AX men visit tl moon? In any age but the present this question, if seriously asked, would have been answered by a chorus of jeers. So far beyond the pale of possibilities has the isiting of other worlds always appeared that writers of fiction have felt free to treat the idea sportively, describing thrilling journeys through space in impossible vehicles. Xeverthclcss the thought of exploring distant planets, pausing en route to view the further side of the moon, so turned from us, is one that fires the human imagina-natio- n mos profoundly. The worst that can be said is that it now looks as difficult to us as the crossing of the great Atlantic must once have appeared to the naked savage upon its shore. The impossibility of the savage beeame the triumph of Columbus, and the day dream of the nineteenth century may become the achievement even of the twentieth. A body on the earths equator is traveling with the earths rotation at a speed of more than a thousand miles an hour. If relieved of gravity it would not fly suddenly off, like a cannon ball, and disappear into space. For several seconds its rise from the surface of the earth would be so slow as to be practically imperceptible, owing to the small difference between a straight tangent line and the earths slow curvature. Gradually, however, its apparent upward velocity would increase, so as to lift it some 6o yards the first minute, and more than a hundred miles the first hour. It would travel 239,000 miles, the distance between the earth and the moon, in ten days; and if suitably exposed to the earths attraction, acting as a brake, while screened from that of the moon, its landing could be made gentle and safe. Strangely enough, the unturning attitude of the lunar surface in relation to the earth makes the return voyage absolutely impossible save by a tedious roundabout journey of many mouths, involving the circumnavigation of Mars. The query may now arise : What is the moon good for, even if man succeeds in reaching it? We know it to be a barren, rocky world, without air or moisture, unspeakably cold at night, and below the freezing point even at noon. However, men could abide there for a time in houses, and could walk out of doors in divers suits. Scientists would find in the lunar wastes a fresh field for exploration. Astronomers could plant their telescopes there, free from their most serious hindrance, the earths atmosphere. Tourists of the wealthy and adventurous class would not fail to visit the satellite, and costly hotels must be maintained for their accommodation. Then it is quite probably that veins of precious metals, beds of diamonds and an abundance of sulphur might be discovered on a world of so highly volcanic a character. The foregoing may seem filled with the stuff that dreams are made of, yet most of the assertions are based on the hard facts of mathematics and physics. History is not always particular to follow the precise path laid out for it by prophets, yet in the long run it never fails to achieve larger things than the 6eer dared to predict. Is it too much to suppose that after visiting the Queen of Xight, our only near neighbor, pioneers will try the long voyage to Venus, Mars and other planets of our system, finding some of them even more interesting, more inviting and more useful to man than the pale moon, which first tempted him to try his wings in outer space? c thick-walle- d, air-tig- ht air-tig- ht The ultimate value of playgrounds in our large cities depends entirely upon the ultimate kind of playgrounds, playfellows and plays, upon the synthesis of the three Ps, in short. This new trinity in education is certainly full of promise; but its glorious future may not be as easily divined as its humble past. And since, as Patrick Henry tells us, theres no better way of judging of the future than by the past, let us lift its veil for an instant. All forms of modern education, of which health education, the supreme mission of the playground, is the latest and most signifi-- a child of the renaissance) of the three Bs, i. e., the bare bringing together of the boy, the book and the bench. The book, as the embodiment of the Word, was the central issue in an age when mankind suddenly awoke to the realization that through the sleep of centuries it had almost lost memory of its rich legacy the wisdom of antiquity. Then came commerce with its growing demands upon education. To reading was added writing and arithmetic, and so gradually the three Bs gave way to the familiar three Bs. Then came industry with its demands. Production and distribution merged into one. Hand and head were harnessed together. To reading, writing and arithmetic were added sloyd, manual training and drawing. The heart, too, pressed forward its claims. Accordingly music was added, and other culture studies, and so gradually a new trinity was proclaimed, the three IPs, which stands for the harmonious working of head, hand and heart. Xote, then, how each step in educational history led to the next. What will the three ultimately lead to? Xo one can tell. This much is certhe tain, playground will prove the alemic in the history of education. It will become incumbent upon the to actively engage its head, and and heart and not being fettered by the rules and routine of the classroom, it may be that inspiration will come to him which will eventually lead up to a reconstruction of the entire educational program-ba- sed not on traditions but on the childs true impulses and activities. Is too much to hope that this will prove the ultimate value of the playit ground ? If they can only keep the children off the street and keep them actively engaged in healthy play the future will take care of itself and the juvenile court may eventually go out of business. For after ah, many boys misdemeanors are .the consequences of a cramped city life which works against the boy nature. Boys are on the street because they have neither field nor yard to play on. Boys roam over the city dumps because there are no other open spaces. Boys ride on cars because there are no hayracks to ride on. Boys pitch pennies because they are not allowed to pitch ball. Boys shoot craps because they can't shoot with or at anything else. These and similar misdemeanors will disappear in proportion to the playgrounds which will be opened up every year. Herein, I take it, lies the playgrounds highest value, immediate or ultimate. to-d-ay Is play-teach- er Re- Lime or lemon squash is one of the most refreshing of the easily made summer drinks. It is prepared by squeezing the juice of two limes into s a glass, filling it full of ciacked ice and adding bottled soda. Sometimes sugar is used, and the only difference between lemonade and lemon squash is in the soda, which is substituted for plain water. Iced chocolate is cooling and leaves a pleasant taste in ones mouth. It is made the same as hot chocolate and well boiled, then set away to cool and served in tall glasses with cracked ice, cream and powdered sugar. It is generally considered a pleasanter and more wholesome drink than either iced tea with lemon or iced coffee with cream. To make sangaree, a favorite drink of the tropics, take one wineglass and a half of sherry, two wineglasses of water, a grating of nutmeg, some lime peel and about a dessert spoonful df sugar. Mix the sugar and the water together first, then grate the nutmeg over the top, add a strip of lime peel and stir. After which pour in the sherry and serve at once with cracked three-quarter- ice. For pineapple wine cut into thin slices a ripe pineapple, rind and all. Place this in a jar, cover with a quart of water and add some pounded ginger. Cover the jar and let stand for 24 hours. At the end of that time strain and add a pound of sugar, then bottle and serve the following day or not later than two days after the bottling. To make orange wine, take a quart of orange juice, a pint of fresh lime juice, a pint of brown sugar and a pint of rum. After these ingredients have been stirred together place them in a jar and let stand for three days, after which time add a half pint of fresh milk. Clear the wine with a clean egg shell.

The new irrigation law which was recently passed by the Mexican congress already has led to the Inauguration of a number of Irrigation projects in different parts of that country. The fact that the law carries an appropriation of $25,000,000 to be paid in subsidies to those who place land under irrigation, serves as an incentive for the establishment of improvements of this character. One of the largest of these irrigation enterprises under the new law is being financed by a syndicate of St. Louis men, headed by David R. Francis. His son, David R. Francis, Jr., is Primitive Method of Irrigation In Old Mexico. actively interested in the project, and has been spending much of his time in Mexico of late. The concession for this enterprise provides for the use of the water of Lake Chapala for irrigating about 500,000 acres of land adjacent to the lake. The government will pay a subsidy of $25 per hectare of 2 y2 acres on all land placed undet irrigation. It is stated that a system of canais and ditches will be built to cover every part of the tracts of land that are to be irrigated and that great electric pumping plants will be in stalled to raise the water out of the lake. The cost of the construction ot the system of irrigation will be al most offset by the subsidy. A number or applications for conces sions to establish large irrigation plants under the new subsidy law are pending in the department of fomentc of the federal government.
