Scientists are predicting that the
eugenic woman of the future is to
be taller than the woman of today,
plump and well-rounded, but not
fat, and her complexion will be ruddy
or brown. But the scientific sharks
are keeping silent about the eugenic
man of the future. Why? Is he to
be the compensation? Is woman S
future greatness to be paid for by
the erstwhile lords of creation? Is
the law of compensation to be OBJ
served by taking from man to give
to woman? In our minds eye we
can picture the future man, "a
weakened, spindle-legged pop-eyed,
bewhiskered, chinless, palsied and
timerous creature, running about be-
hind his magnificent wife like a
Pomer anian pup behind chorus
beauty from Watson's Beet Trust.
Occasionally he will be allowed to
exercise his muscles by acting as a
truck horse and carting home about
a ton and a half of dress goods, hats
and shoes from the bargain counters.
But ordinarily she'll just let him
stand around, waiting her orders.
AS his eugenic partner expands, his
lordship will contract until he be-
comes a mere nubbin, an excresence
on the body political wart on the
pickle. But what does man care?
Not rap! He's been paying bills
for women ever since he settled
Ewes first apple account. With a
little coaxing from the fair sex, he'll
put Bills for Women in any old
platform, put her up as his candidate
and 90 out and vote for her.

the dry column. The other arid
states are Washington, Oregon,

Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia,
West Virginia, Maine, Mississippi.
the total population of the dry states
is 81, S44, O43. The population OF

census. Ohio is the only state to

The state wide prohibition amend
ment voted on in 1914 lost by a
majority of nearly one hundred
thousand, and the county option law
was repealed by about twelve thous-
and majority. In addition to the
state wide prohibition amendment,
the people of Ohio will vote on an
amendment which will prevent q

The Bore.

Some student of the relatively unim-
portant but nevertheless entertaining
side lines of literary history has been
investigating the origin of the term by
which we characterize the man who
habitually blockades the channels Of
agreeable human intercourse. He has
decided that the word "bore" made
its first appearance I'm the letters of
Lord Carlisle and Of Selwyn, but that
they used it with reference not to a
creature, but to state or condition.
Thus In 1867 Carlisle wrote: II enclose
a package of letters, which, If they are
French, the Lord deliver you from the
bore" 1t was not until the beginning
Of the last century that the word was
applied to the person who wearies and
worries.-Boston Herald.

Why Steam Casts a Shadow.

Why does water cast no shadow,
while steam, which Is invisible, does
cast a shadow? Pure water In a state
Of rest Is of uniform density, and the
rays of light, although they may be re-
fracted, pass through it almost unim-
peded in parallel lines. Steam Is COM
posed Of vapor Of different degrees OF
density, intermingled usually with
some air, SO that the rays Of light en-
tering it are not uniformly refracted
and therefore interfere with and neu-
tralize each other to a considerable de-
gree, as counter or cross waves strike
each other down and tend to create a
smooth sea.-Chicago Herald.

''The young leaves, properly cooked,

1T BLANKETS THE FLAMES.
Sawdust In Certain Cases Is Splendid
Fire Extingusher.

Fire Extingusher.
We are not accustomed to regard
sawdust in the light of fire ex-
tinguisher. On the contrary, most
of us look upon it as fuel for the
flames and would never dream of
throwing it upon fire which we
were anxious to put out.
Nevertheless it is very valuable
indeed in certain fire emergencies,
especially in cases where little vol
umes of gasoline or other infam-
mable liquids have become ignited.
The motorist in particular will be
glad to know that there is perhaps
nothing within reach more effective
in such cases.
The principle upon which saw
dust works is obvious. Combustion
ceases as soon as there is not
enough oxygen to support it. That
is the reason that one may extin-
guish a small fire by simply cover
ing it with a cloth. The sawdust,
indeed, works precisely in this man
ner. Its particles adhere so closely
together that they effectually blan-
ket the burning body upon which
they are thrown, thus robbing the
fire of the oxygen necessary for it's
support.
1t will readily appear that while
sawdust may extinguish the flames
of gasoline or other volatile liquids
upon a floor or fiat surface, it is
likely to fail when the liquid is in
receptacle which gives it some
depth. In such cases the sawdust
naturally sinks below the surface
very quickly, thus admitting oxygen
to the liquid and permitting the
flames to break out anew.
But with such liquids as heavy
oils, lacquers, japans, melted wax
and the like, sawdust very effect
ually blankets the entire surface
and so extinguishes the flames
speedily and satisfactorily.
The character and condition of
the sawdust do not matter. Wet or
dry, of hard wood or soft wood, if
it is applied to the confagration
quickly and 80 applied as to blanket
the entire surface of the flames, it
will be entirely effective.
The success will be even more
striking if common baking soda is
added to the sawdust in the proper
ton of ten pounds to the bushel.
When heated this chemical gives off
carbon dioxide gas, which is very
potent in excluding oxygen and in
combination with sawdust forms an
extremely efficient fire extinguish-
er.-Baltimore American.

The sextant, an instrument which
has been so necessary to polar explora-

as far back as 995. The Arabian In

which is small enough to be conven-

In 1870 by Thomas Godfrey Of Ph1la-
