Green Peas Are Good tor
Bashful Boys, but Make
Giesiing Girls Giggie
More. .

/ An English scisutist has found thai
green peas should not be fed to giggiinl
girls, - they tend to make them s1ggis
more than ever.
They should. however. be given to bash
full boys This English scientist slsc
says that vegetables. OF all kinds anect
the human temperament and that BY {
diet accordingly . persons whole nature
may often Be changed.
OF all the many means, from cosmetics
to metaphysics. BY which mankind has
thought to at itself to its ideals, nons
has been more constantly fashionable
than diet. From the day that our fore
father ate the apple on the banks OF
the Euphrates. In the belief that by %
doing he would make q better map OF
himself, his graceless children down To
the present hour have been experiment.
ing with their food to the same end.
And now comes along science. and not
only sravely indorses the dietary fables
of our forbears. but. moreover. goes .
step farther and tells Us that We may
remodel our temperaments and disposi-
tons to any desired style by the simple
practice Of leguminotherapy.
Leguminotherapy, according to Clinord
Howard, II the latest scientific novelty.
II Ii q big name for vegetable diet-not.
however. the ordinary helter-skelter veg
etable diet, but scientific diet, whereby
the exact physiological and tempera-
mental relations Of each vegetable to
the human system are carefully deter
mined.
Green peas, for example. according to
this new science, cause frivolity. and
should be withheld from young women
with a congenital tendency to hirt. On
the other hand, they are excellent for
wall flowers and pessimists. and should
be given IN generous helpings to BASH
full boys.

Experts Are Engaged In

You probably do not know that one Of

most important-that govern your daily

Prof. Virgil Snyder Of London. who 10
an authority on the law Of probabilities.
says II It were expressed in figures 1t
would be . fraction whose numerator
expresses the number Of favorable ways
IN event may happen and whose denom-
thing can happen.
Under the law Of probabilities things
will happen in the same proportion that
their probabilities cali for. This was
proved many years ago by the Bernoulli
brothers At Bern. Switzerland. They
took 1000 perfect coins and tossed them
In the air 1000 times. A careful count
was made Of the number Of coins that
fell heads 1t each experiment.
Insurance Companies Follow Rule.
AT the conclusion Of the test-and It
was certainly . fair one-it was found
that practically a. many coins fell heads
a. tails.

termined BY tho law Of probabilities For

CORRUGATED SHIPS
TO FLOAT THE SEA
latest Departure IN Marine Build
ing Said to b a Improve.
ment On Present Types.

Loodon, Oct. 11.-Corrugatsd steamships
shortly wiii bslaAoat a. cargo vessels.
Ono Of the typs. an entirely nsw D.
partprs ID ship design. has just CON.
plstsd her trials, and six others are 70
b built ~ quickly - possible.
This latest competitor In the world 9
shipping lists. when submerged to her
iosdline. has very much the appearances
of the ordinary freightsr.
But beneath the load line. from stem
to stern. there runs . double eorruga-
tion Of her plates, two outward curves.
with Q corresponding curve between
them. These curves run out At bow and
stern and merge into ordinary lines.
Anybody who has handled . sheet Of
corrugated iron knows that he may safe
iy dance on 1t while It - supported only
At the extreme ends. and that the un-
corrugated sheet may be depressed with
Q forenngsr. Precisely on this principle
the corrugated ship gains In strength BY
her curved sides
She exposes moro surface to the water.
and. according to the laws Of resistance
~ hitherto expounded should need mors
driving power. In practice she has been
found. however, to require notably less
power-that Is, fusl-to attain . given
speed than ordinary ships.
Also. by reason Of her strengthened
hull. she II enabled to dispense with many
tons of dead weight in her frameS OF
ribs; while the stringer-plates. or longi.
tudinal frames. are practically done away
with. This. together with her two out
ward-besring curves. gives her a roomier
hull, and enables her to carry consider
ably more cargo than the normal ship.
Vibration IL practically eliminated. and
she behaves In . rough sea. whether
ahead or abeam. with exceptional steadi-
ness. and when called upon Will carry In
enough to bring the hat-sided ship to de-
struction.

WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED TOKNOW THAT
Thin Objects Can Be
Only One Color and
the Foam Of Black Ink
Is White.

Perhaps you nsvsr stopped % conssdse
that all foam 10 white Even the foam
OF the blackets Ink II white. Along ths
that the foam II white, no matter how
deep the blue Of the water may be. The
reason for this ID that We see all objects
Tby reflected light. II they reflect al
the rays they appear white; II they ab-
sofb all the rays they seem to Be black.
When beaten into q froth the little bub-
bles reflect all the light from their sur
faces. for their extreme thinness makes
them practically nothing but surface.
and thus they are white.
For the same reason any colored stone
shows white when 1t 10 ground to . pow

duce II to small grains and these will
appear white. because their surfaces
now all reflect the same light II the

or drill point. the effect win be . light
colored streak.
Frost and Snow.
The same point Is illustrated In the
appearance Of the tiny particles Of dew
on the spiders web a. compared with
the larger drops suspended from the
tips of blades Of grass. All the more
striking 10 the difference when the cold
has converted dew and water into frost
and ice. The frost sparfsles from the
innumerable facets Of the crystals, while
the Ice shows . uniformly shining sur
face. Frost and snow are white because
Of the smallness Of their particles and
the great number Of their rejecting sur

DEBTS TO NEWSPAPERS.

1t is a popular fallacy that you
cant make a man pay for a news
paper II IL is sent after the time
paid for has expired" A great
many people believe this, and
great many talk it who are simply
trying to make themselves believe
1t. There are no special laws re-
garding newspapers. A debt owing
to newspaper has exactly the same
status as any other kind of a debt.
Now let us illustrate. Milk is sold
in this town at so much a quart and
the patron buys a card of tickets
from the dealer. After the card
of tickets is used up change may not
be handy, and the purchase of an
other card is delayed. The milk
man, accommodating soul, continues
to leave the quart bottle of milk
each morning, on the back door
step. The householder Cor the
householder's wife, or the hired
girl, or one of the children) takes
the milk in and it is used. After n
while the milkman mildly suggests
that ne would like to have pay for
his milk. Suppose the householder
should say: Il don't owe you
cent. | paid for fifty quarts and
you should have stopped leaving it
when the time was out. 1t is
against the law to trust a man for
milk, and | will not pay it." The
milkman would tell you that you
were a fool and something of
scoundrel, and he would proceed to
make an effort to collect, and If you
are worth anything he would sue
ceed. The cases are parallel. A
newspaper is a commodity that costs
somebody work and money to pro-
duce, and the producer is entitled
to nay for his product. If, instead
Of having your paper delivered at
the postoffice, you bought it of a
noTsbUr. and he left it on the door
step. would you not have to pay the
bog, T. You accepted the paper? You
bet your very bottom dollar you
would! Because TIE newsboy is
grown up, and is a newsman does
it alter the law? No, sir. Now,
take it from us as straight goods
If you have accepted a paper, have
taken it out of your mail box, you
can be made to pay for it if you
are responsible. AS a matter of
fact it is the irresponsible man who
puts up that plea. In an experience
of more than quarter of a century
as a publisher We cannot remember
that a really respectable, responsible
property holding citizen ever made
such a plea. The responsible citi-
Zens seldom have newspaper
forced on them" They pay their
bills.

The spectacle of a buxom wife squalhng loudly as the cOrsets were drawn around her had such a good effect upon scolds and lazy housewives that headmen from other villages sent special envoYs asking for the loan or the wonderful apparatus to punish their own confirmed shreWs."-Lit- erarV Notes.
