‘ L ————— - TO EXPLORE OCEAN'S DEPTHS British Government Contemplating an . Expedition for the Gathering of Scientific information. The Bri‘ish government is contemplating the dispatch of a deep-sen exploring expedition which is expected to gather much valuable sclentific information. Most people Imagine that the depths of the ocean have been pretty thor oughly explored, but this is very far from being true. As a matter of fact, only a very small fraction of the whole area of deep sea bottom has been surveyed. Attention is particularly called to a vast subaqueous region arcund the Falkiand islands and up as far as Montevideo, which is almost unknown, and which, haviog a depth of less than 100 fathoms, may offer opportunities for the development of lucrative fisheries. The first deep-sea exploring expedition, that of the famous Challenger, was set on foot just 50 years ago. The ship left port in 1872, and ideas on the subject were in those days so primitive that there was dispute as to whether she should use wire or hempen rope for soundings. It took a whole day to make one sounding, or a single cast of the dredge for bringup fishes and other animals. Sindq then deep-sea sounding apparatus been much improved by cable ships, and fishing gear has been greatly ified by steam trawlers, which use dredges. Besides, a great deal that 1s of value has been learned by oceanographic expeditions subsequent to that of the Challenger. Hence the new exploring vessel will start out with a prospect of accomplishing a very great deal of work of real importance, ‘V-__Z _

- “T . want ‘Ressurection In the Parks,'"” demanded a little chap of the librarian at the West Indlanapolis branch library. *“My brother sald for me to get it for him."” The librarian did not wish to let the little chap know she was puzzled. She knew It was something that went on In thé parks that the boy wished. The*’ “resur;guon.” she décided, might be “recreation,” and that was what she suggested. *“That's It ‘smiled the little chap, “I knew I had that word wrong.” » -Librarians often deal with little brothers and sisters who are running errands for big brothers and sisters an high school. When one of the tots asked the librarian at the West Indianapolis branch for “Europe's Fables.” the librarian smiled, for that was simple to translate into “Aesop's Fables.” It was different when another asked for “Out of the Twist,” the librarian then had to inquire diligentIy before she found that the child ‘patron meant “Oliver Twis("—lndil.mapolu News. - .

Explanation Briefly Made.

Harold Knutson, Republican whip of the house, tells a yarn about an old fellow up in his country who has a job carrying the mail from the depot to the postoffice, for all of which he gets $1 a trip. : Some of the boys around the grocery store the other night got to kidding the old chap about his job and, eventually, they asKed him how much he made out of it, : : “I make $1 a trip, three trips a day, $125 a month, or $3,000 a year,” he said. : These figures not sounding just right, one of the boys sought to pin him down on his calculations. “How do you make $3,000 a year? he asked. “A-carryin’ the mall,” responded the carrier, and with those few words he departed. ,

Saturday Change.

Many storekeepers begin thelr Saturdays by shopping in the neighbor hood for small change—dimes, nickels, and pennies. Seven customers out of ten at the butcher’s, baker’s and grocer's on Saturday pay for their pur chases with $lO and $5 bills. Not one in twenty counts out the exact amount. . One storekeeper has found that $5O in subsidiary coins s none too little to carry him through. Transit lines and automatic vending machines receive tons of coins in a day. Within 48 hours these colns are back in circulation. Dimes, nickels and pennies are the most active elements of our circulating medium. : :

Cat Evidently Was Offended.

A yellow cat called Shimmy, of no particular breed, but lately g cher ished mascot of the Aberdeen (Wash.) fire department, left her home there suddenly. Shimmy, according to the fire laddies, who hunted three days without success for their vanished pet, made her nest in a cofl of hose which ils used to wash the floor eof the fire hall. On the morp of Shimmy’s disappearance a careless fireman turned the water into the coil. Shimmy was catapulted toward the cefling and shot by the stream of water into the street. The cat has not yet come back. | - Financial Backing. ~ “Your friend the reformer seems to ‘be enjoying great prosperity these days.” A “He had a stroke of luck.” s “What was It e “He ran across s very rich persos who had a troubled conscience.” 3 SRS County tax recipts were swelled $36,665.52 last week when Morton P.

CLARITY IN NIGHT THOUGHTS

Brain ls Frequently at Best During the . Btill, Quiet Hours of the Dark.

notebook under their pillows and a lamp at hand, 8o that they may dash off the thoughts that come to them in the watches of the night. There is about these thoughts a clarity thet does not come with daytime thinking -4 sureness of vision that approaches the clairvoyant. Misfortunes never loom so full or realistic as after midnight ; but joy and pleasure lose something of their glamor, their evidence; doubt creeps in with them. A problem which we bhave wrestied in the daylight, weighipg it with all our intelligence, is settled in a certain way, calmly and judiclously and after mature reflection. Our decision seems the right one. And thén, suddenly, in the dead of the night, that seif-same issue Dobs up before our mental vision, wakes us from a sound sleep and settles itself in quite another way, In one great flash, A strong white light has been turned upon the braln and has revealed there a conclusion of which we had no inkling before. The processes of arriving at it are a closed chapter. The clairvoyant brain has registered a result only. And agaln and again it will be found to be the right, tie expedient solution. Memory, too, is pecullarly keen In the silences between midnight and four in the moming. All the cobwéps have been swept from the brain by the first hours of sieep; the body and nerve centers are singularly rested; there are no nolses to disturb and some subconscious power is at work within us.

THAT LUCKY RABVBIT’S FOOT Must Be Procured omy.umri Certain Circumstances if the Charm : is to Have Power.

You have undoubtedly heard about wearing a rabbit's foot for luck. Do you know what is the significance’ of it, where it is to be carried, and why it 1s lucky? Well, here it 1s: “The rabbit's foot is esteemed a powerful talisman to- bring good fortune to the wearer and protect him from all dangers,” says an nnthorlty..‘ “As this bellef is more or less common throughout the South it may be well to state how the charm is prepared, for the benefit of those who wish to be put op the royal road to health, wealth and prosperity. “It must be the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit, and that .is one caught in a graveyard, although one captured under the gallows would probably answer as well. It must be taken at the midnight -hour and the foot amputated. The foot must then be carried secretly In the pocket until by chance the owner happens upon a hollow stump in which water has collected from recent rains. The foot is then dipped three times into this water and the charm is complete. " “Among the negroes and uneducated whites of the South the reputed possessor of this potent talisman Is at once feared and respected.”

That the secret of the silkworm was Jealously guarded is well known, and & tradition is told of a Chinese princess who tried to import the Insects into the country whither she was going. Certainly It seems probable that sllk making was known as long ago as 2800 B. C., when Emperor Chin Nong, t 0 whom is ascribed the invention of the plow, is sald to have begun the planting of mulberry trees, apd his successor, Hoan-ti, Intrusted to his wife the investigation into the rearing of the silkworms, in the year 2602 B.

Inheritance of Insanity.

According to Doctor Kener, director of a large lunatic asylum in Roumania, insanity, when transmitted, occurs at an earlier age in _each suc cessive gemeration. Of 250 pairs of parents, reports the Journal of the American Medical Assoclation, and offspring, 39 per cent of the offspring were found to have had their first attack of insanity before the age of twenty-five, a considerable portion being congenital imbeciles. Mothers transmitted much more frequently than fathers, and daughters are affected more often than sons; also the effspring are affected at about half the age of the parent, being In most Instances either congenital imbeciles or cases of adelescent Insanity,
