The Secret of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that ad-
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than in the indefatiga-
BILE expectancy with which one awaits
them, writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the
Atlantic. Indeed, sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure Is greater treas
ure than the experiencing Of it. If we
are possessed Of the affinity, adventure
itself is, at most, just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life Of
adventure to all who crave it. What
possibilities lie In merely crossing a
street, for examplel Some one re-
marked the other day as he lodged
across among the motorcars, "Why not
take a chance now and then and lead
q real life for a few minutes?"
1 therefore recommend the life Of ad-
venture. 1t conceives each day as
fresh enterprise, full Of delightful pos
sibilities and promise, and so preserves
the wine of life from growing fiat.
Here is the secret Of youth.

EVERY GOLFER is CHAMPION
II He Doesn't Like the Ordinary
classifications He Can Make New
Ones TO Suit Himself.

1t long has been q mystery to the
man who doesn't play golf to under
stand what there is about the game to
make otherwise dlgnified and rational
persons to go nutty over it. Should a
n0n-golfer casually confide to his fam
lily doctor that all is not well. and that
he finds that he can't get away with
three square meals day and light
lunch before retiring quite so happily
as ne used to, the medical man prob
ably will tell him to play golf. And if
the non-gOlfer asks If the doctor PLAYS
the game, the physician proceeds to
give him 5000 words on how he made
the seventeenth hole in three, and that
ne can swing his mashie like Chick
Evans. And it is the same with other
acquaintances; they all prescribe their
fad as means of battling old age.
Another queer thing about the game
is the ready conceit acquired by the
dub, says the Seattle Post-Intellisen-
Ger. Give near-golfer two or three
lessons and he is ready to bet money
= ANU AC Will 90 u u lou OF
trouble to round up a bunch of other
dubs and take them out to the links
to trim them out of 40 cents. ANY
player may be champion in his class.
He may be the best 240-pound, side
whiskered and bald-headed player in
the world. If he doesn't like the ordi-
nary classification he can make new
ones to suit him. There is no reason
why any man should not be champion
in his class.
Also it is exasperating for a man
who must stay In the office or store
all day to have somebody come in and
clank his golf sticks on the floor and
talk about niblicks and brassies and
the "drive through stroke" whatever
that is. And just when the conversa-
ton gets around to the point where
one could happily expatiate on the
joys of backyard garden, a motor
boat or fiivver, the bounder usually
rises and leaves hurriedly.

The Bows Example.

answer, he proceeded to an explana-
ton. He told them that it was a kind
Of musical drama usually founded on
some Scripture story, and he instanced

examples. He then appealed to the
class to give him other examples.
One boy, who YVES manifesting a

oratorios, was at length asked, and
fairly nonplussed the master by his

The cheapest eating in the world is
rice and peanuts, measured by the
calories, which constitute the only real
test. The former costs five cents per
1000 calorles and the latter seven
cents. So that If person would eat a
good helping Of rice and wind up by a
plentiful dessert Of peanuts, he would
get more muscle, brain, nerve and bone
cut of it than he would out of a diet
OF roast beef and potatoes. There Is
no attention paid to the value of food
In practical living. Our sole guide is
what hits our appetite, says the Ohio
State Journal. We want what 'we'd
ruther," as the poor woman told Jane
Adams. 1t is going in and buying
potatoes by the pile, without regard
to the bushels or pecks. There is
twice as much living in some kinds Of
foods as in others and yet We pass up
our plate perfectly unconcerned
whether it comes back with 500 or
1000 calories. This is one reason we
are poor.

Measuring Your Pace.

How many steps do you take to the
mile? Even if your considered reply
be 81, 76O," shall take leave to doubt
it. Should you be British infantry
man your pace will be the longest Of
any infantryman. The Russian pace
is the shortest, being but 271a inches !;
the French, italian and Austrian pace
is 20 inches, the Germans do 80 inches,
while British soldiers stride an extra
half inch. But your own pace, what
of it? 1t depends upon your height.
Take your eyebrow height, halve it,
and that represents your pace. You
will find it to be somewhere between
80 inches and 80 inches, so that you
will need between 1000 and 2,100
PAGES to the mile.-London Chronicle.

Gases Used in Warfare.

A recent scientific report from Eu-
rope treats of the principal gases used
for attack. These include chlorine,
bromine, sulphur dioxide and formal
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective, because of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water. These gases are
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
in order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have suffi-
cient weight to stick to the ground.
The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness Of
the gas attacks, but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
"gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless vapors set up inside the
gas masks.

Strong Wireless Signals in Winter.

A series of tests lasting over two
years were completed some time ago,
with the object of finding out how
much stronger radio signals between
two selected stations would be in win
ter than in summer. The test signals
were sent nearly every day during that
tine, and the amount of power sent
and the intensity of signals received
were carefully measured. 1t was found
that the best time of year was from
November to February, and that then
the messages were about six times as
loud as during the months from May
to August.-Popular Science Monthly.
