Boy Gave World Lamp Chimney.

THE lamp chimney of today was Civ
en- to the world through the misbe-
havior of small boy. The first lamp
having an air chamber was invented
by Swiss, Jules Argand. A wick was
introduced into a hollow tube and the
tube inset into the lamp. As this al
lowed oxygen TO enter the base a
much brighter flame was given than
by any lamp then in use. Jules had a
small brother and as small boys Of
that day were very like the small boys
of today, Jules was instructed TO
watch him, and especially to look out
for fire and little fingers
Jules remembered his instructions
but a few minutes and then became
so busy that his little brother quite
passed from his mind. He was bend
ing over a bench, Straning his eyes to
see some minor defects in his work
when suddenly the room became much
brighter. Jules turned and discovered
the boy with bottomless oil flask
which he had lowered over the wick
of the lamp. The flame had leaped
up the long circular neck of the flask
with greatly increased brilliancy. Ar
gand instantly saw the possibilities be-
fore him and the modern lamp chin
ney was born.

HARD TO ANALYzE FRIENDS
Wife Unable 20 Understand Choice
Made by Her Husband, and He
Is Equally at Sea.

My husbands friends are source
of never-failing psychological interest
to me. | am always trying to discover
why he chose them and what consti-
tutes the secret of their enduring charm
for him. says a writer in the CONT
mental Edition of the London Mail
Not one of them really resembles
him and some possess little traits that
would irritate him in anybody else
Take, for instance, George, who is
always restless; in the garden fingine
about like a boy, with the children
trailing after him; in the house, when
they are in bed, gamboling necessarily
with the kitten, setting the phono-
graph going, whistling. hummng or
vamping on the piano.
He does not know what repose
means, yet he appeals to my husband.
whose most obvious characteristic is
serenity and calm. Then there is Ed
ward with his absurd laugh, a kind
of shrill caCkle that reduces me to icy
pessimism. My husband rarely smiles

of Sundays. Nevertheless, there must
be some fundamental basis of solid
sympathy between the two men, for
Edward is always welcomed heartily,
My husband goes fishing with an
other friend whom | privately call a
grumbler. He must be most depress-
ing. Then he never has a dull mo-
ment when Stephen is at hand ready
to prattle about science. though my
husbands sympathes are completely
classical.
Tidy to righteousness himself, he
does not appear to see how most of his
friends scatter things about when they
stay with us, borrow his books and
either put them back in the wrong
places or never return them at all
leave pipes here and pouches there,
and break again and again the unwrit-
ten laws that rule our household.
At times / see my husband look re-
hectingly at my friends, and the
thought fits across my mind that they
provide him with the food for specu-
lation that his friends give me.
Then l realize that / have never
analyzed my devotion to Mary, or spec
ulated how it is that Roses cOmpan-
ionship is a perennial pleasure.
l suppose we are friends now be-
cause we were children together, or
went to the same school, or met when
happily holiday making.
Anyway there it is. and | expect
if truth were sifted from speculation
causes of the same kind or others as
primitive, rule my husbands choice

ARE VICTIMS OF MANKIND
Why the Domestic Animals So Seldom
Attain the Age Which Nature
Allotted Them.

Domestic animals seldom attain the
age that nature allows them, writes
Jean Henry Fabre in the STORY Book
of Science" We grudge and do not
give them shelter And then we take
from them milk, fleece, hide, flesh, in
fact everything. A dog, at twenty or
twenty-five years, can no longer drag
himself along; a pig is a tottering
veteran at twenty; at fifteen at the
most cat no longer chases mice-it
says goodbye to the joys of the roof
and retires to some corner of granary
to die in peace; the goat and sheep at
ten or fifteen, touch extreme old age;
the rabbit is at the end of its skein
at eight or ten, and the miserable rat,
If it lives four years, is looked upon
among its own kind as a prodigy Of
longevity.
The pigeon may live from six to
ten years; the guinea fowl, hen and
turkey, twelve. The goose attains
twenty-five years. and even good deal
more. The godfnch, sparrow, birds
free from care, always singing always
frisking, happy as possible, with
ray of sunlight in the foliage and
grain of hemp seed, live as long as
the gltttonous goose, and longer than
the stupid turkey. These very happy
little birds live from twenty to twenty
five years.

Considerably Mixed.

