Felix Martzen met with "A terrible

preparing to build a brick flue in Jake
Captein s plumbing shop and was get
ting 20-gallon key of lime ready for
the gravel and sand. After putting "a
quantity of water in the lime, it heat
ed more readily than was expected.
Felix placed the key on the sidewalk

stirring the lime with a stick. When
the air reached the hot part of it, at
the bottom, a terrific explosion resulted,

the man squarely in the face and
Knocking him down. The explosion was
of such force as to throw the lime'thirty
feet in the air and covering the fronts
of several buildings.
Instantly Felix realized his terrible
plight and covered his face with snow

Uncertainty of Opinion,

Don't be sure of your opinion. It Is
the verdict of few facts and yet
there are thousands of facts that give
no assistance in forming it. If there
were no other proof Of the uncertainty
of opinion, the fact that 1t causes so
much dispute Is sufficient. Truth
causes no dispute. Think of two men
quarreling over two and two make
four, action and recreation are equal,
water seeks it's own level, or the gold
en- rule. Men can love one another on
the platform of truth, but as soon as
they make platform of opinion they
are at swords points. 1t Is so in re-
ligion, politics, industry, society.
There Is no true faith in anything
that is not based on love. When we
see men quarreling about religion they
are the devils own agents. They will
never get truth that way. Truth
comes through the heart. The three
things that combine in God are faith,
truth, love, and the greatest of these
Is love, for without it the other two
are impossible. When 1t makes you
mad to have someone differ with you,
go off and pray for forgiveness.-Col.

Travel In Corea,

A Baldwin locomotive, built In
Philadelphia, whisked us through the
green hills and past the quaint thou
sand-year-old villages of Corea. 1t
was odd to see the white-swaddled
Coreans, with their bare feet and fly
trap hats, riding in this most modern
Of trains. We fled at 40 miles an hour
over rails where few years ago these
same COreans doubtless joggled dom
keyback at 20 miles a day.
Any American road, says the Chris
tian Herald, would have been proud
of the dinner on that train. 1t was
vastly better than the dinners on the
roads in Japan. The tiffin Quncheon)
was table d'hote and cost only one yen
$50 cents). 1t comprised seven
courses, and it's main features, relieved
of their French disguises, were soup,
fish, chicken salad, beefsteak, brown
potatoes, succotash, ice cream and lady
fingers, apples, oranges, bananas and
coffee. Plenty Of everything and ev-
erything good. Electric bell at every
table. Speedy service. Eternal polite
ness.
And If this were not enough, Ice
cream and waters were served at 3
p. m.! That was the last straw.

Monks Most Precious Relic.

The relic which the monastery of the
Greek church of Vatopethi on Mount
Athos cherishes most tenderly is the
girdle of the Virgin Mary. The monks
give categorical history of 1t from
the presentation by the Queen of
Heaven to the doubling Thomas until
its recovery during the Greek revolu-
tion from European consul, to whom
the Turks had sold 1t.
If the earlier stages of the story are
involved in some obscurity, the last six
or seven hundred years of 1t are un-
questionable. The girdle has now been
divided into three parts, one of which
is never allowed to leave Vatopethi.
1t occupies little domed chapel in
the courtyard. The other two parts
often 60 out on tour, especially when
invited by the faithful; and many are
the miracles reported to have been per-
formed by them.

Your Dreams and Your Health.

Scientific dream Interpretation helps
us to see ourselves as we really are,
gives us intimate glimpses of the sub
conscious as well as conscious desires,
fears and modes of thinking that enter
into the making of our character and
the shaping of our conduct.
The compilers of the gaudy little pa
per-covered dream books once so much
in vogue went, rightly enough, on the
theory that dreams are symbolic. But
they erred by assuming that they are
always symbolic of future events, and
that any particular dream element can
always be interpreted as symbolic OF
the same kind of future event.
Those who expect modern science to
provide them with a dream manual
akin to the old dream books, so that
everyone may become his own inter-
prefer at q glance, are consequently
doomed to disappointment. Accurate
dream Interpretation almost always
means time and effort. But it is well
worth the trouble it costs. All who
would discover unsupported weak
nesses and defects in themselves, who
would gain a maximum of health hap
piness and efficiency through right liv-
ing, will do well to seek to have their
dreams analyzed.
And it is not only for the light it
throws on ones nature and character
that scientific dream Interpretation Is
,,,or+l, y.b;1o There are dreams which,
rightly interpreted, throw light on the
state of the dreamer's physical health,
sometimes enabling action to be taken
that will avert serious disease. There
also are dreams which give valuable In
formation regarding people OF the
dreamer's acquaintance. There are
other Exceptional" dreams, needlessly
looked upon with superstitious awe by
MANY persons.-Mother's Magazine.

