of the theory that a solution of com
mon salt In the blood, neutralized by
calcium and possibly potassium salt
solutions, was the cause of the
rhythmic beating of the heart. All
doctors had known of saline Injec

who hesitated over the new proposi

portance of salt and Its ability, after

Inland people ' of old esteemed
saline springs as gifts of the gods.
Chips of salt were anciently used as
money, and the mineral stood, as
many passages In the lilble testify,
for high religious symbolisms. The
'sharing of salt represented' In other
days a sacred pledge of friendship.

"Kids!" Another word consecrated

how It means more than all these,
writes Maurice Doruiny in Cartoons
magazine.
In 1870 I, too, was a kid. How did
I look upon the war? What memories
do I retain of It? I was a 9 year old,
ii nd went to school at the Vanves
lyceum, which wus then the "Lycee
du I'rlnce Imperial." It was In July,
and the war hud Ju$t been declared.

Charles VII, he related to us the glo

Among us was one pupil who re
fused to answer, and our venerable
professor was hurt. I still remember
his reproachful tones.
"No, I shall not punish you." he
said. "One does not punish young
Frenchmen who are not Interested In
Joan of Arc. Rather one pities
them.
We didn't understand very well why
Father Michaut had suddenly be
come so grave and reproachful, but
we felt that there was a depth of
meaning In his words. This meaning
we realized better later on.

Despite the abundance of "colonels"
who won their titular honors In the

Echo From San Francisco.

regrettable aspects was the recent
wrecking of the beautiful buildings
and monuments of the exposition at
San Francisco, which were erected
only about two years ago, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Despite any de

have had, the temporary character of
the buildings made their demolition
advisable. Many of the fine monu

exploding charges of dynamite under
