Six FoIIies of Science.

The six follies of science are the
squaring of the circle, perpetual mo-
ton, the philosophers stone. the elixir
Of life, magic and astrology.
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late TO unra vel
the mysteries supposed to be connect.
ed with these fascinating problems. II
Is not always remembered that such
intellectual giants as Bacon, Sir Rob,
ert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone. In the study
Of astrology Lilly was for time even
pensloned by parliament
Most of these "follIes" conferred In
direct benefits upon science. for 1t
seeking one thing their devotees dis
covered many another The craze fol-
the secret. or unknown. has still Its
hold upon men and is seen In palmis

TOLD IN A DREAM.
The Message a Dying Girl Conveyed to
Her Brother.

Elcf BfONHcTs
This is an absolutely true dream
story: A certain young lady. whom we
will call Mary A.. was recovering
from illness. The doctor had declared
her to be out of danger. and her
friends and relatives were rejoicing In
the fact. Nevertheless Miss A., receiv-
ing a visit one day from a sister.
gravely assured her that she was go
ing to die. The sister poohpoohed the
idea and treated it as an invalid's fan
cy. Miss A., however, with the ut
most calmness, repeated her state
ment. She was certain that she would
die that night and begged her sister to
fetch her parents and other relatives
to say goodby. Thinking to humor
her, the sister complied. One person
was absent from this strange family
gatherings brother. who was at sea
and was expected home in a week or
two. "But 1t does not matter" Miss
A. quietly observed. II saw him last
night In dream and said goodby to
him in his cabin" Before the sun
rose again Miss AS prediction had
come true; she was dead That. how.
ever, is not the strangest part Of this
weird story. When in due time the
sailor brother reached port he was met
by his other sister. who began to tell
him the sad news. "Ah," he interrupt
ed, "you need not tell me! Mary is
dead. / knew 1t. for she came to me
one night in my dreams and told me
she was going to die and wanted to
say goodby." On comparing dates 1t
was found that the dreams we're
dreamed on the selfsame night.-Lon-

There Is abundant evidence that the
origin Of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back In the dim ages of the past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
Ing Of war with cannon and guns or
any kind Of firearms. Quintus Curtius
Informs us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia, and
Philostratus says that Alexander's con
quests were arrested by the use of
gunpowder, 1t is also written that
those wise men who lived In the cities
Of the Ganges overthrow their enc
mics with tempests and thunderbolts
shot from the walls"

This instance of what a mistake of a

An odd Turkish superstition is as
follows: II one finds piece Of bread
lying upon the ground he must pick II
up. kiss 1t and carry 1t until he finds @
hole into which the bread can be In
serted. To step upon piece Of bread
or to leave 1t lying upon the ground is
one Of the objectionable sins and
dooms the offender to the third hell
where he is perpetually gored by an
OK that has but single horn that is in
the center of his forehead.

The SmiIa.

We talk of smile Of defiance.
There Is really no such thing. Such a
so called smile Is nothing more nor
less thdn snarl. a survival Of the
way our savage ancestors had Of show
ing their teeth In order to strike fear
into the hearts of their enemies, The
real smile of pleasure begins with
slightly opening the mouth, and Is, of
course, traceable to the joy Of those
same savage forefathers of ours at the
prospect Of food.

ing Argentina the great and growing country

feet foremost. with railroad lines stretched over
her plains hundreds of miles beyond the cuiu-

of population. And always the railroad has
brought settlers and farms have sprung UP out
of the waste wherever it has gone.
The foreigners have had a great part in this
German French and English capital has
financed the leading lines; the roads are built
according to American methods and equipped
almost entirely with American rolling stock

the vast import trade, and foreign bankers and
foreign promoters pay for and oversee most of
the great improvements that mark the develop
ment of a growing country
That is why the exhibition is actually I'm
ternational'
All the countries represented do in fact have
a vital interest in the growth of Argentina, ana

cleverness of the Argentinos can be trusted not
to let it be dull. The managers have made a
generous Interpretation of the phrase land
transport" so that it covers everything from
locomotives and automobiles to aeropanes tele-
phones and fire engines. The historical depart
ment has worked with dragnet and obtained
something or other that has to do with land
transport" in connection with nearly every i'm
portant event that has happened in the country.
There will be a large exhibit on the subject
of good roads, including streets and pavements,
high roads bride paths and racetracks. The
military division shows how to transport guns
and baggage, how to manage the hospital ser
vice how to build bridges and how to push for

ing wagons, town carriages, automobiles, rapid
transit. luggage, postofices, provident systems
for workingrlen-there hundred different
shows to interest the people of a country that
is keenly alive to its great needs and great
opportunities.
The foreigners showed their business sense
and their appreciation of the Argentine trade
in promoting the exhibition; they took another
way to show how they appreciated the finer
courtesies that obtain among Latin peoples
