Africans Teeth His Passport.

When man in central Africa Is asked from where he comes his an swer is grin. This answer Is per fectly satisfactory, because his teett' are filed and sometimes colored {" show to what tribe he belongs.
 The women of the Felletah tribe stain their teeth blue, yellow and purple, leaving a white tooth here and there. These women are yer itable "rainbows of fashion" with their contrasting cOlors. Sometimes the women stain their fingers, toes and hair also. Then they feel sure they are much more dressed up than any of their neighbOrs.
 In time of war, or any kind of trouble among the tribes the shaped or cOlored teeth are good means of identification spy from another tribe can be detected immediately and will not be able to prove an alihi The dental work is done when the African is very young, and marks him all through life.

DEFINITION OF FACT OF GOD"
Jurists Have Accepted Lord Mans- fields Idea of What 1t Shall
 Mean in Law.

The carnal mind of 'man has sought out many inventions" about God and has proceeded to permeate human society with them, incorporat- ing them in school books, prayer books, law books, and in other ave nues by which men gain knQWAedge From out of the Dark ages came one of these ''inventions,' that legal phrase, 4act of God" which Sir Ed ward Cole (I552-1634l, first defined and used in 1881 as meaning storms lightning, tempests and the like. It has in modern times been extended in meaning to include death, Illness, flood and so on. The happening which is legally termed an "act of God" is, in general, allowed as an ex- euse for not performing aR agreement entered into. Various forms of con tracts, notably steamship tickets, freight receipts and some employment agreemenfs contain ffIis phrase, which 7lffcsf operates as a Felease of liability. When the time came for Lord Mans field (17O4.1793), that great jurist, to restate the meaning of the phrase two centuries after it had originated, his definition, as then given, was that "everything is the act of God that happens by his permission, everything by his knowledge"

 Look for the silver lining r !" caroled cheerful youngster evidently familiar with the words of the pretty musical comedy song.
 It was not easy advice to follow thought Bill Barton, limping along in the spring sunshine, watching the lads sturdy legs that once in a while skipped a little through sheer exuber- ance of youthful energy and joy. Bill envied him. Once he had two good legs like that and nOw-well-it might have been worse. But the surgeons had fixed him up. He wouldn't have given a dollar and half for his leg when he came off the battlefield and first saw it. There was one thing certain. He could never lose his soul for toddling too much now-did pretty fair just to limp along.
 He squared his shoulders-didn't want one of them to sag. He had always been proud of those broad shoulders.
 'Heigh-hO, Captain Bill! What a jolly little place this old world is, after all :" cried a big strapping fel- low, nimbly Jumping the gutter to rush up to him.

OWE leEBox TO BOSTON MAN
Stage Carpenter Conceived Household RefFlgerator Idea More Than
 seVeHty-Aye Years Ag9:

Fifteen years before the Civil war began, Darius Eddy, who was stage carpenter at the old Boston theater, eoInpleted the first refrigerator the world had ever seen. ..-
 One day John Lodge. father of Hen ry Cabot Lodge, asked the young car pentRr if there was not some way that could be devised so that food products could be kept and used dur ing the hot summer months.
 Eddy had an idea that if cold air could be kept inside container, fa- vorable conditions ought to prevail. He .experimented. for days and weeks until he conceived the idea of an air tight box which could be cooled with ice and would maintain a steady tenn perature after it reached 2 certain degree.
 When the alright box was finished he showed 1t to MT. Lodge. and 1t was put to the practical test. The results wefa remarkable, and so far ahead Of what MT. Lodge had expected that he got the young carpenter to make sim liar boxes for his friends Then Mf. Eddy decided he would make refrig- erators for everybody.

BIO HELP TO NkvIc
Radio Service on the Great Lakes Proved Effective In Saving Time
 and Money.

More than 2,OO0 hours of operating time, worth at conservative estimate $150OO0, has been saved to navigating interests on the Great Lakes in single season by means of the radio advices sent out from one of the smaller weather bureau stations on the lakes. There is no way of ascertains ing definitely how large Is the total saving effected by the Great Lakes radio weather service, which is one Of the many activities of the United States Department of Agrfculture. Vessels are not only warned pn the lakes because of approaching Atorms, but they are also advised when it IS safe to proceed and what route toTake to avoid heavy seas and adverse cur rents. When boats are idle the over head expense averages S76 an hour, and may be much higher.
 A large fleet of 40 boats anchored near Mackinaw, Mich, for example, would not have left before 8 D. m. had not radio advice assured the leader that 1t would be safe to proceed at 2 D. m. This difference in time meant a saving of at least s1s,OO0 to the ship- owners. At another time 50 boats sheltered at Detour, Mich, were ad- vlsed that conditions would permit them to start immediately instead of 10 to 16 hours later. The saving here was estimated at $37 500.
 Last September steamer assisted by a tug was grounded, outside It's regular channel. The captain was in- formed by the local weather bureau that the water would not return to normal till the next morning, and sus- pended operations, which were com pleted in a few minutes when condi- tions were right. Five hundred dol lars for tug hire alone was saved.

