Can You Speak ado 2"

An alleged improvement upon the
now widely known international Ian
guage Esperanto is the result of the
labors of a subcommittee appointed by
the international committee on arti-
fetal languages which met in Paris
under the presidency of the famous
chemist Ostwald in 1907. This new
interlanguage is called lido. 1t has
its dictionaries, grammars and read
ing books prepared for the use of
readers of eight or nine existing Ian
guages. 1t has been described as a
"Quintessence of European languages -
and its advocates claim that it is
simpler and easier to learn than Es-
perantO and that many are adopting
It, Professor Otto Jespersen says il
is a purified Esperanto, freed from
the arbitrary word coinages and word
clipping of that language, its illogical
and insufficient rules of word forma-
tion and its clumsy alphabet"

The Baseball Trainer.

Each modern baseball team carries a
trainer and usually during the spring
trip an assistant, says the American
Magazine. The trainer is an expert
masseur, something of medical prac-
titiOner, surgeon, nurse, osteopath, bat
boy, assistant ticket taker, general all
round man and the object of the wrath
of every player who happens to have
a grievance. To judge the "snap" a
trainer has, Bert Semmons, trainer of
the Chicago club, kept a record of his
work last season. He massaged an
average of eleven men day from
March l to Oct. 16, some of them morn
ing, afternoon and evening; treated 1S1
cuts, wounds, abrasions, ''sliders"
(Which means patches of skin torn off
in sliding), sprains and broken bones,
including forty-two spike cuts, and his
record shows he used nearly forty
quarts of aseptic lotion.

Passing of the Attic.

Nobody would deny the picturesque
ness Of the old time attic. How many
stories have been woven about it,!
What tales Of adventure and romance
have explored it for its pervasive
charm! And how many rainy hours
have we ourselves passed pleasantly
under its mysterious caves! The farm
house attic sheds a peculiarly agree
able glow upon the childish memories
Of the country bred man. He recalls
its dangling ears Of corn, its savory
herbs, its sense of peace and other
worldliness. And yet it is well that
the attic, even the farmhouse attic,
should go, and it is going fast. In
place Of it is coming the third story, a

The Graceful Curve,

The keenly observant will take note
of the subtle way in which the pain
fully straight lines of last season have
been changed into graceful curves.
The new coats are far removed
from the cut that predominated in the
autumn and early winter models
Curved seams are being introduced,
and variations of the lapels, fastenings
and lower lines are very noticeable.
Flounces and plaitings have invaded
the realm of afternoon and evening
costumes, while a decided fullness at
the waist is evident.
The masculine coat sleeve is giving
place to the slightly full shape of the
coming jacket, and capes are actually
promised for the attainment of the
rounded effect. 1t is probable that the
heroic attempts of femininity to keep
down the avoirdupois may be allowed
TO lapse, although it is hardly neces-
sary to add that the appreciation for
curved lines is not likely to be mani
tested with any startling celerity.
1t is true that there is a swinging
of the pendulum in the opposite direc-
ton. Womankind must accept the
verdict against the straight line and
adapt just enough of the curves to ap-
proXimate the golden mean.

smoothness Of Steel Plates.

Showing the results of his process OF
grinding and polishing steel plates far
smoother than has been hitherto pos
sible, Johansson, a Swedish engineer,
has given to the Paris Academy OF
Sciences a remarkable demonstration
Of the molecular attraction between
bodies in contact. The slightest micro
scopic unevenness is sufficient TO pre-
vent molecular adhesion. Electro-mag-
netic influences being proved to be alb
sent, one steel plate was placed on top
Of another, and then the pull of even
heavy weights failed to separate them.

Why Wo Men Wait on Women2
--chlvalrous Instinct in Man
lmpels Him to Pass Through
Three Stages When Confront
ed with Woman.

Irreverent persons suggest that
mans only object in life is to please
woman and TO serve her. Slightly ex.
aggerated is this statement perhaps;
yet there must be some truth at the
bottom of it, Otherwise. why should
man wait on woman at all? Why take
pleasure in being agreeable to her?
Why go out of his way to assist her,
In other words, why should he be
chiyalrous?
Chiyalry is the expression of mans
real instructive Difference for woman.
Although. like other instructive feel
ings, it is being modified or rooted up
by education and civilization. the chiv-
alrous instinct nevertheless still
makes itself felt in modern man. 1t
impels him. when confronted with
woman. to pass through three differ
ent stages In the first one he strives
to attract woman's attention. in the
second to please her; finally, to serve
her.
The unconcerned are highly divert
&c hy the first There is no end to the
e. 400 q man will do to attract wom-
al g attention. Nothing is too absurd
One man found it necessary to spoil
his patent-leather shoes. He was be-
ing rowed across a lake when a girl
passed by in her canoe. Without a
moments hesitation he plunged both
feet into the ripping water, letting
them dangle there, stupidity.
Other men use other methods;
some imagine themselves the proud
possessors of a voice and exercise it;
others whistle out of tune or twirl
their mustaches. Still others grow
disconnected and forget where they
are going or lose the thread Of their
conversation.
So much for the desire of being
noticed. When it comes to pleasing
women men are more particular. They
then strive for personal perfection.
The intellectual ones go about with
poetry in their breast pockets and
learn it by heart, ready to repeat it
at the first occasion. Or they dabble
into art or literature or some ism"
in order to acquire the correct pose.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
America and Art.

America will still remain the great
buyer of the finest and most costly
things, the prices of which are set by
the competition of American fortunes,
and these alone Nobody in Europe
has yet dreamed of paying for a Van
Dyck or a Rembrandt the prices that
have been given, as q matter of course
during the last two years by a tram
way magnate in Philadelphia and a
steel magnate and a dry goods mag
nate in Fifth avenue. Twice only, by
a gigantic effort, a public subscription
In England has defeated them and
their brethren-of whom there are at
least a dozen-in the case of the We
lasquez and the Holbein. But such ex-
ertions can only be made at long in
tervals, and 1t is very rarely that
government can be expected to take
the burden upon itself. The lesson of
the Yerkes sale will probably be that
it will be easy enough to buy back
moderately good things at perhaps less
than the American collector has paid
for them, but pictures like the Ilches-
ter Rembrandt and the Warwick Van
Dyck have gone and will not return. -

oreaon's Lake of the Clouds.

One Of the wonders of Oregon is
Crater lake, a remarkable body of
deep water occupying the immense
crater of an extinct volcano in the Cas-
cade mountains of that state. 1t has
been suggested that this mountain was
once one of the loftiest in America,
but that ages ago its summit fell in.
The heart of the mountain is now oc-
cupied by a lake of exquisitely blue
water whose greatest depth is 1000
feet. The lake is six miles long by
about four and half miles in width
and is completely encircled by pre-
cipitous walls varying in height from
1000 to 1900 feet above the water.
The greatest elevation Of the crater
rim above sea sevel is $500 feet Out
of the lake rises a volcanic cone called
Wizard island, $40 feet high. When
