dad, what is a roost?" asked Char
lie. "A roost, my son, is pole upon
which chickens sit at night" replied
his father. "And what's perch, dad7"
"A perch is what chickens perch on"
"Then I suppose, dad, chicken could
roost on perch?" came the further
inquiry. "Of counsel" was the smiling
reply. "And they could perch on a
roost?" "Why, y-yes!" answered dad.
But If chickens perched on roost
that would make the roost perch,
wouldn't it? But II just after some
chickens had perched on roost and
made it perch some more chickens
came along and roasted on the perch
and made 1t roost, then the roost
would be a perch and the perch would
be roost, and some Of the chickens
would be perchers and the others
c,ould be ROSTERS, and--well, there"

CHART OF GREAT USEFULNESS
Record Said to Have Saved Many
Thousands Of Dollars for Big
Telegraph Company.

One of the big telegraph companies
not long ago completed chart that
shows all the wires used in the land
service of the company. There are
about 100000 miles of wires In oil.
Each wire is represented by a line on
the chart, and number, with figures to
indicate the material and the gauge.
The chart also shows the route OF
every cut-in, whether 1t is for opera
ton or for testing. Besides that, the
map shows the cross connections be-
tween the various wires in each Office,
and even the office assignments OF the
various circuits
The chart covers 20 sheets, each
three feet By five. If mounted edge
to edge it would form one map p
feet high and IS feet long. In order
to handle the record conveniently, the
sheets are mounted in steel frame pan
els that swing like the leaves of a
gigantic book. II is said that this
chart is the first single comprehensive
record of the material, the size, the
position and the purpose of every wire
operated by the Western Union Tele-
graph company. Having such record
has already saved thousands OF dol
lars that might have been spent in
construction work had not the chart
shown an alternative scheme that was
better.

LITTLE USE MADE OF RIVERS
Great Waterways Of United States
Seem to Visiting Europeans
to Be Neg:ectcd.

A ChinamIn who travels in the
United States is certain to remark
"What grand rivers, but how lonely!
BY utilizing their rivers 4OOOOO,OOO
Chinese have managed to get along
without railroads. Il feat incOmpre'
hensible in occidental countries.
visitor from continental Europe would
say: "Your rivers Of the Mississippi
valley are unequaled as gift of ma
ture But where is the commerce!
Where the permanently deepened
channels, united with correspondingly
deep canals for heavy freight, like
those connecting the Rhine, Danube,
Rhone, Loire and others?" Our only
answer could be that we have as yet
scarcely made a beginning with our
splendid streams in the most pro-
ductive valley on earth, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Yet with re-
markable energy, promptness ana
success we constructed the great canal
between the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans, paying the entire cost our
selves and opening it on equal terms
to all nations. One reason for the
backwardness with our majestic rivers
and their many navigable tributaries
is that we have never taken up The
subject with due seriousness and de-
cisive purpose. We have been dis
mayed when told that the problem in
vOlved hundreds of millions in money.
But since 1914, including the next
fiscal year, congress has appropriated
$47,OOO,OOO,O00 The word ''impoS-
sible" should not be reserved for use
against profitable investment like
improved waterways.
Necessity knows no law. A vast
emergency presented itself that de-
manded the expenditure Of the $47,-
COO,OOO0G0 in five years. One OF the
first problems in the national emer-
gcncy was transportation. The rail-
roads, of course, were pushed so hard
that the government felt compelled to
take them in hand. Adequate wateE-
ways would have been of enormous
advantage, but the big rivers heard lit
tie sound save their own dashing.
1--WE can't afford to improve the
rivers" was the OLD view. The OBJ
vious truth is that we can't afford not
to improve them.

FARMER SUPREME IN CHINA
TiIIer Of the Soil Lives Circumscribed
Life, and Is Satisfied With
Bare Existence.

In recognition of the Importance OF
Chinese agriculture the emperor him
self, in the days Of the empire, fol-
lowed the wise custom of turning a
furrOw Of ground once year in the
sacred precincts of the Temple Of
Heaven at Picking. 1t is the farmer
still who is the truest representative
Of Chinese society and the farmers
baby who carries on the tradition in
it's soundest aspects. His life as he
grows up may be narrowly circum-
scribed by the mud walls Of his hum
BILE matched home, which he shares
indiscriminately with the pigs and live
stock; the rise and fall Of dynasties or
republics trouble him not at all. If
the year passes with no devastating
floods, wrecking the results Of many
months labor, food will be sufficient !;
no more can be asked. Now and
then strolling actors come through the
village and set up their grassmat the
aters; story-teller makes his ap-
pearance at the temple festival, re-
counting the strangely living deeds Of
miraculous beings in centuries long
since harvested; itinerant traders,
their wares on their backs, pass down
the deep-sunken road, bringing the
gossip of the outer world. If life is
lived according to the irreducible de-
nominator 1t is not wholly barren.
There is the vast accumulated thought
of the past, the immeasurable world
of the countless dead, toward which
the present reaches out like a ring
ever widening toward eternlty-Asia
