A writer in one of the magazines

restrict himself to a rigid diet, but for

Experiments with automobiles, mo
tor boats and flying machines will
flourish in summer time; but since any
winter is liable to "tie up" any vehicle,
perhaps we should employ a part of
the open season in planning roads over
which it is possible always to travel.

In cities which, like New York and
Boston, are provided with subways,

more desirable than feasible, but
tunnel across the English Channel
seems a antsller undertaking than It
would hsve been twenty years ago,
and a hundred years beuce projects
for tending trains beneath the own

it Is now Impossible to do away with
the discomfort and danger attending
sea voyages In winter, money and
annoyance may be saved by methodi
cal burrowing on land. In large cities
tunnels might extend from "the railroad
stations to the manufacturing and
wholesale districts, and shipments
might pass between shops ami cart
without getting In the way of persons
who have no Interest In them. To fill

that subways will yet be carried Tar

Rubbish of all kluds Is being written
about the awful strain of modem life

In fact there has been so much said
by one person and another about the
degeneracy that Is certain to follow
life lived in the thick of things that any
number of men and women are begin

while saying, can Invest more time and
sympathy with less profit than any
other occupation a man can take up.
If a man drinks cocktails before each
meal, highballs between meals, tea and
coffee at regular Intervals, smokes nu
merous strong cigars, eats too much.
Is out In the open air not at all. and
ends his day with a bottle of wine and
a midnight supper, something disagree
able Is coming to him If he will only
keep It up long enough. But he need
not lay the result of his own glut
tony and abnse of alcohol and tobacco
and other habits of the sort to civiliza
tion or to the swful strain of life In
the twentieth century. The proof of It
lies in a decreasing death rate all over
America and Europe. A really degen
erate race begins to die out it does
not go on living longer and longer. It
may be true that there are more men
and women In rest cures than there
used to be but as there used to be no
rest enres for them to go to, It Is rea
sonably clear that there are lives be
ing saved now that had to be given
up heretofore. It is also said that
there are more Insane persons than for
merly. Insane persons used to die in
a comparatively short time, and com
paratively few of them were ever re
stored to health and usefulness. Many
more used to die before Insanity
showed Itself who are now preserved.
Statistics of that kind are generally
misleading, since they take only one
aspect of the case Into account Men
who do not eat and drink to excess,
who make play a part of their work
and who stick to life In the open when
ever they get a chance, need not worry
about stress and strain In modern or
any other life.
Splicing Twioe.
It has been said that Henry Clay
achieved success so easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to do. In "The True Henry
Clay," the author gives an instance of
this:
At fourteen Henry became clerk In
a store In Richmond, whither the fam
ily had removed. Stories are told of
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again it was explained that using this
sort of twine might be offensive to cus
tomers, as it made the packages look
untidy by reason of so many knots.
Bo be consulted with a sailor at Rich
mond, who showed him how to splice
strings, wjtb a smooth Joint
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces of twine of
the same size into a continuous cord,
When his employer discovered this he
was so much pleased that he had all
twine saved, and turnad the task of
splicing It over to young Henry, with
the result that the young man's enthu
slasm rapidly abated.

TELEPATHY AM0N8 INSECTS,
Able to Comanntcat with On Another
at Ureal instance.
Not only the unworthy sluggard
might observe the aut and other In
sect and profit thereby. Science each
day adds to the wonders which these
little creatures are capable of and puts
human creatures to shame.
This time It Is a sixth sense which
a noted scleutlst has discovered many
Insects to be fortunate enough to pos
sess, says the New York World. At
least they are able to communicate
with one another at great distances.
This professor had two allantbuS
trees In his yard, and these suggested
the Idea to biiu of obtaining from
Japan some eggs of the aiiauthua silk
worm, lie got a few. hatched ths lar
vae and watched anxiously for the ap
pearance of the first moths from the
cocoons. lie put one of the moths In
a wicker cage and hung It ou one of
the allunthua trees. This was a fe
male moth. On the same evening he
took a male moth to a cemetery t mile
and a half away and let him loose,
having previously marked him by ty
ing a silken cord about hla abdomen
10 as to be able to Identify htm. The
Idea was to find out If the two moths
would come togetuer for the purpose
of mating, these two being the only
ones of their species within a dis
tance of hundreds of miles. This power
of locating eacu other had been pre
viously observed lu these Insects. In
the morning two moths were found
to be lu the same cage, the female
having been able to attract her mate.
Comparatively little Is known about
the ordinary senses of Insects. Most
of them see well, the eyes of many be
ing far more elaborate than those of
the human being. The eyes of com
mon bouse flies and dragon flies sre
believed to be better fitted than the
human eye for observing objects In
motion, though these creatures are
short-sighted. That Insects have the
sense of taste canuot be doubted when
it Is observed how nice they are in
their selection of foods. That they
bare snielf is a matter of common ob
servation. Most Insects are deaf to
sounds which are heard by human be
ings. At the same time there Is no
doubt that they make and hear sounds
which are entirely out of our range of
bearing.
Certain senses In Insects appear to
be beyond comprehension. The neuters
among ants, known as the "termites,"
sre blind, and yet they will reduce t
beam of wood In their burrowlngs
wlthont once gnawing to ths surface.
An analogy Is found among animals.
A bat In a lighted room, though blind
ed as to sight, will fly In all directions
with great swiftness and with Infalli
ble certainty of avoiding concussion or
contact with any object It seems to
be able to feel at a distance.
WHY HE WOULDN'T BE A JUDQE.
Rhode Island Philosopher Sure Krmlna
and Pin Pool Wouldn't Mix.
"I was reading In the paper one
morning this week that Judges are
overworked here in the East and I
guess that's true," said a prominent
lawyer who was watching atrocious
billiards in a club last Monday after
noon, according to the Providence
Journal. "This article to which I'm
referring explained that the duties of
a Judge were more exacting, If any
thing, than those of a physician. He
has to be on time when court's In ses
sion, the soul of punctuality, whatever
the soul of punctuality may be. Oth
erwlse he couldn't consistently reprove
Jurymen who miss trains or are de
tained by croupy children. Then, again,
the Judge can't get out at noon or
night until he adjourns himself, and he
frequently forgets to adjourn himself
in decent season. Besides, he must
take papers home with him and study
exceptions and bear arguments on the
outside, so that on the whole I'm glad
I'm a plain attorney."
"Now, we understand," Interrupted
a listener, "why you refused a Judge
ship a while ago. You're lazy and
fond of those office hours of yours that
stretch from 11:30 to 4, with a long
luncheon In the middle of them."
"No, you don't understand," contln
ued the lawyer. "That Isn't it at all
I declined that appointment for an
other reason; It's what I call the Ju
dicial dignity reason. Here In this
section of the country the moment a
member of uie bar ascends to the
bench he feels it Incumbent on him to
invest himself with a distant air. No
matter how good a fellow he may be
naturally, he's convinced that the pro
prieties of the profession demand that
be shall hold his friends and acquaint
ances at arm's length. He's civil and
courteous enough, of course, but he
doesn't mix In. That's the whole story
in my case. I thought it over and
said to myself: "How'd you look as
a Judge playing pin pool Saturday
and breaking your cue on the floor to
rattle your opponents? No,' said I,
'I'm too young. Tin pool and the
things that go with It for mine. Let
somebody else wear the ermine.' "
