~ Have Other Fish 70 Erx.r

81 have other fish to fry" is novel
phrasing of the thought that one has
other things to do besides the one pro.
posed by the questioner. 1t was ut
tered by the Mad knight Don Quixote
immortal hero of the novel by that
name, which had for its purpose the
ridiculing OF knight errantry, and the
glorious days of chivalry-
Ceramics makes his hero read ro-
nance and adventure into everything
he sees during his journeys through
the prosaic countryside, and as a re,
suit some painful experiences befall
the knight. Don Quixote's memorable
tilt with windmills is classic story
of literature, and the naive way he ex
plains after the unfortunate tilt, that
they were knights when he attacked
them, but that an evil influence con.
verified them into windmills to avert de,
feat and humiliate him, is laughable
to the last degree.

EXAMPLE OF REAL BOOSTING
Modern Sellers of Land Will Find 1t
Hard to Beat Work of Fifty
Years Ago.

Westerners have always been noted
as being great boosters for their ter
ritory. Into one of the pioneer states
of fifty years ago Shannon ventured in
search of a home. He investigated all
phases of the opportunities and posi-
bilities of the country and was well
pleased with 1t I'm all but one respect.
"You have great country here. 7
must admit" Shannon told native
co whom he had confided his plans.
Il think there are some great oppor-
tunities here and 1 would settle here
Immediately but for one thing. l am
told by people who are in position
to know that the inhabitants die here
at the average age of thirty-two."
Don't let that worry you," exhorted
the native. "That is just another
phase of the wonderful cooperation
and publie-spiritedness of our citizens.
They simply die off to make room for
the rising generations and the incomr
ing hordes!"

ELECTRIC SHOCKS AND DEATH
One Ampere Passing Through Vital
Organs Is Sufficient to De-
stroy Life.

Death by electricity is caused from
paralysis of the muscles. including the
involuntary muscles of the heart,
lungs, etc. as well as the destruction
10 the mental and nervous system of
the body, according to George NJ Ole,
power representative of large telec-
trio power company, writing in re-
cent Issue of Electrical World. II has
been found. continues this authority,
through exhaustive research work,
that current of one ampere passing
through the brain and other vital or.
gans of the body viii in most cases
produce death if allowed to act for
only short period of time, and II Is
therefore evident that ii is the amper-
pated in the body, that actually de-
slroys life. On the other hand, the
element Of voltage enters, lnasmuch
as the resisting power of the human
body is very high, and il requires q
voltage comparatively large or small,
depending entirely upon the resistance
and contacts, to force this amount
OF current through circuit in which
the body and its contacts constitute
the resistance. The resistance of the
human body is variable factor and
depends largely upon the applied volt.
age, inasmuch as the resistance mea-
sured from hand to hand With pre-
cision instruments on potentials not
in excess OF ten volts will show APP
proximately 10000 ohms, while If this
potential is increased TO ITO volts the
resistance breaks down TO some extent
and becomes nearly 10000 ohms.
