leaving all the rest buried in then
work. "What are you going to do"
asked Couture roughly. The student
showed his hands, which had some
paint on them, and replied that he was
going to wash them. Couture dabbed
his Inunib in some paint on the palette
of the nearest student and made q

You'd better wash your face, too
he said. The face washing was the
last act of the students when they had
finished their work for the day. The
dainty pupil took the hint to heart

without visiting the tub. If he had
not done so he would never have en-

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once in each t~wenty-four hours,
bat few, however, have any idea of the
high rate of speed ut which such an i'm
mense bail must turn in order to ac-
complish the feat of making n reVo-
luton in Il day and n night. A graphic
idea of the terrific pace which the old
earth keeps UP year after year may be
had by comparing its speed to that Of
q canuon bail fired from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity ever
attained by such a missile has been es-
tinatod at 1,G2G feet per second, which
IS equal Il 4 mile in 32-10 seconds.
The earth in making one complete
revolution in the short space of TWEEN
ty-foUr hours must turn with a velocity
almost exactly equal to that Of the
cannon ball. In short, its rate of speed
at the equator is exactly 1907 feet per
second. This is equal to II miles Il
minute.

Hidden hx Their CnIors,

To understand the value of what sci
entific men call protective coloration in
animals one need only look at the COM
mon ruffed grouse, or partridge, of
North America and consider how hard
1t is to see him in the woods, even
where nothing interveneS to hide him
from view. His colors agree SO we'll
with the background against which he
stands that the eye is slow to make
him out. Mr.. Gregory, in his volume
of African travel, The Great Rift Val
ley" mentions several striking in
stances of animals thus protected,
among which that of Il certain monkey,
Colobus credentials, is perhaps the
most peculiar. This monkey is cover
ed with a long, silky fur, arranged i'll
alternate stripes of black and white,
SO handsome that the skin is much
priced by the natives for making head
ornaments. The contrast of black and
white Is so marked that at first sight
1t would seem to preclude concealment,
but its value is at once evident when
the animal is seen at home. 1t lives
in high forests, where the trees have
black trunks and branches, draped
with long gray masses of beard moss
or lichen. As the monkeys hang from
the branches they resemble the lichen
so closely that Mr.. Gregory found it
impossible to recognize them, even at a
short distance

The eastern tale is generally a COM
pound OF that humor simplicity and
imagination that we associate, rightly
or wrongly. with the Irishman, just be-
cause Ireland is the nearest country to

GOefhC'S OrientaIisrn.

Respecting Goethe's ideas of women
much has been said, and mostly in
Pharisaic strains. When suggest that
some light may perhaps be thrown
on it by his orientalism, let it not be
said with Il sncer, Precisely, because
woman is held in low esteem in the
east" l answer, BY no means; wo-
man is not held in low esteem either i'll
the east or il Goethe's scheme of life"
In Moslem hagiology there are four
perfect women, but no perfect man.
In Goethe's Faust the stormy destiny
Of humanity revolves round the pivot
of Margaret, Helen, Woman. Would
you describe the creator of DOrothea
the simple. Dorothea the charming,
Dorothea the self possessed, Dorothea
the unselfish, the modest, the true
in a word. DOrOthea the womanly-as
having low idea of woman? The fact
is, Goethe was, like a true artist, ever
seeking an equilibrium i'll his ideals Of
love and woman and never attained
it. There is something satisfying
in his realiZable picture Of the
simple though noble and virtuous
Dorothea, but there is Il more ethereal,
a more elusive tigure-one more akin
in power and grasp to the goddesses
Of heaven-attempted in the SearchingS

When Webster Was Wrong


1t is easy for even a good man to he
mistaken.
Daniel Webster was Il good man. Yet
Daniel was positive that 4 steam rail
road could never be made 10 work
He was quite willing to concede that
a locomotive might be able to skate
along al q pretty good clip while at
tached to Il string of cars running on
iron or wooden rails.
But having admitted this much, he
arose to call attention to an inSur-
mountable obstacle to the further sue
cess of the undertaking. He said the
train, once under way, could not be
stopped-that it would keep right on
going and ultimately crash into some
thing and kill everybody aboard
Thus we see that even with the best
intentions it is easy to make mistakes
Daniel Webster didn't own canal
boat stock, nor was he for any other
selfish reason DESTROYS that railroads
should not come into existence. He
simply was expressing an opinion
about something he had never seen in
operation. And unfortunately for his
reputation as railway expert he saw
things that weren't there. - Detroit
