Mental State Depends
Much on Environment

In order permanently to cure q
child OF nervousness 1t is necessary
to remove the underlying cause,
not merely to alleviate the distress
ing symptoms, declares DIR. Frank
Howard Richardson in Hygeia Mag
azine. This will probably involve
some change In the environment,
for It Is recognized that environ
mental influences affect a child so
much that they will greatly modify
any mental condition, no matter
how bad.
While this is encouraging, there
will be plenty of difficulty in many
cases. II companion, teacher,
a brother or sister Is at the bot
tom Of the nervous condition, the
change may easily be made. How
ever, In many cases the child's ner-
vousness is really due to a jealous
or tyrannical father or a weak,
pampered mother. It Is almost
hopeless to alter the environment
resulting from such parental dis
turbances.
In all cases it Is up to the par
ents to provide the proper at
mosphere and environment for
their children's development. Other
wise no amount Of treatmeL.. by
physician or psychiatrist will be Of
any avail.

Old Roman Fountain
Credited to D0naitiiaT

Rome has the reputation of being
the city which possesses the largest
number of artistic and monumental
fountains, which all help to give
her q most attractive aspect. But
certainly very few people in Rome,
writes correspondent Of the Chris
tian Science Monitor, could tell you
which is the Oldest of all, and
guides often miss pointing it out
to the tourists and other foreign
visitors.
At the foot of the road leading
to the Coliseum there lies the so
called Meta Sudans, a fountain
whose name is probably derived
from its conical shape, similar to
the 'metae" of the circus. The
fountain is believed to have been
erected or embellished by the EN-
peror Domitian, and it was repro
duced on the special medal struck
on the occasion of the formal open
ing of the Coliseum. The water is
sued from numerous small holes In
a bronze globe at the top and fell
in a veil into a large circular basin,
lined throughout with marble. This
fountain is mentioned by the phi
losopher Seneca in one of his epis-
ties, when he complains of the
noise which was made by show
man who blew his trumpet close to
the fountain.

PolDerless to Resist
SsDeep OF Avalanche

There were several destructive
avalanches in the st. Gothard re-
gion in 1925, when the railway was
damaged at several points, and
many peasants and workmen were
killed. But one rainy Sunday In
September, 40 years ago, 100 per-
sons persisted when a large portion
Of the Plattenbergkopf split off and
slid down on the village of Elm.
Early in the day great boulders
began to come crushing down with
disturbing frequency, and quite
number of men were out watching
them. Suddenly they saw whole
cliff sway and topple over. Seven
teen minutes later another cliff fell,
and, to their horror, the doomed
villagers saw that the mountain
had been thus undermined and was
poised over thin air far above them.
Four minutes later it fell, shattered
into millions of fragments, and
came sliding down at terrific speed.
Through the village went the ava
lanche, across the tranquil mead
ows Of the valley, and up the op-
posite mountainside for couple
Of hundred feet, when 1t diyerged
right and left, like the wash Of a
spent wave, for many hundred
yards.

body goes and tells about it."
Amid a collection of droll or wit
ty definitions accumulated from
time to time through newspaper
reading, the following seem worthy
of repetition: "Dandy"-a football
for men and pincushion for wom-
en-. "Snoring'-sleeping out loud.
'Bachelor"-a man who has lost
the opportunity Of making some
woman miserable. 'Tyrant"
who kills worms lest they turn.
"Nothing" bunghole without

only thing that can't be improved

to things you know all about, told
by one who knows nothing about
them. "Cannibal'-one who loves
his fellowmen. "Caution"-the dark
lantern of enterprise. Smiles

Character SholDn in
Likes and Dislikes

II you are ever in doubt as to
whether an acquaintance would
prove q good companion there Is
one infallible sign by which you
can make sure of the matter. When
You talk to him notice whether he
tells you first Of something he likes
or dislikes. If he is prone to air
his dislikes you may be sure he
will not prove a very cheerful COM
panion. His mind is destructive.
He is more concerned with pulling
to pieces than with. building up.
Such a person has tendency to
shut up ones mind or put 1t on
its guard against impulses and in
noyations. He has a sensitive ma
ture that withdraws itself into it's
shell on the least impact of the
common things about him. One
will get nothing from him but
grumblings and misadversions.
The person, on the other hand,
who quickly makes you acquainted
with what he likes is one who will
prove a fine, stimulating compan-
ion. He is ardent, curious, adven-
turing. He will communicate his
own enthusiasm and awaken in
those he meets tastes and sympa-
thies and ideas. He is a builder,
a creator, a doer. Such men of
infinite likes are to be cultivated.

