Concerning Women.

There are four women who ought
to be brought to public notice while
they are still in active life, says The
Delineator. One ia the mother Of
the DIR. Osler, who, already cele.
brated physician, became famous by
reason of being credited with the
statement that man does not grow in
power after forty and that his use-
fulness ceases at sixty. Mrs. Osler
has just celebrated her, one.hun.
dredth birthday. She has reared
four very distinguished sons al 4 one
daughter, has twenty-six grandohil.
dren and one great.grandchild and is
still leading a useful apd oompara-
lively active life. Another is Mrs.
Mary e. Farrell, who has just ended
her one-hundred- -and- third year. She
has reared eleven children, has If
teen grandchildren and twelve great
grandchildren. She has never been
i'll day in her life, is still daily
worker about the house, active in
body and witty in mind. A third is
Mrs. Susan Askey, who on her one
hurdred-and-tirst birthday went to
church in an automobile, made an
address to the audience, and held a
reception in the evening. She also
has borne eleven children. The
fourth is Mrs. Franklin Cottle, who
at ninety-eight years of age went
through thrilling experiences at the
late San Francisco disaster, arrived
fresh and strong in New York a
week or two later, and now, as erect
as at twenty and as alert as at sixty,
she is about to start on two.hun-
dred-mile automobile ride from New
York to Boston.

Alcohol Safer Than GASOLINE.

The use Of denatured alcohol as a
fuel has yet to be fully developed. AL
though alcohol has only about half the
heating power Of kerosene or gasoline
gallon for gallon, yet 1t has many val
liable properties which may enable 1t
to compete successfully In spite Of Its
lower fuel value. In the first place, 1t
Is very much safer. Alcohol has a
tendency to simply heat the surround
ing vapors and produce currents Of
hot gases which are not usually
brought to high enough temperature to
infame articles at distance. 1t can
be easily diluted with water. and
when 1t Is diluted to more than one
half 1t ceases to be lnflammable; hence
1t may be readily extlnguished, while
burning gasoline. by floating on the
water, simply spreads its flame when
water Is applied to 1t.

A Rare Old Bird.
kansas City Journal. ]

Among the interesting assets
which Moran has to his credit is q
goose which has reached the mature
age of II years.
This oldest inhabitant of the fowl
tribe in Allen county is owned by
James Strong. Mr.. Strong has
owned it for many years and is
greatly attached to it, and does
everything to make its latter days
pleasant. There are, of course, rea.
sons other than those of sentiment
why this goose is safe from being
served up az table delicacy.
In 1871, when William Jones left
Iowa for Kansas, a friend gave him
a goose which was 35 years old at
the time. 1t was regarded az fairly
venerable bird then, but it stood the
hardship of pioneer life in Allen
county with no complaint. When
Newt Strong married niece of Mr..
Jones he gave them the goose.
Later they moved to Iowa and left
the goose with James Strong, who
still has it.

HOLDING POWER OF SPIKES
INHERENT Forms Tested In Various
Kinds of Wood.

Different Forms Tested In Various
Kinds of Wood.
The forest service Of the United
States department Of agriculture has
completed series Of tests to deter
mine the holding power OF different
forms of railroad spikes. The tests
were made on ordinary commercial ties
Of loblolly pine. oak. chestnut and oth-
er woods.
The spikes were Of four kinds-com.
mon driven spikes, a driven spike
which is about the same form as q
common spike with a lengthwise chan
mel on the side away from the rail-.
screw spikes Of the American type and
screw spikes similar to those In use on
the European railways. The common
spikes were driven to depth Of five
inches, and the screw spikes were In
serted after hole of thc anne diam
eter as the spike at the base Of the
thread had been bored. The average
force required to pull the common
spikes varied from 1000 pounds In
white oak to 5000 pounds in loblolly
pine and 5000 pounds in chestnut
The channel spike showed a slightly
larger holding power. The two forms
Of screw spikes were about equal In
their holding power, which ranged from
$4,000 pounds in white oak to 9,4OO
pounds In chestnut and TOO pounds In
loblolly pine. The decrease in holding
power Of common spikes In loblolly
pine In knots Is as great as Is per
cent.

