The Moon and Timber.

It may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unsci-
entitic and unprovable claim has long
held place In the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach
ings of tradition without much con-
Germ about cause and effect; but 1t
is rather late in the day now for edu-
Gated people to attribute to the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
If there Is anything certain 1t is
that the moon has no observable effect
on the flow OF trees sap or on the
characters and qualities of the wood.
1t can be argued scientifically that
it cannot have, and it has been dem
onstrated in practice that 1t does not
have such effect. Apparently there is
some mistake in the statement that
the telling is done by moonlight, or
with regard to any phase of the moon
Accounts OF modern mahogany-logging
operations in America and Africa do
not mention that custom. In some of
the tropical regions hauling logs from
the woods is done at night because the
heat by day cannot be endured by the
men and teams Hardwood Record.

Fear Of the Automobile.

Child training, especially when it
runs counter to the impulse of free
dom, is difficult work. But one of
the first things the child learns is
fear of death. One mother makes a
careful practice of reading to her two
small children every newspaper ac-
count Of the death of a child under an
automobile. She leaves out any hor.
rible details Of the accident which
might injure the child's sensibilities,
but she impresses the event on the
childs mind by giving the name Of the
unfortunate victim, its age and as
nearly as possible the location of the
accident.
Both mother and school teacher
may impress on the child mind the
dangers of the streets and cite daily
examples of the result OF child care
lessness. 1t is one of the best means
by which the youngsters may be con.
vinced Of the need for exercising eau.
ton.
The killing Of children under the
wheels of automobiles has started
with the coming of summer, and more
are likely to follow. Keep the child
informed of the manner Of each acci-
dent.

The king of Denmark rules over a
corpulent nation. Prof. Lyde. who
holds the chair of economic geog-
raphy at University college, declares
that from one end Of Denmark to
the other you would not find really

"The rapid development OF dairy
farming in Denmark tends to make
men lazy. The private houses adjoin
the byres, which are kept at warm
and equabIe temperature and the pee
pie are employed in warm buildings,
living chiefly on milk and cereals; thS
men get so lazy that they will not
take the trouble to cut up their food
