The reason it is worth while to have a fixed purpose in life is because those who do not have Vaclllate ana invite moods of despair. What one can adapt himself to is not always so clear; but his purpose may be to do well whatever he undertakes-to so conduct himself that he may go rom what he is engaged in to something better. Two elements enter into choice of business-the tastes of the individual and his courage and self reliance. What he is best fitted for may have to be worked out instead of thought out A ready hand and a willing heart go a long way in solv- ing this important problem. The re- uuisite knowledge is the real key to achievement when backed by energetic endeavor. There is no end of oppor- tunities to the ambitious worker who knows he is on the way to distinguish ing development. He does not try to forestaIl the end but is just resolved to do and to dare.

Here is a little bit of advice which is worthy of consideration: Receive your thoughts as guests; but treat your desires as children" It IS not easy of accomplishment, for 1t calls for a self control which few people possess. Nevertheless, this very self control they lack is the real thing the world is in need of. It is no easy mat ter to treat our desires as children; but if they were treated as over-indul, gent parents treat children, We should soon be undone. This is one way of telling us to be the captains of our fate and the masters of our soul IL Is preaching the gospel of restraint, when ie sadIv needed Mastery over self is n sublime attainment; and it counts for every good thing. No one can be great without it; and it is the thing which will make 8 man strong In the face of every trial.

We have been deeply impressed from youth of the sin of taking Gods name in vain; and we have always cast our frowns toward the profane man as the chief of sinners in this respect; but now it seems to us that many more people than We think take the name of God in vain Just think of the peo- pie who attribute to the Lord every sort of afaiction which they through their own acts bring upon themselves. He has fixed the laws of our being, and it is up to us to honor them, or suffer. It makes no difference whether we dishonor them from ignorance or perversity, we bring upon ourselves the affliction consequent upon our conduct. Isn't it taking Gods name in vain to be recoDciled to the aIhlc- tions he puts upon Us when we are putting them upon ourselves. As free choosers. it is We who make mess Of life for ourselves, when the Lord has wilIed that it should be otherwise. Isn't it using the Lords name in vain to charge him with acts of which we ourselves are guilty?

THE MAN WHO TALKS

There is a popular belief that bodies will not sink in water two miles deep; but there is no foundation for such a theory to rest upon. Anything that will sink in a tub of water will sink to the deepest depths, or 31,200 feet hole big enough to drop the worlds highest mountain in and then have 1000 feet of free water above 1t. This hole is near the island Guam in the Pacific ocean. The deeper the sea- water the less life there is in it, the stronger it is with salt, and bodies sinking to these depths never rise never decay; but remain there em- balmed forever. It is specific gravity which has to do with any sinking ob- iect not the atmospheric pressure up- on the water, which at the deepest point of the ocean is 10000 pounds to the square inch. There is little mo- ton. and the temperature is often be- low zero. To sink to the bottom of the sea where the Titanic was wreck ed is to forever remain there. No diver ever worked in more than 160 feet of water, so there is no such thing as recovering the treasures in the Titanic which are now resting more than l0,- 900 feet below the surface of the ocean

Mr.. Malone's early recognition of his
unusual and valuable ability.
Frank Haas has not confined him
self merely 10 the practical develop,
ment and application OF other peo-
! pies ideas to his own work but has
made any number OF original invest
igations along new lines. 1t is prob
able that the first work on coal calori-
meters in this country was done by
him I association with the late Prof.
N. W. Lord in the matter OF High
Humidity for Mine Ventilation" MIR.
|. Haas Is somewhat of a pioneer. and
his ideas on this subject are based on
actual practice ut the mines under his
control. He believes that the satura.
ton OF mine atmosphere with steam
Is. not for the purpose OF furnishing
the. water for wetting the mine, but Is
done 10 prevent evaporation OF waier
naturally in the workings. He says:
theoretically. q place in mine once
thoroughly wetted and ventilated with
n saturated atmosphere will remain
wet Indefinitely. This then is the con-
ditlon which should be attained" lie
claims that in our shallow mines high
humidity does not iniure the men,,
Concerning mine laws, "F. H." be-
lieYes that all legislative measures
should be short and concise and their
enforcement rigid. Facts that are
contained in volumes of matter are
rarely discovered. He lis also of the
opinion that in our endeavors TO sup
ply the miner with plenty of air we
have reached a point where the excess
should be regulated. He believes over
ventilation is becoming danger to
the men.
