Evolution of the Lamp.

Dr. Walter Clark of Philadelphia has recently made some interesting in- yestgations to find out how the old time lighting conditions in his city compare with those of today, says the Popular Science Monthly. He has dis covered that until as late as 1885, only fiickering sperm oil and candles were in use. Not until the following decade did the. highly improved" kerosene lamp appear Gas did not come out until the period between 1865 and 1875. And then only the wealthy could use it. It sold at S2.5o per thousand cubic feet The efficient Welsbach mantle came out ten years later, revolutioniz- ing artificial illumination. The pres ent era began in 1895. when gas and electricity came into general use-gas selling at $1 per thousand cubic feet and electricity at 10 cents per kilo- watt hour. Since that time the gas mantle and the electric filament have seen vast Improvements. so that today the average family is obtaining about eighteen times as much light us tie people of half century ago.

PRACTICAL USE OF POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About Isolated From Each Other by
 Chaos of Misunderstanding.

If poetry could be in an instant swept not merely out of print. but out of language and tradition. there would be Babel indeed. We should go about isolated each one rom each by chaos of misunderstanding. with no more communication than We could improvise out of intellectual terms, says writer in Century Magazine. We could suggest nothing connote nothing. say nothing but what We could define. The practical reality of that loss one may measure by our proverbial ignorance of certain say ages and oriental races whose poetry Is alien 10 our own. Nor Is that all for poetry is not alone our common repository of past experience, but to degree far greater than we realize our source of present action. There is no need more than to remind any observer of human nature that man. kind acts rather upon passion than upon conviction. Brutus demonstrated his point in prose; it was poetic ap- peal that made the stones Of Rome 10 rise and mutiny. We define and de termine and decide, and still do noth- ing; but when We begin to feel, soma- thing is d0ue.

Temperament of Camels.

Bearing an innate grudge against all restraint and all who restrain him, the camel will use the great strength of his long legs to kick his keepers or the dogs which guard him in the waste places. but in the presence of enc mics. among wolves or other beasts of prey. he is coward forgets the very use of his legs and proves his cratic temper by screaming and spit ting in terror. No camel wants to be loved, and no one familiar with camels ever entertains the least affection for them. They make savages of what ever people breeds them. The man who owns and uses eamels cannot live in a city, he cannot travel the highways through cultivated country, he cannot have a permanent abiding place. He IS doomed to live in deserts and arid grassands. to follow the paths that are lined with evergreen thorns. tama- risks and bitter weeds to drink the saline water that his evil tempered beasts prefer and to avoid the haunts of men and horses ns the horseman circles the deserts. says Rodney Gil. bert in Asia.

Why Soldiers Believe in Future Life.

One of the prize winners in the con test, "Why Believe in Future Life,' held by the American Magazine. says in the February issue:
 "'Weedy (his miserable corruption of Louis), if I don't come back, will we see each other again-some dayT
 .I could only nod my head.
 "'Why? he asked.
 "'Why do you think so?' was my reply.
 "'Because I know that God doesn't forget people Weedy. Life isn't dreams and we aren't born to live as in- completely as this world lets us and have that end 1t all. Some duffer who doesn't know me isn't going to try to blow me up, and I'm not going to try and beat him at It when we might be good friends if we lived next door to each other. and let that end 1t all. The future is long and full of hone and chances to he better men and do bigger things. Perhaps, Weedy, YOU and I won't get to do as We plan; hut let's not feel sad. for something tells me that if we do our best in the hard days to come the great future will be beautiful for us and we shall meet again.

ANIMALS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Polar Bear. Who Passes His Time in Icy Waters, Is Regarded Best,
 Though Not Swiftest.

Nearly all animals are better swiIn- mers than man and take to the water naturally. The rhinoceros and hippo potamus are wonderful swimmers and divers, while the Indian elephant crosses great rivers with heavy loads, London Tit-Bits states.
 The elk and the reindeer are first class swimmers. The elk keeps his head above water and crosses directly from bank to bank to avoid turning The reindeer. on the other hand, turns as often as he likes, keeping his head only little above the surface. But of all swimmers Of all climes the best. though not the swiftest, Is the polar bear, who passes half his time in the water swimming and diving. Ills swimming power is nothing short of miraculous If It be remembered that the water in the regions he frequents is invariably cold and that cold Is nor mally prohibltiye to good swimming. There are bears that can swim from twenty-five to thirty miles without great effort.
 One of the swiftest swimming aHi- malls is the squirrel. A sportsman on one occasion. having at hand squir- rel born in captivity, which had never seen water, wanted to see If 1t could swim and took il with him in row boat to the center of the lake. The squirrel turned toward the bank. head and paws above the water. back and tail underneath 1t. and began to swim so rapidly that 1t was with the great est difficulty that the man recovered 1t when 1t reached the shallow water npar thp land
