Delicate Monsters

Although it may look very strong, bat
tle-ship is really very delicate monster.
Its vital parts have to be protected by several
coverings of material chiefly obtained from
cocoanuts. This is to prevent certain por-
tons becoming either too cold or too hot.
For instance, it will be seen that the results
would be exciting if the powder magazines
became overheated.
A dreadnaught is entirely clothed in a
suit of underwear to protect it from fire and
water. The actual construction of the ma
terial is the secret, but it is known to be for
the most part cellulose, which is obtained
from the hbrous rind of the cocoanut.
Cellulose swells when it touches salt
water. Therefore if hole should be made
in the ships side, say, by shot, this cellu-
lose expands and covers the opening, SO pre-
venting an thrush or water. The cellulose
is also treated to make it freproof.
Mineral wool is material used upon the
latest type of battleship. 1t looks like wool,
but is really composed of snowy threads of
a sort of glass. The men who pack mineral
wool have to wear masks to prevent the
needle-like PARTICLES from being inhaled.
1t is remarkable mono onductor of heat
and is used to cover the refrigerators and
cold storage chambers and also the explosive
stores.
The boilers and steam pipes of dread
naught have ''iackets" in order to prevent
waste of fuel. Sometimes these jackets are
times ordinary blanketing.

whats in a Narne?"

What is the most beautiful word in the
English language? A college professor, who
has been teaching for number of years,
has collected some interesting facts concern
ing the preferences that schoolgirls and
schoolboys entertain for certain words. He
has made the experiment with some twenty
classes, all the way from an ungraded class
in country school to the senior class in
college.
At the conclusion of recitation, the
teacher has had little slips of blank paper
distributed. He has then. requested each
pupil to write down-without consulting his
eighbor-what he thought the most beauti-
full word in the English language, giving
consideration both to sound and to sense.
Of the 800 pupils that he has questioned,
four hundred and five wrote the name,
"Mother;" eighty-two wrote, "Home;"
twenty two, "Father;' eighteen, ''Daddy;'
sixteen, "Vacation;" eleven, "Baseball;"
nine, "Football;' seven, 'ILove;'' three,
"Sister;' two, "Auntie;'' and two,
"Grandmother. The following words re-
ceived one vote each: ''Grandpa,' eyes
per" "Moonlight," "Hope," "Rose,"
"Hyacinth,'' CANCEL" Music and
"Swimmin' Hole
Of the remaining fourteen, one, aresponse
from very bright boy puzzled the professor.
That boy wrote, "Cellar door, When
asked about it, he pronounced it "Cellah
doah." and explained, ooh it just sounds
pretty
The other thirteen ballots, all for the
same word, amused and perplexed the pro-
fessor. They were all handed in at the same
time from class of twenty-nine healthy,
growing, Woodworking country boys. There
was, the teacher insists, no opportunity for
collision. The ballot was taken silently.
Each ballot was then folded and dropped
into hat that the teacher asked one of the
boys to pass round.
Those thirteen citizens to be deliberately
wrote down the ugly-sounding, greasy-look-
ing, unatractitve word, "Victuals.' What
could have been more suggestive of that
teacher opportunity than the fact that neat
ly half of class of twenty-nine immortal
souls thou ght ''Victuals" the most beauti-
full word in the English language?
And what higher compliment could be
paid to motherhood and the American home
than the fact that five hundred and twenty
seven of these SIX hundred boys and girls,
young men and young women, independent
ly, and at various times and places selected
words that suggested family relationship as
the sweetest words in their language?-Ex.

Learn From Little Things

President Hadley of Yale once said:
"You can learn something from anybody"
Ideas do not always arrive in a limousine;
they may come in broken down hivver.
But you had better be at the door or win
dow for them, just the same, lest they call
and hobnob with your estranged neighbor
instead. You may buy all the men you
want, any time you like. The colleges
throw thousands of them on the world each
June. But you may offer prizes and adver-
'tise in vain for an idea. Most of us, as
Bagehot points out, are naturally hostile to
new thoughts. We like to fatter ourselves,
in the amazing conceit of Solomon, by
thinking there is nothing new under the
sun, nothing we have not tried. Solomon S
head was turned by crowd of wives who
told him he knew everything; and every day
populations of citizens appeared to reinforce
the flattery for the sake of getting some
thing out of him. If we never listen we
shall learn nothing till after we are dead and
our clacking tongues are stilled and the
heavenly tuition at last has its deferred op-
portunity. What is life for if it is not to
teach us a few things? What is true of the
life of a person is true of the life of any
business. An idea is the fuel of the inner
fire. And it is worth price, as enabling
motion where otherwise there would solely
be stagnatiop, rust and rot.-Ex.

They All Look
Alike to N. s. P.'S
Oak Park Decisively Defeat
ed In Holiday Contest
By Boobies

The MS. P.'s having acquired the win
ming habit, are now imbued with the idea
that only the classiest aggregations should
be permitted to engage their attentions.
If they intend to treat them as they have
all other opponents of late, why, we say SO
too. Tuesdays game was credit to the
home team, but was only interesting in
spots because too one sided. How any or
binary pitcher can amass fourteen strike
outs on the home team is beyond me; yet
this was accomplished by Stahl. 1t is a
queer thing, but when any player fans out
he is generally quick to say the pitcher
hasn't got thing; but if he makes hit or
two the pitcher is second Mathewson OF
Walsh. Can you beat it?
Quite number of visitors were present
and stayed thru the game and band con-
cert. The home hitsmiths became busy
early in the game and sewed it up in the
first two frames. The visitors helped things
along by making a cluster of errors that
were expensive. Those of the home team
were neither frequent nor costly. Wag
and Lew led in the hitting. Brad drew
three bases on balls-whch is why he is
the logical lead-off man-and scored twice.
Viii put up a very nice game at first, but
this is customary with him.

-Frankness puts the parties on a con-
venient footing.
You have to do your own assimilation

Better go to bed without supper than

1t is never too late to realize that it is

The more you talk about your troubles

Ledres From Our Poets
Die-VerSe-I-Tea

Die-Verse-I-Tea
BY "Jawn Brownleaf Grittier''
We yearned to be poet,
We hungered for a name;
We sought for earthly glory
And never-dying fame.
We bought five thousand tablets,
Six hundred barrels of ink;
We sought quiet corner
And sat us down to think.
We thought of frozen north-lands,
Of sunny southern chimes;
We juggled up our thinker,
Strove hard to make our rhymes.
We cared not for the metre,
And grammar we ignored;
Our syntax and our sequence
Were in cold storage stored.
Why bother with such trihes
When building up verse?
Just use poetic license,
Propriety's curse!
Just gather in some wordlets
And spread them on page;
Display our virile genius,
And ''let the heather rage
For us to write was easy,
Two dozen "pomes' a week
Was but trihing effort,
We were brainy freak.
We asked no compensation,
We labored without stint;
And felt most amply paid, sir,
To see our name in print.
And now our faithful reader,
If you're not of the "guild''
You II not know how much effort
1t took this "pome'' to build.
So that we'll get full credit,
Well tell you Mr.. Man
No other poem like it
Was ever built by man.
