in despair. I decided to try
Cardui and sent for a bottle.
“I soon began to improve.

ft. John's, Newfoundland.--Recking
little of small prolifs or disasters, the
Musky giants of ihe northern outposts
have cast their fort lines again with
Hm settling licet that sails away each

year.
flow and clumsy these men appear
as they walk along the waterfront
streets, selecting from the shops their
scanty requirements for the voyage—
a slieatIt knife, a steel, a pair of skin
boots, a cap with ‘‘cars” and little
else.
Cxcited aa Cehooiboye.
Their prosaic mien reveals little
either of agility or thought of adven
ture, but when Hie word is passed to
cast off and made for sea they are
as full of excitement.as a crowd of
schoolboys, as active as acrobats.
They must lie active and alert, for
curo-fuotedness ami quickness to act

This year an airplane piloted by
Colin Caldwell, a Canadian aviator,
lias been enlisted to operate from the
land and help the ship locate the
seal herds, first in the gulf of St.
Lawrence, later on the Northeast
coast. Year after year Hie “main
patch” comes -nit of tlie North on the
breast of 11 le Arctic current. The
aviator’s findings are sent to the fleet
by radio.
Seals, some “square nippers” ten and
twelve feet long and weighing as much
as l,r.iOU pounds, ofliers “harps'* and
“hoods,” whose young weigh as little
as 45 pounds, are the game of the
hunters.
Wide Variation in Profits.
Fortunes vary. East year ihe shares
of men on different ships ranged from
$85 to $33..!iG. The year before it
varied from $124.GO down to $12.28, de
pending upon Hie amount of fat
brought into port.
The hazards the men run for their
uncertain reward include blizzards,
treacherous trails and destruction of
ships by storm and ice. In 1S!)8 a
blizzard brought death to 48 men of
tin: crew of Hie Greenland.
In 111] 1 the Southern Cross, return-
in:; to port, was lost with 173 men.
In the same year 77 of the crew of the
;i. S. Newfoundland were unable to
regain their ship when a blizzard over
took' them, and-next day they were
found frozen to death.
Sue'.) disasters, however, prove no
deterrent to this race of men. For
generations they have found the call
of the frozen seas Irresistible.
Piasaist Percy Grainger
Engaged to Poetecs
White Plains, N. Y.—The romance of
a noted pianist and composer and a
Swedish poet and painter was revealed
with announcement of I he engage
ment of Percy Grainger lo Miss Ella
Viola Strom.
The romance began on a Pacific liner
a year ago when lho pianist was re
turning from his native Australia, lie
wrote in a letter, asking Mr. and Mrs
F. E. Morse, his manager and secre
tary, to announce the thigagemcnt. it
was prpmoted, lie said, by the resem

ilia mother, since whose death in 1022
ho has confessed to a feeling of lone

The marriage is expected to take
place in August after Miss Strom com

Is Woman a Percon?
Canadian Court to Rule
Ottawa.—Whether a woman is eli

a question to ho decided by the Su

ern Canada, the government has asked
the court to decide whether a woman

Hie section of the British North Amer
ican act respecting appointments to
the senate, tt was learned here.
The ease recalls fiie exclusion of tho
Viscountess BliomMa from Hie house
of fords ive years ago. Her unsuc
cessful petition to tlie committee on
privileges of tlie house was based on
mi imperial enactment providing that
“a person .shall not be disqualified by

One Wild Beast That
Defies Power of Man
In tlie eternal game of “tag” be
tween man and the animals lie lias
limited, there Is only one beast known
to man that lias never been caught.
Every zoo in the world would like
very much to get the white rhinoceros
to he found in large numbers near
the rivers of the Sudan, but none lias
thus far been successful.
II lias been found so hopeless to at
tempt lo catch a while rhinoceros
alive that tlie government at Khar- j
touin lias forbidden tho liunlitig (if I
tliis strange animal. Compared with
tlie white rhino, lions and elephants
nix: easy marks. He will kill his hunt
er or himself. At first sight of a hu
man the white rhino charges. If the
hunter evades his fierce onrush, tlie
rhino will, in his blind rage, charge
tlie first substantial object within his
reach, with a ferocity terrible to lie-
hold.
It is the only animal which, threat
ened with captivity, will deliberately
commit suicide. Young white rhinos
which were captured by natives died
within a very short time, so sensitive j
are they to captivity. If it were pos
sible to catch them, they would keep
lip their frenzied charges until lliey
killed themselves.
The London zoo authorities have of
fered thousands of pounds for a speci
men of Hie white rhinoceros, and un
til tlie ban of (lie Sudan government
was established, practically every na
tive in the section tried to catch one.
It was tlie great slaughter of (lie
boasts in an effort to capture one
alive which resulted in the law against
hunting the white rhino, which seems
determinedly to prefer dentil—his
death or tlie hunter's—to captivity.

