BOY OUT OF WINDOW ASLEEP
Pennsylvania Lad Makes Long Leap
While In His Dreams-Receives
Severe Injuries.

Chester. Pa.-To fall from a second
story window, sprain an ankle and
sustain severe decorations on the face
and body, and still remain asleep was
the experience of t~en-year-old John
Dougherty. son of William Dougherty,
q prominent resident of Crum Lynne.
Mrs. Dougherty was awakened by a
strange noise at one of the upstairs
windows and before she could reach
the place she heard a thud in the yard
below. and then everything was still.
Rushing down stairs. Mrs. Dougher-
,ty found her SOL standing in an alley
and repeating the words, WELL. we'll"
, Mrs. Dougherty picked up the little
fellow and carried him into the house,
when she discovered that he was still
asleep.
When awakened John said he did
not remember falling. but that he had
dreamed some one was chasing him.
To get out Of the room it was neces-
sary for him to unlock the shutters
after raising the window.
1t was at least an hour before he
felt any pain from his injuries. which,.
while they are severe. are not consid-
cred dangerous.

American Humor.

Taking for it's text the fact that the
best musical comedies presented in
this country come out of London, an
eastern newspaper bemoans the de-
cline Of American humor. 1t is a just
complaint. Americans are fond Of
;humor; but there seems to be little
of it in them now.
No doubt there are humorists of
high quality in this country, but they
are not in the foreground. While
Mark Twain is still interesting, he has
lost the freshness and spontaneity of
an earlier time. Bill Nye is dead.
George AIDE is mildly funny, rather
than humorous; the compelling quail
ity Of genuine humor is not to be
found in his efforts. Peter Dunno got
much closer to the real thing in Mr..
Dooley; but, then, discourses in dia-
lect on topical themes quickly lose
their p%ertinence and are soon forgot
ten.
Perhaps the pressure of American
life has been too severe to make pos
sible sustained humor of a kind that
would endure. But the time is ripe
for the coming of a great American
humorist; it is ripe, too, for the COM
ing of a satirist of the good quality Of
Swift or Carlyle.-Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

INCREASE IN LIES DURATION
Sanitary Science Has Done Much to
ProIong the Stay of Man
Upon the Earth. Vi

National efficiency depends partly
on natural resources, partly on the
integrity of social institutions, partly
on human vitality, and is a reaction
against the old fatalistic creed that
deaths inevitably occur at a constant

1T is within the power of man to rid
himself Of everp parasitic disease"
Longevity varies in different times
and places. The average length of
life in Denmark and Sweden exceeds
SO years; in India it falls short CT Is.
In Europe it has increased in $50
years from less than 20 to over 40
years. In Massachusetts, in less than
half a century, IL has increased five
years. AS longevity increases, NOR
tally decreases.
The death rate in the Registration
area" of the United States is 1876 per
thousand; in India it is about AZ per
thousand. In European cities it varies
from 16 to 40. The death rate has
been decreasing during several cen
turtles. In the seventeenth and
elghteenth centuries 1t was 40 to 5O,
and during the pest periods rose as
high as 80. 1t is now Is. In Havana
the death rate after American occupa-
ton fell from over SO to about 20.
The greatest reductions have been
effected among children. The mortal
ity beyond the age of so years has
remained stationary. Special dis
eases have decreased, such as tuber-
%culosis, which is now one-third as
prevalent as two generations ago.;
typhoid fever, which in Munich, after
the elimination of %cesspools, de-
creased 81 per cent, and in Law

Spanish Politeness.

The Spanish grandee is about the
most polite man in the world, for he
has no business cares. Politeness and
cigarettes are his only business. San
Antonio, Tex, is the most charmingly
polite town upon this continent, yet
San Antonio is a cosmopolitan city.
There are almost as many foreigners
as native southern gentlemen and it
is also a good business town; still, one
sees nothing but the s%oftest, gentlest
manners and courtesy and the atten-
lions to ladies are always beyond
question or. r%eproach. The explanation
is not far to seek. It was not long
ago and is still to an extent the case.

SOLVING 4 MYSTERY
Engineers Working Upon Prob
lem of Paris to Madrid Line.
Efforts Being Made to Overcome Dis
tortlng Effects Of Long Lines by
What ls Called "Loading" to
Facilitate Speech.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. engineers all
over the world are endeavoring to
solve the problem Of long distance
work, and it may be possible soon to
speak from London to Madrid via
Paris.
The French postal administration
has forwarded to Madrid for sigma
ture a preliminary agreement on the
question of a Paris-Madrid telephone
line. When the agreement is signed
the laying of the telephone wires will
be commenced. The line from Lon
don to Madrid via Paris would be
about 1000 miles long. The British
post Office regard 700 miles as the
limit for ordinary working, but in
some recent tests telephone CONVEX
sations were held between Liverpool
and Marseilles. a distance Of just over
1000 miles.
There are two main difficulties in
the way of long distance telephony.
The first is that the greater the dis
lance the weaker will be the sounds
heard in the telephone; the second

telephone lines known as capacity"
bends the waves transmitted through
the wires out of shape and distorts
the sounds. The 20 miles of subma-
rine telephone cable between Sangat-
to and st. Margaret's Bay on the Lon
don-Paris line is as great a drawback as
two or three hundred miles of over
head line. and it is this that demands
caution in talking or speaking from
London to great distances abroad.
Telephone engineers are trying to
overcome the distorting effects of long
lines by what is called loading" At
short intervals along the line small
coils of wire are placed acros the two
telephone lines. and these. If spaced at
distances properly in accord with the
now historical calculations of Pupin,
overcome the effects and render
speech possible over much greater dis
tances
AS In wet weather the distortion of
the speech waves is hardly suitable
for overhead wires; it has, neverthe-
less. been tried and is stated to in
crease the limit of speaking about
three times. The longest distance
over which speaking is possible is
stated to be between Boston and
Omaha. a distance Of about 1000
miles.

