AUTOMATIC POLICEMEN

An automatic traffic policeman,
which picks itself up every time it is
knocked down by careless driver,
is one of the latest of the many in
VentiOns to control vehicuar traffic
on crowded city streets. It's meta,
cylinder about four feet high, which
is placed in the roadway at the mid
die of the intersection of two streets,
aud is intended to warn drivers
against the dangerous practice Of
cutting across from one street to
another instead of making Il safe
turn at right angles.
The automatic policeman is at
tached to spring hidden in deep
hole in the pavement. Ii the wheel
Of a passing motor truck strikes the
sign and knocks iC down the spring
goes to work and pulls the policeman
up to a standing position again. like
the toy figure that cannot be made
to lie down. Thirty of these are in
use in a Massachusetts city.
Another odd automatic policeman
is in service in San Francisco. High
in the air at the intersection of two
streets, and suspended by wires
from corner buildings, is an arrow
bearing the word Stop!
This arrow can be turned to stop
the traffic on one street, and then
turned to stopit on the cross street,
by the manipulation of buttons from
a convenient post at the street curb.
Each time the arrow moves, a bell
above it rings once or twice, in ac-
cordance with the usual whistle
signals for traffic; lut in case of a
fire, with the prospects that fire ap-
paratus will soon be along, the arrow
begins to whirl round and the bell
rings continuously, to signify that
all traffic on both streets must be
stopped

TREATING THE TEETH

One of the discoveries of science
in 1914 promises to save mankind in
the future from an enormous amount
of pain the tUothache Of pyorrhea
This disease Of the roots of the teeth
is very common in one degree or
another and vast numbers of people
feel its pain, eventually losing their
teeth from its development. The
cause of it has now been discovered,
and with the discovery comes a
hopeful line of treatment.
Some American scientists who
specialize in experimental medicine
have found that the disease is ac-
companied by a tiny micro-organism
called an amoeba, already familiar
to biologists. 1t was already known
that the drug emetine is a deadly
enemy Of amoebae; 50 the conclusion
was that emetine should be used to
cure pyorrhea.
Trials Of the new treatment were
SO encouraging that the story was
announced to doctors and dentists,
and the idea is being put to practical
use. Like all new treatments it
must go through a course of trials
il everyday practice before it can be
ace, pied as the long sought cure;
Uut it has the promise of being sue
cessfuI.
The discovcrers go step farther
and suggest that another form of
the drug be used in brushing the
teeth, in order to attack constantly
any of the stray amochao; and if
the treatment is the cure promised
it is quite TjktIy that some such drug

HOW TRUE

President Wilson's charge that the

period of mental inactivity back to
1885. Search the records and it will
be found that in that long space Of
time G.. 0. =. craftsmanship has
mainly consisted in jacking up the
tariff in return for liberal campajEu
contributions from protected BEN
ficiaries. Previous to 1885 the re

to Il successful finish and had
brought about the resumption Of
specie payments. Progress had also
been made in civil service reform.
Since then, however, they have dcue

these three great feats. For the last

IN THE BEGINNING

The earth in the beginning was
fOrmless, or in a gaseous state. AS
the substance cooled, it changed to
fire mist, or mineral vapor As the
fire mist cooled the liquid particles
coalesced and decended by gravity
toward the center. The molten
liquid began finally to accumulate at
the center 1t shaped itself into a
globe as the fiery precipitation con-
tinued Finally the greater portion
Of the fire mist had descended, and
molten earth stood forth, on new
born sun. In the beginning there
was light" But the powerful and
long continued comic storms ceased
finally. The powers of fire were at
last vanquished The waters gath
cred over the thin heated crust of
the earth furious with effervescence
and ebulation. The atmosphere,
once intensely arid, is now heavy
with vapor. The sun was hid from
the earth by low canopy, fed con-
stantIy by the vapOrs of heated
ocean. There was no land then, nor
was there light on the face Of the
deep. In the beginning the form
less earth contained the calcium, the
oxygen, the carbon; in fact, all the
elements which now compose the
earth and everything on it. Our
bones, our flesh, our very souls were
there which we destined to organize
themselves into human bodies. In
the beginning there were also the
substances which were destined to
swim, as fish, or to fly, as bird,
or to crawl, as reptile, or to walk
rs a mammal
The first day of the earth's ere
alton was truly archaean, when all
life was marine, in the form Of pro
tozoans. Heat and cold and the con
sequent expansion and the contrac-
tion of the earth's early crust pro-
duced wrinkles and folds which con-
slant oscillation. changes of level,
etc, greatly modified its cOnforma-
ton and nodded its present outline
| through successive ages. The earth S
crust during its archaehn day had
lis storms like the Pacific of today,
which threw up mountains of mol
ten sedimentary rocks which subse-
quenuy consolidated and clystalli2ed
as they cooled and, through the ac-
tion of the heated waters, heat,
electricity, etc, became metamOr-
phosed into GRANTEES, dioriles, sven
ties, schsts and gneisses, In this
cooling and crystaiiziDg processes it
is interesting to know that great
assures resulted which flied up
with heated waters from below, car

richness of an ore body is deter.
mined by the intensity and contin-
uity of this thermal action. If there
are evidences of the thermal action

continued, one may expect Il SpIen-

how much better he could conduct

memory.
Hezekiah had let 1t be known that
If, at any time, anybody should ever
catch him forgetting anything that
somebody could have his power of
memory. This is where the devil saw
his chance and laid his plans. So one
day the 'old Scratch" dressed him

the other and passed the compliments
of the day, then, presently. the devil
said:
"Hezekiah, of all the good things
that there are in the world to eat,
what one thing would you like best +"
After a moment of reflection Heze-
kiah replied: Chicken"
without further words the devil
turned and walked away. He stayed
away from Hezekiah for 20 years,
