Remarkable Fatal Telephone Accident

the desk with one of three connecting
wires broken, this being probably due
to the fall of the instrument
The room where Miss Greenwood was
killed was small one, used as Ii
brary and office apartment for Mr..
Greenwood, and was about six feet long
and eight feet wide.
Entering from the parlor a rolltop
desk with the cover up rested in the
farther left-hand corner, occupying
about four feet of the distance from
the left-hand siX-foot wall.
Over the desk about one-third of the
distance from it's left side hung a drop
incandescent light bulb with the usual
gutta percha button and brass guard.
Button Was Broken
There was a round button in the drop
wire, through the holes of which the
wire was drawn, this button being for
the purpose of regulating the height
of the light
When Miss Greenwood was found ly-
ing, on the floor the bulb was swinging
from side to side and one of the holes
in the button had been pulled out as

Considering the differences among

differences in the processes of forma-
ton, 1t is strange that the scientist
who undertakes to classify soils finds
an almost depressingly large list of the
varieties of dirt awaiting his disposi-
ton The ice alone has made mess
enough to keep the experts classifying
for a generation or two. Through the
northern part of the country, in very
recent times geologically, the creep
ing glaciers from the polar regions
scratched off the tops of the hills and
mountains and deposited on the outer
rim of their field of operation the
products of their incessant grinding,
boulders borne for hundreds of miles,
gravel hills higher than church
steeple, and immense scatterings of
the fine detritus known to geologists as
'loess." Again, everywhere through
the far west, mountains which are very
young as compared with those patri-
archs, the Appalachians, have already
begun to disintegrate and to fill valleys
and canyons with varieties of what look
to the layman like common and garden
dirt, but which are cherished by the
scientific men as peculiarly interesting
Not only the mechanical and mineral

posing the different soils must be
taken into account, but there are many
other factors. The study of climatology,
furthermore, is an essential part of soil
classification, because of the influence
of climate upon the character of the
soil; that is why the assistance of a
mathematical expert of the weather

cation as is being conducted under the
auspices Of the George Washington
university. You may have two dis

other respects. Yet the Industrial use

Such studies as Mr.. Coffey is making
illustrate perfectly the point that is
made in the campaign for a national
endowment of the George Washington
university that nowhere else in the
world are there such opportunities for
advanced research work along lines of
applied science as are offered in Wash
ington. The growth Of this single divi-
sion or department in the bureau of
soils in the last few years has given
scores of young scientific men a chance
to investigate subjects of which until
recently very little was known In sum-

HAPPINESS AND HIGH THINKING

Editor Glider, of the Century, muses.
suggestively on the happiness that men
derive from the possession of
panacea, especially of a political and
social panacea. He knows no happier
people than the extreme and visionary
socialists, the convinced single-taxers,
and above all. the philosophical anarch-
lists. These people are happy, Mr.. Glider
thinks, because they do not need to
bother themselves with the righting of
minor social wrongs, and because they
are conscious of certain superiority
and sure footing. They have a great
and sovereign remedy which some day
VIII cure every evil, and which 1t is
their high and noble duty to point out
to an ignorant and backward world.
And with the happiness of these ideal
lists Mr.. Glider contrasts the state of
mind of the modest average citizen of
public spirit who wishes to do his duty
but who finds himself limited to small,
modest, practical opportunities, who
has no magnificent vistas and cherish
ed illusions.
Mr.. Glider tells us at some length
what those in this latter class will do,
Among other things they will probably
go on establishing, and then, of course,
when necessary, reforming hospitals,
asylums, kindergartens, schools and
| colleges. Now, 1t Is possible to be Just
as happy in work of this kind as it is in
disseminating the radical ideas of the
possessors Of panaceas. The latter do
claim superiority over the practical
reformers, but to a monopoly of
happiness they have never laid claim.
The truth is the happiness that admit
tedly abides in reform has no measur-
able relation to it's degree of radicalism.
1t is the product of idealism, of devo-
ton to the greater things, of what
Emerson long ago called high thinking.
