RunnnatfAinnn in WaIea

SuperstitiOns: of the country folk of Wales are discussed in the quarterly
 report of Dr. Arthur Hughes, medical health oficer of the county of Car marthenshire. Despite the fact that fortune telling and witchcraft are pro hibited under the English law, large numbers of Welsh peasants bring their ailing children to the witch doc tors rather than to medical practition- CTS. One fetish that appeals tO these superstitiOus people is that witch doctor can cure a child of backward ness by means of making slight in cision in the cartilage Of the child's ear. The operation must be performed during the waxing of the moon and the art is handed down from generation to generation, the doctor usually being a woman. If 8 cure does not result the operation is repeated until the child is cured. It is said that many women practice this art and that the people pay large sums to have dull children so treated.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

Put th. umplrs In q Gaze.

Safety first, the oft-repeated warn ing, was very religiOusly needed by the umpire at a recent benefit ball game on the Pacific coast. He ap- peared, Popular Mechanics relates, at the park with a large wire cOntriv- ance that looked like an exaggerated bird cage. When the game started he took his stand inside the cage, On top of the cage were mounted sem Aphores, lettered very plainly with the usual umpire's verdicts, ball, |" "strike.", "Out," etc, and his decis' ions were announced by raising the necessary semaphore. Thus, he was not only safe from unintentional foul balls and the intentional pop bottles of irate fans who differed from his judgment but he also saved himself from much expenditure of lung power.

 About @ DeSross.

Heating experts tell us that churches should be kept warmer than lecture rooms. Whether this implies that the lecture room audience is more apt to forget any discomfort due to tem- perature than a church congregation they decline to say. -,.
 According to the scientists versed in the subject 65 degrees is the proper temperature for church, while that of lecture hall should be between 60 and GA degrees.
 Public buildings, the experts agree: should have 8 temperature between 6S and 72 degrees, while schools should be kept uniformly at 70 degrees.
 The: proper temperature for the home is about 6S degrees, with bath rooms at between 70 and S5 degrees. Entrance halls and vestibules should be kept at a temperature between 54 and 60 degrees; gymnasiumS 80 and natatOriums 6S degrees.
 - These are the temperatures for hospitals: general rooms, 72 to a de Rrees; sick rooms, 72; operating rooms, 70 to 90. l. Experts apparently do not believe in making prisons attractive in cold weather, as they recommend temper ature for them between 5O and 64 de grees. Factories and shops should he kept at a temperature of 65 degrees boiler shops. and foundries, 70 to 60; machine shops, 60 to 05; paint shops 30

 "The bed broke down and depopu- lated me among the dogs and children. and they all took Whet at me.

Sea water contains a little over and 1-17 per cent of common salt. In addition, 1t holds in solution a bit more than one-half of 1 per cent of magnesium salts, somewhat more than One-tenth of per cent of salts of cal. cium, and nearly ote-tenth of l per cent of sulphate of potash. Dry air contains about 21 per cent of oxygen. but air extracted from water contains 34 per cent. The gases of the atmOs- phere are everywhere contained in sea water. being taken up and dis solved by the latter. The oxygen is required to maintain the life of fishes and other marine animals.

Wrong Idea About Moon.


 The popular impression that the full moon has the power 10 clear away clouds disappears slowly, not Nithstanding rhe almost unanimous announcement Of modern naturaIisrs against it.. This may be largely due Q the fact that so great an authority in his day as Sir John Herschel re- garded the idea as probably correct. After a study of the Greenwich ob- <ervatiOn, il was suggested that the impression may be due to the fact hat a change from the cloudy to the lear state is much more likely to attract attention when there is full moon in the sky. and many meteor dogists agree with this.-ChTlstian science Monitor

TrabaNs PoetO Wrote Of.

Hair always has been a subject of absorbing interest and its arrange ment a matter of real importance. Poets would have been bereft of one of their best subjects had short hair of women become the fashion that 1t once threatened to be.
 l" Viewed from the standpoint of the practical and the sensible, long hair hasn't 6 ghost of a chance against short tresses for women. But unfOr- tunately the beautiful and the individ- uaE usually win over the merely prac- tical when 1t comes to a matter of the personal adornment of women, and the fact remains that many of those who hastily cut of their tresses have re pented at their leisure.
