THE FOURTH DIMENSION. It Is an Unprovabla Theory, as It Is Bassd Upon the Unknown. In answer to the following Interesting question, "I understand that u crawling insect knows only two dimensions, length and breadth, all lines being horizontal to it and that it cannot conceive of u perpendicular; do I understand correctly that the fourth dimension is to us ns the third is to the insect?” Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York American says: “We do not know the mind of the insect and cannot decide whether the third dimension is known to it. And the fourth dimension is not surely known to man. "To be known geometrically n straight line must be drawn perpendicularly to three others mutually per pendicular—that Is, n i>erpendicular must be constructed to all three sides of a cube. But this is impossible to the geometer. “Mind as now phasing in man does not know what anything is. Then it does not know what space Is. although space is supposed not to be a thing Yet we say space includes Jill things If we know nothing about space we do not know, therefore, whether it is curved or not. But the fourth dimension is a transcendental concept based on the curious theory that space has curvature, all of which is unknown and not proved.” MONEY VALUE OF SMOKE. Over Half the Heat Energy of Coal Goee Up the Chimney. To the engineer the smoke rolling and billowing out of. the power house chimney is Just like so many dollars taking wings from the company’s strong box. The smoke escaping from a steam plant is composed of nearly 60 per cent of the heat energy of the coni which is l>elng burned. This energy is lost in the tiny particles of coal and carbon which escape up the chimney in the various gnses which are freed before they are burned in the heated air and in various other ways. So. for every $lO spent for coal $6.50 is lost up the chimney. Assuming that the energy of coal is 100 per cent, only 2 per cent of this is available in the form of light when you snap on the electric lamps. Nearly ;>9 per cent of the original coal energy is lost in transmitting this energy into heat, from heat to steam, from steam to electricity and in transmitting the “lectricity to your home. The efficiency of the electric lamp is only 5 per cent-in other words, the lamp turns into light 5 per cent of the energy it receives and wastes 95 per cent of it in useless heat—New York World. Poetry and Poverty. Writing of Poets’ Cotner. W. J. Lofde, in “Westminster Abbey,” com eients on the frequent nnd pathetic alliance between poetry and poverty. The first of the poets laid here. Chau cer—who dwelt Ift a bouse in the mon astery garden known ns “The Rose”— “fell Into poverty in his old age.” Spenser, according to Drummond of Hawthornden. "died for lake of bread" in King's street. Westminster. Ben Jonson “died in great ]>overty" in a house on the north side of the abbey, near St. Margaret l * Dryden is nnoth er immortal to whom the same fate nttachos; also Butler of “Hudibras" fnme Chaucer's bouse was demolish «1 to mnke way for Henry Vll.'s chapel. IDs gray marble tomb dates only from 1566. Though so late in erection. it is good to recall that the tomb wag the gift of a brother |>oet in hap pier material circumstances. Nicholas Brigham. “We, the People of England." Every one has beard of "the three tailors of Tooley street," but It is not generally known that only two of them were actually tailors"* The three men were John Grose, tailor. Tooley street; Thomas Satterly. tailor. Weston street, and George Sandhum, grocer. Bcrtnotid wy street They were accustomed to meet after business hours at a public bouse in Tooley street in Southwark to drink lieer. smoke tbelr'plpes. talk politics and discuss public affairs. During the movement for Catholic emancipation. when Canning was prime minister. these three worthies determined tu petition parliament on the subject, nnd they commenced the document with these words. “We. the people of England!"—London Express. Shakespeare's Descendants. Besides ms first child. Rumbus. Shakespeare's only other children were a boynud a girl, twins, Iwrn in 1585. Susanna married a Dr. Hall, a Strut ford physician, in 1007. was left a widow In 1033 nnd died In 1640. She bud only one child, a daughter, who. though twice married, left no children. Os the twins, the boy. named Humnat. died at the ugo ut eleven, ant! the girl. Judith, married Thomas Qnincy snd had three sous, who all died childless. Thio Io a Fact. "When n man loves a girl In a novel he ni”e* about her through forty chapters. In real life be never mentions her name." "What's the application?" “Merely that realism in a love story Is not possible "—Bt Louis Republic. Ito Kind. "Why do yon cell that piano manufacturer's business an Infant Indus try?” ”Be«iiuoe he manufactarsa baby grand pianos."—Baltimore American. Wisdom is the talent of buying virtuous pleasures nt the cheapest rate.— Ilold I ng.

