DON’T GET FORCE OF CURRENT Simple Explanation of Fact That Birds Are Not Harmed by Contact With Trolley Wire. "If a trolley wire la deadly to touch, how can the birds sit upon It and be unharmed?" Is a question not infrequently asked and much less frequently answered in a satisfactory way. It Is perfectly true that the trolley wire carries an electric current strong enough to kill not only small birds, but human beings, but to do any l*arm this current must pass through the body of the bird or the person to the ground. The connection of the body with the ground need not be' direct, but It must exist in some way. A person could sit on the trolley wire just as safely as do the birds, but if he should stretch out his band and touch another wire or an iron pipe running directly or Indirectly to the ground, the full force of the current would then pass through, or be grounded, by the connection made by his body. In the case of the birds there Is nothing to afford a ground connection, and they are In consequence unharmed, the electric current passing through the wire under them as the water would be passing through a main on which a person might be sitting.

WHOLE FAMILY ENJOYS CIGAR

Members of Philippine Household Share the Pleasures of My Lady Nicotine Without Jealousy. Nowadays, when the supply of tobacco Is short and the price Is long—so that, as someone recently said, a man “can now get an excellent fivecent cigar for 25 cents" —life In the Philippines has its attractions for the smoker. Saying nothing for the quality, a glance at the accompanying illustra-

A Two-Handed Cigar of the Filipinos.

tlon leaves no doubt in anybody’s mind as to the quantity of the cigar In question. However, the young woman is not going to smoke this twohanded cigar all by herself. It Is probably a family cigar. According to a writer in Popular Science Monthly, these huge cigars are suspended by a cord from the ceiling of the living room, so that anyone pa swing by can snatch a puff.

Island in the Air.

Three miles south of the Mesa Bncanbada In Mexico is a splendid specimen of fantastic erosion—an “island” in the air; a rock with overhanging sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy acres in area on the fairly level top, Indented with countless bays, notched with dizzy chasms. The greater part of the island overhangs the sea like a huge mushroom, and on the top stands a town, which for artistic charm, ethnological interest and romantic history has no peer. This little town of Acoma is one of the prehistoric Puriilo architecture. It was only with inconceivable labor this island town in the air was built It was reached by a mere trail of toe holes up the stem of the “mushroom.” The age of the Island is not known, except that it was already old in 1540.

Not Guilty.

Archie was roller-skating for the first time. You know what that means. It means plaster and liniment After thirteen somersaults and 27 violent encounters with the boarding, Archie decided that he had had enough for one day. He also decided that the next time he roller-skated he would do so on a feather bed. On hands and knees he began to crawl painfully from the arena. He was nearly out of the wood when irate attendant hailed him. “Hi I” cried the man. “You should be in the next room! Don’t you know beginners are not allowed to skate In this hour Archibald gased at the attendant without rancor. “WdL" he answered sadly, “who** been skstingF

To Give Bibles to Mayors.

A walk across New York state tor the distribution of Bibles Is planned, begtaatog at Niagara Falls, by Rev. Samuel O. Benson, who served as chaplain overseas with the Fifty-ninth infantry, the New Tock Evening Post states. In behalf of the American Bible society he will present a Bible to the mayor of each city through which ho passes and to any needy persons brought to his attention. to army uniform and carrying a knapsart fun of Bibles, he expects to make 20 stiles a day.

HOPE ON.

There was never a day so minty and gray That the blue was not somewhere above it; There la never a mountain top ever so bleak That some little flower does not love It There was never a night so dreary and dark That the stars were not somewhere shining; There Is never a cloud so heavy and black That it has not a silver lining. There ia never a waiting time, weary and long. That will not some time have an ending; The most beautiful part of the landscape is where The shadows and sunshine are blending. Upon every life some shadows win fan. But heaven sends the sunshine of love; Through the rifts in the clouds we may. if we win. —~— See the beautiful blue above. Thon let us hope on, though the way be long. And the darkness be gathering fast; For the turn tn the road Is a little way on. Where the home lights win greet us at last. ' ’ .

