careless. Criticism Of newspapers
should be Of one kind and none other
than the editor would use in con

here would be no bitterness. but
useful exchange Of views. And with
such criticism progress will be made
because such criticism Is within the

Let editors and writer's be gentle

Judges have due regard to the

mission be efficient?
1t is reasonable 10 suppose that
the Public Service commission, like
the board of prison commissioners,
or other state boards, must admin
lister state laws and have power to
enforce them. A commission should
have ample power to interpret the
laws under which it exists and acts.
There is always that tribunal Of
final appeal, the supreme court, so
that litigants are fully protected.
There was a time, not long ago
either, when the Vermont Pubic
Service commission. then the State
Railroad commission, had no eff

and recommend. 1t was emasculat-

Ice Cream and a Nerve.

Why do we sometimes get an ache in
the nose when eating ice cream There
is Il nerve running along the back OF
the nose which doctors call the an
terror palatne nerve This has q

nasal cavity and another branch run
ming along the palate The ends OF
these branches join through finer
branches which run through openings
in he palate near the front teeth
When we get some ice cream in the
mouth and keep If in front for mo.

The Life of a Drop of Water.

\ German professor named Meinar
dus has amused himself with calculat-
ing how long a drop of water stays in
the ocean before it is evaporated and
how soon il returns to the sea. Calcu-
lating he does not say how-the total
evaporation from the surface Of the
ocean and estimating the total volume
of water in the oceans, drop OF water
entering the ocean will stay there 3, AGO
years provided 1t awaits its turn to be
evaporated However, the professor
admits that the surface water stands
good chance of getting ahead Of its
turn. The average stay out OF the
ocean is only twelve days before il
has fallen In rain and run back again
to the sea Boston Globe.

How Adsman islanders Protect Their
Dead From Evil Spirits

Strange is the burial service among
the ALBANIAN islanders II is the Gus
tom of the islanders to drop the bodies
of their parents into the sea at the end
OF ropes and leave them there until
nothing remains but the bones. which
they then gather and hang from the
roofs of their hntS.
