SAMPLE Of Welsh Humor.

In Welsh Humor is this story: "Sir
Foulk Fitzwarren was recounting to
his knights his exploits against the
Saracen These being calmly received
Sir Foulk said But right here, the
other day, jumped from the ground
to the top of my castle The knights
being skeptical, Sir Foulk invited
them to come the next day and see
him perform the feat. When they
assembled, he jumped up one step OF
the stairway, and continued jumping,
step by step, till he was on the top of
the tallest tower! But we could do
that too chorused the knights. Not

HOW Carbon Evaporates.


II Is well known that the carbon film
Of an incandescent lamp gives off its
substance slowly and deposits 1t on
the interior of the bulb, so that before
the life" of the lamp is over, during
its six hundred to eight hundred hours
Of burning, the light is often dimmed
by this brown smoky deposit Berthe
lot, the French chemist, who has stud
led this phenomenon, says that it is
real vaporization Of the carbon with
a recondensation of the vapor on the
glass bulb. The deposit is amorphous,
like lampblack and has no trace OF
graphite This is owing to the com
paratively low temperature of the
film. In an arc light the higher heat
changes the carbon to the graphite
form. Berthelot states that carbon has
an appreciable vapor tension at tenn
perature not above reddish-white
which may be estimated at 1900 de
grees centigrade to 1900 degrees cent?
grade. This tension is so feeble that
several hundred hours are necessary
to produce few milligrams Of con-
densed carbon, even in the almost alb
solute vacuum of an electric bulb.

For Cracked Walls.

When a plaster wall or ceiling is so
badly cracked that it will not do to
paint or even paper the surface. cover
it with strong muslin or light canvas.
Use a strong paste made of flour in
the ordinary way with a little glue
added to give it stronger holding quail
tiles. Press out any air bubbles that
may occur and make the surface quite
smooth. Either water or oil colors,
as well as paper. may be applied to
this surface, and it will make a very
smooth and sure job.

cut flet. 1t is the duty and it is to
the interest of the great coast cities
and states TO see that justice and
equity are done to the farmers and
miners and stockraisers of the west
and it is equally incumbent upon the
west to see that the coast is secured
against alien rayages. Both regions
need to think nationally.
States have been known now and
then to hold lightly the treaty obi
cations Of the United States, when
they have imagined them to run coun-
ter tc their local interests. They have
made local laws denying to aliens the
right and privileges guaranteed to
them by treaties which the national
government has made, and for the
faithful observance of which the ma
tional government is responsible.
They shave condoned the violent acts
Of mobs against aliens who were en-
titled to the protection of the federal
government under treaty stipulations.
The national government has had to
make the best of it; sometimes to
pay large sums as indemnity for the
lawless acts of citizens of states for
which the states themselves would
give no satisfaction, and would pay
no indemnity Yet if such lawless
acts should at any time provoke war
and foreign enemy should attack the
coasts of those offending states, there
would be a quick and agonized call for
the national government to come to
the states relief and to protect them
from the harm which they themselves
Lad invited. Such states need to
think nationally"

THINKING NATIONALLY.

In the course of lecture in Chick
asha a year or so ago, DR.. Winship
The famous Boston editor and educa
tor, called attention to the necessity
for thinking in larger units" He de
clared that the country needs states
men who are capable of that kind d
thinking and expressed the opinion
that it has such a man in President
Wilson. In line with the thought OF
DR.. Winship is an article recently
printed by the North American Re-
view which urges upon rs at this par
ticular time that we learn to think ma.
tionally. In part the article is as fol-
lows:
More than a century and a quarter
has passed since the adoption of the
Constitution made Us a nation. More
than half a century has passed since
the ending of the last and greatest
menace to the perpetuity of that ma
ton. Yet too often there is need of
the exhortation that we shall think
nationality not as New Workers or as
Californians, not as New Englanders
or as Westerners or as southerns, but
as Americans: and that we shall con-
slider and shall promote those govern
mental policies which are best calcu
lated to serve the welfare not mere,
ly of our own congressional district or
state or section of country in which
secticnalism should long ago have
heen dead, but OF the entire Conti-
mental republic.

should one ever land upon these
shores, would penetrate so far as to
reach its borders. 1t feels secure,
and sympathizes little with what is
regards as the semihysterical fears of
the coast.
Now, we can not believe that such
statements prevails as widely as some
have said. We sincerely hope that they
do not prevail at all. We are certain
that some Of the most clear-headed
and broad-minded of our statesmen
are to be found in that very region.
But because it is said so often that
such ideas do exist there, it is worth
while to point out that the heart osg
the continent is just as much interest

the coast itself The prosperity OF the
west depends upon that of the east.i

The Lad Out There

O, power of Love, if still you learn,
Above a world so black with hate,
Where yet-as it has ever been
The loving heart is desolate.
Look down upon the lad l love
(My brave lad, tramping through the
mire),
I cannot light his welcome fire,
LIGHT thou the stars for him above!
Now nights are dark and mornings
di m
Let him in his long watching know
That I, too, count the minutes slow,
And light the lamp of love for him.
The sight of death, the sleep forlorn,
The old honest ,kness vast and dumb,
Amid these things so bravely borne,
Let my long thoughts above him
come.
l see him in the weary file;
So young he is, so dear to me,
With e~ver-ready sympathy
And wistful eyes and cheerful smile,
However far he travels on
Thought follows, like the willow wren
That flies the stormy eas again
To lands where her delight is gone.
Whatever he may be or do
While absent far beyond my call,
Bring him, the long days march be-
ing through,
Safe home to me some evenfall!
