School Pupils Savings.

The constant drive for thrift is
having effect not only among the older
people, but among school children, as
seen by the report of sixty-One saw
ings banks formed in as many Chica-
go public schools last year The re-
port shows that 1858 children saved
S27 1854, and of this amount SILL
200.90 has been transferred to regular
banks. Six pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades conduct the banks Any
sum from five cents up may be depos-
tied, and as soon as pupils account
amounts to. SIS, it is transferred to a
regular bank and an account with the
pupil is opened. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that rural schools will adopt
the teaching of thrift as a subsidiary
course. The money could be depos-
tied in the local banks in savings de-
partments to pay three or three and
one-half per cent. interest. When the
account amounts to $25, it could be
withdrawn and a $100 bond paying
four and a half or five per cent could
be bought. Many reputable bond
houses will sell hundred dollar bond
on the installment plan, paying the
full amount Of interest on the amount
deposited until the face value of the
bond it paid in full.

Thinking.

Few men really think, although each
would deny the accusation Although
man is supposed to be a rational
thinking animal, thinking is actually
the hardest work and the rarest he
does. We hear a thing, ordinarily
and Immediately form an opinion
about it. Usually self-interest is at
the bottom Of our conclusions. We
are told for instance, that woman stuff
rage is a good thing and we ought to
have a law allowing women to vote
Do we look into the matter? Do we
study the arguments for and against
woman's suffrage? 1t is the same
with the tariff, prohibition, the unions
the Mexican situation, the European
war, in fact everything we have any
thing to do with How much more
rational it would be to hold up our
judgement on a question until we have
had an opportunity to study it from
every angle. Then form an opinion
and stand or fall by that opinion, I'M
til we learn something Of which we
have been in ignorance that might
change our minds on the subject Not
to be open to conviction is pig-headed
Narrowness is the bane of our whole
system of civilization Let your mind
be open to every argument, and think
think for yOurself.-Yx

WHY MILK REFLECTS LIGHT
Consisting Of Minute DropIets of Fat,
It Throws Back Rays in Every
Direction.

One is often apt to forget that color
that anything which reflects light per
fectly will be the color of that light.
The most nearly perfect form to re-
feet is a sphere. The moon is bright
because it reflects the sun The earth
is bright for the same reason, as one
can see at the time of new moon,
when the part of the moon hidden
from the sun by the earth shines faint
ly from reflected earth light.
Milk Is like collection of moons
1t is a liquid filled with minute DROP
lets Of fat, each of them a perfect
sphere When the light strikes these,
it is reflected at every angle, reflect
ed on to other droplets of fat and by
them reflected on and on, until from
every point in the milk the white light
that strikes on the outside is re-
f1ected.
Think of marbles made of looking
glass, but so small that several thou
sand could be put on the head of a
pin, and you will see the reason for
the reflection, or the white color of
milk.
When, in the case of milk, the num-
Der of these little rejecting drops
grows smaller, then the light is not re-
Elected so much, and the liquid grows
more transparent. Absence Of full re-
Election makes milk less white, or, in
sense, more blush, as the semitrans-
parency of air makes blue sky, and of
water blue sea.

Work of the Phonometer.

The phonometer of DR.. A. g. Web
ster not only shows the intensity of
sound but is claimed to tell its direc-
ton within very few degrees. 1t Is
so small that it can be carried ON the
smallest vessel-even a rowboat. It
resembles a surveyors transit with
two projecting horns at the end op-
posite the user, and the sound enter
ing the horns is focused upon deli
cate diaphragm, which moves q
needle by its vibrations. Close to the
lens at the eye end is tiny electric
bulb, the light of which Is reflected
in mirror moved by the needle. The
instrument is turned until the sound
is received most loudly by the horns,
when the needle reaches it's maximum
movement, and the band Of light is
greatest The tube Is then pointing
directly toward the source of sound.

Real mEish Story"

An ancient Californian Indian tribe
whose relics have been found are
said to have used the bones from a
whales head, painted red, as head and
footstones for their burial cairns, al
though the burial place was nearly
100 miles from the sea. These were
obtained, of course, from the well
known flying whale of revered mem
DRY, which the Indians attracted by
shouting In loud tone their word for
Jonah. Thereupon the whale, slath-
ering with anticipation, would think
to perch on mountain, which, al
though 100 miles distant, looked near
at hand in the pure western air, and
before he could recover his equili-
brium he would fall to earth and be-
come victim of the savages' rude
implements of war. The annual
catch is supposed to have run as high
as 10000 whales.-Springfield Repub-

TRACED TO BEN FRANKLIN
the Pioneer In Campaigns for
Public Health.

1t has been mentioned as an inter-
esting fact that the success of cam
paigns for public health from time
to time have been largely due to the
facility of leaders in putting their
thought into epigrams. Franklin was
a pioneer with his Public health is
public wealth.
Disraeli coined the phrase, "The
care of the public is the first duty of
a statesman" and Gladstone said:
'In the health Of the people lies the
strength of the nation"
Our modern "Swat the fly" and "Bat
the rat" are briefly characteristic of
the time and probably more effective
than their more elegant predecessors.
The latest claimant to popular favor
seems to be "The health and happi-
ness of the people are paramount to
every ISSUE" This epigram has been
done into button to be carried in
lapels.
