New Year Tn Japan.

In Japan the New Year k welcomed with fuI more Fest than in this cOtIn- try. One iS expected la arISt. with the sun and don new clothes tU meet the suspicious murning. Then ne wur- ships. performs obeiSance to the spirits of his ancestors and pays homage to ull relatives older than himself. No ordinary viands are consumed at brea kfnst. Ou every tray, covered with evergreen leaves and supporting rice dumpling. are placed lobster oranges. persimmons. chestnuts. dried sartlines and herring root, all these dishes possessing allegoricnl meanings This meal is the start of the festtvi- ties. which in olden times were con- tinued for many days, business being almost entirely suspended. The idea of celebrating New Years in such a manner Is that the year is going to be the way 1t is started. Smile on New Years day and you will smile through out the year. Complain on New ears day and you will complain all the year round. Weigh your anchor with mer- ry song of heart and 1t will be smooth sailing all through the voyage. Begin right and you are bound to finish right. That Is the Japanese idea of New Years celebration.-Bull of the Ja- pan Society.

Sanss of Direction.

The apparently marvellous way In which lntliaus. Eskimos and other primitive people make their way through forests. snow covered areas or other regions which have little to indi- cate direction to white newcomers has led to widespread belief that they possess a mysterious sixth sense of di- rection. Vilhjnlmur Stefansson. the arctic traveller. who has lived much with Eskimos. is very skeptical about the existence of any superiority of sense of direction among primitive peO- pies of any kind and gives strong evil dence from personal experience that Eskimos have no such superiority. The ability of Indians and others to find their way he attributes solely to their familiarity with the country through which they are travelling. They note many things that they have seen be- fore and that have no significance to the stranger in their land. White men can and do acquire the same ability to find their way when they have learned to know country. When the land .s equally strange to the white man and the Indian or Eskimo. the white man. because of his better developed reason ing power. Is more likely to have a cor rect idea of direction than the Eskimo. indianapolis News.

Tree Roots.

An article by A. Howard fn the Agri cultural Journal of India describes the attemiIts made at the Pusa experimen tai station to protect field crops from injury by the roots of neighboring trees, by digging a deep trench each year between the trees and the adja- cent cultivated area. In the case uf some trees this plan proved successful. but not in the case of others. such as the pipai, banyan and teak. When the trenches were opened up 1t was found that the several roots had be- come connected again. New roots had been formed at the cut extremity. They had grown across the trench. which was twenty four to thirty inch es wide. and united with the severed portion of the root by process of nat. ural grafting. followed by rapid thickening of the connections. which attained a thickness of 8 to II inches in twelve months.

Ire Literal Mind.

Man is never literal in the expression of his ideas except in matters most trivial. Very often mans words are not a language at all. but merely vo- cal gesture of the dumb. They may indicate. but do not express, his thoughts. The more vital his thoughts the more have his words to be explain. ed by the context of his life. Those who seek to know his meaning by the aid of the dictionary only technically reach the house, for they are stopped by the outside wall and find no pn- trance to the hall. This is the reason why the teachings of our greatest prophets give rise to endless disputa- tons when we try to understand them by following their words and not by realizing them in our own lives. The men who are cursed with the gift of the literal mind are the unfortunate ones who are always busy with their nets and neglect the tshing.-"Sad

Mechanism of the Ear.

The human ear is a delicate piece of mechanism. That which we ordinarily designate as the ''ear" is. after all, only the mere outer porch of series of winding passages which lead from the world without to the world within. Certain of these passages are filled with liquid. besides having membra nes stretched like parchment curtains across the corridor at different points. When a sound wave strikes these they are turned into vibrations and made to tremble like the head of a drum does when struck with a stick or with the fngers- Between two of these parchment-like curtains a chain of mi mute bones extends, which serves to tighten or relax the membranes and communicate vibrations to them. Tn the innermost place of all row of white threads called nerves stretch like the strings of piano from the last point from which the tremblings reach. passing thence inward to the brain. .., ....
