1t is well known that wood is a poor
conductor of electricity. Whilst trees
to some extent attract the electrical
fluid it does not penetrate the body of
the tree itself; rather does the force of
the current pass down the exterior.
Whether, therefore, a tree be wet or
dry, tc stand near its trunk or under
it's branches is almost like putting
oneself in the way of an electrical dis.
charge. Many deaths have occurred
owing TO the ignorance or carelCssness
of persons scuttling under the trees
for shelter. IT relative safety may be
instanced in degrees such persons are
far safer in the open than beneath the
foliage which keeps them dry, per.
haps. Yet exposes them to far more
serious risk than getting soaked. Il
is far better to be wet than dead.

The public health service reports
that tile number of consumptiyes who
seek cure in change of climate is
steadily increasing, but that the af-
flicted are showing better Judgment
than used to be the case. Time was
when a man stricken with the white
plague would wait till the last min

Mexico, With hardly enough money to

sunshiny weather will give the best
possible results. If a patient has to
choose between home and boarding

chances are strong that he had much
better stay at home.

Will the sl,ipbuilding industry van.
iSh from America With the closing of
the war? The future of this great new
industry must be pondered most care
fully. The reconstruction commission
which is now assured by the action of
the Republicans and Democrats of
congress Will have a most p,1zzling
problem in this. 1t all depends on the
cost of ship construction, writes Thom-
as +. Logan in Leslie's. The British
are today building ships more cheaply
Per ton than We are. Back on peace
basis, they undoubtedly will decrease
these costs. If America fails to do so,
her industry will survive on a large
scale only so long as the after -the-war
emergency shipping is being met.
Then American and foreign companies
will inevitably seek the cheaper yards
of the world to place their contracts.

William was not hero to his own
army, for he Stunned the perils of the
battlefield. He has not been disttn-
guished as a legislator nor as an edu-
Gator. He has had no conception of
human liberty. His mental qualities
are commonplace. Posterity will re-
gard him as more responsible than any
other human being for the sacrifice of
millions of lives in the great war, as
a ruler who might have been henefi-
cent and wise, but attempted to de
Strny the liberties of mankind and to
raise on their ruins an Odous despot.

EeIs Are Eels.

John Treadwell Nichols, assistant
curator Of the department of ichthy-
ology of the American Museum Of Nat
ural History, has done his bit for the
food supply by an effort to lessen the
prejudice against eels.
The chapter of the cookbook devoted
to eels should begin: "First catch
your eel; then forget how it looks"
The trouble with eating eels is at
the start. After the first plate of eels
the reluctant customer is ready for
more. tasssa
Mr.. Nichols assures us that eels
have, in fact, no relationship with
snakes. They have developed their
form and sinuosity by their habit Of
poking into cracks and crannies Of
waterbeds. They are true fishes and
should not be victims of the prejudice
against snakes.
The classic way to cook eels is to
skin them, clean them, cut them into
lengths and fry in butter. 'sMany per-
sons," says Mr.. Nichols, "fnd them
delicious" That's no lie.-Buffalo En-

SEX IN WORDS.

The United States government has
solemnly decided that an aviator is an
aviator. regardless of sex. This deci-
sion is in line with modern usage,
which is finally the controlling influ-
ence in writing and speaking. Gener-
ally for years the tendency has been
to drop the distinguishing sutlix from
words that may rightly be employed to
designate either sex, and thus the
language, both written and spoken, is
teing freed from awkward efforts, the
origin Of which lay deep in mans gall
lantry, but VIII ,ch have lost most, if not
all, of their significance under modern
customs. Woman herself has aided in
this. fter EN- rance into all avenues of
human activity or occupation hal, given
her at least right to share in the full
meaning of tie word that denotes her
position, and not to be set off in a sep
arate class b! the addition of "trix"
or an "ess," intended to show that it
is the female of the species" who is
present, says Omaha Bee. In the case
of the aviator, when arrayed for duty
it is impossible for the casual observer
to distinguish between man and wom-
an. The salne condition holds good
in many other ways, and the change in
the words is but a tribute to woman's
increasing sphere. With the vanishing
of sex from the language, we may re-
new the quest for the impersonal pro-
noun.

A NEWER OUTLOOK,

Like everything else, our faith must
grow and comprehend more. The great
waste of life during the war should
teach us more unforgetfully what a
precious thing life is. Men who have
looked into the face of death on the
battlefield or who have lived after
hours of almost hopeless waiting in
hospitals will treasure their life in a
new way. Sympathy will be as a liv-
ing thing, not Il mere local or selfish
interest in people, but world wide ex-
preston Of tenderness and generous
care for those who are in need to the
uttermost parts of the earth. How
far off now sounds that guilty question
of Cain! We have learned lesson in
cooperation. We are beginning to
know what it means to work together
for a common good. says; Indianapolis
Star. Here is lesson for the church
es. If they fail to see that it is by a
unified endeavor that they can be real
ly true to their trust, they will have
missed the great lesson of the war.
Another great lesson which we are
being taught is the evil of idleness. In
g world where much work is to be
done there is much for everybody.
Idlene9s will be looked upon as GRIM
inal, idleness of money, idlelless Of
time, illeness Of effort.
