The BETTER THINGS.

Doctor Hadley's address to tie
Yale graduating class contained THIS
remark: Many a man of fifty whOll
the world counts successful is in hts
heart soured and disappointed-unne
essarily soured and disappointed-be
cause at the age of thirty he shuts
his eyes to the other kinds OF SUI
cess which life has 10 offer besides
professional distinction. This is the
same as saying there is no such thing
as worldly success if a man is in
tent on that alone, says Ohio State
Journal. a man who devotes all
thought and energy to professional
success, Or to the gaining of wealth,
simply sacrifices himself Whoever
tries 10 gain the world will lose him
self is Bible doctrine, and II is eX-
pertence, too. 1t is, evident in all
selfish lives. To the extent that one
makes others happy he is happy him
self, and TO the extent that he makes
others miserable he is miserable him
self Many people do not look at the
latter part of the proposition, but it Is
true as gospel Every injury, I'M
kindness. oppression, done to another
reacts upon the doer. This Is axio-
matte. We cannot cheat a man but
what we cheat ourselves.

Kasimir do Proszynski, who has
been called tho Polish Edison" gave
the first demonstration of his new
cinematograph camera recently at the
meeting of the Royal Photographic So
ciety. The films used are not in a
narrow strip, but are on a broad sheet,
and the pictures are impressed upon it
l6 to a line. backward and forward,
much as a sheet of typewriter mat
ter. NJ. PrOszynski said that about a
foot of this film was equal to 100 feet
of ordinary film, and that whereas the
cost of 100 feet of ordinary film, last
ing for little more than one minute on
projection, might be about $50, the
cost of a sheet of broad film bearing
the same number of pictures would
be only Is cents.

VARIETY IN DIET.

The varied diet that most Ameri
cans indulge in meats. vegetables,
Enthusiastically supplies the needs Of
the system, and II is well to adhere
to a variety of foods; but cle proper
elements are commonly attained by
guess and chance rather than knowl-
edge \ good deal Is said in these
modern days about the chemistry OF
foods and a balanced ration, but 1t Is
talk wasted on the multitude. II is
useless 10 talk about food values in
the term Of units" or Galleries" or
other technical terms. What people
need to be taught is the nature Of the
various foods in language they can
understand. If a housewife IS taught
that she Is laying the foundation for
indigestion when she serves three or
four kinds of starchy foods at a meal

An "airbus" is the ugly name given
a gigantic biplane invented by Igor
SikOrsky, Russian aeronaut But this
'airbus" justifies It's title by having
carried as many as 16 passengers on
short flight, and half that number
for a flight lasting two hours. 1t has
a wing spread of ia feet, and body
and tail are 60 feet long. Four en-
gines, each of 100 horse power, sup
ply the drive, and speed of &C miles
an hour has been made. The Russian
government has ordered four bipla,es
of similar construction. 1t now has
more than 300 aeroplanes for military
use, and it is planning to increase the

The notion that secondhand school
books are to be dreaded as spreaders
of disease seems far-fetched. Carried
out logically, it would necessitate the
closing Of the public library. 1t would
do away with knobs and latches on the
doors of buildings, for they are quite
as likely as books to spread disease
germs, and public telephones are still
more So Among people who think,
there is a strong conviction that the
theory of danger from germs is over

CAUSE FOR
SLUMP IN SILVER

The weakness in the silver market
at the present time is attributed al
most entirely to the inability of max
ing shipments of the white metal
from London to India and China, saws
Financial American. According to bull
lion dealers, the overstock OF the
white metal at the British capitol is
not large, but the activity of the
German Navy in capturing or sinking
merchantmen as we'll as men-of-war
mas resulted in insurance rates in
England reaching such high level
as to make practically prohibitive
shipments to those countries.
These developments coming at this
time close valuable outlet for the
white metal and result in accumula-
ton and incidentally in price depres-
sion. There is also said to be mark
ed absence of buying orders which
is also having an adverse influence
upon the value of metal.
Under ordinary conditions ship
ments to India would be sufficient to
prevent any accumulation, as her
crops are fairly good, which would be
reflected in an increased demand for
the meal. China, too, would likely
be in. the market for silver in connec-
ton with her financing, but the high
insurance rates now prevailing have
developed a situation that bullion
dealers in London do not relish.
There is also said to be some oc-
emulation of silver here, partly on

out of the country, and the receipts
here since that time have been con-
siderable.-Bonanza
