TOO LITTLE READING.

According to our observation, says
the Century. there is vastly too little
reading done, rather than too much;
and we think it fortunate that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's example has been set
forth as an illustration of what can be
accomplished, in the most occupied of
lives, TO broaden the intellectual out
look. His example will serve every
where as stimulus. And the slow
reader should not be discouraged, but
encouraged rather, for If he really
has the disposition to read, the
years end. under whatever difficulties,
will give him, also, a list of readings
accomplished which will shame the in
different and vastly increase his own
intellectual wealth Reading for the
relief of troubled thoughts, as a mere
sedative, is immeasurably valuable, as
many an overwrought brain has found,
and so is reading for the highest forms
of pleasure, for healthy enjoyment as
we'll as for desired information, for
new outlooks, for the broadening of
sympathies and the correction of mar
row views, for culture-above all, for
inspiration.

BACHELOR GIRLS OF
THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY.

AS far as appearance goes, the bach
elor girl who prevails at the present
time would deiude the unwary into
thinking that she was of the old school.
says a writer In the London Telegraph.
She shuns eccentricities Of dress, the
unbecoming masculine lines at the one
extreme, as carefully as the rough-pot
and high heels at the other. Her
clothes are only a little simpler than
those of her sister in society. She does
not swear or smoke cigars-although
she reserves the right to do SO If she
wishes Her manners are simple and
direct.
The social settlements have been a
boon to girls of this class. They form
stepping-stones between college and
Bohemia. Allied to this sort of inter-
est are other movements, in which
bachelor girls of sentiment and educa-
ton may become twentieth-century
ministering angels. One of these is
the great system of organizing chari-
ties employing tens of thousands Of
trained nurses and third the promo
ters of economics and municipal re-
forms
Literary and artistic bachelor girls
writer's. sculptors, illustrators, paint
ers and the iike-also hold their devo-
tion to ideals responsible for their
manner of living. They are found in
places as closely resembling those of
the Paris Latin Quarter as brand-new
America can furnish.
Similarly, women doctors, lawyers
and architects and all sorts of pro-
,fessionals do their work as their
brothers DO, asking no favers and
planning independent lives in estab-
lishments of their own.

NAVIGATING THE AIR.

thereby decrease the resistance of the
water, and consequently there would
be greater speed attained with the
same expenditure of power. AS the
speed increased the holding power of
the aeroplanes on the atmosphere
would become greater, and, in conse-
quence, further elevation of the boat
and a lessening of the resistance of
the water. Should the boat be lifted
almost out of the water, or, indeed,
actually clear of it. the experimenter
would have the only feasible method
Of studying how to control his aero
planes.
Assuming that the true keel of the
boat rose above the surface of the
water. the propeller would still be five
feet below it, and by lessening the up
ward inclination of the aeroplanes the
engineer could easily immerse his real
keel to any desired extent. A little
practice at this would enable him to
sink his craft to the gunwales, or float
in on top of the water at will. Having
achieved that much he could make
more actual discoveries in week than
all the mathematician could deduce
in a decade.
That the aeropiane as the true prin-
ciple underlying the problem of aerial
flight has long been accepted is known
to everybody who reads of the scien-
lists and their work. but the successful
application of the wellknown prin-
ciple remains for man of the future.
