The air in an automobile tire under
pressure of $50 pounds a square inch
weighs proportionally ten times as
much, while air under the pressure of
fifty atmospheres weighs so times as

TREE AGRICULTURE NOT NEW
Immense Possibilities When the Sub.
ject Has Been Thoroughly and
Scientifically Sifted.

The modern conception Of tree ag-
riculture'' is newt is only a few
years since men began to discuss the
possibility Of substituting permanent
trees for annual seed-bearing grains
as the worlds food supply. But the
fact of tree agriculture is very old,
and few who live in northern lands
have any idea how far it has pro-
crossed in the hot regions.
There are some 60, 900. 900 cocoanut
trees In the island of Ceylon, valued at
nearly $500, 600, 000. They furnish much
of the food supply of the inhabitants.
The date palms of the Pacific are other
examples of tropical fruit trees; and
the chestnuts, CAROLS and olives Of
southern Europe show something OF
what can be done in cooler climates.
In the grasp of modern science,
trees are as plant as animals. When
we consider what has been accom-
plished in animal breeding in the last
two centuries, we get some idea Of
tree farming as cur descendants may
practice it 200 years hence.

mains that uncompiimentary things
are being said about you; things that
do not at all agree with your estimate

but objects to something about you.
Maybe you do care. Ii SO, We are

it. 1t would be a good thing for. you

The scarcity Of -four drove the Brit

to set an example by combining them
selves to fish, meat. vegetables and
household bread. partly made of rye.
One q~uartern loaf a week was recon-
mended as the maximum allowance
per head, and the loaf should be put
on the table for each to help himself,
SO that there might be no waste.
Rich people were urged to do without
soups and gravies, to take only the
prime cuts and leave the rest for the

to make soup and rice pudding. rice

strongly marked in my army. found
the English regiments always in the
best humor when we were well sup
piled with beef; the Irish when we
were in the wine countries, and the
Scotch when the dollars for pay came

assure you it was a fact, and quite

reconcile all their tempers, and l

QUAKER SPEECH NOW RARE
Gentleness In Some Measure Seems
to Have Decreased Through
Its Abandonment.

At a Friends meeting in Philadel-
phia several speakers expressed re-
greet that the distinctive Quaker
speech, known as the plain lam
guage," was going so rapidly out Of
use. 1t was asserted that the gentle
ness hat distinguished it made it
especially desirable and effective and
that the influence of Friends was in a
measure decreased by its abandon
ment.
Doubtless this view is correct. The
Quaker speech, now so rarely heard,
was always much liked by people not
members Of the sect because it was
associated with calmness and serenity
of manner Probably this serenity
vas a quality not dependent on the
language used, but was a matter Of
temperament and habit. but it seemed
gentle thee and thou" and other Pc
culiar forms of address. As used, this
Quaker speech vas not strictly gram
matical-"thee is" for example, being
open to objection If anyone ever
thought of it in a critical way. Never
theless. thee is" had it's charm.
The passing of the Quaker costume
was also spoken of with some regret,
yet those who lamented its disap-
pearance were not insistent on its
r~eadoption. Apparently they saw no
especial connection between the plain
garb and the plain language, yet there
undoubtedly is one.
The speech is expected from wear
ers of the distinctive costume-the
straight, severe gowns and the close
fitting bonnets, and loses its effective
ness when it ome from the lips OF
a woman arrayed In fashionable at
tire. The change in dress was urged
by the young generation of Quakers
on the plea that the old fashions set
them apart from their neighbors and
were a h%indrance. Perhaps they did
not mean to give up the quaint speech
also, but Its disuse was inevitable.
1t does not belong with worldly dress.

DEVISED TO FOIL THIEVES
Bank Checks Said to Have Been In
stituted as a Protection to Lon
don Tradesmen.

1t is claimed that the business world
owes the idea of the bank check to
nothing else than London's fogs.
These fogs are sometimes of such a
density that the pedestrian a see but
q few feet ahead of him. Something
over a hundred years ago the attacks
of thieves and highwaymen in the
streets of London upon bank messen-
gers and tradesmen going to settle
their bills became so frequent in times
of heavy fog as seriously to interfere
with the conduct of London's business.
1t was easy for the thief to ambush
his victim, club him into insensibility,
rob him, and then disappear into the
murky atmosphere, with little lkeii-
hood of apprehension or Identification,
or that ~passers-by would witness the
commission of the crime or be of any
assistance in the chase.
In these circumstances bankers,
tradesmen, and others set their wits
to work, with the result that the bank
check vas devised for the payment of
debts. Soon the highWaymen found
that a few pieces of paper were all
the booty they we're likely to get from a
'hold-up' of even a wealthy trades
man. Accordingly the activities of the
daylight robbers soon came to an end,

TALE OF LITERARY BOHEMIA
French Dramatist and Poet Breakfast

Amusing circumstances.

with the poet OF the Vie de Boheme.'
Theodore Barriere, the dramatist,
wished to adapt Murger's work to the
but he decided to visit him at his
home and introduce himself. Murger
lived on the sixth floor of a house in
the Rue Gregoire-de-Tours. 1t was al
most noon when Barriere appeared at
his lodging, but Murger was still in
bed.
Pardon me, sir. for disturbing you"
said Barriere. I'm sorry to see that
you are in bed. Are you indisposed?'
mo, not at ALL" said Murger. I'm
very well, indeed, and very glad to
make our acquaintance"
May l ask why you lie in bed on
so fine a day as this"
"IIl tell you," said Murger, laugh

nondas, who stayed in bed while his
clothes we're being mended-that's my
case. have only n pair Of trousers,
and the porter has taken them to the

Well, ring for breakfast"
Barriere looked round for the bell,
but could find none.
I'VE haven't such a thing" said
Murger. In this place you act .ac-
cording to tradition-take that brick
and heave it downstairs. Pere Guerin
knows the signal; he'll come right

Barriere did so, and the man ap-

threw a havelock over his shoulders,

FABLE DEALING WITH ADVICE
viii Be interesting Alike to Those
Who Offer and Those Who
Seek Guidance.

Once, on a day when many problems
rose up and encompassed me about as
high walls my friend came to me with
admonition in his eyes and advice on
his tongue.
And, because of the love that was
between us, / h~earkened unto the
words Of my friend and did as he adj
vised. But his advice brought me no
good thing. Nay, rather it led me deep
err into my prison of q~uestionings. And
when l saw that my troubles were
multiplied upon me | sought out my
friend again tt ask him why this
should be. And / said:
LOT All that thou badest me do l
have done, yet am / not released from
my dificulty-rather Is trouble multi
piled upon mel"
And my friend lost patience with
me and laughed M to scorn and said:
IF thou knewest that what l said
would bring thee to no good end, why
vast thou obedient to my voice? |
advised for thy. good-but thy life l
cannot make for thee"
And at first l was wroth with my
friend, but later, when l had lain still
a long time with my thought, / was
thankful unto him.
For / said, "Henceforth I will not
ask advice only of my own mind, and
the soul within me shall be a coun
seller"
And when | had sought the advice Of
my mind and taken counsel with mine
own soul, | saw a path between the
walls and knew where my feet should
tread. And by that path l began to
climb from my prison.
Then came other friends with ad-
vice on their tongues and cried unto
me.
Not this way! Not this way"
But / hearkened not unto them, for
l felt that / was destined to be mine
own d%eliverer. And at last there came
a day when the walls of my prison lay
below me and when l could smile upon
my friends and say.
10, it was the right path"
But my friends only smiled back at
me with right good will and said:
You have had good luck. We are
glad."-Marguerite Wilkinson.
