Drownjno Season Here.

Don't rock the boat! It Is not mere ly a foolish sort of joke to do 1t; 1t Is very frequently murderous or suicidal joke. If you cannot swim do not wade out where the water is up to your chin. If you do, you may sud- denly step into a hole that lifts the water above your mouth and nose, and when that happens the chances are large that 1t will be your funeral the next day or as soon as your re- mains can be found. Don't dive from a high place without being sure the water is not so shallow as to result in your head striking bottom. Don't crowd five people into boat made for three, or three people into a boat made for two. Don't play foolish pranks such as pushing boy who cannot swim into deep water. Don't 20 out on the bay in small motor boat. A storm may come up and your small ship be capsized.
 The drowning season is here. There has never been a summer within the memory of the oldest citizen of the city that has not been marked by drowning tragedies.

Now, after a few short years. it is hard to find single issue of a daily paper that does not record some note worthy example of the use of wireless telegraphy.
 Levasser was the great engineer who sketched the automobile with such skill that his design has not been materially changed to this day. After Levassor accomplished his historic trip from Paris to Bordeaux and return, at the dizzy speed of about fifteen miles an hour, his admirers gave him a banquet. During the toasts, one of them, stirred by the spirit of the oc- casion, rose and enthusiastically called on the assembly to drink to the ap- preaching day when carriages should travel at the speed of sixty miles an hour. Levassor turned to his near est neighbor and asked in quick undertone, Why is it that after every banquet some people feel called on to make fools of themselves ?''-Les Inventions Illustrees.

CONCERNING MAN WHO LOVED
j and Everything Except Neighbor x on Party Telephone Line.

There was once man who tried to love his neighbors. He began with those next door and succeeded in lov- ing them very satisfactorily. although one of them kept chickens and the oth- CT one was a rival and perhaps supe- rior gardener, From these concrete examples he proceeded to demonstrate his ability to love the abstract var riety of neighbors which includes ev- erybody and everything. He not only loved his neighbors' chickens, but he loved his neighbors' garden-even the arrogant tomatoes that bloomed and f1ourished there while those in his own garden pined away. He loved the ice man and the light and gas and water men and he would have loved the man who cleaned the streets if he had been certain of his existence.
 He loved the gentleman across the street who tinkered with his motor car all day Sunday, and he loved the woodpecker that hammered the water spout outside his bedroom window at five o'clock each morning. He loved the neighbors' children.s although they pulled his pansies, and he pretended that he loved the beetles that fed on the hearts of his rosebuds. He loved hot weather and cold weather, and ex- pressed a peculiar affection for the weather man.
 All these he loved, and many more, but there was one neighbor that he could not love. It was the neighbor who was said to be on the same party telephone line with him. It is doubt. full if anybody has ever succeeded in loving that elusive, ever-present some body who seems to live on his party line. It has long been matter of re- gret that one half of the world did not know how the other half lived. By means of the party line we have found out all about it, and very unprofita ble piece of knowledge 1t has been We know too much about the neigh bor on our party line, and he knows too much about us. &
 This man might have succeeded in loving his neighber on his telephone line if he had met him over the gar den fence, but they were forever as saulting each other with unexpected and irritable "helloes," and with vehe ment requests from each to the other to "get off the line" When he called up his wife in the morning his neigh bor's wife answered him. and wher he tumbled down the stairs to answer his telephone in the night the neigh bor sent him back to bed humillated And then his wife and the neighbor's wife met at luncheon where the lat ter induced the former to listen to 2 weary recital of the telephone habits of the folks on their party line" O course there was no chance after that It seems that 1t cannot be done. Int party telephone lines connect us tot closely with our neighbors to permi us to love each other.

WISE PROVISIONS OF NATURE
NutritIve Conditions Such That Man Is Enabled to Live in Any
 Part of Earth.

