Got In Wrong In the End.

They're SO particular about the Erg-
lish that is used in one of New York g
big high schools that 1t is considered
quite as much OF a disgrace for boy
to make use of a slang expression in
the classroom as 1t is for him to stick
pins in his teachers chair-and get
caught at It. Part of the plan to dis
courage boys in the use Of slang Is to
have them write essays on their daily
conversation. One boy Of fourteen
turned in a really well-written essay
which was surprisingly free Of gram
NAUTICAL errors and totally devoid of
slang. At the end, however. he Of
fered this: 1.-THE majority Of people,
after all, who do use slang. are low
brows and roughnecks."

TRAGEDIES CAUSED By LOVE

silver dollars. the furniture was stuffed
with them. whilst Jars and bottles were

Lost Life In Work Of Rescue.

A lifeboat man persisted at Worth
ing, England, during the gallant at
tempt of the crew Of the lifeboat Rich
ard Coleman to reach the schooner
Kingsmill in distress. The craft was
launched in record time. Some sol
diers lent a hand. several going waist
deep into the water to get the Hfe-
boat clear Of the beach Tremendous
seas, such as Coxswain Marshall said
he had never experienced before,
caused the lifeboat to capsize, but
it was of self-rightins pattern and the
crew were soon back in their places
A little later the lifebcat capsized
again and the drenched crew were
once more thrown into the water.
This time one of the men, Jack Bur-
CESS, failed to get back. His body
was recovered by men on the shore,
who practiced artificial respiration In
vain. Before the ifeboat could reach
her the schooner had been driven
ashore.

Probably as accurate an estimate
of the age of the human race as a
be made is that of the latest work
of Prof. James Geikie of Edinburgh
who concludes that man
first appeared in Europe from 100000
to 500,0 900 years ago. The number Of
years cannot be precisely stated, but
the geological evidence that the Pc
Rod is a vast one is impressive and
conclusive. The few thousand years
of written history are Insignificant by
comparison. Since paleolithic man
left the earliest traces of his exist
ence, there have been submergence
and ~re-elevation Of enormous tracts
of the earth's surface, erosion of val
leys and general lowering of the sur
face by denudation, a succession of
stupendous climatic revolutions, and
the alternate occupying of the con-
tinents by widely contrasting foras
and faunas-tundras, steppes and
great forests succeeding each other
again and again.

IMPORTANCE OF EXPRESSION.

The same may be said Of all the con-
ditions Of life The principal differ
ences that one notes in conduct are
the spirit which appears in express
sion. The value Of . deed consists
in the soul that one puts into 1t. Ono
may be perfectly accurate in voice.
motion, language and the formal parts
Of behavior. and yet there is no spirit
in it, no expression Of what the real
person is behind the deed. So. after
all. the most important thing In in
dividual life is its expression. The
only truth of a statement, q song, an
act, is the spirit that accompanies
them. This makes expression the
principal object Of education. There
can be no education without the devel
opment of the spirit. A man who may
know how to sing, but does not sing,
is not educated. Education is the most
practical matter. Its object is to dc
good, and there is no way Of doinl
good except through the direction Of
the spirit. Leave that out of consid
Grafton, and education becomes ne
more than a pile Of dead leaves.

This is the first great war in which
the combatants. Every operator has
a double task. He has to secure q

ingenuity has been concentrated on
the means of securing secrecy and i'm
munity from interference for wireless
messages. One of the ~cleverest means

the predetermined use of a variety Of
wave lengths" For the effective
transmission of wireless signals it is
necessary that the dispatching and
receiving stations should be Gin tune"
One of the essentials for syntony is q
common wave length" There is moth
ing to prevent a hostile receiving sta
ton tuning up" so as to receive the
signals passing between the stations
of the foe. Under these conditions the
code alone preserves secrecy. But If,
on the other hand, two stations decide
to alter their wave lengths" after
each three or four words, the caves
dropper is bound to lose part of the
message while searching for the new
wave length or pitch.
