IT'S A SMILE THAT WINS

The trolley car was well filled with people who had been workng-their nerves edge from hours of relentless effort and the Accomplishments of the day. Some tried to bury their feelings in ming newspapers; stared blankly into space. The heaviness of the ill-ventated rested them all Life a dreary, sordid thing
 At the stop the last passenger enter a carrying baby The mother shook her just little ana the whimper turned into vail. The frowned behind their papers slared above the sheet. Those who had no papers scowled at the mother for daring to travel with child during the rush hour
 And then the miracle. A mother looking woman with bunch of gay roses in her hat snapped her fingers the baby and smiled The baby stopped crying. The motherly person tried t again This time both her eyes and lips smiled and she nodded head until the flowers her hat fairly danced. The expression of the baby's face changed from surprise and curiosity open delight It waved It's hands talked in eloquent "goos' and "gurgles the noddng flowers. The peevish expression vanished from the mothers face and maternal pride appeared in it's stead. Those who had no papers yielded the babys conversational charm ana their neighbors began to peer interestedly around the of their pages. By the time the baby was going through futile contortons to reach the holding roses the entire mental atmosphere of the had been sweetened.
 And this miracle wrought by smile.

Passive Faith

Had our ancestors kept the land they bought for a shilling an in the heart of what is a great city, how busy might be clipping coupons says the Mesa Free Press. If enough of there would be great cites-the land would be worth little more than shilling, and nobody would be clipping coupons.

It may be said in favor of the Astor family whose great for tune chiefly Of the growth in value of their holdings that they assisted materially in the growth and did not wait their neighbors to make it valuable They took the lead in making improve ments and encouraged their less thrifty neghbors to make improvements.

A COMPASS WITHOUT A MAGNET

Gyroscopic compasses are now being installed on all the battleships and submarines of the United States navy, where the magnetic compass can not possibly be used because of the proximity of iron or steel On submarines, where the gyro compass is exceedingly important ninety-volt alternating current generator of special design is required to drive the heavy balance wheel at velocity of about $500 revolutions per minute The characteristics of the generator allow the wheel to be thrown directly upon the line and brought up to full speed automa- tically in about thirty minutes without attention on the part of the operator and without excessive current The servo-motor or folow-up system shields the gyro from all external forces and fric tion operates the transmitter for sending out ind cations to any number of repeater compasses in distant parts of the ship and operates the device correcting for speed and latitude of ship So exact is the gyro-compass that the maximum must not exceed 0.5 degrees in azimuth when swung for days under conditions of rolling pitching and waving of an artificial ship. The stabzing gyro will require one-tenth the space and weight of the equivalent best designed water pendulum.-Electri- cal World.

Mummies were invented by the Egyptians many thousands of years ago and consist of eX-humdn be- ings in a shocking state of preservation
 When the early Egyptian of good family eX- pred his remains were considered too valuable to lose He was accordingly turned the priests, who holowed him out neatly. stuffed him with btu men and old rags and then wrapped him in several miles of fine cloth saturated with preservatlves.

Inc Cape Cod Canal

There is genuine New Englander so old he cannot remember that in the days of his youth it was confidently predicted that the dangerous ocean passage around Cape Cod would be rendered un- necessary by ship canal from Barnstabe bay to Cod a-level canal originated in the minds of the Puritans. In the days of Washington a survey was made and just before the opening the civil a comprehensive report canal to cut through Cape Cod presented to the legislature of Massachu- setts It not though, until the year 1909 that the project took definite form the stimulus private capital. and the waterway has been work.
 The opening of the Cape Cod canal has inspired Leslieis Weekly bring interesting sta tistics regarding navigation around the cape. It is said that during the past half century more over 1000 vessels have been wrecked while trying weather the treacherous cape, and approxma tely 700 lives been lost It is estimated that 25,O00 cape every year The claim is made, and it is doubt less well founded that practically all of this inn mense traffic will find absolute safety and additional profit by traversing the Cape Cod canal.
 The waterway has fair ship-canal dmen sons. At low tide it's depth is twenty-five feet, and width the bottom of the prism is 100 feet. The progress vessels mpeded by locks It is draw twenty-five feet of water hence it well may be that the important part of this traffic will seek the inland passage.

The Need of a Merchant Marine

This country is feeling the need of a mer- an emergency measure directly contradictory that given boastful prominence in the Panama canal act providing that sea going vessels, whether steam sail which have been certified by the steamship inspection service as safe to carry dry and perishable cargo, not more than five years old at the time they apply for registry wherever built being wholly owned by citizens of the United or any state thereof, the president and managing directors of which shall be citizens of the United States, and no others. may be registered Foreign built vessels registered pursuant to this act shall not engage in coastwise trade" The law lays down many other stipuations, including which Quires registered ships to take on American crews.
 An amendment is before the senate, but in spite of the emergency which confronts American trade and commerce, the traditional democratic objection strong that Senators Pomerene and Salisbury Saturday prevented early amendment to the act, removing the disabilities of foreign ships, notwithstanding such amendment has been urged by the administration.
