Light and Thought.

Not all thought is travelling. The
supposition that when one thinks OF
the moon ones thought travels to the
moon Is a mistake, for the thought Is
formed in the mind and remains there.
The time taken to "think of anything"
declares a writer, occupies some
small fraction of second. Light
travels" at the rate of about 10000
miles a second, and If 1t is thought
which travels In what is called tele-
pathy It would have to travel at the
same speed because ether, the medium
which transmits light, would also
transmit the brain vibrations that ac-
company thought. The telepathic the
ory of ''thought which travels has
been objected to on the ground that
after travelling considerable distances,
such as are sometimes claimed for
telepathic communication, the brain
vibrations would be so diffused and
weakened as to make no impression.

SALVAGE SHIPS WITH FLOATS
Sunken Vessels May Be Brought to
Surface by New collapsIbIe De.
vice Recently Invented.

A novel method Of salvaging sunken
ships has been devised by DR.. Sylvio
Pellico Portella, of Rio de Janeiro,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
The invention consists of specially
built tender which carries collapsible
floats made Of waterproof material.
The floats occupy very little space un-
til they are put into use and inflated.
They are constructed in such man.
ner that they will assume number
of different shapes when they are in
fated.
Taken down to the wreck by divers,
they are attached to the vessel both
inside and outside and are connected
with the tender by lines Of hose. When
In place they are inflated by air pres
sure from the tender. AS they swell,
they displace the water from within
as well as from without, and their
buoyancy causes the wreck to float up
ward to the surface.

Cactus Candy.

Louisiana sugar cane planters have
evolved a plan for manufacturing
candy from the spineless cactus. In
the process the peel Of the plant is
removed. dipped into hot molasses
and coated with granulated or pow
dered sugar. The result is a confec-
ton of rich and delicious flavor.
So successful have been the expert
ments with the new sweet that cane
planters are now growing cactus,
which formerly was utilized when
used at all, for cattle fodder. Planters
can In this way furnish plenty of raw
material for the new product.
Another important result In the
making of what some enterprising ad-
vertiser may call ''kaktus-kandy, "
says an exchange, is that sugar mills
which have heretofore been idle for
nine months in the year can now use
part Of their equipment in the candy
manufacturing industry.

NEITHER PENCIL NOR PEN
Writing implement, Made Of Mixture
Of Wax and Ground Pumice
Stone, Recent Invention.

A writing implement composed of a
mixture of wax and finely ground pu-
mice stone containing particles of Ink
has been invented by William @. Geer
of Akron, o.. to take the place of ordi-
nary and fountain pens, pencils, cray
ons and all other writing implements,
say the Popular Science Monthly. AS
the body of the new writing device Is
composed Of mixture of wax and
pumice stone, which is easily worn
away when rubbed against paper
surface, the inventor claims that the
cells Of ink intermixed with the wax
and pumice stone will also be liber-
ated, giving a uniform supply of ink.
The device is made by mixing the
wax, pumice stone and Ink together.
When It is heated to the proper tenn
perature 1t is suddenly immersed in
cold water. This chills and solidifies
the wax mixture, producing body
having a cellular structure, each cell

SUGAR Acreaue in India.

British India's sugar cane acreage
is from 6 to 10 per cent larger, accord
ing to the second official crop estimate
for 1918. This forecast is based on
reports furnished by provinces that
contain 90 per cent of the sugar area
of India, and these reports indicate an
acreage for the crop of 2,565,OO0, as
against an estimated 2.340000 acres at
the corresponding date year ago, an
increase of 10 per cent. AS compared
with the final estimate (2,414,OO0
acres) for 1861, the present estimate
shows an Increase of per cent.
The Indian Trade Journal states
that, while the crop was affected to a
certain extent by heavy rain and floods
in low-lying areas in parts of the Unit
ed Provinces, the Punjab and Bengal,
and by disease and insect pests In
some Of the eastern districts of the
United Provinces, the prospects of the
crop, on the whole, are good.

HAPPIEsT PERIOD OF LIFE
Generation That Really Knows What
Gladness Is Has Not Been Born,
Asserts Church Paper.

