Is Sunlight Injurious?

Major Charles E. Woodruff, surgeon
in the army, the most eminent living
student of effects of sunlight on white
men, and perhaps the only historical
scholar who has investigated thor
oughly the part which the complexion
has played in the drama of the rise
and fall of nations, said yesterday
that sunlight is increasing tuber-
culosis, insanity and suicide among
humanity.
"God's sunlight has credit for more
false merits than other of the many
superstitions to which men have fallen
victims," he declared. "We recognize
the fact that it kills bacteria, but we
ignorantly fail to reflect it has just as
fatal an effect on the protoplasm
which composes the human system.
Gods sunlight is producing neu-
rasthenia and cardiac feebleness and
anemia, is promoting tuberculosis and
increasing insanity and suicide every
day, not only in the tropics, but here
in New York.
" "'God's cloudiness,' wherever it is
found, the shade of the dark houses
and trees and awnings, is promoting
health, sanity and long life.
"Scandinavians are too far south
in Minnesota and are degenerating.
The Englishman could not maintain
himself in New England and already
has been replaced by the Frenchman.
It isn't a matter of heat at all, but Of
light"
Major Woodruff's thesis is, in brief,
that man, originally a dark-skinned
and hairy animal of the forest, a
denizen or cave-dweller of nocturnal
habits, afraid of the sun and injured
by it, survives as a creature into
which he has now evolved only by
virtue of the pigmentation of the skin
in proportion to the degree of light
to which he is exposed.

Doesn't Buy; He Sells.
Two business men met on Grand

Chow is your mine?" asked one.
Blooming. Great. Why, they
struck vein last week that runs right
through the middle of the Dom Paul
property. You know that is the
greatest paying mine in the district.
How are you getting along?''
"Better than we said We would, " re-
piled the first man. ''We have lust
struck a vein that will pay US SlS a
ton if we can get the machinery to
work it. It will mean a small outlay
of only S30,000,t and we expect to pay
dividends in two months.''
Just then a third man, baggy at the
knees and seedily dressed, ioined
them. E<
"How is that property of yours get
ting along? he was asked. I:
"Great, just great,' he answered.
"Why, received a telegram last night
saying that stock would go up Is per
cent on April Is. You see the prop
erty is right next the Jim Dandy and
we've got a good thing, and we know
it. I have put everything I have into
the proposition and it's going to be a
hummer. It will pay better than gold

A we'll dressed prosperous-looking
individual drove up to the curb in his
automobile and alighted.
"Hello, boys, ",he shouted, benef-
cent smile of prosperity and comfort
stealing over his face. "Got any
High Flyer?" he asked. "Stock crept
up four points to day. Great invest
ment, and now is the time to get in on
it,
''Are you buying?" one of the men
asked him. 49,.
"Buying? No. I'm not buying. You
see, don't buy stocks. I sell 'em. !"

English Pronunciation.

There is village in north Devon
which the SignpOsts call WOlfardiS-
worthy, but which we have heard pro-
nounced 'Woolserthy." Very likely,
however, if You went there and pro-
nounced it so You would be reproved
for the contraction.
This was what happened to us at
Cirencester. Passing through that town
we were SOlemnly corrected for calling
1t Chester On the other hand, when
wandering in Norfolk and drawing
nigh to place which was marked on
the map "Happisburgh," we found
ourselves quite unintelligible because
we did not pronounce it "Hazebro."
Even In English the difference be-
tween sight and sound is confined to
a small minority Of words, though
some people seem to be of the same
opinion as Il young Hanoverian lady of
our acquaintance who naively remark
ed: You English do pronounce SO
strangely. There is your great au-
thor. You spell him Dickens. and
you pronounce him Boz."-London

There was 4 time, remembered easily
by many when the tender husband did
not shrink from carrying home mate
rails for his dinner. Men of learning in
those simpler days graSped the eel Of
commerce, az the eel Of science, by the
tail. The statesman with Joyian brow
and blue coat with brass buttons was
very human with a dried Goldfish
wrapped carelessly in brown paper IN
der his eloquent arm. To see highly
respectable citizen with a demijohn
was a cheering sight Nor was it be-
meath the dignity OF a painful preacher
Of the word Of God to carry pair of
trousers to the tailor when the rent
was beyond the skill of domestic in
genuity.

Great Writers Not Correct Writers.

There is not single great author in
our literature in whose works numer-
Gus errors have not been pointed out
or thought to be pointed out. They are
charged with violating rules involving
the purity if not the permanence Of the
language. A somewhat depressing in
ference follows from the situation thus
revealed. The ability to write English
correctly does not belong to the great
masters Of our speech. 1t is limited to
the obscure men who have devoted
themselves to the task Of showing how
far these Wanted writer's have fallen
short Of the ideas Of linguistic propri-
ETY. entertained by their unrecognized
betterS. AS a result Of these critical
crusades there is 10 escape from the
dismal conclusion that the correct use
Of the language is not to be found In
the authors whom every one reads
with pleasure, but Is an accomplish
ment reserved exclusively for those
whom nobody can succeed IN reading
at all.-ProfessOr Thomas r. LOuns-
