point, as the site will command a
view of the river and at the same
time give the patients the full benefit
of the breeze from the stream.
1t is understood that the project has
been approved by John D. Rockefeller,
who established the institute, and that
funds will be provided by him. The
institute was founded primarily for
investigation of cerebro-spinal men
nights, with the object of finding a
cure for that mysterious disease.
In many ways the hospital will be-
unique. Its patients will be those suf-
fering from obscure diseases. Both
grown people and children will be ad-
mitted. The objects of the hospital
will be, first to cure ailments which
have failed to respond to ordinary
treatment, and second, to afford ma
terial for observation by the scien-
lists at work in the institute.

Girls and THROWING,

The assertion that when girl
wishes to throw a stone or ball at
something in front of her she is more
likely to hit the object she aims at in
the opposite direction is a rather stale
joke. We have seen girls who could
throw quite as straight as boys. At
the same time there is a medical rea-
son why girls are more awkward
than the opposite sex at times when
throwing ball. The collar-bone in
the feminine anatomy is some inches
longer and set some inches lower down
than in the masculine frame. The
long, crooked, awkward bone inter-
feres with the full and free use of
the am, and thus prevents a straight
throw.

Walter Runciman, the new president of the
British board of education, who has just made
his appointment good by rewinning his seat in
parliament at Dewsbury, has anything but an
easy task ahead of him. His predecessor st the
post, the hard-hitting and aggressive McKenna,
who has been promoted to the admiralty, left
as heritage for his successor many enmities
and in successfully smoothing these over the
new minister will be earning his $4,000 year.

who kept her corset laced up to the last

a bicycle miles in ten minutes.
Right over yonder in the northwest

lowly bed where lies the mortal remains
of the young man who married an Irish

Outlook For Silver

Silver is low and the outlook for the
immediate future is not reassuring. In
the past India has absorbed an enormous
amount of silver but the demand from
that direction has decreased until at
present it is too small to be of import
ance. China likewise has discontinued
large purchases of the white metal and
as a result the market price is dis
couragingly low. Our own government
seems to have accumulated a sufficient
amount for all present needs, which
only adds to the unpleasantness of
the situation. Miners of silver
