In this day when dogs are muzzled
and chickens are frequently kept out
of the neighbors' gardens electric
companies should be willing to In
sulate their currents and keep them
from eating up water pipes and the

An English hotelkeeper stigmatize

Yankees" as excessively mean be-
cause no matter how wealthy they
are, they want their moneys worth
every time. In other words, Amer
leans who do not submit to being
plucked, are mean In the eyes of those
who are unwilling to give them their
moneys worth. Cheerfulness In addt
ton to willingness to be cheated Is
rather a startling standard to set,

For years past the sugar growers
In Hawaii have been Obliged In order
to maintain the fertility of their sugar
lands, to import large quantities of
potash from Germany. The Stussfurt
rock found in Germany contains near
ly ~ per cent Of pure potash. 1t is
the largest known source of supply
Late investigations carried on by
chemists under the direction of DR..
e. V. Wilcox, head of the Federal Ag.
riculture Station IN Honolulu, have de-
veloped new and important source
of potash supply. In the Hawaiian
Gazette Of May DR.. Wilcox an
nounces that the ordinary black vol.
canic sand, or lava cinder, millions Of
tons Of which are deposited near the
extinct craters In the Sandwich Is
lands, Is found to yield from 2 to I
per cent Of potash. The potash is
not in a readily soluble form and
disintegrates slowly, but the sand 1t
self will serve to loosen and lighter

feeding the soil for several years aftei
admixture. The commercial value O
the sand for fertilizing purposes, ow
ing to the potash impregnation, is es
timated at IS or Sc per ton, and it il
available at slight cost for carriage

MEANING OF PHILOSOPHY.

Philosophy is, as somebody has
said. merely more than usually de-
termined effort to think clearly. Hu.
man nature seems to have been en-.
dowed with restless curiosity about
the great problems of existence. Most
of us do more or less desultory think.
ing about them, and to that extent
are philosophers. The ancient Creeks
were the first to consider the prob
lens serious and they brought to bear
on them the keenest sort of intelli
gence. Since their time other keen
minds In all ages have been concerned
with them. When we get a new idea,
for instance, we often feel as if we
had known 1t all the time, only It
had never come to the surface before
in our minds and been recognized be-
fore. Does this mean that somehow
all fragments Of It come to conscious
ness? We describe q certain table as
smooth. But looked at through q
microscope 1t seems rough. A still
more powerful glass might radically
change its appearance. Which is the
real table? What is behind tha data
that our senses give us? We wonder
where we come from and what the
real meaning of life is. These ant
similar problems come up at times IL
the minds Of most persons, whether
students of philosophy or not, say
the Kansas City Star. A considera
ton Of such questions certainly tend
to widen the horizon, and to give I
possible background to existence.
