Facts About Hailstones.

If Il was not for the countless tril'
lions of dust particles that float sep
arately. invisible in the atmosphere,
there could be no rain drops, snow
CRYSTALS or hailstones. From per-
fectly dustless atmosphere the mois-
tire would descend in ceaseles rain
without drops. The dust particles
serve as nuclei about which vapor
gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beauti-
ful creation of the aerial moisture, and
the hailstone is the most extraordin'
ary The heart of every hailstone is a
tiny speck of dust. Such a speck, with
a little moisture condensed about 1t,
is the germ from which may be
formed a hailstone capable of Telling
a man or smashing window. But
first it must be caught up by current
of air and carried to the level of the
lofty cirrus clouds. five or six, or even
ten, miles high. Then, continually
growing by fresh accession of mois'
ture, it begins its long plunge to the
earth. spinning through the cloud, and
flashing in the sun like diamond belt
shot from a railboW.-The SUNDAY

A se~.rer penalty than fine shout

Testing the streets to insult respect
able working girls Young women who
are compelled by the exigencies of
life to support themselves, and who
can choose neither the hour nor the
place at which they must be on the
public streets, should be especially
protected from the scoundrels who
hold that the fact a woman is COM
PEELED to earn her living is legitimate
cause for insult, says the Baltimore
American. If there is one class of
persons for whom the streets should
be safe. it is the young working girls

deserving OF sincere respect.

Forests and Waterways.

It is an absolute principle: No for
ests. no waterways. Without forests
regulating the distribution of water,
rainfalls are at once hurried to the
sea, hurried, alas, also across the
country. After devastating the neigh
boring fields, the rivers find them
selves again with little water and
much sand. Do you want to have
navigable rivers, or do you prefer to
have torrents that will destroy your
crops and never bear a boat? The
river Loire in France used to be one
of her best waterways; it is now the
river whose foundations are most de
structive. Special studies have been
made for the river Loire in particular
The parts of the country are being re
forested, that is necessary to make
the river as naygable as it was be
fore. The officials who have the care
of the canals have also the supervi
sion Of the rivers. Thus we are work
ing in order to turn to the best posi-
Bile use the natural resources of oul
country-those resources which the
rashness of the isolated individual
would often destroy if the government
did not interfere in the interest OF the
many.-M. Jusserand French ambas

Taking Care of Yourself.

There never was a time when peo
pie paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now,
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result Of properly balanced ra.
lions lbs worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man
kind.
1t has been found that Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten often end regularly
taking the place of heavy, greasy
foods will work wonders in the health
and strength of family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Scotch Oats thrive physically
and are always capable of the best
work at school. For athletes, laborers,
it is the best food. 10
For those who live in hot climates
the Theoretically sealed tins are best.

1t is not unlikely that commerce

MAID FOUND A FEW THINGS
AS a Result, Brooklyn Woman Came
Home to Make Few Remarks
to Hubby.

Irving Berlin, the author OF My
Wifes Gone to the Country" said at
a recent dinner in New York.
"a true happening was the inspira-
ton of this song.
'In July a Brooklyn woman set out
for Ocean Grove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, small af-
fair, was missing. She thought it
had probably dropped on the thick.
soft dining-room rug, so she wired to
the maid at home:
"Let me know if you find anything
on rug in dining-room.'
"a few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
Dear Madam; | was to let you
know if / found anything on the din

this morning: Three champagne corks,
is cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, Sc burnt matches and one

Using the census of 1900 as a basis
OF calculation, it is estimated that the
census of 1910 will show that the
school population of the United States
numbers probably 100000 persons.
The school army ten years ago was
1857 lat. OF that number 1926, POO
persons were between the ages OF five
and nine. and 6,453,394 ranged from
nine to fourteen years old About Is
per cent OF the whole number were
from fifteen to seventeen years of
age, and five per cent. were eighteen
or upward. OF all the children be-
tween the ages of five and nine re-
ported in the census of 1900 only
about one-half attended school; of
those ranging from nine to fourteen.
four-fifths attended, and Of those from
fifteen to seventeen a little more than
two-fifths. Upward of 80 per cent of
the entire number were white. A
school army of $4,000, 900 for 1910 will
be national asset worth having 1t
will constitute a more convincing dem
cnstration of the country's resources
and strength than an army of 100000
adults equipped with rifles and can,

CAREFUL DOCTOR

1t takes considerable courage for a

the dogs again fastened on their prey,
ard man, lion and dogs formed mad
heap. with the man getting decidedly
the worst of it. Indeed. matters might
have gone badly with him, had it not
been for Frost, who, watching MS
chance, dashed in and cut the Dig

thus putting an end to a very exciting
scrimmage.

there is nothing very extraordinary IL

when the country is at all difficult,

that the farther panther travels, the

probably because it tires less quickly
than dogs do, and is therefore less
out-classed at the end than at the be-
ginning of a run. But in any circum-
stances they are worthy antagonists,
and capable of giving six or seven
strong, hard-biting dogs lively set

METcHNIkoFF's MIRACLE.

Two years ago Prof. Metchnikon,
the director of the Pasteur institute In
Paris, promulgated his famous theory
that a diet of sour milk would check
the ravages of old age. Since then he
has made additional researches result
ing. we are told, in additional discov-
cries of inestimable value. In word,
the professor is now satisfied that he
has discovered the cause of death and
the means of retarding it, thus solving
the problem of longevity. While his
specific is still a secret, it is known
that he proceeds on the principle that
death is due to the formation OF putre-
factive bacteria in the large intestine
and that for this process a corrective
is within reach. The presumption is
that incubation is the method to be
pursued. When man reaches his prime.
instead OF being permitted to take the
downgrade. he will simply visit lab
oratory, receive a vitalizing injection
and remain, to all intents and pur.
poses, immortal. The promise so ex-
tended is so delightful that skepticism
seems invidious. Yet how many OF us
are there who, even on such impec-
cable authority as that of Prof. Metch.
nikoff, will nurse the golden dream of
physical Immortality? Both Christian
teaching and the teachings of Nature
herself point the other way.
