WAYSIDE WISDOM

TO A LUCKLESS CHILD.

VOU play, we'll guarded, with expensive
toys
Where all the worldly comforts are
supplied,
But there is no one else to share your joys,
And there is something more you are
denied;
The one who ought to watch with tender
care,
And listen when you say your evening
prayer
Spares little of her time to think of
you;
Her gems and beauty claim attention where
The many gaze with envy at the few.
IN those far-distant years when gray shall
CLEAN
Among the thinning locks upon your
brow,
You never may sit down alone to dream
Such dreams as l sometimes sit dream
When, in my fancy. can feel the light.
Soft touch of loving hands! And in the
night
The little prayers learned beside Her
knee
Are oft recalled, as If Her spirit might
Have stolen back to whisper them to me
WHEN you shall look across the past
w where lie
The scattered fragments of your child
HOOu years,
What memories will you have for her? You
sigh
Against a nurses breast, and waste
tears
Where there is lack of soulful sympathy
At night you kneel beside a servauts knee,
From. you loves richest treasure Is corr
. cealed:
You gaze not into eyes where you may see
The tenderness of motherhood revealed.
CHE has no time to kiss your tears away,
~ Or teach the little prayers that you
should learn;
She looks her proudest where the scene is
gay, e..
And rouses foolish envy in return.
y Unlucky child! Denied the love supreme,
In those far-distant years when gray shall
gleam ..
Among the thinning locks upon your
brow
You will ever sit alone and dream
Such dreams as I sometimes sit dream
ing now.

Talking to Mars

n ECENTLY the planet Mars
came quite close to the earth
~ CLOSE in a star sense, al
though that means many millions
of miles. There was a great deal
of talk about the people on Mars
communicating by radio with the
earth. Mr.. Marconi, who stands
at the front in the radio field,
spoke of having noticed some mes
sages which seemed to have a longer
wave length than any known on
earth and said that he suspected
that Mars was trying to get in
touch with this planet.
The question that occurred to
most of us was, How can Martians
talk with us when we do not speak
the same languagef Two people
at distance could not communi-
cate by telegraph message, nor
indeed by telephone. if they had
not the same speech.
There is a way, however, to over
come this difficulty. 1t is by pic
lures or diagrams.
ALREADY pictures have been sent
by radio across the Atlantic Ocean.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that not far in the future even
moving pictures can be sent at
great distance by radio.
The only way in which Mars
could communicate with us is in
such manner. OF course there
may be practical difficulties that
render this impossible, but as
matter of theory it is not impos-
sible.
Two famous Scandinavian scien-
lists. DR.. Stormer, of Norway, and
DR.. Arrhenius, of Sweden, consider
it feasible that the Martians can
hurl electrons into space of suffi-
clent power to control the Aurora.
Edison also believes that some
heavenly body is trying to COM
municate with us and has predict
ed that wireless from star to star
will be an accomplished thing
within the next few years.

Americas
T." - Genius

THE patent system of the
United States has been the
i bulwark Of American inven-
tive genius, The few lines that
inspired it in the Constitution was
one of the wisest things the Fathers
did. 1t has given to the American
inventor such surety and reward
that the constructive mechanical
brains Of this country lead the
world. ...,.., D..
Despite all this, a new political
organization called the Liberal
Backboners' League" has, among
other ultra-radical planks in its
platform, one providing for the
abolition of patents and the reward
Of inventors by Government
bonus or salary.
Inventors do not work for the
glory of it or the fun of it. They
are entitled to all the money they
can rightly make. A committee
would have to be gifted with
omniscience to determine a just
amount in advance. The inventor
Of the rubber return-ball made a
million dollars on his invention.
He deserved it because it brought
in sufficient money to justify the
amount. The committee would prob
ably have awarded $106.50.
What bonus or salary would
they have given Bell, Marconi,
Edison, Mccormick, Mergenthaler,
Fulton, Goodyear, Westinghouse,
the Wright brothers, and a host
of other inventive geniuses who
have added billions to the wealth
of industry!

Something to Think About
by Bruno Lessing--
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

MISS NEYsA McMElN' who
N draws magazine covers, is
the latest one to select the most
beautiful women Of america. I
want to go on record as heartily
agreeing with her choice.
First on the list she has Alice
Joyce. In explanation Of her
selection, Miss McMein said:
IF, when I die. I go to heav-
en-, all I'n going to ask for is to
BE made like Alice Joyce"
never saw Alice Joyce, but
I'm with Miss McMein.
NEXT she puts Mrs. Lydie
~ Hoyt, who. she says, "sug-
gests a black panther ready to
spring into action" Me for black
panthers.
Then she mentions a winifred
Lenihan who has the head Of
an old Greek coin," Mrs. Jack
Barrymore who, "is like a por-
trait Of a beautiful youth by
Raeburn, come to life" Hebe
Huban who ''is like n spray Of
apple blossoms" and Mary Pick.
ford. who has been "acknowl.
edged by the world, leaving
nothing more for an individual
to say"
I never saw any Of this quar-
tette, but I'm for Greek coins,
Raeburn, apple blossoms and the
world.

THE SPECTATOR
Il The TUeLUe Best Melodies

MIR. KALISCH has recently given list
Vl of what he considers the twelve best
melodies
existing civilization, is the tune. That
musical emotion which is awakened in large
crowds is always more appealed to by a
melody than by any sort of harmony. Mel
ody is the democrat, and harmony Is the
aristocrat in music.
It is very difficult to conceive Of a mel
ody apart from its harmony and rhythm,
and almost impossible to conceive of 1t
apart from its suggestions and emotional
DUT making all due allowances, here is
ID Mr.. Kalisch's lisa: Bach, the slow
movement from the concerto for two vio-
Inns, with the slow movement fron the
major violin concerto as an alternative;
Mozart, Dove Sono"; Beethoven, the chief
melody of the slow movement of the b
flat piano trio and the opening subject OF
the slow movement of the seventh SYM
phony; Schubert, the "Young Nun and the
theme of the slow movement Of the G ma
ior symphony; Schumann, the cello melody
of the slow movement of the piano con-
certo; Wagner, the Spring Song" from the
"Valkyrie"; Isolde's Death Song" and the
uuintette from the "Meistersir>er': Handel,
"Ombra Mai Fu"; Purcell, Dido's Death
Song"
It is the list Of connoisseuf, at least

asked a friend of mine, who Is not musi-
clan, but very intelligent man, who loves
music, to prepare for me a list of those
pure tunes he loved the most. He said he
would think it over, and the. next day he
reported as follows:

L to me: ..,
Of church tunes, Luthers hymn, "A
Mighty Fortress; of national hymns, the
old Russian National, or the Welsh Men

BALLAD "Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes. of pure love song, "The Rosary;
of popular orchestral music, the 'Drigo
Serenade"; of popular band music, Sousa's

opera, the sextet from "Floradora"; of war
tunes dts Long Way to Tipperary"; If
piano compositions, the slow movement in

of much rarer type than that required

make a tunc is God-given and quite as
often is found among the ignorant and un-
educated as among the musicaliy trained.
It might be an interesting pastime to- get
