Araentina's Military System.

Every native or naturalized citizen
Of Argentina, at home or abroad, on
reaching the age Of eighteen years
must be enrolled. The federal execu-
tive power takes charge of this nation
al enrolment, which serves at once as
a registration of voters and national
defenders. A given individual, If at
home, Is enrolled In one Of the five
military districts into which the four
teen states and ten territories of Ar
gentina are divided. If he resides
abroad he Is enrolled in his consulate,
for the government follows him with
precision wherever he may wander.
With the exception Of these consular
registrations abroad the general en-
rollment is entirely in charge Of the
military authorities, who are counted
upon to get more thorough results than
a civil census provides.-World's Work.

Self Training 10 Best, Say. Armour.

In the American Magazine is an arti-
Gle by ]. o. Armour entitled Armour
Men Who Got Ahead-and Why" in
which Mr.. Armour gives his opinion Of
the qualifications that make for bust
ness success.
Zone Of the truest axioms I know"
he says, sis the business saying that
the best trained man is the self train
ed man. 1t is my belief that no man
developed by a formula in a business
organization can ever reach the power
Of one who is put on his own RESPONSE
bility, knowing that his advancement
depends on his own brains, foresight
and application.
by this do not mean that a bust
ness leadef should let his men 60 along
blindly. He must always give some
thing OF himself. He must teach them
the overland and crawl strokes where
they knew only the breast stroke be-
fore. But in any Office organization
the man who has never had to stand
squarely on his own feet is never in a
position to march ahead"

Work of a Microscona.

One Of the newest of astronomical
instruments Is the blink microscope.
The principle involved Is similar to
that of the moving picture machine.
In the latter the film used consists of a
series of pictures, each q little differ
ent from its predecessor If these are
presented in rapid succession the Sc
ries Is fused into one picture in which
the succeeding differences appear as
motion. The blink microscope enables
one to compare a photograph of a por-
ton Of the heavens with another of
the same region taken several years
later. An ingenious continuance brings
first one then the other plate into view
in rapid succession. If in the interval
between two exposures a star in the
region has changed its position appre-
ciably it will appear to move and can
be detected at once. Formerly it was
necessary to measure carefully the po-
sitions Of all the stars on both plates
In order to detect those with large
proper motions. Such stars are some
times called runaway" stars.

Tokyo's Prolific SIums.

No tourist crosses the Sumida river
unless it is to visit the great amphi-
theater for a wrestling match or a
chrysanthemum show, yet there is
where the real secret Of Tokyo's fu-
ture lies. 1t is the factory and slum
sections Of the city, and the population
there has increased in the last decade
ten times as fast as has the population
in the district of Kojimachi, which
surrounds the palace.
In the last generation the population
of the five greatest industrial and COM
mercial cities in Japan has increased
by 314 per cent as against an increase
in the whole empire of 10 per cent
The trend in Japan is cityward, and
the visitor to Tokyo, seeing the streets
crowded with people, does not realize
that in the suburbs the growth in popu-
lation has run from $50 to 500 per cent
in the last decade.-Christian Herald.

CIeyer Advertisinu,

An ingenious advertisement recently
made its appearance on the walls and
boardings Of French town. 1t said:
"a wallet containing the sum Of 800
francs and a large number Of orders
has been lost by a travelling salesman
Of the firm Of X. & Co. The finder Is
requested to return the orders to x. &
Co. and to keep the 800 francs as a re-
ward for his trouble In so doing"
OF course everybody read the adver-
tisement OF course everybody said to
himself that the batch Of orders on x.
& Co. must be a nice, fat one. Thus
by a clever stratagem x. & Co. man.
aged to diffuse among the public the
impression that theirs was a large
business, with an immense number Of
customers. Not even the Americans"
says the proud Frenchman who reports
this example Of Gallo enterprise, mot
even the Americans could have worked
the trick better."-New York Post. /

FRAGRANT Fern.

