Science here compare badly with nature, for the luminous efficiency of the firefly Is no less than 00.8 per cent, while the glow-worm- 's light Is 80 times more efficient than a tungsten lamp. Science Poor Second in Light Production What Is the most efficient light In the world) Some people might vote at once for the "last word" of science In artificial Illumination, bat they would be wrong. The most efficient light known to us was known In the days of pine torches and rush-light- It Is that with which nature has endowed the glow-wor- m and the firefly. Science has so far failed to solve the problem of the production of light without heat a problem which seema to have given Dame Nature no diff-iculty. In all artificial light production on enormous amount of energy Is lost in the fonu of heat rays and chemical rays. Thus a four-wa- tt carbon glow lamp has a luminous efficiency of less than half per cent, and the most perfect Chicory., Chicory Is quite extensively cultl, voted In Krope for use as a table snliul, for fodder, and for the roots. The young lenves, when properly blended, are considered equal, as a salad, to those, of endive. .The prin-cipal use of the plant, however, Is for Its roots, which are roasted and ., ground and In that form used as a substitute for coffee, or as an adulter-ant for coffee, snuff and other articles. ing Boy His Chance A darky was asked what mime he had given his youngest son. "Erasmus Pro Tera Johnson, suh:" "Cut why the 'Pro Tern'?" "Well, suh, dut am to show de name am only tempornneoas, suh.

Legend of St. Ursula The legend of "Ursula" varied with different historians. According to the generally accepted legend, Ursula, the daughter of a king or prince of Britain, while on a pilgrimage with 11,000 maidens was attacked at Cologne, Germany, and put to death with all her followers by a horde of Huns. Historic Babylon The country anciently known as Babylon or Babylonia constitutes In part what Is known as Mesopotamia. The distance from Babylon to Jeru-salem was between 600 and 700 miles. The buried city of Nineveh was situ-ated near the city of Babylon. English Bird Sanctuary ' On the outskirts of London, and within half an hour's journey from the city, Is one of the most beautiful bits of woodland in England. Few Amer-icans, or Londoners either, have ever visited this place, or even know of Us existence. It la a bird sanctuary, a veritable land of song, which la care-fully fenced and guarded by keepers night and day, and where every kind of British bird lives and nests un-harmed. The wood lies In the Brent valley and was bought for London two years ago and established as a perma-nent memorial to Gilbert White, the author of the "History of Shelborne," by the Shelborne society. The sanc-tuary, however, has been in existence just 21 years, and In Its 10 acres, in the boughs of Its many oak trees and the coppices of haiel. owls, willow warblers, bluetlts, goldfinches, night-ingales, black capa and many other birds may be seen, i Ben Franklin Enjoyed Good Things of Life Benjamin Franklin was one of those rare men who lived so happily and so abundantly that the reader of his life finds himself wishing he might have been a contemporary. ' He was regarded as one of the wis-est members of the First congress, yet he seldom spoke and he spent a great part of his time fast asleep in hia cbalr. He drank too much, he ate too much; instead of exercising, he played chess. He suffered the piercing pains of gout. He confessed all his faults with delightful humor and frankness. ' At sixteen he wrote an article for his brother's newspaper, describing the night life of Boston, and at seventy be was still indulging In pleasant ro-mances with young anJ beautiful French women. He missed nothing. As he added years to his age and dollars to his Income, he violated many of Poor Richard's precepts. His common sense led him to take hot baths twice a week, when the gen-eral custom was to bathe not oftener than two or three times a year. He be-lieved In fresh air, and even night air, while the doctors were still using leeches as a cure-al- l. He enjoyed life to the utmost. He waa the master of his circumstances from the age of sixteen, when he ran away from home, to the ripe age of eighty-fou- r, when he passed on, with 11 hia affairs in order. He left an es-tate of a quarter million dollars for bis heirs. William Feather Magazine. ALONG LIFE'S TRAIL By THOMAS A. CLARK Du ( Um, I'nlTtnlty ol IlllaoU. (IS. 1I4. Hiin Nw.ppr Union.) GETTING AWAY FROM ONE'S PAST i --p:S grievous,'- - an old English A writer says, though I am not at all sure thut he Is correct In this, "that with all amplification of travel both by sea and land, a man can never separate himself from hia pust his-tory." We are accustomed ordinarily. In making such reflections, to apply the principle only to those thinga In our past that are unwholesome or ques-tionable, and to emphasize the perma-nent Influence of evil things, but It la equally true of our contact with