WHY-=-
Whistline May Be Called
Sign of Independence

Whstling is the boys own music. 1t
Is as natural for him 10 whistle as
II is for bird to sing-although the
music is not always as melodlous. But
whistling, like certain other practices,
is restrained in society by unwritten
rules of etiquette. 1t Is interesting
TO view this subject from the stand
point Of manners.
A boy reprimanded, a servant dis
missed, gees away whistling, II he
dares. He wishes to express contempt.
and he succeeds at least In enraging
his master generally. A hObbledehOy
who commits some breach Of the pro-
prieties commonly bursts into whis-
tie. This is to save his face, mean
ing no harm; but 1t signifies II don't
care!" which is just the reverse Of the
apology needed. At best II shows In
difference; at worst, as the dullest
feel, insult and provocation.
Boswell tells little story Of whis-
tling. illustrating the independent sig-
nificance. Johnson and he were din
ing with the duke of Argyll, who
asked gentleman present to fetch
some curiosity from another room. The
gentleman brought the wrong article,
and the duke sent him back.
The exact position of this gentle
man to his host is undsclOsed. How
ever, Boswell says: "He could not re-
fuse; but to avoid any appearance of
servility he whistled as he went out
Of the room. On my mentioning this
afterward to Doctor Johnson, he said
II was a nice trait of character"
Boswell grasped with ease the OBJ
lection, which is unintelligible to some
persons.
"The gentleman desired to show his
independence" That is always the
motive Of whistling, when It has any.
You very often see young barbarian
survey his fellow passengers and then
fall whistling deliberately. But cul-
tured persons and quite common
folk in some localities are trained to
regard politeness toward strangers as
q duty.

Flattery Is Easily Swallowed
by Most People

1t is impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
Still to remain ON terms Of friendship
with him, is the opinion of the New
Statesman, London. There is little
friendship without make-believe. If
two men are close friends. you may
take 1t that they have been pretend
Ing to considerably higher estimate
OF each other than they would set
down in a perfectly honest diary.
1t Is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to one another, but
they must discreetly conceal cer-
tain amount of the criticism that is
going on all the time behind the bones
Of their skulls.
What Is said In spirit Of truth is
set down to malice. Can a man be
your friend II he steals the crown from
your head? Can he be your friend
even II he steals a single Jewel frsm
your crown-especially the paste jew
81? We have all-the greatest and
the meanest of us-paste Jewels in eur
crowns. Will true friend point them
cut to a world that Is already over
much inclined to scOff? Or will he not
rather organize claque that will pre-
tend to De dazzled by diamonds?
Man is not only a realist. He Is Al
20 lover of romance. He dreams
Of what he would be quite often ~
he deplores what he is. He cannot
help being attracted by people whs
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such intense
cyclists that they can believe In the
truth Of their dreams without any as
sistancc from other people. Southey
agreed that his 'Madoc" was ''the best
English poem since Paradise Lost"
There was no need to tell him SO,
ne knew 1t already.

Why Some Dyes Are Dangerous.

Recently, at a meeting of the Medi-
cal Society Of Vienna. Doctor Sachs
demonstrated an excised index finger
of woman who had injured 1t some
time ago with thread Of black cotton.
Soon after this slight injury the fin
ger became sore, boils and bullae ap-
peared. and liberation ensued I'm spite
Of regular treatment. Necrosis (lOcal
death) followed. and the finger had to
be removed. Examination by bnc-
teriOlOgists and chemical experts show.
ed that micro-organisms were not the
cause Of the trouble. but that the chem.
ical dye used in the process Of manu-
featuring the cotton was responsible.
The dye is known as "ice-black." a
coal-tar dye; its poisoning effect was
noticed some time ago. and is similar
to the evil effects. Of the dye with
which the so-called ink pencil is
charged. ..,.

BEYOND ENDURANCE OF MAN
Why Temperature Of Some Parts q
the Tropics Renders Human Life
impossible.

The range Of temperature variation
OF the human body is 50 small as to
be practically negligible In comparison
with the wide differences which OBJ
tain in nature. In order that life may
continue, the temperature of the blood
must be essentially the same in the
arctic regions as 1t IL at the eQua-
tor. For cold climates the tempera-
ture can be maintained by artificial
sources and by clothes which conserve
the heat. Life. however, Is continued
where the temperature Of the air is
above that Of the body. In this case
the heat which the body continues to
produce is dissipated without jmpor-
tant increase Of body temperature by
evaporation pfgmoisture In the lungs
and over the surface of the body.
There must, however, be some limiting
condition beyond which life will be
impossible. According to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine 1t has been found
that where the temperature of the air
exceeds that Of the body. there Is for
each combination OF temperature and
humidity, wind velocity above which
heat will he added to the living body
by contact or convection, more rapidly
than 1t can be removed by evaporation.
Under these conditions life cannot con-
tinue. AS an example II Is stated that
when the humidity Is eight per cent
and the air temperature is l22 degrees
Fahrenheit, life becomes impossible
with wind velocity Of Is meters
tabout 400 feet) per second, and that
this may exNain the fatal simeon.

