Conservative Muse Of History.

1t is the unhappy usage of our
schools and universities to study the
history of mankind only during periods
of mechanical unproeressiveness. The
historical ideas of Europe range be-
tween the time when the Greeks were
going about the world on foot or horse
back or In galleys or sailing ships to
the days when Napoleon, Wellington
and Nelson were going about mt very
much the same pace in much the same
vehicles and vessels. At the advent of
steam and electricity the muse of his
tory holds her nose and shuts her eyes,

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL
Comparatively Little Is Now BEING
Useri for the Purpose of Giving ri.
rect Illumination.

Although gas is being used more
ment for lighting is almost thing of
the past. Our modern "gas lights" are
chiefly burners where the light is not
given out by the gas at all. 1t is mixed
with air to produce q dim blue flame
with great heating power This flame
serves to heat a mantle of min
eral salts white hot, and it is this in
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas is used not for its light,
but for its heat; and it is as a fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently in England by President
Harry Jones of the Institution of Civ
il Engineers, and reviews by Nature
Uondon), not per cent of the whole
gas output is now used for direct IL
Elimination, so that the name "gas
light company" has become some
thing of misnomer. The use OF gas
as fuel, President Jones says, has re-
ceived special development during the
war, and the ready applicability of gas
appliances to the rapid making of mu-
nitions in emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr. Jones quoted
a high official of the British war office
as follows:
without the direct aid of the gas
Industry it would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
to wage the campaign of the last three
years, or even for any but a trifling
time resist the overwhelming floods of
enemies that were poured upon it.
When first was asked to take charge
of the manufacture and production of
explosives it took me but few days
to realize my absolute dependence on
your great industry"

BLIND MAN ENJOYS FLIGHT
Appreciated the Thrill of Intricate
Aerial Maneuvers Performed by
Experienced Pilot.

Thomas D. SchaIl, the blind con-
gresham from the Tenth Minnesota
district, made flights with Col. Charles
Lee of the British royal flying corps
in Washington recently. 1t was the
first time he had been up in an air.
plane.
Congressman Schall was not salts
fed with the plain ''joy ride Colonel
Lee had given him. When they re-
turned to earth after circling over the
city at an altitude of about two thou
sand feet. the blind representative
asked for more thrills.
"Fine! Finer he exclaimed, as the
machine came to halt. "But, Colonel
Lee. if you wouldn't think me a nui-
sance, would like TO 20 back up anu
turn over"
The biplane was wheeled into posi-
ton again. and off it shot on a trip OF
real sensations. Climbing rapidly To
about two thousand feet. Colonel Lee
started The machine into series ol
dips and dives, spirals and other aerial
antics calculated TO make ones hair
stand on edge. To complete the thrills
the lirplane was made to roll over
iideways and then drop into a beauti
full nose spin.
The passengers sightless eyes were
blinking with delight when his wifi,
ran onto the field to assist him from
the machine.

Wartime Footwear in Holland.

The manufacture of slippers with
wooden soles and cloth tops is war
time industry which has sprung up in
Holland, reports the United States de-
pnrtment Of commerce. The upper
and inner parts of the slippers are
formed of twill, corduroy and wooden
stuffs. All these materials are rela-
lively cheap, and yet make comfortable
md durable slippers. The cloth parts
are made by hand and the wooden
soles by machinery.
In view of the mounting prices of
leather footwear, these combination
slippers, which retail for the equiva-
lent of 81 a pair for the best quality,
are selling rapidly. 1t is claimed that
they are entirely satisfactory for wear
in the home and are practicable for
women engaged in indoor occupations.

Government Finds Fathers.

The death rate among children born
out of wedlock is VIGOROUSLY and uni
versally far higher than that among
legitimate offspring. In the borough of
Hampstead, London, it is 1877 as
against 60, and in New South Wales
1t is 1872 against 81. Norway, however,
has reduced the death rate to normal
through the government assuming the
responsibility of finding the father or
of acting the father in case he cannot
be found.

Automobiles having occasion to

out when crossing that structure at

ties with vessel captains and that one
night within the last week one of them
after saving the chain which the
keeper had locked the draw went
through the bridge and left the draw
open for the remainder of the night.
The commissioners will take imme-
date steps to break up this practice
ever if it finally comes to a point
where the drawkeeper has to be paid
extra wages to remain on duty all
night. At present his hours of duty
are from one hour before sunrise un-

IF YOU HAVE A COLD
DON'T SPREAD IT
State Health Officer Advises To Avoid
"Explosive. Sneezing Or
Talking

This is the season for the common
cold"
If you have a cold, and don't want
your neighbor to catch it from you,
don't talk or laugh "explosively" in
his presence. This bit of advice is
from the Health Department, and was
vouchsafed the public yesterday be-
cause the changeable weather of Sep
TENDER and October is conducive to
what the department calls the com
mon cold
1t says extreme and sudden
changes of atmospheric conditions
frequently catching people wearing
light clothing. tend to lower the re-
sistive power of the human body,
which in turn predisposes the indivi-
dual to various types of infection.
AT this season." the department
goes on to say in bulletin warning
people against colds, 'the most COM
mon infections are those of the upper
respiratory tract, which type of in
lection is usually referred to as a
cold The term cold has no specific
meaning 1t is an infection of either
mild, moderately severe, or severe
character, caused in most instances
by micro-organisms or germs which
are conveyed from person to person
in the act of sneezing or coughing.
Colds are also caused by talking
or laughing explosiyely. so that the
small drops or droplets of saliva are
forcibly elected from the mouth or
throat of person who has common
cold to we'll person. thereby infect
ing the well person with the common

Those suffering from common
colds, irrespective of the degree OF
severity. should be most cautions in
sneezing. coughing or laughing
