tage is gained by increasing the
number of blades, because the ed
dy produced by one interferes
with the effective working of its
immediate follower, and that with
the next, and so on. Four is about
the maximum number ever en-
ployed.
The ordinary aeroplane propel-

and besides they have the bad
property of vibrating when In
motion.
Wooden blades DO not have
these disadvantages, and they can
more easily be shaped to the pre-
else curves and proportions which
experience has shown are the best.
The standard wood employed is
walnut. The blade is never cut
out as a single piece. Instead it
is built up OF several layers. These
are glued together. a special glue

they are gradually trimmed down

Moral Bankruptcy First.

Failures can be traced to def
mite causes; and almost without
exception moral bankruptcy pro-
cedes the financial smash.
And while we all fail In GER
tain things every day the man
who fails absolutely Is = very
rare proposition, with something
peculiarly abnormal IN his con-
stitution. The Law OF Average
win show that most OF our acts
and decisions are right and prop
er and altogether worthy
Mentally, the failure Is de-
fective, physically q wreck. and
morally a degenerate.
Really. take us as we run, We
are not such bad lot after all
The number Of failures seems
large, because news usually
means bad news. Success and
good news are not so often pro-
claimed from the housetops The
happy, efficient, successful people
go quietly about their business
and these are in the vast ma
jority
Failure is the rare exception
Man was made for success. lie
who has nobly and patiently
worked at a worthy task has al
ready succeeded.
And even omnipotence can not
make the past never to have been
The past is ours, and death can
not rob US of it.

Penalties of Fashions,

Men of fashion must have felt ex- quisitely uncomfortable in the days of beaver hats weighing ten times as much as the heaviest hats of today Sir Algernon West remembers wearing about 1850 "a pair of dove colored trousers with two fluted stripes down the sides and buttoned under the foot with broad stripes of the same mate

Indeed. every hat had a cres- cent of cloth on the back of the brim to prevent the rubbing of the beaver or imitation beaver of which the hat was made. for silk hats were not then invented. ."-London Spectator.

TREES THAT ROB THE SEA.
Nipa Palms and Mangroves of Sara
 walk Are Land Builders.

Nipa Palms and Mangroves of Sara
 walk Are Land Builders.
 The river banks in Sarawak British protectorate in Borneo) are lined with nipa palms and mangroves. At low tide you can see the mangroves stand ing on trestles of black woody roots, looking like snakes writhing in the bright green leaves thirty to forty feet in height form aquatic forests at the mouth of the rivers all along the coast. Each branch is weighed down by fruit, which when ripe drops into the mud and starts new tree.
 The nipa palm has matted roots, which easily retain the fotsam and jetsam carried down by the unceasing current of the waters. and it has an angular fruit, which, like that of the mangrove, sinks into the mud, germi- mates and forms forests on its own ac- count. The incessant action of these encroaching trees adds continually to the land. Indeed, there are certain aged natives who have been heard to say that part of the coast near Sirik, although exposed to the constant surf of the northeast monsoon. has en- croached on the sea for two miles or more during their lifetime.
 When the land reclaimed by the mangroves and nipa palms becomes drier the trees die and give place to other tropical vegetation.-From "Ra- nee of Sarawak" in Wide World Maga. zine

IT WAS A GOOD PORTRAIT.
And 1t Had a Soldering Effect Upon
 "HoIlering Jones'"

And It Had a Soldering Effect Upon "HoIlering Jones.' A well known illustrator who makes interesting western pictures once made the acquaintance of noisy but good humored cowboy who rejoiced in the appellation of "Hollering Jones'" In physical appearance this man was typical of his kind. and the artist made several studies of him, both in repose and in his favorite diversion of ''holler- ing" Some of the studies were sold by the artist to an eastern magazine. They showed Jones in his most violent state. A year later the artist again visited the region. He was soon approached by MT. Jones himself. bearing one of the pictures. which he had torn from the magazine in which it was printed. Pointing to 1t. he said:
 "Is that mel"
 "Well," replied the artist evasively, "I got the general idea from you, of course, but
 "Oh. ain't takin' no offense," Jones made haste to say. Its all right; only if it's me say sO."
 eff you put it to me that way" said the artist. "I can only reply that it is fairly good portrait of you"
 '"rhe men here on the ranch agree with you So look like that when I holler. do I?'
 Il think you do.'
 "In that case," said Hollering Jones, "all I've got to say is that Hollering Jones has hollered his last holler. Hereafter, when celebrates does so with tin horn. In my opinion no man has right to look like that-not round white folks. anyhow."-Youth's Con- | paniOn.
