WONDERS Of THE CENTURY
Marvels That Are Accepted as Com
monplace by the Citizen of the
Present Day.
William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia (Kan.) Gazette, in an ed
itorial in Judge, says:
"The vast mzystery of atural things
is so baffling tMat it is no wonder the
muysteries of the supernaturot are
neglected in these days of marvels.

Idiscoveries that a hundred years have
developed.
"These physical discoveries have
changed men's creeds, revised men's
attitude to God and man, rehuilt their
institutions, made them braver be
ause they could afford courage. made
them kinder because they could afford
kindness, and wiser because knowl
edge of life was forced upon them by
the civilization in which they live."
HIS SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX
Banker Would Have Put Would-Be
Borrower With His Other Busi
ness Securities.
The great banker looked keenly at
the young man. "So you are tempo
rarily embarrassed, eh?" he asked
I kindly.
"I am sorry to say I am," said the
young man, emboldened by his man
ner.
"How much do you want?"
"Five hundred dollars would tide
me over."
"And what security can you offer?"
"I can offer you," said the young
man, impressively, "my own rersonal
security."
The old man arose with a slow
smile and raised the lid of an iron
bound chest which stood in a corner.
"Will you get in here, please?" he
said.
"In there? Why?"
"Because," was the reply, "this is
the place in which I always keep my
securties."-Kansas City Star.
Steel Has Great Cutting Power.
"High-speed steel" for cutting tools
has been 'well known for years' and
an improve6 form of this material has
been introduced in Sheffield, Engled'.
It is reported that this steel has :
times the cutting power of any other
in use. The composition is, It ap
pears, still a secret, but it is said to
be the first "high-speed steel" that
can be hardened In cold water with
out danger. It can also be hardened
with oil or In a cold blast.I
Tools made of it wear out much
less rapidly and require much less:
grinding than those of the older
kinds of steel. They will also go on
working at high temperature longer.
But the makers themselves say that
this steel does not by any means
mark the final development of "high
speed steel."-Washin~gtonl Star.
Help Austrian Children.
Danish joint committees for help to
war devastated countries report that
in 1921 Denmark entertained 5,584
children from Austria for several
months, and that since September,
1919, Denmark has cared for 16,455
Austrian children and 5,428 German
children. Furthermore, 120 German
little ones needing special care were
nursed in a special camp. Gifts of
hospital equipment were sent to
AustrIa and Germany, and 40,000
francs was spent supporting a
children's home near Rheims. Food
and clothing to the value of 70,000
Danish crowns were sent to Germany
and Austria and financial assistance
for children amounmting to 25,000
crowns was sent to Belgium, 33,775 to
Poland, and 34,500 to France..
Strike Not New Weapon.
That strikes are not of recent origin,
but that they have, for many centuries,
troubled the employer of labor, is said
to be interestingly established by a
record recently discovered in certain
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic tablets.
These tablets were found in the exca
vation of some ruins at Thebes, and
cast a strong light upon the labor con
ditions of the city 3,000 years ago. De
tails are given of many interesting
phases of a strike when a large num
ber of workmen notified their employ
ers they would dIscontinue work un
less their back pay were promptly giv
en them and a new wage scale ar
ranged.
Deleterious ImItation.
"Don't you sometimes lose faith In
human nature?"
"Never," replied Senator Sorghum.
"You can always depend on human
nature for generous acti'ons and un
prejudiced opinions. That refers, of
course, to genuine human nature.,
which isn't always so easy to find. A
good many people feel that they have
to depend on human artifice and dis
simulation. Human nature, my fr!r.
is al? right. What makes the trouble
.. so.et is the de-natured human.'

Burmese Story of Man's Origin. k
A myth current among the Bur
mese says that heavenly beings came
down from the skies to the earth, and
there ate Thalesan. a particular kind E
of rich rice, which gradually made ni
them gross of habit, so that they were B
unable to make their way back to the
higher heavens again and had to be- ol
come men and women.
The Chins have a story of the A
Tower of Babel to account for the s(
various clans that inhabit the range
of hills looking down on the Bay of L
Bengal, and traditions of a deluge are
found everywhere. E
The Kachins tell a story of the pas- 1
sage over a bridge, to the afterlife,
and there are many more of the kind a
that si:-gest these folk-myths come
down from a long-g'one past.
