tims of Superstition.
It must have surprised, some people
to read of the Tipton case r where
men were prosecuted for threatening
a woman said to "cast spalls." For,
though, belief In witchcraft la still
prevalent In ports of France, most
Lople fancied it long dead In Britain.
There was a time when It was no
laughing matter for any woman to
possess a dark eye, a prominent tooth,
or a Wack cat, especially if she did
cot get on well with her neighbors,
says a writer In the Continental edi
tion of the London Mall. But the
law makes no provision today for deal
ing drastically with witches, nor are
they any longer allowed to roast un
popular old women on the continent,
as In the uncomfortable medieval
dusk, when no womtfn was safe, and
an elderly one needed to step warily.
It is hardly possible In these polite
and lenient times to realize that for
centuries Europe literally blazed with
witch fires. Sprenger tells us that
the total execution of witches in Eu
rope must have reached the incredible
figure of 9,000,000. Prague burnt 1,-
000,000 In one year (as did Como and
Paris), and destroyed 50 in one great
fire. We are told the smell of witch
burning was scarcely ever out of the
atr, and apparently the fires were
never out.
And that sort of tiling went on to
a lesser extent in most of the cities,
for the Bible said, "Thou shalt not
suffer a witch to live," and they had
a way of reading things very literally
then.
Witch-burning has gone, but super
stitions still linger with us. We fling
the spilt salt over the shoulder. We
touch wood —a reminder of touching
the cross. We avoid the third light
We don't go under a ladder—a relic
of Tyburn days. We shirk 18, and
dislike starting things on Fridays.
The fact Is that we still have deep
In our natures, as a residue of pre
historic times, fear of unknown pow
ers. In olden days people believed
in goblins, vampires and devils, and
the priests devised charms to exor
cise them. The psychologist says
many of our fancies originated In the
fears of infancy. Buried or sup
pressed Ideas persist In the subcon
scious element of the cerebral gray
cells, and in later life crop up at the
surface as mere reflections.
But It is unwise to seek for omens
and portents and to put dependence
on charms. The mind has so domi
nant a power over the body that if
we believe a thing too strongly it may
come about

A British officer had been sent for

brave warriors never do. I am very
sorry. To make amends I place my

Insects Rank Among
Wonders of Nature
Insects are wonderfully constructed
creatures. Any part of their structure
Is truly remarkable. Consider the
eyes, for Instance. These are of two
kinds, namely simple eyes and com
pound eyes. The former are like
"small polished lenses." The latter
are divided Into minute areas, or
facets. Folsom says that these facets
are not necessarily equal In size, for
In dragon flies the dorsal facets are
frequently larger than the ventral.
Their number is often enormous. The
common house fly has 4.000 facets to
each eye; the swallow-tall butterfly
may have as many as 17,000." The
beetle of the genus Mordella has 25,-
000, and a hawk or sphlngld night-fly
ing moth 27,000. In most .species of
two-winged flies, In the wasp-like four
winged flies, and In other kinds of
Insects, the eyes of the male ar«
larger and closer together than those
of the female. The difference la at
tributed to the fact that the male Is
more active than the female, especial
ly In the matter of seeking ont the
opposite sex. The maggots or flies
which live In darkness have no eyes.
How Wool It Tested
Wool fibers are ahort and kinky.
They give a characteristic sensation
when drawn between the teeth, smol
der when Ignited, leaving an Irregular
lump of ash and giving off the odor of
burning feathers. Wool dissolves
when boiled for 15 minutes In a solu
tion containing one tableapoonful of
lye to a pint of water. Larger amounts
of alkaline washing powder may be
used Instead of lye. This Is an ex
cellent way to detect fabrics made of
both wool and cotton, as the cotton
will not disappear under such treat
ment

