Trade Winds

The causes Of the trade winds are the
displacement Of the air at the equator
and the motion Of the earth. Fhe cola
air from the poles b constantly dow
ing toward the equator, thus produc-
Ing northerly winds in the northern
hemisphere and ssutherly winds In the
southern. These winds are detected
from their natural course, however. by
the movement of the earth as it re
wolves on its axis from east to west,
and as the rotation Of the earth Is
more rapid at the equator than else
where 1t happens that the speed is
there so great as to outstrip the move
ments Of the air from the poles. force
them into another direction and give
rise 10 the currents known as the trade
winds.-New York American.

There is a country where babies
never hear harsh words. Strangely
enough, It is a country where mission
aries feel there Is plenty Of work for
them to do. 1t Is a province in south
ern Africa, and the people. who never
quarrel in the presence of their chill
dren are the Ekoi. p. A. Talbot, who
has passed many years among them,
told recently Of the customs OF this
odd race. "The Ekoi," said he, "are
devoted parents and they have curious
beliefs as to the advent and death OF
babies. One superstition forbids all
quarreling in the house where there
are little children. The children they
say. love kind looks and gentle voices
and II these are not found in family
they will close their eyes and forsakc
the earth until the get chance to be
reincarnated in less quarrelsome sur.
roundings." Talbot, however, pointed
out that the people have not yet
grasped the importance Of fresh air
and sanitary surroundings.

They started from Washington but the
strike was called before they reached
the scene. This cannot be called a
failure on the part Of the mediators.

settlement Of the dispute.
In the majority of instances where
controversies are brought to the atten-
ton of the commission. arbitrators
are chosen. one by the railroad corpor-
alton, and one by the labor organiza-

selected by the two first appointed,
but In the event of their failure to
name the third arbitrator within five
days after their first meeting the third

In this way the mediation commits
sion has accomplished what was al
first thought to be impossibilities. The
first controversy settled by arbitration
during the past fiscal year. was tina,
between the Big Four railroad and
it's telegraphers. Then followed the
threatened strike OF the Switchmen's
Union Of North America on eight rail
roads entering Chicago. This was am
icably adjusted by the commission
The next case was the controversy be
