AIDS CHILDREN m HOPPING
Pennsylvania Woman Has Put For
ward Ingenious Device Which She
Calls Grasshopper Feet.

Adult human beings are rarely seen
to skip and hop. It is. however, a
form Of exercise In which children
are wont much to indulge, to the
great benefit Of their physical devel-
opment. Encouragement Of this form
Of exercise Is offered by the novel In
vention Of a woman, May @. South
gate Of New York. It is a pair Of
mechanical grasshoppers, Of giant
size, put on like pair Of shoes and
fastened by straps and buckles to the
child's feet. They have legs Of spring
steel, terminating In rings which hold
rubber feet. A child equipped with
these grasshoppers can hop, skip or
jump much more actively. and can get
over ground quicker, while the rub
Der feet lessen the shock Of aiight-
Ing and give delightful sense Of
lightness.- Philadelphia Ledger.

In His Fathers steps.

Several years ago great man, now
gone, walked In Rock Creek park.
He delighted to piow through brush,
wade in the creek and take unsus-
pecting friends on long hikes.
On his return, walking at a rapid
pace down Sixteenth street, he always
had a smile and a wave Of the hand
for the children who greeted him
along the way.
He put the cares of his great Office
away when he went out to play.
The other day three men, one in
the lead, came walking up rapidly
from Rock creek and cut around the
base of the lion house hill in the zoo.
The leader was bare-headed and had
on an old red sweater.
''Come on, Nicky," he called to a
man behind him.
So the party disappeared around
the hill, led by Theodore Roosevelt,

ONE JOURNAL in GREENLAND
And the Editor Of That One Had TO
Teach HE Subscribers How to
Read It

Journalism in Greenland is in rather
primitive stage, according to the
captain of British bark. The cap
tain makes frequent voyages to Green
land and Is held to be an authority on
conditions in that country.
The one editor in Greenland Is q
Dane named Moeller, who conducts
the only newspaper and enjoys the
singular distinction of printing the pa
per for the natives and teaching them
to read it.
Mr. Moeller is not only the editor
and proprietor; he Is the reporter,
printer, distributor and business
manager, and every two weeks he
makes long journey on skates to dis
pose of his journal.
Originally it contained only q few
crude Illustrations, but gradually
other matter was introduced, until now
it contains articles on the affairs Of
the day.
This man actually taught his sub
scribers to read his paper, first intro
ducing words. then sentences, until
now his subscribers are able to read
articles on any topic he cares to write
about.
