1t is extraordinary how unending
are the energies of men and women in
the seeking Of occasion to organize So
cieties. 1t is a dull day when there
is no new league or association added
to the list Of those that think they
have a useful mission to perform in
the world. says Chicago Evening Post.
One of the latest and most hopeless.
We should think, is the International
Latin society. just incorporated in
New York. ito introduce methods for
increasing interest in Latin and its
use as a living language" The time
seems u~npropitious for such q ven
ture. Somehow the present appears
to us rather full of more interesting
matters. Still, we doubt not. the de-
voted founders of this society will
urge that the adoption Of Latin as a
world language may hasten the day
when war will be impossible. It Is
certain that the movement-if It ever
moves-will be hitched up to the wal
in some fashion.

There is no language SO beautiful as
our own English tongue, when 1t is
spoken beautifully. 1t is a wonderful
possession; but like many other things
which we nave always had, we under
estimate it and abuse it until it is de-
preciated. One of the chief ways in
which we mistreat our language is in
o~ver-accenting our words. Foreigners
are always quick to notice this. They
find it lard to understand us because
we bring out the one syllable that is
accented and slur all the others. AS
they say. we bang out" the accent,
but care nothing about the rest of the
word. By this fault, Of which near
ly all Americans are guilty, the Ian
guage is robbed Of it's harmonious
flow, as we'll as Of intelligibility. It
is always noticeable that persons Of
most culture speak most distinctly.
and this is a mark of breeding that
everyone can try for. To speak clear
ly. giving each word its correct value,
indicates a certain amount Of knowl-
edge. while the opposite way of
speech is often an index Of ~slovenly
habits of thought, If not illiteracy.

Wrestling is the most scientific and
strenuous of indoor sports. Ours is
an g when skill and supreme effort
are valued as seldom before. Yet
wrestling sinks lower in public favor
year by year. Why? The answer is
clear to all who will read the re-
port Of a recent match. "Grunt with
pain" Much Distress. "a punish
ing body lock" Great agony"
"Writhed in agony" These are some
Of the expressions sprinkled down
the page, and they do not seem too
strong. The first fall was not proper
ly a fall at all; one of the contestants
had secured a hold causing such
frightful pain that the other had to
yield. In the second bout, the victor
made another attack on his oppon-
ent's ore leg and kept twisting it I'M
til the weaker man went down. The
time consumed in these gentle opera
lions was SO minutes for the first

ond. An hour and a half of watch
ing men torture each other. Small
wonder the crowd Kissed and
"boohed." Wrestling will win no great
favor from a modern community until
it becomes a little more lively and Q
good deal less brutal.

opportunity Of working on a parity

foundations of whose lifework have
been laid with infinite care and skill,
1t is no wonder that he is handicapped

be satisfied, as a rule, with the small

Many persons are wondering these
days what material is being used in
the construction OF aeroplanes of the
warning European nations. Constant
f1ying-service which continues day
after day-has caused a belief that
metal has supplanted wood to a con
siderable extent. AS a matter of fact
the flying machines are made almost
entirely of wood. The propellers of
the aeroplanes are in most instances
made Of selected ash, which in addi-
ton to being strong and light. will not
split under vibration or shock. Built
up layers of spruce with mahogany
centers are also in use. Spruce is
used in the construction of the frame
because of its markedly straight grain
and freedom from hidden defects .

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity. The charge
is often positive, rarely negative. Many
observers have measured the charge
approximately, and made it from O.000,-
O00, 000, 900, 00O.01 to 5000. 900, 600, 900
O01 amper per quare centImeter.
Prof. F. Herath of Kiel describes in
the Revue Electrique the experiments
by which he has measured them. He
received the rain on a fine metallic
cloth p meters square, insulated and
attached to a g~alvanOmeter in a cellar.
The galvanOmeter registered photo
graphically. Among the facts he
proves are these: Rains with a con
s~tantly positive charge are much more
frequent than hose that change to a
negative. The passage from a posi-
tive to a negative charge corresponds
to a momentary cessation of the show

tricity brought by the rain is IS times
greater than that of the negative. The
positive current in a steady rainfall
are O000. 0O0, 000, 000,1 ampheres per

rents never exceed 0.0OO. 900, O0O, 900.

THE OLD MAN.

What can an old man do but der
sang an embittered singer. What, in
deed! In the Oslerobsessed world
what remains for the elderly man
human needs will not permit
to sit by the f1resice? The cry in
all lines of human endeavor is for
young men. The older men. steps
slowing, eyes dimming, shoulders
dropping, are ~"scrapped' and sent to
the human junk heap along with other
waste material OF humanity. In sane
Europe, previous to August 1, the old
man had a place. He was a mender
Of roads. a tender of looms, a gate
tender, a toy-finisher, something that
gave him some part in the days work.
In American cities he has been a
sweeper of streets and a va Gilman,
but the tendency is toward the en-
ployment of younger men in these
places. In his America of the femin-
list trend women are doing much of
the work that has for generations
fallen to the male whose powers were
beginning to fail. We have not yet
come to the plan of old-age pensions,
but these must come unless a place
can be made for old men of America
in the vast and complicated machinery
of American industries. With every
period of business depression the ne
cessity for making a decision comes a
little nearer. To place the old man at
work might mean the slowing down of
some of these industrial devices of
ours that are somewhat overspeeded.
To assume old-age pensions means ad
ditiOnal tax burdens.

AMUSING HOSPITAL SITUATION.

An amusing situation has developed
In British hospitals as q result Of the
large number Of young women who
have taken to nursing wounded SOL
diers in a way more sentimental than
practical. "Too sick to be nursed to-
day" is said to have been q placard
placed over the bed Of a soldier wound
ed in the South African campaign, and
something Of the sort seems to be
needed now. The trained nurses pro-
test that young women OF and
social influence who have swarmed
into the hospitals do more harm than
good by 'fussing over" patients. The
matter has been brought officially to
the war Office by the organized train
ed nurses who number about 5000.
One trained nurse said that il Lord
Kitchener had called for $1,000
nurses instead of 500, 900 men for mill
-tary duty, he would have had that
number the next morning. In view OF
the fact that many trained nurses are
quite as pretty as the volunteers and
are also much more competent. a
wounded soldier is not to be blamed
for desiring n who is useful as well
as ornamental, says Birmingham Age
Herald. Lord Knutsford stated in a
letter to the London Times that un-
trained nurses would be more accept
able if they would be photographed
less, would wear their uniforms more
modestly, would talk less in public
about their patients and would not be
ute so aggressive.