Two studies recently made by Eu- ropean scientists illustrate the range in nutritive conditions to which the human being can adapt himself.
 In one case an Eskimo on the island of Disco in western Greenland con sumed in one day nearly four pounds of boiled meat corresponding to G5 grams of nitrogen and 218 grams of fat This is said to be far below the record figure among these people, who eat very large meals at irregular and somewhat infrequent intervals.
 Indigestion and other nutritive dis orders, however, are rare among them, and their physical endurance and re- sistanee to cold is very high. The way the above extraordinary meal was uti- lized by this Eskimo was found to be very satisfactory.
 The other study was of man in Copenhagen "who was able to main tain himself in excellent nutritive equilibrium and muscular efficiency through long periods of months, not merely days, on a diet essentially com posed of potatoes and margarin. :" Four pounds of potatoes were eaten daily, yielding 3.62 grams of digest ible nitrogen which with the margarin amounted to 3,900 calories.
 When hard work had to be per formed this man ate eight pounds of potatoes with liberal additions of fat, so that the entire energy content was brought up to 5000 calories with 10 grams of digestible nitrogen. No dila- tation of the stomach was found to result from these monster meals.
 Such curiosities of the literature of nutrition simply show the great adapt ability of the human organism, which has enabled man to live in every re- zion of the earth. It is needless to say that neither the maximum nor the minimum of any nutritive element is desirable. The normal individual lives in the safe medium.

COULD NOT SEE THE FUTURE
Two Men of Great Inventive Ability Who Had Not the Quality
 of Foresight.

Not infrequently great inventors do no comprehend the significance of the thing they have produced. An inter- esting anecdote of two famous men of science whose foresight did not equal their inventive ability follows.
 i When Hertz first began to obtain satisfactory results from his now ia, nous researches into the possibility of transmitting electric waves, certain men of science suggested that some day similar vibrations might serve to transmit messages through space. Hertz laughed at the hypothesis, and assured all corners that his experi- ments were for laboratories only.

Set Of by Human Electricity.

The theory that a mans body may contain enough electricity to set off charge of explosive was put forward by a British government expert on combustibles to account for an ex- plosion at Stowmarket which resulted in the death of four men. Major Cooper-Key. the expert, expressed the opinion that one of the man had &C., cumulated electricity in his body, "and not having earthed himself, a spark passed through dangerous commod- ity and so caused it to explode. He added: "It was an exceptional accl- dent, which could probably have been prevented by the insertion of a metal stud in the workers rubber overshoes. A regulation to this effect will prob- ably be made in the future"

How Edward Can Draw.

Edward was showing Miss Brown how we'll he could draw COW. As he drew, he glanced from time to time at a COW grazing in nearby yard.
 'This is her nose," he said, draw ing a curved line.
 Here's her body" he explained, and after look at his model he added an other curved line.
 Now here's her tail,' and he placed a curved line opposite the so-called nose.
 As he held the finished drawing up for inspection, an embarrassed smile spread over his countenance.
 Perhaps we'd better call 1t a pump." he said.-Youth's Companion.

REALLY NOT HIS LINE
TERROR" SATISFIED HE WAS IN

Of Course He Had Killed Eleven Men and Never Been Licked, but at
 That He Had Mistaken iRt He Vocation.

When we opened the old Four x" in Nevada, it was no time at all be- fore lively town was founded and hundreds of people came pouring in. In those days every community had its terror. He was supposed to be able to outdrink, outyell, outshoot and outright everything on legs in his ju- risdiction. Sometimes he was free lance and again he was employed as a sort of policeman. We wanted 8 man to protect company property and one day a giant of a chap weighing 205 pounds and six feet tall applied for the place.
 Are you a fighter?" was the first question asked of him.
 T am." replied he. I've had 29 fights in seven weeks"
 Afraid of anything mortal?'
 Nothing mortal or immortal"
 Shoot both handed?" 4s
 q do." sNM
 Use the bowie knife?"
 Perfectly at home with it, sir"
 How many men have you killed this last year?"
 Well, this has been an of year with me, as was sick in bed for six weeks and so haven't got but leven."
 Suppose. now, that a terror from some other camp should come over here to clean you out? Have you ever met any other terror and downed him "a genuine terror, from the headwa- ters of Fighting creek?"
 T can't say that I ever have, sir not regular terror, sir
 Then you can't tell how you would act?"
 Why, should probably fight him. y
 But you can't say for sure. How ever come back at four o'clock this afternoon"
 We sent over to Cedar Flats, five miles away, for their terror. We knew him to be the genuine stuff, and when he arrived we posted him as to what was wanted. At four o'clock when our alleged terror returned to the shaft, the Cedar Flats terror suddenly waltzed out on him with hair-raising whoop and called out:
 ''Whar's the bloody, bloomin' hyena who has been passing hisself off around here as a fighter? Whoop! Maugh, Ugh! Somebody pint him out to me and then tie my hands and legs while I bite his ears off"
 Our alleged terror turned pale and looked nervous and the Cedar Flats man pranced around cracking his heels together and shouting:

The man who had been eating oys- ters off the half shell stopped long enough to eject a hard substance, which dropped to the floor and rolled under the counter.
