There were two boys there, office

the looks of as much of him as was
visible-and such as that. The boy

the average. Finally the merry kid

to his companion and exclaimed, part

How II Feels to Freeze.

Freezing to death is preceded by
drowsiness which makes the end pain
less, the body actually feeling warm
and going comfortably to sleep. Ex-
periments have been made with ami
mails to show just how freezing to
death proceeds. In one of these ex-
perimeuts, in which the animal was
placed in temperature of from 125
to $50 degrees below zero, the breath
ing and heart beats were at first
quickened, the organic heat of the
body actually rising above the nor
NAL, which is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
This showed sudden and intense eff
fort on the part of the functions to
preserve the body's temperature. Then
violent heart action gave out sudden
ly, and death came when the tenn
perature of the body dropped to IL
degrees Observation-Disclosures Me-
chanics.

SENSE OF SMELL WEAKENING
Man No Longer, Needs 1t in Tracking
Enemies and Hunting
for Food.

Scientists believe that when the kiss
loses its primary function and becomes
merely symbol of affection-and 1t is
to destroy mans olfactory sense. This,
along with the fact that men no long
or need this sense in tracking their
enemies and hunting for food, means
that the sense OF smell is being rapidly
destroyed. It is gradually weakening
with every generation, so that in sew
eral generations most men and women
may not know that their forefathers
had such thing as an olfactory sense.

BIG PRICE FOR SENTENCE
Pennsylvania Judge Gets $4,000 For
Three words--"Stop, Look,
Listen"

More or less fanciful tales are told
OF the price per word paid to famous
writer's. Rudyard Kipling has receiv'
cd ~ much as dollar q word. But
there was q lawyer who became chief
justice OF the supreme court Of Penn.
sylvania whose rate is unsurpassed.
He Is said to have received g..

words at this rate. however. but those
words are familiar to any one who
has crossed a right-of-way. They are
Stop. Look, Listen"
There are several versions OF the
origin OF this crossing warning, but
that it was the work of the attorney
is the correct one. At any rate he re-
ceived the money.
Between thirty and forty years ago
a lawyer named Paxson. who eventu-
ally became one of Pennsylvania s
most famous judges, was counsel for
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad.
Later he was it's receiver during the
earlier reorganization which preceded
that of 1894. While Paxon was it's
counsel the inadequacy of the old-time
crossing-sign as legal warning and
the danger of persons passing 1t un-
needed became a matter of serious
discussion. Paxon was asked by the
railroad to devise an inscription that
should fulfil all the requirements-a
sign that would warn passers-by and
would legally protect the railroad IL
they did not heed.
1t seemed like a very simple thing,
but it's legal aspect had many compli-
cations. 1t involved laborious re-
searches extending over many weeks
and reference to innumerable prece-
dents established since the dawn of
the stage-coach era After the legality
of the matter had been settled the
solution was to decide on the smallest
number OF words that would be suffl-
cient without crowding the sign. They
had to be short and SO few that they
might be read and understood at a
glance, even by the most unintelli-
gent
Many forms were tried and reject
ed by Paxon before he submitted

TO GET KNOWLEDGE.
EVERY MAN SHOULD EXERCISE
MIND BY THINKING.
Learning Comes Through Our Senses,
Which Are to the Mind and
Body What Reporter Is to
Newspaper.

Whatever knowledge we have we
have obtained it in two ways, Thomas
Drier writes in the Nautilus The
first is Inheritance. The second is ac-
QUESTION. With that which we OBJ
tanned from our ancestors we had
nothing to do. We are not concerned
with the past. We are vitality inter
ested in the present.
All knowledge must be obtained to-
day by one or more of the FIVE senses.
Through the avenues of seeing, hear
ing, touching, smelling and tasting
come all our sensations. The quality
and number of sensations depend up
on the kind of sense organs we have.
The man with weak eyes can never
obtain through sight the knowledge
obtained by the man with eyes that
are strong. The man whose sense OF
taste has been impaired, say, by indul.
gence, cannot obtain the sense of sat-
isfaction of the man whose taste is
cultivated and trained to report ac-
curately.
Our senses are to the mind and body
what reporters are to a great news
paper. Each has special department
One covers police, another the drama
and entertainment, and so on. Each
Is a specialist. The more efficient,
the better trained, the more educated
each reporter is in his special de-
partment Of reporting, the stronger
will be the stories and articles he will
turn in to his paper.
The strength and power of the pa
per is but combined strength and
power of the work of the reporters. :
The truthfulness of the paper is the
sum OF the truthfulness of reporters.
The new story written by the re-
porter with weak eyes will lack
strength and accuracy just as the eyes
of the reporter lacked strength and
accuracy. AS the matter which is
printed in the newspaper is the re-
suit of the work of the reporters so
is the matter printed on the mind the
work Of the five senses.
To build the muscles of the body we
require wholesome food and proper ex-
ercise. No matter how wholesome the
food, no matter how much or how lit
tie we eat, we cannot have strong,
healthy bodies unless we take proper
exercise.
So with the mind. No matter how
rich the mental food the senses may
bring to the mind, no good can be ac-
complished unless the mind is exer-
cised, is used in serving some pur-
pose, is employed in doing some work.
Let US use our newspaper figure to
illustrate. If newspaper employed
the greatest staff of reporters in the
world, IL each was a master in his
line, II each one had no superior any
where, If each wrote stories and arti-
cles that had never been equaled, If
the stories sent in were such as to
command the interest of the entire
city-if these reporters did all and
were all things and these articles were
printed IN the paper in the most at
tractive typographical manner, and the
papers were then stored in a vault in
the basement, would that newspaper
have any influence, would it's circula-
ton grow, would advertisers clamor
for space in its columns?
