ATHLETIC SPORTS.

Nothing can fake the place of ath- letic sports to develop strong, vigor- ous bodies in girls and young wom- en. While formal gymnastics have both an educational and corrective value and lay the foundation for ath- letic sports, they cannot take the place of outdoor sports to develop or ganic vigor, physical and moral cour- age, self-reliance, judgment, self-con- trol, decision and ethical training, a consideration for the rights of others, and a relaxation, particularly from mental work. Athletics are to youth what play is to children.

FINE PARACHUTES OF NATURE
Canada Thistedown and Slken Threads of Gossaner Spider
 Travel Far in the Air.

Careful examination has been made of the heads of Canada thistle downs in order to determine their ef- fectiveness as parachutes carry ittlg the seeds of the plant to great dis tances through the air The results of this examination are quite re- markable.
 Calculation shows that a thistle down starting from an elevation of 20 feet in still air would require two- thirds of minute to reach the ground. With a wind blowing 20 miles an hour it would be carried on the average about a fifth of mile. The total surface exposed to the air in an average thistledown is, on &C., count of the great number of hair- lets, a little more than one-third of a square foot.
 Another well known and very beautiful example of natures para chutes is furnished by the light silk en threads with the aid of which the little gossamer spider makes long aerial voyages.-Scientifc American.

ELECTRICITY AND BANANAS,

Among recent extensions of the use of electrical machinery, atten- tion is called to the employment of motor-driven ''marine-leg" machines to unload punches of bananas from the holds of fruit-carrying vessels at New Orleans. Not only is there great saving of labor, but it is said that the fruit is much less damaged than when unloaded by hand. At Louisville electric radiators have been employed to ripen' bananas for local consumption. The fruit is hung in ripening rooms, and subject ed to a temperature of 75 to so degrees during period of AS hours. Afterward it is kept in storage at temperature of 60 or 20 degrees - Scientific American.

PAIN AND SWEAR WORDS.

The Washington man who ad- vised his wife to seek relief from suf- fering through a resort to forceful language has received as a reward for his suggestion an additional item in the charges brought against him as grounds for legal separation. As in many other similar instances, this merely goes to show that the advo- cacy of any line of conduct, however admirable in the abstract, is likely to break down when put to the test of actual practice. It also proves, for once, the falsity of Josh Billings maxim that advice is very good thing-to give to the other fellow.

LORD BYRON AND PREVESA Poet 8eqan "chUde Harold" at Town Where the Turoo-Italian War
 Opened.

The Turco-Italian war is likely to provide the literary gossips with plenty of ''reminiscences. For in- stance it is interesting to recall that it was at Preyesa, in the Gulf of Arta, where the first shot of the war was fred that Byron landed for his tour through Albania and there also he began the second canto of "Childe Harold" which he finished, by the way, at Smyrna, another landmark in the present war, for an Italian squadron wys reported in that quar- ter the other day. Prevesa is in the yilayet of Janina, where, it is record cd in the Hon. Roden Noel's biogra- phy of Byron, the poet was supplied by order of the pasha with a house, horses and all necessaries gratis, Ali himself being absent besieging Ibra- him in Illyria.
 Readers familiar with "Childe Harold" will remember the very graphic description of the Gulf of Arta given by Hobhouse in a note to the poem. It is a vivid account of a night scene round the camp fires, with a background of rugged rocks and Albanian soldiers dancing in the freight and singing fierce bandit songs with the refrain, Kleph- teis pote Parga. (''robbers all at Parga'). On leaving Janina, Byron went to Missolonghi, thence to Vos- tizza, where he caught his first glimpse of the heights of Parnassus.

TEACHING POLICEMEN TO THINK.

New Yorks coppers are undergo ing a system of education. Not only are they being taught to wear white collars without affording realistic impersonation of a fat man choking to death, but they are required to keep their uniforms clean and neat ly pressed, their gloves unsoiled and their shoes spotless- And more than that, Commissioner Waldo is trying to break through the mental crust grown by years of carelessness and sloth and get from them something more than purely physical perform ance of duty.
 We're trying to teach them to think" said high police official. "And when a man has never thought twice on the same street since he won his badge, it is rather difficult job."- New York Letter to the Gin cinnati Times-Star.

the west side of the hall to add to
the appearances of the building three
enormous 4S-star flags were hung up
to complete the picture. The city hall
has been draped in bunting and flags
and the postoffice under the direction

are dressed in streamers, flags and
big red, white and blue fans. The
Castaneda hotel which will be one

On Sixth street, beginning at Ro-

the handsomest ever seen in Las We

show the desired results. The same
is to be said of all the merchants on
Douglas avenue and through entire
business part of Las Vegas. The
merchants of the Plaza have turned
out in grand style in joining in the
work of making Las Vegas a beauti-
full city. Several of the storekeepers
in decorating their windows have
made a picture of Secundino Romero
with "Our Choice" under it the center
of arrangement. Others have made
the 4Sth star the center of attraction.
In all of these, however, the red,
white and blue reigns supreme.

reciting the fact that three years af-
ter the cession of New Mexico to the
United States a convention. made up
largely of native people. drew up a
constitution; a constitu-
lion which is better, in fact than those
of many states which have been
members of the Union for years.
He told of his experiences before
the senate committee on territories
presided over by the hostile and un-
fair Mr.. Beveridge and the difficulty
with which a self respecting man
found in containing himself in the
face of the insults of the self salts
fed gentleman from Indiana and 9th
ers of his ilk. Governor Prince re-
viewed the glorious history of the re-
publican party in the nation from the
dark days of the Civil war through the
period of reconstruction. 1t is the re-
publican party that will control the
government of New Mexico, said the
speaker and we cannot shirk but
must accept the full responsibility for
it's success or failure. New Mexico
had many foes and detractors in 9th
er states and the republican party
must show them that their stories
about this state were lies. The orr
ginal Garden of Eden was located
in New Mexico said the governor, and
(, he quoted from the book of Genesis
to prove his assertion. In the exact
center of New Mexico, at the town
of Manzano, was located the original
apple tree the fruit of which had
caused the eviction of the first family
from the garden. The four rivers
described in Holy writ, he said, were
easily recognized as the San Juan
the Rio Grande, the Gila and the Ric
Pecos. Pointing out the glorious his
tory of New Mexico the speaker sale
there was nothing like it in the
known world. He referred eloquent
ly to the valiant deeds and swift
marches of conquistadores. Nothing
in the history of the world equallet
the marches of Coronado and De Var
gas or the siege of Acoma. Th'
Spanish invaders not only brough
civilization into the new world bu
they also brought Christianity. Th'
speaker closed his address with al
eloquent tribute to President Taft
the republican senate and delegat
in congress to whose constant friend
ship and unceasing efforts New Mex
leo owed the priceless boon of sci
government. All of these men wer
republicans. Statehood was the gif
of the republican party and New Mez
i leo could never be true to herself III
