coLoGNE's UPS AND DOWNS
lrnportsnt German City of the Present
Has Had Its Periods of Dire
Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was place of great trade; the weav-
ers, the g0ldsmiths. and the armorers
of the city were famous the world
over; while it's merchants had houses
In London, and the city itself was ac-
corded chief place in the Hanseat1c
league. Decay set in with the dawn OF
the Reformation, and the place owed
its Gowhfall to It's intolerance. Thus,
its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation, began at once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when,
in 1854, Cologne was occupied by the
French, it was a poor and decayed
city of some 10000 inhabitants, Of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.
Since 1915, however, when it was
finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to
day it is one of the most important
CITES of Germany, with population
cf nearly half million.

EooI.Proof AirpIane.

The latest model of British airplane
is said to be as nearly foolproof as 1t
is possible to make such machine
as an airplane. The machines are so
balanced and the wings so arranged,
that when the engine stops they glide
gradually and easily to earth. The
following test shows how stable these
airplanes are: A pilot climbed to a
sufficient height, and then stopped his
engine and took his hands off the con-
troll, merely keeping his feet on the
rudder bar. He steered for an air.
drome twenty miles away, and, having
headed her straight, he let the air
plane do what she liked. She trav-
eled the whole twenty miles as stead
lily as bicycle coasting down long,
straight and gentle hill. OF course
the pilot had to take hold of the con-
troll stick to land the machine in the
airdrome. but except for that. and the
steering, the airplane made the whole
journey by herself.

MAKE YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS
All One Needs to Determine Physical
Condition Is to Test by Clint
cal Thermometer.

The best way of asking friend how
he is, is not to say flippantly: "How
are you blowing?" or even 'How's
your liver?" but simply and sufficient
ly: Flows your temperature? Ac-
cording to your temperature you are
well or i'll, alive or nearly dead. In
fact, there are only ten degrees be-
tween blooming health and certain
death, observes a writer in London
Answers.
The temperature of the air has moth
ing to do with the temperature of the
body. which is the temperature Of the
blood. The Eskimo in health sends
the clinical thermometer to the same
spot as the Negro in Timbuctoo. viz,
9S degrees Fahrenheit. The tempera-
ture of the air will sometimes vary 40
degrees in the same day. but if the
temperature of the body goes up two
degrees. you are i'll; four degrees, you
are very i'll: six degrees, and the doc
tor is very anxious; eight degrees, and
you are at deaths door.
Anybody can take a temperature,
even his own It is great safe
guard to possess and use a clinical
thermometer. Ninety-eight degrees, all
right; 100 degrees. stay at home; 101
degrees, go to bed: 102 degrees, send
for the doctor. Anything higher than
that is doctors job.

"The piston is in the form of a
solid iron rod that enters the cylinder
through hole pierced in the middle
Of one of the ends" writes Henri
Fabre, "and just large enough to give
free passage to the rod, without let
ting the steam escape. This rod is
bound to another iron piece, called a
crank, and finally the crank is attached
to the eighboring wheel. The
piston, advancing and retreating in
turn in the cylinder, pushes the. crank
forward and back, and the crank thus
makes the great wheel turn. On the
other side of the locomotive, the same
things are taking place by means Of a
second cylinder. Then the two great
wheels turn at the same time and the
locomotive moves forward

BELGlANs PROUD Of CITIES
In Their centers of Industry They See
Embodied the Glorious History
of the Past.

No man shall say we love our land
less than Frenchman loves France,
less than a Belgian loves his native
land. We have our holy cities. Win
chester and Canterbury, and hundred
more whose old names are dear to
speak. Yet / believe, writes Lon
doner" in the London Evening News,
that the Belgian has a patriotism OF
the city, of the town, which we never
had.
The story Of that love for the city
is all the history Of Belgium. The his
tory of the freedom and the wealth
and the ancient arts of Belgium is
in the history of Antwerp and Bruges,
of Brussels and Ghent,' and Louvain
and .Ypres. 1t begins with the build
ing of the town wall. with the market
that grows up behind the shelter OF
walls and armed gates, with the rails
ing of the tall belfry, the towns pride;
and the hanging of the bells.
If you were tourist who could see
the glory of old Flanders and Brabant,
you would look not at the cathedral or
the church, although Belgium has
many noble old churches, but at the
town hall and the belfry. The like OF
them is not in any other country.

OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD
Dick Rurae, Once Well Known in This
Country Met His Death Fight
inc in France.

Late Private Richard Burge OF the
First Surrey rifles never was a quit
ter, and, despite the fact that he was
ut the half century mark, he enlisted
and died the death of soldier. be
was once the lightweight champion OF
England. and was born December
10, 1865.
Dick Burge was name well known
to the fight fans on both sides of the
Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly
because of his reme rkable battle with
Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Dick was sew
eral inches taller than the Saginaw
Kid, and he had a considerable ad-
vantage in weight, but, much to his
surprise and that of the English fans,
he was knocked out in the seventeenth
round He gave good account OF
himself before he fell, however, anu
there were times when the Kid had
reason to fear that he had taken On
too good q man. After Burge quit the
ring he became>a fight promoter. That
was in 1900. He enlisted as volun-
teer in the British army in 1915 and
served with the colors for three years.

