IDEAS CURIOUS AND POETIC
Remarkable Beliefs That Have Been
Firmly lnsrained Into the Chill
dren of Siam.

Mr.. Ernest Young, who went to Siam
to organize the educational system,
related at London recently some Gu
rious beliefs held by the children there.
He explained that he had experienced
considerable difficulty in teaching them
the rudiments of science, They be-
lieved that the earth was fiat because
the priest had told them so. 1t was
also the impression of these children
that a big crab went down into the
sea and made the tide flow, and when
the crab came up for fresh air the
tide ebbed, When the gods became
angry rolling thunder was heard, and
when the angels got sporty and struck
fire out of bricks, summer lightning
flashes were seen. When many angels
got. into the bath at the same time
water ran over the side and 1t rained.
Directly Mr.. Young entered school
the children Frustrated themselves be-
core him, and the only way they could
be induced to abandon this practice
was to tell them that English children
lid not do that. They would do any
Thing English children We're said to
do. They were awful liars, but when
told that the English boy was truthful
they gave up the habit.

High-Speed Telegraphy.

An apparatus which in actual tests
has proved its ability to transmit over
a single grounded wire 5000 words a

significance of this escapes one until it
is realized that 5000 words set in
type will fill seven and Il half stand

ment that has never before been asso-
ciated with telegraphy. Messages are

DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT
Great French Colonial Territory In
North Africa Seems to Hold Out
Little Promise.

Wadaf was the last point of colonial
ropean struggle drew their energies
and attention homeward. The great
African territory was added to the
French Kongo only short time before
the War broke out.
Very few white people have actually
visited Wadai, but tales of the region
are numerous both in upper Egypt and
in Tripoli. Occasionally some Of the in
habitants of the lfttle-known region
can be seen in the bazaars of Khartum
or Algiers.s Wadai lies at the
head of caravan routes that cross the
desert both from the Mediterranean
and the Nle 1t bears bad reputa.
ton, even for North Africa.
It Is known as one Of the last strong
holds and sources Of supply Of thu
slave trade. Its people are divided
into conquerors and conquered-the
former belonging to a powerful ma
tive tribe that holds the Mohammed
an faith and the latter including all
manner of very primitive savages. Up
to very recent times these savage peo-
pie are known to have been captured
and sold as slaves along the Barbary
coast. The French only established n
protectorate in 1912. so that they had
little opportunity TO break up the
trade before the European war.
In physical appearance Wadai is de-
scribed by the caravan men as vast
low-lying plain. Great tracts of 1t have
never been explored. 1t seems to have
once formed the bed of a great inlants
sea, of which Lake Chad, in the south
west. is the Shriveled remnant. In
fact the Sahara is steadily encreach-
ing on it from the nOrthward. 1t is
crossed by the old channels of several
rivers, but without a single flowing
stream. At no very remote geologic
epoch of the future Wadai will appar-
emily become part Of the great des-
prt to the north.

CURE FOR LITTLE AILMENTS
Real Trouble Can Usually Be Depend
ed On to Make One Forget
the Smaller Ones.

Man and animals alike, it's wonder
full what shock will do to heal our
errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill in
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and in his younger days he
was some argufer, as his scars attest.
Here is the case of the blind man in
San Rafael, Cal, who fell 40 feet off
the roof of his house, and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of us have troubles that are
only in our minds; when we are fed
little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps. an opening
for sanitarium that will take Grip
pie or an invalid and throw him off a
cliff, or crack him over the head with
Il brick or 4 crOwbar-anything to wake
him up. make him forget his small
worries, and heal his diseased mind.

WHY WOMEN GET THEIR WAY.
Prominent Characteristic of the Sex,
as Most Married Men Know, Is
Their Determination.

The main difference between men
and women is nowhere so marked as
it is in the distinction between char
acter and ability.
A mans ability is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character In a man the two things
appear to be entirely independent Of
pne another.
But woman'S character is deter
mined by her ability, and her ability
IS determined by her character In
reality, therefore, women are much
more simple than men, although they
10 not appear to be so. Women are
they offer more superficial variety.
But closer observation and association
lmOng them tend to make them more
alike.
Men, on the other hand, grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better. This is because their abilities
and characters being unrelated and the
nroportionate measure of each subject

constantly being presented. The va
'iouS things which go to make up the
motive power of woman. on the other
land, are more closely related. Wom-

That explains why, if Il woman wants

When man wants a thing he plans

mind and will. When q woman wants

she gets it much more often than the

ANOTHER SAD SIDE OF WAR
Many Men WHO Have Won Honors
Have Lost Comrades and Feel
Lack of Companionship.

An American was sitting in Simpsons
restaurant recently having dinner when
a hardy man in Canadian uniform
started to converse with him. The
Canadian was working in large
automobile factory in Windsor when
the war started, but enlisted in a
Canadian regiment and has been in
i've of the worst battles of the war.
Hardly q handful of the men who
started with him are still on the roster.
This particular soldier was about to
leave for the trenches again after COM
pleting his leave. There was nothing
remarkable In that, but this is his
story:
Inside his coat he wore the Victoria
Cross. He got it at Ypres, where he
carried captain three hundred feet
through No Mans Land with bullets
flying all about him. He has no ac-
quaintances in England. He hasn't a
relative In the world He was just
hungering for some one to talk to
when he saw the American. He re-
iuctantly showed his decoration, and
said 1t would give him great happiness
if he had some one somewhere in the
world who was close enough to him t'
slap him on the back and say, Good
Old chap"

Music a War Horror.

A grim story is told of an air raid GA
Paris. If its truth were not vouched
for by the most respectable authority
one would say that it was an invention
of De Maupassant In his most maeabre
vein. While the work of rescue was
going on by candle light in one Of the
houses which had suffered most the
crowd was suddenly Mortified by the
defiant notes of the "Rakoczy March,"
blared out apparently by strong brass
band. Every one was aghast at so
brutal an insult till the tenant of
fiat on an upper floor said that he had
an orchestrion which played that par
tfcular tune. The explosion must have
set it in motion. At the risk of their
lives some firemen managed to reach
the machine, but in the dark, and not
knowing about its mechanism, they
could not stop it. 1t went on TIL the

bic for Development of Most Fa-

The most successful fighting air.
plane in the world today is without
question the Spad. 1t was, of course,
the mount of the late Captain Guyne-

counted for SO machines before being
shot down last September just behind
the German front line. The most pro-
