ART OF CONVERSATION DEAD Telephone Hae Kilied Politensss and -~ Murdered Repartes and &) Rejoinder., '/ It was, we belleve, a spinster of experience, ‘who observed that you can catch more flles with molasses than with vinegar. In the same wi@syou can best make a conversation interesting by being a good listener and letting the other party talk about himself. . The art of conversation is sald tv have become, ke the art of epistolary correspondence, dead. The telephone has killed politeness and murdered repartee and rejoinder. When at one end you get nothing but grunts and. ventriloquism punctuated here and there by & yep or a nope, niceties of speech do not greatly matter. In the good old days, when neighboring ladies discussed the nelghborhood over a fence, there was a good deal of pretty fenc-‘ ing and It took an artist”to give the right inflection and the proper .intonation which, underscored by a shrug or & nod, spoke volumes. But today so many people live in flats ;and gpartments, when they are not flivvering over the landscape, that the :backyard amenities have passed out of American life with the old-fashioned kitchen out in the yard, crazy quilts and chaperens. | .

There is talk, and everybody talks at once, but there is no conversation; just as there i{s no etiquette, no table manners and a very widespread reluctance to say grace. Promiscuity used to be considered dangerous. Today no father or mother would be so foolish as to risk an Inquiry concerning the company with which daughter had been out riding. Since they were not consulted and their objection would certainly not be heeded, the less known the soonest mended. But one thing is certaln; daughter and her date did not converse while out riding. They may have stopped at a roadhouse and gotten something fllicit; but they didn’t exchange amenities at a roadside inn. ‘The inn was a pleasant place of home comforts and much useful conversatlon. The roadhouse is ‘a place—. But there we balk. It passes description, that's all. . : ) . But we do not despair. Leg-of-mut-ton sleeves are coming back. The last time they were in fashlon conversation was a fine art.—Louisville Herald. | o :

MYSTERY OF THE| JUNGLE

Elephants Have Secret drav;yard in . Africa—Fortune Awaits Man - Who Discovers It.. —

The statement has been made many times that no white man ever-has seen the body of an elephant that ‘died from patural causes either in Africa or Indis, and where they go when they feel the summons Is one of the secrets hidden from the most persistent students of natural history. : One of the stories on that subject is that there is a secret graveyard in the mountaing in the interior of Africa, entrance to which the elephants soberly journey to find their tomb, and varled stories have been told of the millions of value'in ivory there if venturesome man could but find the elephant sleeping grounds.—OQOhio State Journal. : : o

Any French Village.

See—l am old, but I am beautiful; my devout children have embroidered my robe avith towers, steeples, crenelated battlements and beifries. I am & good mother; I teach industry and all the arts of peace. I nurse my children in my arms. . . . I am their record. . . . I have lived because 1

have hoped. 'Learn of me this blessed ‘bope which saved the fatherland. Think In me so as to think beyond yourselves. Look at this fountain, this hospital, this market that the fathers have bequeathed to their children. Work for your children as your ancestors have worked for you. Each of my stones brings you a benefit and teaches you a duty. See my cathedral, my guildhall, my Hotel-Diey, and venerate the past. But think of the futere. Your sons will know what jewels you, in your time, have eneased In my robe of stone.—Anstole Prance, o o b

Ancient Egypt Had Wheels.

The wheel was old when Egypt was stlll a new nation, and of its actual origin there is no authentic, record. One theory goes back to the distant period of cave-dwelling man, whose chief occupation lay in building. Prehistoric man dragged logs of timber from the forests day after day and plied them at an angle azainst the rocks, filling In the cracks with earth and " ‘rubble, thus sdffording himself shelter. It is thought that by using semicirenlar branches as runners underneath the logs it was found that they eould be moved forward far more easily than by just lifting the dead weight.—Detroit News.

Dellcate Job of Measuring. °

A matter which has been puzzling scientists since the day of Ben Frankiin and before is the amount and character of the electrie current across the surface of the earth. The Carnegie, a erulser maintained by the Carnegle {nstitute, for sclentific investigation, has crulsed over a large portion of the Atlantic ocean, and measured or computed the¢ magnetic force around several of the ocean paths. Reports of measurements around the entire United States show that a current of pesitive electricity of about 1-30 of 8n ampere per square kilometer was found to be flowing upward.
