remperatures OF VoIeanoea.

Scientists have recently secured an
accurate measurement OF the temper
ature OF boiling lava in a crater. The
experiment was a very dangerous one,
and 1t was considered a triumph OF
precaution no lives were sacrificed in
making the test.
The crater of Killauea In Hawaii
was selected for examination. The
work progressed very slowly. For a
long time II was impossible to obtain
results, but after several thermome-
tiers had been destroyed a pyrometer
was substituted to advantage. The
temperature recorded was 1,0l0 de-
grees centigrade, which is the same
as 1850 degrees Fahrenheit. Iron is
still unmelted at this heat, but gold,
silver and copper become a molten
mass at lower temperature.-Har-
per's Weekly.

THINK TOO MUCH OF MONEY
Many Persons Lose Chance of Happy
Marriage by Exageerating the
Value of Wealth.

Scores Of people lose their chances
of being happily married through max
ing an unnecessary obstacle of mon
ey. The Importance of it is often ex-
aggerated. Many a man hesitates to
propose to a girl because of his small
income. Very often much misery, mis-
understanding, and tangled lives result
from the silence. More unfortunate
love affairs are the result of what has
not been said than of spoken words.
When man has a small, sure in
come, and a prospect of increase,
there is no legitimate reason for his
not speaking of his love; no reason,
for that matter, to prevent marriage.
People are so desperately afraid,
though, of beginning married life in a
small way. They fear the sacrifices
which they will be called upon to make
of the criticism to which they will
be subjected. Many years of happi-
ness are lost in this way. It is such
a mistake for young people to want to
start marriage in the state that their
parents are ending it.
To delay marriage until "comfor-
table" income is available is to prove
something lacking in the love.-An'
swers.

In Praise of Courage.

Certain virtues are divided from
vices by so narrow line that we must
discern very clearly to see the differ
ence. Few men can distinguish pride
from vanity; perseverance from stub
bornness; economy from avarice. The
same is true of courage as distin-
guished from effrontery. The eOurag-
eous man must have ambition, not
merely dream of what he would like
to have. The audacious have been
found fault with for their brutality in
overcoming all obstacles-but force is
necessary to accomplish any real pur-
pose.-Chicago American.

HIS RECOVERY WAS SUDDEN
Passes to the Ball Game Worked a
Speedy Cure of Mr.. Jack
sons Ailments.

Dan Lane, the well-known stock
broker, and also a director of the
Armory club, was commenting on the
actions of a fighter in some nearby
town. The fighter in question had APP
parently been all in up to the last
round, when he came back and put
out his man.
what do you make of it?" asked
the friend.
TITS like a friend of mine named
Jackson" replied Mr.. Lane. Jack
sons wife had a habit of thinking up
little odd jobs for him to do on his
day off, so he concocted scheme by
which he should be sick on his day of
rest.
Everything went we'll until after
dinner and he was allowed to stay in
bed. Early in the afternoon his wife
entered the room and asked him if he
didn't feel a little better.
mo" he answered, I'm sick
man; too sick to go puttering around
the house, putting on screen doors
and other such things"
at isn't that, DEAR" she replied,
''but Jones is out here with two
passes for the ball game"
Il, er-er, am, er, 1 am feeling a
little better" he said, getting out of
bed.-Boston Traveller.

LITTLE NELL WAS ORIGINAL
Deouincey's oour Lady Of Tears Did
Not Suggest the Character to
Dickens.

It is remarked Of Charles Dickens
that no modern writer was less open
to the charge of having received sug-
gestions from the characters and plots
Of his novels from others than was
be. and this for the reason that his
plots and characters we're chosen, not
from books, but from people and in
cidents in the living world about him.
Some time ago, however, an English
author thought that he had found in
DeQuincey's essay, Our Lady Of
Tears" the suggestion for the beauti-
full psthos of Little Nell, in "The Old
Curiosity Shop" A little investiga-
ton. however, showed that De-
Quinceys essay was published in 1916,
while "The Old Curiosity Shop" was
published FIVE years before. The ex-
tract here given from DeQuincey's es-
say is interesting:
"The eldest Of the three sisters is
named Mater Lachrymarum, our Lady
of Tears. The sister it is that carries
keys more than papal at her girdle,
which open every cottage and every
palace. She, TO my knowledge safe
all last summer by the bedside Of the
blind beggar, him that so often and
so gladly / talked with, whose pious
daughter, eight years old, with the
sunny countenance, resisted the temp
tations of play and village mirth, to
travel all day long on dusty roads
with her afflicted father. For this did
God send her a great reward. In the
springtime of the year, and whilst yet
her own spring was budding. He
, called her to himself. But her blind
father mourns for ever over her; still
he dreams at midnight that the little
guiding hand is locked within his own,
and still he wakens to a darkness that
is now within a second and deeper
darkness

Better Keep the Boy.

At nightfall the junior partners ex-
ultation of the day changed to chagrin
and he clamored noisily for the errand
boys dismissal.
Better think it over" the senior
partner advised.
why waste time in thinking" the
junior retorted, when he's got to go?
Here 1 am, lying awake every night
for a week planning an effective win
dow decoration, which is turned into a
laughing stock the first day by the
stupidity of that boy, who leaves three
yards of blue wooden dust rag draped
around silver tankards and trays of
diamonds"
WELL" said the elder jeweler,
people stopped and looked, didn't
they?"
Eyes, but what of it? That dust
rag?" growled the junior.
That's why | advise you to keep
the boy" advised the senior mildly. IF
it hadn't been for him / am afraid no
body would have looked at ALL"

RIGHT CHILDHOOD is MODEST
Wcli-Bred Younester Does Not Think
That II Knows Everything,
Says Ruskln.

The frst character Of right child
hood is that II is modest. A we'll
bred child does not think It can teach
its parents, or that It knows every
thing It may think its father and
mother know everything-perhaps
that all grown-up people know every
thing; very certainly it is sure that
1t does not. And It is always asking
questions. and wanting to know more.
Well. that is the first character Of a
good and wise man at his work. To
know that he knows very little; to
perceive that there are many above
him wiser than he, and to be always
asking questions, wanting to learn,
not TO teach No one ever teaches
well who wants to teach, or governs
we'll who wants to govern; It is an
old saying (Plato's, but ! know not
if his. first), and as wise as old.
Then, the second character of right
childhood is to be faithful. Perceiv-
ing that it's father knows best what
is good for 1t, and having found al
ways, when It has tried its own way
against his, that he was right and it
was wrong, noble child trusts him
at last wholly, gives him its hand.
and will walk blindfold with him, If
he bids it. And that is the true char
acter of all good men also, as ODE
dent workers, or soldiers under cap
tains.-Ruskin.

Influenza.

The tin had crumbled in a gray
dust, but the plumber was not in the
least nonplused.
1T caught cold" he said. That's all.
Tin is very liable to catch cold if it
gets in a temperature under 60 de-
grees. AS a rule 1t RECEIVERS, but
tin cold often turns to influenza, and
then the case is hopeless. Nothing can
be done. The tin loses its luster, de-
Gays, and finally crumbles to gray
powder like this here.
These tin colds are contagious. A
tin dipper will give cold to a sauce
pan. and lineup has been known to
contaminate an organ pipe.
only pure tin catches cold. For
that reason, when tin is to occupy an
exposed position or to encounter a
low temperature, we alloy it with
lead. Only alleged tin is free from
influenza"
