EUROPE HAS GAMBLING MANIA

Rsturning Traveler Says Speculation Is the Ruling Passion in the Old World, 4

A discouraged returning traveler draws a dolorous picture of the Europe he left behind him. Over there, he finds, the ruling passion is the gambling mania. He sees it In the nefarlous activities of profiteers, the speculations in “valuta,” the “Schieber” and the “Schleichhaendler,” who are viewed as such a menace that the Ger man government plans to put 'the worst offenders to death and mete out hard-labor sentences to the others. He sees it In the crowds rushing to bet on the races and besieging the gowvernment lotteries. In the casinos of noted watering places the players for high stakes are deaf to the appeal of @ss fortunate countrymen with beg%gbowls in the bread lines of the refugees, according to the Philadelphia Publi¢:- Ledger. The feverish atmosphere of greed for gain without produetion, of sgybaritic pleasure-seeking and gelfish, cdreless lotus-eating, this observer holds, is inimical to art and culture. The soul shrivels and dies.

But that is not all the picture. What: a tourist sees is largely episodle, sceldental. He Is in danger always of mlis-taking-part of the wholé, a phase for the entire phenomenon. Beneath the superficial the current of the hidden life of every land runs still and «jeep. The frivolous minority is overbalanced by the great majority not mindad to take echances with demagogues who promise much and deliver little. From all over the earth “crime waves” are reported like seismic shocks, but somehow the stable equilibrium of society returns, »

“Science stays,” said a man of science; and the truth lives on' through political vicissitude, economic debacle, the impairment of social morale and all the evils that follow in the wake of the irruptions of militarism. “God would not let us get at the matchbox so often as He does,” wrote Lowe]l to a friend, “did He not know thatithe frame of His universe is flreprocx Do e SCIENCE AIDS IN ARMY DRIL

Loud-Speaking Apparatus on Motor Truck Enables AH to Hear - Orders Easlly.

If 250 lusty-lunged sergéants of the regular army should get together and shout “Fall in,” in their best drillground style, the effect would scarce1y equal that of the voice amplifier recently purchased by the signal corps and installed iln mobfle form on a motortruck. The new equipment can be used to handle large bodies of troops, to make speeches and music audible to assemblies, or to supply entertainment received by radio. The apparatus i 8 technically known as a public address system. Sounds are picked up by a high-grade transmitter placed a few feet from the speaker, or near the bandmaster's stand, if music is to be handled. The electrieal output of thig transmitter is increased about one-half million times, using a four-stage vaeuum tube amplifier. Then the current goes into a group of six horns, mounted on a folding tripod. Under ordinarily quiet conditions, a eompact erowd of 750,000 people could hear a man speaking in an ordinary voiee, through the use of this system.—Scientifie American.

Monument to Fabre.

A eommittee headed by General de Castelnau, and including leading educators and officlals of the Freneh department of Aveyron, is arranging for the erection of & statue to Jean Henri Fabre, who wrote books about inseets that were more interesting than re¢mances. The monument, now being executed by the sculptor Malet, will be placed on the central square of SaintLeons, the village where Fabre spent his childhood. The committee considered this peaceful spot the most appropriate for a statue of the “noblest and purest son of Aveyron.”

Deuce of a Question.

: A master in a large school called upon Smith, who stutters, to parse the gsentence: : >

‘“The propinquity of the porcupine made pot-shotting at the hippopotamus virtually impossible.” : Smith gave a wild glance around the room and gaid: “P-p-p-professor, now aln’t t-t-t-that a deuce of a question to ask me?™ S

FLUID USED TO LIFT LOADS Solentist Invents Liquid That, When | " Released, Expands at a Rapld : . Rate, ' ¢ A sclemtist has invented a fluld that, when released, expands at a rate that, when translated into power, can per- ' form wonderful feats in the way of'l lifting loads. At present its chief application seems to be in the lifting of motorcars to allow of the mending of punctures. A piston jack Is placed under the axle and to the jack is attached a small bottle about one foot long and weighing about three sand one-half pounds, equipped with =& valve at one end. The handle is turned slightly and the ear is promptly lifted off: the ground. With one of these little bottles a load of 30,000 pounds—ls tons—can be lifted. The terrific power of the expanding Hquid rushes through a pipe and strikes the piston of a jack with irresistible force. Lifting the erdinary automoblile is child’s play to | this wonderful bottle. ; |

If this is true, and If bottles of great size could be constructed, one might imagine great buildings being lifted from their foundations and sent toppling to destruction; if a 3-%-pound bottle "can lift 15,000 pounds, what would not a one-ton bottle accomplish? Loglcally it would seem that there is no limit te the weight that could be lifted, given the proper. apparatus to apply the power. . ’ The tremendous ‘expanding force of the fluld in the Yottle, the inventor layl.%n bu turned to other purposes besideg lifting welghts. Ice can be made with it, tires Inflated im three geconds, fires extinguished (fe¥ the escaping gas smothers flame)} and sparkling drinks carbonated ‘at very low cost. With one little bottle in the car, the motorist can Jjack up the vehicle, Inflate the new tire and make himself a cool, sparkling drink to refresh himself after his exertions, so the Inventor says. - i

JONSON ON MISSPENT LIVES

Many Modern Writers Would Like to * . Phrase the Thought 8o ‘ Happl!y. :

“What a deal of cold business doth 2 man misspend the better part of life in! in scattering compliments, tendering vieits, gathering and venting news, following feasts and plays, making a Mttle winter love in a dark corner.”

This sentence from Ben Jonson’s “Diseoveries” contains = general refleetion which every manr who has reached the age of thirty-five and has lved in civilized society at any time during the last five hundred years has frequently made to himself. But the precise and personal shade which Jonson gives it by the last nine words of his sentence belong to himeelf and to his tlme; the color with which they ptint a commonplace is not that of Milton or Dryden, of Congreve or Swift, Pope or Johnson, Wordsworth or Shelley, Tennyson er Browning, but it is very near the shade of feeling which many a writer today attempts, much less successfully, to translate into sentences.—The Nation and the Atheneum of London. ey _

Lively Old Tertoise Wins Race.

A subject fer a new fable from Aesop comes from Bickion, Devon. Visitors_on beliday in the distriet, hearing a Dartmoor farmer boast of the speed of his tortoise, aged ninety, obtained another tortoise, aged sixty, from & Lendon firm and threw out a challenge for a race. This took place in an erchard in the presence of almost «ll the inhabitants of the village. A shotgun was used to give the starting signal, it belng arranged that the winner should be the tortoise that traveled the greatest distance In ten minutes. The Dartmoor tertolse made off immediately at breakneck speed. His opponent had a brief loek around, and then drew im his head beneath his shell, refusing to budge. When the time limit had expired the Dartmoor tortoise had covered seventy yards and the visiter was still at the starting point. : :
