SLEEP WAS NOT FOR HER ‘ Little One Got What Consolation -She Could Out of Foregoing Promlsed Reward. 1 The parentally imposed afternoon nap has long been childhood’s bane. Harry S. Smith, secretary of the park board was telling the other day of difficulties of afternoon napping experienced by his offspring. - A youthful -daughter is especially given to insomnia at the time in the| afternoon when it is insisted that she shall nap. It is no fault of hers. She strives strenuously to woo Morpheus, but to no avail. The sleep god is coquettish and he comes only when he* can steal upon his victims. The other afternoon the tot was doing her best to sleep. Dutifully she closed her eyes, breathed rhythmically| and counted sheep jumping over thei fence, as instructed. Sleep would not. come. But it would never do to dis-, appoint a parent. So when the qnes-; tion came, “Are you sleeping, daught,g;.;" she murmured slumberously, o« .huh.O! ‘ i

But her message was not convincing. So she was offered a dime as a reward for sleeping. Time and again: she made the effort, but always it wa.sf fruitless. Then she began to squirm., Finally she sat up in her bed. Her! manner was eloquent of conviction of the futility of further effort, after resignation of claim upon the reward. | “Oh, I don’t care; I don’t want the dime,” she said. “My bank is a penny bank, anyhow.”—Louisville Times.

OCEAN NOT YET CROSSED

And War Has Somewhat Lessened the Thought of Its Extreme De- \‘ sirabllity. A

The year now drawing toa close was { ‘Tull of promise of many things which have been laid aside or hidden beneath the black cloud of war. Amongl ;them all none was more attractive than the plan to cross the Atlantici ocean in an airship. On both sides ot the Atlantic large sums of. money were ;Spent and many trained minds were ‘'working on the problem. That the .crossing will be made some day there ‘is little doubt; that ultimately the :Journey will be accomplished ‘with the ;same precision as by our present .ocean liners is also probable.. Howrever, the prediction made in these 'pages early in the year that 1914 'would not be the historical year of locean mastery has come true, writes ‘H. H. Windsor in Popular Mechanics, ‘and there are some who will view the first crossing with less enthusiasm and isatisfaction now than six months ago. {The air is so much vaster than the ;ocean, and correspondingly harder to 'patrol, that our feeling of security will in no measure be increased when a ‘fleet of airships can leave the other iside and hover overhead{between the "B‘msets. j e : ; 5

Hundred-Foot Standard.

i The Western Society of Engineers jhas had prepared a 100-foot length istandard, which it has presented to the city of Chicago. This standard is ’n steel rod 102 feet long, two inches ‘wide and half an inch in thickness, '‘which rests on rollers;secured to substantial brackets fixed'to the wall. The igraduations, which were established by Prof. L. A. Fischer of the United 'States bureau of standards, Washington, were at zero, one foot, one yard, pne meter, ten feet, 26 feet, 50 feet, 66 ieet, 20 meters, 80 meters and 100 féet, and at each of these points a disk of an alloy of 90}‘p‘ox“cpnté platinum and ‘ten per cent iridlum 65.16 inch in diameter was Inserted in the rod flush with its surface, the exact division point being marked on the disk. The 'work of graduatfon proved remarkably pecurate, as is. shown by the correction table furnished for use in connection with comparisons of measures.

. Car Fares. . dLooked at in:the sense of the broadgr civics, says, Louls Bell in the Hleco Rallwayy%oumal, the single fare th & long radius of country, which can be reached by five cents, meets conditions Twere better than would be possible by ‘the Huropean gone system Wwith its apparently low rate of fare covering a, limited area, within which icompam‘ti';ely few would from choice ‘wish to I''ve. The long and short of the whol matter is that anybody who ,brles /on an ordinary Buropean tramway 'to feover the distances which he is wont to cover at home, will find the theap fares he has heard of piling up ery neatly, to say nothing of coming iko a definite realization that the time iof. transit and the asperities of travel ‘make im think lovingly of home. -
