WARNS KING OF ENGLAND
AstroIogist Tells George to Beware
Of Evil Days in March of
Next Year.

Boston.-That King George Of Eng
land must beware of evil days next
March is the prediction of Catharine
H. Thompson, astrologist. Miss
Thompson bases her prediction on the
fact that Jupiter enters Pisces, q
watery, unstable sign, next March. and
aff1icts the kings radical sun, and sick
ness and trouble should increase
rather than diminish. While Jupiter
was passing through Aquarius this
year, she says, trouble for the king was
allayed. Something extraordinary will
happen, she predicts. such as the siege
of London, the fall of Westminster alb.

PUBLIC LED BY CONVENTION
Fact Explains Why Reality in Any
Form of Art Comes as Some
thing of, Shock.

We are all such creatures of conven-
ton that the first impression made by
reality in any form Of art is sometimes
a distinct shock and we close the win
dows of our intelligence and draw the
blinds, that the fresh air and the new
light may not enter it. Just as no
form of art is SO strange as life, so
it may be the strangeness of reality
in books, in pictures, and in music that
makes our attitude one of resistance
rather than of welcome.
Virgin snow often looks blue, but it
took courage to paint it blue, because
people judge not by eyesight, but by
convention, and snow conventionally is
assuredly white. In reading books of
fiction we have become so accustomed
to conventions that we hardly notice
how often they contradict reality. In
many novels have read I.have been
introduced to respectable women with
scarlet lips, whereas in life never
saw a really good woman with
such labial curiosities. Conversations
are conventionally unnatural. A triv-
ial illustration will suffice. Someone
in a group makes a proposition.
Agreed" cried they all. Did you
ever hear anyone say "Agreed?'-

HAT AND THE HABITATIoN
Architect Shows How the One Has
Always Borne Strong Relation
to the Other.

A wellknown architect has pointed
out that the form of the hat bears q
certain relation to buildings of prim.
tive nature-huts. He has invited at,
tention to the curious resemblance
that has existed, and that is still to be
found in many countries between
headgear and habitations or other
buildings. 1t may be that the same
taste, or the lack of it, has given rise
to the similarity of style, or in the be.
ginning the designer of the hat may
have taken the hut as a model
In the Hawaiian islands, long before
the inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves, they built grass
houses, and at the present time the
characteristic Hawaiian hat is remark.
ably like the hut.
The turbans of the dignitaries of the
Eastern church are still of the shape
OF those worn by the high priests
among the Jews of olden times, and
they are extraordinarily like the char
acteristic domes that surmount
mosques. Again, it is pointed out, the
high-pointed spires of Gothic churches
were contemporaneous with the high
horn-like headdress known as the hem
min.
1t is believed, too, that like results
may be found after a comparison of
other styles of architecture with the
headgear of the period wherein they
fourished.

The Physicians Life.

The study of medicine is an en-

The physicians life is daily exempli-

sensitiveness that inspires sympathy
with pain and misery is weapon in

wherewith they deal dreadful wounds.

Hunting Echoes With an Arc Light.
Locating echoes by light beams,
with subsequent correction of bad
acoustics, has been developed into an
exact science by experimenters in the
University of Illinois. Beams from an
arc light are directed from the stage
to all parts of an auditorium and the
DETECTION of light from walls and pill
lars is noted. Results are checked up
by observing the sound of the kissing
travelling in the same course as the
light.
Experience has shown just what
conditions produce the most trouble

given by the light beams the ~condi-

ONLY SOCIALIST CONGRESSMAN

Meyer London, elected to repre-
sent the Twelfth district of New York,
is the first Socialist to be sent to
congress by any eastern state, and is
the sole representative of his party
in the national government For IL
years he has been legal adviser OF
the Jewish Trades union, and he won
fame by his able conduct of the strikes
of the cloakmakers in 1910 and of the
furriers in 1912. The big East side of
the metropolis is devoted to him. OF
him it has been said: He pursues
radical ends through constitutional
means"
One part of London's~ duty in
congress, as he sees it, will be to in

WOMAN DOCTOR IN THE WAR ZONE

DR.. Mary Crawford of Brooklyn is
me of the few woman doctors to go
70 the war zone in Europe. Mary
Crawford wanted to be something
more than a trained nurse, so she
spent seven years at Cornell, being
graduated with the medical class OF
"Oughty-seven."
One day Miss Crawford read
something in the newspapers about
vacancies at the Williamsburg hos
pital She sent for application blanks.
They read:
"Any one desiring the Williams
burg hospital, etc."
She filled out the blank and, in
some way, the Mary" of her name
passed unnoticed. But when she pre-
sented herself the hospital authorities
we're dumfounded They had woman
on their hands for nearly two years.
But out of IS applicants she had
passed highest of all and the hospital
was game 1t is said that it's recep-
ton of Doctor Crawford was splendid.

Noble and the Canal Locks.

Alfred Noble rendered a unique en-
cheering service to the United States
at a critical moment. He prevented it
from making the blunder of building a
sea level canal at the isthmus.
All the foreign engineers and three
of the American engineers united in a
majority report advising the construc-
ton of a sea level canal. Five Ameri-
can engineers, with Mr.. Noble at the
head, stood out IL favor of lock canal.
We say "Mr. Noble at the head" be-
cause from his long experience in con-
nection with the lock at Sault Ste.
Marie he was better able than any en-
gfneer upon the commission to speak
authoritatiyely with respect to the con-
struction and operation of great ship
canal locks. To Alfred Mobiles discern
