WORDS FROM.
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

n oRRoWING is the mother of
Is trouble.
Caution Is the parent of safety.
A change Of pasture makes fat
calves.
In sullen apathy neither true
wisdom nor true happiness can
be found.
He that would thrive must arise
at five,
He that has thriven may arise at
seven. III
No man can be provident Of his
time who Is not prudent in his
choice Of company.
Count not a day lost il you
have been kind in it.
It is what we call little faults
and little sins that do the most to
mar the home life.
Life is system of relations
rather than a positive and indie
pendent existence, and he who
would be happy and make others
happy must carefully observe
these relations.
The society of dead authors
has this advantage over that of
the living: They never flatter
us to our faces nor SANDER us be-
hind our backs, nor intrude upon
our privacy.
Many a trouble rightly directed
has turned into talent before T.
departed, and has left a gift with
which the holder has been able
to benefit those around him.
Never hold any one by the but
ton or by the hand in order to
be heard out, for If people are
unwilling to hear you, you had
better hold your tongue than
them.
A man must be excessively
stupid as well as uncharitable
who believes that there is no
virtue but on his own side.
There is no death. What seems
SO is transition. This life of
mortal breath is but a suburb of
the life elysian whose portal we
call death.

INDIAN BONES
DISAPPOINT
SEARCHERS

TOPLIN, Mo. - Archeologists
who toiled in the tornb Of Tut
= Anlh-Amen need not fear that
their discoveries are TO be- dis
placed in interest and historical
value by the relics removed from
Ozark Cliff. near Noel. Mo-, forty
miles south Of here.
Investigators searching for
North American Indian relics
found bits Of bones which were
decayed too much for identifica-
ton. Being the time for expIora-
tons. however, a group Of IN.
vestigators for the Heye Museum,
New York. worked feverishly in
the cliff on the theory that this
country was inhabited by o pre-
historic race known as the Nahua.
The relics unearthed. however,
dated back only 500 or 400 years
and led to the belief that the spot
was inhabited by an Indian tribe
and later used as a burial ground.
Specimens Of flint and bone taken
from the spot are being supplied
to various Eastern museums.

Rum Used AS Fuel for
HaVana'S TaxiS.

A report in the Scientific Amer
lean has it that the taxicabs Of
Havana are running on what our
forefathers knew as rum-though
of the denatured variety. They
are using it because it is 80 per
cent cheaper than gasoline, and
1t is the product of black.strap
nolasses, which is just now a
drug on the market. This by
product of cane sugar is over
flowing the storage tanks; by
turning it into automobile fuel,
taxi rates have been cut, the
minimum now being 20 cents.
This cut Is said to have been
authorized by the mayor at the
request Of the cabmen themselves,
who hope by this means to pop.
ularize this mode of travel. The
superabundance of blackstrap mo-
lasses has given them their OPP
portunity, and everybody and his
wife are riding in state. Jamaica,
too. is planning an installation
near Kingston for the conversion
of rum into industrial alcohol.
The first consignment to be
treated would be one OF 100000
gallons, the spirits being shipped
to Calada and elsewhere

"HE sudden remarkable bright
ening of the star Beta Ceti
has set people guessing
about what would happen to the
earth and its inhabitants IL sim
liar accident should occur TO the
sun, which Is star belonging to
nearly the same type as Beta
Ceti.
In rising from the second to
the first magnitude, Beta Ceti
increased nearly two and q half
times in brightness, and we may
say the increase Of the heat ra-
dated by that suddenly enlarged
sun upon any planets that may
revolve around was in the same
ratio,
Let the same think happen to
the sun and the consequences to
the earth would be terrible. The
doubling Of the quantity Of heat
poured by the sun upon the
earth would mean much more
than just doubling the tempera-
ture shown by the thermometer.
In its present condition the sun
supplies enough heat to the earth
to raise the mean temperature at
its surface 519 degrees above alb
solute zero, or % degrees above
the freezing point. But let the
heat be doubled and the mean
temperature at the earth's surface
would become 1,03S degrees above
absolute zero, or 1910 degrees
above freezing!
SUCH A DISASTER POSSIBLE.
Is there any reason to suppose
that such a disaster could ever
happen to the sun and the earth?
Yes. there is reason to suppose it
possible, although the chance of
its actually occurring within any
assignable time is negligibly
small.
Any one searching for signs
Of possible trouble might try what
he could make out of the fact
that Beta Ceti is, as, already
said' OF a stellar type similar to
that OF the sun. They are both
g" stars, /. e., they both belong
to the class Of stars whose spec
trum, as Campbell has said,
seems to indicate the summit Of
stellar life" From that summit
of the years Of a star there be-
gins decline, leading downward
first to the yellow stars Of class
*" and so on toward the dying
red staNs.
1t may be thought significant
in connection with the recent out
burst that Beta Ceti, which il a
larger sun than ours, is some
what farther advanced in it's
class. Does that mean that the
sun Is advancing toward a. state
when 1t will be more liable than
now to a catastrophe? We do not
know. There Is not enough sta.
tistical evidence to furnish an an.
swer. Our life-span is so short
that our observations of these
rents in the heavens are like
those that an ephernerid, living
only through one mornings hours,
might make upon the changes of
q summer.
The cause Of such outbreaks as
that OF Beta Ceti IL not certainly

cause is internal, arising from the

seems most probable. Others
imagine that a collision with some

Of dark matter have in late years