birthday. The celebration of noted
mems birthdays is the best way to
impress history on the minds of the
children.
Friday afternoons should be de-
voted to the children's society. Every
school should have society to meet
every Friday afternoon. AT these
meetings there should be songs and
music. Invite the children's sisters
or brothers who play stringed instru-
ments to come and play. A graphic
phone which plays national and
standard music is fine for a school.
A piano or organ should be in every
school. No school should open with
out songs. The children should be
taught to read papers aud tell of cur.
rent events. Teach the children
how to conduct society. Let the
officers serve alternately, so each
child can some time be an officer.
The society will put new life in a
child, and the school will forwsrd

Varying Estimates of the Size of the

Hugo Munsterberg, professor Of psy-
chology at Harvard. university, In an
interesting article entitled Nothing
But the Truth" in McClure's. gives
the following account of an expert
ment with some of his students:
II asked my men to compare the size
Of the full moon to that of some object
held in the hand at arms length. 1
explained the question carefully, and
said that they were to describe an OBJ
ject just large enough, when seen at
arms length, to. cover the whole full
moon. My list Of answers begins as
follows: Quarter of dollar; fair sized
cantaloupe; at the horizon, large din
ner plate; overhead, dessert plate; my
watch; six inches in diameter; silver
dollar; hundred times as large as my
watch; mans head; fifty-cent piece;
nine inches in diameter; grapefruit;
carriage wheel; butter plate; orange;
ten feet; two inches; one-cent piece;
school room clock; pea; soup plate;
fountain pen; lemon pie; palm of the
hand; three feet in diameter; enough
to show, again, the overwhelming
manifoldness Of the impressions re-
ceived. To the surprise Of my read
ers, perhaps, it may be added at once
that the only man who was right was
the one who compared it to a pea. 1t
Is most probable that the results would
not have been different if I had asked
the question on a moonlight night with
the full moon overhead. The substi-
tuition Of the memory image for the
immediate perception can hardly have
impaired the correctness of the judg-
ments. If in any court the size OF
distant object were to be given by
witness, and one man declared 1t as
large as a pea and the second as large
as a lemon pie and the third ten feet
In diameter, it would hardly be fair TO
form an objective judgment till the
psychologist had found out what kind
Of a mind was producing that esti-
mate"

MAGNETIC VESSELS.
Experiments Carried Out During the
Construction of q. Steamship.

Experiments Carried Out During the
Construction of a. Steamship.
An interesting paper was recently
read on the Magnetic Character Of
Vessels" by Captain w. Bartling, I. n.
R., before the Northeast Coast Insti-
tuition of Engineers and Shipbuilders.
The first portion Of 1t dealt with some
experiments carried out during the
construction Of the steamship Thue-
ringen at the works Of the Weser
Shipbuilding company, Of Bremen,
says the Engineer. The first observa-
ton, which was taken ten weeks after
the double bottom was built and riv-
eted, showed the polaric power OF the
ship to be % per cent. A month
later, when more material had been
built in, the induction had advanced
to about "a per cent, and 80 on, until
when the vessel was ready for launch
ing she was a magnet OF considerable
power, having about 81 per cent of the
horizontal magnetic power Of the
earth. Then, when launched, the
vessel was swung into a position very
nearly diametrically opposite to that
in which It was built. The result was
that the magnetic power decreased
from day to day-considerably quick
er, it may be mentioned, than 1t had
grown-until, after twenty days, IT
was only Is per cent Of the earth's
power AS a consequence Of this, the
standard compass on the flying
bridge went to sea without compen-
sating magnet, and the steering COM
pass, which was also on the flying
bridge, only needed one compensating
magnet. It is interesting to compare
these results with those obtained with
sister vessel. When launched the
magnetic conditions Of the second
vessel were found to be practically
the same as those of the first. The
vessel, however, was not swung, and
her head during completion pointed
in exactly the same direction as dur
ing building. The magnetic power
continually increased, and finally
reached a value Of 6S per cent Of the
earth's power. Consequently, no less
than seven compensating magnets
were required in the compass, this,
Of course, impairing its efficiency.