Lifting Machines Old Idea

Lifting machines with pulleys,
ropes and winding drums, are as
old as Archimedes, 236 B. G. They
were used in the Coliseum In Rome !;
in the Middle ages for military
purposes; and the germ Of the
modern elevator is in the drawings
Of the universal inventor, Leonardo
da Vinci, and in Agrieola. But the
earliest known primitive passenger
elevator is that In the convent of
st. Catherine, on Mount Sinai. 1t
was worked by a capstan, and car
ried both people and stores to the
upper floors, to be safe from the
desert robbers.

Grefna Green Unlike
ToUn of OIden Days

The big increase in the surplus
Of English women, as indicated in
recent census returns, has robbed
Gretna Green (Scotland) of hopes
Of staging a comeback. The good
old days of romance are gone for
ever, aver the townsfolk.
Daughters were far more scarce
hundred years or so ago than now
when parents so rarely try to shoot
any young sports who purloin them.
Gretna Green did most of it's rush
ing marriage business between 1854
and 1856.
One of the popular paintings is
that Of romantic passengers in a
post-chaise hurryfng to the town on
the boundary line between England
and Scotland and showing the pur-
suing fathers vehicle In a ditch
with the wheel broken down.
This picture is more in demand
than the village blacksmith himself
who used to lend helping hand to
parties bent on clandestine mar
rage to avoid the English law.

Hard 70 Stop Legend
Once Started on Way

It Ia rather interesting to watch
q legend In the course of growth,
remarks the Manchester Guardian
and cites the case Of the ancient
chalice which was recently found
and which after hectic newspaper
career Is now so far advanced that
1t Is honored by some as the cup
that served the Lord at the Last
Supper. It was a similar jump
ing at conclusions which involved
medieval legend makers In some
hopeless tangle, Pierre Van Pas
sen comments, In the Atlanta Con-
stitution. The classical case Is
that Of the Eleven Thousand Vir-
gins Of Cologne. Digging in the
Twelfth century brought to light
a big collection of human bones. An
ecstatic woman proclaimed them at
once to be the remains Of the
Eleven Thousand martyrs. Further
search showed the bones of men
were among the piles. The ecstatic
lady was not put out. She de-
clared at once that certain &C.
clesiastics had been put to death
with the virgins. Worse followed.
The bones Of children were found.
Were the seers defeatedf BY no
means. Entire families had been
put to death with the 1000, they
said. Modern research made an
end to the whole farce by establish
Ing the fact that the bones were
those Of the first Roman colonists
In Cologne and that they had been
buried In a catacombian cemetery.

Ancient Topography

The road followed by the dead
on their way to the Elysian fields,
based on the actual topography of
the Nile valley, is depicted on one
Of the earliest maps known. In a
lecture before the Royal Dutch
Geographical society, DR.. f. G. VIE
der said that the first map makers
Of whom there is any record were
the ancient Egyptians and Baby
lonians. The way to Elysium was
pictured on sarcophagus of the
old empire Of Egypt now in Berlin.
A plan Of the Nubian gold mines,
he continued, is preserved on a
papyrus of the Fourteenth century
before Christ. Road maps made
into a household necessity by the
automobile had precursors in the
clay tablets into which the Baby
lonians baked charts of their roads
30 centuries ago, according to the
Dutch scientist.

