II the weather is rainy you will find
high terrets ABOUT the ground under

This Is what happens and you may
watch every movement First the feet
are carefully entangled into the rough

you will notice how carefully the insect

black dots stick out. The head soon

The commonest events in the world
are usually the most difncult to explain.
Take seeing, for example. There are
three sorts Of seeing. The first Is that
Of seeing some things as black or white
The differences between psychological
black and whie run into the thousands.
Something like $4,000 different degrees
These are called gray Practically
everything in this sort of seeing Is gray
You probably never saw anything that
was pure black
What is black? A blind man in
dark room. looking for black cat that
isn't there What is white? The pure
rays of the sun shining upon a snow
clad plain. You can't endure the pain
Of your vision.
Then you see colors. No one knows
how many. The primary colors are red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
But these are only names for way
stations. Mix these with black and
white and you have hue, tint, and satu-
ration In so many combinations that
mathematics can't figure it all out.
Then you see space. If you were
follower Of zeno. the old Greek philos-
opher, you would see spaces. What is
space? The simple matter Of compar-
ing the distance you now behold with
all those you have beheld before Space
is matter Of experience. And all the
grays and all the hues, tints and satura-
tons are mixed with it.

serve simple rules for the preservation
of our belongings.
Wicker furniture in steam-heated
rooms will last longer if wiped with
damp cloth or one containing furniture
polish to oil the surface, which is in
danger of becoming too dry and crack
ing. Priced pieces of furniture, with
veIieered portions, will hold the veneer
longer if oil is applied at intervals.
And solid wood furniture is made more
enduring by being rubbed with good
furniture oil.
Leather goods such as suit cases,
shoes and handbags benefit from con-
tact with lubricating dressings" which
prevent them from cracking as they
will when overdry. In the absence of
the commercial products which shoe
shops or leather goods stores sell for the
purpose even such available simple
lubricants as linseed oil in modest
quantity can be applied, not directly,
but with few drops on soft cloth.
In olden times lard was used for such
rubbing down of shoes.

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HAsKrNs ELLIS.

THIS name was given to one who
was strong Of physique, hardy
warrior. It Is a name that is
Il common In several European
countries as well as In America.
In Flanders IL is spelled Stohte, German,
Staudte. In the British Isles the usual
spelling has always been Stout. This
family was established in Deyonshire
and Somersetshire.
There were immigrants of this name
who came to New York at the begin
ming OF the eighteenth century. These
settlers were descendants of those
Stouts who lived In the low Countries
Of Europe and were forced to flee from
persecution and to establish homes in
England. This was In the time Of Queen
Elizabeth. In 1903 there were 100
600 Of these refugees, many Of whom
went to the West Indies, and from there
to America. Among them were a num-
Der Of colonists by the name Of Stout.
John Stout was, perhaps, the first of
this group to settle in this country. He
was a Jamaica merchant, and, upon
arriving IN America, made his home in
New York.

He had jotted down the cryptic
