HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.

Many of us are not so happy as we
ought to be. We would be happier
than we are If our interests were only
wider and more varied. We are not
enthusiastic over a sufficiently large
number of things. If we could only in
crease the circle of things In which our
mind and heart find delight we should
add to our joy and possibly increase
the number of our days. We get old
too so0n. Old age comes on us as soon

us. Nobody gets old who succeeds in

is recorded also that the portrait Of
Don Carlos, the unfortunate son Of
Philip II. of Spain, as well as n of
the popes, besides other subjects, were
engraved on diamonds.
1t was not until the middle of the
fifteenth century that Van Bergen, a
Dutchman, adopted a mode of grind
ing, shaping and then polishing them,
like other jewels, by means of diamond
pounded into powder and mixed with
oil on a metal wheel called a lap, and
1t was two centuries later, in the time
of Cardinal Mazarin, that the best true

about the sum of 50 If labor is not

but it does pay. If you use enamel In
stead of paint it is only necessary to
roughen up the surface of the former
stain.
If you are contemplating the furnish
ing of a living room on a limited
amount Of money you must first direct
your attention toward learning how to
successfully combine several kinds of
furniture, for matched furniture In the
good pieces will easily soar up into the
thousands, and matched furniture In
the cheap pieces will verify discourage
your best endeavor to distract atten-
ton from their sordidness.
In the illustration is some willow fur
niture which would fit admirably into
a white woodworked, dull gray walled
room. Three pieces of this would be
SUFFICIENT to make the nucleus for a
sitting room-a square table and two
chairs. OF course two armchairs add
ed to these would make a very good
beginning indeed, and by sprinkling In
a few pieces OF wooden furniture a
room might be very prettily furnished

You have this to think of as well as
the fact that you want it to be pretty

You must see that the walls are rest

your best attention; that you have not
too much furniture in the room; that
the chairs are comfortable as well as
beautiful; that each piece of furniture

fFrom II. Tnbun. Bureau

Washington, Sept 19.-The first ef-
feet Of the appointment of the Naval
Advisory Board, consisting Of Thomas
A. Edison and twenty-five associates
chosen from among the scientific socie-
ties of the country, has been to call
forth a host Of new inventors who are
anxious to have the merits OF theiI
notions on naval appliances passed
upon. Plans and suggestions are pour
ing in to the Navy Department every
dav. and the individual members OF inc
board are receiving them, also, IN large
Numbers. so that there will be no lack
Of material for discussion when the
body assemblies early next month.
Secretary Daniels expressed himself
to-day as greatly pleased not only WIN
tho personnel OF the board, but with
the hearty approval given TO the Sc
lection by the press Of the country. lie
is particularly gratifed at the unquah-
fed support extended by the eleven So
cieties to which he appealed for as
sistance in choosing his staf OF sci
entists.
"Many Of these societies" said Sec,
Rotary Daniels to-day, "have entered
upon the work in wholehearted way
and hav appointed committees to as
sist their representatives. ! think the
others will undoubtedly follow suit,
and that we shall find our board con-
risting eventually not of twenty three
members only, but TO all intents and
purposes of almost the total member
Shin of the eleven societies
The Secretary explained that his pur-
pose in asking the ordinations to Sc
iect the members, instead OF appointing
them himself, was not only to insure
better select on, but to enlist the CO.
operation of these learned societies.
Under this plan the men chosen are not
only members of the board, but are the
REPRESENTATIVES of the societies with
which they are affiliated.
Secretary Daniels looks TO the new
board to solve some Of the problems
which have troubled naval experts the
world over. Among the devices yet to
be perfected by any navy are the
aerial torpedo, adequate defences
against submarines, dependable aero
plane motors, etc.
The Navy Department has itself been
carving on experiments in all these
fields, but without reaching a result in
any case that is regarded as thor
oughly satisfactory. The aerial tor
pedo is still in an experimental stage,
but experts are agreed that II VIII
ultimately be perfected and will prove
to be a terrible weapon. Launched
from an aeroplane il would have a
deadly effect on the ships of an enemy,
and the attacking force would have the
advantage Of being able to attain great
speed and remain practically invul-
nerable. 1t would thus be superior 10
the submarine for torpedo attack, be-
cause Of the slowness and extreme
fragility Of the undersea craft.
