Heroes in Common Life.

We need not go back to ancient days
nor read of Marathon and Thermopylae
to call muster roll of heroes, Mar
garet E. Sangster writes in the
Christian Herald. The daily papers
furnish stories of heroism which stir
the blood and lift us above the com
monplace of the sordid days into a
purer atmosphere. Two young girls,
classmates and dear friends, lost their
lives by drowning at Wellesley, Mass. >,
one summer day lately. Une ventured
beyond her depth; the other, who could
swim a little, forgot her own safety
and struck out to save her friend.
Both perished, but the one who tried
to save the other was as much a
heroine as if she had succeeded. A
fire occurred one July day in a tene-
ment in Brooklyn. James McGrath,
a fireman, climed to the height of
four stories, walked on narrow
ledge of four stories, through the
heat and smoke, and with incredible
courage in the face of terrific danger,
saved an old man who was i'll and un-
able to help himeslf from impending
death. The crowd on the sidewalk
called to McGrath to come back, but
he passed forward and rescued the
man, counting not his own life dearer.
Both were saved.
A woman in great peril, caught
upon a Ferris wheel and suspended be-
tween earth and sky, was rescued the
other day from her plight by work
ingman named John Carol. He had a
crippled left hand but managed. not
withstandlng this, to reach the woman
and drag her into safety. The man
who sees what to do and does it with
quick presence of mind and with com
plete Inconsistencies of self is the
modern hero. He may be a police
man, an engineer, a telegraph opera
tor, a coast guard, signal
man, or anybody unknown to fame,
but the stuff of which heroes are made
is in him.
Amador ledger., 1910-11-18
Scientists Viewpoint

Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some of the ends of
the world predicted by sensational pro-
phets may prove to be true will find
considerable comfort in the assertion
of Prof Lowell that there is good
scientific evidence for the belief that
mankind will have many years warm
ing of the great catastrophe that is
destined to put an end to all thi' gs on
this planet.
According to Prof. Lowell's state
ments the Brooklyn Eagle says, there
is somewhere within the remote con-
fines of space great mass of matter
once a world. but now dead-that is
hurting itself toward our sun. In time
it is certain to reach the goal to which
it is tending, and when the two come
together the globe on which we live is
destined to cease to exist.
While it would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight,
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable.
If the first view of the intruder was
caught at the eleventh magnitude-it
could scarcely come nearer without be-
ing detected-it would not be until
twenty seven years later that it would
become visible to the naked eye, and
three years more would elapse before
it appeared to US as equal in size to a
first magnitude star. In two years
and three months more it would have
come as near to US as Jupiter, and by
that time it would be far the brightest
star in the sky.
Fortunately for our peace of mind,
there is at the present moment no such
dead world within dangerous proXi-
nifty, and yet any day it may appear.
Any day the morning newspapers may
announce that one of these dark
bodies has come within the reach Of
the telescOpe-that it may readily be
seen by the light of the sun reflected
upon it
In short, its effect upon the world
would already be felt. Our seasons
would change and the days would grow
longer. Finally, Just las days later,
those who were still alive would wit
ness the beginning of the end. The
stranger would not strike the earth,
but would pass so close in its dash to
the sun that the earth would drop
silently into the sun.

How the Farm Paid

The following story which appeared
recently is only single instance of
many which might be mentioned in
which the well-trained farm boy who
has stayed by his brthright has at
tanned success not easily possible IN
the city for the average country bov.
A thrifty German farmer in the
northern part of Wisconsin twelve
years ago had two boys. The eldest
took great dislike to farming. He
was bound to go to the city. Great
fortunes were to be made there. He
sneered at his father and his slow
ways So he went to Chicago.
The younger boy stayed on the
farm. He had an inquiring turn of
mind, and he read all the good papers
and books on farming he coulo get,
and spent one winter in the short
course at the College of Agriculture at
the University of Wisconsin at Madi-
son.
To-day he is the owner Of a farm,
so we are informed, worth $18, 600.
The older brother is q street car driver
in Chicago, and expecting to make a
fortune the same as ever. There are
thousands like him, too.

Is Ballinger Fit or Unfit?

Stewart Edward White has something
to say in the March American Magazine
in regard to the Ballinger affair He raises
very pertinent point and question which
will prove interesting to everyone. The
following is the way Mr. White expresses
it:
"Ballinger's connection with certain
Alaska coal lands was strongly objected
to by CLAWS. CLAWS failed absolutely to,
get satisfaction in his own department.

appealed outside it direct to the president.
The president. investigating the matter.
finds that Ballinger has done nothing il
legal Since that is so, then CLAWS is
guilty of technical INSTRUMENTATION. On
that ground he is summarily dismissed
;Attorney-General Wickersham subsequent
ly goes over the papers and makes the
same report--that Ballinger has done moth
ing Illegal and therefore, his record is
clear.
Now, the public's blind instincts in
such matters are likely to be correct. 1t
