Wireless Waves and Fire.

At first thought it seems highly I'm
probable that any fire could be ascribed
to the effect of wireless waves, though
it is conceivable that, granted certain
especially favorable conditions, the
kindling of a spark between adjacent
metal parts might have such effect.
M. LIE Roy, in a recent issue of the
Complies Rendus, describes expert
ments intended to test this point. He
had met with several cases in which
fires did appear to have been caused
by wireless waves. Accordingly, he
constructed an "inf1ammable resona-
tor" by the aid of which he did sue
ceed in setting fire to paper, cotton
wadding and other substances. He
thinks it possible that in certain con-
ditions infammable substances such
as bales of cotton bound with hoop
iron, could be set on fire by wireless
means.-Dallas News.

Il For the Health of This Com
~ munity." Such is the slogan
appearing on the flap Of enve-
lopes on which the Red Cross
Christmas Seal is printed. The issue
of such envelopes in order to save the
trouble of affixing gummed seals to
letters sent out in quantity by large
corporations and business houses has
been inaugurated this year as part Of
the machinery of distribution set in
motion by the National tuberculosis
Association and its 1000 State and To-
cal organizations in disposing of more
than 65O,OOO,OOO Red Cross Christmas
Seals during the ten day sale which
began on December l.
The significance of the slogan lies in
the fact that whether the letter is
mailed in Los Angeles or Boston, in
Chicago or in Galveston it still holds
true. "This community" literally
means the place where the seal is
bought and used. To be exact, 91.7
per cent of the funds raised is devoted
to local anti-tuberculosis activities in
the state. OF the remaining 8.3 per
cent a portion goes to the Red Cross.

The secret of real success is this:
II you have lived such a life that you
can say: 81 have never done any man
an injury" If you can say of your
enemies: II freely forgive them of the
injuries they have done me, and pity
them for having done so," and if you
can rejoice in the fact that you are
not like them; if you can sleep all
night the sound sleep of clear con-
science, and, rejoice in the knowledge
that you possess a conscience; If you
possess a tender heart that can move
you to tears of sympathy for the strick-
en- Que and a nature given to lending
Of a helping hand to such stricken
ones, and if, when you come to that
time when "The cruel master death
seals the eyes and steals thy breath"
and can calmly face that moment with
out fear, with a full knowledge of
swell done" at the end, then you are
a success, otherwise, no matter what
your station in life may be you are
