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 unprogressiveness. 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 at 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.
Science will study and get the better
Of a modern disease, as for example,
sleeping sickness, in spite of the fact
that it has no classical standing, but
our history schools would be shocked
at the bare idea of studying the effect
of modern means Of communication
upon administrative areas, large or
small. This defect in our historical
training has made our minds politi-
celly sluggish.-H. G. Wells in New
Republic.

M0LLUsKs MAKE GOOD SOUP
Thrown Up on Florida Beaches by che
Waves They Are Collected and
Sold TO Hotels.

Along the Florida beaches very
common and familiar kind Of rock is
wholly composed of the shells Of q
small species Of mollusk, oval in shape
and half an inch long. It is called
"coquina," and is hard on the feet If
one walks over it without shoes.
In beds below the line of low tide
are mollusks of the same kind, alive.
Their bivalve shells are pink, blue and
Of other colors, quite brilliant, so that
in places the beaches are beautiful to
the eye, great numbers of them being
thrown up by the waves along the
shore.
Under such circumstances they soon
die, of course, leaving their pretty
shells to adorn the strand. But there
are always plenty Of live ones at the
waters edge, and these are gathered
in quantity at some of the winter re-
sorts by boys who collect them with
rakes and carry them in baskets to the
hotels for sale.
They are used for soup, being
pressed to a pulp in order to extract
their juice. The latter, strained and
heated, affords very delicious table
beverage known as @coquina broth"
It is particularly recommended for In
valids and persons with weak diges-
ton.

No Match Famine.

Every few days one reads in the pa
-Ders stories about match famine, I"
but the largest manufacturers assert
Ahat there is no need for alarm from
Sthat source. There is, they say, a GER
stain shortage in "strike-on-the-box"
matches, due to the fact that all for
~eign matchmakers, especially the
Swedes, are having trouble in getting
materials, and are shipping here very
few matches of that sort, while the
United States government has virtu-
ally commandeered the output Of that
type of match made in America for
: use in the army and navy.
But as for household matches there
ARE plenty Of the vell-known brands
to be had, and no prospect of short
age. A few of the small manufacture
ers occasionally have period of short
age in certain materials, but the big
companies are turning out plenty.

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

Thomas D. Schall, 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! Fine!" he exclaimed, as the
machine came to a halt. s'But, Colonel
Lee, if you wouldn't think me nui-
sance, / would like to go back up and
turn over"
The biplane was wheeled into posi-
ton again, and off it shot on trip Of
real sensations. Climbing rapidly to
about two thousand feet. Colonel Lee
started the machine into a series Of
dips and dives, spirals and other aerial
antics calculated to make ones hair
stand on edge. To complete the thrills,
the airplane was made to roll over
sideways and then drop into a beauti-
full nose spin.
The passengers sightless eyes were
blinking with delight when his wife
ran onto the field to assist him from
the machine.

She Was a Poor Picker.

"Shame has driven many man
into the ranks" declared Lord North
cliffe, sand in this regard we have to
thank the women of the nation for
turning many would-be Stacker into
an excellent soldier. Sometimes, how
ever, they are overzealous or make
mistakes. A case of this sort hap
pened recently on London bus.
A young man offered lady his
seat. Imagine mis- surprise when she
drew herself up haughtily and ex-
claimed: 81 don't accept favors from
slackers."
But he was not taken aback. In
stead, he regarded the lady critically
and then replied:

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL.
Comparatively Little Is Now Being
Used for the Purpose of Giving 0i-
rect illumination.

Although gas is being used more
than ever before, its direct employ
Eent for lighting is almost a 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 a 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 it's heat; and it is as q 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
(London), not 5 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 a 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 70 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 brt trifing
time resist the overwhelming floods Of
enemies that were poured upon it.
When I first vas 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"

Tried Hard to Save shipmate.

