SENSE OF DIRECTION.
A Help In Finding Your Gearings at
Night Without a Compass.
An English survivor of the South Af
rican war who was often sent on long
distance night reconnaissances has
worked out a system whereby any one
can be right at home i:i the dark with
out compass or other instrument to aid
the sense of direction. lie worked out
the exact movement and direction of
the largest and most easily distin
guished lights in the heavens so that
the least scientific eye can recognize
these signs by sight, and the whole
dome of the heavens becomes a vast
compass.
if there were fire balloons or beacons
placed in the heavens north, east, south
and west it w< uld be easy for any one
to po in these directions by simply fol
lowing the signs. Similarly, if one
wished to go. say. a hand's breadth to
the right or left of the beacons one
could easily do so. The largest stars In
the heavens can be depended upon in
the same way.
"If you put the front buttons of your
coat on the north star or other direc
tion stars." writes this authority,
"your right and left breasts give you
an angle of 45 degrees from the stars
and your shoulders a right angle.
Also, it is only a matter of a little prac
tice to bo able to measure 15 degrees
of horizon with your hand, so you can
get any number of degrees to the right
or left of your direction stars, and aft
er a little practice it becomes second
nature to reiogonlze the points of the
compass at sieht, and you acquire the
same sense of direction as bushmeu,
Arabs and people who live far away
from civilization." — Popular Science
Monthly.
Fasting Fop Health.
Thousands of years before it was
practiced as a religious rite fasting
was practiced as a health measure in
Egypt, India and China. Contempo
rary to Cicero w.ts Asclepiades, a
Greek physician, who strongly advo
cated this idea, and 1,000 years after
his day Ilm Sina. philosopher and
medical sage, argued the virtues of
temporary abstinence on the ground
that it came eas!er than constant mod
eration.
Age and Youth.
W. D. Howells said of old age at one
of his Sunday afternoons:
"Age is modester than youth. I've
often noticed that when I tell a mother
that her daughter is the image of what
she was herself at nineteen the mother
is delighted, but the daughter looks
startled."
Lifo In th» Navy.
"And what do you sailors do?" asked
a visitor on one of our battleships.
"Well," responded the jolly tar, "we
does what we please until we ai% told
to do something else, and then we does
that something else pretty darn quick."
—Boston Transcript.
Busy.
"Bliggins says a man ought to attend
to his own business."
"Yes. But he thinks It's his business
to show everybody else how .to attend
to his business."—Washington Star.

THIS WORLD CROWDED?
Why, Lake Champlain, Frozen, Would
Easily Hold All Its People.
There are on this globe about 1,500,
000,000 inhabitants. Most of us, who
lack the sense of proportion, at the
mention of this big number are apt to
speak of tho "overpopulation" of the
world. Yet if we spare a few moments'
thought we shall better know what
this represents. There is in my study
room a geographic globe about fifteen
inches in diameter. On that sphere
there is marked a little spot about the
sizo of the point of a pencil—at any
rate, so small as to make it impossible
to write the initials of its name—Lake
Champlain—upon it.
Yet whenever Lake Champlain
freezes over there Is good standing
room for every one of all the inhabi
tants of the earth, anil then this lake
would be considerably less crowded
than some of the busy streets of New
York. Iudeed, strange as it may sound,
every one, young and old, would find
about one square yard to stand upon.
Nay, more, if the very young and the
very old wouHl plea.- e to stand aside on
the shores of the lake the remainder of
the total inhabitants of the world
could arrange a skating party where
there would lie less crowding than is
seen on a busy winter day on that skat
ing pond in New York's Central park.
Sketching the picture is like visualiz
ing the great tragedy of the human
race—the few people of this earth do
not begin to realize their immeuse op
portunities and their unused resources;
meanwhile they have the insane feel
ing that the world is "overpopuiated."
All our science, our religion, our art
have not given us common sense
enough to learn how to use them to
live comfortably and happily—we, this
mere handful of inhabitants on this
immense world of ours. Nor does it
look as if we were going to get to our
senses before many generations to
come as long as we keep 011 muddling
and blundering, as long as greed and
vanity, lust for power, the main inher
itance of the aims and thoughts of the
past, together with some of cur time
honored traditions, keep us in the cold,
relentless grip of bygone ages.—From
"Renewing the Earth From the Air,''
by L. H. Baekclaml, in Scribner's.
The Voice of the People.
Lady John Uussell visited Faris as
a girl iii 1S30 and witnessed tlie some
what artificial enthusiasm for Louis
Pliillippe, who had just been placed on
the throne by the revolution. "It Is
said," we are told, "that any small
boy in those days could exhibit the
king to curious sightseers by raising
a cheer outside the Tuileries windows,
when his majesty, to whom any mani
festation of enthusiasm was extreme
ly precious, would appear automatical
ly upon the balcony and bow." ■
More and More.
The gravedigger in "Hamlet" was
a very witty man. wittier far than
many of the epitaph makers who have
adorned headstones with their jingles.
A sample of the punning rimes which
are cut on tombs follows. It comes
from the grave of William More, at
Stepney, near London:
Here lies one More, and no more than he,
The More and no more-how can that be?
Why, one More and no more may lie here
alone.
But here lies one More, and that's more
than one.
