Looking Down From High Places.

LOOKING OOWTI T1ISn FIdCc1s
Why do you feel giddy when you
look down from the top Of the house
or even from the upstairs porch? Just
because it's so high eh? That's true,
but it's only half the answer. You
know. OF course. that your power to
keep your balance on your feet de
pends largely on your vision or sight
When you walk in the dark you STUN.
BILE and bump against things because
you are not used to walking without
seeing. It's the same when you are
away up above the ground and cannot
see familiar things in their familiar
places. Your eyes play you tricks,
you seem to lose your balance. and
your head feels giddy and your steps
are uncertain. If you practice long
enough you can learn to walk without
seeing. but until you have learned that
lesson be careful when you climb to
high places.-Wisconsin State Journal.

Sympathy With Sufferers.

Probably nothing is more stimulating
and genuinely tonic to sufferers. espe-
cially those with chronic ailments. than
the feeling that In spite OF their own
helplessness they themselves can still
be helpful to others. The Shut-in So
c1ety In this country has made life
more bearable for many persons who
are confined to their rooms or their
houses. Nothing disturbs certain
class of patients so much as to be con-
stantly in contact with those who are
in good health and strength and whom
they can scarcely help but envy. To
be brought into touch with those for
whom they themselves can feel Is
precious source OF consolation and up
lift Pity is q luxury to be enjoyed,
but no human being likes to be pitied
or to feel that he Is an object OF pity.
To be conscious of some advantage in
ones situation over that OF others In Of
itself an aIleviation for many sick
nesses.-JOurnal American Medical AS

ELECTRICITY IN RAIN.
The Drops of Moisture. as a Rule, Con-
tain Positive Charges.

tain Positive Charges.
Rain drops are almost always charg-
ed with electricity. The charge Is Of
ten positive. rarely negative. Many
observers have measured the charge
approximately and made II from
100000. 900 900. .OOO01 to 0OO0 OO0. .0OO.-
0OO.001 amperes per square centimeter.
Professor F. Herath of Kiel describes
In the Revue Electrique the expert
ments by which he has measured them.
He received the rain on fine me-
tallic cloth twenty-five meters square,
insulated and attached TO a galvanOm-
eter in cellar. The galvanometer reg.
istered photographically. Among the
facts he proves are these:
Rains with a constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to negative. The
passage from a positive TO negative
charge corresponds to mOmentary
cessation Of the shower. The quantity
of positive electricity brought by the
min is fifteen times greater than that
uf the negative. The positive currents
In steady rainfall are about 000O.-
0NO.O00 0n.Mm.I amperes per square
centimeter. The negative currents
never exceed O0.OOOOOO.O01 am
peres per square centimeter.

Help 1t, Germany Is Told.
Peking, Sept. 24.-The Chinese gov
ernment has replied to the protest OF
Germany against the landing of Jap
anese troops in China disclaiming re-
sponsibility for the violation of her
neutrality which. she says. she is un.
able to defend.
In its reply the foreign office argues
that the Russians exacted no compen'
sations from China for the conse.
quences of the Russo-Japanese war.
Accordingly, China denies any liability
for permitting Japan to. violate her
neutrality inasmuch as there is no way
in which she could prevent it.
The railway east of Weihsien, in
Shantung. has been taken over by the
Japanese, who made prisoners of the
German railway officials and EN-.
ployees. The Japanese have also cap.

"A Sound Box,n

Take an ordinary rubber band and
stretch it between the thumb and fore
