THE TRUE STORY OF A KICKER

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal
There lived two frogs, SO I've been
told,
In a quiet wayside pool;
And one OF these frogs was a blamed
bright frog,
But the other frog was fool
Now, a farmer with a big milk can
Was wont to pass that way;
And he used to stop and add a drop
Of the aqua pure, they say.
And it CHANGED one morn in the ear
ly dawn
When the farmers sight was dim,
He scooped these frogs in the water
he dipped
Which was a joke on him
The fool frog sank in the smashing
tank
AS the farmer bumped to town,
But the smart frog flew like a tug
boat screw,
And he sWore he'd not go down.
So he kicked and splashed and he
| slammed and thrashed.
And ne kept on top through all;
And he churned that milk in first
class shape
In a great big butter ball.
Now, when the milkman got to town
And opened the can, there lay
The fool frog drowned; but hale and
sound,
The kicker, he hoped away.
Moral:
Don't fret your life with needless
strife,
| You let this teaching stick,
You'll find, old man, in the worlds
big can
It sometimes pays to kick.

The Effect When the Beams Penetrate
Foggy Atmosphere.

The Effect When the Beams Penetrate
Foggy Atmosphere.
Nearly everybody is familiar With
the beam Of a searchlight and knows
why the beam is visible, while light
itself cannot be seen unless it strikes
the eye, its visibility being due to par
ticles in the air which really do reflect
the light to the eye. On a foggy
night, if one will notice, the beam
seems to come abruptly to an end if
the light is pointed upward 1t does
this instead Of gradually fading away
into nothing. as it does pointed hori-
zontally on a uniformly foggy night.
The thing is rather puzzling to one
first seeing it, but the reason is not far
to seek. Where the end of the beam
seems to be there is the place the fog
ends, for the beam cannot be visible to
US unless there are small particles in
its path. This is Of great help to sail
ors in judging Of the state Of the
weather. for they can tell exactly how
thick the frog is, or, rather, how deep it
is. They can also tell by throwing the
light horizontally whether the fog is
universal or occurring only In patches,
for ii extending to a great distance the
beam gradually gets DINNER and dim
mer, but if in patches the beam is
lighter in patches. and IL it goes
through place with no fog at all that
part of the beam is black or invisible,

CRIMINALS.

The history of the nineteenth
century is filed with the reforms
which were directed not merely
to the Improvement of criminal
codes and the mitigation of pun
ishments for crime, but to the
better care of the insane, of pau
pers and of prisoners, who had
been treated in the eighteenth
century far worse than animals.
In some of our states and in
many countries of Europe the
death penalty has been abolish
ed, even in cases Of murder.
Before the era Of reform there
was little or no public sympathy
with the criminal. Today we
seem almost to have reached the
point where the sympathy is so
strictly confined to the criminal
that there is none left for the
victim of the crime. The aboli-
ton of capital punishment does
not appear to have brought
about the condition postulated
by Talleyrand, who, when he
was urged to support the abOli-
ton Of the death penalty, said
he certainly would if the MUIR
derers would begin by giving up
murder-Henry Cabot Lodge.
