Chains Essential For

Few automobile men will deny that

one OF the most prolific causes of disas-
ter, and when this danger is offset. as
IT can be through the use of tire
chains, there is no excuse for neglect
in this direction on the part of chauff-
eur or owner. Too great reliance has
been placed upon the objection of in
experienced motorists that chains ID
damage to tires: they do when the
chains are not properly placed, but
otherwise there is no possible obiec-
tion to their being employed upon all
occasions when the going is slippery
and uncertain.
When a chain is too tight the links
naturally imbed themselves in the
shoe and eventually do harm. but
when the chain is attached loosely so
that as the wheel turns the chain

MaeterIinck's Failures.

M. Maurice Maeterlinck began his
literary career with three apparent
failures. The first was the founding
of a literary review, which quickly
went under; the second the publica-
ton of a volume of poems, which
failed to attract attention, and the
third the issue of play, La Princess
Maleine," of which he printed just 25
copies with his own hands and gave
them away. A year later, says the
London Chronicle, chance brought a
copy of the play into the hands of M.
Octave Mirbeau, who wrote a glow
ing eulogy of it in the Figaro, and
Maeterlinck awoke one morning to
find himself famous.

LUMINOSITY IN NATURE
MANY INSECTS AND PLANTS
HAVE LIGHT-GIVlNG POWER.
Lightning Most Popular Among Pyro-
technic nsects-Australian Pop
by Is the Most Remarkable
of Luminous Plants.

: The lightning bugs mystery or
light without heat is now alleged 10
be solved. A member of that earnest
headed colony of scientists at Woods
Hole. Mass, has recently declared that
the bug does its interior and exterior
illumination by eating certain SUD-
stances which supply it with phos-
phorus.
1t is to be hoped that this is true
so we may quit worrying about why
the lightning bug is lit up.
Although the lightning bug is our
most popular and common pyrotech-
mic insect, there are many other IN
sects and many forms of vegetable
life which share in light-giving power
of high and low degree. Under GER
tain conditions nasturtiums, dahl1as,
tuberoses and yellow lilies may De
seen to glow with bright radiance,
varying in color and intensity. only
those flowers that have an abundance
of yellow or orange shades exhibit
this phosphorescence. The best time to
see the light is after dark, when the
atmosphere is clear and dry. The
light is sometimes steady, but often
intermittent and flashing.
Often, in the early fall, the ground
will be Illuminated by the glow from
the dead leaves. The Australian pop
py is the most remarkable of all the
luminous plants, for it has been found
to send out light of it's own of quite
notable brilliancy.
Mushrooms growing on deoayed
wood often have a degree of brilliancy
that, when they are placed on a news
paper, will enable one to read the
words in their vicinity with no other
light One species Of mushroom in
Australia, 16 inches in diameter, was
of such brilliancy that, when seen
from a distance, it's light frightened
the natives
Crabs are notable light givers, and
the salpa of California is the most
wonderful of all. Bodies of water 20
miles square have been seen glowing
with them, and in Santa Catalina
channel one naturalist reported that
as far as the eye could see the crea-
lures lay cleaning like gems in the
sunlight. Many luminous frogs have
been discovered from time to time,
and any frog may be made luminous
by inoculating it with certain bac-
terra which produce this phenomenon.
Many theories have been brought
forward to explain the phenomenon
of luminosity, but as yet little is
known about it.

Bow Is Shock Absorber.