MUST WAKE CLOCK
ALARM THAT BUT HALF Full.
FILLS ITS MISSION.
Mr.. stoggleton Complains That He
Has to Arise Every Morning to
Shake Timepiece Before It
Will Do Its Duty.

"As a rule" said Mr.. Stoggleton,
"the alarm clock is supposed to wake
up the sleeper, but I know of a case
in which the sleeper wakes up the
alarm clock.
(. This clock keeps time all right, but
there's something the matter with it's
alarm section so that it doesn't ring
automatically. You can set the alarm
and it will go when the times comes
If you shake it, but not otherwise.
You'd think that anybody owning a
clock like that would have it fixed or
throw it away and get another, but for
some reason this owner doesn't do
either. I don't know, but it seems to
me as If he had a sort of a friendly
feeling for the clock that thus needs
help. Anyway, he's as kindly to the
old clock as if it was a gentle friend.
He helps it all he can.
"Six-thirty is my friends rising
time, and every night when he goes to
bed he winds the clock and sets the
alarm for that hour. He, knows it
won't ring, but he doesn't mind about
that. He's a systematic, orderly per-
son, accustomed to rising at a fixed
hour, and he would wake at that hour
whether he had an alarm clock or not,
but from long habit he winds the
alarm just the same, and then when
he wakes up in the morning at $3.50 or
$50 he looks to see the exact time.
1T it's five or ten minutes. before
half past six he waits till that time
comes, or if it's five minutes past half
past six he reaches out at once to the
convenient table on which the clock
rests and picks it up and shakes it,
and then bang! bang! bang! goes the

II think, as l said, that. he has a
isort of friendly feeling for the old
clock and sort of feels that he must
look after it, and really it seems as
If the clock ~reciprocated this feeling,
and was saying to him when he has
shaken it out Of it's drowsiness and
It starts banging: Why, how do you
do? Good-morning!'
"And that may all be very nice, but
still I do think that if that was my
clock l should very kindly but very
firmly drop it in the ash can. I'm
naturally of a friendly disposition
myself, but I don't think I'd have any
use for an alarm clock that didn't

WEAK ON FINANCE
GIRLS STUDIES OF MONETARY
SUBJECTS NEGLECTED..
Mr.. Fatherly's Daughters Are Charm.
ing In All Ways, But They. Have
Strange Ideas as to the
Handling Of Money.

Strange ideas of finance our chill
;dren are likely to have" said Mr.. Fa-
aherly. For n thing, they seem to
think we are made of money"
IF they want anything they think,
apparently, that all they have to do is
to ask their father for the money.
That he might have difficulty in sup
plying all their wants is something
that seems never to occur to them.
and they don't understand it when
sometimes ] have to tell them that
there is a kink in the exchequer and
that | cannot just then honor their
demands. But they have other queer
ideas about money. For instance:
I'VE make our two daughters each
various lesser wants. They spend this
money as they go along for many lit
tie things, or sometimes they ccum
late it until they get enough for some
bigger thing that they want, and then
they buy that. And then sometimes
when the time has come when they
want to get this more costly thing
they find they haven't accumulated
quite enough. They borrow the bal
ance of me. That is to say. they get
an advance on their allowance, which
they pay back in installments at their
convenience.
The home bank lets them take
their time about this, and sometimes
they are pretty slow. 1t is hard. up
hill work for anybody to repay bor-
rowed money; | guess we all know
that. So we eve worry the girls
about repaying this borrowed money;
we let thew take their time about it.
and We charge them no interest.
Then comes along a week when
the home bank is pinched a little and
when it would be a help to call some
amount on these small loans; which
we do, when agreed to by the other
party, by deducting a sum from the
weekly allowance and crediting the
same to the account of the loan as an
installment in repayment. We don't
actually get in any money by this you
understand. but we have to pay out
less, and that in the circumstances
may be a help. And now what do you
think one Of my daughters says to me
when ! make her this proposition?
"She is ready and willing, in fact.
glad, to let that deduction from her.
allowance be made this week, to be-
credited to the account of her loan,
but since this money is going to be al
help to me she wants to know If Ii
don't think | ought to allow her some|
interest on It! l have been out this
money all this time, but when shei
pays any of it back she thinks | ought,
to pay her something for the use of;
it! Isn't that b%ewildering?
1T Is my experience that Mrs. Fa-
therly is a great economist. She never
wastes a penny and she can make a.
dollar go further than anybody l ever
knew; but our daughters, charming
girls as they are, have only the haziest
notions about finance, and n of
these is that money grows in their "a
theirs pocket"
