Proper View of Life.

Why is it, I wonder, that the little boy almost always imagines that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? Why does the dissolute man conclude that. outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, if there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding love; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world i; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize. that in the com- mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac- tice the virtues that you know. Cher ish the love that is yours now. Value the friends that you have known; and in the superficial you will find the profound, and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle- tin,

ECLIPSE OF MOON TO OCCUR TONIGHT
 LITTLE AFTER F
Of Seven Eclipses to Occur This Year, This Will Be
 One of Two Visible Here.

If you are willing to remain awake until midnight and bit later to- night, you will be able to witness one of the two lunar eclipses which are scheduled to be visible iE the United States this year.
 Unless, the calculations are disrupt- ed because of broken rail. open switch or misunderstanding of orders. the earth will get in between the sun and the moon along about mid night, thus depriving the moon of the suns rays, and causing what is com monly known as total eclipse of the moon.
 Astronomers all over the country, and in all countries where the eclipse will be visible, have completed pre- paIations for the observations to be taken tonight, and it will be. some what of an important affair for them, as it is the first of the astroncmical phenomena carded for the year 1917.
 Of the seven eclipses scheduled for this year, four of the sun and three of the moon, the eclipse tonight. and another total eclipse of the moon to take place December 2S, will be the only two visible in the United States.

 ACCELERATE TETHELlN
This Sounds Like Patent Medicine Ad, But It lsnt--Ifs the story of
 Scientific Discovery.

Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 6.-Scientlsts at the University of California have discovered the substance that pro- Guces growth in the human body, it was announced today. Tethelin is what they call it; if is located in the pituitary body at the base of the brain and retarding or acceleratlng it's functions may be possible, according to the Berkeley scientists, to control tie stature of human being.
 Announcement of the discovery was made by pr. T. B. Robertson. profes- sor of biochemistry. who said he had succeeded in isolating tethelin and that he believed it was the first lime in the history of biological science that it had been done.
 Dr. Robertson said his experiments covered a period of four years, and the ultimate importance of the dis coveries made by him and his assist ants could not be estimated at thls time.

Original St. Sophia.

One of the most interesting of Sa- loniki's famous 22 churches is St. Sophia. Like it's greater homonym of Constantinople, the National Geo. graphic Magazine observes, it is a domed basilica, and it was long con- sidered to be a provincial copy of that great original. As matter of fact, the Saloniki church is the original, having been built hundred years or more the earlier, at the end of the fourth or the beginning os the fifth century. The church has suffered dis astrously by fire, earthquake and restoration, but the original lines of the structure remain, as we'll as the pillars and beautiful capitals of wind blown acanthus, and two fine frag- ments of mosaic. The principal mosa- ic, an Ascension, with decorative green trees between the standing figures, lines the great dome. It is supposed to date from 645, though the figure of Christ in the center is older still.

ENGLISH OFFER TO
 SELL SHELLS TO U. S.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Hadfeld's, Limited, an English concern, outbid American companies in proposals onened yesterday for 16-inch and IA inch armor-piercjng projectiles for the United States navy. Not only are the English company's figures more than $2OO per projectile below the nearest American competitor, but the time is cut in half, the shells to be delivered in the United States duty paid.
 Five companies submitted propos- als for the 16-inch type, the first of that size to be ordered for the navy. The lowest American bid was that of the Washington Steel & Ordnance company, which offered to make 2.300 prciectiles in 32 months at $7oO The Hadfields bid was for 5000 i'll l6 months at $o13.
 Secretary Daniels said the ability of the English concern to seek foreign orders during the war probably was due to the fact that with heavy ships taking little active part in the naval fighting, there is no need to conserve the ammunition supply for big navy guns. He said the Hadfelds com pany's offer would be considered in awarding contracts.

Truth ana Evasion,

The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in q room for hours and not opened his teeth and yet come out of Shat room t dislOyal friend or vile calumniator. And how many loves have perished be- cause, from pride, or spite, or diff dence, or that unnanly shame which withholds man from daring to be- tray emotion, q lover. at the critical point of relaxation has but hung his head or held his tongue? And again, q lie may be told by a truth, or a truth conveyed through lie. Truth to facts Is not always truth to sentiment; and part of the truth, as often happens in answer to a question, may be the foul est calumny. A fact may be an ex- ception; but the feeling is the law, and it is that you must neither garble. nor belle to tell the truth. rightly un- derstood, is not to state the true facts, but convey q true impression; i; truth in spirit, not truth to letter, is the true veracity.-Robert Louis Ste venSOn.

Monkey No Longer Boasted.

The monkey was forever blowing about what man has accomplished. "This descendant of mine," he would say, 'is the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening. Finally some of them induced him to go to theater. After each act he would say to the other animals: "Those people are my descendants and am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down and danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before and few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house, and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants. Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Vitrified Brick Blocks Will Be Laid Between Main
 and Walnut.

Tentative plans were perfected yes terday, at conference of the inter- ested parties and persons. for the re- paving of Third avenue, between Main street and Walnut street. in a manner which will mean considerable more space for wagon roads, and at the same time make the street more safe for vehicles.

The Cotton Belt off cials have agreed to rearrange their switch tracks in the street, and to relay all the tracks with new and heavier rail. Approximately eight feet more of wagon road will be pro- yided, thru this encouragement. it IS said
 The improvement district in which that section of the street is located, the city government and the Cotton Belt railroad will share in the cost Of repaving the three blocks oi this street. Additional catch basins will be installed, to carry off storm drain, age: the street will be raised to grade, at which level it has never been; and the main sewer, which has Cften been broken or otherwise dam aged under the present conditions. will be given better protection. The work will be started as soon as pre- liminaries can be arranged, which is expected to be within the next few weeks.

Two Uses for Myths.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that myths were invented by leg. islators ito persuade the many and to be used in support of law" Modern scholars think 1t more likely that early lawmakers found these myths already prevalent and saw how they could be made an instrument for governing men. Such myths appear to be of two kinds: those which are used to lend weight to authority, and those which have been invented by the weak and oppressed to coax or frighten the strong into treating them more le0ientlY.
