Copper Had a Heart.

Here Is potato theft which
showed the cop to be a real humani-
tartan: A little, frail, white-haired
old woman, her bent shoulders coy-
cred with small shawl, came down
an Eastside street toward the corner
grocery store. In front of the store
she stopped and glanced hastily
around. Her trembling old hands
came out from under the shawl, seized
two or three potatoes on the top Of q
basket and were drawn back under
the shawl again. For second she
stood there, her thin lips moving as If
In prayer, then she went on. Not ten
feet away stood big patrolman with
his back turned resOlutely toward the
store and his gaze fixed across the
street. The storekeeper was singular
ly unobserving. AS soon as the little
old woman had gone the big COP
turned to the storekeeper and re-
marked: "She's fixed for the day,
eh?' Eyes, all right for today 7"
laughed back the storekeeper.-New

We never heard the word efficiency
In those days, so far as I can re-
member outside the physics labora-
tory. Would to heaven it had stayed
there 1t must not be supposed, how
ever, that we did not work when we
did work. AS I look about me, I do
not see many young men under our
present efficient systems who seem to
be working harder. Somehow we de-
rived from the old men a thirst for
knowledge, a restless curiosity joy

can induce students to pursue their
researches voluntarily outside of the
classroom is the best kind of teaching

most of the joy of college life is con-
fined to the student body, and that
that is often hectic. The faculties
seem to me overwOrked, over serious,

trusted to get some good out Of leis-

POWER OF FIREFLY'S LIGHT
Brightest Only When In
Flight.

Calculating the candle power Of a
firefys light is no easy matter, espe-
cially as it shows it's brightest light
only when in flight; but William FL.
Pickering Of the Harvard astronomical
station at Vaudeville, Jamaica, man
aged to do it by comparing it with the
light Of certain stars, says the Elec-
trical Experimenter. The jamaican
FREELY gives brighter light than those
with which we in the States are ia
miliar, and Pickering's calculations are
for that of the tropical insect. In q
recent letter to Nature he states that ::
"a great number of them fly along
a neighboring road and their position
can be determined by their illumlna-
T ton on the inclosing stone walls
Their brightness was found to equal
that of the star Canopus, which was
altitude. It's brightness was at that
time equal to Orionis the altitude of
which was 40 degrees. 1t was very
clear evening, as is generally the case
here, so that we may take the bright
ness of the latter as Of one magnitude.
The distance Of the road was 175 feet,
or 90 meters. A zero magnitude star
is equal to one candle power at 526
meters. II Of zero magnitude the light
OF the FREELY would therefore have been
just O.O1 Of a candle power. Being Of
first magnitude, its light was 0044
candle power. This result is probably
correct within half magnitude, or SO
per cent, and considering the apparent
brillfancy of the insect, Is smaller
than one would have expected.

Military authorities have branded
as misguided patriotism the present
fad of wearing the flag on collars,
stockings, neckties, etc. They state
that it is proper, if one desires to
wear the emblem on the coat lapel,
but nowhere else. They state that
the wearing of the flag as a personal
decoration is cheapening the emblem
and the practice should be discontin-
ued. The flag ITSELF and good
one, should be displayed upon resi-
dences and business places.

FIRST HUMANS BLACK HAIRED
interesting Theory Formulated b.
American Expert on Conditions in
the Tropical Regions.

Lieut.. Col. Charles E. Woodruff,
whose long experience as chief medi-
cal officer of the American army in the
Philippines makes him an expert on
tropical conditions, has written a book
called Medical Ethnology," in which
he advances some interesting theories
on dark skinned and white-skinned
book says:
'The author holds that the first hui
man beings were black-haired animals
but not black skinned, as their seat of
country where conditions of life were
hard, necessitating great develop
ment of brain, since only the most in
telligent could survive. They were
originally cave-dwellers. After a time,
when the earth was largely peopled
with this race, there arose large
blond type in northern Europe-Nietz-
sche's blond beast" the TeutOnic su-
perman-who established himself in a
dominating position in many countries
by right of conquest.
''TO this race belonged the ancient
Greeks, the original Romans, the rul-
ing race in Egypt, and so forth. Un-
fortunately this type tends to die out
when it migrates from it's native eli
mate, and so in time the Romans died
out and their empire fell to pieces and
the glorious period Of the Greek intel
lect was short-lived. In the same way
white races fail at the present day to
establish themselves permanently in
tropical climates"
The Lancet quotes also some Of
Colonel WoOdruff's opinions on the ef-
feet of light, which he considers al
most wholly harmful to white men.
"The dark skin of tropical races
serves as protection by cutting off
the rays of light; it also assists the
body in radiating heat, but at the
same time favors absorption from
hot environment, so that dark races
stand such heat as that Of a stokehole
worse than light-skinned people,
Contrary to common opinion, the
author holds that bright light is bad
for children at school, rendering them
restless and irritable. The neurasthe-
MIA which affects white residents in the
tropics and their children is due, he
considers, largely to excessive light,
aided doubtless by high temperature

full Properties.

The occasional discovery OF some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped
detection, serves TO emphasize the lin
itatiOns Of the sum total Of human
knowledge as compared to the still un-
solved mysteries of the universe.
1t is recent discovery, for exam
pie. that the cactus plant contains an
almost invaluable heart stimulant
Formerly the entire cactus family
were regarded as practically useless
termined. Then it was discovered that
this plant made excellent fodder for
domestic animals when shOrn of It's
SpineS; and chemists found in the
leaves a substance which appeared to
be a powerful heart stimulant for hu-
man beings. Curiously enough this
substance does not affect the lower an
imals as 1t does human beings; and
this fact led many Investigators to
question it's potency. Most medicinal
substances affect the lower animals, or
at least some of them, In much the
same manner as they affect human be-
ings. Cactus Is an exception, how
ever; and although it contains heart
stimulant Of such powerful action that
1t must be administered with caution
it produces no perceptible effects on
the animals that are commonly used
for the testing experiments.
