Young Men, Get Married!

Youths should marry in their
early twenties if they want real
happiness. Whatever may have
been q mans chances against mar
rying happily at twenty-three, they
are Quadrupled as he nears forty.
The man nearing forty may be a
better man, he may well be q
worse man; at any rate he Is q
different man. Unless he has a
simplicity Of heart and equality OF
temper rarely found, he will de-
mand more and give less in mar
riage. No marriage can be happy
unless both man and woman are
happy in 1t, and the woman who,
marries a bachelor of forty will.

and still be happy.-Norman Davey

Glass Windows Found
in Old Roman Houses

Glass windows are not the rela-
lively modern things they are COM
monty reputed to be. According to
DR.. M. Blaschke, a German ceramic
chemist, they were in use in an
cient Rome. Most of the panes
did not exceed IL by 16 inches In
size, though a few larger ones
have been found. Glass-making,
known for many centuries in
Egypt, came to Rome relatively
late. During the time Of Cicero,
who died In 43 B. c., glass objects
of any kind were rarities, an
glass windows were unknown. A
hundred years later most house
holds owned some, and by the time
the empire was well established
glass was fairly common. The
famous mosaics of the later en-
pire, notably at Ravenna and Con-
stantinople, were made largely out
Of bits Of glass.

She didn't understand football.
"Why did they knock that man

"But isn't the object of the game
to get goals?"
"Yes; but he was-you see, he's

Diligence

Our word, diligence, is from the
Latin, "diligencia." 1t means the
quality of being diligent; interested
and persevering application; de-
voted and painstaking effort to ac-
complish what is undertaken; as
siduous industry; careful attention.
Industry has the wider sense of the
two words, implying an habitual de-
votion to labor for some valuable
end, as knowledge or property. Dill
igence denotes earnest application
to some specific object or pursuit
which more or less directly has
strong hold on ones interest or feel
ings.

Interesting organs in Germany. It
Is so rare specimen of the art
Of organ building in the Seven

of the Frankfurt exposition on
"Music in the Life of the Nations"
requested its loan for the duration
Of the fair. Count Solms readily
assented. The ancient organ has

Early Hydroairplanes

The idea of a hydroairplane,
which had been suggested In pat
ent specifications by Hugo Matul-
lath Of New York in 1899, had its
practical origin in Curtiss, who
added to the airplane with which
he was experimenting at Lake
Keuka in 1908 floats placed under
each wing so that In case Of acct
dent the machine would not sink,
but could be reached and saved
readily with a boat. In fact, it
will be recalled that Langley and
other inventors for like reasons
made their experimental flights
over bodies of water. Probably
the first to add the floats as an in
,tegral part Of the machine with
the express idea. Of rising from
the surface of the water was
Fabre, who on March %, 1910,
made the first flight with a prac-
teal hydroairplane at Martigues
on the Seine, France.

A fuse Is device designed to
safeguard a wiring system and the
lamps and appliances attached to
It against an excessive amount Of
current. Its essential feature Is q
link of metal which melts at q
comparatively low degree of heat.
When excessive current passes
through a wire, it becomes hot.
The fuse as well as the wire is q
part of the circuit and carries the
current. If more current than the
circuit is designed to transmit at
tenpts to pass the fuse, the metal
link is heated and melts, thus
breaking the circuit and stopping
the flow of current.
