Sitting Cross Legged.

Fully so per cent of the men and
women who travel in the trains and
street cars sit cross legged. and this
habit is responsible for many ills, ac-
cording to a prominent London physi-
clan. The prime objection against this
habit, he says. is that the return flow
of blood from the leg is stopped at
the knee. the result being that the
veins in the leg swell up. All the
weight is thrown on one side of the
body, and the under leg goes to sleep
owing to the pressure put on the sci
attic nerve. The body should be equal
" balanced Then there is another
danger. Too much crossing of the legs
is sure to bring lOpsidedness. Let the
legs rest Imply. In that way the mus
cles become eased. while the flow into
and the return of blood from the legs
is naturally done and the body is
equally balanced.

FALSE ALARM.

The fire truck has az ain proved its
ability to respond to all sorts of
calls. The last call was rather
singular, however. Some of the
neighbors near the court house MOTTO
ed a great blaze at 10 D. m. inside
the court house. Realizing the dang
er in which the jurors would be,
they Immediately telephoned to the
fire station. The truck was soon on
the spot. The flames could be plain
ly seen and they rushed to the door
They tried all sorts of ways to arouse
the jurors who were sleeping at the
court house, but to no avail. Their
alarm was great by this time, and it
was feared that the men might perish
unless extreme measures were re-
sorted to. So they removed a panel
from the door and forced an entr-
ance. There was a beautiful fire in
the fire place, and the reflection from
it was playing quite harmlessly on
the opposite wall.

WIRELESS WAVES.
PuzzIing Problems With Which Scien-

PuxzIing Problems With Which Seien-
lists Have to Contend.
What we don't know about wireless
telegraphy is still by far the larger
part Of that science. Practical efforts
to use this means of communication
are constantly hampered by difficulties
that cannot be overcome or only par
TALLY overcome by clumsy makeshifts
because they are not understood.
For example. the characterization of
the waves used in wireless telegraphy
as artificial is justified because the
ether is in a state of constant pulsa
ton with waves of enormous length
about whose origin we know nothing
or next to nothing. Some of them are
due undoubtedly to lightning. but they
are continuously rolling in on antennae
properly tuned when there is no thun-
derstorm within thousands of miles.
1t has been suggested that they are of
extra terrestrial origin. perhaps the
result of electrical disturbances in the
sun. Some ingenious spectators have
even attributed them to the Martians
or some other of our planetary neigh
bors.
But the fact is that we don't know
where they come from or how they are
generated. They manifest themselves
in the shape of troublesome noises in
the telephone receivers at wireless tel
egraph stations. Another puZzling
question. perhaps of more practical
Importance to the wireless worker. is
the action of the weather on his trains
of waves. When these signals have
long distances to travel the weather
often plays havoc with them in ways
as yet not we'll understood The diff
ferent carrying capacity of the ether
in the daytime and at night is another
practical problem still awaiting def
mite solution.-New York Post.
