A Negative Blessing.

The one thing that will melt

Wheu an ordinary man is up

when things are coming his way,
and he is on the winning side he
feels that he can suit himself.

Growing Old Gracefully"

II is a help to keep young in

a funny side, if we hunt for 1t

hair and wrinkles time always
brings them; but the spirit need
not grow old and morbid and
gloomy. A happy, youthfulspirit

thing we should do is to keep the
love element alive; we must culti-
vate sympathy and kindness. and

we shall find them. We should

be diseased. We must not brood;
we must not worry-only the
serene soul is strong, and no hui
man being is stronger than the

TIMING AT OLYMPIC GAMES
Novel Electric Method Used in Some
Races to Get Exact Time-Device
Settles All Disputes. !.

At the Olympic games at Stockholm
there was used a novel electric
method for timing the runners in some
OF the races, so as to get the exact
time made by the winner, and also to
decide who crossed the line first, even
when the difference was very SMALL
The starter gave the signal by firing
a pistol and this was connected by
electric wires with two stop watches
and these commenced to run for TAX
ing the time. The start and finish
were at the same point, and across the
track light string was stretched be-
tween poles and the-s string was also
connected with the stop watches for
stopping them. The first conner broke
the string when crossing the line so
that the watches were stopped and the
exact time between start and finish
could be seen. Breaking the string
also served to work an electric device
for the shutter of a camera which was
mounted just on the finish line and
above the judges stand, so that the
photographer had an image of the win
ner when crossing the finish line
This method is very useful in settling
all disputes.-La Nature, Paris. ~

Mr.. Radford's discovery" said DR..
Richard Rathbun, assistant secretary
of the Smithsonian institution. in
charge Of the United States national
museum. I'VE know this explorer
very well. The object of his expedi-
ton was to visit the home of the
wood bison in the almost unknown
region of northwestern Canada, west
OF the Slave river, and north Of the
lower Peace river. This expedition
started In 1909 and has included track
surveys over many hundreds of miles,
and furnished Mr.. Radford the oppor-
tunity of closely studying the wood
bison in its haunts, and of making the
first recorded observations on this
rare animal in life.
Eighteen specimens we're seen by
him during, the first part of his ex-
ploration tour, and under a permit
from the Canadian government one
was killed by him. 1t weighed 2,402
pounds, and both the skin and skele-
ton were preserved. The skin was
presented by Mr. Radford to the
Provincial museum at Edmonton, AL
berta, while the skeleton was obtained
by the National museum at Washing
ton.
"This skeleton and the skull are
very fine specimens, and the skeleton
is probably the only one of a wild
buffalo in any museum. Our informa-
ton was that Mr. Radford had not re-
turned, and that his expedition con-
tinued into the Slave lake country
and beyond. This is the first word
we have received from him since this
specimen was obtained"