Serious Work of Diver
Hat Humorous Momenta
Diving la a very serious business,
but at the same time it had Its laugh
able moments, writes a diver In a
London paper. He continues:
I remember one day when I was at
the bottom of the sea an old lady
asked the attendanta if she could
communicate with me by telephone.
The permission was granted and the
conversation ran something like this:
"Hullo I What are you doing thereT"
"I'm Just sitting down, having a
rest."
"Good gracious 1 What are you sit
ting on?"
"On some rocks."
i "Oh, dear me I You are surely not
sitting on those damp rocks. YouH
catch an'awful cold!"
Here Is. a laughable conversation
which one of my assistants overheard
on a landing-stage.
Three old ladles were standing be
side a section that was being repaired,
and against which was propped a
builder's ladder.
I had not gone doiWn, but was not
in view, all the same. My diving dress
lay nearby.
Said the first lady: "Oohl Look at
the diver's uniform. I wonder what
he Is doing?"
One of the other old ladles cast a
glance at the ladder, then said: "Oh, I
up there repairing the
roof!"
My attendants and I have a special
code of signals. Three sailors, watch
ing, asked the attendunt If they might
hold the life-line for a few minutes.
I happened to give a signal soon
after, which they did not understand.
Receiving no reply, I repeated the sig
nal several times.
An old lady standing nearby became
alarmed at the movements of the line,
and ran over to the attendant In great
excitement, exclaiming:
"Help! Quick, attendant, your diver
wants a boat to go down and rescue
mm."
Brave Woman Scientist
Walking up to a Moro datto and
requesting a sample of his blood for
analysis looks like a formidable job,
when it Is recalled that the Moros,
warlike Malays with a reputation for
fanatical Mohammedanism, are usu
ally regarded as the most truculent of
ali the peoples of the Philippines. Yet
this Is tfnat Mrs. Ella F. Grove, an 1
American scientist, now on her way !
back to the United States, has done,
not once, but hundreds of times. Mrs. !
Grove has been conducting anthropo- ■
logical studies based on comparative ;
blood tests among a number of orlen
tal races whose origins are still a ,
riddle, under the auspices of the Na
tional Research council and the New
York hospital. In addition to her
large collection of data from the
Moro country, she has similar sets of
facts gathered among the more trac
table Philippine tribes, including the
Bogobos, Igorots and Negritos.
School Failurea
That nearly 28 per cent of the first
grade pupils fail to pass to the second
grade In due course is shown by an
inquiry conducted by the Interior de
partment bureau of education as to
the causes of children's failures In
school. Inability to measure up to the
requirements In reading and arithme
tic, unnecessary absences from school
and lade of general physical and men
tal development account in great
measure for this condition. Unduly,
large classes, placing children of wide
ly different age and mental ability in
the same class, too many Interrup
tions to school work and lack of co
operation on the part of parents are
contributing causes.
March of Oar Year a
We advance in years somewhat In
the manner of an Invading army in a

Oarr of Livonia, N. Y., says be remem
bers carting potatoes when they were
•old for 11 cents a bushel. And in the
fall of 1896 ft man took 1,000 bushels
of potatoes to PlUard to sell the lot
for ISO—a nickel a bushel. But the '
deal did not go through and rather
t|i«n take the tubers back home and

