Liuht Plant Runs Itself.

An automatic electric lighting plant,
designed for private house use, is
mounted on two cross girders for con-
venient portability, and comprises an
oil engine, dynamo, automatic start
ing switch and water tank.
The small battery also supplied has
a capacity much below that of the
charging plant. The apparatus is SO
designed that while the battery is
charged and not at work the engine
is at rest, and it continues at rest
while the lamps turned on are being
fed sufficiently by the stored current
But when the battery voltage falls
below a certain point the automatic
switch sets the machinery in motion.
The starting current-quickly cut of
by time-Iimit circuit breaker-turns
the dynamo, and this starts the en-
gine, which runs as long as needed.
When the Iessened use of current
permits the battery to become sufi-
ciently charged the switch stops the
engine.

An old and not very easy question
is raised by the advice given to needy
students by a Cornell professor who
tells them not to try to work their
way through college, but to borrow
what money they need. Each case
has to be settled on Its merits. If
man has a $4,000 mind and a mar
ket for it in sight, 1t may be poor econ
omy to take time from his studies and
other college occupations to earn mon
ey by odd jobs, and the extra work
may even involve risk OF break
down. On the contrary, a rugged, in
dependent youth, with plenty Of
strength and faculty for finding work
may be positively benefited by the ex-
ira labor Of earning his way and by the
stimulating sense of being out on
debt. Yet there are many good men
who have not this faculty, and 1t is
rather surprising that no millionaire
in endowing colleges has yet planned
for shops where work at fair price
could be offered to students. Steady
cumulative work is educationally bet
ter than odd jobs, and after first year
of training a students labor should be
worth a fair wage. Whatever deficit
was incurred could be charged up to
vocational training.

The Tale of the Earrlno.


A curious instance Of the survival
and revival Of fashion which orig
mated in the remotest times is the
earring. Worn by the kings of Egypt,
and extremely popular among the la
dies Of ancient Rome, it subsequently
lost favor until the gay day of the
Stuart period, after which 1t again
dropped out, and has now once more
regained popularity. The very earliest
mention of this form of decoration is
to be found III the Book of Genesis.
Jacob, 1t will be remembered, on
reaching Bethel buried certain strange
idols, among them some earrings be-
longing to his family. Doubtless these
ornaments were regarded purely in a
'propitiatory light As amulets or tails
mans, such being still their principal
office in the east today. That they are
OF eastern origin 1s certain, and among
Orlentals, with the exception Of
Greeks and Hebrews, 1t has always
been the custom for both sexes to
wear them, while frequently only one
ear was adorned. Among other races,
however, earrings were always worn
in pairs, and by the women only.

NOW FUTURIST FACE POWDER
MauVe, YeIiew and Green Tints Made
by Fashions Leaders From
Pearl Dust.

The pOst-impressiOnist artists, paint
ing, as they do, mauve, yellow, green
and brown flesh tints, have given a
new idea to manufacturers OF cos
metics.
The fashionable woman may now
tint her complexion in any tone as
easily as she may assume a toilette in
that color. One manufacturer is show
ing face powders in shades called vio-
let yellow, emerald, old rose and
ashen rose.
These new tints are recommended
only for evening wear, as it is gener-
ally admitted that they would be too
grotesque for daylight. The amazing
thing, however, is that they really
look well on the skin, and when ap-
piled give only the faintest sugges-
tiCn Of shadCwy color. Thus, when
the mauve powder is 5ed, the shad
OWs have a sort of purple bloom, which
is rather becoming and lends softness
to the face, accentuating in small de
gree the expression of the eyebrows
and eyeIashes, and also intensifying
the color of the eyes. The purple
int is usually recommended for bru-
lettes with blue or gray eyes.
yellow powder is flGttering TO
blondes, who need to intensity the yel-
low in their skins to correspond with
the shadows cast from golden hair.
This intensifes the type and makes it
much warmer looking, therefore much
harmonious than il the face were tint
ed with either white or sO-called flesh
colored powder.
The most difficult of all the new
shades to conceive as having a place
among beauty applications is the green
powder. But through demonstration
it is proved that certain types of col
oring look we'll with the green tint,
notably ashen blondes who have the
reflection Of green lights from the
hair. This is also recommended for
types too f1orid, whether blonde or
brunette. 1t is said to give a cool,
clean look to such skins.
The rose color is not at all the old
fashioned flesh pink, but sort of
salmon tinted old rose. This Is a
color which would be we'll suited to a
neutral brunette, as it would warm the
type, giving body and a look Of
strength to the skin and a consequent
-healthlike flush.
1t is an interesting fact that these
new cosmetics are made from powder
of real pearls, a discovery Of somewhat
recent date, though for some time in
quito current use in Paris.

