While other things become scarce,
the supply of dirt is increasing. As the
street cleaners are evidently opposed to
cleaning, every householder should get a
broom and assemble the dirt Immediately
fronting his own home. Perhaps this
would convince the contractors, who say
the city is clean, that they are suffering
from defective vision.

Where This Stupid Animal Poses as a
Student of Astronomy.
For an animal that Is rated so low
in the scale of intelligence as the turtle
1t is really amazing to note the keen
sense of intuition they display.
There Is a tradition among the ma
tives of Venezuela that turtles will not
begin to lay their eggs until the South
ern Cross, which Is the characteristic
object of the armament In the southern
hemisphere, is completely formed
that Is, not until the four stars which
form the cross have moved on through
the heavens and have reached a posi-,
ton perpendicular to the horizon.
1t is even reported by a member of
one exploring expedition In Venezuela
that at midnight, when the turtles
were being watched by the naturalists,
the great mass of creatures went back
into the waters without laying, leaving
but a few of their companions behind
them to act as sentinels.
At half past In the morning. at the
moment when the Southern Cross
seemed exactly perpendicular to the
horizon, great motion was perceived
on the shore of the river, and the tur
ties came out In battalions. They scat
tered rapidly in all directions, dug
holes in the sand, deposited their eggs
and then covered up the places, taking
great pains to leave the surface smooth

lea

Washington, d. c., June 26.--Locomo'
tives, locomotives, and still more locomo'
tives, are the fundamental needs of Rus
STA to-day, according to Professor Lomo'
nosoff, railroad minister, with the Rus.
sian mission. "Quite frankly, | can say
to you, our American friends" he said
give us locomotives and we shall give
you military success"
Russia needs at once 900 l0-wheeled
American locomotives to put her idle
cars in operation; another thousand with
an appropriate number of cars to free the
congested freight terminals, and another
$50 annually to meet the deficiency be-
tween Russia's manufacture and her
needs for renewal and new construction.
The United States, the professor said, is
Russia's hope in this huge program, and
are now in progress which
are most promising.
II must frankly tell you" Professor
Lomonosoff said, painful as it may be
for me to make such admissions, that the
Russian railways are now in most crit
zeal state. Heroism can do nothing when
there is lack of munitions and food.
And only sufficient number OF loco
motives can guarantee our armies trans
port facilities for such supplies"
The Siberian railroad, he said, is in
splendid condition for the immense task
put upon it. Coal is available and ade-
1uate sidings have now been completed.
Turning to the main issue, Professor
Lomonosoff said;
Present conditions on railroads in
Russia are nothing but an inheritance
rom our short sighted old government.
Two thirds of all our railroads are owned
~ the state, and to justify itself from
he true reproaches of the Duma that
,ur railways are uneconomically man
lged, the old government decided to raise
heir revenues"

Called an Invention of the Evil One to

God said, Let there be light The

bins of New York In an article entitled
"Heliophobia, Menace to the Commu-
nifty" published In the Medical Record.
According to bulletin of the Ameri-
can Association For the Conservation
of Vision, at least half the educated
population Of the United States is az
ficted with defects of eyesight.
As matter of fact, sunlight so far
from being injurious to the eyes Is one
of the most successful cures for ira
choma, the commonest of eye diseases.
DIR. Robbins is amazed at the number
of persons who find sunlight trying
and at the number who still cling TO
the old and long exploded notion that
sunshine is bad for the eyes. He
blames the persons In authority In our
libraries, postofices and railroad COM
panies for persistentIy pulling down
the blinds in their institutions and cars.
He urges those who are oppressed by
sunlight TO wear smoked glasses and
not to deprive others of the beneficent

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
Every Worker Should Get q Chance to
Exercise His Ability.


Exercise His Ability.
In the American Magazine Herman
Schneider, dean of the school Of en-
cheering of the University of Cincin-
natl, who has devoted his life to
study of human ability and fitting the
right job to the right man, says:
There is a new psychology of work.
One Of its most inspiring principles is
that the man who makes a failure on
one job is likely to make a success Of
the job Of an opposite type, assuming,
of course, that he fails In the face of
real effort This is the significance Of
failure: 1t points the way to an occu-
patton which means success. Failure
to willing man is merely misplace
ment on his job. Failure at one job is
not calamity; 1t is an indication. Ev-
cry failure is guidepost to success.
Fortunately some employers are be-
ginning to understand this. When
man fails in one job they shift him
to another of an opposite type. And
Ii the worker is not lazy or dishon-
est he usually succeeds. No foreman
should be allowed to discharge a man.
He should merely report to central
Office that the man is not successful on
his particular kind Of work. In an
other department he may break rec
ords. To fire man who has failed at
one job is poor business. The shifting
of failures means the making of sue

London, June Fisherman people need
have no fear that they will die from
starvation this winter, for the govern
ment sends out the reassuring statement
that owing to the long expected rainfall
the crop prospects in some parts of the
country are brilliant and in others most
satisfactory. A Copenhagen despatch
points out that the same tactics have
been followed in previous years and that
this policy is pursued partly TO encour-
age people at home and partly to dis
courage the enemy. The correspondent
asserts that private dispatches indicate
that the coming harvests in Germany
will be anything but satisfactory.
