of Impenetrable mystery concerning

Johnston's explorations of Uganda a
giant ape larger than the gorilla is a

quite unfamiliar kind notably the

Discovering Writers.
The rejection of a manuscript oftea
left a pang bat the acceptable menu
script -. especially from an unknown
hand brought a glow of joy which
richly compensated me for all I suf
fared from the others. To feel the
touch never felt before to be the first
to find the planet unlmagined in tha
illimitable heaven of art to be in at
the dawn of a new talent with the
light that seems to mantle the written
page who would not be an editor for
such a privilege? I do not know bow
It is with other editors who are also
authors but I can truly say for my-
self that nothing of my own which 1
thought fresh and true ever gave me
more pleasure than that I got from the
like qualities in the rvork of some
young writer revealing his power.

th Littl That Man
Knows About Tham.
I slsed the opportunity some little
while ago on finding myself sitting
next to a great physicist of asking him
a scries of fumbling questions on the
subject of modern theories of matter.
For an hour I stumbled like a child
supported by a strong hand In a dim
and unfamiliar world among the mys-
terious essences of things. 1 should
like to try to reproduce It here but I
have no doubt I should reproduce It all
wrong. Still It was deeply Inspiring
to look out Into chaos to hear the rush
and motion of atoms moving In vast
Tortlccs to learn that Inside the bard
st and most Impenetrable of sub-
stances there was probably a feverish
Intensity of Inner motion. I do not
know that I acquired any precise
knowledge but I drank deep drafts of
wonder and awe.
The great man with bis amused and
weary smile was Infinitely gentle and
left me I will say far more conscious
of the beauty and the holiness of
knowledge. I said something to blm
about the Reuse of power that such
knowledge must give. "Ah" he said
"much of what 1 have told you is not
proved; It Is only suspected. We are
rery much In the dark about these
things yet. Froliably If a physicist of
a hundred years beuce could overhear
me he would lie amazed to think that
a sensible man could make such puer-
ile statements. Tower no It Is not
that! It rather makes one realize
one's feebleness In being so uncertain
about thins' that are absolutely cer-
tain and precise In themselves If we
could but see the truth. It Is much
more like the apostle who said: 'Lord
I believe. Help thou my unbelief.' The
thing one wonders at Is the courage of
the men who dare to think they
know."- Putnam's.
POWER OF WEALTH.
Money 8ays a Physician Is Able to
Purchass Even Life.
The aged millionaire sighed.
"I'd give all my money" he said "If
I could buy twenty-five more years of
life."
"But your money has already
bought you that" said the physician
coldly.
"What rot are you talking uowT
the millionaire asked peevishly.
"No rot at all for it is a fact a
dreadful fact" said the physician
"that the rich live on the average
twenty-five years longer than the
poor. Born rich you are assured of a
quarter century more life than would
be your allotment were you born poor.
Wealth buye you all that And yet
they say that there is nothing In mon
ey. Why man money buys life."
"How do you mean?" said the mil-
lionaire. "This sounds rather like
nonsense to me."
"Oh wealth protects one from so
many ills. Rich babies nearly always
live but poor ones die of a hundred
complaints Induced by poverty. Toor
babies die off shockingly. And so with
boys and girls with men and women
If they are rich. They live healthily
and therefore long while if they are
poor they live unhealthily and dis-
ease accident contagion privation
all sorts of preventable things carry
them off.
"Yes money buys life and reliable
statistics show that if two children are
torn today one rich and the otbe-r
poor the rich one will outlive the oth-
er by the tidy margin of twenty-flva
jeara." Philadelphia Record.
Crual.
"I'm developing quite a passion tor
motoring" said Miss Hoamley. "I
wonder If it's harmful."
"Quite the contrary" replied Miss
Cutting. "I should think it would be
very becoming to you."
"How do you mean becoming?"
"Well you know dear you can wear
a mask while motoring." SL Louis Re
public.
Ho Know His 8istor.
Since the engagement of his pretty
sister her small brother had been pua-
sllng his head to understand what It
meant.
"Why." exclaimed his mother "Mr.
Skaggs has asked sister to marry htm.
That means that he'll take care of
ber."
"Buy her thlugs?" asked the boy.
"Yea."
"Hats and dinners and Ice cream
and everything?" he persisted.
"Yes" was the answer.
Tb boy thought it all over for n mo
ment. and theu he said:
"Well that niau's got lots of com
a baxu't he?" Ladles' Home Jour
nal.
Chtap Feasting.
HanUiaT ou the top of oua of tha
stalls at a church baxaar recently was
a iu which ran. "Luncheons 1 to 3
p. m.. 1. Od."
A couutry farmer and his wife were
passing along admiring the various
stalls and their contents when he
espied the above sign and was heard
to remark to hla wife:
"Wo'll Jlsa her our dennera here
Jeannie. Two oors' steady catin'a no'
bad fur wann an' six!" London Tele-
graph. A Freak of Memory.
"Why In the world aro you carrying
two umbrellas?" somebody asked the
forgetful man and be looked amazed
at the question.
"I should think you'd guess that
easily knowing me so well" he said.
"I'm carrying two so that if I forget
and leave one anywhere I shall still
have the other TTouth'a Companion.
Lightning In South Africa.
In South Africa where thunder-
storms are terrific lightning often
strikes the beds of ironstone and blue

Tax on "Near Beer."
Atlanta. Aug. 6 Georgia's legisla-
ture through a bill passed In the
house expressed an opinion on tha
"near beer" situation by Imposing a
tax of S20o on all saloons or restau-
rants selling the beverage.

tal. He is resting comfortably.
When 6he Goes to tho Theater.
"1 Just don't want auy seats at all
unless they're good ones. The last
time 1 was here I sat behind a post
aal 1 said right then that I'd uever
come into the place again if 1 think
those over there might do Iluhi
Um-m-m! Mighty funny how all the
good seats are taken before the box of-
fice opens.
"No I don't want those. There's a
post In the way ami besides the Wot-
shcrname family always sit there and
chatter through the whole play. Yea
there Is a post too. I guess I've been
in this theater before. I wouldn't mind
those but they're rij;i by the bass
drum aud you can't hear yourself talk.
"What! Two dollars apiece for that
kind of show? And not next to the
aisle either. Lots of people say you
can see just as good and hear better
In the balcony anyhow. Well you
cau give me those two down there.
They're not as good as I'm used to
having but I guess No I don't be-
lieve I'll take them either.
"Can't you lay aside those two and
those two and those two for me and
when I decide I'll send my husband
around after them? Huh? Well I
think you're very unaccommodating
What? Of course I want to buy scats.
Just you give me those two young
man without any comment of any kind.

America Alono Has Humming Birds.
Though the art muaeuma of Europe
may have some treasures of which
America cannot boast our continent
has the distinction of a monopoly of
the world's supply of humming birds
the gems of all the feathered creation
Of these there are said to be some 400
species th Four Hundred we may
well call them nearly all of which
are peculiar to the tropical regions
Only eighteen cross the borders of th
United States from Mexico and occut
only In our southwestern states. The
popular idea Is that the bummer lives
only on honey gathered from flowers
This is a mistake. The bird does se
cure some honey but Its food consist
mainly of the small insects which fro-
quent the flowers. Some of these iu
sects are Injurious to the blossom and
the tiny bird fulfills a useful function
In destroying them. That the hummer
Is Insectivorous Is also shown by it
habit of catching tiny insects on the
wing which Is occasionally observed.-
