A vanishad Ocean.

In the tertiary period the geograph- ical confguration ot the globe was steadily approaching that of the pres ent day. The same holds true for the faunal aspect and the climate was verging on the glacial period. It was at this time the great equatorial ocean. "Tethys." existed still. and there is ev- idence that East India and Africa. Australia and Asia. north Europe and North America were united by land connections. In the latter part of the period the ocean "Tethys" gave place to mountainous formations. such as the Alps, Himalayas and Carpathians. through the folding up of the crust of the sea. At the same time there were enormous outpourings of volcanic ma terials. Snakes and true birds ad- vanced rapidly toward their modern position in this period. which was characterized also by the maximum expansion cf mammals taking the place of the great saurians.-New York Sun ...

Why Not Schools For Men7

No man ever feels the need of educh- ton so much as the man who sees opportunity for advancement open be- fore him, but who does not dare to take it for fear that he can not rise to 1t It, is useless to say anything to such man about neglected op- portunities. and 1t Is equally futile to say the same thing to the youth who Is neglecting his studies. The first cannot go back and live his boyhood over: the latter cannot comprehend his danger. nor will he believe In his own possibilities. nor can he really study intelligently things for which be is not sufficiently mature. The few who mature early enough In life to go through technical schools or col leges are provided for. Can we not provide mems schools for those who mature normally y?-American Maga- zine. E..

Temperature of the Body.

The heat of the body varies at differ ent uges and different times Of the day. Except when you are suffering from fever you are never so hot as when you are born. The temperature of a newborn baby is about lO2 de- grees, but during the first day it rap idly goes down to 9Th degrees. rising again to a little ahove the average temperature of grownIp person. which is about 9SIa degrees. The heat of your body varies as much as two degrees In twenty-fOur hours, The minimum k reached about 4 o'clock in the morning. when your vitality Is at its lowest. and the maximum about 4 in the afternoon. People who work by night and sleep during the day. however. are coldest In the afternoon and warmest in the early morning. It is a remarkable fact that We nearly always die if our blood varies more than q few degrees either way. A temperature below 05 degrees or above 106 degrees is generally fatal.-I'ear, sons.

Criminals and Crime.

Is the criminal so because he wants to be so? No more wicked fallacy was ever fOisted upon d credulous world than this Nobody at any period of the world ever wished to be criminal Every one instinctively hates and fears crime. Every one Is honest by nature. It is inherent in the soul. I have never met a criminal who did not hate his crime even more than his condemners hate 1t. The apparent exception is when the man does ont consider his act a crime. He has killed because his victim exasperated him to it. He has robbed society because society made war on him. The offender hates his crime.
 But he Is not ashamed of it? ......-
 Now. that is true. He Is not asharn- ed of it in the current sense. He hates it, he fears it, but 1t does not f1ll him with a sense of sin.-H. Fielding Hall In Atlantic Monthly. ..-.. '

A Medical View of Bathino.

Whether or not we believe that cold baths have virtues which hot baths can never possess, 1t Is far better to preach the most advanced gospel of cleanliness than none at all. The per- son who bathes frequently is clean CT person both physically and mentally than he who does not. and if our de, sire is today to bring about higher morale among the people at large let us not cavii at a soap because forsooth 1t may be a little too strong in alkaii. or at large quantities of water. even though applied to the body oftener than once a day. For let no one think for moment that human nature is sc smitten with the Idea to keep clean that 1t will ever have a maddening de sire to use too much soap or water Dr. Philip Skrainka in Interstate Med. teal Journal. 7. v .

SORROWS OLA BOSS

While not matter of trans
cendent Importance, there is sig
niticance in the fact that Charles
f. Murphy, boss of Tammany
Hall, has been dropped from the
membership of the National DEM
ocratic Club of New York city.
The technical reason for Murphy's
expulsion was nOn-payment of
dues but Justice O'Dwyer, presi-
dent of the club. says frankly that
he and a group of his satellites
were thrown out because they are
detrimental to the interests OF
the party and in opposition to the
principles of progressive Democ-
racy. These are sad days for po-
litical plug-uglies of all parties
and Murphy has been receiving
his full share of hard knocks,
with the worst yet to come.
