Body's Electric Conductivity.

The human body as a conductor or

les for the electricians pastime Their
Investigations show singular varia-
tions in this conductivity, due to the
psychical or physiological condition Of
the subject of the experiments The
magnitude of the resistance is found
to be sensitively dependent upon the
hour of day, the place of measure
ment, and even upon the character of
the subjects last meal A noise or
the presence or absence of other per-
sons has marked effect. Any inter-
nal or external psychical influence
will result instantly in an oscillation,
often of great magnitude, in the value
OF the resistance, sometimes reducing
it to as little as 20 or 80 per cent of
its normal value. Nervous persons
and strong smokers or drinkers are
found to have an extremely low re-
sistance. The average value found for
the resistance, as measured from
hand to hand, is about 5000 ohms.

Tobacco-Measuring Pouch.

The old-time powder pouch, by
which the charge to be placed in a
gun was measured as it passed from
the interior of the pouch into the bar
rel, is more or less familiar to the
older generation to whom the use of
the muzzle-loading weapon was some
what familiar. These guns are now so
scarce that they are encountered only
semi-occasionally, and, consequently,
the device by which they were loaded
is something of the nature of a Curl
osity. This pouch has a long neck
and valve which permitted only a
certain amount of powder to pass
from it's interior at one time
This idea has been utilized by re-
cent inventor in the construction of
a tobacco pouch which is more par
ticularly meant for the man who rolls
his own cigarette. This is quite the
common practice at present The or
dinary smoking tobacco is placed in
the center of one of the tiny sheets
of paper and given a twist between
the fingers. 1t is essential for the
success of the rolling operation that
the amount of tobacco should be al
ways about the same, and by the

man empire.
Nobody has taken pains to ascer-
tain the truth. The story was signed
by l.. Triang, which is the monde
plume of the correspondent of the Ber-
liner Tageblatt, a we'll known for
mer member of the German Reichstag.
He is the real author of the story. And
furthermore the German editors who
America was the land of the million
aires; that the country was said to be
in the hands of the millionaires, and
that the building of tunnels was one
of their principal engineering feats.
All these were facts and pitfalls
for the credulous editors, who did
not take into consideration the custom
of publishing fake stories on April the
first. The same papers once before
published a story about the invention
of a wonderful apparatus by which
all sorts of movements could be heard.
The growing of grass sounded like
the light reports Of cannon, and the
pulling in by water bugs of their feel
ers made a noise similar to the open
ing and closing of an umbrella. 1t
was not until the clever copyists had
been reminded that the invention was
made on April FOOLS day, that they
learned the publication had only been
a fake.
In geographical knowledge, not
much could be expected, and for this
reason it was easily believed that the
robber fleets vessels were Colombian
or Chilean cruisers, and were fitted

HOW TO STAY YOUNG.
Growing Old Largely Matter Of
lmanination

Growing Old Largely Matter Of
Imagination.
How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look,
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely habit of the
mind. "As man thinketh in his
heart so is he." If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep ones self from decreptitude
is somewhat matter of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both hands. He
who let's go will go. Death is slow
only to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the
wrong place for the fountain of youth.
1t is in ones self. One must keep
ones self young inside. So that while
"the outer man perisheth the inner
man is renewed day by day."
When the human mind ceases to
exert itself, when there is no longer
an active interest in the affairs Of
this life, when the human stops read
ing and thinking and doing, the man,
like a blasted tree, begins to die at
the top.
You are as old as you think you
are. Keep the harness on. Your job
is not done.-Milwaukee Journal.
