Science Called On to
Come to Natures Aid

Some alarm has been caused recent
~ by the announcement that the Mat
terhorn is in distinctly shaky condi-
ton, and may topple over into the
Italian valley above which 1t towers.
Similar fears were entertained some
twenty years ago regarding the Rocher
de la Clusette, In the Jura, which then
threatened to fall into the valley of
the Arouse. Had this happened. the
valley would have been blocked. and
the flow of water, on which the dis
trict depended for its supply Of cleo
tricity, would have been stopped.
Immediate action had to be taken to
avert this calamity, which would have
plunged the countryside In darkness
and disorganized Its transport. En-
gineers rushed to the spot, the noun
tain was shored up with concrete, and
all was well once more

Better Than Believing in
Santa Claus

Two typical wayfarers of the Bow
cry, penniless and tattered and with
their feet half out of their wrecked
shoes, were limping through one of
the crooked streets. of Chinatown.
One of them found small vial con-
tanning cocaine which, presumably,
had been dropped by a. dope fend.
The tramps had heard many times
of the stimulating and invigorating
effects of this drug. Also, from as
ISOLATION with habitues they knew
the common method of taking it.
They decided to experiment.
The finder uncorked the vial,
poured quantity of the white crys-
tails into the palm of his hand and
shifted the stuff up his nostrils. His
companion finished the bottle
The effect was magical and almost
instantaneous. They Strengthened
their bent figures, drew their rags
about them and stepped out briskly.
Presently one of them spoke. There
was a bloom in his cheeks and his
eyes glistened:

''Don't Speak Till You're

Roy McCardell, the humorist, went
abroad. On the way across he grew
quite chummy with Louis Tracy, the
English novelist, who was returning
home after visit to America.
One morning in the smoking-room
when the voyage was almost ended,
Tracy passed and bowed to Nc
Cardell. A serious-looking English
man witnessed this exchange of
greetings and. after thinking the
thing over for time, approached
McCardell.

charge of horse stealing. The jury
promptly returned a verdict of guilty

Taking into consideration the past
record of the offender, his honor on

The Wall of a Suffering Soul

Once upon time there was pre-
sented in a New York theater a his
torical drama by a new dramatist-a
play so bad that even the critics
didn't have the heart the next morn
ing to tell the whole truth about 1t.
At the end of the third act, when the
suffering audience were writing In
their seats, stout man who had
been patronizing bootlegger began
to utter loud cries. number of
kindly disposed persons took up the
chorus and in another minute the mis-
guided playwright had responded to
what he thought was curtain call
and was standing before the foot
lights bowling his appreciation and
mumbling inarticulate words of
thanks.
When the author had withdrawn
himself the stout mans companion
turned upon him angrily.

Bees Conversation

That bees have a language by means
of which they can communicate with
one another about newfound feeding
grounds, the kind of flowers to visit
and their general direction from the
hive appears to be proved through ex-
periments made by a German scientist,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine. He
found a swarm of bees would visit the
place where sugar was exposed I'M
mediately after one of them had fed
and returned to the hive to spread the
news. This the bee does by peculiar
dance. By marking bees with colors
and feeding some while leaving others
unfed, the experimental proved that
only those which had been fed would
start the dance that brought swarms
to new feeding grounds.

Too Much "B" Voltage

Second only to the mistake of burn

too much voltage in the plate or "B"
battery circuit of your vacuum tubes.
As high as 60 volts plate battery has
been noted on the Nv 200 type of tube
when used as detector. Frequently
40 volts are used on wv 1919 and WD

these yoltages are higher than needed
and they tend to shorten the effective

NEW YORK, April 14.--Ncw
York and Detroit, in consensus
vote OF the leading baseball writer's
will win the major league pennant
races which start today with all
the usual trimmings of opening
days.
From composite tabulation of
the predictions made by twenty of
dhc leading baseball authorities. the
teams, III the two major leagues
will finish as follows:
National League:
New York, Pittsburgh Chicago,
Brooklyn, Cincinnati, st. LOUIS,
Boston, Philadelphia.
American League:
Detroit, Nm York, Washington,
Philadelphia, st. Louis. Chicago
Cleveland, Cleveland Chicago, Bos-
ton.
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh were
picked by several of the experts as
the pennant winner in the National
league, but the Giants were rather
generally chosen because Of the
known strength of the team and
its efficient management.
The one knock against the Giants
was the law of averages against a
team that will be called upon again
