Just Three Thinns.

In the American Magazine a Chicago
business man tells how he regained his
health after a ervou breakdown
when he was forty-eight. He says:
Just three things are absolute neces-
stiles for the smooth running and lon
gevity of these human machines of
ours. They are pure air, pure water
and plain food. Food alone has a price.
Both air and water are Gods free
gifts. And yet not one person In ten
thousand breathes enough pure air, not
one In a thousand drinks enough pure
water, and nearly all of us eat too
much"

GEOMETRY ON THE BROILER.

Euclid is a gentleman from whom

cation as a matter of tradition. Gust
why should John and Sally study plane
geometry, and indeed how does it come
about that they are studying it?" That

Is useful Well, how useful and in
what ways? Professor David E. Smith,
professor of the teaching of mathe-
mates in Teachers college, tells us,
Not more than % per cent of the

genuine applications outside of geom-
etry." And a distinguished physicist
has assured me that the 70 per cent of
propositions that are of no use are not
even needed to prove the % per cent
that are of some use. The teachers Of

from geometry. Is 1t the sort of men,

Geometry as taught is a deductive
science. That is, from certain assump-
lions called axioms and postulates a
long series of propositions is developed.
If the study of geometry really devel-

would it help but lawyers? For prac-

of thinking.
In actual life people observe, or they
should observe, and on this basis make
a limited inference which leads to ac-

trial on error.

Evelyn and the simpIon Pass.

The Simplon pass was a famous high
way Of travel long before Napoleon con-
structed the highroad. Milton came
home that way from his grand tour,
and so did John Evelyn. The latter
traveller vent in fear of his life, not
only expecting avalanches to fall on
him, but being apprehensive lest bears
and wolves should assail him. The
only actual harm which happened,
however, was that his companions
dog killed a goat belonging to one
of the peasants and that heavy COM
pensation had to be paid-"a pistole,"
says the diary, "for the goat and ten
more for attempting to ride away"

But none OF the resorts in Cape May
county have enjoyed anything like the
prosperity that will follow upon the
identification OF the Pennsylvania rail-
road from Ocean City to Stone Harbor
and it's extension to Wildwood and
Cape May and the inauguration of
electric connection with Philadelphia
now enjoyed exclusively by Ocean City.
To Ocean City this project assures
the long-talked-of "Msys Landing cut
of" reducing the running time by the
electric line by perhaps fifteen minutes
or more, the benefit of which Ocean
City people well know.
There seems no reasonable ground for
opposition to the proper solution OF this
problem. Certainly there is every In
ducement to work it put successfully.

COLD WEATHER IS.
BOON TO ICE men
Past Season was Worst Known
and Several Tons of Ice Must
be Thrown Away

Morris ice dealers still have sew
eral hundred cakes of river ice on
their hands With the season closed.
The low temperatures of the past
week has made them happy and the
matter of several tons of ice to throw
away does not bother them.
The past season was one of the
worst known in Morris, say the ice
dealers. Almost continuous cool and
wet weather during the summer cut
down the demand for the frozen pro-
duct. Last winter an unusually
large amount of ice was stored to pre-
vent a possible shortage during the
heated season or a repetition of condi
tions in the fall of 1914 when there

About thirty persons from

Judge Flaherty at the court house last

proposed judicial bitches affecting

was opposition in all four cases and
remonstrances were filed.

siderable drainage work the coming

were fears that there would be- a
shortage. The ice stored last winter
will be dumped, the ice houses
cleaned and everything will be made
ready within the next ten days for the
beginning of the ice harvest this
year.
We do not intend to carry over
any Of our last years ice," said a To-
cal dealer yesterday. "some of the
ice is in good condition and would
keep nicely but we are going to Sc
cure better quality for the coming
year and so we will dump about ten
tons pretty soon. We did not make
any money the past year because of
the cold summer and l see some of
the weather prophets are forecasting
another summerless year. Under
these conditions it is rather tough to
be the ice man.
Pomme de Terre river will be the
chief source of ice supplies this year.
Already the ice has reached a thick
ness of fifteen inches and with several
more weeks of frigid weather the ice
men will begin the harvest. Last
year the harvest was rather late.

PEACE IS FAR OFF
SAY war LEADERS

BERLIN, Jan. 3-All the German
officers say they see absolutely no
reason to hope for an early peace, as
the enemy shows no sign of readiness
to give in and it would be fatal to Ger
many to make concessions at time
when she stands victorious on all
fronts.
Let us be quite frank" one of them
said. 1--WE all want peace, but we
know it is quite out of the question
and when we endeavor to make our
nen believe otherwise, it is simply in
order to stimulate them, for they are
cutie worn out
Another officer said that it was the
general opinion among officers that
Germany would make final effort to
break through the hostile lines in the
West before the end of this month.
This officer put the entire blame for
Germany inability to achieve a def
mite success in the West on America,
Rs without the supplies of munitions
which they had received from the
United States, the Franco British fore
es would have been beaten long ago.

but this was officially denied by the
British admiralty, whose statement
was accepted by the United States as
basis Tor the contention that the
Lusitania was an unarmed, defense
less ship.
Many of the life boats of the Pennin-
sular liner Persia were destroyed by
the explosion that followed the i'm
pact of the torpedo. The passengers
were at lunch when the attack was
made. Even the lookout on the ship
did not see the submarine which re-
manned hidden beneath the surface.
Responsibility for the destruction of
the liner Persia with the loss OF near
ly 800 lives, including one American,
was placed upon Austria today in dis
patches from Cairo. These brought
the first definite information that the
submarine which sank the Persia in
the Mediterranean last Thursday was
an Austrian vessel.
Six boats were launched and the oc-
cupants of four of them stated various
ly to number 1853 or 1853, reached port
safely. Two of the boats have not
been found and there is little hope
that further survivors will be picked
up.
Robert N. McNeely, the American
who was proceeding to his port as
United States consul at Alden, was
given up for lost today when a dis.
pasch from Alexandria said that he
was still on board the Persia after the
sixth boat was launched. A place had
been found for him in the fifth boat

to take it, woman with two little
children replacing him in the boat.

amounted to $1Os7.42.
The effectiveness of the fire proven
ton crusade undertaken by Inspector
Hodgin and Fire Chief Miller is aptly
illustrated in the reports of those two
officials. Hodgin's report shows that
the fire loss to buildings alone amount
ed to only $4,S70. The fire chiefs re-
port shows that the total fire loss to
buildings and their contents was only
$500.
In 1914 Richmond established a rec
ord of low fire losses for cities of its
size. So, 155 for buildings alone, but dur
ing the past year. it is shown that loss
was cut practically in two. During
