From the Pathfinder
 Even scientific thought moves in cir cles. The ancient idea was that beat is substance an element. Then came the theory that heat is only vibration or waves set up the ether. And now some of the scientists are going paeh to the ancient idea again.
 Prof. H. l.. Calledar, one of the lead ing members of the British association, in an address before that famous body, announced the conclusion that after all what we call "heat' is probably only the energy manifested by d real and indestructible substance which is the actual heat, just as stream of water carries the energy that enables 1t to turn a water wheel This new theory is in line with the modern theory of electricity.

same servants amount to more than S52 a month."
 Foodstuffs such as appear upon the ta- bles of the English and American resi- dents have risen in cost about 50 per cent over those of five years ago.
 The Indian housekeeper has great ad- vantage over the American one, even with these advanced prices. so far as the ac- tual cost of food is concerned, for she pays only 14 cents a dozen for eggs, or perhaps 16 in the scarce season: from s to 12 cents pound for beef, cents for mutton. cents for veal and II cents for pork. but as she has so large retinue of servants to provide for her household bills are at least as great as those of her sister at home.

 The servant question is so much in abeyance in China as yet that the cost of service offsets that of rent, and the Amer ican woman will perhaps insist nov ing to China al the earliest possible mo- ment when she learns that Chinese cook, warranted to serve three persons with perfectly edible viands, is to be had for s1O month.

Bonfire Time

From the Maryvile (MoD Tribune
 It's bonfire time now, and the fra grance of burning leaves fills the air these evenings. Every hou2 aholder is saving at noon; Now Johnny, hurry right home from school and rake the yard and well burn the leaves tonight. Goodness knows, they're all over -ycry- thing; looks as if nobody lived here; you can hardly see over the piles, and they're always blowing up on the front aorch."
 And then Johnny. With reluctance and a hig rake, gathers up the fallen glory of the trees and piles high the ma i terial for the fire. At supper time ne has blisters all over his hands md am tcipetion in his heart and he can't hard ly wait to get away from the table to touch er off
 Then the neighbors look out out the vim dows and glare and wonder what that Jones boy will do next; what his mother means by letting him build up a big fire at night with the wind blowing a gale right this way. And then they sniff and say he might at least have left the rub ber shoes out of his programme. Then they make remarks about the lace cur tains being all smelled up and probably will have to be laundered again.

The Cooper"

There are two theories as to the
source of the term 'cop" or "copper""
the familiar name for an officer Of the
law in the mouth of the mischievous
gamin. One derives it from the letters
C. o. P.-central Office police-but the
other and more usual explanation Of
the word is that it referred to the
eight point star made Of copper and
surrounded by copper ring worn by
the Metropolitan police Of New York
in the late fifties. This badge, a huge
affair. which was fastened to the but
tonhole by a chain about four inches
long. was later superseded by special
badge Of smaller size.
