WRITER MUST HAVE STYLE
Without 1t, Declares Arnold Bennett,
He Will Be Unable to Get His
Message Understood.

You cannot have good matter with
bad style. Examine the point more
closely. A man wishes to convey a
fine idea to you. He employs a form
OF words. That form Of words is his
style. Having read, you say: Eyes,
this idea is fine" The writer has
therefore achieved his end. But In
what imaginable circumstances can
you say. YES, this idea is fine, but
the style is not fne?" The sole me-
dunn of communication between you
and the author has been the form Of
words. The fine idea has reached you.
Flow? In the words, by the words.
Hence the fneness must be in the
words. You may say, superiority: HE
has expressed himself clumsily, but
I a see what he means" BY what
light? By something in the words,
In the style. That something is fine.
Moreover, if the style is clumsy, are
you sure that you can see what he
means? You cannot be quite sure.
And at any rate, you cannot see dis
tinctly. The matter" is what actually
reaches you, and it must necessarily be
affected by the style.-Arnold Bennett.

HEART OF CHICKEN
lives EIGHT YEARS
Dr.. Alexis carrel Makes Remark
able Experiment in Prolonga-
ton of Living Tissues.

One Of the most remarkable experi-
ments in the indefinite prolongation Of
living tissues by artificial methods, it
became known in New York, is the
specimen Of a chickens heart extract
ed from egg in the embryonic state
eight years ago, which has not only
retained the spark of life but had
grown many times it. original size.
This minute organism was removed
from its natural gestative place by DR..
Alexis Carrel, noted surgeon, in Janu-
airy, 1912, in an attempt to sustain it's
growth under scientific conditions.
In 1914 Doctor Carrel was called to
Europe and entered the medical
corps of the French army. Since that
time scientists connected with the
Rockefeller foundation have given but
little information of the miniature
chicken heart which responded to the
hand Of science.
Now the announcement comes from
Doctor Carrel that the organism is
still functioning and, disbarring ac-
cidents, will live and continue to grow
Indefinitely.
The organism has been nourished
regularly while cultured in an anti
septic solution. From information OBJ
tainable, it was said, in this expert
ment, Doctor Carrel has gone further
than any scientists in his quest for
the Immortality Of living tissues.
Doctor Carrel was awarded the
Nobel prize in 1912 in recognition Of
his surgical achievements.

Clean Up the Trash pile

It matters not whether we live in

Rents Hiqh in Stone Age.

Southern California had apartment
profteers back in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries, according to a
scientific correspondent whose inves-
tigation Of the stone age dwellings,
hewn out of solid rock, has convinced
him that keeping up an apartment
never was a snap. At the entrance
to one six-apartment cavern he found
hieroglyphics, which he has deciph-
cred to mean the rates for apart
ments as follows:
One abalone, one sun.
Two abalones, two suns.
Three abalones, three suns.
Twelve abalones, one moon.
Our correspondent figures that the
home hunters among the Pimugna
Indians had to pay at the rate Of one
abalone a sleep, or day, or IL abalones
per lunar month. The cave was the
largest on the island and comprised
the apartment house de luxe of that
period. A short distance below the
entrance to the stone apartment house
The professor found a huge pile Of
empty abalone shells, proving that the
landlord did a NOR or less rushing
business.

DOES NOT BELONG IN CITY
When the Arabian Musical Instrument,
the Arghul, Comes to Town.
It Deuenerates.

In Cairo the arghul is played at
night in the old city, and OF the
streets Of the underworld, lending its
note and Interpretation to love songs
that somehow follow when everything
else in life has been lost or left be-
hind. writes Robert Hamilton Rucker
in Asia Magazine. At an Arabian
cafe an old man from the street will
play and young men will sing while
the coffee is being made. The arghul
sings with each and talks with each,
s~ympathizes, understands and seems so
earnest a to make n half believe
that the young a is singing from
his own heart and that the arghul,
long accustomed to such confidence.
knows it full well.
But, like many Of the country bred,
1t cen to degenerate when it comes
to town. 1t falls upon evil ways; it
sings of love to the loveless; it hovers
about the low cafes. Its friend, the
tabla-more pretentious, and perhaps
more astute-changes its name when
it comes to town and does not appear
alone. at night in dark, unfrequented
streets. 1t is known as the darabukeh.
and is seer in the high-class cafes
where favorites dance to the music
it brings. 1t has more rhythm than
melody; much volume but little feel
ing. 1t talks from the head and sings
to the feet.
But the arghul is all sentiment and
sympathy. It's place is the desert; its
home, we knew as we listened there
on the rugs in front of u tents, is
in the wastes of the sandy plain and
the stiffness of the starlit night.

American and Other Bids Rejected,
Being too High.
The Spanish State Railway admin
istration invited bids some months
ago for $500 railroad cars and sew
eral hundred locomotives. When the
bids were opened, says the Economis-
ia, it was found that Spanish firms,
among them shipyards that were on
the point of shutting down, had sub
mitted the lowest bids. Therefore,
$500 railway cars will be built in that
country. 1t is the first time such large
orders have been placed with Spanish
firms.
Orders for the greater part of the
locomotives were given to German To-
connective works, while a small order
went to the Belgian CockeriH Works.
The American, English and French
bids were rejected because they were
too high.

According TO Rhine. the pair had
