CUES in favor of the theory of solar
evolution for which he is responsible.
and he holds that it probably fore
shadows long history for the earth
He says: But into the problem of
human endurance two new factors
have entered, the power of definite
moral purpose and the resources of re-
search. No previous race has shown
clear evidence that it was guided bv
moral purpose in seeking distant ends.
In man such moral purpose has risen
to distinctness. AS it grows, beyond
question it will count in the perpetuity
OF the race. No doubt it will come to
weigh more and more as the resources
OF destructive pleasure, on the one
hand, and of altruistic rectitude ON the
other are increased by human inge-
nuity. 1t will become more critical as
the growing multiplicity of the race
brings upon 1t, in increasing stress,
the distinctive humanistic phases of
the struggle for existence now dimlv
toreshadowed. 1t will, beyond cues.
tlon, be more fully realized as the
survival of the fittest shall render its
verdict on what Is good and what is
evil IN this realm of the moral world.
But to be most efficient, moral purpose
needs to be conjoined with the high
est intelligence, and herein lies the
function of research. None of the ear
lier races made systematic inquiry into
the conditions of life and sought there
by to extend their careers. What can
research do for the extension of the
career of man? We are witnesses of
what 1t is beginning to do in render.

mans control and in giving him com.
mand over the maladies of which he
has long been the victim. Can it mas
ter the secrets of vital endurance, the
mysteries of heredity, and all the
fundamental physiological processes
that condition the longevity of the
race? The answer must be left to the
future, but take no risk in affirming
that when ethics and research Join
hands in broad and earnest endeavor
TO compass the highest development
and the greatest longevity of the race

HIGH LOCOMOTIVE SPEEDS.
Present Method May Yet Make Good

Present Method May Yet Make Good
Showing Against MonoraiI.
The high speeds which are predicted
for the Brennan monorail lead one
naturally to compare them with the
best that the ordinary steam or elec.
trio locomotive on double rails can do,
the London Globe says. 1t seems prob.
able that the monorail will eventually
beat the double rail, but it's capabil.
tiles still remain in the region of
prophecy, while the locomotives to
which we are accustomed have proved
themselves by actual running tests.
And their records show that they may
yet make good fight with the new
er traction, backed as they are by
wealthy companies and enormous vest
ed interests. Speeds of sixty miles an
hour maintained over fairly lone
stretches of line are common to mosi
good railways; a speed of seventy miles
Is reached in almost every express
run, and short bursts of eighty and
ninety miles an hour are frequent on
the four leading lines of this coun
try. An experiment made in Ger
many some years back showed that II
was possible to maintain a speed OF
anything between eighty and ninety
miles an hour for long stretches, but
in this case the line has to be spe
cially cleared and unusually powerful,
locomotives have to be employed. The
real difficulty in the way of very
high speeds is that for long g-distance
Journeys where traffic is great there
must be constant stoppages, and al
though it is possible to accelerate and
decelerate the speed very quickly after
each stop-especially with electric
traction, as our underground lines
show-the discomfort to the passen-
gers of such rapid changes of speed
is very great If pushed beyond a Ger.
tain point.

A Georgia man who has for a num-
ber of years been experimenting in
floral culture has succeeded in produc-
ing a black rose, and, more wonderful
still, he claims that by mixing three
inexpensive and common chemicals he
is able to grow black cotton. His
achievement is hailed as boon by peo-
pie who are capable of recognizing
boons when they appear. With black
cotton 1t will no longer be necessary to
use dyes that are often damaging to
the wearing qualities of the fabrics to
which they are applied. Socks made
Of black cotton are expected to be
much more durable than are those
which now trickle through the chan
nels of commerce. This one item would
mako black cotton well worth while.

Mix starch with soapy water and the
linen will have good gloss and be
easy to iron.
Graham bread and brown bread are
both excellent for sandwich purposes
and raisin bread, with lots of raisins

Carrots will make delicious pre-.
serves. Take three-quarters of a pound
Of sugar to pound of carrots and
sufficient water to make sirup, and
boil until the preserves are thick. A
little ginger or lemon should be added
to flavor.
For those who find maple sirup be-
yond their means try this: Five cups
of light brown sugar, three to four
cups Of granulated sugar, and about
one-quarter to one-half pound of maple
sugar; add water and boil to consist.