Great Singer Famous
for Her “Temperament”
Tlie great Patti’s mother—also a
noted priina donna—was a victim of
that besetting sin, jealousy. One eve
ning, relates Emma Calve, singing with
a colleague who had false eyebrows,
tiie eider I’atti, jealous and furious at
(ho success of her comrade, began to
stare at her fixedly.
“What is Hie matter?” the other
whispered under her breath.
“Your right eyebrow lias fallen off,”
came tlie answer.
Tlie poor victim, horrified, tore off
her left eyebrow, and remained for tlie
rest of the act with only her right one
in place.
On another occasion Patti’s mother
became annoyed at tlie applause given
Labiaclie, perhaps tlie greatest basso
of all lime. She seized one of (lie
wreaths destined for him and, plant
ing it on tier own licud, approached
the footlights.
“I have well deserved it myself,”
she exclaimed to an astonished audi
ence.—Kansas City Star.
“Common Cola” Cured

“Feed a cold and starve a fever” is
an old folk saying, but it seems that
nmv I he word “feed” should lie

the be: f place for curing a cold, next

Way to Dry Cups
There are some men behind the
counters of business places who are
very clever. Tlie 11 her day I saw a j
counter man in a local lunch room j
pull off a pretty good stunt. The i
man was washing cups and I noticed '
lie did not dry them with n towel or !
machine. He simply placed a dry ]
towel on a large metal tray. Ho ex
plained to me that as lie turned the
fups upside down tlie water or mois
ture all ran (o tlie towel on the tray.
The towel took up all the moisture
leaving Hie cups dry. I looked over
some of tlie cups which tlie waiter
said lie had standing for a time. They
were perfectly dry. l’erhaps tlie idea
will be copied by housewives.—Salem

Deacon for Long Night
As the axis nl the earth is inclined
at an angle of 23’A degrees, the Arctic
circle is not illuminated by rays from
Hie sun during the winter period. The
sun is below tlie horizon practically
the w hole of Hie 24 hours of I lie day
only just touching it at one moment
in June tlie converse is true, tlie sun
remaining above the horizon during
the whole 24 Hours and just touching
it ut one moment. The period of dark
ness in winter persists for the whole-
six months between September and
March. On March 21 the North pole
is on tlie boundary between light and
darkness and from Hint date until
September 2.3 it remains in tlie light
There is, therefore, a day of sis
months and a night of six months at
the North pole.
Brooklyn.—Romance lent n helping
hand to science during television tests
aboard the Iieronguria in mldocean re
cently when, for tlie first time, a ship
at sea was thus linked to shore.
Passengers on the ship distinctly
saw persons appear before the trans
mitting apparatus tn a London studio.
Chief Radio Operator Stanley I’rown
of the B M'angaria saw a great deal
more man mere “persons.' 1 lie recog
nized his fiancee, .Miss Dora Selve.v, by
tlie characteristic way she wears her
hair.
And in tills manner the girl, who
formerly lived for five years in Amer
ica while she was employed by the
Western Union ns an operator, be
comes the first person whose image
has been sent from land to a ship in
life middle of (lie ocean.
The mystic science of radio lias fig
ured largely in Miss Gelvey’s romance.
She is nn English girl who came to
America about, eight years ngo to visit
her nfnt. On Iho way over on tlie
liner Cnronin she met Brown, who was
a radio operator on tlie ship. lie in
terested her in (lie radio and it was
tlion Hint she remained in America
for live years working Mr Iho Western
Union as an operator.
Three years ago she decided to re
turn to her home in London. She went
on tlie Mauretania and, sure enough,
Stanley Brown lmd been transferred
to that ship ns chief radio operator.
Before tlie liner readied England lliey
wore engaged.
She Is now employed with the Brit
ish Telegraph company as an opera-
log and agreed to take part in the
television tests to (lie Borongnrin,
knowing her fiance was chief radio
operator on that. ship.
Shakespeare No Horse Boy
There is no historical evidence to
support the story, says tlie Pathfinder
Magazine that Shakespeare’s first
work in connection with u theater
was holding tlie horses of noblemen
and other patrons. According to tlie
usual version of tlie myth, (lie young
Stratford man showed considerable en
terprise in organizing a “horse hold
ing” group of boys who were known
as “Shakespeare’s boys." Alt evidence
obtainable about Shakespeare tends to
discredit the story. It was told by
some of the pool's early biographers,
fait It has been rejected by most, if
not all, of tlie later critics and care
ful Shakespearean students.
Homesick
Ruth Ellen was making tier first j
visit alone to her runt, who has no :
children. The mint visited the library i
and obtained the most modern author
ity on child diet. The menu for the
childs first evening was planned with
cure, but the five-year-old refused to
cat.
“I’m homesick for something,” she
said.
“What is it? Maybe wo can lliul
some here,” said tlie solicitous aunt.
“I think it's doughnuts and cof
fee,” replied the child.
Creed vs. Deed
The curious Influence that men’s
creeds exert over their minds is car
ried over bodily into our social
thoughts and behavior, says a writer,
in Scribner’s Magazine. Broadly
speaking, men live by their wits as
individuals, while as a society they
live by their creeds. For society
deals largely with generalities, and
it is in dealing with generalities that
a man consults his creed.
We have seen Hint when n man fol
lows the dictates of his creed, he will
often adopt general ideas and doc
trines that are in direct conflict with
the specific dictates of Ids mind and
conscience. Hence, society commits
itself to many propositions that tiro
by no means representative of the
way people actually feel and think.
Marsh Gas to Be Used
to Illuminate City,
Berlin.—The early utilization of
marsh gas-, or methane, for illuminat
ing n section of tlie city is planned
by tlie municipal authorities for rea
sons of efficiency as well as of econ
omy.
Marsh gas lias a luminosity of 77
to 80 per cent, whereas that of ordi
nary coal gas is only 55 to 50 per cent
and a ready supply of the former Is
always forthcoming from the outlying
sewage lands.
From the sewage area around Wass-
manilorff tlie requisite marsh gas will
be collected in about thirty-seven
tanks with a capacity of 00,000 cubic
meters each and then conducted to
tlie Berlin gas works at Noukoellu tc
refine and Intensify the. luminosity ot
the ordinary gas.
Increased Noise Cuts
Work, Inventor States
Brooklyn.—Noise is increasing 100
per cent yearly in American cities and
causes 20 per cent loss of efficiency
to the average office worker, according
to Dr. Hiram Percy Maxim, lieutenant
commander In tlie United States naval
reserve, who is working on plans for
silencing riveters, subways and build
ing machinery.
“1 believe Hie worker who is earn
ing $20 a week could, under quiet con-
dilions, earn $25 a week with no
greater expenditure of effort,” lie said.
“There is no question but that tlie
noise in our cities is a contributing
factor in tlie increasing number of
neurotics and cases of nervous break
downs.”
Doctor Maxim mentioned specifically
tlio noises of traffic, including horns
of automobiles, exhaust noises of cars
and trucks, tiic riveting machine, tlie
street car, and pulsating noises of
many kinds of machines.
All those, he believes, would he elim
inated or reduced to a fraction of their
present Intensity if the public were
awakened to what they cost in health
and money.
Music in Jails Leads
Prisoners lo Confess
Paris.—Music is being played for
Hie first time in tlie prisons of France
with results that amaze tlie jailers.
Within Ihe few weeks since tlie enter
tainment was Introduced thousands of
letters have been written by prisoners
to neglected families and friends and
even to courts, confessing “tlie truth”
and indicating repentance.
A test, concert given for the chil
dren of La lioquetto prison was re
sponsible for the Innovation. When
Louis Bnrthou, minister of justice,
read letters written by tlie children
about tlie concert he wept anil re
voked an order that had stood for cen
turies prohibiting tlie entertainment of
prisoners.
Now five concert artists of note play
regularly in the penitentiaries in and
around Paris, two violinists, a cellist,
an organist with a portable organ and
a woman singer. They play classical
selections from the old music masters.
They are unseen by their audience,
which is forbidden to give applause.
Solis often take tlie place of it.
Better Grade Diamonds
to Be More Expensive
London.—Good diamonds are to be
more expensive, according to S. B.
Joel, member of the diamond syndi
cate here which controls the price.
“.Stones of three carats and upwards
will be affected and tlie minimum
increase will ho 5 per cent,” lie said
"Tliis increase lias resulted from Ihe
big demand for good stones. There
Is a glut of the small stones produced
from the alluvial workings, hut for
the big stones there is a big demand.
“I am certainly a strong
believer in Black-Draught,
as I have used it off ancl
on now for about twenty-
five years,” says Mr. CJ. W.
Blagg, of Cleveland, Tex.
“I take it for Indiges

