Naturalists are forever endeavor
ing to ftnd a reason for everything In
nature. For Instance, they have a
very sound theory to explain the ex
traordinary differences In the dura
tion of life of different animals.
The May fly. the shortest lived
creature in ekietenoe, crowds the
whole of Its little life into one even
ing la which it finds a mate, lays its
two packets of eggs and dies. The
elephant lives for fOO years. Whales
probably live longer. A horse or a
cat may live 30 years. Eagles, vul
tures, and tome sea bird* live up to
100 years or more; the email birde
rarely over *3p t . Lobsters may live 89
years. A sea anemone has been known
to live 66 years. A queen bee was
kept In captivity for 16 years. Among
all the thousands of species of In
sects, the Individuals of a very few
live more than a year, the adult life
of most being a tew days or weeks.
It has been observed that nearly all
long-lived animals produce few young
at e time and these only at long in
tervals; while the short lived ani
mals produce a great many eggs and
these all at one time. Thus the prob
ability is strong that Nature has or
dained that each animal before ceas
ing to exist, must do its share to
wards Insuring the perpetuation of
Its epecles. It takes the little May
fly but a tingle evening to play Its
part, while the elephant produces
comparatively few offspring in the
course of 800 years.
The Spendthrift
■V BRETON BRALEY.
T 1 U r
If I had saved each penny
Which foolishly I spent.
I’d doubtless now have many
To keep me well ooutect.
If I had thought and pondered *
About each single sou,
I doubtless would have squandered
At most a very few.
But while the cash was clinking
Within my portly purse
1 spent it without thinking
For better or for worse,
And now I’m pretty seedy
And badly out at heels.
In fact, I’m broke and needy
And ravenous for meals.
Ah. me, I’ve been a dancer
To all the pipes they played.
And—well, you see the answer
Before you here displayed;
The primrooe path Is sunny.
But I am broke and done;
1 should have saved the money—
But I’d have missed the ran.

Humanity's New Eye Has the
. Eagle's Faded a Thousand Times
You would have the eye of the
eaglo faded if you could eee a bullet
leave the mouth of e cannon and
watch It aa It apeeded along It* route
to tho target, \
But no human eye or bird eye will
over be quick onough to do any aucli
thing.
Nevertheless, the cenera—the won
derful camera which la seeing more
and more things that the btvnan eye
cannot detect —Is now making It pos
sible for you to get some Ides what
that cannon ball or shell does and
what It looks like In Ita flight
This new camera la the lntoat thing
In photographic progress and Inven
tion. It takos a photograph in one
flve-thousandth part of a second! It's
so quick that the human hand can
not take the picture. It's so quick
that the cannon bell Itself must take
its own picture!
, Here is the story of the dlsoovery
snd a description of how the camera
worked when tosted:
One of the world’s champion lens
motors manufactured a lens for a
camera that he believed would be as
feat as light Itself. And you know
that light Is about the faateat thing In
the world. It travels hundreds of
miles In a second. He believed thet
this lens would capture light waves
of the shortest and quickest kind.
And he tested It to a point whore It
registered an Image on a sensitised
photograph plate in the live-thou
sandth part of a second. It might be
faster than that even —but there is
nothing that one can measure It by.
That'e as fast aa any of the Instru
ments that could be used In this ex
periment could be made to register.
He selected a gun to test the lens
on because that provided the swiftest
sort of motion to Its projqptile. And
he chose the biggest gun for tho rea
son that he believed the biggest gun
gave the fastest start to lta shelL To
get the best results he determined
that the shell should start the mech
anism. The camera that waa used
waa a very large affair. In fact, there
The Beauty That Endures
Does It ever enter the mind of Mrs. Madeline Force-Aetor, widow of
John Jacob Aetor, multimillionaire by grace of unearned increment, as she
lolls in her $30,000 beauty parlor, with its gold-bordered mirrors, its gor
geous rugs, its tiled floors, lta gem-studded vibrators and Its latent and
swellest devices to augment nature* charms that tho beauty moat worth
while Is a beauty more than akin-deep.
Thousands of women In New York city would like to bo beautiful in
face and in figure and have as good a right aa she to aspire to be, but they
cant; because high rents and the other Impositions of privilege are forcing
them to sacrifice their chances of beauty over the washtub, tho sewing mm
chine, the dingy kitchen sink.
The martyrs of toil wars as beautiful at birth at Madeline Foroe was.
They came into the world with as many possessions as she. They have
served society as diligently as she. Their characters are aa fine aa her*. Jh
any estimate baaed on work and eacrlfloe and patlenoe, on value* which flaw
from the human soul, they are ae deserving aa she.
Their toil makes her luxury possible. She did not earn her beauty
parlor or the immense wealth and eoonomlc power of which It la the aymhoL
It cam# to her by gift indirectly by the gift of society. The maeoaglag of
her fleeh by means of bejeweled vibrators, tho fluffing of her hair by iaaana
of exquisite maroel irons, however agreeable from the standpoint of per
sonal pride of appearance, are not Important returns to tho society whfteh
has given so lavishly and which suffers so much.
There is a beauty surpassing that of face and form. It lo the bounty
of service. She did not make the inequality which her fortune emghasleee
and the is little to blame for lta existence. But tt would become her to be
aware of its existence and to bo dlligemt la tho effort la aorraol Its
Injustices.
For that matter so would It beoome ail of us.
Why Do Men Crave Alcohol ?
A OuMftlon as Old as History, To Bo Bure, Blit a Load I rip World
Question Which Has Nov or Boon Convincingly Answsnd
However, This Profsssofs Idas of It Is Into resting.
Did you over stop to realise that,
although humanity since history’s
dawn has been wrestling with the
demon rum, and enough books have
been written on the subject to Com
a pile bigger than the Rooky moun
tains, nobody yet has found a convinc
ing answer to the question: “Why do
men desire alcohol f
That it has been desired In all ages,
climes and stages of human develop
ment, and that today in the highly
civilised United States, van leader of
the nations, despite the fact that two
thirds of our area and over half of
our population are ostensibly “dry,"
the reported oonsumption of grog,
averaged to each person, is larger
than ever before, having risen In a
half oentury from around T gallons
to M, are facts notorious. And yet,
as Prof. Patrick, of the lowa stats
university brings out In the Popular
Bclenoe Monthly, the reason why re
mains In dispute.
Os late careful tests by scientists
have shown, at least to their satis
faction. th*\t some old notions on this
subject aren't right
Pot instance, If we asay believe
what they say, alcohol Isn't a stimu
lant but a depressant; and. Instead
of exciting greater sOolsnoy of either
muscles or mind. It actually lowers

The lent man waa placed la front
of a 12-inch sea coast gua. These
screens were electrically conaeeted to
the shutters of the cameras. And
these shutters were works of art, too,
as ihe fast lens would have been use
less without squally fast shutters.
The lent man was rathsr nervous
when the gun was fired. He hurried
his Him and plates to hla dark room

There wss no smoke until after the
shell was out and then vast volumes
of smoke and gas came out of tha
