A Wag says: I'VE know what hap
pened to Lots wife when she looked
back; she crystaIlized into salt. Lot
didn't look back; he just went ahead
and looked for another wife,"
Looking back is dangerous, Success

eyes turned forward, not backward. II

ways alert for the new idea. the new
opportunity, responsive to the forward

shuts out the new chances, the new
advantages that change brings It sets
up within us a hardening process
which strangles growth and renders
further development impossible
A great many people 60 through life
looking backward most of the time,
and they are good illustrations of the
thing that befell Lots wife. They
never so forward, they are never
among the progressive or up-to-date.
They stand still, become rutty and nar-
row-cases of arrested development.

Limerick has one Of the most beauti
full peals of bells in the world. They
were made in Italy by young work
man. who. after the toll of many years
produced a peal of bells which were
so perfect in tone that even his critical
Judgment was satisfied. The bells were
hung in a neighboring convent, but
in the course of years war swept across
that part Of the land, and the bells
were lost.
Misfortune overlook the bell-founder,
and he left his native land, wandering
about the world for years. Then, hear
ing that his bells had been taken to
Limerick, he set out to hear their sweet
tones once again. AS his vessel sailed
up the Shannon, borne upon the even
ing air from the towers of the cathe-
dral came the music of his bells. He
went forward and sat listening, his
gaze fixed upon the distant cathedral,
but when the vessel came to anchor,
and they went to him. he was dead.

DEGREES OF HEAT AND COLD
Exaggerated Expressions Do Not Al
ways Convey Any Really Pre-
else Shade of Meaning.

When scientists say a thing IS cold
they really mean it is not warm
enough to be comfortable. When a
thing is said to be hot it is meant the
same way, that it is too warm to be
comfortable. All degrees of cold and
heat are really just different degrees
of warmth. Absolute cOld-that is,
entire absence of warmth-has never
been known
When compared with liquid air. ice
Is tremendously hot. And liquid air
which is so cold that were you to
put a finger in it, it would he burneG
offs hot compared with frozen he
ltum gas, the coolest thing known.
For an object to be hot means moth
ing more nor less than that the mil
lions Of atoms that compose the oh
ject are vibrating very fast. The fast
er these particles vibrate the hotter
the object becomes.
If an object had no vibrations in it
at all, it would be perfectly cold.

KNOW LITTLE OF VOLCANOES
Scientists Look to Region in Alaska,
Where Comprehensive Study
May Be Made.

To scientists, one of the significant
features in connection with the exist
ence Of the extensive volcanic region
in Alaska is the fact that it is sit
uated where, in the future, at least,
it will be easily accessible for study.
And there is much room for the study
Of volcanoes Although volcanism was
probably one of the first of natures
spectacular phenomena to thrill man,
it presents one of the few obvious
problems about which science has no
satisfactory hypothesis. Just where
the heat comes from which melts
stone, why it is concentrated within
definite areas, from what depths the
molten material rises and why it rises
these are some of the problems
about which there has been much
speculation, but in regard to which
few satisfactory theories exist.
Telltale fossils and types of rock
show that the mountains Of the
Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian
islands are older than either the Him
alayas or the Alps, systems which are
practically without volcanoes. It does
now follow, however, that volcanic
activity accompanies age, for the APP
palachianS, among the oldest noun
tains Of the earth, have no volcanoes

GOT IDEA FROM "PITCHMEN"
Humble Beginning of Career of Man
Who Founded One Of Greatest
Department Stores.

The vendors of small articles sold
on the street after "spiel" and dem
onStration are known as "pitchmen."
According to an article in a recent
number of a popular weekly, this in
dustry was begun in 1869 in New York
city. A newsboy by the name of
Stovers got hold of some knives that
had become slightly RUSTY, at a bargain
price and sold them for a quarter,
making 200 per cent profit for himself.
He saw an opportunity to duplicate his
feat by getting more knives, which he
did, but soon the available stock was
exhausted.
He associated a partner with him
self, and sold lead pencils In the same
way. The partners name was 'Dutchy''
Lehman. In a short time profits of
$4,000 had accumulated. Lehman con
sidered their luck a temporary thing,
and took his share of the profits.
$1,000, to Chicago, and with it opened
a miniature department store, using
similar tactics as the "pitchmen" by
displaying goods on open tables. Imme-
diate and increasing success crowned
his efforts, and the business expanded
into what is now one of the largest
department stores in the world.

Diamond Shines Like Candle.

