HASTE is WASTE IN TROPICS
Noltherners There on Business Must
Leave All Preconceived Stand
ards at Home.

Who enters the tropics should leave
all haste behind. We have a superior
way of talking of the land of "man-
ana," quite overlooking the fact that
the physiological law of the land is
expressed in the "manana" attitude.
With the cumulative energy of gener-
ations of temperate-ZOne-bOrn ances-
tors In our veins, we may maintain
our standards of push and speed in
the tropics for time, but that is no
reason why we should expect people
who have been reared under less favor
able climatic conditions to live up to
them.
Indeed, it is highly advisable to
leave all of our precOnceived stand
ards at home. Latin Americans have
been long subjected to climatic and
other influences which have Of neces-
sity profoundly affected them both
bodily and mentally. We must re-
member also that, racially, we are as
far apart as were the Conquistadores
from the Pilgrim fathers.
Let us therefore accept as a fact
that our habits of thought are funda-
mentally different and give to history,
tradition, environment, and heredity
their share of praise and of blame for
existing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Geo

EMPLOYED ART or fLATsER.
How DisraeII Succeeded in Securing
the Full Confidence of His Royal
Mistress, Victoria.


It was after the untimely death Of
her husband at the age of ~ that
Queen Victoria became the victim of
a settled melancholy. For 20 years
after that event she continued to wear
mourning, took little or no interest
in the social life of her subjects, and
made a slave of herself in her cor.
respondence and in her interviews
with her ministers on public questions
and the details Of government
1t was not until Disraeli became
premier that the queen emerged from
the shadow of bereavement. He fas-
cinated her by his rhetoric and poetic
style of address. Gladstone, she said
used to speak to her as if she was
a public meeting. but Disraeli re-
membered that she was a lonely
woman with a hungry heart. He fed
this hunger in letters that were almos'
affectiOnate in tone. He called he
Gloriana and Titania queen of the
fairies, and in a thousand SMILES
ministered to her self-esteem. He
waved the magic wand Of fiattery and
Titania began to enjoy life once more.
So the queen In her old age be-
came popular with her subjects and
revealed those mellow graces, those
milder attributes, that made her be
loved and revered at home and abroad

Earthquakes Peculiar Effect.

An earthquake that shook India not
so long ago was remarkable for the
curiously distorting effects 1t produced
lpon standing objects. Similar effects
have been noticed from other earth
quakes, but seldom to so striking an
extent. In an official report In the mat
ter it is described how this earth
quake twisted lofty monument at
Chatak. The monument was an obelisk
Of brick, coated with plaster, more
than so feet tall and IL feet square at
the base. About six feet of the top
was broken off and thrown to the
south, and nine feet more was thrown
to the east. Then piece 20 feet in
height was separated, % feet above
the ground, and twisted in direction
opposite to the motion of the hands of
a watch, but without falling.

SEEM AWKWARD in MOVEMENT
Bird Lover Points Out Varying 0alts
OF Feathered Creatures Seeking
Food on Ground.

Watch blackbird hunting for
worms on q lawn; he moves by hop
ping.
But watch the wagtail darling
about on the lawn or following the
pillow, or hunting down by the
streamside-he walks or runs. He
glides as smoothly over the rough fur
rows of the field as if he were skating
on thin ice. So graceful are his move
ments that he seems to be dancing.
Why some birds should thus hop
after their prey and others run is a
curious problem, observes a writer in
Parsons Weekly. A solution may be
found in the different life habits of
the hoppers and runners and In the
different habits of their prey.
To hop on lawn after worms may
be the best way to disturb and pounce
upon them. But it would be better to
run after low-fying winged insects.
Walkers and runners as rule are
birds who seek their food on the
ground and live chiefly on the ground.
Partridges and landrails are famous
runners. Rocks, larks, meadow pipits
and starlings live much on the ground,
and walk and run.
Hoppers, as rule, are passerines-
birds with claws adapted to perching.
1t is natural for them to hop about
trees, and SO they hop when they come
to ground There are some excep-
tons to the hopping habits of tree
birds; thus the wood pigeon is tree
bird that walks.
A walking bird, like starting, may
occasionally hop, and the usual hop
ping of the thrush may break into a
quick run.
{ Other birds will not either walk,
run or hop If they can help it-like
swifts, who rarely touch ground at
all.

First Aid to Cupid.

Heretofore clotheslines have served
two purposes Obviously, their most
frequent use has been to hang clothes
on. Their more important service,
from a social standpoint, has been
the breaking Of falls of persons who
happen to tumble out of windows.
But now comes new use which prom

each other across large yard, have
discovered that clothesline makes

sorts of messages may be sent and re-

and enjoying the contents the receiver
writes an answer and sends it to the
other side.

Flowers and Seasons.

The relation Of the colors of flowers
to the seasons has attracted the at
tention Of a Canadian professor, who
finds that Of $50 Towering plants In the
provinces of Quebec and Ontario,
about one-third have white flowers.
Yellow flowers come next, and COM
prise about one-quarter of the total.
Puppies and blues form about one

the autumn floH have much stronger

Storage Battery
COntainer Takes
Place in ParIol

The ordinary conception Of storage
battery is "A box covered with some sort
of black stick paint Most of them
were not intended for parlor display.
But the fact that a neat and finished
appearance is appreciated by automo.
b. . .owners has been shown by The re-
ception Of the All-Rubber Battery, pro-
duced by the Willard Storage Battery
Company.
And the happiest part of it ALL"
says Mr.. Harris. local Willard Battery
dealer, 'is the fact that the one-plece
rubber case invtented by the Willard
Company makes an ideal contaner for
the New Willard Radio "A" Battery.
1t can be nicely polished and makes a
very attractive addition TO the radio
set"
The men who have spent so many
years Of hard work developing the au.
tomobile starting and lighting battery
and he railway and central station
storage batteries never expected the
battery to 90 to the parlor but that
day like many other unexpected things,
has arrived.

CADILLAC MAKES
MILLION Miles
Owner Finds Tear on Trans
mission Greater When Car
Is Not Running He
Asserts.

Can a motor care run million miles?
James Hutton of Detroit claims that
his Cadillac-a one-cylinder 1904 model
has actually covered that mileage.
This fact was brought to light in the
recent celebration of the Cadillal Motor
Car company's commemeoration of the
264th birthday anniversary of Cadillac
founder Of Detroit and name-giver of
the Cadillac car. Mr.. Hutton's car led
the parade of Cadillac cars preceding
the celebration.
The parade was composed of Cadillac
cars of nearly every vintage and model,
fro mthe early one-cylinders to the lat
est luxurious eight-cylinders.
Greater faith in his car has no man
than Mr. Hutton. II honestly believe
il will run as long as there is ground
in front Of it," he comments. Il don't
think 1t will ever wear out"
The car has been in Mr.. Hutton's
possession since 1910. He has no def
mite figures as to the mileage during the
six years previous to his ownership, but
estimates it as about 100000 miles.
For the last 12 years it has served
in the dual role of delivery car and
power to operate carpet cleaning ma
chine. Mr.. Hutton estimates the mo-
tor runs on an average of 200 miles
day when operating the vacuum out
fit. 1t can easily be firugred up what
this would amount to in year.
Mr.. Hutton points that wear and
tear on the mechanism, particularly the
transmission, is greater when the car
stands still with the motor in operation
than when the car is running. Since
1910 he has had the transmission re.
placed once.