MACHINE COUNTS
ATOMS CORRECTLY I
Savant Finds OCG Sextillions in
Ono Gram.
i
Cambridge, Mass.—Atoms and mole
cules now can be counted with greater
accuracy than the population of a
large city, Dr. Miles Sherill, professor'
of theoretical chemistry at tlie Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, re
ported in a Society of Arts lecture ia
tlie institute recently.
“Wo no longer doubt tlie existence
or reality of atoms,” lie said. “It is
possible to determine the number of
molecules in one gram molecular
weight ol’ a substance which is equal
to the number of atoms in one gram
atomic weight of any clement. This
huge number is six hundred and six
and two-tenths sextillions."
The lecturer showed a screen pic
ture of tlie motion of mercury parti
cles. Study of this motion, Doctor
Sherill said, made it possible to count
atoms’and molecules. He also dem
onstrated the Geiger counter, an in
strument so sensitive that it will do-
tec'. even u sing!;: electron.
“Lir. 11. C. Blumgart of the Boston
City hospital lias made a very won
derful application of the instrument,”
said Doctor Sherill. “He injects :!•
trace, one quadrllliontli of a grain,
which Is about three million atoms, or
radio-active deposit into the arm of
a patient.
Then with the aid of the Geiger
counter lie measures Liie time taken
for it to be carried to the heart anil
again through tlie lungs hack to tlie
heart and on to a point In- the other
arm corresponding to tlie original
point of injection.
“The counter, protected from prema
ture radiations by a sheathing of lead,
is placed over the heart where it de
tects tlie arrival of tlie radio-active
substance, and again in the other arm
by means of a second instrument.
“He is thus able to measure the
rate of blood flow through the lungs.
Such studies hold l'ar-reaching possi
bilities i'er research in diseases of th«
heart,"
