Why worry when the swimming Is good? Flying is sadly in need of a safety Attachment. Don’t make a man hot by telling trim to beep cool. Among the few things that are better broken may be mentioned heat waves. A German scientist has found 61, 400,000 germs in a raisin. 801 l your raisins. Man has constructed the flying machine, but he has not succeeded in taming it Lm -- Life-insurance men who refused to take chances on the lives of aviators inade a good guess. Instead of trying our popular songs tm the dog we should first have them cung to the cow and note results. The emperor of China is to wear a military coat of European cut and tuck his shirt into his trousers. China la up and coming. That boy aviator who cuts circles to the sky will not have to wait more than a week or two before finding himself the hero of a 5-cent thriller. A New York woman has recently been hunting through that city for an honest lawyer. When last heard from she was reported to be hoping on.

That New York woman who sent f6OO worth of jewels to the Iceman by mistake did not wrap up the chunk of Ice he left” under the impression that tt was a diamond. A St. Louis professor has discovered that noise shortens life, and this discovery we recommend to the whistling milkman and the neighbor *who rises at 4:00 a. m. to mow his lawn. It may be true that a cow gives flown her milk better when there is tousle in the air, as an expert says, but that is no reason why the milkman should whistle while making his early morning calls. A financial news Item reports a "superfluity of money in London." But even under such conditions and with summer heat prevailing the average Englishman probably will not admit that he has money to burn. •% A Florida woman who is the mother of 13 children has received a souvenir spoon from the state. As a dozen spoons constitute a set, it will readtiy be seen that she can furnish her table sooner by saving trading stamps. A California girl, fined $25 for racing her automobile against a steam locomotive, told the magistrate that the fun was worth the price. That 'is the trouble with the speed maniacs. The fun is more important to them than the safety of the public highway and the fine that may be thrown in. The only way to stop it is to impose a penalty that is weightier to them than the excitement of railroad speed on an open road.

Americans are winning in fields where intellectual ability counts, as well as In more materialistic linpp. The Royal Academy of Science of Prussia has conferred on a young man who formerly was a student at Columbia university. New York, the Leibnitz gold medal, 1 a very notable distinction, and awarded only to those showing high scholarship. The winner is the first American to whom the priie has been given. Everybody will rejoice that the forest fires which threatened destruction to the big trees of Sequoia National park in Californa, have been brought under control and that the danger is past for the present. The big trees are unique, and once burned could never be replaced. They are among the most interesting of the natural curiosities of the T'nitod States, and it is to be hoped may be preserved for hundreds of years in addition to the long life they have already enjoyed. The little submarine boat Salmon, built for the United States, navy, seems to have shown beyond a doubt that she is seaworthy. She made, a trip from Quincy, Mass., to Bermuda, over a course where rough weather and heavy waves are frequently encountered. and went through a rather trylng experience. But she stood the test and has demonstrated that craft of this kind may be operated effectively on the surface of the water as well as below. Her exploit adds another to the list of American submarines. A woman lawyer, who had exhausted every other resource during the trial of a case, ended up by crying. That is an argument that no male attorney has been able to answer. Gold continues to pour out of Alaska In a steady stream, with a fair prospect that the year’s yield wni beat all records. The recent addition tc the World’s supply of the precious metal is without precedent. Anj the United States gets a big part rt the output and hence is “well fixed” uu* Withstanding the large exporta lately.
