SOME POSTSCRIPTS
More than a billion bricks were
used in Greater New York last year,
most of which came from brick yards
along the Hudson river.
An electric signal light that pierces
a fog better than anything yet tried,
the invention of a Californian, draws
the carbons apart periodically to
Stretch the arc, giving out brilliant
flashes.
One French inventor is hanging the
cylinders of his aeroplane engine be
low the shaft to add stability, while
another Is trying out a propeller with
six . blades, instead of the two com
monly used.
In testing tungsten lamps for dur
ability a French railroad uses a ma
chine which subjects sample lamps to
all sorts of jolt t and jars, the break

According to experts the force of
the rotation of the earth on the gyro
[scope compass which has been adopt
ed by the United States navy is 291
times as great as the force of magnet
ism on the magnetic needle.
The English navy has developed fire
control to the point that a single offi
cer can discharge all the guns on one
side-of a ship at the same instant, all
the shells reaching the target together
and delivering a crushing blow.
A prize of SI,OOO has been waiting
in Philadelphia since 1859 for the

QUIET THOUGHTS
A ^gat in a crowded car is worth
two ilftn empty one.
—
The breath of scandal Is the ill-wind
that blows nobody good.
Don’t strike a man when he Is down.
Even an idea will seldom do that.
The fellow who is fired with enthusi
asm is seldom the one who is tired by
the boss.
All the world's a stage, with mighty
few intermissions to go out between
the acts.
The people who live up to their
ideals are generally satisfied to re
main poor.
All men are fools, but they wouldn’t
be reminded of it so often if they re
mained single.
Love In a cottage is all right, pro
Tided it also supplies a town house
for the winter.
Intimate knowledge may be a mag
nifying glass, but some men positively
dwindle under it.
There must be some sort of neutral
ground between a married man’s
warning and a bachelor’s advice.
It would take nothing less than
. brass* knuckles and a blackjack to
knock the conceit out of some people.
BLASTS FROM RAM’S HORN
There is a lot of preaching being
done that the devil likes to hear.
The man who does the least for the
church often tries' the hardest to
run it.
It will pay to try praising your
wife awhile —even if It does frighten
her at first.
It doesn’t take many statistics to
prove that the man who lives wrong
can’t die right.

The man who Is always on the side

much anywhere.
You will be very tired before you
And the man who has never killed
some goose that laid the golden egg.
There are women who might as

their husbands toward making a
home.
The backslider likes the preaching
that wouldn’t hit the side of a house,
