Discomfort.


If you let the germ OF discomfort
into the home it becomes the prolific
parent Of all the sorrows. 1t turns
the whole household into a dismal
palace. 1t affects eyerybody's appe.
tite. and it reduces the capacity for
work Of every member of the family.
Now, there is one way to kill bad
germs. The doctors will tell you
that they will succumb to a food Of
sunlight. That, then, is the proper
remedy for the germ Of discomfort
when it begins to make trouble and
wrinkles in the sunlight Increase
the cbeerfulness. Regard the we'll
bang Of the world. Think Of the
good that people do. and of the good
you can do. Don't Gt down and
scowl and complain, but get up and
laugh and seek new duties and try TO
make others feel with you that the
way to find happiness is to keep it.
Even the poorest has much to be
thankful for.

sHEPHERDsTOWN, W. "a. THURSDAY,

Some birds are most desirable summer
residents of Northern States, but
when migrating greatly damage GER
tain crops in the Southern States.
Not so with the swallows. Their
beauty. their graceful fight, and their
sociability insure them a welcome
everywhere and endear them to every
lover of nature. Their esthetic value,
however, great as it is, is not so i'm
portant as their economic worth, 90
constant and effective is the warfare
they wage against the insect hosts
which, but for them and other avsin
benefactors, would render successful
agriculture impossible. Tothe South
ern States may safely beintrustsd the
duty Of protecting and augmenting in
every possible way the number of res
ident birds that prey upon the boil
weevil. But it is for the Northern
States TO aid the good work so far as
lies in their power. An enlightened
patriotism knows no State bound
aries. The insect enemy of the
farmer of either district is the enc my
of the common veal, and only from
cooperation can come a full measure
of success.

What Science Says Of Death.

What we call death is not annihila-
tion, it is only change Of energy.
Decay is simply the breaking up Of
life into new and more multiplied
forms of life.
The latest science recognizes at
least nine different forms of energy
into which single force may pass
and repass without diminution or loss.
That, of course, is the great discovery
of modern science, that energy may
be transformed from one form into
another, may be transferred from one
body into another, but cannot be de-
stroYed.
Not Immediately was the bearing
OF this scientific law on the doctrine
of immortality recognized. And yet /,
as the mind adjusted itself to the al
most protean forms of energy, it be-
came apparent that life itself, which is
the highest form OF energy we know,
must inevitably become subject to
this law.
Death. wien it touches human
life, is not destruction of energy it is
simply change through which life
passes into some new form of activity.
Your candle. for instance, burns
down to the socket, and after flicker
or two goes out. To the eye Of sense
that is the end of your candle, and it
has been used over and over again
as the image of death. But according
to the lsw of the conservation Of en-
ergy the light and heat of that candle
are not lost. They have passed into
other forms of energy more subtle but
not less real.
A log is slowly consumed upon the
hearth until nothing remains but
heap of flmY ash, but the light and
energies of that log are not lost. The
life which was in the tree deposited in
that log certain forces, and the fire
has liberated these forces in other
modes Of activity. The whole uni
verse is a vast area Of ceaseless inde-
structible energy, Of which life is the
highest type.
Within the last half-dozen years
science has emphasized still another
fact, namely, that the more powerful
force is the less visible it is to hu.
man sight, the less susceptible to rec
ogDition. The energy Of radium, for
example, is SO tremendous that the
hundredth part Of "a grain Of radium
dropped into its own weight Of water
will change the temperature of that
water from the freezing point to the
boiling point in single hour.
It is, of course, admitted that this
does not prove the Immortality Of the
individual soul by any means. but it
does prove the indestructibility Of life.
Religion has surely gained magni6-
cent trophy from science when science
tells her that life lie an indestructlble
element in the universe. North

In an attempt TO discover some uni
versal law of bird-Aight, scientists
have disclosed concerning number
of species a most puzzling paradox.
perhaps the most mysterious Of the
enigmas that the subject presents.
says Everybody. Itis that in mum.
Der oi birds and insects the size oi the
wings decreases in proportion to the
increase in the size Of the body of the
flying creatures. The Australian
crane. for instance, weighs over 500
times more than the sparrow, but in
proportion has only ons.seventh the
wing area Of the smaller bird.
This curious fact is equally STRIKING
if we compare birds with inssctA II
the gnst were increased in siss until
it was as large as the Australian
crane. and il the wings Of the isssots
were enlarged to maintain the pro-
portion they nov bear to iis -bodSr
they would be about $50 times larger
than the cranes
II requires 2 50 square feet Of wing
area per pound to float the bank
swallow, but 10 sustain the tswny vul.
ture, a mopsirous bird in comparison.
requires only .6s Of square foot Of
wing surface per pound Of the body.
The albatross, weighing eighteen
pounds, has a spread Of wings Of IL
feet and 6 inches, while the trumpe.
ter evan, weighing twenty. eight
pounds, has spread Of wings Of only
eight feet. The stork weighs hight
times more than the pigeon. but in
proportion has only halfas much wing
surface.