DISEASE CARRIED BY INSECTS

Small Creatures Not Only Offensive, but Constitute a Positive Menace to Health. The role of insects in the transmission of diseases is becoming more prominent each year, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. The fly, the mosquito, the flea and the “cootie” have come to represent not merely offensive nuisances to man, but also positive menaces to his health. The habits of these insects have therefore become of interest to the medical investigator and the sanitary expert no less than to the entomologist. It has been definitely determined that the last named of these disease carriers is sensitive to temperatures that approach the body temperature of man. Owing to the high temperature of the body in summer, they wander out on ordinary garments. For the same reason they wander away from persons in fever. It is recorded that persons leaving a temperate climate for the tropics may become freed from these pests. It has also been found that black clothing may repel them, for the reason that/ it absorbs more heat rays than lighter colors. Perspiration, induced by warm clothing will also hasten the exodus, stoop the “cootie” does not tolerate excessive moisture.

"Ye Old King James."

The Tottenham magistrates have just transferred the license of “Ye Old King James and Ye Tinker.” This quaintly-styled tavern claims to have been established for over a thousand years. The house stands in White Webb’s Lane, near Waltham Cross, and not far from Theobald’s park. The king was James I, and the tinker was drinking beer there or quaffing ale, when his majesty stopped at the house during a royal hunt in Enfield Chase. The tinker expressed a desire to see a king in the flesh. James said he should, and took him along with him on his horse to where his nobles were awaiting him. He then disclosed his identity to the astonished tinker, and wound up the incident by conferring a knighthood upon him. That, at any rate, is the story. —London Mall.

Fire God Diverts Flow of Lava.

During the recent lava flow down the side of Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii an ancient Chinese farmer looked out of his doorway to see the molten mass making straight for his hut. Panic stricken, he called upon all the gods he had ever heard of to spare his home and his farm, but to no avail until an old Hawaiian helper screamed, “Pray to Pilll” —the Hawaiian God of Fire. The Oriental fell upon his knees and prayed loudly and earnestly. To his great relief the flow changed its course just in time by making an almost right angle turn without apparent cause, flowed on past his home, and then made a sharp turn back to its original course. Proof of this freak of the flow is furnished by the now solidified lava which surrounds the farm on three sides.

NO LONGER DEATH SENTENCE

Science Today Can Overcome "White Plague,” as Holmes Called Dreaded Tuberculosis. “The white plague,” a term known in all languages and all countries to designate tuberculosis, was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, and first used tn 1861, when the poet and humorist, who was also a physician, issued his medical novel, “Elsie Venner.” Holmes described the experiences encountered by a country doctor in the course of his trips with his pony, and spoke in one passage of “the dead winter, when the white plague of the north has -caged its wasted victims, shuddering as they think of the frozen soil which must be quarried rock to receive-them.” __ The comparatively recent origin of the term emphasizes the fact that the campaign against tuberculosis is of quite recent origin, says a statement of the Michigan Antl-Tu-berculosis association. In the day of Holmes tuberculosis was still equivalent to a death sentence. Little was known about the disease, and when a person once was qffllcted with it he was given that. Now the knowledge of treating the disease has Increased so much that a large percentage of cases recover, and when discovered early enough practically all recover.

FAMOUS BOWERY IS NO MORE

Prohibition and General Good Times Responsible for Disappearance of Its Oldtime Characteristics. New York’s old-time Bowery is no more. No final rites marked its passage,-nor has the last requiem been sung, but of recent months the change has been progressing swiftly and noticeably. Only old-timers can remember the “Tub of Blood” and other famous dives, but now even the modern hangouts are disappearing one by one before the advent of national prohibition. Most potent es the changes In America’s former driftway of human wreckage is the virtual disappearance of the “Bowery bum." A newspaper feature writer recently sojourned on the street for a time, and he reported that the “bums" are now almost all at least casual workers, and that “cash," or a sizable roll of the “long green," abounds.

Exchange No Robbery.

A boy and his father had occasion to get their own tea ready, and thought the easiest prepared meal would be boiled eggs. The eggs were put" on to boll—and forgotten—until the boy suddenly remembered them, and made the remark that he was afraid they would be hard. “Never mind," said the father. “Let the cold water tap 'run on them.” After a while he asked if they were cold. “Yes,” replied the lad. “They are quite cold.” ' ' “Well, take them back and say your father wanted duck eggs.”—London Ideas. g
