Calculations as to the size required
for human beings on the other planets
vary widely according to the basis
of reckoning. According to those
based upon the attraction OF gravity.
Jupiter should be peOpled by pygmies
Of 2S inches. Wolhus, on the other
hand, argued that Goliath himself
would be accounted decidedly under.
sized upon that planet He worked
from the feebleness Of the suns light
there. which would demand that the
pupil of the eye should be much more
dilatable. Since the pupil stands In
constant proportion to the ball OF the
eye, and that to the entire body. said
Wolfius. a little calculation shows
that an average Jovian must be nearly

Many nurserymen now make a special
u Of supplying plants for the wild
garden Usually II Is better 10 buy
their stock than 10 rely wholly on
transplanting from the woods, be.
cause under care plants often develop
exceedingly strong roots which enable
them 10 establish themselves more

In ny garden I have a wild-dowe7
corner. or It might be called a email
woods garden. since most Of the
things dwelling there are true inhsbi-
tants OF dense and quiet places. A
similar effect might be achieved in
a border by those who have not so
large spare corner In their gardens.
The wild columbtne has grown for
years In light. dry soil under the full
sun. NOt thI from COlum Dine there
snuggles in the May woods the showy

large yellow lady's slipper, with other
members Of the evasive orchid fam
lily are to be found in the woods Of
May. In fact thess two mentioned
beauties, along with the snowy orchid,
are the three representatives that
have come from their native haunts
into my garden. The large yellow
lady's slipper thrives perhaps the
best Of them all. and OF 1t l have e.

Often a mistake Of those who
search the woods for plants for their
gardens is that they strive to collect
too many species. 1t is better taste
to have few kinds and to have them
In considerable numbers. The aim Of
Wild flowers In garden should be to

A REVOLVING sAFa.
Ingenious Device to out~lt che EH-
terprlsIna Burglar.


Bince no metal has yet been de-
vtsed which can resist the action ol
the oxyhydrogen or the oxyacetylens
flame. It became necessary to hnd
some other means Of keeping burglars
from safes and strong boxes, 90 the
revolving safe has been evolved. II
consists Of a steel box inclosed on all
sides and arranged to revolve on bali
bearings, and inclosed in a spherical
compartment, built of strong masonry
and closed. In the inclosing masonry
and in the strong-box doors are con-
triyed. by means OF which the strong
box Is accessible from outside, az long
as 1t Is not revolving. which would be
the case, for instance. during the
business hours OF the bank in whose
quarters the revolving safe is set up.
At the close of business both doors
are closed, an electrOmotor. operated
by a storage battery, is switched on
and the strOng-box then revolyes at q
uniform rate OF speed uninterruptedly
until a predetermined period, to
which a clockwork connected with the
switching apparatus is set. when the
moving mechanism is automatically
switched on.

She Was Too Quick.

There we're three at the little table
in the cafe, lady and two men.
Suddenly the electric lights went out
and the lady quickly and nolselessly
drew back.
An instant later there was the
smack Of a compound kiss. As the
electric lights went up each man was
seen smiling complaisantly.
II thought l heard a kiss" said the
lady. but nobody kissed me-"
Then the men suddenly glared at
each other and flushed and looked
