Her influence Is Probably Creates
Than In Any Other Country
Of the World.

The greatness of France lies in her
sense of the beauty and Importance
of living. As life is an art in France.
so woman Is an artist. She does not
teach man, but she inspires him. And
as the French woman Of the bread-win-
ming class influences her husband, and
he regards her Judgment and her
wishes, the same Is similarly true Of
the French woman OF the rich and ed
ucated class. the French woman If
leisure. But In this world her influ-
ence naturally tends much farther.
The more civilized a society is the
wider Is the range of each woman's
influence over men. and Of each mans
influence over women. Intelligent and
cultivated people of either sex will not
limit themselves TO cOmmuning with
their own households. Men and wom-
zen equally. when they have the range
Of interests that real cultivation gives,
need the stimulus Of different points
Of view, the refreShment Of new ideas
as well as Of new faces.
No one who has seen French woEl-
en- can doubt that their great influence
on French life, French thought. French
Imagination and French sensibility is
one nf the strongest elements in the
attitude France holds before the

Noah's Ark in China.

A curious Chinese picture is of great
antiquity. and is supposed to repre-
sent NOah's ark on the top of Mount
Ararat. AS is well known, the re-
ligiOus literature of almost every ma
ton and race contains an account of a
deluge, but a Chinese manuscript re-
Gently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded in the Bible.
II is particularly interesting in that
the roof of the Chinese ark is of the
gable variety associated with the
NOah's arks which prove such enter
tanning toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture. however, shows a dOu-
ble-stOried vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in the
roof, there are windows in every pos
Sible space. 1t would be interesting
if some Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date Of the
drawing.

Protection for Birds,

Some twenty states of the Union
have provided bird Sanctuaries, or
laws for the protection of migratory
birds on their long flights in search
of feeding places. The matter has
even been made the subject of an in
ternatiOnal treaty between the United
States and Canada affecting practi-
cally all birds that regularly migrate
between the two countries. The
treaty provides, in effect, that no bird
important to agriculture because of
misunderstanding prOclivities shall be
shot at any time. Second, that no
open game season on any Species of
game shall extend for a longer period
than 81 months. Third, that both
the countries shall so restrict open
seasons on game birds as to prevent
them from being taken during the
breeding season.

Merchant Bar.

Merchant bar. or merchant iron. IS

by passing through The merchant rolls.
Puddled bars are worked into mer-
chant iron or Merchant bar by being
cut into pieces of suitable length,

Historian Of the sky" was the title
bestowed on Angelo Secchi, the IA.
nous Italian astronomer. A quaint
little aneSdOte is told of him mt the
time Of his first visit TO London. Not

fided his doubts to his young cOmpan-

they decided that the best plan would
be to go and look for an Italian. "Our

chi, and went straight for the British

CITY IN BEAUTIFUL SETTING
First Sight Of constantinopIe Cannot
Fail to Impress Even the Most
Satiated Globe Trotter.

However many descriptions Of Con-

with a feeling almost of establishment
at the sheer beauty of the place.

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to Be
the Best Backing That Can
Be Employed.

The electrician is frequently re-
Quired, in the installation of wires in
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the plaStered walls
or ceilings. Before these holes can be
replaStered some sort of backing must
be put in which will take the place Of
the lath. The majority of men make
use of old rags or paper for this pur-
pose.
The writer, i'm replastering holes,
uses backing of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about One-quar-
ter inch larger than the hole to be
filled. and when pressed into ii will be
found to make good, stfff backing, as
the edges hold it firmly in place. Far
less plaster will he necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost of the wire screen,
and a more workmanlike and durable
job is ohtaiued.-W. F. Perry, in Elec-

The rats Of Norway employ a re-

%SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago in
Plot Which Involved Existence
Of Sparta.

