Those of Us Who Sheltered in the Dog Dsys May Find a Little Consolation Here. For those of us who Hit forced to epond most of our Hummers in cities > there art* a few consoling thoughts, remarks a writer In the Atlantic ; Monthly. .One Itt that the severest | heat does if>t promp men to crime, : as the social statistician* have found : that the severest cold does. Another I is that the worst temperature wu are called upon to face falls a Ion is way short of tho endurance limit of the human body and brain, uu proved by French experiments at (he 2&0 degree level. Another cornea from tho die? covory through tho newspaper#, with every prolonged hot wave, that we are "breaking tho record" in aomo lino or other. This ought to bo a stimulus to our pride, and if wo wish to curry further tho beneficent influence of mental suggestion, all we need to do ia to conipuro what is lroppening to us with what has happened to various other people at various other times. For instance, when tho encyclopedias toll us that in A. D. 627 the heat in France and Germany dried tho wa ter- aourcea' and a multitude of people died of thirst; that in the battle of Bela, in 1260, more soldiers were killed by the sun than by tbo weapons of the foe; that in 1303 three great riven* of western Europe went dry, and that in Odessa, in 1889, tho noon temperature reached 144 degrees and a sunshade was necessary at five in the morning, wo are bound to con clude that we are not bo badly off, attar all. PRESENT LIMIT OF WIRELESS Depenate Largely on Existing Weather Conditions* but Possibilities Are Apparently Unknown^ According to Prof. J. A. Fleming, several of the most powerful wireless BtatlonB are now generating ether waves having a length from crest to crest of about four miles, and these disturbances can be "detected" at dis tances up to 6,000 miles from their source ? that is, four such stations would suffice to "girdle" tho earth. Obviously, however, the ability to "de tect" the signals over this vast dis tance, presumably under favorable weather conditions, is a very differ ent thing from the power to maintain commercial communication along the route. As yet the wireless service avaliable to tho public covers but a third, or at most half, this distance. There is as yet no means of deter mining tho practical limit of wireless communication. Improvements in ap paratus, perhaps even some new dis covery as to methods of stirring up tho other, may revolutionize the art and upset all present standards. Hut at present even tho most ssccessful systems get into serious difficulties when called upon to maintain constant communication over a line 2,000 miles in length. A recent British wireless J i commission was ablo to secure but j one demonstration on a lino 1,000 i ! miles long, although several companies declared their ability much to exceed . this distance in a commercial installa- | tion.? New York Evening Post. War Declared on Materialism. To combat the materialism of the present age in earnest a society has just been founded by Edmond Ros tand, Maeterlinck and Camille Flam marion and is receiving the enthusias tic support of the thinking public. A- large number of members have already enrolled themselves among the committeeman being some of the leading figures in French thought. The founders are calling upon all who are willing to fight for the higher ideals of art, literature and science In the faco of the", decadence now threathenlng French taste to Join their, ranks. Several branches. It is announced, are being formed in the provinces and abroad. ? Another Tribute to the Horse. When it was first said last April that horseracing was to be resumed in the state of New York, Col. Frank lin P. Morgan, who loves sport of any sort, expressed his gratification at the news. "Horseracing," he said enthusiasti cally, "is a great and glorious thing. It warms the heart, thrills the brain and puts money into circulation." "Yes, yes," chimed in the group who was listening to him. "The only trouble is," added the colonel dryly, "that in the matter of horseracing all of the horse senso is on the track, and none of it in the bet ting ring." ? Popular Magazine. Remarkable Alpine Road. The water gallery of the Simplon road, says Professor McKibben in Good Roads, is one of 'die interesting features of that international -high way built by Napoleon I. It is an ^relied structure over the roadway, constructed so that a stream passes over the roadway instead of under neath, while openings in the inaponry give ventilation to * the gallery. Though the railway tunnel now car ries most of the through traffic, more than ten thousand personH annually cross the Alps by thin road. Lights of London. London will bo one of the best lighted cities in the world when tl?e Installation of a now system of cen trally suspended lamps using high pressure gas with inverted burners has been completed. Although the amount of illumination will be In creased by 0,000 candle power, It is estimated that a saving of about $34, 000 a yrar will be made over the old system. NO DOUBT ABOUT HIS CLASS According to Kansas City Paper, Harry K?mp Had No Difficulty Proving He Was a Tramp Poet. / ' , < A Now York loiter the other week mentioned that lot k of folks thought at tho time that Harry Koinp wbh being throe-sheeted through UiIm lit mi hh "tho tramp poet" that ho wuu juet a !