If KNOCKING PAID.
knocking paid. how easily

II knocking paid, how easily
We might win freedom from our cares
The problems that are hard for me
Would soon be trivial affairs.
I'd live in luxury and own
An auto of the highest grade;
With all my troubles overthrown
I'd shout for joy, If knocking paid.
OF all the things that people do
l trow the easiest by far
Is finding that the worlds askew,
And knocking at the things that are.
The lazy man who turns his gaze
A thousand times upon the clock,
And dawdles meanly through the days,
Is never too inert to knock.
The one who labors all day long
With brawny arms and all his might
Finds that so very much is wrong
And, oh. SO little that is right!
If knocking paid his wife would wear
Fine gems upon her soft white hands,
And there would be a palace where
His poor, unpainted cottage stands.
Alas that what is must be so,
That all things are not otherwfsei
This world is but vale of woe,
Where man must languish till he dies.
The easy things are not the kind
That cause the cares we bear to fade.
l do not doubt that we should find
1t hard to knock If knocking paid.

VICTIMS OF THE ELEMENTS

An Eastern newspaper has compiled an inter
esting table of figures which shows the number OF
persons killed in cities of the Atlantic Coast and
the Middle West by the elements No account
is taken of deaths by drowning result of ship
wreck; only fatalities caused by heat prostration
cyclones and lightning Whether these figures are
accurate is hard to determine, there no
official statistics enumerating the mortality that
comes under the three captions. There is, how
ever sufficient evidence in the columns OF the
daily press to show that the averages cannot be
very far from wrong.
In New York it is said that on an average
twenty persons day killed by sunstroke dur
ing the summer months. Fifty day pros
trated, and of these many permanently disabled
or subsequently die of the shock Philadelphia is
not far behind New York, with an average of sew
enteen persons day dead and forty disabled.
In Washington, D. c., heat kills six per day and
dlsables ten more In Chicago it kills eleven and
disables thirty In New York State, during the
thunderstorm season, five people day are struck
by lightning. Virginia averages seven, Maryland
three, Iowa FIVE and Illinois four.
Cyclone statistics pile up the figures little
higher, for in Kansas for five years the deaths in
cyclones have averaged twenty-seven per day dur
ing three months of the year Texas records
fifteen and Nebraska twenty-five.
Extraordinary electrical and atmospheric mani
festations have undoubtedly swelled the averages
and it would hardly be fair to state that every
day of the trying Eastern summer season score
or less deaths in this that section.
For example, the deaths by cyclones in Nebraska
are said to have been brought about by but three
cyclonic storms. The same explanation might be
made to the deaths by heat prostrations in New
York. 1t all goes to show that no matter what
part of the United States may be in he is
safe from the "acts of Cod Fate, to certain
extent, shapes destiny, but nature seems to use
wonderful skill in averaging up earthly conditions
California has not in decades suffered from the
Clements and death list from heat cyclones
and lightning is blank. In the circumstances the
San Francisco earthquake OF April IS, during
which about four hundred and fifty persons lost
tteir lives, not appalling after all.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

F,e- one who is not a member of the relief COM
,7ittee that is composed of hve-hundred-dolar- "a
month officials seems to be capable Of making sug-
pestions as to the disposition OF the relief funds
Figuring out fat salaries for political hangers-on
and the matter of keeping the refugees hungry
so that they will enjoy their meals when they get
them appear to be the all-important business be-
fore the relief board.
Davs have passed since the relief commission
was appointed When Colonel Pippy, Edward
Moran and Dr. Devine were named commits
sioners the public was inclined to give these gen
tlemen the benefit of fair trial. although eighteen
Observation-Disclosures experiments are rather III
timed when the money for them must come from
fund subscribed for the purpose of furnishing food
and clothing for the needy.
Nothing has been accomplished beyond the as
signing of Jobs to friends of the municipal admin
istraton and of the persons who cut the political
garments for the Pippys and the Morans There
does not seem to be any end to the string of pre-
Ininarv expense accounts, and the million dollars
year for maintaining the army of voucher-cashers
may become two millions if stop is not put to
the campaign OF waste and red tape
ANY level-headed business is capable of de-
terrnining within twenty-four hours just how to
distribute the relief fund and provide camps and
hospitals for the refugees. The act of starting a
mercantile house is far more difficult than the
handling of this relief situation. Suppose every
man who wanted to begin business had to call in
200 or 300 persons to help him decide how to
put in his stock: it is obvious that he would be
bankrupt before he had paid his first months rent.
L is precisely so with the relief commission, only
the waste of time and cash is felt by thousands
who are in the direst straits instead of by
Dy selecting a head for the relief bureau who has
had some experience in practical business methods,
and allowing him corps of competent clerks, the
relief fund problem would be solved without re-
sort to red tape. The simple system employed by
the commssary and quartermaster departments
OF the army could be applied to an advantage.
An advisory board of business men, who would
willingly give the head of the relief department
the benefit Of their advice, could be appointed,
This board could meet once a week to examine the
accounts of the relief department and make sug-
gestions as to the management of the general fund
Automobiles watchmen, private telephone lines,
2 secretary for every who draws big salary
and doesn't work, hack hire and boat rides seem
10 be the order OF things with the newly appointed
commission. When the refugees to see the
color of the subscription money the relief it is TO
buy for them no one knows. If the work of pre-
pairing to provide for the sufferers is such a ire
lnendous task, when the commission is actually
ready to give out the remainder of the fund to the
people for whom It subscribed New San Fran
cisco will have been built and there will be no refu-
gees to relieve.

as the radiation of heat from the
earth. the stratum of air lying near
the surface of the earth in any local
ity is rendered less dense than the
stratum above it. In this case rays of
light from a distant object situated in
the denser medium-that is, a little

the rarer surface at very obtuSe
