KICKED HIS LAMP AND
HAD NARROW ESCAPE

The Garden Island.-A COW kicked
and Chicago burned. A Jap stretched
his hind leg and Nawiliwili came near
going uo in flames.
The Jap in question had been imbib-
ing little more imitation Kentucky
juice than was absolutely necessary
Wednesday night and as a consequence
left the supporters of his equipoise
dangling outside the bed when he re-
tired It would have been all right and
no particular harm would have arisen
If the Japs didn't have the pernicious
habit of leaving lamps burning during
the night and of placing them down at
the foot of the bed AS mentioned
above this fellow got his extremities
in violent contact with the lamp and
if it hadn't been for Police Officer Ia
naka who happened to be up at the
suspiciously early hour of FIVE in the
morning, would undoubtedly have
burned both himself and Charles
house. AS it is, he escaped with life
but minus his mosquito net and the
greater part of his skin. A short time
in the hospital will restore him to his
former strength, if not to his senses.

Iioht of the Stars.

Various attempts have been made to
estimate the light Of stars. In the
northern hemisphere Argelander has
registered $4,000 stars down TO the
nine and one-half magnitude. with the
aid OF the best photometric data.
Agnes VI. Clerks System Of the Stars"
gives the sum of the light OF these
northern stars rs equivalent to 1.44O
of full moonlight, and the total light Of
all stars similarly enumerated in both
hemispheres to the number of about
100000 Is roughly placed at 1.1S0 Of
the lunar brightness. The scattered
light Of still fainter celestial bodies Is
difficult TO evaluate. BY photograph
lc method Sir William Abney in 1896
rated the total starlight Of both hem
ispheres as LOO Of full moonlight
and Professor Newcomb In 1901 from
visual observations Of diffused sky
radiance fixed the light power Of ell
stars at just 12S times that Of Capella,
or 1S9 Of the light Of the full moon.
1t is not certain, however, that the sky
would be totally dark If all stars were
blotted out Certain processes make
the upper atmosphere strongly lumi-
nous at times. and one never can be
sure that this light Is absent.

For the Future.

The secret OF happiness Is inward.
People had good times when there
were no friction matches, no brilliantly
Illuminated streets, no steamboats, or
railroads, no sewing machines, no
postage stamps, no comfortably heated
homes, no telegraphs or trolleys. The
elements Of happiness are not In things,
but In human nature itself. But the
fairer conditions, the greater OppOr-
tunities, which the marvellous modern
Inventions afford TO the masses OF our
humanity should augment our JOY and
expand our hopes. The most obvious
fact of human history is that of prog
ress. The race Is following q flying
and q growing ideal. 1t Is inspired and
saved by hope. Every helpful inven-
ton, every improvement Of sanitary
conditions, every new ray OF intellec-
tual and spiritual illumination. every
scientific achievement, every ameliora-
ton OF physical suffering, every new
avenue of enjoyment. every victory OF
righteousness, every faithful deed In
lowly and lofty places. increases the
splendor and the power OF our vision
OF the future.-LeSlie's Weekly.

Doc That Climbed a Tree.

Can a dog climb a tree? A corre-
sDondent writes: "While on a walk on
snowshoes in New Hampshire we
tracked a porcuplne to a balsam fir,
in which it had taken refuge. My
Scottish terrier climbed the tree, pull
ing herself up from branch to branch
to a height Of about seven feet, where
space Of bare trunk separated her
from the porcupine, which had watched
her progress with evident alarm. The
terrier made several Intellectual at
tempts to scale the smooth bark and
finally jumped down into the snow"
And Of another curious trait the same
writer continues: This little dog and
her mate, now dead. though enthusi-
astic fire worshipers at home, never sat
near the bOnfres built at luncheon or
tea time on winter walks, but dug
holes in the snow at little distance,
In which they curled themselves up
after the manner Of their primitive an
cestors. s."-Chicago News.

Her Valentine.

4 young woman wrote about the
year 17J0: The night before St Valen'
tines day l got five bay leaves and
pinned four Of them TO the four cor
ners Of my pillow and the fifth to the
middle. And then II | dreamed OF my
sweetheart Betty said we would be
married before the year was out. But
to make more sure l boiled an egg
hard and took out the yolk and filled II
with salt and when | went TO bed ate
1t. shell and all. without speaking or
drinking after 1t. We also wrote our
lovers names upon bits Of paper and
rolled them up in clay and put them
into water. and the first that rose up
was to be our valentine. Mr.. Blossom

eyes all the morning till he came to
our house, for would not have seen
another man before him for all the

Processes Which DEFY Analysis.

