TRACES CARTOON TO HOLLAND Charles Dana Gibson Says Thia Form of Art Originated There in IM*. In the modern sense, the cartoon originated in Holland, stimulated by the revolution of IdSS, says Charles Dana Gibson in the Mentor. From there it migrated to England and there found fertile and congenial soil. The most significant cartoons of the Eighteenth century were directed against the "bubble mania,” the speculative madness engineered by the South Sea company in London. Cartoons such as the famous one picturing fortune riding in a car driven by folly, were displayed in London shop windows and Influenced the an of Hogarth, who la accepted as the father of the modern cartoon. Following Hogarth came Rowlandson, who devoted himself to Social satire, and James Gilray, who stirred public opinion against Napoleon. Benjamin Franklin was the first American cartoonist. His work was '*'* *erode; still it inspired the colonists. His moot famous cartoon was that of • snake cut up into sections and named after the thirteen colonies. Coder this cartoon were the words “Unite or Die." America's first great cartoonist, Thomas Nast, was the product of the Civil war and for years afterward he continued to Influence public opinion. It was Nast who finally drove Boss Tweed out of New York. Another great cartoonist of that period was Tennlei. who drew the reverent and splendid “The Nation Mourning at Lincoln's Bier," printed In Bunch Just after the death of the martyred presldent Following Nast came Keppler. Victor and Gilliam. Rogers, Walker aud Herford, followed by men who have given the American cartoon a permanent place in our national history.* BUND FIDDLER IS WISE MAN Psychology Teaches Him Where to Play to Get Coins From ths Public. It is the fad to talk psychology these days, but few put it to such practical urn* as does one blind fiddler. I _ Sqmebody told him that a wellknown violinist was to give a recital *t one of the large concert halls, A r" half hour before the reclta'. Just as the early birds were arriving, the old fiddler chose the curb in front of concert ball fur a recital of his own. Ho unpacked hie well-worn instrument. dropped his shabby black hat ' and started his repertoire. "The l*ast Rose of Summer" was followed by "When You and 1 were Young. Maggie," "The Old Oaken Bucket," and others of the same school. The enthusiastic crowd grew so large pedestrians had difficulty In passing, says the New York Sun and Globe. . As time for the recital inside the hall drew near, the crowd regularly dispersed, but not without first filling the old hat with bills and coins. Nobody knew what the old fiddler muttered as he packed up his fiddle and went on bls way. Maybe It was "They know good music when they hear It" But Just as likely it may have been •'You've got to know when and where to catch ’em." Queer Probation Sult In India. Twin babies of unequal stae are the starting point of a unique probation \ suit A rich Indian merchant. Devkaran Nan JI. died leaving his fortune to Ida male children, of which he had several by his first wife. His second wife, a young Indian woman of thirty, gave birth to twins soon after her bereavement. while traveling tn a train from Bombay to Baroda. It was given out that the twins were a boy and a girl, and the widow immediately entered a claim for a share of the fortune on behalf of her son. The apparent difference In the ages of the children, however, aroused suspicion , among the other heirs, and It Is now alleged that the woman exchanged one of the twin* both of which were girls, for a. boy baby from a foundling asyturn. The case Is In tb* courts. World’s Onion Seed. In Banta Clara valley. Cal., on the lowlands the world’s onion seeds are produced. The seed is not of course, employed for edible purposes, inasmuch as they are allowed to grow until they are far too “old” for such use.

About 2,000 flat-carloads of stalk* are turned out each year. The Victim. •Tea, my “uaband's laid up, * victim of football." "But I didn't know 'e ever played the game.” *TE doesn’t.

Not Enough Forest Protection. Thirty-nine states cootala Important areas of forest land, but only 27 have organised alate forest protection on a more or less adequate ecale. Systematic fire protection of privately owned forest lands is shdly lacking. At least 166,000.000 acres of such land now receive no protection and on many other areas the protection furnished Is Incomplete and Inadequate. An average expenditure of between two and one-half and three cents an acre, or a total of $9,250,000. would fairly protect all of the privately owned forest land in the United States. The task Is at present twethirds undone. For Value Received. A Boston woman relates that during her trip to England she visited a certain place and employed a guide ; to show her around. After he had explained the principal attractions of the neighborhood she remarked as she handed him his fee: *T trust that what you have told me is absolutely true. I never feel I should pay for un- • troths" “Well, ma’am," responded the old fellow, scanning the coin, “truth or untruth, ye've had a good shlllln's worth." Bettor Animals In Canada.

The Increase ta the number of pure bred horses be tween 1»1 and 1921 was 44 per cent of cattle. 139 per cent ; of sheep, Tt per cent, and of swine, nearly 44 pei cent.

WAYS OF COMBATING DISEASE intvrnatlnnal Haatth Authority Kx. plaint the Two Main Principle* of Preventive Medicine. Doctor Elmendorf of the International health board, writing in Hygeia. say a that “preventive medicine la baaed largely on two principle*. The first, and by far th* must important principle from a general standpoint is that of breaking the life cycle of a disease at It* moat easily accessible point and so eliminating the disease. “The second is the principle of protecting man by vaccination or Immunisation, and so preventing th* onset of the disease. The first tends to blot out the malady. The second help* In the blotting out, but particularly benefits Individuals by protection. Yellow fever will serve as an example of both these type* of attack. The life cycle of the yellow fever germ consists of a period of development in the mosquito, aedes calopus, next transmission to a human host, then a period of development in this host, and finally infection of another mosquito. The first principle of prevention has been applied by exterminating and preventing the breeding of these moe quitoes. Cuba. Panama. Guayaquil, and the Central American republics of Guatemala, Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica have all been freed of the infection by the vigorous application of this method. Another means tn the prevention of this disease 1* that of rendering the individual Immune by vaccination, which has been applied successfully In preventing tl>e local spread of an epidemic. This last method, however, must necessarily be local and is only a helpful adjunct. HOUSES OF GLASS IN SIGHT They Would Be Les* Expensive and Mor* Durable Than Other*, le Claim. Persons who live In glass houses In the future may throw stones with impunity. A recent discovery of certain chemical processes has made possible the erection of houses of glass, said to be as sturdy and durable as existIng bouses of stone, concrete and wood. The first experiment of this kind will be the construction of five and I six-room cottages, tn which everything but the framework will be built of opuque glass. The location of this novel Improvement, outlined in Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is not mentioned, but the claim Is made that the proposed glass-constructed buildings will reduce construction costs; will withstand the ravage* of time and the element* better than any other form of construction; will lower the cost of upkeep and In general provide greater home comforts. Moreover, we are informed that plastering and painting will be unnecessary in glass houses, since It is possible to color the glass to the satisfaction of th* most artistic taste while It Is In course of manu- ' facture. With such a recommendation for glass houses there seems to be nothing left to do but tear down th* old and build the new. However, It might be well to defer stone throwing at least until the house* are erected. — Fur Raising Increasing. Important progress has been made In Investigations pertaining to the rearing of wild fur-bearing animals in captivity. Fur farms ar* reported • from 25 state* where fox**, skunks, raccoons, minks, opossum*, martens, muskrats, squirrel* and beavers ar* raised. It is estimated that 500 ranchers are raising silver foxes In the United States, that they have between 12.000 and 15.000 foxes tn captivity, and tllat the value of th* Investment is about 18,000.000. The discovery es I the fact that martens breed the last of July and In August ha* solved th* problem which has heretofore preventi ed the successful rearing of tb*M anl- ■ mala tn captivity and has opened up an Important field to the fur tanner.— Scientific American. - t~.