healthy or noble or beautiful things. No experience of life, when It Is past, leaves a aian quite the same as he waa before. One man has climbed Long's peak, or crossed the ocean, or heard a great musician, or seen a beautiful picture, or been under the Influence, even for brief time, of a One char-acter, cornea away from the experience with a little different view of lift, broader outlook, a higher conception of duty. He can never sink quite to the level he occupied before. Isaiah Harding, oae of our neigh-bors when I was a child, had never been outside of the state. He had ploughed and sown and reaped hia crops and had known no other outlook than the broad prairies that stretched endlessly before hlra. Then he visited the Centennial exposition In Philadel-phia. The trtp cost him one hun-dred and fifty dollars, he con-fessed after he came back. It seemed a small fortune In 1878, but It was worth It all. He waa a new man for the experience, he hd Been a new world, he had had an unexpected vis-Io- n and he never tired of telling of It; he never got away from It. It was a trifling experience which sent me to college an Irritating stimu-lating criticism of my appearance and my Ignorance which I could not quite forget or Ignore. The young fellow who was responsible for the remark had no thought of the effect of till words, I Imagine, but his words bored Into my consciousness and I could never get away from them. Ultimately they changed the whole current of my life and thought y It Is true of all of us. Every emo-tion we feel, every noble generous word we utter or thought we have, every experience that la ours, good or bad, leaves a permanent Impression ipon our lives and characters. No one can ever get away from his past. The Shingle Is Fashionable ' We have made bobbing and shingling our specialties, so that you may be sure of a carefully cut and becoming coiffure.

It is usually used with words of Interrogation such aa what, where, how and why. The name has nothing to do with Charles Dickens. It was used by Shakespeare over two centuries before Dickens was born. In "Merry Wives of Windsor" Mrs. Page says: "I cannot tell what the dickens his name Is my husband had hlra of." "Dickens" Is believed to be a euphemism for deuce or devil, which have the same Initial letter. Pathfinder Magazine. ECONOMIZING GASOLINE I' WAS going off fot a, saotor trip with very little knowledge nt the hahlta and vognrlcs of automohlles In general j and this one In particular. "If you want to save gasoline," Spencer said to me, "drive steadily at I a moderate speed. It takes gasoline j to atop and start the car frequently, and nothing eats It up like pushing the machine beyond It normal speed." I I waa Interested, An automobile Is apparently not no- -' like people. Kinney was building , house for me. It was begun In April I and was to be finished by September. The work dragged at first and I spoke to him about It "Don't worry," he aald, "we have ! oceans of time. I'll have the job On- - lshed a month before the day agreed apon." He was mistaken, however. I There were delays at a crucial time, a ' strike laid the men off for two weeks, and when September came, although Kinney was "steppln' on 'er" hsrd, the t' house lacked a month of completion. He had wasted his opportunities at I the beginning and no matter how much ' gasoline he used up at the end he I could not make the grade. There was Culver, on the other hand, i who did his work so regularly that he never aeehied rushed or worried for i fear he would not be finished In aea-- J son. Other fellows thought that Cul-- 1 ver was lucky or a genius but the real : explanation was that he was a steady, 1 consistent worker, who economised his gasoline throughout the whole trip. 1 lie got farther with the expenditure ' of less energy then anyone else I I ever knew, j The fellow who doee his work regu-- J larly, who keeps from worry, who set for himself a moderate Intellectual I pace and keeps It every day will ao J compllsh more by the end of the year 3 than the fellow who works by fit and ; starts, who loafs at the beginning of i the week, and then pushes himself t J a pace of fifty miles an hour on 8un- - 3 day. It Is the moderate uniform rate ; of speed that saves the nerves and 4 economize the gasoline. Very few young people give much 5 thought to the future. The fuct that f they will some day be old, or weak-- ened, or broken In strength does not ocr'ur to them. The young fellow, hwever, who dissipates his energies 6 or his emotions, who lives the fast 4 life, who taxes hi physique beyond It norma! leslstance, ultimately pays the J penalty. Before his Journey Is ended, his strength will be gone, the gwnollne 4 will be out, he will have wasted his powers. He will come to the heavy jj hills of middle life wUhout the power 'I to carry Win up. 4 Each of us tins about so much re-- si ne power. If we wante It tolny, we ahull need It tomorrow. If we lite up our energies In youth, we may ex-p-a prnuiutiire, weekened old ag |
