IMPROYING.

Connecticut used to have a rather
bad reputation as an easy-divorce
State, but she is improving. And
some facts which have just been made
public indicate that perhaps the rep
utation she once had was not wholly
merited. These facts cover more than
forty years. and they show that while
the proportion of divorce to marriages
from year to year has been marked by
fiuctuation and irregularity, the gen.
eral drift has been toward a decreasing
ratio.
This is encouraging. There is no
reason why loyal love and good sense
should not flourish in Connecticut. We
believe they do. OF course Connecti-
cut men are not quite all they should
be, and they are unworthy the love
Of Connecticut women, who are all
they should be. The fact that they
are saves the men, and by and by the
men will perhaps improve so that there
win not need to be any divorces here.
Then "the Land of Steady Habits will
be even more descriptive of our good
State than it is now.

large and successful engineering expert
ence in South America. says that a ca
nal at sea level is very simple propo-
sition in engineering, and involves
chiefly work and money. Even if it
cost more than a lock canal, he eonsid-
ers it better because it is simpler in
construction. far cheaper in operation.
and can't be put out of business by a
broken dam, an earthquake or mali
cious dynamite explosion. The tremen-
dous engineering problems involved in
building a lock canal are all that is
! giving trouble, and the cost will be ,lin-
certain and, in his opinion, greatly in
excess even of the sea level canal The
latter could be built, he thinks, in four
years, if divided up into, say, a hundred
contracts, involving chiefly plain exca-
walton, at which men ought to be at
work within a month. The worst part
of the job is not the Culebra cut,
through the ridge of high ground in the
middle of the isthmus, about which the
engineers are making such elaborate
calculations for locks dams, ETC., but
through the low, swampy land, extend
ing for miles inward from both coasts,
where the forests are almost impene-
trable and are the lairs of ferocious
mosquitoes which carry misery, disease
and death in their poisonous stings.
Here, he says, the loss of human life
will be enormous, in spite of the best
| care.
The evidence accumulates in favor Of
a sea level canal. Let's have the best.
We can afford it.

FLAT AS a FLoUNDER."

Something of the Life History of an
Interesting and Curious Fish.
The expression ''as fiat as a founder
has become, proverbial, but it does not
apply to very young founders, which
! differ so much from the adult ones that
they can hardly be recognized as be-
longing to the same family as their
parents. Most boys and girls are famiI-
lar with full-grown founders, but very
few of them, and few older people.
know anything about the appearance
of young founders and the wonderful
transformation they undergo. In spring
and summer it is possible for young
nature students to secure specimens Of
newly Matched founders by dragging
a fine mesh net on sunny days when
the water is smooth. Such specimens
may easily be kept alive in dishes of
salt water, and examined from time
to time with low-power microscope.
The founders begin life as do ordi-
nary fishes. When they first emerge
from the egg they swim vertically, with
the head turned upward. Their bodies
Oh Z oSiiIAiShilCdl anu THEIR eyes are on
opposite sides Of the head. Gradually
the position Of the body changes from
vertical to horizontal, and the fish re-
main thus for some time. swimming
like ordinary fishes, but while still very
small there is foreshadowing of the
bottom life they are destined for, and
they enter upon a series of remarkable
changes. The most striking of these
changes is in the position of the eyes.
The eye of one side or the other slowly
but steadily moves over to the opposite
side Of the head and takes place be-
side the other eye. In some founders
the eye moves around the front of the
head, in others it moves directly
through the head. This shifting Of the
eyes position is accompanied by a

L0YE AND DUTY.

Interesting things continue to hap
pen. For instance, the mayor of Bal
lard in the State of washington, James
E. zook, is being sued by Rosena
Grover, q years old, for $4,000 for
breach Of promise. Mayor Zook in his
answer, filed Immediately, says that
Miss Grover has consumption and for
that reason alone he will not wed her.
He declares that she still has his love
and sympathy. and that he has done
and will continue to do,if permitted, all
that he can to assist her He asserts
that he has already spent considerable
money in vain endeavors to irnproveher
health, including a trip to Arizona, and
that such efforts were unavailing.
When he became convinced the disease
was incurahle, the answer says, he
broke the engagement in duty to hu-
manity. .
Well, well, and also Um, Um! What
is love and what ought it to be? Does
Mr.. zook still love and sympathize
with Miss Grover, as he says he does?
If he does really love her would he feel
his duty to humanity SO keenly? And
what is Miss Growers place in human
ity 1t is q cold winter, but it's cold
ness can be somewhat mitigated by dis
cussing these and other questions
which this case suggests.

