 Three years ago Dr. Alexander Graham Bell announced confidently that he had solved the problem of aerial flight by means of his tetra- hedron unit kite. With this in- vention he predicted the manufac- ture of machine of cheapness and reliability that would soon be as much in vogue as, the bicycle.

Perhaps he can do this, but it would surprise no one if his predictions failed along with those of other notable inventors whose imaginations have outrun their Judgements.

LAUGHTER.


There ought to be societies formed
in Grand Forks for the encourage
ment of laughter. A real laugh is
not common, for it must be remem-
bered that smoker is not a laugh.
Foreigners travelling in this country
have more than once commented up
on the singular gravity of Americans
as a race.
The Puritans were inclined to
frown upon laughter as frivolous, and
therefore wicked. Life was a very
grave affair to them, and an almost
constant struggle for existence, and
they had no time to make merry. The
first two centuries of our national
life were busy years. Privations were
many and the Indians almost con-
stantly on the war path. 1t is no
wonder our forefathers rarely enjoyed
a hearty laugh. Then came the re-
volution. which was certainly no
laughing matter.
Perhaps all these wars, troubles
and privations may have fixed CRAWL
ty in our national heart. Then it
may be that the idea was widely en-
tertained that it was undignified to
laugh. We knew that the eyes of
the world We're upon us, and it would
never do to act like children. Phil
osophers and cynics sheer at laugh>
ter Goldsmith (who was always
laughing) tells us of the loud laugh
that spoke the vacant mind" and the
scornful Byron says, And if l laugh
at any mortal thing, it's that may
not weep"
Many people are afraid to laugh,
because they think it is common; SO
they repress their merriment with a
smile.
They do wrong. Nature evidently
intended us to laugh, or children
would not know how. Laughter is
healthful and provocative of good
morals as we'll as good health.
Hamlet says that lone may smile,
and smile. and be a villain,". and so
one might: but no one could laugh
and laugh and be villain.
To smirk. grin, guffaw or smile is
not to laugh. A good, whole-souied,

bon dioxide was only slightly more
than is present in normal air and
was quite insufficient to have affect
ed the combustion of a candle.
Samples of the air taken from diff
ferent parts of the room contained
17.5 to 17.7 per cent of oxygen, or
from 80 to 3.4 per cent less than
is present in normal air. The oxy-
gen in the air in the shaft of the
we'll amounted to no more than SO
to S.9 per cent, and other expert
ments confirmed the conclusion that
the air in the storeroom was ortin-
airy air containing less than its prop
er proportion of oxygen owing to adj
mixture of air deprived of its oxy-
gen which issued from the we'll.
The source of the impoverished
air from the we'll was finally traced

A project was Launched in the Twin
Cities this week with considerable sue
cess which will appeal to a large num-
Der of college-bred Grand Forksers.
1t was the formation of university
club. open to the graduates of any and
all colleges in the country and main
tanning rooms or a clubhouse of Its
own on as pretentious scale as pos
sible.
The project was taken up with en-
thusiasm by the Twin City alumni, and
club will probably be organized In
both st. Paul and Minneapolis.
In Minneapolis are to be found sew
eral active and enthusiastic college
and university alumni associations,
and others might be formed, as there
is no lack of material, so representa-
lively is Minneapolis university town.
Dartmouth. Amherst. Yale. Harvard,
Princeton. University of Wisconsin.
Michigan. Pennsylvania, Columbia and
Minnesota, all have organizations there
and each will join in the university
club plan if approached, so the men,
bers of the committee have been led to
believe.
Suitable and accessible leased quar-
tiers are deemed sufficient for the start
of the club, and later it is expected to
develop move for distinctively uni
versity club building.
Grand Forks boasts of no small num-
Der of college-bred persons among her
population. There is every reason to
believe that a project like this could
be taken up here and receive most en-
thusiastic support from all concerned.
The three clubs, in Grand Forks, st.
Paul and Minneapolis, could exchange
courtesies, as the Twin City clubs are
planning to do, and college alumni
would be sure of warm welcome in
whatever of the three cities he should
find himself.
In Seattle there is a beautiful uni
versity club. Salt Lake has an ex-

When he had completed the build

what sort of a sign to put up to
attract attention to the new estatb-
lishment. Finally happy thought
struck him.
He bored an auger hole through
the door-post and stuck a Calls tail
into it with the tufted end outside.
After a while he saw solemn
faced man standing near the door
looking at the sign. The tame,
watched him a minute and then step
ped out and addressed him.

taking his eyes of the sign.

1t was recently noticed in a cold

began to burn with a feeble flame
as soon as they were brought into

it they were extinguished. A match
could be lit, but the wax would not
ignite.
In the corner of the storeroom was
disused we'll from which gas issued

Evidence in support of the correct
