be hesitated, that ques-
ton cannot present itself for fifteen
years at least. and we have not con-
sidered it officially"
Mr.. Bacharach, a leading merchant,
was forty years old the other day.
Other members are Lewis Hopes, real
estate dealer, vice president; DR.. A. D..
Cuskaden, secretary; William Burk-
hardt. owner of big tracts Of ocean
front: Warren Commers, president OF
the board of trade; C. c. Shinn, owner
of the Hotel Raleigh; Robert L. Warke
and William Famce.
Not one is more than fOrty-one years
old, so even the possibility Of being
chlorof0rmed is somewhat remote. The
clubs bylaws have not been made pub
lie: but, it eppears. members must live
in Atlantic City all the year round.
A Philadelphian who was carrying
his grip TO the railroad station the 9TH
er day remarked somewhat sadly:
'"rhere is no need to elect visitors OF
any age TO the club. All visitors are
chloroformcd flguratvely, so as to
make painless the presentation of their
bill and the separation from their
money"
"Thc formation of the Atlantic City
Oslcr club must not be taken as a
joke" said Mr.. Bacharach. I'VE be-
lleye in the wisdom Of Dr. Osler's theo-
rios We firmly believe men should re-
tire. certainly from business, when they
reach the limit of their usefulness. The
commercial and professional worlds are
encumbcred by those who should make
way for younger. more active. more
useful men.

QTGSe anu CogNs
Monkeys are the most initiative Of
the lower animals, and some very
funny stories are told of their
pranks. Occasionally they get them
selves into trouble by their propensi-
ty for doing what they see people do
and then get well punished for their
mischief. A story is told of a pet
monkey owned by a lady living IN
London that, seeing the maid wash
ing the laces of her mistress one
day, obligingly offered to help her.
Being angrily repulsed by the maid,
the monkey withdrew at a safe dis
tance, and after giving the girl a
good scolding in monkey chatter for
her rudeness he started out to see
what he could find on his own ac-
count in the way of laundry work.
Relating the story, the lady who
owned the monkey said:
'Unfortunately the windows of
my room were inyitingly open, and
he entered with the idea of the wash
ing still fresh in his head. He soon
discovered two small drawers con-
tanning lace, ribbons and handker-
chiefs. All, here was the washing all
ready to his hands, In a moment
all of these articles were out of the
drawers and into a foot pan, together
with all the soap and water that
happened to be in my room, and. the
laundering began. He must have
washed away with great yigor. for
