TOO RATTLED TO USE SENSE
Simple ExpedIent for Relief of Boy Had to Be Suggested
 to the Mother.

While playing soldier Brooklyn youngster placed brown earthen- ware jar, such as is used in baking beans, on his head for helmet, then found, to his modification and hor- TOT, that he could not remove 1t. Even more mortified and more terri fled was his mother, who in despera- tion, hurried the sobbing little sol- dier out of the house and boarded . car, bent on taking him to physi- clan. The child could not even wipe his tear-filled eyes, for the rim of the jar rested on the bridge of his nose. Flushing furiously his moth- CT tried to appear unconcerned in the face of the staring passengers, but finally one woman grew so curi- ous that she asked:
 "Why does your little boy wear a bean pot?'
 Because he cannot get it off," re- piled the mother, stiffly.
 Why don't you break it with hammer?" someone suggested.
 This proved to be happy thought and as there was no hammer avail able the motorman was called to the rescue. He broke the jar with his controller. The little boy gulped with relief and his mother took him home.

HEAT AND COLD IN WAVES
Prof. Bigeiow Explains Reason for Sudden Changes in the Tenn
 perature.

An unusually hot day in summer or a mild one in winter in the Uni ted States is due, not to an increased amount of heat received directly from the sun but to the transporta- tion of heated air from warmer re- zion. The same is true of the so-. called "cold wave" This is brought out clearly in a recent investigation by Prof. Bigelow of the United States naval observatory. An in- crease in solar radiation will add to the heat of the tropics, but owing to the fact that it causes an inflow of cold air from the poles it decreases the temperature in middle attitudes. All this is specially true of countries spreading over wide continental areas, as the United States does. In an investigation of the weather rec ords of the whole country Prof. Bige- low finds that the Pacific states form really part of the tropical system, in which the atmosphere is generally quiet, being free from the great cir cular storms characteristic of the rest of the continent. Thus the eternal summer of southern Califor- mia is due to the fact that just here the tropics thrust up a calm area into the more turbulent region mis- called the temperate" zone.

LIVELY FOR A LIVELIHOOD.

The melancholy beauty in widows weeds who abruptly bursts into song and in no bad voice-is stirred thereunto less by the inspiration of music than by the impulse of the weekly pay envelope. Even the de- mure young person who smiles de- precatingly from across the way, and, upon the encouragement of a lifted eyebrow, comes over to your table to cadge for champagne-she's paid to do it, too. All very lively on the surface; but they are lively, not for the sake of liveliness, but of live ihood.-Collier's Weekly.
