Scientist Was Willing to conceds Something to Author of "Ths
 Vision of sin.S

Thomas Nelson Page contrasted the literary and the scientific tenn peraments. "But letter will best bring out my point" said the fa- nous author. "You've heard, of course, of Tennyson's poem, The Vision of Sin We'll, an eminent mathematician wrote to Tennyson, on the appearance of his poem, letter that ran like this. Dear Sir: 1 find in recent poem of yours, en- titled "rhe Vision of Sin," the fol- lowing unwarranted statement, "Ey- cry moment dies a man, and every moment one is born" I need hard ly point out that this calculation, if correct, would tend to keep the sum total of the worlds population in q state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an established fact that the said population is constantly on the in- crease 1 would, therefore, suggest that in the next edition of this poem the erroneous calculation to which l refer should be corrected, as follows: Every moment dies a man, and one and sixteenth is born" I may add that the exact figures are l.617, but something must, of course, be conceded to tho laws of rhythm" "'"

AERIAL TRANSFORMATION.

It is said that the French colonial army intends to establish aerial transportation across the desert of Sahara to link the French north Af- rican possessions with those of the Congo.
 One critic remarks that in alight- ing sand is likely to work itself into the motor and that unless the aero plane flies at a height of over 1000 feet sand storms may play havoc with the machinery. The French are likewise considering carrying mail by aeroplane in Madagascar be- tween Antananarivo, Ambositra and Fianarantsoa. The distance each way is 250 miles and 1t takes week to deliver the mail at Fianarantsoa. An aeroplane could cover the dis tance in six hours. Scientific Amer ican.

First aid to the inlurged; First ascertain whether the injured per son is hurt or not and when this is ascertained the person should be moved if he is apt to be injured again in the same place. If a physician is handy he could be called on to assist. If it is a broken leg, tie both arms behind his back in order that he cannot get away while being searched for other injuries or personal effects. In case he should struggle while you are wiring the break together with bailing wire, and break his other leg, it might be well to hitch the uninjured member to a post, which can always be found handy, then proceed as indicated on the package.