ECHO OF TITANIC DISASTER
Researches Of Ice Patrol Boats Have
Exploded Many Theories Held
in 1912.

After the loss of the giant White
Star liner Titanic in April, 1912, by
striking an iceberg, there was much dis
cussion in Europe and America as to
the possibility of adopting measures to
lessen the likelihood of such disasters
in the future, says P. Il. McGrath in
the American Review of Reviews. An
international conference for the saw
ing of life at sea-" which was held at
London, resulted, among other things,
in an undertaking by the principal ma
rine powers of the world to maintain
an ice patrol on the north Atlantic
from February to June in each year.
1t was agreed that this ice patrol
should be carried out by the United
States on behelf Of the various coun-
tries represented, the cost to be borne
by them pro rata, Britain to pay 25 per
cent of the total, Germany, France and
the United States Is per cent each and
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Italy, Holland, Norway, Russia and
Sweden from to 2 per cent each.
The American authorities inaugu-
rated this patrol service with the naval
scout cruisers Birmingham and Ches-
ter, but later assigned the revenue cut
ters Seneca and Miami to this duty,
which ships have since continued it.
The first season st. Johns was chosen
for the work, but ultimately 1t was
found more convenient to utilize Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, because the area
patrolled was south of st. Johns and
extended farther south as the season
advanced and the armadas of icebergs
became more numerous.
A theory exploded by the ice pa
troll ships is that the proximity of ice
is marked by q notable lowering of air
temperature. Experiments covering
three years have proved that such is
not the case, and that as rule there
Is little or no change in the temper
ature of the air near an iceberg. Equal
ly fallacious is the idea that the pres
ence of berg is denoted by lower
ing of the temperature of the water.
AS n matter of fact the very contrary
Is the case.
Other theories, as that echoes indi-
cate the presence of bergs, that Ice
discloses itself through what is known
as the 'ice blink" and that submarine
"ears" on ships will reveal the near
ness of ice by it's peculiar motion
through the waves have been proved
equally unfounded. In truth, the tes-
timony of the commanders of these pa
troll ships is that the only safe way to
navigate regions of icebergs is to stop
during thick weather and to run very
slowly on dark nights.

Electric Fact and Fancy.

The radioactive mind of Charles P.
Steinmetz does not lead him into ro-

present development of lighting sys-

sufficiently wonderful without q
startling innovation. Here, for in

Americans Like Noise.

OF all things which Americans de-

proof this matter of pianos and talk

Every workday there now comes
from American factories an even l,0OO
pianos and about 1,SOO talking ma

has not been entirely silenced by me-
chanical music.
Indeed, the value of pianos made
daily in our country is three and one
half times as great as the value OF
monographs, but the number of pia-
nos now turned out is smaller than 1t
was five years ago, while the number
of it's great rival has increased by half.
Uncle Sam tells us that two years
ago we paid $15.000000 for talking ma

which they played. No wonder talking

Mr.. SM0OTH'S NEAT GETAWAY
Insurance Agent With Keen Eye to
Business Came Near putting
His Foot in It."

Slipping on an untenanted banana
skin, the homely young woman sat
on the pavement with an unmusical
splash. With efficient presence of
mind, Eustace Smooth, agent for the
General and Particular Insurance com.
pany, slipped on another peel and sat
down beside her, with two muttered
curses.
Accidents will happen on the best
regulated pavements, won't they?' he
observed with snarl. "Oh, well,
luckily / happen to be an insurance
agent, and l can insure you against
slipping on banana peelings or even on
a cake of ice for the small sum of $14
week, and the first time you slip af-
ter being insured, one of our autOmO-
biles, with absolutely no advertising
matter on the outside, will take you
home for $7.29, or, If you prefer, to
any old hospital"
'The idea!' scoffed the enraged
woman, ''it's too much !"
"But think of the risk we rum" pur-
sued Smooth. "Now, other kinds of
insurance, such as insurance against
being bitten by wild beasts, come as
low as $40 MONTH"
"Ill take one of them," she said
promptly. 81 always was a great one
for bargains" And she handed him

CHANGES OF THIRTY YEARS

Man.

He left the little town 80 years ago,

with in sand piles and the midland
how they have changed.
Thirty years is brief span Of time.

you dispute the camera when you have

the lines and makes you look few

Opposed Decimal System.

Among the most determined oppo-
nents of the decimal system was, OF
course, Herbert Spencer. Some of his
most eloquent pamphlets were written
against it. So determined, indeed, was
he that nothing he could do to prevent
it's introduction should be left undone,
that he made a permanent provision
for reviewing the opposition whenever
1t might be necessary. He left instruc-
tions that his famous pamphlets should
be at once reprinted, whenever there
was any serious possibility of the au-
thorities being so far "led astray" as
to contemplate the adoption of the
system. His executors are, no doubt,
taking note Of the present renewed
