Price of Health.

Natures price for health is regular
ity. We cannot safely bottle up sleep
tonight for tomorrow nights use, nor
force our stomachs at one meal be-
cause we expect to eat sparingly at the
next, nor become exhausted in work
ing day and night. expecting to make
it up later. Nature does nothing be-
fore Ter appointed time, and any at
tempt to hurry her invariably means
ultimate disaster. She takes note of
all our transactions, physical. mental
and moral, and places every item to
our C'edit. There is no such thing as
cheating nature. She may not present
her bill on the day we violate her law
but If We Overdraw our account at her
bank and give her Il mortgage on our
minds and bodies, she will surely fore
close. She may lend us all we want
to-day, but tomorrow, like Shyloc'-
she will demand the last ounce of
flesh. Nature does not excuse man
for weakness, incompetence or igno-
rance. She demands that he be a:

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
mondy, is reported to have made new
kind Of window glass whose chief Pc
culiarity is that it prevents the pass
age of ninetenths Of the heat of the
suns rays.
1t is well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as a stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof of a
hothouse.
II covered with Szigmondy's glass a
Shothouse would, it is claimed, become
cold house, since the heat could not
get into it. One advantage set forth
In favor OF the new glass is that a
