The Meaning OF Children,s Lies.

There is tendency on the part OF
many children to deviate frequently
and sometimes startingly from the
ways of truth says H. Addington Bruce
in Pictorial Review for September.
Usually, to be sure, children's lies are
comparatively harmless to all except
themselves; but they may be and are
to a greater extent than most persons
imagine attended by exceedingly SER
ious, even disastrous consequences to
others.
1t is for example. a we'll established
historical fact that in the sixteenth
century one hundred thousand people
were executed for witchcraft on
charges based mostly on lies told by
children. In our own country the
Salem witchcraft delusion, with its
sad record of prosecutions and execu-
lions was distinctly product of chill
dren's lies. And 1t would be impos-
sible to estimate the. number Of per-
sons who, In every land and age, have
been put to death or imprisoned for
assaults and other crimes committed
only in the wild assertions of children
But whether the lies told by
children are simple or elaborate,
comparatively harmless or disastrous
ly serious, it is important to have a
clear understanding of their nature,
If only for the reason that they are
invariably indicative of the existence
of conditions that must lbe corrected
before habits of truth telling can be
formed. Nor are these always con-
ditions that may be corrected by a
judicious use OF the rod, as too many
parents and teachers are inclined to
think. In fact, if there is any one
thing that modern scientific research
into the workings of the child's mind
has demonstrated, 1t is the absolute
falsity of the old fashioned doctrine
that children lie from innate deprav-
ity," and that the only sure cure for
lying is sound flogging.
No child 1t may be safely said Is
ever born into this world a liar.
Neither is any child ever born into
the world saint The child in the
beginning Of its life is simply an ami
mate entity of nerves, tissues and
muscles co-ordinated and governed by
an indwelling principle-call 1t spirit,
soul or what you will-that expresses
itself to good or bad purpose accord
ling to the influences brought to bear
in the course Of the child's develop
ment. There may be, it is true, in
therited defects Of physical structure
Especially defects Of brain organiza-
1tion-that make child peculiarly re-
sponsiye to influences for evil; but
even these can usually be counteracted
by proper training. On the other
hand, given improper training the
child with the best brain organization
in the world is quite likely to develop
into an inveterate liar and blackleg.
And by the word training" is meant
much more than the formal imparting

Good eLame Duck, Crop.

Apropos of the talk about general
crop production, indications are that
the forthcoming Democratic lame
duck" crop Will be one of the largest
In years.
While no statistics have as yet
been given out from the Democratic
cloak room of the House of Represen-
tatives, general reports point to the
belief that the number of Democratic
lame ducks" after the fall elections
will exceed the number of offices
which President Wilson may have to
bestow on those who will have, gone
down to defeat while carrying his ban
ner in their own home districts. More
and more Democratic congressman are
. %torn with conflicting emotions" in
their dual attempt to please the presi-
dent and please their constituents at
the same time.

Today all the clocks Of the Inn
portant countries of the world
are ticking in accordance to
their distance from the Green
witch observatory. All the
worlds navigators are sailing or
steaming over the seven seas on
courses laid by the Greenwich
observatory. The people OF the
United. States are rising from
their beds. opening the days
business and eating their meals
according to regulations laid
down by the British astronomers
of King Charles's reign. The
world is marked off into zones,
each one of which occupies if
teen degrees of longitude and is
numbered according to its posi-
tion in relation to Greenwich.
In tho United States four OF
these zones exist. the country
having breadth Of fifty-f1ve
degrees. All the clocks in a zone
register the same hour according
to regulation adopted in 1888.
This regulation was promul-
gated to overcome the seventy
one different sets OF time pre-
vailing in the country thereto
fore. Today another mighty ev-
olution in navigation and the
universal time system is in pro-
cess. It is proposed to use the
wireless telegraph to verify time.
1t is suggested that the United
States naval observatory flash
its signals of the hour to ships
at sea so that the navigator can
accurately determine his chrome
meter. Another scientist sug-
gests that the government radio
station at Arlington flash its sig
nails to Eiffel Tower in Paris,
sc that Europe and America can
set their clocks accurately.

THEN
and

Two hundred and thirty
nine years ago today the founda-
ttonsawere laid for the Green
witch observatory which gives
the world ITS standard time. A
year later 1t was completed
and approved by King Charles
II. Its erection marked new
epoch In the worlds navigation.
Before its establishment nav
igator's voyage was a haphaz-
ard and exceedingly dangerous
undertaking. The astronomical
tables by which the navigator
figured his position in mid
ocean were so erratic at that
time that ship headed for the
Virginia colony in the New
World were Just as liable to land
on the coast Of New England.
There was no universally &C
cepted first meridian OF longi-
tude by which the navigator
could sail his course accurately
until the early explorers adopt
ed their own. The Latin nav
igators used the Peak of Tene-
rife in the Canary Islands. I'M
til Richelleu called scientific
congress in Paris in 1880
which decided upon the island
of Ferro as the first meridian.
This island remained the guild
ing mark for the Latin races for
many generations. The Eng
disappearing races established
Greenwich time and meridian.
One Of the first acts Of the first
royal astronomer was to compile
all the known statistics relating
to astronomy and to work out
a reliable table for mariners.
Then it began to set the clock
of England and the United
States.