Some sage has arisen to remark
that human life up to about fifty years
ago was not worth living-that only
the inventions and institutions of the
last half century have made life bear
able.
Unfortunately, there is no way accu-
rately to gauge the degree of happi-
ness of any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can know for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is the
best that is attainable to us, and lucky
is he who gets his share of it.
Happiness. like health, is known to
us chiefly through its opposite. Health
is known through disease and pain,
and happiness through disappoint-
ment and misery.
The masses of mankind, until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes of centuries are finding ut
terance in the free speech of our day.
The wall may cause the unthinking
to suppose that the sun Of human
happiness is suddenly obscured. But,
to the contrary, the remedies follow
ing the better understanding of wrong
conditions steadily improve the con-
ditions under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear Of wrongs, the fewer wrongs we
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about it
until doomsday, and no doubt they
will; but the age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe is the
one that has been longest dead, and
the generation that really knows what
happiness is and can realize its full
possession is a long time yet unborn.

WHEN YOUR OWNS IN KHAKI
Army Takes on an Entirely New Az
pect to Relatives and Friends Of
Enlisted Men.

It makes all the difference In the
world when your owns in uniform, OBJ
serves the Columbus Dispatch. You
may think you have proper apprecia-
tion of the soldiers; you may feel that
you are patriotic; you may suppose
that you are doing all you can to help
win the war. But you will know moth
ing about appreciating a soldier, or
about patriotism, or about sacrifice,
until one Of your own puts on uni
form.
All of which Is suggested by little
incident of recent football game at
the university, when the soldiers were
drilling. Few noticed it-for 1t was
not intended to be noticed-but the
few who did notice 1t grew mellow and
sympathetic, and left the grounds feel
ing that the world does not realize the
human suffering that is endured by
the women of this country at this time.
A woman sat In one Of the lower
priced seats. She came unattended.
No one seemed to pay any attention to
her. She was dressed demurely, with
a dark veil about her eyes. She knew
nothing about football; that was not
what she went out to the grounds to
see. Her eyes were fastened upon the
uniforms; that was her object-to be-
hold the boys In khaki. And she sat
there while they were going through
their drill, and wiped tear from her
eye occasionally, and her bosom heaved
with emotion. and she spoke to no one
about her. When the soldiers left the
field she also left, unnoticed by the
throng.
Her own boy wears uniform. That
was the sorrowful secret which she
held. He Is somewhere in France" !"
She knew none of these boys before
her, but her own wears a uniform !;
that was enough. And SO she sat there,
thinking, praying, sympathizing, loving
these lads who are clad as her boy Is
clad. 1t was esgraaats asa : "a 4 rtin1eft Of

TRACTORS, USE IN SCOTLAND
American Machine Is Popular Among
Larger Farmers--Demand Is In
/ Excess Of supply.

The use of tractors in Scotland for
farming purposes has increased re-
markably during the past two years,
and the present demand Is far In ex-
cess of the supply, writes Vice Consul
e. r. Pottle, Dundee. The very high
prices and costly upkeep Of farm
horses, added to the heavier expenses
for labor, have compelled the larger
farmers to be on the lookout for the
best type Of utility tractor.
The necessary points seem to be-:
Sufficient power with reserve; ];
strength and simplicity of construc-
tion; ability to run on common paraffin
with economical consumption; capa-
BILE of being operated by one
man; toughness and durability of
parts; easy adjustment; and abil-
ity to pull harrows, rollers, cultiva-
tors, ETC., over broken ground.
A local farmers association has
stated that it would be difficult for
any other class of farmers than those
cultivating more than $50 acres to
make use economically of tractors, un-
less the smaller farmers can combine
to use one tractor among several Of
them.
There is no doubt that tractors have
come to stay, and it is only question
Of a short time until a hiring system
will be found which will work con-
veniently and economically in much
tho Same wav as in thrashing Sew
eral American tractors already are on
the Scottish market, In limited num-
bers on account of import restrictions,
but experience has given the Scottish
farmer great confidence in any Ameri-
can make Of farm machinery, and
doubtless there will be great demand
for American tractors after the war.

WAY They Have In the Army.

! You begin to learn that the army
has ways of it's own, and that It's ways
are not civilian ways, pretty soon after
you get into it, observes a writer In
the Saturday Evening Post. Orders
that must be obeyed without question
and without delay, telling you to do
things that you have never done be-
fore, and don't know why you are do
ing now, always make civilian gasp
q little at first. You discover that to
question and to seek to discover the
motive and ultimate aim Of any order
Hhat you do not understand Is purely
lfnstinctive. You ask yourself quite
automatically: "Why should / de