Some say it has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. 1t reminds others Of fresh
strawberries. There are also those
who detect it in the perfume OF the
wild rose. Opinions differ as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all opin-
Ions are unanimous In praising 1t. So
they call it the fragrant fern.
1t grows in small, round clumps in
clefts on the face Of precipice, out Of
reach Of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for 1t. For this rea-
son it is not well known. Its out OF
the way haunts provide an efectual
hiding place.
The hardness Of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t
grows In full glare Of the sun, in
places where more common ferns
would be scorched and withered. Yet
the fronds remain green throughout
the year, and even the year-old fronds,
which turn brown at the end Of the
season, curl up around the roots Of
the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil-
adelphia North American.

RAaa and Eruir

An agricultural society Of Florence,
Italy, has recently carried out a thor
ough Investigation Of the alleged In
jury OF fruit by bees and has COM
pletely exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin of the
fruit, and it Is only incidentally that
they suck the juices Of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
Is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other in
sects. Instead Of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service OF effecting the
cross pollination of flowers, and hence
the setting Of fruit as well as the de-
struction of damaged fruits especially
grapes) by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals.
The orchards and vineyards frequented
by bees give the most constant crops

The Arabic LANGUAGE.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population Of London, their Ian
guage is one of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world, for it is
the language Of the Koran. Seventy
millions Of people in Asia and north
Africa speak some form of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something of the language
from the Koran, which In the original
Is text book in the day schools of the
Mohammedans from Turkey to Afgha-
nistan and New Guinea. Nor is Arabic
unworthy of this extensive use. Re
nan, after expressing his surprise that
such a language should spring from
the desert regions Of Arabia and reach
perfection in nomadic camps. declares
that it surpasses all its sister Semitic
languages in richness of vocabulary,
delicacy Of expression and the logic of
its grammatical Observation-Disclosures

Aluminium and Oxyuen

Aluminium is in many ways a won.
derful substance, albeit I'm the natural
world most of it is oxidized and turned
to clay. Its avidity for oxygen is one
Of its most salient characteristics. 1t is
said that one never sees the metal, di.
rectly, in air, but always and only
through a veil of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidity. 1t is stated that if
a fresh surface Of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with a knife the
oxygen Of the air runs in as fast as the
scale Is peeled off and keeps close be-
hind the knife blade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale Of oxide, which acts as a barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or defagrate In air. The large
amount of heat developed by thermit,
a mixture of powdered aluminium with
oxygen giving substances, bears wit
ness to. the activity of the oxidizing
process when completed.-Washington

Tact and Success.

Tact is a combination of good tenn
per, ready wit, quickness Of percep-
ton and ability to take In the exigency
of the occasion instantly. 1t is never
offensive, but is a balm allaying sus-
picion and soothing. 1t Is appreciated.
1t is plausible without being dishon-
est, apparently consults the welfare Of
the second party and does not mani
fest any selfishness. 1t is never antag.
onistic, never opposes, never strokes
the hair the wrong way and never irri-
tates. Tact, like a fine manner, eases
the way, takes the jar out Of the jolts,
oils the bearings, opens doors barred
to others, sits in the drawing room
when others must wait in the recep-
ton hall, gets into private offices when
others are turned down. 1t admits you
into exclusive circles, where wealth
abounds, even though poor. 1t secures
the position when merit is turned
away. Tact is a great manager. 1t
easily controls people, even when COM
bined with small ability, when genius
cannot get along.

Our Fishing Presidents.

Fourteen of the tWenty-SeVen preSi-
dents of the United States have been
fishermen. When fishing and the pres
ilency are mentioned the mind in
SANITY recalls Cleveland, the fishing
nresident. He is the one president
who wrote a book discussing angling.
II is not generally known, but the first
uresident of the republic was an en-
thusiaStic angler. 1t may be of inter
est to the enthusiastic anglers Of the
nation to record the names of the fish
hg presidents. They are George
Washington. Martin Van Buren,, John
Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Willard Fill

coin, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Simp-

ldolatry a. Il 10.

