Mrs. Kahn has a way Of telling things
that is impressive. She can talk Of San
Francisco during the earthquake in a
mind a clear-cut vision of what must
have happened. And certainly Mrs. Kahn
can speak Of the disaster that swept part
of Frisco away with a full knowledge. for
she went through all the horror of the
quake and fire-with a three-day-old baby
boy.
my youngest boy was Just three days
old that Wednesday In April, 1908, when
the earthquake occurred. Mr.. Kahn was
in Washington. OF course, after the
quake came the fire, and all means of
Communication were cut of. l was al
most frantic; not SO much for myself as
for Mr.. Kahn. I could get no word to
him to tell him we were safe. Then the
fire came so near my home that we were
alarmed, and it was decided to move me.
I drove eight miles Thursday, with my
baby. seeking shelter from the path Of
the fire.
When I reached what had been chosen
as my destination l found that It had
been destroyed. There was nowhere else
to go. for at that time I was but one

EFFICIENCY OF A FREELY
Artificial IIIumInant Very Poor Second
to That of tho Natural
Organisms.

It Is sometimes said that IL we could
arrive at the secret Of the firefy-or
of the other organisms which produce
physiologic light-we should have
reached a great economic discovery
because the light has such an extraor'
binary high efficiency. In other Words
all the energy expended in producing
it goes to make light, and not heat.
The efficiency has been estimated at
So per cent by Ives and Coblentz, and
even higher by Langley and Very.
This is the more remarkable when 1t
is considered that the best artificial
illuminant has luminous efficiency OF
only per cent, and most Of them
reach only about 1 per cent, the re-
naming 80 per cent Of the energy 60
ing to produce heat or other subord1-
nate effects. But even If we should
discover the means by which the fire.
fly produces its light we should
scarcely care to use it in our homes.
Professor McDermott in recent study
of the subject observes that while the
insect has indeed reached the highest
possible radiant efficiency is has only
accomplished it at a sacrifice OF color
that makes the light much worse than
the mercury vapor arc. Anything not
within a very limited range of yellow
and green tones would appear black.

RINGWoRM ITcHED TERRIBLY

1545 Aisquith St., Baltimore, Md
my children were afflicted with what
they called ringworm of the scalp
contracted from house-cat they were
playing with. The ringworm formed
on their scalps about the size Of a
silver dollar and their hair fell out,
leaving a round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round
spots. There was terrible itching, and
they scratched till the blood came.
They were very fretful and could not
sleep at night, and they were very
cross.
They were treated for several
months with no improvement whatso-
ever I was told they would never
have any hair and would always be
bald. Then began using Cuticura

Earliest Arc Lights.

A recent historical exhibit Of arc
lamps and electricity in Cleveland, O.,
has brought out a bit of interesting
history in connection with the pioneer
arc lamp system built by c. F. Brush.
The first demonstration of these lamps
was made in the public square OF
Cleveland during the summer Of 1876,
and afterward in the fall of the same
year the apparatus was set up at the
centennial exposition at Philadelphia.
The exhibit at Cleveland was extern
sively advertised in the newspapers,
and on the evening the demonstration
took place thousands of people assem-
bled most of whom carried pieces of
smoked or colored glass to protect
their eyes from the arc lamps rays,
which were expected to rival those of
the sun.-Electrical World.

Touch on the Bears.

Some time ago Walter Shaw, known
as one of Gardeners most persistent
wags, wrote a letter to the New York
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals. 1t was deplorable, he said,
the way the government men in charge
of the Yellowstone park treated the
wild animals. Their cruelty was abso-
lutely barbaric. Just to cite one in
stance, he said, these scoundrels did
not give the poor bears anything to
eat during the entire winter, when the
whole park is blanketed with snow.
The society Immediately started an
investigation, beginning at the office
of the secretary of the interior. Such
cruelty must be stopped. 1t pressed its
investigation until some friendly nat
uralist told them that bears hibernate

How to Be 100 Years Old.

Celebrating her one hundred and
second birthday down in Philadelphia
few days ago, Aunt Mary Bender,
with hair not yet wholly gray, and
with strength enough to do her share
Of the work, told how to keep young
in spite of time.
Just take care of yourself and
nature will do the rest. Early to bed
and early to rise. Be careful what
you eat. Look on the bright side OF
things and-keep busy"
Aunt Mary ought to know. Her
granddad lived to be one hundred and
four, and both of her parents crowded
the century mark.
Keep busy" There you have the
big end Of the recipe. OF course, you
must also try to keep healthy-that is,
you mustn't wilfully abuse the body
God gave you.
But to keep busy, to keep interested
in congenial and useful service, is the
main thing. Idleness kills. Fretting
kills. Grinding on sand in the ma
chinery kills. But wholesome, inter
esting, well-varied work-that never
kills.
