Luminous Centipeds.

Lizard. snake and natural electric

the luminous centiped, one Of the most
interesting creatures in nature 1t is
about one and q quarter inches long
and covered with short hairs. It's body
is very narrow and appears to be In

move sidewise except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant

instantaneous wavelike motion, begin.

changes from orange to a greenish

with a tiny streak Of green light, the
creature darts away to place Of ref.

Of Its mate. the color grows bright
yellow, but at will the centiped can re-
sumo its darker color, and then. If ly'

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value of Laughter a. an AID t.

TIE Value of Laughter a. an AID t.
Digestion.
Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time In the home. There Is
a vital connection between amiability
and Observation-Disclosures good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy. Numer-
GUS experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
ton Of the gastric juices and are pow
erful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing
this, many Of us sit as gloomy and alb
sorbed at the table as at funeral
In many homes scarcely a word is
spoken at meals outside of requests for
an article Of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying a mere animal
function. The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for a good time generally, when
all cares should be thrown Off and ev,
erybody appear at his best. 1t ought
to signalize the time for mirth and
laughter. 1t ought to be looked for
ward to by the members of the fami.

forward to by pupils in school as a let

A strange chronological history is
that possessed by the word "canteen"
which has caused so much talk in
temperance and army circles-if its orr
gin Is correctly assigned to the old
Latin "quintana," which literally means
"of the fifth rank" or fifth In order"
The "quintana (via)" was a street In
the Roman camp SO called because 1t
came between the fifth maniple or
company, and the sixth. Here all the
business and marketing Of the camp
were DONE and "quintana" eventually
came to mean O market. = Chicago

PEARY TO GO NORTH SOON.
Tc Depart in Ten Days on Final At
tempt to Reach Pole

PHILADELPHIA, July 2j.--Commandar
Robert Z. Peary will depart from New
York within the next ten days on his fifth
and final attempt to reach the north pole.
He will sail in the Roosevelt. This time he
is armed with knowledge of the currents
around the pole. and he means to make use
of it.
Immense interest is felt in scientific cir
cleS here In Pearys new expedition the
more especially because of the active part
taken by the Geographical Society of Phila-
delphia in the investigation of the currents
OF the polar ocean. The local society took
the lead in placing drift casks in arctic
| waters to determine the general direction of
the ice movement.
Peary's latest observations of the cur
rents north of Grant Land fully coincide
with the record of the only two drift casks
launched by the Philadelphia Geogra phical
Society which reached known destination,
and his new voyage has been planned with
reference TO these data Instead of start
ing on his Sledge journey from the vicinity
of Cape Hecla. he will set out from a
point great deal farther west. although
still probably on the shore of Grant Land.
1t is now considered established by au
thoritieS upon the arctic that the general
drift of the ice north of Grant Land Is
steadily eastward in exact opposition to
the theory that was acted upon by Nansen.
The first cask set adrift by the Philadel-
phia Geographical Society found its way
from Bering strait directly across the arc
tic circle. passing presumably very near
to the pole and went ashore in Kolyuchan
bay Siberia. The second one which has
been heard from drifted from Bering strait
to point one mile east of Cape Rauda
Nupr. on the north coast of Iceland. taking
approximately the same route as the for
| mer, although describing a much greater
curve in it's later stage, where it entered
the North Atlantic.
Between $4,000 and 100000 was needed
by Peary to equip his expedition. and Of
this the Philadelphia Geographical Society
undertook to raise a considerable proper
ton, and the American Geographical So
ciety of New York. the National Geographic
Society of Washington and several other
kindred bodies contributed.

SENATOR CRANE SUPPORTS KNOX
Massachusetts, Senators Have Different
Presidential Preferences

BOSTON, July 26,-There is apparently
real friction between Winthrop M. Crane,
the junior senator from Massachusetts.
and the administration at Washington,
represented in New England by the Presi-
dents personal friend. Senator Lodge Two
recent events add color to this assertion
One is the announcement that Senator
Crane will have charge of the Knox presi-
Dental boom in New England; the other
is the senator's refusal to accept the chair
manship of the committee resolutions,
which will draft the platform for the COM
ing republican state convention. Cranes
decision to so far possible hold aloof
from the convention is explained by the
fact that it is dominated by Senator Lodge,
who will drive it in whatever direction he
wishes to serve the ends of the preSi-
Dental national candidate.
1t is understood here that Senator Crane
is opposed not only to the candidacy of
Secretary Taft but of Gov. Hughes of
New York. Knox is a candidate after his