Pet Cat Made Model
for Artists Lioness

When Sir William Richmond, the
artist, was small boy, his mother
took him to st. Paul's cathedral to
hear the singing, and he was disap-
pointed because everything was so
cold and colorless. He said to his
mother suddenly, Perhaps one day
] shall decorate this place!" and
we can imagine how she smiled at
the thought of Willy coloring the
walls with box of chalks.
But the boys dream came true,
for somebody else thought with him
that the interior of the cathedral
needed color and decoration, and in
1890 Richmond, then a famous
painter, was entrusted with the
work of designing mosaics to cover
the roof of the choir.
The westermost of the three sau-
cerdomes in the choir vaults repre-
sents the Creation of the Beasts.
Richmond had faverite cat which
loved him so much that she used
to attend him even while he had
his bath, and when he got out she
would crouch down and lick his
great toe adoringly.
She was not beautiful or valua-
BILE, but the grace of her attitude
SO charmed the artist that he de-
cided to use it in his great work. In
q panel near the Creation Of the
Beasts there may be seen Adam be-
tween lion and lioness. The
lions are so true to life that when
they were shown to a Zulu chief he
started and involuntarily raised his
hand to stab. But the liOness Is
really a little tame cat licking her
masters foot.-London Times.

Douglas Fir Entirely
Distinct Tree Species

The Douglas fir, native of the
Northwest but now being planted
extensively in the East, is becom-
ing a popular Christmas tree, ac-
cording to the American Forestry
association. The species was
named for Scotch botanist who
discovered 1t on an expedition In
1925, but it's scientific name is pseu-
dotsuga, meaning ''false hemlock."
AS matter Of fact, 1t is neither a
hemlock nor fir, and, though it is
sometimes called spruce, it isn't
that, either. The tree belongs to
an entirely distinct species. The
tree most commonly used for
Christmas trees is a real fir-the
balsam, so called because its Bills
ter-like pockets yield the resinous
liquid known as Canada balsam,
which is used among other things
for attaching cover plates to micro
scopic slides.

Model of the Firman1ent

A model of the heavens, which is
remarkable in a great many ways,
and which was constructed in Ber-
lin some time ago, is about to
make tour of the world and will
be shown In all the large cities.
The spectators enter a large dome
shaped concrete building which is
unlighted. Suddenly thousands of
glittering stars appear in what
seems to be the infinite sky. More
marvellous, suns and planets begin
their majestic march across the
heavens. In q few moments intri-
cate celestial motions are revealed
so simple that you, who perhaps
never have opened an astronomy
book, can understand mysteries of
the universe that puzzled scientists
for centuries.

Didn't Hatch

A school teacher relates that she
was giving her small pupils les
son on birds, and after telling
about the Matching Of the eggs, the
care Of the mother bird and the
first lessons in flying, she said:
"Now, children, I am the mother
bird and you are the little birds
nestled in your coy nest. I want
you all to spread your wings and
fly away"
Each child, waving arms to the
music she beat, skipped to the
dressing room, with the exception
Of one little fellow who remained
motionIess in his seat. Turning to
him she said: Donald, why didn't
you fly away with all the other lit
tie birds?"
"'Cause," come the prompt and
unexpected reply, "'Cause I was a
bad Boston Transcript.

Az, That's the Rub

The word "scrape," meaning a
difficulty or some unfortunate pre-
dicament, has several synonyms, as
"rub," a squeeze" a ''pinch," etc.,
all Of which are younger than the
term "scrape," and of slightly diff
ferent Interpretation. Getting in
to a scrape" came from Scotland,
and the expression is as old as the
ancient and honorable game of golf.
In Scotland a rabbits hole or bur-
row is called "scrape." When a
players ball rolled into one of these
holes it was manifestly impossible
to play it, and the rules of the
game recognized this fact by NAM
ing but slight penalty for the
player. He merely "got into q
scrape." Chicago Journal.

York Minister Bells

At recent special service in
York Minister, England, the famous
bells of the cathedral, which had
been recast and hung, were rededi-
Gated. All the bells, previously a
peal Of II, cast in 1910, have been
recast with additional metal, and
a new semi-tone bell has been add
ed between the sixth and seventh,
this completing the middle ring of
eight in e fiat. The peal now con-
sists Of 13 bells, with the largest,
or tenor, bell weighing three tons,
and is said to be one of the finest
peals In England. In addition,
there is Big Peter, weighing nearly
II tons, the third largest In the
country, the largest being Big Paul
and Big Ben.