The origin Of the phrase sub rosa,
under the rose" implies secrecy, and
had its origin in the year AZ Il. c., at
which time PausaniaS, the commander
of the confederate fleet of the Spar
tans and AthenianS, was engaged i'm
intrigueS with XerXeS for the Subju-
CATION of Greece TO the Persian rule,
and for the hand of the mOnarch's
daughter in marriage. The negOtia-
tons were carried on in a building
attached TO the temple of Minerva,
called the Brazen house. the roof of
which was II garden forming a bower
of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy,
was literally matured under the roses.
PauSaniaS, however, was betrayed by
one of his emiSSaries, who, by a pre-
concerted plan with the Overseers and
cOunSelOrs of state, five in number,
gave them a secret opportunity to
hear from the lips of PauSanias the
Acknowledgements of his treason. To
escape arrest. he fled to the temple
OF Minerva, and as the sanctity of the
place forbade Intrusion, the people
walled up the eGifice so that he might
die of starvation.

AIM SHOULD Be PERFECTION
Man Who Is Satisfied With Nothing
but the Best Is Man Who Will

Don't get intoi the "that's-gOOd-

SlOvenly habits of mind and hand
grow faster than good habits. A slip
shOd manner of thinking results in
slipshOd methods of work.
You will never become efficient in
any one thing till you get it firmly
fixed in your mind that If another can
do it better than you you are not do
ing well.
ThOrOughneSs and accuracy play a
big part in the success or failure of
the individual.
You may be artistic and tempera-
mental and dreamy, but you will never
realize your dreams till you get down
to brass tacks and do what you do
with precision and dispatch.
There is plenty Of time TO exercise
your artistic moods after you have
learned all there is to know of the
mechanical and fundamental prin-
cipleS of the work or accomplishment
you think you were out to do.

Little New in Warfare.

The use Of asphyxiating gas Is a
very ancient device. Smoking out the
enemy was one of the regular maneu-
vers of war in antiquity, says the Sci
entific Monthly. POlybius relates that
at the siege of Ambracia by the RO-
mans under Marius Fulvius NObilOr
Oh. c. 1S9) the AetOlians filed jars
with feathers, which they set on fire,
blowing tire smoke with bellows into
the faces of the Romans in the cOun-
termines. At the great naval battle
fought in the waters of POnZa between
Alfonso Of AragOn and Genoa in 143J
the GenOeSe carried vessels filed with
quicklime and redhOt cinderS. the
smoke from which was blown by the
wind against the enemy. Leonardo da
Vinci. who among his many other &C
cOmpliShmentS was notable military
engineer, suggested the use of poison
Gus powders. such as yellow arsenic
and verdigris, to be thrown from the
topmasts of ships so as To choke the
enemy. This formed n part of the
war instructions given by Leonardo To
the republic of Venice in 1899. when
the Turks had passed the IsOnZO and

When Alchemy FIourished.

The cult Of alchemy was At its zenith
during the fourteenth. fifteenth. and
sixteenth centuries. holding the place
with many that religion did with 9TH

existence of the philosophers stone,
and pinned their faith TO its potency
10 an incredible extent. II was, of
course. in the great majority Of cases,
simply a matter Of suggestion accept
ed by those who were on the outlook
for the means of increasing wealth
And there were many who drew no
distinction between the philosophers
stone. which was supposed to have
the power of transmitting the base into
the noble metals, and what was called
the elixir of life, a substance which
would promote and preserve health
and Increase longevity. Thus the APP

FOOD FOR ALL THE WORLD
No Fear Of Starvation While the 5a-

Wonderful ProdigaIity.

Concerning the value of banana -four
there is no possible question. Henry
NJ. Stanley, while he was in Darkest
Africa, tested that matter thoroughly.
For something like two years il was
one of the staple foods on which he
lived, and his testimony regarding il
is both clear and convincing, though
the flour he had was made in the most
primitive fashion, by the natives
among whom he was living. and was
not comparable, save I'm the single
particular of cost. with the flour that
has been produced and is being pro-
duced today in New York city.
The worlds available supply of ba-
nanas is practically inexhaustible.
Growing wild as the banana does with
all the excessive prodigality of trOp-
ical vegetation. in localities far out
side the ken of civilization. there is
no way of estimating the possible ex-
tent of the annual crop, but IL may be
said that enough bananas TO feed the
world grow somewhere each year.
Moreover, modern science has dis
covered the methods by which this
banana flour can be made of the par
tally ripe fruit in such fashion that
it will keep almost Indefinitely almost
anywhere.