Howard Davis, a fourteen-year-old
Upland (Pa.) boy, performed remark
able tumbling act while picking cher
ries in high tree. That his neck was
not broken was probably due to the
fact that in his fight from the upper
branches he struck and knocked from
a ladder Charles Esslinger, another
lad, who really suffered most from an
injury to his back.
After striking young Esslinger Da-
Wis turned a somersault in the air and
fell at full length on the ground. The
shock stunned him temporarily, but
he soon regained his feet, while his
companion required assistance to get

Nine widows out of ten, especially
If they be advanced in years, carry
out the trust faithfully. The tenth
widow is an example of the foolhardi-
ness of failing to safeguard her as we'll
as her children.
Prospective heiresses are golden
bats for fortune hunters, but the man
who is intent upon marrying money
knows that her wealth may be with
held by her family, if it is so intrusted,
for long years to come, and he would
have to work for and support woman
whom he was not ardently in love with
for her own sake-during the best
Jears of his life with expectations of
wealth which might never materialize.
The man who contemplates paying
court to rich widow faces none of
these contingencies of losing.
Indulgent number one has not taken
the precaution to put strings to it.
If she is a woman possessing more
heart than head, easily fiattered and
Of the kind who respond to ardent
and persistent lovemaking, he figures
1t out that in all probability he would,
as her husband, be so enabled to estab-
fish himself firmly in her affections
that he could give her children Sc

portion Of the money in absolute con-
troll of their mother. Everyone ex-
poets that young widow will be
tempted to wed again, If another man
seemingly as good and true as the
loved and lost one comes a-wooing.
Few people suspect the widow of fifty
or Whereabouts to be still susceptible
to the enthralling dreams of loving
again and being loved, yet it is an I'M
deniable fact that this is the crucial
turning point in a widows existence.
She is usually too proud to admit
that she is lonely and longs for COM
partnership, but this is the case Her
sons may leave her, after the manner
of sons. She is dear to them, but the
betrothed sweetheart with whom they
spend all of their disengaged hours,
1t must be admitted, is dearer still,
though in quite a different way.
Her daughter changes in heart in
terest with marriage. At first, the
young bride divides her affections fair
ly equally between her husband and
mother, but with the coming of babies
mother is generally apt to take third
or fourth back seat. No wonder such
widows feel keenly the want of COM
partnership and loss of heart interest
in their children which they secretly
bitterly resent.
At this juncture, the fortune hunter
considers the occasion is ripe for him
to Undue the widow with the belief
she is dear and first in the heart of
someone. If he succeeds in inducing
her to marry him she finds her trouble
soon after begins He nags her for
money-more money and yet still more
from morning until night. She has
to buy her peace, if she gets any, with
heaps Of gold. The only way to cir
cumvent the fortune hunter is for
such widows to tell him candidly that,
ere she weds again, she will sign her
ehildren's money over to them.

twenty-five feet away in a low side chamber is to
be seen the place where the modeler scraped to-
gether the clay off the floor and kneaded it. Two
three worked rolls of his material still lie

locality probably for thousands of years.

true that very few stone basins have been

WHY PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE.

ALL earth below, all heaven above,
In this calm hour are filed with love;
All sights, all sounds, have throbbing
hearts,
In which it's blessed fountain starts
1t matters not whether the woman
is single or married, her one greatest
happiness is when she falls in love.
Every woman loves to find one ideal
who will bring her hope, joy and fu-
ture happiness. 1t is the one raptur-
Gus study of her life, her looking-for-
ward time, and courage never fails in
this particular object.
AS for a man-just as soon as he
can possibly see his way clear to wed
and settle down, his quest and noble
ambition is to find the one woman
who is suitable and responsive to his
heart with whom he can fall in love.

ston Before You Are Too Tired

In the Woman's Home Companion
Margaretta futile writes fiction story
entitled "The Runaway Rest Cure"
in which a physician gives a patient
the following good advice:
1T is not the brain, nor the charac-
ter that suffers first from overwork,
but the body; and it is not until after
the body has rendered up its excess
vitality-its youthfulness-that the
nerves begin to pay toll. You are not
yet at that place; you are simply phys
ically tired. But this tire is danger
GUS, because it is the warning that the
limit of your physical support is nearly
reached. We are coming to learn the
value of fatigue as a warning. Those
who do the best work stop just before
they are tired"

Pity that those who love so truly, be-

stoop to petty quarreling over trifes