Loren E Fir1ds Her
 Ideal By MARTHA M. WILLIAMS


 co by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate) "Humph! Off on a man-hunt! I'd be ashamed-but then some folks are 1toO shameless for anything l" Mrs. Crane calculated acidly, at sight of ithe Eaton car with Loren at the wheel, j luggage-laden, and headed for open 9country.
 I Myrtle Crane, aged twenty-seven, ipursed her lips and let her eyes fol- low her mothers. Both were filed iwith speculation plus envy. Yet the Cranes had a better car, better fclothes, rather more money than the EatOns-and only themselves to main itain. Equitably they ought to grudge their neighbors no whit of the mercy fand modest comfort they enjoyed. But since the Eatons were ever so much tmore popular-Loren especially quite eclipsed Myrtle in all companies there was perhaps some color of req son for their bitterness.
 "What I wonder is-who's the game this timer" Mrs. Crane went on, her accent musing: ''I asked Toby when he fetched the milk last evening where his Pa and Loren were going next ttime, but he grinned foolish-like, say ing he didn't know. As if boys ever ldidn't know anything they wanted to find out"
 "Tll call up Mrs. Brewer; her shop knows all that happens anywhere, Myrtle said picking up the receiver. Two minutes later she nodded to her mother, saying: "She isn't sure-but it's either Fernwood or Crosse Cut" "That means Tommy Page or Sam

 But for full fifteen minutes it was a worthless explanation.
 He forgot about Stan until dinner was announced. Alice's father and mother and her quaint little grand mother in silk and lace had been ply. ing him with so many questions, gently reproaching him for not showing up sooner and getting the welcome that had been waiting for him all the time that he could think of nothing being as essential as proving to the entire satisfaction of those good people just how he had felt about the whole mat ter. Recalling his engagement at the club, he rushed to the telephone to call Stan.
 "Tell him to jump into a taxi and run on over here!" Alice urged at his elbow. "Then we can ask"
 That you, Stan? This Is Bill. Want to know if you can be my best man at noon tomorrow? Trying to get her to say eight o'clock, but she insists on having her beauty sleep" He smiled and slipped the receiver to Alice's ear.
 Quite distinctly she heard Stan's ex- cited voice. By George, old man, you've found Alice! Haven't yOu?''

He came for three days, saw Loren, was conquered and stayed for three weeks. Long before the end of them he had declared himself, first asking the iudge's leave, then authenticat1ng himself and his standing. TO Loren he said frankly: T know you are not for sale; but maybe money may help you to endure me-it can't give me as much happiness any other way as in putting all the worlds beauty round about you. Think it over well before you answer; but tell me this. much now: Is there any other man9
 Loren was as frank I'm not sure -yet-of anything" she said. Life with you would be the fulfillment of my dream. Always have wanted to do things, in big ways-to help With out those needing it knowing whence if came, to have beauty in everything not to make my home fairy palace but a simple homely heaven on earth, open to sunshine and rain, to Joy and sorrow, to those who laugh and those others who walk in shadow. But love has walked and wrought with me | in my paradise-he may not come, no matter how earnestly I ask him."
 So Marchmont, the man of millions, went away in doubt-not of Loren | her he trusted as completely as he loved her, but of how the scale would l fin in the end. She had asked for summers grace-he went overseas to make certain he would not hurry her i She took up life as usual, apparently the same merry, helpful, impertinent young creature she had always been. But there were now and then gleams fin her eyes toward dusk altogether strange.
 Prosaically the gleams meant nearly always Sam Wesley. He was fine outstanding fellow, good to look at, with tenor voice sweet enough for the heavenly choir, Listening to II while she was all but sure she loved him. Other whiles there spread through her consciousness a blurrtng mist, She would not let herself think of Marchmont and all he meantime thing in hand was to discover was she truly heart-free?
 Chance decided for her by the agency of a pretty flapper as rich as she was foolish and impressionRble as wax with whom Sam eloped upon +hree days acquaintance. After one hard breath Loren felt sense or ep- largement, a joy over the turn or the game. So she cabled to MarchmonI :: "Come home. I want you. There IS not. has never been, anybody else'
