this with the fact that by making IT,
hollow the hulk Of an object can be
increased without increasing its
weight. and then understanding the

IT'S EASIER TO SAY THAN TO DO

Ut = EASIER TO SAY THAN TO DO
When you are TO take part in any
sort of public meeting, do you get
so excited when it comes your turn
that your head swims and you can't
remember a word of what you wish
to say?
Do you rush in headlong. rise in
stantly when you are called upon,
and then stutter and stammer and
founder around before you collect
your wits enough to make a coher-
ent statement or keep your SEN
fences tracking right?
Instead, why don't you figure on
what you would say if you should be
called upon unexpectedly on any
particular occasion?
Why don't you ask yourself how
So-and-so's address or talk or APP
Pearance in public could have been
improved upon if you had had your
way but don't make the mistake of
voicing a criticism till you have
tried TO do the same thing.
1t is a lot easier TO tell how a GER
tain thing should have been done
than 10 do it yourself.
Many a man or woman blunders
and makes mistakes when before the
public which they themselves recog-
nize, but when it is too late.
Be severely critical where you are
concerned yourself but let your rec
ignition of others mistakes be only
enough 10 help you avoid the same.

KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY
INHAIING NAPORUB.

Colds irritate the Inning OF the ar
passages and thus render them a
much better breeding place for the
germs. At the hrst signs Of a cold
use VapORub at once. Melt a little
in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or VapoRub can be used in
a regular benzoin steam kettle. such
as most druggists carry in stock. II
this is not available, very good

What makes a steel or concrete
vessel float? OF course, everybody
knows that they float. but 1 am sure
that, like myself, there are many
who do not know why they float.
L. NJ. A
The great fault of our system of
education is it's failure to implant
fundamental ideas. School pupils are
given chilly fragments of informa-
ton instead Of the keys of knowl-
edge. I doubt. whether there is a
teacher in the United States who
ever thought of explaining to his
scholars why any kind OF a ship
floats. That seems TO be regarded
as something which explains itself;
everybody can see that ships do
float, the fact is established, then
why waste words about it?
Yet, 1t is by inquiring into the
reasons of the simplest things that
science makes its advances. Prob
ably the reason why such explana-
tions as that suggested above are
not given 70 school children is be-
cause the children never ask for
them. But it is precisely one OF the
most important Of the teachers
duties 10 make children ask ques-
tions and to suggest question to
their minds. for the deepest igno-
rance is that which is due 10 indif-
ference and lack Of thought.

GERMANY,S DEATH THROES.

Writing in the Paris Figaro. Alfred Capus says:
How much longer can isolated Germany
withstand the formidable recon of the
caused? The main is that now there is
none, not Germany herself who doubts
that her hours numbered. IL remains for
to be prepared for her last convulsive effort
without allowing the frightful spectacle to
arouse any pit" Who would dare to urge that
the enormity of her crime should profit the
criminal?"
1t is timely advice. If tempted to be over
merciful, let remember that these the death
throes not of nation. but only of empire The peo-
pie will survive. And if it is urged that Germany de-
consideration from brave foes because she
has made such a great fight" let re-read Capus

But IN so doing you are making
a very great mistake. The true rea-
son why a ship floats is not because
II is made OF a material intrinsically
lighter than water. but because IL is
made in such a form that, taken as
a whole, II is lighter than a quantity
OF water equal TO its entire bulk or
volume would be. Even a wooden
ship is not intrinsically lighter than
water. for If it were II could defy

Suppose that Newton when hit
on the head by the falling apple
had not asked himself why il fell.
but had been content. like every
body around him. to take the fall
of the apple as a fact of nature, a
way she had that needed no eX-

call this high witness to the
utility of seeking the causes and
the reasons Of the commonest phe-
nomena. And now, to go back to
the question. why does a steel or
concrete vessel float? The question
itself points out the source OF the
puzzlement in the asker's mind. He
does not wonder why a wooden ship
floats. for that appears too simple
a matter TO need explanation. 1T

cause it is lighter than water. Of
course, 7 can see that; but steel and
concrete are heavier than water,
then why don't such ships sink?"
Now. stop a moment and analyze
that statement. Precisely what is at
the back OF your mind when you
say that a ship floats because II is
lighter than water? Evidently you
are thinking Of the comparative
weight of the material Of which the
ship Is composed, and knowing that
wood will float you are not surprised
that a vessel made OF such material
should likewise float; but when you
I turn to steel or concrete, knowing
| that those materials will not float,
you are puzzled TO understand why
vessel made OF them nevertheless
does float In other words you
