WEIGHT OF THE FEET.
Greater When You Are Asleep Than
When You Are Awake.

Greater When You Are Asleep Than
When You Are Awake.
Your feet weigh more when you are
asleep than when you are awake At
least that is the conclusion of a scien-
tist who has experimental with the
question. These tests were conducted
in most interesting manner The sub.
ject was laid Oh long plank. which
was then placed upon crosstree, see
saw fashion. The man upon the plank
was balanced on this crosstree, and
the plank remained at level without
any effort upon his part. But the mo-
ment that he went to sleep 1t began to
incline downward at the end opposite
his head.
This experiment was repeated with
a number of persons belonging to both
sexes, and in every case the result was
the same. In no instance did the
sleeper's head incline toward the
ground.
This phenomenon is explained by the
fact that the head is drained Of surplus
blood when person is asleep, and the
blood naturally flows toward the ex-
tremities of the sleeper. Immediately
this makes the head lighter in weight,
the difference being sufficient to upset
the balance of man resting in the .po-
sition descrbed.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Rarometer PAPER.

Barometer paper, that changes Its
color according as the weather is wet
or dry, may be made under several
formulas, according to the color you
want. One formula is: Cobalt chloride
one part; gelatin, ten parts; water, 1OC
parts. In this the normal color is pink
This color changes to violet in medium
humid weather and to blue in wet
weather. Another formula that makes
yellow in dry weather calls for cupric
chloride, one part; gelatin, ten parts;
water, 100 parts. Still another formu'
la Is cobalt chloride, one part; gelatin
twenty parts; nickel oxide, seventy-fve
parts; water, POO parts. This gives q
green In dry weather Immerse paper
or muslin in either solution. Brooklyn

A Theodore Thomas Retort.

A characteristic story is told of one
of the first rehearsals of the college
choir (of the Cincinnati College of Mu-
sic), at which Theodore Thomas had
reprimanded some of the sopranos
sharply for inattention. He treats us
as If we were members of his orches-
tra!' exclaimed an indignant singer TO
her next neighbor Thomss overheard
the remark and let 1t pass for the mo-
ment, but at the close Of the rehearsal.
as the performers were leaving the
stage, he passed the lady in question
and, turning to her, said very quietly,
but with that biting sarcasm which
those who knew him did not care to
excite, Madam, you will have to sing
a great deal better than you do now
before ! shall treat you as treat the
members of my orchestral Memoirs
OF Theodore Thomas.

Gentlemen-Every wheel in every
factory, mill and work shop is turn
ing and there isn't an idle man in
Coos county except from choice. We
need from 500 to 1000 men. We
want ship carpenters, bridge carpent-

wages for common labor is 1918

wise you that any press reports of

obliteratina Class Distinctions.

Modern and cultured persons, | be-
lieve, object to their children seeing
kitchen company or being taught by a
woman like Peggotty. But surely it is
more important to be educated in a
sense of human dignity and equality
than in anything else in the world.
And child who has once had to re-
spect kind and capable woman of the
lower classes will respect the lower
classes forever. The true way to over
come the evil in class distinctions is not
to denounce them as revolutionists de-
nounce them but to ignore them as chill
dren ignore them.-G. X. Chesterton.

A Defect In hiaher Education

1t must be said that the higher ed
ucation of the United States Is at pres
ent in a condition where it may read
lily drop backward rather than improve.
The college student of today and in
some cases even the university student
is permitted to sprawl over so large
and so varied an area Of intellectual
interest that he loses the discipline in
concentration in hard work. and in
the mastery of some relatively small
field that comes from pursuing a bet
ter and older method. There is Just
now, however marked tendency
among the better colleges to aid and
to guide the student toward concentrat-
ing his interests and his energies upon
a small group Of subjects that have
some common center Of interest and
some well marked relationship. This
movement is a sound and hopeful one
and should be encouraged and aided

ion.

An Incident Of the Landing Of Our Ma

rines In Vera Cruz.
Uncle Sans marines know how to
handle a rife; so per cent Of the force
are qualified, listed shots. There is a
story about the occupation of Vera
Cruz that tells of good shooting and a
sure eye. Our bluejackets were march
ing up the street from the Plaza be-
tween rows Of low two story houses.
"A well dressed Mexican gentleman,
with newspaper over his knee, was
sitting on the balcony of his house, ap-
parently intent on watching our sailors
advance. but hidden under the paper
he held a big revolver, and as our men
went by he fired. The bullets were
striking, but our officers could hardly
suspect well dressed Mexican, read
ing a paper and looking peacefully on
from his own house, of being the
sniper.
Dropping his paper the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the gllnt or
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback
in the Plaza, a thousand or more yards
away. Through his eight power field
glass the colonel saw plainly the flash
of the shots under the newspaper.
Get him." he said, turning to his or
derly.
The man raised his rife, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out of his
chair.-Henry Reuterdahl in Youths
Companion.
