of Greely's Arctic expedition,
which made history from 1881 to
1884, by it's explorations in the

which he was one of only seven
survivors. the remaining IS hav-

What Must We Defcnd2

There is perhaps no subject
concerning which the people of
the United States are more in
accord than that of national de-
Tense. Every true American
wants to see his country made
safe from invasion.
But the question most pertinent
Just now concerns the scope de-
fensive measures should include.
The question might be divided
somewhat like this:
Should we be prepared to de-
fend only the continental United
States and the possessions which
are indisputably our own terri
tory, such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
Alaska and the Panama Canal?
Should we go to war to defend
the Philippines, which by their
own request have been granted
entire independence to become
fully effective after a transition
period of a few years3 And what
about other republics in this
hemisphere?
Should we go to war IL neces-
sary to defend commercial or per-
sonal interests of Americans
throughout the whole world?

Stamp Changed Canal

An interesting story of how a
postage stamp caused the United
States to build the great ship
canal at Panama instead of thru
Nicaragua is told in Belgian
M gazine, but we do not guaran-
tee it's accuracy.
When the question of whether
to select the Panama or the
Nicaragua route was before the
Senate, there was a lively debate
each route having its champions
among the salons. Among the
points discussed was that Of
danger from earthquakes.
Senator Milburn argued against
the Nicaragua route, saying it was
in highly dangerous volcanic ter
rltory. Senator FollOwry who
favored that route, declared that
the president of Nicaragua had
solemnly assured him that no
volcanic eruptions had occurred
III MS country for centuries.
A young engineer who was in
terested in the Panama Canal
project, then showed Senator Will
burn a Nicaragua postage stamp
which depicted the Monotombo
volcano in eruption. Wilburn i'm
mediately obtained enough stamps
to place one on the desk of each
senator, with a note calling atten-
ton to this official admission OF
volcanic activity.
AS result, Nicaragua was
abandoned and the Panama Ca
nal route was approved by a big
majority in the Senate.

He tries to adapt himself to the

One reason why many persons
fail to read peoples minds, is that
they are so anxious to talk them

thoughts, that they rarely listen to

more than he talks, knows the

If you would prolong your life
go inside the house and stay in

Casual Inventors

Most inventions of the present
are made by men Of the highest
mechanical and engineering skill,
VINO devote themselves almost ex-
cIusiyely to the discovery and de-
yeIopment of improved means for
doing every conceivable mechani-
cal job.
In earlier times, however, many
epOch-making inventions were
produced by casual inventors,
most of whom had no special
training whatever for such work.
Among these may be mentioned
Robert Fulton Of steamboat fame
who was q portrait painter; Rich
ard Arkwright inventor of the
loom who was a barber; Edmond
Cartwright, who produced the
power loom, was a clergyman; S.
f. B. Morse, inventor of the tele-
graph, was also a noted portrait
painter; Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor of the telephone, was a
teacher of deaf mutes, and so on
through list which might be al
most indefinitely extended.
According to the United Press
a QUESTIONABLE recently sent to
several thousand practical inven-
tors. elicted the opinion that even
today originality of thought is
more important for an inventor
than mere mechanical ability; in
fact, originality is considered ten
times as important.
1t seems that there is no fixed
rule in the matter, but the weight
of experience indicates that inven-
tors are born, not made, and that
inventive genius will generally
assert itself, with or without spec
ial training.
