Storm Detector,

A device by which the approach Of
summer thunderstorms can be detect.
ed hours before the first cloud appears
IN the sky has been perfected by d
New York electric power company.
The company needed something Of the
sort, for on the arrival OF a storm
there are always increasing demands
for electricity In a city. and the central
station must be prepared In advance.
The storm detector is a wireless mech.
anism, which is affected by the electric
disturbance going far In advance Of
the thunderstorm itself. The warning
signal Is given by an ordinary electric
bell. When the storm Is several hours
on the bell begins to ring at intervals,
and az thunder clouds approach It
gives on a continuous peal.

matter of the maximum fee. "The

BEAUTY FOR ALL WHO SEEK
siature Ha. Provided It In Abundance,
and There is No Price Put
Upon 1t.

This is a world Of beauty free to
all who will appreciate it. The poor
est man may delight as much In a
rose as anyone, and sometimes more.
The poor man may take pleasure in
the beauty OF garden as he passes
to his work. He may appreciate the
beauty without having the cares.
The blue sky of the heavens above
him is not less beautiful. He can adj
mlre the foliage, the blossoms, the con-
tour of tree and can take delight I'm
II quite as we'll az the man of wealth.
There Is no place so barren but that
something is there to inspire the i'm
aglnation and elevate the soul. If one
sees every beauty, one can fill ones
life with thoughts that make the soul
ring with their joy. And seeking
beauty everywhere helps to lift the
most disagreeable work from the bog
gy plane of drudgery.. The endeavor
to absorb the beauty of streams. hills,
fields, trees, flowers, birds and bees
refines the character. Love Of natures
beauty inspires the soul to love Of
spiritual beauty. And the one who
fills ones soul with such love makes
hardshlps easier TO bear and the world
happier.-Milwaukee Journal.

a good sample of black paper for maxi

absolutely Opaque and free from pin

"a sense of the dramatic is, Of
course, closely connected with sense
Of humor. If you have this faculty for
getting outside yourself and criticizing
yourself, you will be pretty sure to see
whether you look ridiculous. If you
are a real artist In the exercise of the
gift, you will also see yourself in. your
right perspective with regard to other
people. The artist must not be an
egoist. He must not allow the lime
light to be conferred on himself. He
will see himself, not as the hero Of
the story, but as one Of the characters
the hero, perhaps, of one chapter.
but equally a minor character In the
others. The greatest artist Of all, prob
ably. Is the man who prays, and tries
to see the story as the author designed

proportion, the most adequate sense Of
humor of all. Undoubtedly prayer is
the highest form of exercising this
sense of the dramatic.-From "A Stu

LIBRARIES OF REAL SERVICE
ExeIusIveness That Marked Them 80
Many Years Practically a Thing
Of the Past.

The American public library has dur
ing the last two or three decades un-
dergone wonderful change In the d.
rection of usefulness. From reposi-
tory OF books accessible to small
class Of patrons who knew about what
they wished, the open-shelf system has
grown, and now In most Libraries the
books are available for inspection. In
stead Of being only place to keep
books. the library is place to study
books In the aggregate, to gain some
knowledge of the wealth Of printed In
formation and entertainment. With
this idea there has come the reference
function, and the whole development
has been accompanied by a tendency
toward taking the books TO the people.
The librarian during this time has
grown from q bookish person, rather
Inclined to resent the intrusion of pa
irons on the ground that they left gaps
