ALL HUMANITY MUCH ALIKE
onis in Early Life Does the Average
Man Imagine He Is Different
From Others.

One Of the great discoveries that
come to us as we advance In life Is the
fact that deep down In the human
heart all men are alike. In early life
we think we are different from the
rest of the world, but as years go by
we find that this is not so. that other
men have the same hopes and aspira'
tions, the same troubles and anxieties,
the same yearnings after happiness
and peace. We learn this from our
friends, from those who tell US their
troubles and ask for sympathy and ad-
vice. Then we learn 1t from books |;
from the works Of great poets and
writer's, and especially from biogra-
plies and photographs.
AS q child was sensitive and shy,
and felt that I was peculiar In this re-
spect, and different from the others,
who always seemed to take themselves
for granted. And yet l have discov'
cred that this is the universal lot OF
all men. G. Stanley Hall speaks OF
a "newly revealed and grave danger
that works countless tragedies In life
that the child's feelings OF inferiority
should become dominant and make him
feel In his earliest years that he ID
condemned 10 low level Of existence,
without respect, appreciation, admira'
ton or love-" Thus the chronic teaser
or hector may do great mischief to the
tender soul of the child. The child Ii
always asking himself subconsciously.
"Do I look worse or better than
othersT
This tendency lasts with most men
all their lives. We are all the time
comparing our lot with that Of others.
AS Emerson says: Every ship looks
romantic except the one we are on )"
and again, Every mans life seems to
him covered with the slime Of failure
and defeat, while that Of others seems
ideal" 1t is a great help to know that
men are alike in this respect. l could
give long list of well-known men and
women who suffered from this sense of
inferiority, incapacity and defeat, fol-
lowed by moods of gloom and melan-
choly-men like Tennyson, Ruskin,
Lowell, Symonds. John Stuart Mill,

Til. Balls of Michael, Mount.

The pealing Of joy bells In the year
1919 has made up for many years OF
silence in the ancient belfries OF Eu-
rope. Somebody deplores that on the
occasion Of the peace the one remain
Ing bell of st. Michaels Mount on the
Brittany coast, should not have been
rung. There would have been a GER
tain piquancy In hearing the clang OF
that bell, the gift in I'LL Of the abbot
from across the Rhine who, be 1t said,
reigned at the Mount only by proxy.
But st. Michael's Mount is without its
bells; even the abbot's bell which used
to warn and guide the fishermen out
on the bay has ceased to ring. The
old abbey's peal was busy indeed, dur
ing the Hundred Years War, warning
the countryside Of the approach Of the
enemy. In the Revolution the order
went forth that the bells should be
melted down, but It was never carried
out. In the intervening years all the
bells have disappeared except the one
given by the German dignitary.

FOOD FOR CREW OF AIRsHIP
Most Careful Consideration Had to
Be Given to Proper Neurlshmsnt
Of Daring NavIoatora

The average housewife would hold
up her hnnds in horror at the thought
of cooking and providing for thirty
men during a four days aerial voy-
age.
Yet this was only one of the tasks,
and by no means the most important.
which confronted the organizers OF
the r 34's trip to America and BACK
remarks London Tit-Bits. When 1t Is
remembered that the men had to
conform to the rigid limitations OF
the accommodation, the task assumes
even more formidable proportions.
While the provisioning of the crew
takes a back place, relatively, when
compared with the navigation and
other scientific arrangements, diet was,
nevertheless, a subject requiring the
most careful consideration. The d.
gestive organs, If impaired, react at
once upon the nervous system, and In
an enterprise of such a daring char
acter as the flight nerves had to be
tenderly nourished.
The medical department Of the air
ministry was early consulted and de-
vised a menu consisting mainly OF
meat. bread. cheese, chocolate, tea'
eggs, and potatoes.
Then came the problem OF cooking
and the R34 has surely the strangest
kitchen existing. Instead Of fixing an
electrical or other usual type Of stove,
the hot exhaust gases from one OF the
motor engines were trapped, and led
around a receptacle shaped for boiling
or frying, the heat thus obtained be-
ing sufficient to meet all the require
ments. There were three Of these
boilers provided altogether-one In the
fore car to hold three pints, and one
In each wing car to hold one and a
half gallons. By means Of these,
soups and hot sustaining drinks were
able to be made.
The type Of flying clothing provided
for the crew Is another example OF
the attention paid to detail to give the
flight every chance Of success. Each
member Of the ships complement was
provided with two complete suits OF
silk undertaking. Over this, wooden
gear, similar to that provided for sub
marine crews and divers, was worn.

Deer Increasing In California


Though the game reserve established
In the greater portion of the Angeles
forest reserve in California, which In.
cludes the San Bernardino and Sierra
Madre Mountains, has been In exist
ence but two years. wild deer are null
tiplying rapidly, according to forestry
officials. It Is believed that within a
few years great herds Of deer will be
roaming the hills. Deer have been on
the verge of determination In the
Southern California mountains, but es-
tablishment Of the preserve Is protect
ing the herds. Even now deer often ap-
pear along the boundary lines Of the
restricted area, and at times wander
into cities near the foothills, seeming
to be very tame. The forestry service
will establish special patrols along the
reserve during the coming hunting
season to see that the law Is not vio-
lated.-Chrlstian Science Monitor.