change in the position of the body,
which ceases to upright and becomes
more and more oblique. The side of
the body from which the eye is moving
gradually becomes inferior to the other,
until by the time the change Of the eye
is complete the fish swfn1s with its
blind side underneath, aind this posi-
ton is ever after maintained. The
founder then ceases its free swimming
habit and sinks to the bottom. ...
Some species OF founders are right
sided and others are left sided. In the
right sided forms the left eye moves
to the right side and the left side be-
comes undermost. In the left sided
species the opposite conditions prevail
1t rarely happens that right side spe-
cies have left sided individuals, and
vice versa. In a few species both right
sided and left sided fish occur in about
equal numbers.-St. Nicholas.

Even This Shall Pass Away.

Once in Persia reigned king,
Who, upon his signet ring,
'Grayed a maxim true, and wise,
Which, if held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance, s-~
Fit for every change or chance,
Solemn words and these were they:
Even this shall pass away"
Fighting on a furious field.
Once javelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with a loud lament.
Bore him bleeding to his tent;
Grooming from his wounded side,
Pain is hard to bear. he cried,
But with patience day by day,
Even this shall pass away"
In the reveIs. of his court.
At the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine.
Cried, 20, loving friends OF mine!
Pleasures come but not to. stay,
Even this shall pass away"
Tow'ring in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue carved in stone;
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his seulptured name,
Musing meekly, What is fame?
Fame IS but a slow decay.
Even this shall pass away" ~.
Struck with palsy sere and old,
Waiting at the gates of gold;
Said he, with his dying breath;

Then in answer to the king,
Fell sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by a heavenly ray,
EVEN this shall pass away" .s.. .l...

soME cHEEnisG INDICATIONS.

There has been an assertion made
that there are about seventy thousand
school children in New York who have
to go to school without breakfast be-
cause their parents are too poor to give
them breakfast. This assertion has
made not little stir, and an effort has
been made to give poor children break
fast if they need it. This effort has re-
suited in indications that the assertion
that there are seventy thousand chill
dren who must, by reason of poverty,
go breakfastless to school is a large ex-
aggeration. The Salvation Army has
established eight relief stations in vari-
Gus parts of Manhattan to provide free
breakfasts for school children. The
work has been under way now for near
ly week, and yesterday morning it
was stated by Brigadier Parker, who
has charge of the arrny's relief plans,
that not more than three hundred chill
dren had partaken of the organization
bounty on any single morning. 1.-THE
10000 seems to be an overestimate," he
said, land the fewer children we find in
need of aid the happier we will be. AL
though investigation of conditions was
made before we established our break
fast stations, think our soup has prov
ed to be the best investigator. We have
placed it out in readiness for any one
who desired it, and very few have come
forward. I have not returns from all of
our eight stations for to-day, but 1 feel
quite sure that not more than three
hundred children visited them this
morning for breakfast
1t is sad enough that there are any
children in New York who can't 60 well
fed to school, but it is a relief to dis
cover that there are not anywhere near
as many as there have been thought
and said to be.

MORE CANAL TALK,

It is about time for some definite talk
about our Panama canal, and some is
made. 1t is officially declared that if
the next six months show a progress
corresponding to that of the last six it
is the conviction of the best engineers
on the isthmus that a sea level canal
can be constructed in ten years and be
ready for large vessels by January l,
1915. 1t is further declared that there
is no ground for the current reports
that little has been accomplished in ad-
vaneing the construction of the canal
during the last six or eight months.

The Municipal Art league of Chicago
has just awarded blue ribbons to nine
landscape paintings by William A. Har-
per, negro. and ordered them hung in
the institute. Harper is the only negro
painter to achieve distinction among
American artists. He appeared at the
institute few years ago, penniless but
ambitious, and secured a hearing. He
showed signs of talent and was made
janitor, with privileges of using odd bits
Of canvas and discarded paints. When
he was not scrubbing the floors he was
studying the work of the painters. In
1900 he received a diploma. Then he
went to Texas, taught school, saved
every penny of his money and went
abroad. when he came back he had
the sketches Of the Eine paintings, and
has just completed them.