SEEK TREASURE IN VIG0 Ray
Company Under Spanish Grant Will
Endeavor to Recover Some Hun
dred Million Dollars.

The largest amount Of sunken treas
ure there is any record Of lies at the
bottom Of vigo bay, on the coast Of
Spain. Here Spanish plate feet Of
II great galleons and their escort Of
q warships were sunk 300 years ago
by combined feet Of English and
Dutch war vessels.
There Is no guesswOrk about the
amount of treasure on board the gal
Icons. 1t Is matter Of official record
and Is placed in the neighborhood Of
$140,00O,OOO, which at the time when
there was very little money In the
world had purchasing power ten
times greater than now.
OF this immense sum a little was
landed, taken inland and saved. A
few millions fell as spoil to the victors
and the balance has served as bait
to draw adventurers from everywhere
to Vigo bay. A heavily financed COM
pany even now. under a concession
from the King of Spain. is trying to
salvage the sunken galleons and their
cargOes.
All in all, not more than 20 millions
have been saved from the sea, in
Guiding that landed, that captured and
that reclaimed by the various firms
to whom concessions have been grant.

safe to say that at least 100 millions

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June Big export business and bullish crop estimates lifted the wheat market today to new high price record for the season. Closing quo tations were nervous at If to 3 3-4c, Net advance with July $140 1-2 to S1.40 3-k Cdrn gained IA to 1-2c; oats lost Is to 1-4c, and provisions finished unchanged to 2oc higher.
 Seaboard interests were heavy buyers in the wheat pit, and it was said that as much as 2.500,00 bushes had been worked for export. Gossip was also current that exporters at Kansas City were taking all offerings and were com peting with domestic mills. Moreover q statement from leading authority here indicated yield of only 258,O00, 900 bushels in six states, as against 349,- 100000 bushels suggested by the govern ment May returns. In view of the scan- tiness of the visible supply and of the 2"tivity of exporters, declines which re- suited from rains were without any last in" influence as price making factors, all trough the last dry spot in Kansas was
 'orted to have been thoroughly soaked. Ire topmost point reached today by t'" July delivery, s141 1-2, showed an anvance of about forty cents a bustlel since April
 Oats derived its firmness from wheat and from word that Holland was a buyer of corn to the extent of 500,- 0o9 bushels. Better crop reports tend cd to ease the oats market.
 Provisions rallied with wheat and corn after being depressed earlied by an nouncement of a huge increase of the stock Of lard here.

 Only one blow was landed in the fourth round and Goldie delivered this to liar his jaw as the bell struck. The fifth and sixth rounds were about even with Harris doing all the leading and Goldie missing several hooks apparently unable to measure his distance. The seventh round went to Harris by a slight margin. In the eighth round Harris opened up and poor Jackie Goldie took to sitting on the ropes again. Harris battered Goldie to his knees four times in this round as he was going to his knees for the fifth time Goldie's second threw in the sponge Goldie, however claimed he was far from beaten and was very much grieved that he should be forced to quit the ring Goldie was a game little lad but showed that he had lost much of his old time cleverness and speed.

The little lads showed all the science of the older ring stars and if they improve with age the sporting world may look for some thing big from them in years to come.
 The first real bout of the evening was short lived lasting only one minute and forty seconds. Jack Carbray when he stepped into the ring was in the best con iti0n that local people have ever seen hin. There was not an ounce of surplus sat on his body and his work was ex- cepttpnally good. His opponent, Charlie Sullivan of Springfield, looked good, but when it came 10 boxing he was not there. After a few seconds of sparring Carbray Jet loose a wicked left to the stomach with a wicked force and a second or two later let go another that found the same mark Sullivan with hardly a breath of ind in his body turned his back to Car bray and stood in the corner gas3ing. Car bray waited for him to turn around and in the miXup that followed Carbray hit -o the jaw and then to the ear, Sullivan going down for the count. It was the Erst two body blows that put Sullivan out os the fight and the bows to the head put on the finishing touches.
 L2 the second bout between Bugs" SEaaaH and Tommy Lyons of Central Village, the first round was a 20 with lonors about even. Shahan getting in some hard punches to the head and mouth while Lyons played for the body. Jn the seccnd round Lyons came iron, !Cs corner fighting and caught Shaiian ,ow. ShahaH went 70 the mat apparently fouied but got up again and resumed -he battle. In the fighting that followed Lyons forced Shahan Co the corner a. | let loose an upper cut that caught sAahan on the point of the jaw sending him down for the count
 The main bout between Goldia and Harris was more or less of farce but having it's god points. and some fast boxing at intervals. The thing that dis rlsted the crowd was Goldie's continual sailing for time and going 10 his knees 70 get the count Goldic showed that h= tad been god boy in his day but that ihat now he ha dlost his eye and was un- able 70 measure his man.
