Temptation,

Temptation always makes its ap-
peal to what is lying behind. 1t stirs
up passions that are dormant; it
awakens tendencies that are latent; it
seeks to discover the line of the least
resistance and marshals all its forces
along it. But there is one wall of de-
tense against which 1t always breaks
and that is the wall which is built out
of our stored-up experiences. If what
has gone before has prepared US for
it: II there is treasured up In our
subconscious self elements of power
upon which We can draw In the hour
OF testing, victory is sure. For life Is
all piece; what we are is the out
come Of what we have been. and wpat
we shall be will be the outcome o.
what we are

Is there one of us who does not
sometimes treat person like a ma
chine? DO we always think of the
railroad conductor as more than a ma
chine for taking tickets? Do we not
often treat our fellow creatures like
masks on fiat cars without substance
and personality? l have been striving
for years to overcome in myself and in
my medical fellows the professional
habit of treating person as a lease"
or a walking disease. But the habit OF
impersonality persists, like original
sin, in myriad forms and unexpected
ways. In law courts we treat a hui
man being as prisoner at the bar"
as the plaintiff" or defendant" to
the exclusion Of the fact that he is as
real and sensitive as ourselves.-Atlan-

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Different Methods on Which Arc and
lncandescent Lamps Work.

The arc light and the incandescent
light work on totally different prin-
ciples. 1t was noted many years ago
that when an electric circuit was
broken the current jumped across a
slight gap, producing a brilliant flame.
The shape of this flame was roughly
an arc from one conductor to the other
Thus the word "arc" was adopted. All
arc lamps burn in the air and not In
vacuum. The light Is produced by the
current leaping across small air gap
between the two electrodes, or carbon
pencils, and heating the tips Of the
carbons white hot Floating particles
of white hot carbon also add to the
brilliancy. A mechanism Is necessary
to feed" in the carbons as fast as they
burn away, or otherwise the gap would
increase until the current could not
jump across and the light would go
out.
The incandescent lamp, common In
most homes and office buildings, is OBJ
tanned from piece Of white hot wire,
heated by the passage of an electric
current. The wire must be inclOsed In
a glass bulb from which the air has
been exhausted, otherwise 1t would
quickly be burned up and consumed.
The wire filament j. now made Of
tungsten, which resists the flow Of cleo
tricity with so much vigor that the
current, in working to get by the OBJ
struction, heats the wire to incan-
descence, hence the name.-New York

THERMOM ETERs.
Difference In Principle Between the
Fahrenheit and Centiqrads.

fanrerneit ana CentI9raoe.
The difference in the numbering of
the Fahrenheit and the centigrade
thermometers is a difference in princi-
Ia, that between circular measure and
,he neat simplicity OF the decimal sys-
,cm.
When Fahrenheit had found that his
thermometer was capable Of giving
him means Of measuring heat the
necessity for a scale presented itself.
lie was able to establish two constants
Of temperature-that at which q mix
ture Of salt and snow melts at one end
Of the scale, that at which water boils
at sea level establishes the other. Evil
dently with some reference to the fact
that in circular measure the maximum
distance possible TO measure from one
point to another Is 180 degrees, he
scaled 1SO equal parts between these
two limits. He scaled the thermome-
ter below his freezing point to its read
ing on a winter day colder than the
oldest inhabitant could remember to
have experienced, and here he estab-
lished his zero. 1t chanced to be 32
degrees below his freezing point.
The centigrade, on the other hand,
establishes its zero at freezing point
and 100 degrees at the boiling point.
These constants are selected because
they may be so conveniently repro
duced at any time and therefore obvl-
ate the necessity OF maintaining an Of
fcially scaled standard, as must be the
case with measures Of length and ca

Armed Peace a Fatal Policy !.

In the January Womdn's Home Com
pdnion Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of
Broadway Tabernacle, New York city,
writes an interesting war article, in the
course Of which he expresses as fol-
lows his strong opposition to arma-
ments:
sin the light Of the awful conflagration
we can see the fallacy of sundry state
ments which have in certain circles been
passing as sxioms: In time of peace pre-
pare for war;, 'Armaments are the surest
guarantees of peace These are maxims
which have been a thousand times re-
peated, and multitudes have been beguiled
into thinking them words of wisdom.
How false and dangerous they are is now
made clear. If we want peace, then we
must prepare for it. Armaments are a
constant menace to the peace of the
world. Whatsoever a nation sows that
shall it also reap. II it sows bayonets, it
reaps battles. Armed peace, therefore, is
fatal policy. Nations that adopt it are
doomed. Incessant preparations for war
invite the very catastrophe they are ex-
pected to ward off. The great war in
Europe is the outgrowth OF the policy of
armed peace"

been rendered 10 him.
When the great French firm OF Pathe
Freres wanted a representative for the
State OF Maine, Mr.. Tinker was the man
selected. His work with that company
was the most profitable, considering the
size OF the Pathe output, of any OF the big

them to handle the business interests of
the corporation in the states OF Maine, of
New Hampshire and Vermont, and finally
agreed to accept their offer II his friend,
Frank II. Vine, then manager of the
Psthe interests in Boston, would accept
the offer rendered him as manager at Bos-
ton for the world corporation.
On the first OF December, Mr.. Vine ac-

Tinker also severed his engagement and
went down to the new office. 1t is said
that the salary paid Mr.. tinker is one OF
the largest ever paid motion picture

many friends in this vicinity, wish him
success in his new position, and also hopes
he will succeed in his desire to own and
operate large farm near his present resi-

good place to farm as any.
