EARTH is NOT ovERcRoWDED.
Entire Population Could Stand on
Frozen Lake Champlain.

There are on this globe about l 1-2
billion inhabitants. Most Of us, who
lack the sense of proportion. at the men,
ton of this big number are apt to speak
of the "overpopulation' of the world.
Yet if we spare few moments thought

There is in my study room geogra-
phic globe about Is inches In diameter.
On that sphere there is marked little
spot about the size of the point of a
pencil--at any rate SO small as to make
it impossible to write the initials of it's
name. Lake Champaign, upon it. Yet
whenever Lake Champlain freezes over
there is good standing room for every
one of all the inhabitants of the earth.
and then this lake would be considera-
bly, less crowded than some of the busy
streets of New York.
Indeed, strange as 1t may sound, ev-
cry one. young and old. would find about

If the very young and the very old
would please to stand aside on the

YOU REALLY SKATE ON WATER.
Weight Of Your Body MeIts Ice and
Lubricates Its Surface.

DR.. Jolly, in a lecture before the Roy
al Dublin Society, pointed out that pol
ished glass is much smoother than
roughened ice; yet we can skate on the
ice, whereas on the glass it would be
impossible. He proved by interesting
experiments that we must seek further
for an explanation.
His solution, arrived at only after the
most careful investigation. Is that we
owe the ability to skate to the fact that
ice melts under pressure.
The part of the skate that bears on
the ice presents very narrow surface.
and on this surface comes the whole
weight of the body. That pressure
causes the ice to melt instantaneously,
and the thin film of water between the
blade of the skate and the ice serves
the same purpose as the film of oil that
we run between the working parts Of
greatly reduces the fric-
ton. Immediately after the skater
passes on the water film solidifies again
into ice. ready for the next skater who
comes along. Hence DIR. Jolly concludes
that we really skate not on Ice. but on
water!
Nature gives us in this way lubri-
cation far and away ahead Of anything
man has been able to make.-Youth's
Companion.

WHY THE ADS ARE :.
IMPORTANT TOWOMEN

Women who have "Iearned things"
about buying about relative values
Of commodities-make a PROPER
APPRAISAL Of the interest and
value Of store advertisement.
A woman doss not rsad an advsr.

SAVE time, and to save money.
A woman who has learned to read
the ads FOR PROFIT 10 not likely
to outsrow the habit.
Fully half Of woman's know
ledge Of fashions is gained through
her reading Of tho ads.
A woman's knowledge Of VAL
UES must be kept UP TO DATE
and SO she reads the ads a. regu.
larry as she reads the NEWS.
Among a thousand women who
are accustomed to reading adver-
tisements you might find ONE
whose interest occasionally Iass.
The woman who reads tho ads is
no more likely to overlook q good
buying opportunity than would a
man be to overlook the result Of an
election-or the issue Of q great
battle.
Mere "taik" about bargain oppor-
tunities in the ads Of store does
not impress a woman. The talk
must be definite, giving details on
which she may base conclusions.
To fail to fully "make good" on
every advertised offering would
mean DESTRUCTIVE advertising
for a merchant.
Women read the store ads for
facts-facts Of the IMMEDIATELY

Story Of a Familiar Hymn.

The familiar hymn beginning God
moves in a mysterious way" known as
"Cowper's Hymn" had it's origin as fol-
lows: Cowper was all his life the vic
tim of melancholia, and more than once
attempted suicide One day, bent upon
destroying himself. he got into a cab
and ordered the driver to take him to a
certain point on the river, where he in
tended to drown himself. The cabman,
noticing his strange appearance and
feeling that all might not be right with
him, drove him about the city and final
ly stopped in front If the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old ia
miliar surroundings and shocked at the
thought of his narrow escape. Cowper
exclaimed, God moves in mysterious
way His wonders to perform" and,
rushing in. Immediately composed the
immortal hymn.-Pittsburg Post.
