Man Must Keep Growing !
or He Will Deteriorate
The minute a man ceases to grow
no matter what his years, that minute
he begins to be old, declares a writer
In the Montreal Herald. Many men
are old fogies at twenty-five. They
are satisfied with their jobs, having
accumulated a little stock of preju
dices that they call principles and
have closed their minds to all new
ideas. But as long as a man can keep
himself still growing, still knowing
that he has a lot to learn, he Is young.
Laplace, the astronomer, at seventy
eight, died while at work, saying:
“What we know Is nothing, what
we do not know Is immense.” Goethe
died at eighty-three, after completing
his Faust Gladstone was studying
new languages at seventy. Bismarck
did his greatest work after seventy;
Titian the painter lived to be ninety,
painting right up to his death.
According to the life span of other
mammals, man’s period of life should
be five times his period of growth. A
dog gets his growth In two years and
lives ten; a horse in five years and
lives twenty-five. On this basis man
should live to be one hundred. But in
Shakespeare’s time a man was old at.
forty. Sir Walter Scott complained at
fifty-five of being an old man, Mon
tague retired at thirty-eight to spend
his declining years in peace, and Dr.
Samuel Johnson once said that at
thirty-five man reached his peak and
was thereafter on the down grade.
The art of keeping j’oung sems to lie
with the individual himself’. The con
stant seeker may die, but lie never
grows old.
Welland Canal Leek at
Humberstone Is Longest
One of the locks on tiie Welland
canal, the guard lock at Humber
stone, 1,380 feet long, is the longest In
the world, says the Detroit News. It
Is not high, however, but merely pro
vides for adjusting the canal level to
the varying level of Lake Erie. The
two locks on the American side of the
Sault Ste. Marie canal are 1,350 feet
long and 80 feet wide, with a lift of
about 22 feet. The Welland canal has
seven lift locks, each 820 feet long, 80
feet wide and each with a lift of 40%
feet. The three twin locks at Thorold
have a total lrft of 139% feet, which is
54% feet greater than the Gatun locks
of the Panama canal. The Panama
canal has three locks at Gatun, near
the Atlantic end; the Pacific end has
two at Miraflores and one at Pedro
Miguel, the total lift being 85 feet. The
usable length of these locks is 1,000
<eet and the width 110 feet; these
locks are In pairs. From the engi
neers’ standpoint the Panama lock sys
tem is the most important.
French Guiana
French Guiana is located at the
northeast extremity of the continent
of South America. It is bounded on
the west by Dutch Guiana, the river
Maroni marking the boundary. The
Atlantic ocean is the north boundary,
and the Republic of Brazil bounds
the country on the east and south.
The eastern boundary line is along
the Oyapock river, and the southern
boundary line is along the crest of
the Tumucumah mountains. The area
of French Guiana is 34,740 square
miles, about one-third the size of
France. A great portion of the inland
territory is covered by swamps and
impenetrable jungle. Free residents of
the country for many years have pro
tested to authorities in France against
the continuance of the Devil’s Island
prison in Guiana. It is their contention
that the prison labor available to
them is worthless, and that most of
the convicts in exile after completing
their sentences become public charges,
either through ill health or indolence.
First Butter-Makers
Butter is one of the boons bestowed
by accident upon the world. The story
goes that, long ago, Arabs used to
carry sour milk in leather bags with
them on their journeyings across the
desert. They traveled by camel, and
the movement of tins beast is worse
than that of many ships. The result
was that the milk was converted into
butter, which was first used as a lo
tion for the skin. When the demand
grew, tlie hags of milk were tied to
swift horses which were made to gal
lop about for some hours. Finally
came the first chum, and butter-mak
ing became an industry.—Tit-Bits Mag
azine.
river’s Phenomenal Lean
In British Gti'ana there is a mighty
river called the l’etara. At one place,
Hauteur, the river makes a clear drop
of 522 feet, and at the foot of the cat
aract the waters of the Petara branch
off in various directions. The Kaic
teur cat a act is the show place of
Briti h Guiana. Twenty-eight thou
sand cubic feet of water pass over the
Vtlge of the cataract every second.
This vist volume of water, proper’>
applied, would be capable of furnish
ing four times as much power as is de
rived today by the harnessing of Ni
agara falls.
Where Srpphircs Are Produced
Sapphires are gems of essentially
the same mineral as the ruby. They j
differ chiefly in color, the sapphire
varying from pate blue to deep indigo.
On exposure to high temperatures the
sapphire loses its color but does not
regain its luster upon cooling as does
the ruby. Principal sapphire deposits
arc found in ri.ylon, Siam. Madagas
car and Australia. They have been
found in small quantities in the Unit
ed States. —Pathfinder Magazine.
