Foo Statistics.

The Lighthouse Service Bulletin
publishes a compilation of the number
of hours Of fog or thick weather OBJ
served a year at sos fog signal sta
tons during the period of 1885 to
1915. AS such stations are maintained
In all coastal regions of the country,
including the Great Lakes, which are
subject to fog, their records are a
valuable indication Of the extent of
this danger to navigation. The high
est annual average is 1851 hours a
year at Petit Manan, Me-, while the
highest record for an individual year
and place Is 2,734 hours in 1907 at
Seguin, Me-, or about 80 per cent OF
the entire year. Calumet Harbor.
near Chicago, had 2,269 hours OF fog
in 1913. This and other lake stations
are affected somewhat by smoke. On
the Pacific coast the highest annual
average is 1887 hours, at Point Reyes,
but In the year 1915 there were 2,145
hours of fog at San Francisco light.

ON THE RACE COURSE
In Years Gone BY Many Have Shown
Skill In Plotting Their Horses
to Victory.

The lady who recently shocked the
national hunt committee of England
by applying for Jockeys license can
quote precedents in support of her
application. In recent years several
races have been gained in America
by female Jockeys. One of these,
Miss Mary Mooney, crossed the At
lantic in 1908 and vainly tried to get
a license from the French Jockey
club.
Then there is the case OF Mrs.
Thornton, who. in the early years OF
the nineteenth century, used to ride
her husbands racehorses. She made
her debut as a Jockey by riding a
match at York for $1,000 over a four
mile course.
On this occasion she lost, but sub
soquent ventures proved more sue.

by q match over five miles, which
she won by half neck. Mrs. Thorn
toms racing costume was somewhat
startling-purple cap and tunic, long
nankeen skirts, purple shoes and en-
broidered stockings.

HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must Be Trained to Follow
CaIted-For Motions Along a
Certain Path.

Those who think habit Is just
something you remember-that is. is
purely mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit is a question of mechan-
les as much as the smooth drawing
of piston rod.
Habit is the action of nerve mo-
tons along beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
a nerve moves because 1t cannot help
it, and 80 on until the process Is
complete, and the thing we call habit
is done.
There are as many Of these, paths
in the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which ore
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path of the action is
travelled over.
The first time the action Is per-
formed the nerve centers do not awak-
en- their successors readily. For
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs a
great many nerve centers is hard to
learn, because the path must be worn,
the nerve centers trained to act In
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit is formed. The second call upon
them Is easier than the first, the third
easier than the second. etc.

70 RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Massachusetts, Legislature Considers
Measures Encouraging "Back-to-
the-Land" Movement. 4

Two unusual measures have been
under consideration by the Legislature
of Massachusetts. Ono provides for
an appropriation for homesteads or
small houses with plots of ground for
mechanics, laborers and other persons
In the suburbs OF cities and towns. The
other bill authorizes any city to ac-
quire land for the purpose of teaching
agriculture to It's inhabitants, includ-
ing schoolchildren, adults and family
groups.
The bills are really complementary.
Their purpose is to encourage the
"back-to-theland" movement and to re-
lieve congested districts. They are
sponsored by the Massachusetts home
stead commission, which believes that
there is q strong disposition among
persons in congested city disKricts to
escape from these to pleasanter and
more healthful surroundings. Tho
commission, In fact, made canvass OF
500 typical tenement families. It dis
covered that no fewer than 1913 fami-
lies, with 896 children. were anxious
to move to suburban surroundings
where they could have a garden and
till the soil. The chief difficulties In
their way, of course. are lack of capt.
tai and lack Of knowledge of garden
ing or farming. These lacks the two
bills in the legislature would seek to
supply.
In support Of the measures 1t is re-
marked that success has attained SINH.

tres. In Australian states and some
South American countries.

one.

it was loaded, and went down to the

SHOW COP. VICTORY
Signs Prove Country Is Turning to
Republicans.
Recent Special Election In the Second
Congressional District Of West vlr-
ginia Is Only One Of Many
Significant Incidents.

That was an interesting straw
which West Virginia tossed up into
the political breeze when a vacancy
In the Second congressional district
was filled at the regular November
election, the Democratic candidate was
chosen by plurality of 1850. At that
time the total Progressive vote was
LIS. II the Progressives had all
voted for the Republican candidate he
would have been elected by only 365
margin.
Now the district has elected Re-
publican by about 500 plurality. The
Republican margin is much larger
than 1t would have been IL all of the
Progressives who stuck to their own
organization two years ago had voted
the Republican ticket and all other
conditions bad remained unchanged.
AS the total vote was smaller than 1t
Is In general election, and as not
every Progressive voted the Repub-
lican ticket, 1t is quite evident that
other conditions did not remain the
same that they were In 1914. There
have been Democratic losses and Re-
publican gains.
In that respect West Virginia is
like other states It has long been
apparent that the current was set
ting strongly throughout the country
toward the Republican party and this
special election in West Virginia Is
the latest demonstration of the gen
eral drift of public sentiment.
