Germ Of, Laughter.

Laughter, we are told by all author
tiles on the human emotions, springs
from sense of satisfaction and su.
periority in the laugher over the
laughee, if we may coin the word fol-
the occasion The Paris Rose Rouge
publishes a hitherto imprinted essay
on laughter by Stendahl, in which the
following definition occurs:
"What is laughter? 1t is a success
sion of pulmonary spasms accompa'
MED by a peculiar facial expression
which is so familiar that need not
describe it and by pleasurable SEN
sation around the chest.
'This physical state arises from q
sudden inspiration to compare our
own worth with someone else's and
resulting in a verdict favorable to our
selves. Laughter thus arises from the
sudden recognition of our own su,
periority."

Copyright Acts.

The first act providing for the copy
right of books and other publications
In the United States was passed 129
years ago. The term Of copyright was
then fixed at IA years, with the priv
ilege of renewal for Il years longer.
in 1911 the period was extended to
% years and providing for renewal
for IA years. For nearly hundred
years after the passing of the first
copyright law the protection was ex-
tended only to citizens of the United
States. In England a similar injus-
tice was practiced upon Americans, al
T., though the British government did
permit foreigners to take out copy
right, provided their work was first
published in England and the author
was at the time Of publication any
where within the British dominions.
International copyright conventions
now exist between nearly all nations.
The first copyright act in England was
passed in 100, giving protection for
Ia years and for the authors life II
then living. In 1914 the English law
was amended by extending the period
to % years.

FIND UPAs TREE ALUABLE
Natives Of Java Procure Ready-Made
Clothing From Its Branches
With Little Effort.

One Of the strangest myths is that
which concerns the deadly upas tree"
of Java, whose poisonous exhalatlons
were formerly alleged to kill any man
or animal that ventured into It's neign-
borhood.
Doubtless it had it's origin in some
travellers tale, for the tree In ques-
tion-rather widely distributed IN
southern and southeastern Asia-has
no terrors for the natives Of these
countries, who, on the contrary, find
it extremely useful.
1t is the only kind of tree In the
world that produces ready-made cloth
ing. The inner bark is natural cloth,
only requiring the removal Of the soft
cellular stuff in order to render it avail
able for use. A cylindrical section OF
it from a small branch will furnish a
leg for q pair of trousers or an arm
for coat, while from bigger branch
the body of the garment is obtained,

MAMMOTH CAVE LONG FAMOUS

Worlds Wonders, Practically

The most famous cavern in America

Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref

tomahawks and reed torches that have
been found in the cavern depths.
Then, In 1909, a white man, pioneer
hunter, followed.a wounded bear into
the mouth of the great cave, and from
that time on Mammoth cave became
in American estimation the eighth
wonder OF the world.
Almost as soon as the white man
discovered the cavern he began 10

the era of Indian possession bats hid

course of time their skeletons had ac-
cumulated on the floor, especially
near the entrance. These skeletons,
containing nitrate, played an lmpor-
tant part in the war Of 1872, for
nitrate, so needed for making explo-
sives. was scarce in the colonies ana
the Mammoth cave became the main
source of supply.
When the country settled down TO
a period of comfortable prosperity,
Mammoth cave became, even more

Keep Mind Free From Rust.

A rusty tool of any sort is poor
recommendation for the owner. 1t Is
doubly condemning when that tool Is
the master key of life. The weather
and the carelessness of others may
rust tools of steel. Only the Incidence
of the man himself can allow the mind
to get rusty. It's mark of senillty
or premature mental weakness when
the mind that ought to be vigorous
shows signs of rust. No man of good
sense has right to think he has
reached his limit Of usefulness. Each
step upward should become the incen-
tive to higher step. As higher ground
extends the vision so mental attain
ment should extend the scope OF q
mans NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Grit.

.Plunkett Reiterates
His Self Government
Ideas for Ireland

London, Nov. 6.-Sir Horace
Plunkett, discussing the report that
the cabinet committee on Ireland
had accepted proposals providing for
the creation of two separate Irish
parliaments, with some form of su-
preme authority representative OF
both, reiterated the ideas he had ex-
pressed in his speech at the National
Liberal club, October %, when he
advocated an offer of the fullest
measure of self-government to the
Irish people. Referring to this
speech, Sir Horace said:
II there laid it down as an essen
tial of the settlement that it should
have a good chance of receiving,
not Immediately but ultimately, the
support Of the majority of the Irish
people. Throughout the controversy
| have insisted upon united Ire
land with a real democratically con-
stituted parliament in supreme con-
troll of all its affairs other than for
eign policy and defense.
The report to which you call my
attention sets up two parliaments,
one for the northern and the other
for the three southern provinces,
while the Irish parliament which
will determine the national policy
of Ireland is reduced to some kind
of a council"