Rulers With Business instincts.

At the outset of his imperial career
the grandfather of the former German
kaiser. Frederick William. owed his
accumulation of money to his COM
mercial dealings. One of his CONNER
cial undertakings was to start milk
rounds, which did exceedingly we'll, in
spite of being carried on sub rosa, for
the German courtiers found that the
Imperial favor was dependent upon
their patronizing the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
a huge milk monopoly in various cities.
and reaped a correspondingly large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had
keen commercial instincts. and had a
finger in most of the big German un-
dertakings. In Germany it was cur
rently reported that Balm was mere
" the fgure-head of the North Ger
man Lloyd line of steamships, and
that the kaiser was the real man at
the helm, and the same thing was said
Of many other money-making con-
Germs.

Influence Of Good Books.

When you find child who loves
good books, the noxions weeds of
envy, hatred, jealousy and malice are
not so likely to grow in his mind and
choke out the exquisite blossoms OF
love, tenderness, unselfishness. graft
tude and the desire to do unto others
as he would be done by. The love Of
good books is one foundation for good
character, observes a writer in the
Oklahoman. 1t is the exception, not
the rule, to encounter sordidness, greed
or insensibility in the man or woman
who knows and loves good books. Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson once said that so
long as man had friend he had
something to live for. Is it not true
so long as one can love good and
beautiful book that life never will be
without hope?

First to Teach Deaf Mutes.

The first American institution for
the education of the deaf and dumb
was founded in Hartford in 1917 by
DR.. Thomas III. Gallaudet, who was
born in Philadelphia 131 years ago.
He was educated at Yale and at
Andover Theological seminary. and
it was his intention to enter the min
istry. Before leaving Andover. how
ever, he had decided to devote his
life to the instruction Of deaf mutes,
for whom no provision had been made
anywhere in America. He remained
at the head of the Hartford institu-
ton from 1917 until 1880. when i'll
health forced his retirement. The
first systematic attempt to instruct
the deaf and dumb in Europe was
made in 1870 by Pedro de Ponce, a
Benedictine monk of Spain. The first
British institution of this kind was
opened in Edinburgh in 1913.

The Economy General.

Gen. Sir Henry Horne. "the man who
took Douai," has been called the econ
omy general through skiliful manip-
ulation of men and his small casual
ty list. His name will be handed down
to posterity as the man who invented
the creeping barrage" system, which
came into universal use on the battle
field. With the assistance of this bar
rage, he captured Fricourt, Mametz
and Douai, gaining maximum results at
minimum cost. His losses in men and
material on each occasion were very
light.
General Horne belongs to the Old
Contemptibles, and he saw service also
in the South African war His proud
est moment during that campaign was
when General Cronje surrendered to
him.

BOHEMIA HIVE OF INDUSTRY
Little Country, Now to Be Given op.
portunity to Progress, Has Been
Much Misunderstood.

Not one of the little countries which
have come into being as independent
states. or parts Of new nations, since
the triumph of the allies, is more often
misunderstood in America than Bo-
hemia has always been. The very
name has implied, for many persons,
the unconventional ways Of artists.
the gypsying of vagrantS. and the i'm
patience of restraint which is sup
posed to characterize countries remote
from great centers of trade and IN
duStry and rather backward in their
business interests.
But Bohemia is wonderful hive OF
hard-working and skilled artisans. 1t
is one of the most denSely populated
countries in the world, exceeding. in
that respect, Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, as a whole or in either half of
the old monarchy, and even Italy. The

to the area, is IS per cent greater than
it is in France Bohemia is almost

ginning of the war. is about 30 per
cent greater than that of this state.
There is no other division of Aus
tria-Hungary, taking into the reckon
ing the entire territory formerly in
that dual monarchy, which is equal to
Bohemia in manufactures. 1t is a
notable center of iron and steel pro-
duction. It's textiles are an impor-
tant factor in the trade of Europe, and
it's glassware, china, sugar. beer, chem
icals, paper, tobacco. lace, toys and
many other products of skill and pa
tient labor are widely known. Neces-
sarily, the commerce of so busy a
country is large and far-reaching.
All that Bohemia needs is the op-
portunity which has come at last to
prove the capacity of its people for
great progress beyond the level they
have already attained.

processes is uncertain. Perhaps it is
too much to say that the best fruit
Of the educational vine is produced
from its original source; that what
comes of schooling is something quite
different from the apparent result al
the source; that the best things man
or woman does are very different from
the particular, or nonparticui2rlzed
thing, he or she is directly taught to
do. We are turning to the business OF
making our schools show quick fruit
age of working ability.
But it is at least fair hazard to
opine that the pupils who become
"some pumpkins" will often as not be
products known long way from the
special process of education that ex-
treme vocationalists advise.
