DEEP SEA CURRENTS

firmly fixed in velocity and direction
than if it were flowing to the sea be-
tween banks formed by the solid earth

discovered about four centuries ago it

 A. It is a representation of the He brew word Mitspah. beacon or watcht0wer, or any lofty place from which one can see far over the coun- try. Its use as posy of somewhat pIetistic character is based on mis- taken appreciation of it's occurrence in the forty-ninth verse of the thirty first chapter of Genesis: Therefore was the name of it called Galeed. and Mizpa; for he said, the Lord watch be- tween me and thee when we are absent one from another" The name Galeed, and its Syraic synonym Jegarsaha- dutha in a preceding verse; mean ''the heap of witnesses and have an appli- cation to the sentiment.

 With the dual desire of getting away from neighbors who annoy with piano playing and singing and of living life which he can fashion as he chooses, Oskar Eckstein, an instructor in chem ical research at the University of Chi- cago, has deserted the neighborhood of Midway Plaisance and now is living In . fisherman's. hut on the shore of Lake Michigan, where he prepares his own food, chooses his companions from the few fishermen that live near by and wears the greater part of the time Il simple bathing costume. says the Chi cago Tribune.
 Dislike for conventions of all kinds and a wish to be allowed to live his own existence in his own way-these are the influences which have led the scientist to leave his pleasant apart ments on Kimbark avenue for the lone ly hut beside the lake.
 Tt is practically an impossibllity for one living in a city to choose his own neighbors," said Dr. Eckstein recently. "One may get a congenial roommate. but he cannot regulate the people who live on all sides of him. Either the neIghbor on the floor above plays the violin or the neighbor in the dat below sings popular songs. When am alone feel that I am in good company. Where am living now there are DO persons except a few fishermen. They are congenial because they do not an noy me. have everything I need. I come and go as I please. and I never am bothered by other people. The first thing do In the morning is to take a plunge in the lake. do not mind the cold. Why. I began swimming this spring as early as March 1. It did not seem cold to me. I am fond of rowing also. and every Sunday row out to Hyde park crib. The air near the lake is clean and pure. unlike the dirty air in the city"

A MEATLESS DINNER.
woman'a Plan to Advance Vegetarian
 Ideas Before Doctors.

lucao ncfOTc
 Distinguished delegates to the first annual convention of the. National So ciety For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, who have been in ses- sion at Washington, were entertained recently at a dinner in some respects unique, says Washington special dis patch to the New York Herald. Mrs. John B. Henderson. wife of the former senator from Missouri. a society lead CT and author of The Aristocracy of Health" was the hostess. and the din ner was partly social in character and partly to illustrate the dietetic ideas Mrs. Henderson advocates.
 Many physicians hold that consump- ton is to be controlled only by an ab- soIutely sanitary mode of living. in which unlimited air and sunlight and an abundance of rich food are prime clements. Mrs. Henderson insists not only that meat is unnecessary as an article of diet. but that it is harmful and should he avoided as a food. 1t was to demonstrate this contention that the dinner was planned. and the guests were selected from those dele gates. known to hold the view that a vegetarian diet Is totally incapable of meeting the requirements of a system depleted by the ravages of tuberculo- sis.
 This was the menu at the dinner: Fruit Soup.
 Imitation Salmon. Sauce Holiandaise- Cucumbers. Unfernented Concord Grape Juice mixed with Apollinaris. Brolled Slices Pfnenut Protose. Nut Sauce
 Artichoke Cups and Asparagus- = Unfermented Catavbs Wine.