If you expose a diamond to the sun
shine and afterwards bring it into
dark room, it will give out Tin most
caSes) a noticeable light When placed
in a vacuum and exposed to a high
tension current of electricity, dial
monds phosphoresce, or shine with
different cOlors. Most South African
diamonds, in these circumstances, ex-
hibit blush light, while diamonds
from other parts of the world shine
with such cOlorS as bright blue, april
cot, pale blue, red, yellowish orange
and pale green. One beautiful green
diamond in the collection of Profess
sor Crookes, when phosphOrescing in
good vacuum, gave almost as much
light as candle the light being pale
green, almost white.

Retire on Her Savings.

Someone has estimated that if a
married woman, during a period of 30
years married life has attended to
the ordinary duties of the household,
she has served nearly 100000 meals.
has put up more than 5000 jars of
preserves, devoted about $4,000 hours
to sweeping, washing and scrubbing,
and so on at some length. Then this
investigator has figured that, at ac-
cepted prices for this work, it is worth
considerably over 100000, and he
asks the question, "Why cannot she
retire on her savings?' And he an
swers his own question by asking an
other one, as follows: How do you
define the ordinary woman's cOntribu-
lions to her family wealth."

for loot but for love- are some of the
paraphrases that may express his
ideas as applied to the prosperous,
the publicans and the soldiers who
consulted him. 1t was an entire
change of thinking that he was rec
ommending, a mental revolt against
current unrighteousness so that new
day and new men might correspond
And as a pledge of their purpose John
used the initiatory act of baptism 50
that they should proclaim to all be-
holders their willingness to accept the
new rule as the governing principle
of their living citizenship in the King
dom.
THE MEANING
Quitting your meanness" was Sam
Jones's terse definition for repentance
and it is quite possible that the Bap-
tier used it also His call will never
be superseded, for the individual must
begin the Kingdom within the limits
of his own life. Individualism will
live as long as individuals do. But
even in Johns word there was the
effect of personal repentance upon
related living. Now many sins are
no longer individual ones, but social,
so that repentance has taken on as
much a wider meaning as has the
Kingdom. The rule of God covers
more than it did in his day because
life is richer. Home held within its
four walls the weaving, the baking,
the canning, the washing, the sewing
and still other things that today are
often done by factory or shop. To
care for the child and the home now
means the sanitary and hygenic su-
pervision of dozen places of indus
try. The sin of a corporation may
bring disease to an entire community
or may stunt childhood both physi-
cally and mentally. There is ire
mendous reason that society repent of
its wrongs against the weak and the
word must include that in it's range.
Nations need the mourner's bench
also and it is not Turkey alone that
should be found there. Fine old Eng
land deserves all the praise given
her, but it was under the leadership
Of Gladstone the Christian that she
supported the bloody Sultan and until
all nations feel the sting of shame
over such affiliations the Kingdom is
not yet present. Whose hands do
not need washing from the stain of
war as an international weapon for
selfish ends? The preaching of
John reaches an audience now larger
far than gathered at the Jordan, and
it is due to his call and its accep
lance by the mass then, by the Christ
who joined the movement and direct
ed its passion into still more construc-
tive endeavors, and by the Church of
Jesus now, that men feel a sense of
sin such as would have been impossi-
bic otherwise. And "The Day" comes
as surely as sunrise in the world of
nlanetS

Curious Fact as to Vision.

It is reported that experiments have
been made to show that objects seen
by indirect vision ordinarily appear
larger in the right half of the field of
vision than in the left. With a smaller
number of persons this is reversed.
From these facts has been deduced a
possible origin of right and left hand
edness. Right-handedness, or its re-
verse, develops at about the age Of
seven months. 1t has been suggested
that they may be due to the phenome-
non of vision just described. BY a
reflex effect the infant reaches after
the objects best seen with the arm
nearest to them

MAKE THEIR OWN WEATHER
Screen Directors Have at Their Com
mand Appliances Which Equal
Any Methods of Nature.

On the cinema screen, even in a very
short play, frequent weather changes
rain, fog and wind are often depict

waited for real weather such as they
required to occur, lot of valuable
time would be wasted. The simplest
solution is to make your own weather,
so that you can turn on just the type
you want. Three appliances are used
The first is the rainmaker which looks
like a lightly made fire-engine. 1t is
provided with a latticework tower on
the top of which stands an operator
who, by opening or closing taps, can
produce either fine or heavy rain. The
rain is directed toward the air current
made by the wind machine, and by
varying the strength of the wind"
the rain" can be made to fall gently
or In wild driving squalls. The wind
maker is nothing more than an engine
with large propeller mounted on a
motor lOrry. BY regulating the speed
you can have a gentle breeze that will

Unfortunate Architects.

his mind with chagrin at the stealing
of plans designed by himself, whereby
another reaped honor and glory in his