Sailors are always true to their ship
mates. There is never an incident
where danger threatens one man Of a
ship that some other man of the crew
is not ready to stand by. John j.
Swigart, a seaman, United States
navy, was doing duty on an army
transport. A shipmate fell or was
washed overheard and the alarm was
given. Although tho vessel was going
at a high speed, Swigart jumped over
board and, landing in its wake, swan
':te a point where the man was last
seen. He searched for the body until
completely exhausted. For his heroism
he has been officially commended. Swi-
CART enlisted from Cincinnati, March
10, 1917.

DIFFER OVER ORIGIN or DOG
Whether All Kinds Had a Common
Ancestor Has Long Been a Mat
ter Of Dispute.

The ancestry Of the dog has been
the occasion Of much controversy, &C
cording to Leo S. Crandalfs book,
'Pets." Many naturalists have con-
sidered that it is descended from a
single ancestor, such as the common
wolf Of Europe. Darwin, however,
leans toward the theory Of multiple
origin, and advances much convincing
proof in support Of his belief. 1t Is
widely known that many savage tribes
have dogs. which appear to be simply
half-tamed representatives Of the par
ticular wild doglike animals inhabiting
the same regions.
The dogs Of the American plains In
dians closely resemble the small prai-
rie wolf, or coyote; the husky Of the
north country is plainly not far re-
moved from the gray wolf; the Ger
man sheep dog and the Samoyede are
strikingly wolflike in appearance.
Whether our present dogs are the re-
suit Of crossing these many simple
derivatives Of wolves and jackals
among themselves, or whether there
was an original ancestral dog, now ex-
tinct, with which the blood Of other
species has become mingled, we have
not yet been able to determine, though
80 many prlmordial animal remains
have come to light.
According to st. George Mivart, the
dingo Is the only wild dog still exist
ing which meets the requirements OF
an ancestor Of our modern breeds.
This species is found throughout Aus
tralia and fossil bones which have been
found show it's presence there from
very early times.

FAITHFUL TO HIS TRUST
Native African Kept Eyes on Watch
for Hour, Lest 1t Should Go
"Jump, Jump"

France has many black fighting men
from Senegal in the field; nor are they
the only troops recruited from savage
or semisavage races that are engaged
in the great conflict. A young British
officer found himself one night, by a
mischance to his motorcycle, stranded
by the wayside, and with only a little
group Of negro stragglers anywhere in
sight. He was very tired, having had
no sleep for many hours. One Of the
Africans talked the pidgin English Of
a coast town, and this man informed
ham that some motorlorries would be
scoming along soon, upon which it
would be possible to get lift.
"Soon," in the mouth Of an African,
is an elastic term, but the captain
thought he could afford to wait an
hour before setting forward on foot in
search of some other means of trans
portation. Meanwhile, he wanted a
znap-wanted it desperately-but he
could not trust himself to wake at the
end of an hour. The African could not
tell time, but the captain determined
to depend upon him, nevertheless.
Showing him the dial of his wrist
watch, he explained that he wished to
be walked when the long hand reached
there and the short hand there. Then
he lay down, with arm extended, and
the negro crouched beside him, with
his eyes on the dial.
Exactly at the right moment the
sleeper was called; and as he opened
cihis eyes they fell upon the African, in
Sprecisely the same position, with
something strained in his aspect that
suggested Inquiries. It appeared that
he had not dared look away during the
a entire hour.
'sFor sure him clock trabbel slow,
massa," he explained. "But spose him
stop go walkee, walkee? Spose him
80 jump, jump"
Upon river steamer in Africa Miss
Mary Kingsley, the English explorer,
once heard other passengers giving di-
rections to the native steward in the
adjoining main saloon:
'sYou savvy six o'clock? When them
long arm catch them place, and them
short arm catch them place, you call
me in the morning time"
An interval of silence, and then an
other voice:
'You savvy five o'clock? When them
long arm" And so it went on, until
each passenger had pointed out on the
clock face the proper relation Of the
two hands to each other at the moment
he desired to be called. The ignorant
native steward, who could not tell time
and could not learL to, was yet suf-
ficiently observant to place and re-
member the calls correctly; he never
got them mixed.-Youth's Companion.
