BANISH GLOOM IN SUNSHINE
^JNothlng Like Plenty of Good Daylight
to C. 've Away Sickness and
the "Blues."
If everyone could only realize the
tonic effect of a little sunshine we
would he both healthier and happier.
Cover some green grass with a
piece of carpet for a month and note
the result. The grass will have com
pletely changed. It will have lost its
' color and become almost white. This
is exactly what happens to people. If
you live in dark, gloomy rooms you
cannot be rosy or entirely healthy.
Not only does lack of sunshine im
pair your health, but it affects your
mental attitude. You cannot be an
optimist and live in a gloomy place,
and who wants to be a pessimist?
Many of the most dreaded germs
^ are completely annihilated by a con
tinued application of sunshine. This
is the reason all modern hospitals are
built on the pavilion plan, which ad
mits Hght on all sides.
. Disease germs are not the only va
riety that dread the light.
. The gems that breed discontent,
pettiness, jealous; and real unhappi
ness are all bred in darkness.
Did you ever try a brisk walk in
the bright sunshine when you seem to
be completely surrounded by all sorts
w of "glooms?" It is a simple remedy;
not a costly one, but efficacious. One
hour of such treatment will usually
rout a whole regiment of these pests.
If you haven't the energy for a
walk, put cn wraps to keep you warm
and sit in an easy chair in the corner
of the porch. In lieu of the porch |
try raising a southern window and sit !
where the sun will shine on you. If j
your gloom has not vanished in an I
hour, you should consult a doctor who I
doubtless will prescribe for a sluggish j
liver, for a sick liver will make even j
. rosy glasses reflect a dark glow.
PECULIAR WELL IN FLORIDA:
Both Salt and Ordinary Water May Be ;
Pumped From lt at the Same
Time.
In their investigation of the wells
and underground waters of Florida the
geologists of the United States Geo
logical survey have noted many inter
esting things. Among these is a well
at Welaka, on St. Johns river, from
which two kinds of water are ob
tained.
This well is 309 feet deep. The
'ength of the casing is 110 feet. The
well was first drilled to 160 feet, and
from this depth ordinary "sulphur"
water was obtained. * The drill was
then' carried to a depth of 309 feet,
where it encountered a strong miner
al water, having a disagreeable, salty
taste. In order to use, both kinds x>f
water an inner tubing was run nearly
to the bottom of the well. Both this
and the obiter casing were connected
with pumps, so that ordinary water
and mineral water can be pumped at
the same time. A favorite joke played
on visitors is to give a drink of weak
er water in the first glass and to re-1
place it with the brine in the second. !
Not more than half a dozen wells of j
this kind are known in the country, j
but there is no reason why similar
wells cannot be obtained in regions |
where the waters in the upper strata j
differ from those lying deeper.
Aluminum Cheapened.
While experimenting with the in
tense heat of the electric arc. Sir
Humphrey Davy discovered a metallic
substance to which he gave the name
of aluminum, though he never sue
Deeding in isolating it. Twenty years j
later Frederick Wohler, in Germany, ?
isolated this metal through the use of
potassium. In 1S4." he obtained it in j
small malleable globules. In 1S5G De
ville, a French chemist patronized by
Louis Napoleon, improved Wohler's
process and isolated aluminum in a
state almost pure. At this time the
metal was valued at $90 a pound. It {
was produced in chemical laboratories
and used largely in the manufacture
of aluminum jewelry. The price has
sow declined to 18 cents a pound.
Needful, But Utopian.
Mayor Curley of Boston was talking
about certain reforms.
"They'll come, I guess." he said. "In
time we'll have those and many other
municipal reforms. But at present
they seem utopian and impossible.
"Yes. such reforms seem as incred
ible today as the fake dinner invita
tion that was sent out by a Boston
wag.
"This wag. wishing to rebuke the
parsimony of a rich Back Bay host,
got up a fake invitation that read:
" 'Mr. and Mrs. Back Bay Poultney
request the honor of your presence at
dinner on Wednesday evening next at
eight o'clock. (Wine merchant and
cigar dealer both changed since last
dinner.)'"-Washington Star.
Linguistic.
Mr. Dunnell picked up a letter in
the subway, written in a foreign lan
guage entirely unknown to him, and
for several . ays puzzled over it, try
ing to find out the language in which
it was written. He showed the let
ter to a friend, who, with great fa
cility, made a successful attempt to
read it. The fraudulent translation
was not discovered, and in due course
the translator received credit for his
versatility in translating Finnish. A
short time after, Mrs. Dunnell, who
w? ne of the interested listeners,
SP- "Where in the world did you
learn Finnish?" and the prompt re
I joinder was: "In finishing school, of
j course."-New York Times.