We bought him for So from little
negro boy, thinking he was full
blooded Boston bull pup. Like many
bargains, he hasn't turned out so we'll,
but he possesses all the ''cuddly' quail
tiles and clever puppy ways that would
endear him to little Elizabeth, and she
is very fond of him.
One day she was telling an aunt
some of the cute things that the lit
tie dog had done. Auntie wasn't dip
lomatic; she touched on tender
spot.
"What kind of dog is he Eliza
beth? she asked.
"Well, auntie-I think he's partly

Chinese Hold All Writing to
Be Sacred

To millions and millions of Chinese
everywhere all writing is sacred.
Hence it happens that in the average
Chinese community, in this country as
we'll as in others, every scrap Of pa
per, all old letters, and all waste pa
per, are laid aside in a clean recepta-
Gle to await the collector, who appears
waste papers to the sacred furnace.
These waste papers include even
commercial messages and advertise
ments, for, since Confucius used the
same characters whereby to impart
MS wisdom, they are sacred. Should
the papers be burned by the Chinese
In their own homes, it is thought the
ashes of the sacred writings would
mingle with the ashes of wood and
other fuel, and the ashes of the Chi
nese writings are held to be as sacred
as the writings themselves.
Ashes from the sacred furnace are
paced IN sacks. These sacks are con-
Veyed to the sea. and then, in a boat,
are carried out to where the tide runs
swiftly, there being consigned to the
waves. This boat is called the Mon
War boat by reason of the fact that it
IS generally provided by the Mon
war Sher, an organization with
branches everywhere for the mainte-
nance of the spirit of reverence for
the Confucian system.
The furnace in the Chinatown that
nearly every large city in the United
states includes is usually an ovenlike
structure about five feet high. On the
wall opposite there is likely to be seen
some inscription similar to the follow
ing: THE spirits of our ancestors are
pleased that we keep sacred the writ
ings of our country"
The funds necessary for the upkeep
OF this custom are provided alike by
the richest and the humblest of the
citizens of Chinatown.

FRIEND OR CURSE?
Both Designations Have Been
Bestowed on Sleep.
Truth Is That the Hours of SIumber
Can Be Made Subservient to
the Firm Will.

Sleep. at the right Cme, Is one of
mans foremost friends and benefac-
tors: at the wrong time it is curse,
for it comes as the paralyzng incubus
upon his hand and his mind when he
should be broad awake and at his work,
declares a writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
tits a solemn thing to think about,
that if we average eight hours of every
twenty four in slumber we are in the
Land of Nod for a third of our whole
term on earth. At this rate the man
who lives to the age of 60 has spent
twenty years in bed.
1t has made some active spirits irate
against nature and the established
order that they should have to spend
so much time unconscious and unpro-
ductve; the idleness has irked them;
and burning the candle at both ends
in their defiance of physiological laws
they have generally paid for it. The
rule is that we rest not that we NAV
form habits of sloth and self-indul-
gence, but that we may find recreation
and regeneration for the day that fol-
lows night-the day that tests our met
tie, and urges to endeavor. Sleep is
supposed to send us back into the frav
clear eyed, serene, corroborated Il
climb when l lie down." said that
poet of the mystics, Henry Vaughan,
and by it he meant that his finite
mortality had risen star by star till it
laid hold upon infinity. The apparent
humility was an aspiration. He stood
at heavens gate not by the pride of
life, not by self-assertion, not by be-
ing egocentric, but in the modification
of vanity and with all Christening
and subduing Of the soul"
Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stew
enson were two of no small number of
writer's who wrote in bed because of
the comfortable relaxation and the
seclusion. The wits of neither were
benumbed, and you could not call
either of these prolific and successful
authors lazy. But it does not follow
that their mimic in respect to recum-
bent posture for authorship will sue
coed in copying their happy graces in
the way of a literary style
The strong man seeks a workroom,
not resting place. He stays at work
till his work is done. He trains him
self-with an Edison-not to let him
self sleep till he has tracked the shy
idea he is hunting to its lair. Men
who have followed an engineering
career afield-men who have fought
war-men who have sailed a ship
through a storm-men of action in all
times and placeS-can (if they willy
tell us how they have made sleep sub
servient to their own iron wills. They
have done their duty and let the
respite wait till the task was ended
and the wage was earned.

Five hundred million dollars is
lot of money, and yet that is the esti-
mate of what the American people
this year are spending for furs. The
tyade expectation IS that this winter
will prove a recordbreaker. Imports
for 1920 bid fair to be fully six times
larger than during the average year
preceding the war as far back as 1900.
When the imports are analysed in
detail an astonishing number of hare
and rabbit skins appear, although fair
ness to the trade demands the state
ment that much of this fur is used in
making felt for hats. Last year the
United States imported 144,255,0OO fur
skins and 114S19.000 of them were
worn originally by the humble hare
or modest rabbit.
If the estimate be correct that $50
million animals are now slain every
year for the sake Of their furs, nature
will need to be wonderfully productive
If determination is to be ayerted.
