I can't Help thinking that Bill
Tenney is just like all the other
men. He thinks of himself first
of all.
He got tired of his wife-doll, SO
he left her, as he supposed, all
safe In her little home and went
sailing over the sea of Irritation
with many other girl-dolls. These
too, he tired of one after another
until he found a very clever, as
we'll as beautiful girl-doll. He
made up his mind that he would
play with her always: but. alas !!
she got tired of him and threw
him over for another man. Then
he said to himself; "Ill go back
to my little old wife-doll that
have safe up in the little home
where | left her." and to his sur
prise the wife-doll also declined
to be left alone or played with al
his convenience and mood. She
was going to be some other man s
doll-wife. Then he went about
feeling very much abused and
asking for sympathy OF every
pretty girl he met.
This is only a depression, little
book, and perhaps IL is not worth
while to keep Mollie's affairs
waiting longer. She, of course,
didn't know what he said to her,

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.
It's a Mistake, Says Scientist, to Say
They Emit Sounds.


German scientists are greatly inter-
ested in discussion regarding new
phenomena revealed by the aurora
borealis, according TO recent Norwe-
gian and German observers. People
living in the northern part of Norway
maintained that they often hear sounds
accompanying the northern lights
These sounds are described by some
,as similar to the cracking of flames.
Accordingly German and Norwegian
scientists started out TO investigate
the phenomena. and one of them. Olav
Aabakken, has spent long time at
the Halde observatory in Finmarken
Aabakken thinks that it is very un-
likely that any sound is TO be heard
from the northern lights. lie main
tains that the human senses are not
to be relied on. especially regarding
the phenomena of sight.
Aabakken says that the idea OF
sound connected with the northern
lights may result from the fact that
these lights look like flames, and as
people are accustomed TO associate the
cracking sound with flames the rath-
err uncritcal observer Of the blazing
movements of the aurora borealis is
apt to think that he really hears the
sound of those fiames-New York
