I According to British Observer, th«
Turkish Capital la an Excellent
Plac* to Avoid.
Constantinople Is not a pleasant
place, to Judge by the accouut of P.
Holmes, writing from that city In the
London Dally News.
"Often In my dreams," he writes,
"there comes hack again suddenly the

Electrifying Water.
I I'laln water can be made to taste
like champagne, Is the claim of the
investor of a new dsvtce. The In
tention consists of an electrical ap
paratus comprising a small circular
tank that contains an electric cell
from which two electrodes extend.
One electrode Is placed lit the glass
of water and the other Is pressed
against the drinker's cheek. A slight
current passes through the water, giv
ing It a *i«rkle similar to that of
sparkllug wines—at teast so the ln
jveutor says.

IS OLD LONDON PLAYGROUND
Hyde Park Ha« f«r C»*hirte» B»m
the Scene of Amua»mw»ta Dear
to Engflthmen.
Iti Hytle pari, London, nearly every
Piiiie «nd sport known w> tbe English
has Ix-cn practiced »t one time or un
til her. In 1550 the French amhassa
dor hunted there with the king. In i
157S the Pake Caslnilr "killed a bar
ren doe with his piece In Hyde park
from anions 900 other deer." In the
ivigii of Charles I the park became
celebrated for Its foot and horse races
round the ring, the "dusty mill-horse
drive." as Ijtdy Malapert mils It.
"Shall we make a fling to London,"
wrote Richard Rrome, "and see how
the spring appears there In tbe spring
gardens; and In Hyde park, to see tbe
races, horse and foot; te hear the
Jockles crackT*
Racing In the ring was one of the
greatest attractions In the park, and
some of the meetings were thought
to he of gnat Importance, as even
among the state papers there la pre
served the agreement for a race that
took place there. Charles I mixed
freely with his subjects on these occa
sions. but, looking on the royal park
as Ills own possession, he once ordered
the ejection of a Berkshire squire,
whom he referred to as an "ugly ras
cal." The "ugly rascal" overheard
the phrase. He went away quietly,
hut vowed vengeance, and gradually
embittered the whole of his country
against the king. He had. Indeed, his
revenge, for writ IS-iw ar itarles IV
death warrant was the name of tbe
"ugly rascal."
MORE THAN MERELY ORATOR
Will Crook*. English Labor Leadsr, a
Man of Most RcmarhabK
Personality.
Although he had such s wonderful
way with him when talking to an au
dience. the late Mr. Will Crook* wa»
the desjiulr of reporters.
It was Impossible to transfer hi*
*iM>ken words Into cold print without
losing the very thlug that captivated
his audience—the personality of the
man.
It was all personality with Mr.
Crooks, and experienced reporter*
have been known to go to a meeting
which Mr. Crooks kept in roars of
laughter. and when ihev had written
their report tear It up because It failed
to convey any Idea of what had hap
pened.
Mr. Crooks was good at telling a
story, but even better at repartee.
At a recruiting meeting during the
war a man tried to Interrupt him,
and provoked the withering retort.
"Yes. 1 know you. Tou are one »f
thoie who could settle the »hoie thing
In a barter's shop on a Saturday
afternoon."
Mr. Crooks' favorite story concerned
a woman who bought some flower*
from a flower-girl at Flccadllly clrcua.
She was so pleased with them that
she promised to buy tnore on Wednes
day. "when my daughter Is pomlng

Famine# In Hiatory.
The famines of the ancient world,
usually confined to comparatively
small countries, such as Egypt or Pal
estine. were largely due to the small
cess of the area depended upon for
food. VnfavoraMe condition* m-ere
general and failure In one part usual
ly meant failure throughout the coun
try. And only one or two crop* were
depended upon.
Another cause of thooe indent fam
ines and of some of the famine* In En
rol* during the Middle ages, was want
of means of transportation. The land
where famine prevailed might not be
more distant than a hundred miles
from a district where there was
plenty, hut It was Impossible t# carry
some of the abundance of the latter
to the stricken country, or carry It In
sufficient quantities and with suffi
cient dispatch to succor the needy.
One of the great assurances against
want are our means of transporta
tion—the steamship and the railway,
which make available the whole
world's supply of food.
Why Hats Cauae Balrfneoa.
It is necessnry for the hair to have
sufficient air and good circulation of
the blood as It Is for the body. Both
must "breathe," and both must be sup
plied with blood to carry o3 Impuri
ties. In the case of hair, tbe blood Is
supplied through tiny veins situated
around the roots t.nd any tight band
around the upper portion of the head
will cause the hair to die and fell oat.
The construction of men's hats Is
such that they press rather tightly
upon the forehead and the bulging
portion of the head at the back, thus
Impending free circulation of the
blood.
The connection between a man's hat
and his baldness is clear from the fact
that there are but few men who are
entirely bald. Most of them have a
fringe around the ears and the lower
portion of the back of the bead, parts
which are not covered by their hata