After months spent In idolatrous lands
l have been unable to see much real
worship In heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists in
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of a departed little
one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo, the
god Of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes of wood
en- god and then rub his own in the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his affrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-
fed, as well attended and as helpful as
our own. In Hakodate 1 attended a
Buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less Of idolatry and more Of morals
than some ceremonials in our cruel
form chapels.-Christian Herald.

Dust Dangers.

An analysis OF the contents Of a
vacuum cleaner made recently showed
that the dust which had collected on
the bookshelves In a library consisted
Of chair, green wool, white wool, cot
ton fbers, celluloid, pieces Of finger
nails, fly wings, sand grains, wood, pa
per, string, metallic iron and leather.
The hair was probably derived from
soft hats, the wool and cotton fibers
from clothing sand from the mud
tracked In on shoes and the gradual
pulverizing Of the floor, fly wings from
dead flies and paper from book leaves"
Curiously enough, very few germs
were found in this dust. Yet there Is
no question that inhaling it might lead
to various diseased conditions. This
would not be the result Of any disease
germs contained In the dust itself, but
to the irritating effects produced by
the dust particles when brought into
contact with the bronchial membranes.
Thus it Is evident that even germ free
dust may be harmful when inhaled

The Ideal Kitchen.

The kitchen Is the real workshop Of
the family. Most Of the work there
has to do with preparing food for the
family, cleaning it up and putting it
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy Of
steps and time, but today this is al
ways done. There Is a logical order
for the arrangement Of the equipment.
Things that belong to each process
should be together, within the reach
OF the worker. The icebox, cold PAN
try, kitchen cabinet, stove and serving
table are used together and should be
In q close continuous line. This is the
food preparation side of the equip
ment. For the cleaning up of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or In
buffers pantry, the track should be
straight for clearing up. Always have
plenty Of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side is the best
plan, or at least a set Of hanging
shelves, a hinged shelf and extra Ia.
BILE or wheeled table at the right. II
the drain table is porcelain a rubber

Eskimo Carving.

ALI of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools. but there is work
in existence that dates back to the
stone age. The older Eskimos say that
their ancestors used tools of flint, and
it is known that they have been cary
ing ivory for many generations. Some
Of the very poorest of them and those
that live in the most out of the way
places are noted for their work of this
kind. They seem to do it for pastime
and make many toys and dolls for
their children. They have a way of
softening the bone, horn or ivory be-
fore they work it, and to make the
carvings more distinct they etch lines
on the surface with black paint made
of a mixture of gunpowder and blood.
This, when put on the freshly cut bone.

Lettres de Cachet.

Lettres de cachet was the name given
in France to warrants sealed with the
kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or eXiled. The first
came into use about 1910 and shortly
became one Of the popular terrors Of
France. 1t is said that no less than 5000
lettres de cachet were issued during
the reign of Louis XIV. and $4,000 dur
ing the reign of Louis XIV. In many
cases these terrible documents were
secretly sold and used as a source of
Illicit revenue. They were frequently
signed in blank, and the holder Of one
Of these royal terrors could write in
the name Of any person against whom
he happened to have a grudge. The ma
tional assembly abolished this iniqui-
tous privilege of issuing lettres de
cachet on Nov. /, 1850.

Houses Made of Glass,

Glass is becoming more generally
used as building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have been
utilized where strength and durability
as well as beauty were essential fea-
lures. Glass is used for wainscoting,
for partitions, for ceilings and for fac
ing the fronts Of buildings. 1t is also
being used for foundations.
1t has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength Of glass is three
times that Of granite, six times that Of
ordinary brick and ten times that of
concrete. Another advantage it has
over these materials Is that it is abso-
lutely nonabsOrbent, so that a glass
building can be perfectly dry inside, no
matter what the atmospheric condi-
lions outside.-Atlanta Journal
