How the Heart Beats.

A normal heart, from long before
birth to death, beats roughly once a
second, and if it stops beating at any
time Of day or night or weekday or
Sunday for as long as sixty seconds It
never begins beating again. The nor
NAL beat begins at the top of the heart
and runs down to the bottom of the
heart with the regularity of a toss
running down the length of rope
When the toss, however, instead of
running regularly down the length of
the rope, scatters its force and merely
sets the rope shaking feebly through
out its length it loses its force, and
in the same way when the beat of the
heart instead of running regularly and
easily down from the top of the heart
to the bottom merely sets the heart
feebly a-quiyer We have the condition
called filtration.

ALL TOLD IN SHORT WORDS
Greatest Things Of Human Life Elk
pressed In Letters That Do Not
Exceed Five In Number.

Writers who forever are striving to
develop a vocabulary of long and odd
words to impress the dear reader
would do well to remember that, the
greatest things Of human life are ex-
pressed by words of not more than
five letters writes E. P. In the Kansas
Editor.
The word 81" claims first considera-
ton under the classification. II" con-
tains the minimum as regards letters
and, casting bushes aside, really
stands above all things else with the
human herd.
Passing on to words of two letters
do" and "if" Immediately suggest
themselves as being mighty factors In
the daily grind of human affairs.
At the head of the list of three-let'
Ter words stands "God," followed by
"air," the most essential of the essen
tial. In this list, too, Is war" also
claw" and art" Continuing. a most
disagreeable trio appears in tax, owe
and dun" each undeniably mixed up
with mans little whirl. Then come
two words of great argument, wet"
and dry" and at the end the most
popular noun and verb, "pie" and
"eat."
In words of four letters there are
"life" itself and many of the most
vital things of life-"lOve, home, hope
food, work, news rest, song, hair bald,
golf, vote, bank, rent and coal.'
Finally comes the five-letter group
containing the beginning and the end
of mans story-"birth. heart, blood
faith, woman, money, child, mlrth'
drink (water, milk or tea, of course)'
dance, motor, train, paper. ouija'
Sleep death and grave"
So why seek long words to tell the
tales of life when each big vital thing
is short, when one must spell 1t, and
gives the hint, "be brief, old Top, be
hlief!"

Airs Density CHANCES.

Job spoke Of the bottles" of heaven.
and st. Augustine and others thought
there were windows in heaven, and as
these were opened or closed so the
rain began and ended. But that was
long ago. Even MS late as the middle
of the eighteenth century the chemical
nature of the air was not known. If
the density Of the atmosphere re-
manned constant it could all be COM
pressed into a layer about five miles
thick. In that case the highest noun
tain peaks would stand out in space
piercing the so-called homogeneous
atmosphere. But the density de-
creases with elevation, and when the
aviator reaches an elevation of 10000
meters he is in a medium which is only
about one-third as dense as at the
ground. There are no clouds above
this level.

Monserrat, the famous shrine In the

have on men. When you climb to the
top OF high mountain you feel wor-

Monserrat is an outlying spur of the
Pyrennees which stands all alone,
splendidly dominating rich plain. 1t
is one of the most ancient and famous
of Catholic shrines. According to
legend, many centuries ago an image
of the Virgin was found at the top Of
the mountain, and ii was impossible to
move the image. Thus it was shown
10 men that they should build shrine
on MOnSerrat.
In medieval times it was shrine of

shrine and carried away the orna-

Now the church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame

Yet Monserrat will always be a shrine.

Before Christ the Romans had a tenn

Iron Germs

In the same manner that coral is de-
rived from certain minute sea-insects
who flourish in the South Pacific, so
certain iron ores are obtained from
particular microscopic organisms.
That is the latest scientific discovery,
which promises interesting develop
ments.
1t has been proved that these germs
not only aid in the decomposition Of
rocks and in the formation of chalk
and limestone, but play an active part
in the forming of iron-ore deposits.
Laboratory cultures have been made
of bacteria which deposit iron COM
