MATHEMATICS VS.. THE ARTS
Association 10 Awakening to the Fact
Study OF the Former 10 Not
Attractive.

The Mathematical Association Of
America has discovered that interest
in the study of mathematics in high
schools and college preparatory insti-
tutions is tagging.
Under present methods Of teaching,
only the mathematically inclined are
able to pursue the courses with any
degree Of interest or enjoyment. It
will be good news to thousands Of stu
dents, badly wtnded after a feverish
pursuit Of the elusive x, to learn that
the association plans reforms.
Mathematics has been dry for most
students. Young minds that thrill to
the mysteries revealed by physics or
chemistry have been found singularfy
calm and considerably cloudy after
contemplation of the binominal theor-
EN-. Extracting the cube root Of
an incomprehensible number has
been the dullest sort Of drudgery com
pared with the study Of the Ma
poleonic wars or the glory that
was Greece and the grandeur that
was Rome. The melodies Of dead
poets and the masterpieces Of literary
geniuses have warmed hearts and
fired minds which Euclid leaves cold
and calm. The energy expended and
the brain cells shattered in prodigious
wrestling matches with decimal frac-
tons, logarithms, algebralc absurdi-
ties Vp0mptric OhScuritipS and frip-
onometric absurdities have constituted
an enormous waste.
1t is well that the mathematicians
have awakened to the fact that their

costly as the gold and silver, have

n an Early Aga.

Greco Darling, OLE Of the greatest
heroines Of British marine history,
won undytnE fame when but twenty
three years old, and OF frail physique,
BY accompanying her father, and IN
sptring him to the effort of saving the
lives Of some passengers on a ship
wrecked In 4 terrific gale that swept
the seas near her island home.
The Forfarshire sailed from Hull
with % cabin passengers, 10 steer
age passengers and a crew OF 20 on
q day In September. 1888 Passage
was made through the Farne islands
channel, and the ship entered Ber-
wick bay. Here the gale was at Its
worst, and the ship WAS swept on the
Farne island rocks.
The mate and eight Of the crew,
with one cabin passenger, hurried
away in a lifeboat. The screams Of
the other survivors were heard by
Grace Darling. When her father hes
1tated to launch their lifeboat on the
heavy sea, she jumped into it, and he
followed her. On the first trip they
rescued nine, and on a later trip her
father saved four more. The British
government gave her a money grant
and the public, thrilled by the story
raised huge subscription list. -Four
years later Grace Darling died Of con-
sumption.

HAVE ANIMALS SIXTH SENSES
Hard Otherwise to Explain How Wild

Frightened by the noises Of battle
the wild beasts Of East, Central and
West Central Africa went scurrying
north and south, travelling sometimes
hundreds of miles in their fright and
taking refuge In localities entirely new

But just as the ruins Of northern
France have drawn human beings back

Human beings have their various
avenues Of sending news, chief among
these the newspapers, the post and

Whatever the method Of communion

the news quickly.
Peace was no sooner accomplished
than the African natives began to see
the homeward migration of whole
companies of wild beasts through their
territories, animals never familiar

obviously passing through.
Four yenrs previously they had
come crashing through the under

Moslems ignore Mourning,

No mourning is worn by the ortho-
dox Turks of the Moslem religion, nor
are periods Of seclusion observed by
the Osmanli tribes or by most other
Moslems after the death Of O rela-
tive. Women friends pay visits of
coincidence to the harem, but the In
mates-after thanking their guests for
their formal expression Of sympathy
and good wishes for their future ex-
emption from bereavement speak
calmly and resignedly of the departed.
If q child has died the mother and
her relatives even rejoice before their
friends. For according to Moslem
tenets it Is considered sinful to show
expressive sorrow over the death Of
a child. To do so Is also thought det-
rimental to the repose Of the child's
soul and his happiness In paradise

Venice Once Supreme CITY,

4 few centuries ago Venice was the
gateway for the commerce Of all cen
trail Europe, particularly to and from
the Near East. 1t was here that the
merchants of the earth congregated
and many money lenders piled their
vocation of collecting usury.
The Rialto bridge, made famous by
Shakespeare's THE Merchant Of
Venice" still stands. This structure
once afforded a meeting place for mer-
chant princes to discuss the business
Of the world. In those days Venice
was among the most important Of sea-
ports. Its harbor was constantly alive
with merchant ships, as well as pas
senger vessels. 1t is still unique city,
in that its streets are chiefly water
ways or canals, but although still q
city beautiful, and far famed for its
fine arts, its glory and importance a.
a commercial center have passed

French Like Civil Weddings.

4 French marriage Is a thorough
going affair. 1t is real partnership.
To begin with, the ceremony is usu-
ally civil one. Comparatively few
weddings take place in q church. There
are no vows as to mutual liberation for
better or for worse But the French
husband and wife marry to take up
each others burdens, and then carry
them together until the end Of the
journey.
This can be traced to several cases.
One is that young people are linked
together in France with a view to
their practical well-being as well as to
their sympathies. A girl who is an
artist does not marry q boot1naker.
And shopkeeper rarely thinks of
joining his fortune to any but q shop
keepers daughter or a business girl
The classes do not intermingle IN
marriage, not because Of snobbishness,
but because it is not pracdcal.-From

AS TO FACTS AND FIGURES
Nature Seems to Have Laid Dow,
Some Rules to Which She Rath-
er RlgdIy Adhered

Why do tall persons have narrow
noses? There are many exceptions,
but this Is the rule.
The type Of the nose that we call
"aquiline" is much more common in
tall people than in those Of short
stature. On the other hand, short
people are much more apt to have
flat or snub noses.
Tall men are usually ong-headed,
while most short men have round or
broad heads.
Tall persons usually have small
mouths, It is the short people who
mostly have big mouths
Short people In great majority of
instances have short or round faces
Long faces 20 more often with supe-
rior height
This is not at all surprising. Tall
people have q tendency to lon@neSs
throughout their anatomical structure
Usually their noses are long Their
arms and legs are long The height
of most very tall persons is mainly
in their legs Short people, on the
other hand, are apt to be short in all
parts of their physique.
