This agent OF the city, after appro-

orous shaking and flung him toward
the sidewalk.
Immediately all five boys vanished
into the earth.
The white wing looked down the
street and the wagon had disappeared
as completely as the boys, with the
driver quite unconscious of any I'M

He looked in every direction, then
doubtless thanking the gods for their
gift, he wrapped the ham in a news

its balance. The tremendous masses
beneath the water steadily rose as the

boat. What shall we do now?" in
quired a tourist. Get down on your
knees, was the terse reply OF the
captain. But the great wave from the
tumbling ice swept down on the boat
and washed it to safety
The collapse of an iceberg spreads
danger to great distances. 1t may be
too far distant to threaten a craft
itself, but the wave II raises will
swamp the largest boat in the imme-

HARKING BACK TO NATURE
Few There Are Without Strong Feel
ing Of kinship With the Things
of the Wiz

A bond from which we are never
free unites us to mother earth. The
appeal of the refnements of civiliza-
ton is strong; they are needed and
they have become an integral part of
our life, but somewhere in our ma
lures is something that always harks
back to nature.
This feeling of close kinship with
wild things. the stream, the birds and
animals, the woods, gives strength to
the soul. We're we to live always on
the artificial heights, we should be-
come enervated. For the earth is our
home; from the actual physical earth
we gain strength Of body and mind.
From considering it, we learn lessons
Of truth and purity and order, and the
foundations of beauty are all found in
the material world. Our love of ma
ture, our longing sometimes to get out
into the wilds comes, though we may
never realize II, from our need of
these things
With all our reffnements, we shall
never do so well without the knowl-
edge OF the kindly earth as with It,
Even in winter there Is much to learn,
much to enjoy, and we lose much
when we think we can do without our
close communion with the mother of
US all.

AMERICAS PRESENT SENTIMENT.

Three great sentiments, let us re-
peat, swept across the United States
in June. First, we prize our blessings
Of peace and we viii not fool about the
fringes OF Europe's War, nor will we
be drawn by any untoward incidentlor
process Of logic into a European mid
continental contest for supremacy that
is not ours to decide. Second, in an
age like this we cannot afford to jeop-
ardize our supreme right to live at
peace. by being unprepared for self
defense. Third, all the peoples of Eur
ope are akin TO us, our civilization is
derived from theirs in great part, and
we must strive to help them find a
basis for peace. To that end, we as
citizens and as neutrals should do moth
ing that would put us in false posi-
ton or impair our national usefulness
or influence in the great cause Of
world harmony From 'The Progress
of the World, in the American Re-
view Of Reviews for July.

Background for Pictures

plain paper or one with quiet self

makes a successful background for
pictures. The soft neutral tone OF

Gauge for Measuring Social.

The Pittsburgher who resents the
timeworn variations OF the soft coal
smoke gibes now has his chance to
prove that they are uniustifed, or re-
main forever silent. BY a new inVen-
ton it is at present possible to measure
the sootfall of any city as accurately
as its rain or snowfall may be meas
ured. Already this SCOT gauge tried
out in England, has proved what the
tourist long suspected, that London,
with all its yellow fog, has far purer
air than the North OF England factory
cities OF Birmingham, Manchester and
the like. Not only have Pittsburgh and
other slandered American cities the
opportunity to whiten their sooted
regulations, but the manufacturer, too.
may now establish accurately the ex-
act proportion of his contribution to

amount Of sootfall, and is quite capable

to lay an effective grip upon Silesia.
The occupation Of Belgiums by Ger
many is the direct cause of the recent
wild rise in the price o inc, according
to the London Statist, loT, " observes
this paper, normally not only does
Belgium produce largely Of spelter
from native ores, exporting refined
material to Great Britain. but Belgium
refineries also treat considerable guam
titles Of Australian concentrates, the
product of which also reaches the
United Kingdom.
In peace time Germany spelter went
largely into English consumers works,
for galvanizing and brass trade pur-
poses, and the finer grades of material
have for many years held worldwide
reputation. The deficiency, therefore
has to be made good from the only
available source the United States,
which is also called upon to supply Rus
STA. Russia ordinarily draws largely
upon German spelter from Silesia, and
if her troops could occupy this mining
district, a double and most important
economic purpose would be served -
the cutting off from Germany of a vi
tai spot and the acquisition by the con-
queror of material resources inestima-
BILE value at the present time.
eff the Allies want to do something
really useful, the Belgian and Silesian
spelter areas lie before them. These
are vital spots for Germany, and their
seizure would probably lop Off $50 to
$50 ton from the price of spelter and
do more to bring the war to an end
than anything yet attempted. either in
the eastern or western zones. Ger

which can be pulled out of buildings

THE HIGH COST OF VANITY.

A manufacturer of shoes in mo-
ment OF unusual candor, says that the
cloth tops Of women's shoes, seen
everywhere this spring, are made of
material which costs 81 a yard. One
yard is used for eighteen pairs of shoes.
The high cost of leather ia given as
the ready excuse for all finished arti-
cles made of leather 1t is fair to as
sumo, therefore, that the cost Of max
ing shoes is not reduced. Those who
buy them pay, willingly, for material
plus style They desire, aud are will
ing to pay for, the correct thing in
shoes.
Had cloth-top shoes been put upon
the market at cut prices they would
have languished in show windows with
out attracting buyers. The smart
dsessers would not have wanted shoes
partly made of cheap substitute for
leather.
The average man, even the average
women, is ready to take up cudgels

it, but prefers being taxed heavily by