On Modern Man,

The late Emerson Taylor, our con-
sui at Port of Spain" said Washing
ton official, hailed from Dry Run, and
he had fund of happy Dry Run hu-
NOR.
Taylor once compared a disgruntled
brother consul to a Dry Run house
wife.
"This woman" he said, "often took
a queer, disgruntled view Of things.
Thus she said one day:
"T don't think the prodigal son was
so bad, after all
"'He want no good to his family,
said her husband
"'That's a fact said the Dry Run
woman. But when he got home, all
the same, he knowed enough to keep
his mouth shet. If he'd been like the
twentieth century man, by crinus, the
first thing he'd done would a. been
to find fault with the way the fatted
calf was cooked"

Small Mercies,

The young English tourist who had
been staying for a week at hotel
in the Scottish highlands, for the pur-
pose of taking advantage Of the fish
ing, was, at the end of that time,
rather inclined to think that the fish
ing had taken advantage of him. He
had caught nothing, and his expenses,
Of course, had been none the less
heavy.
On the last day of his stay, how
ever, he landed a fine salmon.
We'll, Donald" he said TO canny
Scot at the hotel, as he proudly sur
veyed the fish; ''it's a nice catch, and
so it ought to be. 1t has cost me SIS
at least"
"Aweel," replied Donald calmly, 'it's
a gr-great blessin' ye didna catch ony
mair!"-CasseII's Saturday Journal.

Woman Nav FIy Ocean,

Miss Ruth Bancroft Law and her
brother, F. Rodman Law, are to try
flight across the Atlantic in biplane.
They expect to make the trip in July.
THE fight will be from Newfound-
land to the Irish coast" said Miss Law
today, "and / shall take my brother.
l do not think there is the slightest
doubt that we can do it. We shall
carry no pontoons or boats, but under
the wings of our machine we will
have three floats of hollow tin, so in
case of a fall the apparatus will float.
Boats would be too heavy to carry,
and in case we fell they would be
of no use in the ocean. Then, again,
by not carrying them we get away
from just so much weight. We shall
have to carry from 80 to 100 gallons
of gasoline, and this will be enough
for about 80 hours flying. We expect
to make 100 miles an hour on our way
across. Lord Northcliffe has offered
a prize for the successful flight across
the Atlantic, and we are after it."

Petrified Tree Causes Big Question

Petrified Tree Causes Big Question.
Not far from the Sullivan ranch and
near the junction of Cut Bank creek
and Two Medicine creek, Montana,
there is a butte, probably 450 or 500
feet above the surrounding country
and about seven miles in circumfer-
ence, with almost perpendicular sides
The butte is absolutely devoid Of
timbers, but at ohe time on the sum-
NIT there grew a fine straight pine
tree two feet in diameter and not
short Of so to 100 feet high. This is
proved By the fact that the tree now
lies iull length on the ground, cut into
two-foot lengths, the ak marks of the
woocman being plainly discernible in
every cut OF the wood, which is now
petrihed
To fell the tree up hill, as was done,
it had to be chopped almost entirely
on the side toward which it was to
fall, and the peJri1ed stump shows
that this was done. Every one Of the
cuts, which hint Of commercial pUr-
poses for the wood, gives indisputable
evidence of the woodman's ak. The
great wonder is in what age was the
tree cut, what sort of people did the
work and with what sort OF ak?

OLD AGE ONLY A MICR0BE
Scientist Claims 1t ls Not Necessary
That People Should Feel Bur-
dened With Years.

It seems that according to most re-
cent discoveries old age is not a natural
result Of years, but is a microbe. At
least this is claimed by the scientist,
Metchnikof Of the Pasteur institute in
Paris.
1t is not necessary that people
should feel burdened with years and
grow feeble and exhausted as the
months roll into years. All that is
due to a microbe in the body, and
when science can once discover the
antitoxin which can successfully COM
bat the poisonous effects Of the
microbe, we can live on, perhaps not
longer, but without discomfort until
the end comes. FIe bases his theory
on his observations of mammals as
compared with birds
A dog or horse, for instance, shows
distinct signs of senility. They grow
feeble and decrepit and break down
in every way. But birds do not. A
due that IS twenty years old shows
no g;5ns Ct advanced age. Parrots
rorn"in for long years in youthful
state ard retain their brilliant plum
a@a.. IN tho case Of parroquet,
n.Atlh, according to reliable informa-
..-- Is serenity to seyenty-fve years
Old, it is impossible to recognize old
see, SO entirely normal is it's appear
ance and so easy its movements.
The cause, it is claimed, lies in the
in in in
mails and birds. The latter are so
built that the microbes which are so
abundant in the intestines Of the NAM
Ilo,i5 10 not Or cannot accumulate in
the bird. In the mammal they in
crease from year to year, and the
toxic effect from these intestinal
sources produces the phenomena
which we call "old age .''-Chicago
Tribune.