WHY
Milk b * Health Giver end
a Body Builder
"Svery boy should have a quart of
milk a day until he has attained his
growth; and every girl should have
a quart of milk a day. until she has
wsaned her last baby." Quoting one
of the wfrld's greatest scientists in
nutrition, H. C. Sherman of Columbia
university.
Further, we are told, If we wish to
remain young and have the best health,
wer may well follow the practice of
aalng a quart el milk a day through
out our adult life. Using It, mind you
—not necessarily drinking It Made
into cream scraps, bread, custards, pud
dings, scalloped with other foods, In
cocoa—who cares in what way, Just
so long sis the dally quart is there.
Occasionally, but very occasionally.
Indeed, we find a person who cannot
take milk, even when It Is cooked Into
or with foods. These persons are ex
empt, but we cannot help feeling sorry
that they go through life nutritionally
crippled in this way.
Why milk and why so much milk?
It Is the cheapest source of the
needed animal muscle-bulldlng food.
It Is the richest of all foods in bone
bulldlng substances; lime and phos
phorus.
It contains all three—or four, If
there are four—vitamins, if the milk
Is produced by healthy, rightly fed
and cared-for cows.
Milk is not a "cure all," although
when It Is used to replace a part of
our modern, white bread, meat and po
tato dietary, it is a "cure for much."
Not every wrong can be righted by
using more milk, but many of them
may.
The moral of our story Is to use
milk If you wish the happiness of good
health. Give it to children in the
abundance needed to make them
strong. Take a dally quart yourself.
Drink It raw if it Is clean and agrees
with you and you like it 801 l it, If
you need to. Learn to ihake It into
attractive dishes. Spread the good
news of Its value.
Why World Hails New
Production of Helium
A new way of getting helium has
been suggested in Germany by Dr.
Kurt Peters of the Physical Technical
institute of Berlin. It is to be dis
tilled from radioactive minerals used
in various Industries, and mainly from
monazlte sand, which Is used for
Welsbach mantles. Although it has
been known for a long time that these
minerals give off helium when heat
ed, the gas has never been recovered
commercially. Doctor Peters claims
Jt Is the largest source of helium In
Germany at the present time. He es
timates that a production of from
16,000 to 20,000 cubic feet is available
annually.
While this amount will not be suffi
cient for use In dirigibles, it is expect
ed to suffice for technical purposes.
Helium has been most difficult to ob
tain because the United States, which
ts the only country in the world pro
ducing the rare gas In large quanti
ties, has stringent export laws pro
hibiting its sale to foreign countries
except with the ssmction of the War
and Navy departments.
Why Dreams Are of Value
"Dreams," said a doctor, "are not
only useful symptoms to the psycho
analyst—they are useful to us doctors,
too.
Tor maay maladies have their own
peculiar kind of dreams, and Just as
Jaundice ts denoted by a yellow skin,
so heart trouble is denoted by dreams
of floating and flying high above tha
earth.
"The neurasthenic dream of trou
bles, anxieties, death and failures. The
consumptive have very happy dreams
—revels, dancing and feasting. Those
afflicted with liver complaint dream,
on the other hand, 1 of funerals, snd
the rheumatic dream of burns and
blows and hard knocks."
Why Rata Leave Ship*
Cats desert ships, as rats are sup
posed to do, but for different reasons,
according to the radio operator on
board the Cold Harbor. Ha ssys that
they leave If they do not like tha gal
ley or the cabins, and when they look 1
over another ship as a prospective
home they Investigate as carefully as
any newly married couple examine
their first apartment Is it true that
rats really desert a ship because of
premonitions, or Is It a sailor's super
stition, of which there are many?
Many tales are told of rats scuttling
down the ropes when s vessel Is la
harbor, and the vessel going down on
the next trip. Bat we have our doubts.

No Partner of the Devil
One time Servala Le Roy, the Illu
sionist was playing in Milwaukee.
He ran out of rabbits—a serious situ
ation for any magician. Le Boy
found that an old German who lived
outside of the city raised rabbits. He
immediately went to the farm. The
rabbits were there—plenty of them—
and the required number was soon
bought and paid for. Le Roy was SO
pleased that he pulled out a pad of
his personal passes and wrote out one
for the farmer and his wife. The Ger
man took one look at the pass and
his eye fell upon a picture of a devil
that adorned the slip of paper. Then
he seized the rabbits and threw the
money back In Le Roy's hands. He
would have nothing to do with any
transaction hi which the devil was
concerned. —Howard Thurston In Col

Doctor«* Heart Detective
An experimental model of the first
portable electro-cardiograph, used in
studying the electric currents of the
heart, has recently been demonstrated.
The cardiograph itself Is not a new
device, but never before has there
been an Instrument which Is portable,
nor one commercially developed In
which vacuum tubes are used for am
plifying the heart voltages.
Records of a patient's heart may
be obtained now at the doctor's sur
gery or In the patient's home. A doc
tor can easily learn to operate the
portable device after a few demon
strations, says a writer in English
Mechanics, and It is expected that the
apparatus will be producible at a cost
and in quantities that will permit of
its wide use throughout the medical
profession.

Why One Feela "Blue"
