GREAT HARDNESS Of WATER
Try It by Putting Your Arm Over
board When Riding In q
Speed Boat.

Here is a fact which Is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This is what we
may call the hardness of the, water
when a boat is running at speed.
Water at so miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
bathe in. II you put your arm over
board from hydroplane running at
so miles an hour and strike a wave
crest the probability Is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
and striking 1t is like striking so
much metal.
In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
hillsides. a swordsman, in attempting
to cut. into one of these streams, will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream
is like a bar of iron. The fact that
water at relative speed is so hard
or that its inertia is SO great, to be a
little more accurate-is the reason
why a skipping stone travels over
the surface, and is the reason why a
hydroplane boat slides over the sur
face instead Of plowing its way
through.
The picture we must have in our
minds, then, Of speed boat is that it
is travelling not in water. as we ordi-
v,n ri h,,k t1,
face of semi-solid, very much as a
| sled travels over snow. The hard
ness of water at so miles an hour we
might compare with the hardness of
cheese-at rest.-American Magazine.

Two MeaninQa.

The different meanings that sim
pie turn Of expression can give word
are often curious and sometimes anus
ing. An anecdote of Charles Lamb, the
famous English author, illustrates this
very pleasantly.
On a wet, miserable, foggy day. in
London, he was accosted by a beggar
with:
please, sir, bestow a little charity
upon a poor, destitute woman. Be
lieve me, sir, have seen better days"
so have /" said Lamb. handing tho
poor creature a shilling. so have l.
It's a miserable day, even for Lon
dom"
A similar illustration Is OF the man
who saw some mischievous boys car
rying off fruit from his orchard.
What are you about?" he called.
Justify.
About going!" called one Of them.

the fence.-Youth's Companion.

WHEN JENNIE LIND SALUTED
Beautiful Tribute Which the Great
Singer Once Paid to Our Ma
tional Flag.

There is a pretty story told of the
honor Jennie Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York, more than 60 years ago.
The frigate St Lawrence had just re-
turned from cruise, and the midship-
men went to hear the Swedish night
ingale sing at Castle Garden theater,
and the next day they called on her
in body. Their enthusiasm and her
graciousness soon brought about a
visit to the ship and the acceptance
of luncheon rendered her. When
she was about to leave the ship she
looked up at the stars and stripes and
said:
II wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang THE Star-Spangled Banner" ST.
lently from all over the ship men
gathered with uncovered heads, until
the ships family was all assembled
on deck. Nor were they her only au.
dience, for borne upon the still air
her song had been heard by many
other vessels near by, and when the
wondrous voice ceased steamers blew
their whistles and exultant cheers
rose from all sides. filling the harbor
with their tribute Of applause for the
beloved artist and of loyal reverence
for the flag she had so beautifully sa.
luted.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

THE COLORADO BUSINESS MEMS HOME RULE LEAGUE

Government can enact laws estao-

Regeneration By Legislation
compulsion Makes Hypocrites and
Not Converts.

An ominous sign of the times is tho
apparently widespread disposition to
shift responsibility upon the govern
ment. A former chief justice of Con-
necticut, in an address. saw this dis
position in the vast number of things
which American citizens had been
commanded to do, or prohibited froin
doing, by regulative and restrictive
enactmeuts, and concluded with this
sisnificant remark We have not
yet reached the condition of the an
cient Peruvians. whose daily lives
were infinitely regulated by govern
mental authority, but we are on
stream which flows that way
That honesty in nation must rest
upon individual character and that re-
generation must begin with the indi'
vidual, seems to be lost sight OF. The
sole talk of the political agitator and
too often of the moral uplifter, is OF

AGE NEEDED TO GIVE CHARM
New Buildings, Clean and Freshly
Painted, Arc Unattractive and
Seem to Lack Dignity.

A new building, clean and freshly
painted, is one Of the most unattrac-
tive things in the world. Take q
shining new house. set in treeless
lot, without shrubbery or vines. 1t
looks as harsh and bumptious and
obtrusive as fresh young agent wDp
sets his foot inside the door the iiio-
ment 1t is opened to keep it from be-
ing shut In his face.
Age Is needed to give charm and
dignity to buildings, to make them a
part Of the landscape. A new piece
Of stonework or brick or stucco
stands up like sore thumb. 1t does
not fit In with the rest of things. The
planet>is somewhat weathered by the
winds and rains Of millions Of years,
and permanent addition to 1t needs
at least little weathering to har-
monize.
The gray Of the great cathedrals
which have accumulated the smoke
and dust and CRIME of centuries is
one great source of charm. To clean
Westminster Abbey's hoary walls
would ruin them. An example of the
cheapening effect of newness is con-
spicuous in Kansas City in the partly
cleaned walls of the new station.
The gray stonework is wonderfully
impressive in its massive dignity.
But where the walls have been
cleaned and whitened they give the
impression of staring artificiality and
primness wholly out of keeping with
the general scheme of monumental
city entrance. Happily, in the case
of the station the devastation wrought
by the cleaning will be repaired with
in few years. Meanwhile 1t may
stand as horrible example.
New things generally are more or
less distressing-new shoes. new
clothes, new houses. They all have
to be lived with awhile before they
get Observation-Disclosures City Star

PLANS FOR SEED CORN WEEK
Arrangements Now Under Way For
The Proper Observance of
This Occasion

Plans for the states fifth annual
seed corn selection week, which will
begin about the middle of September,
are under way. No one in the state
is to be permitted to escape an in
terest in the weeks work, says A. b.
Wilson, director of the Extension Di-
vision, Department of Agriculture,
University of Minnesota.
Every agency possible will be used
in order to call the attention of the
people to the week and to its sig
nifcance. Every community will be
asked to get together on the plan
and become a center for the spread
of the better-seed-corn gospel Out
Of such centers will work bankers
and business men of all kinds, COM
mercial clubs, farmers clubs, high
school agriculturists, schools, coun-
ty agents, development associations,
county superintendent, rural school
teachers.
Even Churches Assist
Even the Sunday schools and the
churches will have an opportunity
to assist in arousing the enthusiasm
of the people in a week of service to
the state, which is patriotism, and
of promotion of the common good,
which is christianity The telephone
companies will call up their patrons
and urge them to remember seed corn
week. Of course the support of the
agricultural papers and of the press
generally can be counted upon. These
agencies did wonders a year ago.
Some might say. continued Mr.. Will
son, that the subject is not one for
the Sunday school or the church. But
it is hard to see how Sunday school
or church can couple up the religious
life with everyday life in a better
way than by taking hold of something
intensely practical like this which will
help people to help themselves, will
help to promote the prosperity of all
and hence that of the churches. This
is patriotism, and the church has
been one of the greatest agencies of
patriotism in history.
Will Use Banners
1t has been suggested that when
the dates of seed corn week have been
definitely settled every town and vii
lage in the state stretch banners
across the main entrances from the
surrounding farming areas to the town
