WIND FROM PASSING
BULLETS WILL KILL
Not Necessary to BE Hit by
the Speeding Projectiles,
Says Professor.

Paris. Special: Curious confirmation
Of the belief that men can be killed and
wounded by the wind Of passing pro-
jectiles was given in a paper by Pro-
lessor Laurent. of Brussels, read re-
Gently before the French academy OF
science. ... .#
M. Laurent declared that several
cases had come under his notice. dur
ing the Balkan wars OF soldiers who
showed symptoms OF cerebro-spinal
disturbance. though they had no wound
of any kind. The symptoms were faint
ing. tingling sensation and even par
tial paralysis. In the more serious
cases the victims became cataleptic,
Sometimes death resulted. In the lat
ter cases autopsies were performed
which failed to show any nervous le-
sions, 1t then appeared to Professor
Laurent that the vibrations Of air pro-
duced by the passage of ball and the
sudden variations Of atmospheric
pressure affected the nerve cells and
caused the phenomena OF inhibition.
Professor Laurent recalled that during
the war in Manchuria DIR. Matignon had
also observed nervous inhibition pro-
duced by cannon balls. Since the speed
OF modern projectiles has been in
creased and they have become more Inn
portant to warfare. Professor Laurent
looks for a larger number OF cases of
the kind indicated during conflict.

Tn. Kind Of Home She Would Make

The Kind of Home She Would Make
Answering the inquiry, what kind
Of a housekeeper. would professional
woman make, anyway" Miss Anna
Carlson, editor and owner OF the Linds-
borg News, says: Personally, we can
only answer for one, and she probably
wouldn't make an ideal one, at least
not from some peoples point of view.
She wants things neat and clean, and
would endeavor to keep them so. She
doesn't consider newspapers, maya
zines and books as dirt and there
would undoubtedly be a generous
sprinkling OF them throughout the
house There would probably not be
an over abundance Of fancy tides,
meant only for show, and too good to
be used The best things in the house
would not be stored away and brought
out only on state occasions for com
pany, but would be for the use OF the
hnily. Believing that the house was
made for the family and not the family
for the house. she would take time to
be companionable even IL the ironing
had to go over until the next day and
some piece Of fancy work had to lay
over q month or two. The chair would
be large and selected for comfort rather
than for ornament, and the head OF
the house IL there was one, and he
was the right sort-could put his feet
on the parlor table II he insisted that
such position would be necessary for
his comfort. We contend that there Is
some difference between the ideal
housekeeper and an ideal homemaker,
but never having tried out the theory,
dare not put our judgment on par
with that Of the good women who
know from actual experience how the
plan works"

Daring.
From Harper'B.

since the trouble with Mexico
began, there has been much occa-
1ion to reflect on such large topics
az daring, caution, and RESPONSE
bYity. Our old friend Machiayelh
gets into the subject, thusi
EFT Is better to be impetuous than
cautious. Fortune Is a woman VINO
"a to be kept under, must be beaten
and roughly handled and
always, like woman, she favorR the
young. because they are less
scrupulous and nereer, and COM
mands her with greater audacity."
Machiavelli lived IN a time when
fortune depended largely on the
stilletto. italian ethics, for all the
genius OF theN day. were neverthe-
less not unlike the ethics OF South
America or Mexico. washington
was cautious at n and daring at %.
At any age, he used caution and
courage with equal ease So did
Lincoln. OF the responsible leader
today, we should not quote Machia-
yeIII so much an the four. gates OF
Thebes. As the traveller approached
the city, he read on the arst gate:
''Be bold" on the others, In sue
cession, he read:A ra,
"Be hold" BE bold" BE not
too bold"

Make Il q Precedent.

From "Girard's Topics Of the Town." In
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The American classic In railroad plum
dering was the Erie under Jay Gould. It
in invariably brought up every time there
Is a railroad scandal IS.
But It seems to me that the salient
point about the wreck Of the Erie, as II
might apply to modern finance, Is this:
The court made Gould return t7,550000 OF
his supposed booty. His enemies said that
was small part Of what he had taken.
but the law stopped there.
Gould had been tanner In Pennsylvania
and had learned that before you can take
the skin off steer he must be knocked
senseless. His railroad methods were pic
turesque, but he didn't make 80 big a for
tune In railroads as did Hartman In so
short a time.
After ali, suppose stockholders would
be more interested IN plans to have plum
der returned than in knowing the details
Of how it bad been taken.
