Never Settled Questions,

The familiar saying that nothing Is
settled until 1t is settled right ex-
presses only a half truth. Questions
of general and permanent Importance
are seldom finally settled. A very
wise man has said that short Of the
multiplication table there Is no truth
and no fact which must not be proved
over again II it had never been prov
ed, from time to time" Conceptions
of social rights and obligations and the
institutions based upon them continue
unquestoned for long periods as postu-
lates in all discussions upon questions
Of government Whatever conduct con-
forms to them is assumed to be right
Whatever is at variance with them Is
assumed to be wrong. Then a time
comes when with apparent suddenness
the ground Of discussion shifts and the
postulates are denied. They cease to
be accepted without proof. and the
whole controversy in which they were
originally established Is fought over
again.-Senator Root In North Amer
lean Review.

STRENGTH OF HUMAN BONES.
Nor. Powerful In Some Ways Than
the Stanehest Oak.

uuman bones are really tremen-
dousIy strong and possessed OF mar
yelous resisting power Indeed, tue
homes OF the fairest. most delicate
looking woman are stronger thah tue
strongest oak.
OF course bone Is hollow, ana tnat
is one of the chief reasons II resists
sucb extreme weights. For instance
a small bone which is no more than
SQUARE miIimeter in diameter VIII hold
in SUSPENSION without breaking some
thirty five pounds, while stick OF best
oak of similar width will not hoid
more than twenty pounds. Indeed
the average bone Of the average man
IL stronger by one half than that OF
solid oak.
The principle on which our bones are
constructed, being made hollow anu
consequently stronger than II they
were solid and heavier, Is the same
mechanics have followed the world
over Constructive engineers employ
tubes instead of solid cylinders.
In the case of animals thousands or
years ago one reason Of their bulky
frame Is attributed by scientists as
due to the fact their bones were soma
and added to their welght.-Chicago

FER0CIOUS D0LPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known ~
Whale Killers.

There really Is such n sea monster
as the whale killer. 1t Is one or the
largest and most ferocious OF all the
dolphin family. 1t also Is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as
genus by its large size and the conicai
and depressed head, devoid OF beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe-
cially in the males, and the hippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively rev
in number. varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than In any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval sec
ton. The coloraion is striking. the
upper parts and fins being black. while
the lower law, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area Of the under parts
does not, however. extend to the fukes.
but ends posteriorly in q trident, or
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the TANKS
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye. and frequently at
least a purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length Of at least TWEEN
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

LOBSTER AND BUTTERFLY.
Widely Apart In Appearances, They Are
Close Relatives.


You would hardly think 1t to look at
them, yet the lobster is a relative OF
the butterfly. The kinship is not mere
ly that of two members of the animal
kingdom. The lobster and the butter
dy are actually In one and the same
great group of the kingdom, like the
clam and the snail or the whale and
the giraffe, whose spheres Of activity
are so widely separated.
1t is simply. as Darwin pointed out
in the case of all other creatures
great many years ago. that the lobster
and its friends. the crab. the prawn
and the shrimp, chose one method or
life, while the butterfly and Its set
chose another.
So the first group developed charac-
teristics suited to the conditions In
which II lived. including as one Of the
most important, as Its members do

AVIATION TAKES NERVE.
And When That Is Lost the Aeronaut
Should Fly No More.

He who flies constantly must look to
one personal risk. which may vary
according to the characteristics of the
individual. This Is the danger man
may incur by becoming little care
less while in the air There Is the
possibility, In fact that familiarity
may breed not actual contempt. but
IA temporary relaxation of vigilance
and plotting an aeroplane needs such
watchfulness. such minute precision,
that any ''staleness" on the part Of
the man at the wheel or lever repre-
sents a peril that is very real.
The pilot who fies great deal
should remind himself constantly that
there Is no room for error In the
handling of aircraft
A loss of confidence not difficult to
understand is suffered by an air man
sometimes after he has been the victim
Of a serious fall. and In similar cir
cumstances a jockey, or, say, racing
motorist, may be robbed of nerve.
When a pilot does lose judgment as
the outcome Of a bad mishap his
wisest course is to cease to fly. With
q broken nerve he is a menace 10
himself and to others as well.-Claude
Grahame White in National Review.

Profitable Roses.

A Matter of Gender.

The bell of a Scottish church was
giving out a very poor tone. and a
committee was appointed to inquire
as to what was wrong and to report
on the best means Of putting it right
After an examination the members
were divided In their opinion. and the
kirk officer. who was in attendance
with the keys. was asked his view.
Fine. A ken what's wrang WI the
bell" he remarked. Its a she-yin,"
meaning that it was Of the feminine
gender. Pressed to explain, he added,
Its tongues owre lang-lt's needin'

to be really the fault The tongue had
become loosened to the extent Of an
inch or so and was overlapping the
curve at the rim and therefore not

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is a story OF
man who believed that he was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take nourishment. How can the
dead eat and drinkT' he asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the
delusion must soon become actuality-
he would die of starvation. The stran-
gest ruse was tried. Half dozen at
tendants, draped in ghOstly white. crept
silently in single file into the room
adjoining his and with the door open
sat down where he could see them at
a hearty meal. Here. who are these
peopleT' inquired the patient. Dead
men," answered the doctor. "What!'
said the other DO dead men eatf''
ITO be sure they do, as you see for
yourself" was the answer. well,
said the corpse, IF that Is so I'll join
them. for I'm starving" The spell
was broken. and he sat down and ate
like forty famished men.

For the Earache.

81 am afraid | have greatly inter
fered with my own practice said n
celebrated aurist. by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many Of my friends:
At the first symptoms Of earache let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermOst. Fold thick
towel and tuck 1t around the neck {;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water. Continue doing this for
fifteen or twenty minutes. The water
will fill the ear ori6ce and flow over on
the towel Afterward turn over the
head. let the water run out and plug
the ear with warm glycerin and cotton.
This may be done every hour until re-
lief is obtained. Ii is an almost inva-
riable cure and has saved many cases
of acute Inflammation. The water
should be quite warm. but not too hot"

History Made by a Postage Stamp.

A postage stamp which played a part
in history is told about by NJ. Bunau-
Varilla in his book on the Panama
canal. The incident occurred when
the discussion over the relative merits
Of the Panama and Nicaragua routes
was at its height. Bunau-Varilla had
been working vigorously for the Pan
ANA route, making use of the two
arguments Of less cost and immunity
from active volcanoes. One day he
recalled that Nicaragua had issued
handsome stamp. showing a volcano
In full activity. He at once sent to
the dealers in foreign stamps In Wash
ington, and obtained ninety of these
stamps, which he forwarded to the
ninety senators, along with bits OF
paper bearing the words. Postage
stamp of the republic Of Nicaragua;
an official witness Of the volcanic &C
tivities Of Nicaragua" The catastrophe
at st. Pierre took place about this
time, to deepen the impression Of vol
canic danger. and the Panama route
was adopted by the narrow margin Of
four votes.-New York Post.
