More Powerful In Some Ways Thas
the Stanchest Oak.

Human bones are really tremeu
dously strong and possessed Of mar
yelous resisting power. Indeed, the
bones OF the fairest, most delicate
looking woman are stronger than the
strongest oak
OF course bone is hollow, and that
Is one Of the chief reasons it resists
such extreme weights. For instance
small bone which is no more than a
square millimeter In diameter will hold
in suspension without breaking some
thirty five pounds, while stick Of best
oak of similar width will not hold
more than twenty pounds Indeed,
the average bone OF the average man
is stronger by one half than that of
solid oak
The principle on which our bones are
constructed, being made hollow and
consequently stronger than If 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 of
years ago one reason of their bulky
frame Is attributed by scientists as
due to the fact their bones were solid
and added to their weight Chicago

ONE AND ONE MAKE TW07
Not Always, by Any Means, According

Not Always, by Any Means, According
to Sir oliver Lodge.
Sir Oliver Lodge has attracted a
tremendous amount Of attention by
telling scientists (of whom he is one)
that he believes in immortality In spite
Of science. This is not the first time
he has locked horns with scientific
dogma. In his book, Modern Prob
lems," he affirms that one and one
do not always make two. And this is
the almost frivolous" way he makes
his point:
II would contend that, whereas the
proposition that one added to one
makes two is abstractedly beneath
controversy, 1t need not be true for
the addition Of concrete things. 1t is
not true for two globules OF mercury,
for instance, nor for couple of colIid-
ing stars; not true for a pint of water
added to a pint OF oil or vitriol, nor
for nitric oxide added to oxygen, nor
for the ingredients OF an explosive
mixture; not necessarily true, either,
for snakes In cage, or for capital in
vested In business concern, -four
fishing or otherwise, nor is it true, save
in temporary manner, for a couple
of trout added toea pond. Life can
make havoc of arithmetic.
"The moral OF all which is that
propositions can be clear and simple
and sure enough, indeed absolutely
certain, as long as you deal with alb
stractions, but that when you come to
concrete realities and have all the
complexities of the universe behind
you-not only behind but In front and
among and intermingled with every
simplest thing-then we perforce step
out OF the realm of positive dogmatic
security into the region of reasonable
and probable inference, the domain of
pragmatic conviction, of commonplace
intuition. Of familiar faith"

LONG TIME FARM LOANS.
Simple and Easy Credit System That
Operates In Europe.

The standard length of time in Eu
rope for long time farm loan is fifty
four years For such a loan at the
present time the rate is 4.S5 per cent
divided as follows: Interest per
cent administration 20 per cent and
amortization payment on principaD 80
per cent This rate will pay both
principal and interest and repay all
charges due to the bank in fifty-four
years. AS this will seem almost In
credible to some students will give
concrete Illustration OF how 1t works
1t does not depend upon compound
interest, but upon the fact that though
the rate of yearly payment remains
the same the charge for Interest and
administration is constantly decreasing
because they are computed on the
principal sum which Is constantly be
ing repaid: therefore the proportion
which Is applied toward the repayment
Of the principal is always increasing
For Illustration, if the debt is ST.
600 the debtor will pay $25.25 every
six months. OF the first payment, $40
will go for interest, ST. TO belongs to the
bank and $3.50 is applied to the repay
ment Of the principal When the debt
is half discharged however. this dis
tribution will be greatly changed. The
borrower will pay $25.25, as usual. OF
this amount only $40 will go for inter
est, SO cents Will be retained by the
bank. while $13.37 will be applied to
the discharge of the principal. The
final payment will be almost wholly to
the payment Of principal. as the first
one went largely to the payment of
interest In this way one-half Of /
per cent will repay the principal in
1fty-four years. provided a constant
payment is maintained on the prin-
cipal for interest during the entire
period. Representative Ralph w Moss

At the first symptoms OF earacbe let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost Fold thick
towel and tuck it around the neck
then with a teaspoon ill the ear with
warm water. Continue doing this for
fifteen or twenty minutes The water
will fill the ear orihce and flow over on

head, let the water run out and plug
the ear with warm glycerln aud cotton.
This may be done every hour until re-

ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
Evolved From the Lyre of the High
Priest of Osiris.

Evolved From the Lyre of the High
Priest of Osiris.
The history Of the piano counts as g
day compared to the harp. We have
authentic records that as early as
1900 B. c. the first Tyre was evolved
from the mind Of the high priest of
Osiris, who in one Of his daily walks
along the banks of the river Nile found
an empty tortoise shell spanned with
dried ligaments Happening to strike
it, he noticed that it gave forth pleas
ing sounds. and he at once made an
instrument on the plan Of the tortoise
shell
From the Tyre it was but an easy
step to the harp. now the most famous
instrument in the world Miesius, one
OF the Phoenician priests. carried 1t
with aim in his conquest to Ireland,
and there he planted 1t among the mu-
sic loving Celts in 1860 b. G. The royal
instrument became a controlling fea-
ture in drudical worship, and the harp
list or bard ranked with royalty. the
prophet and the priest The druids
advanced the harp from eleven to thir-
ty-two strings and crowned their eff
forts in its improvement by the eyolu-
ton of the pillar, which has ever since
found universal adoption.
Our modern harp consists of forty
five or forty y-seyen strings, seven ped
als-one for each note in the octave
and the wonderful instrument shares
with the piano and organ the faculty
of being autonomous-tha is to say, 1t
needs no accompaniment and furnishes
both melody and harmony. Miss Lo-
retta De Lone in New York Tribune.
