CHOICE FOR ARTILLERYNIEN-The chief Of
artillery of the army has sent out notices to all
officers Of his corps inviting them TO express their
preference for service with the coast artillery or
the field artillery when there IS a permanent sep
aration Of The two branches Of the arm in June
OF 1908. AS far possible, the individual choice
OF officers will he observed IN making the perInS

the preferences win run. 1t is hardly to be eX-

them will prefer with the field artillery

Don't Know Riqht From Left.

"The thing that surprised me most
when l began to teach," said the in
structor Of class of adults in manual
training, "was the number of people
who cnn tell instinctively the right
hand from the left. Fully third of
my pupils hesitated a moment before
obeying instructions to do this thing or
that thing with the right hand or the
left The thing that fixes the proper
hand in their minds finally is some in
cident in which that hand has figured.
By recalling that story they know
which hand to use. One of the bright

one hand from the other is to remem-
Der the time when, as child, she tried

Speedy Coastinu.

The finest coasting hill in the world
is at st. Moritz, in Switzerland. The
hill is a mile long, and to coast down
it takes, on an average, sixty seven
seconds. The Cresta course, as 1t Ii
called, is iced and runs between snow
banks. Its turns are dangerous, and
only skilled coasters venture on it.
They use the American fiat toboggan,
lying on the stomach, and steering not
with the feet, but with lifts and jerks
of the body. A few seconds from the
start OH this course the coaster is 60
ing at speed Of twenty miles an hour.
This speed soon increases to forty
miles. Faster and faster he flies,
swooping down the precipitous Church
leap at the speed of an express train,
and then on to the long, straight Shut
tlecock run. To fifty, to sixty, to sew
enty, to eighty miles an hour the pace
grows till it is like the flight Of the
swiftest bird through n binding blur
of snow. Yet the speed still increases,
and at the end of the Shuttlecoc'l
eighty-seren miles an hour Is register
ed. These CreSta course speeds are
not problematical; they are the accu-
rate timings of an electric clock.

Dreams Wrought In Masonry.

Il remember reading poem once in
which certain types Of architecture
were referred to as dreams wrought
in masonry" says Waldo Pondray
Warren in Thoughts on Business"
This seemed mere poetry at first. but
as I think of 1t now it seems to be
the truth. Take that tall office build
Ing yonder, with lights cleaning from
every window, tier ON tier All that
was once the dream Of one man. Be
fore the first stone was laid, before
the architects plans were drawn, there
was a time when one man said to an
other, Let us put up great building
there And before that first audible
expression the building existed only as
an idea, a thought or, l might say,
dream In the mind of that man. He
walked it's corridors when it was still
dream. But now it is dream
wrought in masonry Every building,
bridge, railroad, steamship, machine,
book, organization or government In
the world-every one-was once an un-
expressed thought like that. Great
credit Is due those who first conceive
the IDEAS that underlie the worlds
work. The man who thinks of new
things for the development of your
business should be literally compen-

Why Tears Flow.

All human emotions, however slight
they may be, either decrease or in.
crease the circulation Of the blood.
Those emotions that bring tears cause
the blood vessels around the eyes to
expand, thus flooding the lachrymal OF
tear glands with blood. The tear
glands always secrete little to keep
the eyes cool and moist and carry off
specks of dust through the nasal pas
sages, but the extra supply of blood
increases this secretion to such an ex
tent that it cannot go off in the usual
way, SO OverfiOws.