>oot. IJm t they wore wroug. Mr. t Kemp i? a hobo of purest ruy serene. It 1b a pleasure t,o certificate him. "I live," Muld Mr. Komi) to an oditor the other day, "in u shack on tho Pall* Bade*. 1 camo into town toduy to soil u poem. This 1? Friday, und 1 do not want to ko back to the Bhack before Monday afternoon." Tho oditor took the i>oom and road It vory carofully and then looked at Kemp's clothes ? which wore compara tlvoly whole In sovoral places? <-and then tihowwd that ho had a good busi ness mind. "I'll give you," ?aid the udltor, "$3 for this poem." Tho oditor thought that Kemp would auk for more and that ho could do a bit of pleasant bargaining. Hut ho was disappointed. ^ "I'll take it," said tho tramp poet. "Three dollars 1b all I'll need for threo days in Now York."? Kansau City Star. MARK UP ONE FOR LOUISIANA Acording to Senator's 8tory, Grocery man From That 8tate Reached Height of Gallantry. Tho conversation turned to gal lantry, and Senator Joseph ?7. Rans dell of Ixmisiana reflectively smiled. He said that few people could be so gallant as a certain groceryman under the same painful conditions. Recently, according to the story told by the senator, a young woman weigh ing about 225 pounds, was gracefully waddling down the street when she stepped on a banana skin in front of a grocery store. The banana skiu being right on the job, the young woman immediately hogan to fly in several directions at the same time, and Anally landed large and plenty into a crate of fresh country eggs. "How very unfortunate, madain!" solicitously cried the groceryman, rushing to her succor. "I trust that you are not hurt!" "Not the leaBt bit, thank you," Baid the young woman as she rose to her teet. "1 really hope that 1 haven't broken your eggs." "Oh, no, madam, not at all!" was the gallant rejoinder of the grocery man. "They are only slightly bent." Lightning and Forest Fires. Lightning is heWl responsible for most of the forest fires this year, and whHe the number of severe local thunderstorms lias been somewhat exceptional, this is u fresh reminder that the exercise of care by railroads and campers, good in itself, can never -yield full protection. No matter how well the laws are observed there must be fires from time to time, kindled as nature lias been kindling them for ages; origin, perhaps, of the Prometheus legend. The remedy must bo found in the gradual and sys tematic application of scientific fores try, including fire lanes and th^ care ful clearing away of brush and fallen timber. There is need, too, of a further extension of the patrol serv ice, with a network of watchtowers from which an incipient, fire can bo quickly discerned. In this state such a network is nearly complete, and with the help of the telephone a force of firefighters can quickly be dispatched to the scene. The need less loss of valuable timber In recent years runs far up into the millions, but the day of such prodigal waste is rapidly drawing to an end. Neglected Neighborhoods. You can find in almost any town a "neglected neighborhood." The easiest thing to do with such a neigh borhood is to keep on neglecting it. it is so easy for us to study these topics as If they were about other places and people than ourselves and our homes. Is there a neglected cor ner in your town, or in your county? If there is what are you going to do about it? Not "What have you been doing about it?" as "What ought you to do about it?" but "What are you going to do about it?" If you can't get the committees in terested, do s8omething yourself. Do not be afraid. The thing is to get started. You see, as soon bb you have started some thing, the neighborhood is no longer neglected. And then it will be an eas ier matter to get someone to como in and help. ? Christian Herald. Education in Philippines. The consulting architect of, Manila has approved construction plans for the Paco school and playground, which are to bo the most complete I of their kind in the Philippines. The governor general has announced his program for extension of primary education throughout the islands. The program covers three years and provides for two thousand schools, sufficient to accommodate at least 200,000 primary pup'la. Not Badly Stung. This story isN^rodlted to Hill How en of Atchison : A man entered a store and bought three cigars and lighted one. "I>ord, this is a rotten cigar," he screamed. "Say, man, what are you complain ing about?" replied the dealer. "You have only three of thoee cigars, and I have a thousand. Be reasonable." ? Kansas City Star. Baruch-Nettles Co.