think that the more thoroughly and
conscientlously we endeavor to study
biological problems the more we are
convinced that even those processes
which we have already regarded as ex-
plcable both by chemical and physical
laws are In reality infinitely more COM
plex and at present defy any attempts
at q mechanical explanation. Thus we
have been satisfied TO account for the
absorption OF food from the alimentary
canal by the laws Of diffusion and
osmoss. But we now know that, as re-
CARDS osmosls, the wall OF the intestine
does not behave like a dead membrane.
We know that the intestinal wall Is
covered with epithelium and that every
epithelal cell is in itself an organism,
living being with the most complex
functions. We know that Ii takes up
food by the active contractions OF Its
protoplasm in the same way as OBJ
served in independent naked animal
cells.-A. Bunge.

Strenuous Chivalrv

1t Is complained that modern condi-
tions are killing 1.-The chivalry Of the
middle ages" But medieval tales
and romances show what that chivalry
really was. Wife beating was a COM
mon incident on the part Of those
knights and gentlemen whose gallantry
was a mere convention. The Cheyalier
de la Tour-Landry in his book Of coun-
sells to his daughters tells them the
story Of q woman who used to contra
diet her husband in public. One day,
after expostulatlng in vain, he knock
ed her down, then kicked her face and
broke her nose. "And So" comments
the good chevaller. she was disfig-
ured for life, and thus. through her Ill
behavior and bad temper, she had her
nose spoiled. which was a great mis-
fortune to her." But not word is said
about the husbands brutality.

Beats Radium For Cost.

II you object to paper money, but
wish to carry big values I'm small COM
pass. you might do worse than lay In
n stock OF best lenses for microscopes.
Weight for weight, gold Is not nearly
so valuable as glass in the form OF
powerful lenses, and an ordinary purse
filed with such lenses might easily
represent a fortune. The record In
crease In the value Of the manufac-
tured article over the raw material Is
probably made by this variety Of glass,
which multiplies itself 100000 times.
The front lens Of micro objective In
strument costing about fl weighs no
more than about .0017 Of a gram;
hence the value OF such lenses to the
weight of about two and a quarter
pounds would be about 100000. The
cost OF making this weight Of glass Is
~ pence to 3 pence, and thus when
worked up into the shape Of lens the
glass has increased In value about 50,-
100000 times.-London Express.

Pronunciation of Theatre"

If theatre" was originally written
"theater" in English, has its pronunci-
alton also varied among the orthodox
that Is to say, was there ever time
when correct speakers said "theayter,"
as many Of the incorrect still do?
There is no direct evidence in verse OF
a serious kind for such pronunciation
so far as we know. Shakespeare GER
tainly pronounced the word rs we do
now, says London journal. But since
"theayter" does really represent a long
"a" Of the original Greek and Latin II
is not easy TO understand how the vul-
gar could have blundered on to 1t Of
their own accord. 1t would have been
more comprehensive If they had turned
an orthodox "theayter' into ''theater,"
Just as the second "a" In "Amasls"
goes too often popularity shortened now.
The French language has had to mark
the length OF the IA" in theatre" by
giving it a rather irregular circumfex
accent

Crjuin Of Curtain Calls.

The first curtain call took place on
the evening Of Feb. 26, 1143. On that
memorable evening YOltalre's "Me-
rope was performed for the first time
in Paris. The author was known to the
Paris public. but nothing that they had
seen of his had pleased them so much
us "Merope," and the enthusiasm found
expression In noisy demands to see the
author. In letter VOltaire says this
Of the incident: They dragged me out
and led me by force to the box occu-
pied by the Duchcsse de Nlllars and
her daughter-in-law. The whole thea
ter seemed to have gone mad-all
shouted to the duchcsse to kiss me.
The noise became so great that the
lady finally obeyed. So / was, like
Alain Charter, publicly kissed, but he
was asleep, while was wide awake" ;"
Now authors answer similar calls by
appearing before the curtain. They
gain in so far that they can be seen
better by their audience, but they must
dispense with the duchesse's kiss-at
least in public.-Berliner Tageblatt.

KNIVES Ara Iinx SaWa.

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws. The grind
ing away of the steel, done by the
stone, is not an even work, but when
the edge gets thin Is process of tear
ng away tiny bits Of steel by the grit
If the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth, a
coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife used on meat is sharpened on n
coarse stone or a steel and has coarse
teeth, although its edge Is thick. Its
action in parting the meat Is more that
Of q saw than fine wedge. No matter
how soft II may be it will not cut
easily unless IL is drawn over the meat
and not simply pressed down. A razor,
however, with its paperlike edge, will
cut into flesh with simple pressure.
