DURABLE INK.
Tho Secret of Its Manufacture Seems

Tho Secret of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.
The ink manufacturer has made
great strides in his field. He has pro-
duced many colored fluids that seem
well adapted to ordinary use. But
how long will this ink last without
fading?
Did you ever pick up a letter writ
ten ten or fifteen years ago and note
how much of it is illegible because the
ink has faded? Some precious docu-
ments not century old are preserved
today in air tight cases, so that the ink
will not fade any more. Others have
been copied in order to retain the ex-
act chirography of the original authors.
Fading ink is one Of the things in
which the ancients did not believe.
Many of the medieval manuscripts
six and seven hundreds years old have
their letters formed of ink that is as
black and bright as on the day when
first written.
Who has the secret Of this lost art
Of making durable ink? It is another
one of the lost arts that is worthy of
investigation. The ancients had fewer
materials to work with and less facil-
tiles for laboratory tests. but we must
acknowledge that there are some
things in which they excelled u.s.

Jov Of ! Yawn.

When life seems more than usually
insipid and such moments do come to
even the most hopeful Of us-there is
a sudden pleasant sympathy in the
yawn Of the terrier on the rug before
the fire. "Ah, you, too, find things a
little boring, old fellowp we say to
ourselves. A dog yawns nobly, max
ing no attempt at Disgusting 1t with
politely uplifted paw. All animals
seem to enjoy a yawn except man.
We once saw the late lamented hip
popotamus at the zoo lift himself slow
ly from his murky pond and yawn. 1t
was a great spectacle, tremendous, Ho-
meric. The concentrated boredom of
the whole creation seemed expressed
in that gigantic gasp. For few fas-
cinated moments pond, shed. ratings,
people, all seemed merged in one CO.
lossal mouth. 1t was wonderful. Oh,
we thought as we came away, to be
able to yawn like that when life be-
comes too silly!-Pall Mall Gazette.

WINS WITH THE NEWS.
Secret OF The Wonderful Success
OF A Great Paper.

The Philadelphia Record. now entering upon
the forteth year of its acquaintanEeship with the
world. seems to have won its great prestige by a
stubborn refusal to be dragged away from the
simplest principle of journalism Strange as it
may seem in these days OF vari-colored emanatons
from the printing press, the Record has never
been able to disahuse itself of the notion that the
main duty of a newspaper is to print the news.
From its famous first page. which is patterned
alter by newspapers throughout the land, to the
last line of its last page, the Record is always
chock full OF news -sjust simply news Not con-
tent to carry the service of the Associated Press
which>it prints more fully than any other Phila-
delphia paper. the Record is recognized by
correspondents all over Pennsylvania, New Jersey
Delaware and Maryland as the best buyer of
special news dispatches in the State OF Pennsy-
vania. Without trenching upon the field OF
small neighborhood newspapers. it carries full
er service of countryside news than any other
journal in the field. And its country side news
as well its dispatches from affair. has the virtue
of being reliable.

GET Out Of Doors.

Trudeau's classic experiment points
us in the right direction. After inoc-
ulating number of rabbits with tu-
berculosis he confined a number OF
them indoors and turned the others
outdoors. The latter all recovered,
while the former all died. This exper-
iment shows that a rabbit living upon
its natural food and under a natural
environment is proof against tubercu-
losis. There is abundant reason to be-
lieve this equally true Of man. In
other words, tuberculosis is not a nee
essary evil of human life, but is nat
ural consequence Of erroneous habits
and departure from natural conditions.
Man is naturally an outdoor animal.
A mole lives healthy life in bur-
row. A man must live in the fresh air
and the sunshine. Medical Record.
