The Light Touch.
Iicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Every now and then an editor complains
OF the decay Of the essay, and one even
went so far some months ago as to offer
a special prize for contributions in tie
essay form. He admitted later that. all
the manuscripts submitted had been re-
jected; the fault he found with most of
them was that they We're anemic.
One suspects that responsibility for The
decay of the essay rests quite as much
with the reader as with the writer. \
historian charged with perpetrating SO
dull pages covering the history of Eng
land from the earliest times sought to
prove his versatility by including concise
estimates of English writers. OF Lamb
he said that, while his writings were very
light indeed. many people found them en-
joyable. Unconsciously this historian ex-
pressed a widespread notion-namely, that
to be light and deft is an easy accom-
plishment scarcely worth mentioeing. Yet
1t really requires extraordinary skill and
mastery of ones subject to be light, and
the proof of this fact is to be found i'm
the countless aneElic essays one reads.
The writer's, like many of their read
ers confuse triviality of subject matter
with lightness of touch and achieve MOTH
ing better than inanity. The essay writer
must address a cultivated and discrimi-
mating circle; he must feel that his good
things are appreciated.

Preventing Insanity.
rom the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
The interesting and important confer
ence for mental hygiene which closed
Saturday has emphasized the compare
lively new thought of prevention. One of
the chief reasons, If not the chief, why
public opinion is languid on this subject
is that the layman looks upon insanity
almost superstitiously, as something in
herent, arbitrary and generally incurable
He does not realize that insanity is men,
tai disease, varying widely in it's causes
its approach. it's nature. He does not
forms are preventable. He does not real
ize that in many cases early observation
and treatment mean cure. He avoids ty-
phoid by care as to his food and drink
He tends off phthisis by fresh air, care
full feeding and other simple methods.
But as yet he wholly lacks a realization
that diseases of the mind. or many Of
them can and should be dealt with on
preventive lines. The movement for men,
tai hygiene is one of the most important
phases of conservation in this land of in
tense living. 1t must be accelerated by
the wide circulation of the very grave
facts of the extent of mental diseases and
also by the education of the public to
realize that insanity is subject to pre-
ventive science, and that an enormous ag-
gregate of heart-breaking human misery
can be avoided by multiplying and per-
fecting our agencies for discovering and
dealing with mental diseases in their early
stages.

NOVEL AUTO CONTEST.
Non Motor Stop, Day and Night Run
From Chicago to Boston.

The Chicago Automobile Club, encour-
aged by the success of the 1912 Elgin road
races, which it promoted in conjunction
with the Elgin Automobile Road Race
Association, has determined to venture
into the promotion of other motor con-
tests. and announcement has been made
of one of the most novel relia bility runs
ever attempted non-motor stop. night
and-day trip from Chicago to Boston by
way of New York city. This will be run
from June % to 2S and it is figured that
the trip can be made in three and one
half days. AS roughly outlined. it will be
a non-stock event run under grade 3 of
the A. A. 4. rules.
There will be a change Of drivers and
observers both morning and night, and it
will be necessary to secure a special train
to follow the tour to carry the relief
crews and the officials The rules will re-
quire that the motors be kept running
continuously, even when taking on fuel
and water, in order to escape penaliza-
ton. It has been suggested that the entry
fee be placed at 5000, which would give
the entrant the choice Of starting one.
two or three cars. Cooperation with
other clubs along the route will be sought
and the Bay State Automobile Association
already has proffered it's services. 1t is
thought Buffalo, Cleveland. New York and
other big cities will do likewise

Spoken English.
ew York Tribun


People with discriminating ears. of
whom there are probably some left in
New York. will heartily and gratefully
agree with the board of superintendent
of the school system that something
needs to be done for the improvement of
spoken English. We have heard much in
recent years about the reform of spelling,
but little about the protection of pronun-
citation. Well meaning gentlemen have
striven industriously to persuade us that
life will no longer be worth living if We
do not write thru for through and
mist" for missed But where are the
vigflant guards who will save from being
lost in the vocal shuttle the "r'' in girl
final "r' from raw and saw and
insist upon the recognition of the exist
ence of the ''g' in the suffix ing" and
in brief, prevent a singularly rich and
musical spoken language from degen-
Grating into a colorless and monotonous
jargon?
Nearly fifty years ago the greatest
philoIogist Of his time warned the Eng
disappearing world against what he
fittingly called phonetic decay. There is,
as Max Muller then pointed out, a class
of phonetic changes which take place in
various languages, and which are the
result of nothing else than sheer lazi-
ness. There is manly, sharp and
definite articulation, and there is one
which is effeminate, vague and indis-
tinct The former requires the eXertfon
of intelligent will and muscular energy.
The latter is the result Of carelessnesS and
laziness. Phonetic decay in a language
sets in when those who use ii admit the
law of laisser aler to their orthoepy and
shrink from the effort Of giving to each
letter it's due sound; and the process is
continuous and cumulative.

CARE OF STORAGE BATTERY.
Claim Idleness Hurts It More Than
Anything Else.

one of the parts of the car that re-
quire careful attention during the win
ter months. when many owners store
their machines to await the coming Of
more pleasant weather. is the storage
battery. There is hardly anything that
hurts battery more than idleness.
whether it be charged or unchanged.
and simply to give it a full charge and
lay it away for the winter may produce
rather disastrous results. To maintain
battery in proper condition it is
necessary to give it charge at GER
tain intervals. When the battery is
used in connection with one of the
misunderstanding systems. possessing a
dynamo for charging, this is an easy
matter. and all that is necessary is to
run the motor until the battery is
charged. This should be done at least
once every two weeks. the motor be-
ing run at a speed corresponding to a
car speed of twenty miles an hour. In
order to determine when the battery
is sufficiently charged hydrometer
should be used, and when this registers
1880 degrees charging should be stop
ped. In the absence Of the hydrOmeter.
the motor should be run for two or
three hours time in order to be on the
safe side. In some instances the car
may be stored where 1t Is Impossible
or very inconvenient to operate the
engine. When this is the case. it is
recommended, if electric current be
available. that there be used what is
termed rectifier or small charging
machine Rectifiers of this description
are produced by several manufacturers
and may be procured through supply
dealers at a reasonable cost They are
small devices to be attached to the
wall and plugged into an ordinary
electric light socket. A charge over
night or for about twelve hours every
two weeks with this apparatus will
be sufficient to keep the battery in
healthy condition.

Making Sponges Grow.
From St. Nicholas.

Biscayne bay. Sugarloal key, Anclote
keys and Key West, on the Florida coast
are the principal places in this country
where experiments in sponge culture have
been made. The various methods are as
follows: Seed sponges are cut into
small pieces, and, after having been at
tached by wiring or spindle to circular or
triangular cement blocks. are dropped or
lowered depending upon the depth to
rest on the ocean bottom. where they re-.
main for a year or two. until they reach
a size proper for commercial purposes.
They are then taken by the hook. when
new cuttings are attached and the cement
blocks let down again.
Another method was to string them on
a wire held horizontal by stakes driven
in the bottom. In doing this. however.
various difficulties arose. The sponges
became loose and rotated on the wire, en-
larging the hole made through them, and
the action Of the salt water corroded and
destroyed the wires. until, after many
trials and experiments, a lead wire with
a copper cord was successfully used.
