DOCTOR FITTED FOR LEADER
Much in knowledge of Medicine to
Equip Man for High Pub
lie Service

There is much in the knowledge OF
medicine to fit man for the high call
ing of lawgiver and leader of tha
people, says DR.. Frederick Peterson. IN
the Century. He continues:
ITO reach the goal of national
health, the physicians accumulated
knowledge and experience must be
brought to bear upon the laws which
relate TO fit marriages, to housing and
the food supply. to education. occupa-
tions, recreations, hygiene and SANTA
ton, to contagious diseases, alcohol
ism, poverty and crime; in short, upon
| every law which relates directly or in
directly to the health and well-being
of the people. His interest reaches
| into the depths of sociology, biology
and philosophy, to the relations be-
tween persons and groups, between ma
| tions and races. The interests of medi-
cine are fixed only by the boundaries
of life itself. When the great state,
with its great free municipalities is at
| length established, when war and pov-
erty and disease and unemployment,
as we know them, have been banished
to the vast rubbish heap of mans out
grown ignorance and folly, it may be
that the physicians of that nobler time
not only to insure individual health
| but to prevent the disease to which
the organism of the state, the body
polite, has in all earlier social stage,
been subject"

l can't say l had no misgivings as [
made my way to the theatre; GER
tainly 1 was going there more for dis
cipline than pleasure, but l had made
I'D my mind that was going there to
see it through.
The entrance to the theatre or beer
garden, for it was as much one as the
other, was on the side of the building
and was reached by way of an alley
which ran alongside. Near the door
was a ticket-seller's booth, but as this
was one of the free nights there was
no one in the booth.
1 marched slowly down the alley
initiating as best 1 could the indiffer-
ent gait of the Belgians, and when
entered the theater endeavored to act
as though I had been there many times
before A hasty survey of the layout
| of the place was sufficient to enable
me to select my seat. 1t was early and
there were not more than half dozen
people in the place at that time, so
| that I had my choice.
| There was a raised platform, per-
haps two feet high, all around the
walls of the place except at the end
where the stage was located. On this
| platform tables were arranged and

as well.

PRAYING PALM TREE DEAD
Used to PROSTATE itself in the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang.

The praying palm tree Of Faridpur,
about which certain interesting facts
were published, is dead. 1t may be
remembered that this tree used to pros
trate itself in the evening while the
temple bells rang, calling the people
TO prayer, and it erected its head In
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, to the bewilderment OF
thousands of Hindus, who naturally
came to look upon 1t as the abode of
some "devata" (god). Hundreds Of
fered pujahs to the unknown "devata," T"
which all went to fill the pockets OF
the owner of the tree. Miraculous
cures were reported as a result of pu-
jah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted
the attention Of Sir J. G. Bose, who,
after much difficulty, obtained permis-
sion OF the owner of the tree to inves-
| tigate the matter. He devised special
| instruments-all of swadeshi manufac-
ture-and began to take records. He
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise of temperature and rose with It's
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsus-
pected fact that all trees were moving
such movements being in response to
changes in their environment.
Sir J. c. Bose holds the opinion that
'the whole of the vegetable world, in
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes in their environment and re
spond to them by unmistakable signals
They thrill under light and become de
pressed by darkness; the warmth OF
summer and frost of winter, drought
and rain, these and many other hap
penings leave a subtle impression or
the life of the plant"

FIRST LESSON IN SWIMMING
coaxina Proving Unavailable, Mother
Muskrat Pushed Her Young Ones
From the Bank.

At the pool our attention was at
tracted by comical picture made by
an old muskrat trying to teach her
babies to swim. 1t struck me as
strange that she should go to such
trouble, the little rats should have
known instinctively how to navigate,
but they clung to the bank and to
the shallow water, above which
|, rose their fluffy backs, bright eyes
and sharp noses.
The mother set them the example
by swimming across and back. She
endeavored to coax, and finally she
pushed them over their depth and let
them make their way to the shore,
though you may be sure she stayed
close by. When we were seen the
old lady shrieked "Trampsl" In char
acteristic muskrat language and fed
to her sub-aquatic vestibule, I suppose
to call the police.
! The little ones did not attempt to
escape. Ostrichlike they hid their
heads among the roots and left their
naked tails waving above the water
like a new species of juncos waiting
to be examined The madam could
not quite ignore the material instinct,
as she returned and conducted her
happy family to the nursery, where
they received their first lesson in mis-
nthropy.-Forest and Stream.

