Just Missed II.

An old gentleman from the coun-
try, tremulous with fear after hearing
bombs and gunfire, in an air raid,
emerged from his hotel with his wife,
relates the London Chronicle. In the
street they inquired of an imperturb-
able police constable IL 1t was "all
over" The policeman, imagining they
were eager sightseers, said, sWell, I'm
afraid, sir, It Is all over; but they may

Murder viii Out.

A French woman with a sense of
humor once told this story:
She was walking up a flight of
stairs in one of those Paris apartment
houses with a mirror at the head of
each landing.
AS she glanced up, painting, she
thought she saw q woman descending.
She said to herself: "Well, if l were
that fat old woman should know bet
ter than to dress in that ridiculous
way"
When she reached the head of the
stairs she confronted herself.

Human Enoine REQUIRES Fuel.

The human body, especially as re-
CARDS nutrition, has justly been COM
pared to an engine. If a steam engine
is to perform certain amount of work
it must be supplied with fuel. and the
quantity of fuel must be in proportion
to the work to be performed, observes
a scientist. In like manner, also, man
to be able to act, requires fuel, which
we call food and, like the engine, the
person who has to perform a greater
amount of work will also require a
greater supply of food. Besides, the
human engine does not stop for a Sec
ond in it's work, for even in the pro-
foundest sleep heart and lungs are un-
nterruptedly active. From this fol-
lows that as long as we live we are
compelled to supply the body with ever
new fuel. He who neglects this duty
will perish; his engine comes to
standstill.

IN progressive methods of manufac-

Telephone Many Years AGO.

There are not so many new things
under the sun. as people suppose. The
telephone has the credit of being an
entire novelty, yet Robert Hooke two
hundred and odd years ago, wrote:
II have by a distended wire propa-
gated sound to very considerable dis
tance in an instant, or with as seem
ingly quick motion as that of light |;
and this not only in straight line,
or direct, but in one bended in many
angles"
Here was the invention of the tele.
phone right in hand, so to speak, only
Hooke did not follow up the lead. So
the world had to wait two centuries for
the admirable instrument which saves
so much of humanity's time today.

In the apparel offered for this sea-

or useful than the blouses of dark

with silk or small beads, and the sep

and the skirt may be worn with blouses

the skirt and blouses. if selected with

us that they belong together.

JUDGE CITIES BY POLICEMEN :
Character of Guardians of Peace
Serves as Criterion for Municipal
titles, Says Writer.

It used to be said that each coun-
by could be known by the Jews who
lved within its borders. In the same
way every city can be judged by the
character of its policemen, writes Hen
dirk Willen van Loon, In Century Mag
azine.
In Christiania the policeman is a
mild and amiable citizen In a rather
shiny coat, and none too neat. who
stands in the middle OF the roadway
and tries to maintain some semblance
of order In the democratic muddle Of
the city's traffic.
In Stockholm the policeman Is a
walking arsenal. with sword and pis-
tol and a brass helmet. and the ar
rest of a disorderly person becomes
an act Of state. There the policeman
represents the high authority Of a
proud country. He fulfills his duty
with a stern severity. He is the sym
boil of law and established order. Let
no one touch these fundaments Of a
well-regulated commonwealth.

seems to have been brought to its high
est perfection. II only the chauffeurs

RULERS WHO GAVE UP CROWN

It was Diocletian who quit dominion
to raise cabbages at Salona. and who
refused to die lord of the world, re-
lates a historian. He was happier

friends. Charles v. Roman emperor
and king Of Spain. likewise laid down
his scepter and turned gardener be-
fore he died. Philip v Of Spain alb

sumed the crown. Amurath. sultan
Of the Ottoman Turks. was luckier. He
abdIcated In favor of his son. but re
sumed the throne In q moment Of na-
tional peril. Then he abdicated again.
A second time a national crisis called
him from retirement. but he had tasted
the pleasures OF private life. and he
hastened to return 20 them.
He was a great king. the greatest
ruler OF his generation. and the most
capable commander. His arms were
on two continents. his terri
tories inviolate. but he preferred the
quiet Of his palace of Adrianople, the
Of poets and phiioso-
'phers. and the theological arguments
Iof the wise men Of Islam to the coun-
sells Of his statesmen. He died peace
fully In his bed. praising the peace he
had come to know, and his son, the
second Mohammed Of the Ottoman
,Iine. won more lasting reputation by
the destruction Of the Byzantine en-
pire.

Dido with being the foundress OF

Snow and Ice Worms.

There are at present known in the

varieties Of snow and ice worms. Sex

inch in diameter were found in Febru-
ary and April Q916) abundantly on the
open snow fields of Mount Rainier, at
an elevation of 2,750 to 5000 feet above
sea level. They also. occurred on the
snow on the mountain slope protected
by a dense forest Of fir and hemlock.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid ice nor on the glaciers,
though they occur on the snow below
the ice from and outside of the lateral
moraines of the Nisqually glacier. The
snow on which they were found is not
permanent through the entire season.
but melts with the coming Of summer.
and it therefore appears that a part Of
their life must be spent on or In the

How Silk Worms Work.

On attaining their full growth silk
worms seek something to which to at
tach themselves in order to wind them
selves up in their silk envelopes. Hav-

ping it around its body as it spins.
This takes from 36 to 48 hours. If

Within week or ten days it would
