ing an Umbrella at Night to Keep

When John Armstrong Chaloner es
capped from New York insane asylum
and telegraphed his relatives the per-
tinent question: "Who's looney now?"
he merely gave Currency to a word
and connotation that are much older
than cur language. LUNA" is the
Latin word for moon, and ''lunacy,"
which is derived from ''luna." has
been attributed to the baneful effect
of the moons rays since very early
times. Just as night air is thought
by primitive people to cause i'll health,
so the light of the moon is believed
to derange the mind. A strict defini.
ton of the word climatic" is moon
struck"
In some Latin-American countries,
notably Haiti, the natives often may
be seen carrying umbrellas about with
them at night, during the light of the
moon, to safeguard their mentality.
The Romans had a goddess called
Luna. There is good English word.
'lunambulism," which means "som-
nambulism attributed to the influence
of the MOON" So ''looney" only means
mooney" another way of saying "be-
reft Of reason on account of exposure
to light rays reflected from the sun by
dead satellite" if you insist upon
exactness.

writes F. w. Ruckstuhl in Art World.
They go either to the anemic and
bloodless, or to the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden. or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to Gre
ate a 0btoriety bringing sensation. Be-
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-will advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources of mutual profit. Such vulgar
color mongers the layman can ignore.
for their fate is settled in advance.
They begin to pass into oblivion as
soon as they are born, like will O. the
wisps. The very constitution OF the
human mind and soul insures that.

! Of Beverage. Of Which Thsre Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage In Persia Is
sherbet, which is plentifully supplied
and of which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water with
squeeze of lemon to the clear concen-
trated juice of any sort Of fruit to
which water is added to dilute it.
The preparation of sherbet, which Is
done with greatest care, is very i'm
portant point in so thirsty country
as Persia, and one to which much time
is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the Juice of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract Of
pomegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to a
certain degree Of heat to preserve
1t for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is
called guzangebben; :. it is made from
the honey Of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee, but
the product of a small insect or worm
living in vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months OF
August and September the insect Is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it Is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, 1t makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved IN
pearwood.

When Water BolIa.

The temperature Of boiling water
may be varied by circumstances. What
we call boiling is the passage to the
surface of the vapor which forms at
the bottom Of vessel Of water when
1t is heated. The upward passage Of
the vapor through the water causes
commotion Of bubbling which We call
boiling. But this condition does not
always indicate the same degree Of
heat. Water with common salt in it
requires more heat to make it boil
than pure water because the salt re-
tards the rising of the vapor. The pres
sure Of the atmosphere affects the
boiling point. At sea level the boiling
point is 212 degrees, but at consid-
cradle distance above sea level it is
less and at distance below sea level it
is more than PIP degrees. At the City Of
Mexico, 7,471 feet above sea level, wa
ter boils at 1913 degrees of heat; at
Quito, 9,541 feet high, it boils at 1914
degrees, and in the Himalayas, at a
height of $4,000 feet, 1t boils at $50 de-
grees, or 80 degrees less than at sea
level. 1t would be difficult to make
water boil at the bottom Of shaft
several miles deep. In elevated places
many substances cannot be cooked by
boiling; water will bubble and boil at
a degree Of heat sufficient for
cooking.

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low in Higher Forms OF IN
teIIiGence, Tests Show.

1t is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire certain amount of valua-
BILE education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
says the Journal of Heredity, that such
children stand very low in all the high
er forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an examina-
ton of the environment in which they
are brought up. Association with old
err people Is one of the most important
factors in a child's education; but In
the poorer classes the dwellings arc
so small that child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much one may adj
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
1t offers full and rich environ
ment in which a child may unfold.
If child had inherited ability (and
many of the children who roam the
streets have not it could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of a modern city. street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for child to do. Much has been said
of the evils of child labor, but under
modern city conditions it is conceiva-
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

Great Shrine 81 the Japaneses Built
Centuries Ago. Il the Work ct
Forty Years

What st. Peters Is to Rome, what
Westminster Abbey is to London, what
the Pantheon was to Athens, that Is
the temple at Nikko to Japan today.
1t is the richest and most perfect ex-
preston of the art Of whole nation
in so far as that art can be gathered
into a single building. The Japanese
have been called nation of artists,
and in their great temple they have
gone far toward justifying the term.
The temple was built centuries ago
as a setting for the tomb Of the Sho-
gun Iyeyasu, perhaps the greatest ruler
Japan has ever known. 1t is the work
of forty years, of unnumbered scores
of patient and nameless artists, OF I'M
numbered thousands of forgotten work
men, a work that regarded neither
time nor effort nor cost.
The avenue Of stately pines that
leads to the temple is 20 miles long.
Before the building rushes a boiling
river spanned by two bridges, red and
green. The red bridge is for the mi
kado, the green bridge for common hui
manity, but the red Of the sacred
bridge is the exact tint needed to set
of the green Of the pines, the gray OF
the water and the brown Of the hills.
1t may not be trodden, but its color Is
there to complete the picture for the
humblest peasant.
The temple within is riot Of beauty,
with sculpture, mosaic lacquer work,
and beaten brass competing to catch
the appreciative eye. 1t takes many
days to see even hastily all the wealth
of art in this shrine.
Nowhere is the sure instinct Of the
builders better shown than In the tomb
itself. Not in the carven and gilded
temple, but withdrawn among the quiet
pines, in a smooth casket Of bronze
walled In with uncarven stones lie the
ashes Of Iyeyasu.

Ancient KEN.

1t was formerly thought that keys
were a strictly modern invention, but
among the ruins of Thebes have been
found keys with straight shanks five
inches long and bar at right angles
with three teeth, thus proving that the
Egyptians were familiar with the prin-
ciples of lock making. AS no locks but
only keys have been found among the
Egyptian ruins it is assumed that the
locks were of wood, only the keys be-
ing metal. The earliest mention Of
key to be taken from the lock occurs
in Judges 8 :23 rs. This was used to
fasten the door of the summer parlor
of Eglon, king of Moab. "Ehud went
forth through the porch, and shut the
doors of the parlor upon him and
locked them. His servants took key
and opened them" The date referred
to here is about 1896 B. @.

A repairer receiving a watch several

whether it will be less expensive to

There is no doubt that the hammock
is product Of the American Indian.
1t has never been found among the In
dams Of North America, however. but
is common In the West Indies and in
the tropical countries of South Amer
lea. The earliest reference to the
hammock, as far as we know, is found
in Columbus narrative of bis first voy-
age, where, after his landing at San
Salvador, he speaks of the natives
thus: "A great many Indians in
canoes came to the ship today for the
purpose of bartering their cotton and
hamacas or nets in which they slept"
These Indians, the first discovered by
Columbus, were Arawaks, and the
word hammock" comes direct from
the language Of that tribe.