DESTROYER HARD TO BEAT
Fierce Wasp of the Sea Is Slim Built
Loose, Timber and De-

that is their safety. There is no get
ting a fair wallop at them. They
evade the issue. One man compared
them to hot-water bottle. Try to
swat loaded hot-water bottle. What
happens? When you poke it in one
place doesn't it come bulging out in
another to make up for it? Sure it
does. writes James p. Connolly in Col
lier's.
How do you account for the de-
stroyer which had her stern cut off so
that the men in the after compartment
leaned out and chinned themselves up
to the deck from the inside? And how
do you account for the way they come
bouncing along at better than twenty
knots in a gale of wind and a rough
sea and nothing happening to them
Get shook up-yes, but they come
home don't they? They sure do. May
be it's the way they're thrown to
gether-loose and timber.
Whatever it is, they are dashing in
and out of here on their job of convoy
ing merchant ships and hunting q
boats. They expect to get their bumps,
and they do; but SO long as they get
an even break they are not kicking

they are satisfied that they got an

halves by torpedo and made port.)

she is going out again.
Maybe the same U-boat-you can1

How Floating Dust Causes Fire.

Spontaneous combustion is caused,
so the chemists tell us, by floating
particles of coal dust or other infla:n-
mable material jostling and clashins
against one another until the friction
they set up raises their temperature
to the ignition point. If this explana-
ton is correct, it would appear as if
such fires could be prevented by per
feet ventilation. Such, however, is
not the case, for ventilation may actu-
ally help to bring about fire by 'Ton-
taneous combustion. Air facilitates
oxidation, really tanning the warn,

quiet to avoid fire.--Ponuisr Science

CHAPTER XIV.
A Night of Dissipation.

Curing the first two days 1 spent
win Huyliger after 1 had first arrived
in she big city, he had told me, among
otter things, of moving picture show
in Town which he said 1 might have a
cD -ace to see while there.
1T is free every night in the week
except Saturdays and Sundays" he
sad, "and once you are inside you
would not be apt to be bothered by
al yone except when they come to take
your order for something to drink.
While there is no admission, patrons
are expected to eat or drink while en-
joying the pictures"
A day or two later, while walking
the streets at night in search for food,
l had passed this place and was very
much tempted to go in and spend a
few hours, particularly as it would
perhaps give me an opportunity to
buy something to eat, although l was
at loss to know how | was going to
ask for what | wanted.
While trying TO make up my mind
whether it was safe for me to go in
walked half block past the place, and
when turned back again and reached
the entrance with my mind made uE
that would take the chance l ran full
tilt into a German officer who was just
coming out.
That settled all my hankerings fol
moving pictures that night. 'Where
you came from, my friend [ figured
there must be more like you! guess
it is a good night for walking"
The next day, however, in recalling
the incident of the evening before, Il
seemed to me that l had been rather
foolish. What needed more thar
anything else at that time was conn
dence Before l could get to the from
tier l would have to confront German
soldiers many times, because there
were more of them between this city
and Holland than in any section OF thF
country through which l had so fal

noticed, while careful to obey th'
orders of the Huns, showed no partic

me the sooner l cultivated the sam
feeling of indifference the better
would be able to carry off the part
was playing.
For this reason 1 made up my min
then and there that, officers or no OF
ficers, I would go to that show tina
night and sit it through no matte
what happened. While people ma
think that I had decided unwisely be
cause of the unnecessary risk involve
in the adventure, it occurred to m
that perhaps after all that theater wa
about one of the safest places coul
attend because that was about the las
place Germans would expect to find
fugitive English officer in even if the
were searching for me.

Little Profit in Salt.

A recent investigation by the bu-
reau of mines proves that salt fam
inc in the United States is unlikely,
says the Popular Science Monthly. At
the same time it was established that
owing to the low price of salt and the
abundance of its supply there is but
little profit in the salt industry, al
though the American salt works have
supplied in recent years practically
all the salt consumed in the United
States. What pity-for the prof.
teers-salt is not used in munitions!
