Set HE Standard n,oh.

One big trouble in this world is that
we do not set our standards high
enough. We content ourselves with
little performances, and do not pick
our critic with care. We suit our
selves.
All this cannot be said about a GER
tain little boy In this town. who got
a big blackboard and plenty Of crayon
for Christmas. Whatever the ability
Of that embryo artist may be, certain
ly his ambition Is boundless.
He ven to Sunday school, and
while there was much impressed, as
usual. with the pictures Of Biblical
characters shown him.
That afternoon he stood before his
new blackboard and meditated deep
and long.
Then he turned to his mother and
said:
"rm going to draw a picture that
win surprise God."-Washington Star.

Determining Age Of Planets-

A novel idea In estimating the physi-
cal condition of planets was put forth
by NJ. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based 1t upon a calculation
Of the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the noon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by a thick
layer of vapor. while nc water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry. this planet being still In a con-
dition in which Its geological life has
not begun. and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
M. VerOnnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth of about
400 metres.

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices When He Is Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

I became conscious of a feeling OF
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, in the
Atlantic. / remembered what ]. b.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look longingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. /, too, longed for the
sound of human voices, and all that l
heard was the roar of the motor and
the swish Of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hui
nan quality In them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping of the
waves would be to a man adrift on a
raft In midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, In part responsible
for 1t, vas the knowledge of the fall
libility of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, II a few
frail wires should part; of the equally
quick. but less ~phlegmatic response OF
another fallible mechanism, capable OF
registering horror, capable. 1t is said,
of passing Its past life in review in the
space of a few seconds, and then
capable of becoming equally inanimate
matter.

LIFE PRIMITIVE AND RUGGED
Scenes on Bosom Of Russia's Mighty
River Cannot Be Duplicated
Anywhere on Earth.

The days on the VOlga are as alike
as the white towns strung on the Volga
chain, and all laden with a n OF
life, sluggish and primal and poten-
tial. The scent of pines, of new-mown
hay, of drying nets, and the fragrance
of lilies; brawny ~red-shirted sailors
shouting and splashing each other with
water as they scrub the decks; the
whistllng of grain steamers; the sound
of hammers from barges building along
the shore; anchor chains rafting as
we drop into the wharf where fisher
men are unloading their shining catch.
II is a robust river life, not familiar,
but transposed into strange keys and
staged largely.
The RATS seemed the most essen
TALLY Russian part of the VOlga. we
had seen them before. Gargantuan
yellow logs, as. delicious looking as
taffy, dragged from a forest in Tver
and bound together with saplings, Zach
raft bearing a tiny hut for the fam
lilies who make the journey with the
RATS to the sea. Now we met them
on the river, peopled with ~rollicking
figures, who balanced themselves with
long poles and laughed and shouted
unintelligible cries to us as the surge
of the steamer threatened their foot
hold.
The crackers, borilaki, we never say;
debased men of herculean strength,
muscles knotting In their hairy Threats,
thews straining like horses against the
dead weight of the barges as Riepin
had painted them. They have passed
with the sails. But the other figures
on the RATS, in the fishing boats-are
their brothers. And never have / felt
life emerging so freshly from the black
mold.-Olive Gilbreath In the Yale Re-
view.