Wise Mexican Mujce. “The mule in Mexico is a wise animal." says a man who has studied the animal In that country. "A Mexican mule will do Just so tiflich work and not a bit more. The riding mule, for instance, is fully aware of the distance, down to a rod, he Is supposed and re qtiired to traverse In the progress o( one traveling day. and all the sharp sticks or goads or dynamite on earth won’t get him to do n bit more than what he knows to be the correct dis tanca The Mexicans have got a peculiar saying in connection with this characteristic of the Mexican mule. You ask a Mexican bow far it is by mulehack to such and such a point. " ‘Two days' journey if you are not rushed, but three days if you are in a hurry,' the Mexican will reply. “His meaning is that if yon don't nsk more of your mule than you should ask of him the mule will be able to make the trip In two days. But if you attempt to drive the brute he’ll soldier on you, and in consequence the journey will take you three days.” Cairo's Corkscrsw Towsr. Writing of the ancient mosque of Ibn-Tulun. Cairo, John A. Todd In “The Banks of the Nile" shows how accidental was the design of its odd looking towsr. Ahmed Ibn-Tulun war one day holding a council of state when be allowed his attention to wnn der and sat idly twiddling a piece of paper between his fingers, shaping It into a whorl. Suddenly he realized that the councilors were waiting for his decision to a question But what question ? 4 At his wits' end to avoid confession of such discourtesy, be continued In silence to twiddle the whorl of paper Suddenly be spoke: “Call my archl tect” for the plans of bls new mosque were under consideration. Tbe Copt appeared in fear and trembling no doubt “You see this paper. Make me a tower for my mosque like that" Tbe situation was saved, nnd the shape of tbe tower, with its corkscrew outside stair, is there to this day to confirm the story. Ths Deceased Wife'e Sister. Tbe law against marrying a deceased | wife's sister, which caused so much discussion in England atone time, grew out of an ancient tribal law forbidding a father to sell more than one daughter to the same man when tbe Briton was emerging from polygamy and when for Just 21 shillings of tbe present money a man might dismiss his wife or kill her if she would not go. As civil law it was to protect tbe living wife and knit tribes closer together bj intermarriage. When ecclesiastical law became supreme a misreading of some scripture text was used to put the sis ter of a man's wife among tbe pro bibited degrees of relationship. This was the act of 1541 (32 Henry Vlll.l: “A man may not marry bis deceased wife’s sister or her daughter, but be may marry his first cousin.”—London : Standard. Tearing Cards. At the HalteropUlle club in Paris not | long ago a man achieved a record by tearing a pack of playing cards In one pull—time, 2 minutes 32 seconds The events in this card tearing contest were: Tearing the greatest possible num ber of cards tier! together top and hot-tom-time allowance, three minutes; tearing a pack of eighty cards in tbe quickest possible time; tearing tbe greatest possible number of cards iu four. This is a form of “sport" wbwein many /'renchmen specialize. Tbe men who enter tlte contests are not neers sarily powerful, but they possess enormous strength In their fingers, a strength that is further developed by careful training.—Washington Star. A Nice Point. None of tbe maids of honor to tbe queen of England Is allowed to keep a diary. A young lady who did not know of this rule was congratulating a newly made maid of honor. “And wbat interesting things you'll be able to write in your diary!” she said. "But it Is an understood thing that a maid of bonor does not keep a diary,' ' the other pointed out “But I think I should keep one all tbe same." Mid ber friend. "Then you wouldn't be a maid of honor!" was tbe retort—London Answers. A Bit of Sarcasm. “The late Dr. Morgan Dlx,” said a clergyman of New York, "bad a droll way of lightening grave subjects with little humorous nsldcs Once 1 beard him addressing a graduating class at n medical school. He began In this way: “ 'Physiologists tell us. gentlemen, that tbe older a man grows tbe smaller bls brain becomes. This explains why tbe old man knows nothing and the young one everything.' ” it Grew and Grew. “My pa caught a wonderful fish." said little Willie. “After It was dead It kept on growing.” “It couldn't do such a thing.” "Oh. yea, it did, for every time pa told about it It was bigger than It was before.’' An Intricate Story. "Before my marriage I told her all my past Ufa Don't you think I showed a wonderful courage?" "7«i, and n still more wonderful memoir '—London Opinion. The Squeeze. Wifey—l got into an swful jam at that bargain sale. Hubby—indeed! Wlfey-Yoe; ail tbe money I had wen squeezed out of my purse.—Excbauge.

ARE YOU A LACK LAND? You boys and girls who are ..working hard at school have seen., this old phrase and known what it means. You remember King John of England was called “Lackland.” A man or woman who had no money or property was called a “Lack-land,” or a “Lack-penny.” It was a term of reproach and was said of peopie who did not save anything but spent all they made. Now you boys and girls want to grow up to have plenty of money. You don't want to be called Lackpennies.” The time to start making money is now. Father and mother we are sure will give you lots of chances to make money. There are a good many things you can do for them and for yourself. Save every penny you get until it amounts to SI.OO. Then take it to the First National Bank and they will give you a bank book. Perhaps if you ask father or mother to give you a dollar to open a bank account (n your name they will do so and then you can add to it from time to time. By the time you have grown up you will have a nice sum of money waiting you. The boys and girls who save money while they are young are the boys and girls who become rich and successful men and women when they grow up. The habits you now form will be the habits you will stick to in later life. If you spend all you get while you are young, you will not save money when you grow older.
