Doubtful If It Can Be Generated As Cheaply As Water Power., The inventor of a sunâ€"power enâ€" gine now working in Egypt claims that 20,000 square miles of the Saâ€" hara Desert can be made to deliver as much power as is obtained from all the coal now mined in_ the.world. The claim is a little startling at first. â€" Population has followed meâ€" chanical power for many years, and doubtless will continue to do so. If the sun engine is to be made truly practical, visions arise of the densely peopled areas of the North being deserted for the sunâ€"baked plains of Africa, â€"Arizona, and Mexico. What then? Nothing then. That emigration never will take place.. Nature has so ordered it that lands of perpetâ€" ual sunshine produce _ very little that mankind needs. Man, of reâ€" cent years, has arranged things so that power can be shipped long distances over a wire, with comparâ€" atively little loss. If the sunâ€"power engine does as much as this inventâ€" or hopes, the world‘s deserts may become great generating stations, and that is about all. Even this is problematical. It is dowbtful if sun power ever can be generated as cheaply as water powâ€" er, in certain favored regions, and it will be many a long year before the new develqpment cut down the Li Atant PitPy T consumption of coal French destroyer rammed and, it is believed, sank a German submarine off Dieppe.

Doing a *"*Small Thing" Belittles the Dooer. ‘ In one of Mrs. Wilkinsâ€"Freeâ€" man‘s best short stories, we read of a husband who is a hardâ€"working man, so intent on his schemes for moneyâ€"getting that he has grown thoughtless of the higher obligaâ€" tions of life. For forty years he has been promising to replace the tumâ€" bleâ€"down â€" farmhouse with a new one ; but he has built barns instead, and now he is breaking ground for another. The patient wife turns to her endless round of â€" housework, smarting under the sense of neglect and ill treatment t She is baking pies, and she hurâ€" ries with her task, for the morning is slipping away, ard a piece of pie for dinner is the husband‘s darling indulgence. It never enters her mind that she might rettaliate by the petty revenge of a pieless meal, and if she had, she would have disâ€" missed the thought as altogether unworthy. â€"Mrs. Freeman adds the sage reâ€" flection :>â€" ‘‘Nobility of . character manifests itself at loopholes, when it 18 doors "Large doors‘‘ are not the ordiâ€" nary belongings of. small lives. What our friends and the world know of us comes mainly by loopâ€" hole glimpses of the interior, but these, after all, are more significant than we are willing to believe. â€" Doâ€" ing a ‘"small thing‘‘ belittles the doer. It is a loophole disclosure of a narrow mind and a mean spiâ€" rit. We often think that "holding a grudge‘‘ is only the firmness that selfrespect demands when we know that we are on the right side of a quarrel. Really it proves only a mind too n&rrow and selfish to forâ€" get and forgive. The careless husband of the story would have been keenâ€"eyed enough to see the slender loophole of a pieâ€" less dinner, and the confidence and respect of forty years of wedded life would have suffered a loss by what he saw. _ A series of such loophole disclosures might account for a thousand loveless homes and a thousand broken friendships. But a noble spirit, a loving heart, a character moulded on broad lines, cannot be hidden, either. It comes abroad to eweeten and uplift the world through loopholes as well as through doors. A life that shines never fails to be seen, a‘though it may be fancy itself concealed under the ‘"bushel‘‘ of obscure circumâ€" stances.â€"Youth‘s Companion.

People Need Ten or Twelve Hours‘ Slumber Out of Every Twentyâ€" Four * That sleep is the key to the timeâ€" piece of dlife, indeed the most vital factor in long life, is the gist of a record of experiments just completâ€" ed by Professor Carl Ludwig Schleâ€" ich. Professor Schleich is one of the most eminent surgeons and medical authorities in the world. The local anaesthetic which he disâ€" covered is used by surgeons and physicians for operations in every civilized land. © circulatory systemâ€"artemes, veins and capillariesâ€"of the deposits that barden them and which are one of the foremost causes of senmility. _‘The main purpose of sleep, says Professor Schleich, is to clean the Eight hours work, eight hours play, eight hours sleep is all wrong, he believes. It should be at least ten and preferably twelve hours sleep and four to six hours work. _ Emt e Pem on Cmy o t i C + He also advises "gymnastics of the blood vessels.‘"‘ ‘ During the daylight hours of ac: tivity, muscular movements and work of all the nonâ€"sleeping tissues, two processes take place which ta.v&eap intimate asgociation with ardening and toughening of inâ€" elastic arteries and Other Blood Tubes. One of these is the precipitation and deposit from the streaming blood of all the heavy minerals, ashes and waste particles present in the scarlet flow. _ ¢ F The upshot of this is that the living walls and living tissues which line the blood pipes try, like a cat, to cleanse themselves. They literâ€" aly lift the stuff from the walls and carry it further inside, deep into the middle and outer layers of the arterial walls.: To the touch they feel hardâ€"sclerotic: : When your muscles are excessiveâ€" Iy in motion the adrenal glandsâ€"â€" little bunches of tissue over the kidneys which look like horse chestâ€" nutsâ€"pour out an extra quantity of juice made by them. ‘This raises the pressure of the blood, adds to the heat and rush of that fluid, and causes the little muscular rings in the blood pipes to work . beyond their normal. > The heart beat in sleep is softer,‘ the blood pressure falls to its lowâ€" est point compatible with health, the adrenal glands cease their manâ€" ufacture of muscleâ€"activating subâ€" stances, minerals are no longer deâ€" posited on and in the walls of the arteries and veins, the muscle rings in the blood tubes are allowed to rest instead of being overworked, and all the functions of the blood channels are free to begin cleaning away the debris and refuse which have collected during the working hours. But they must have time enough to do it. Ten hours is the least they can do it in. YVYaricose Veins. Gymnastics of the arteries and veins not only aid sleep to ward off arterioâ€"sclerosis, but they protect you from the most annoying torâ€" sions and bends of the veins known as "varicose veins.‘"‘ The way to carry out these vascular exâ€" ercises is simple enough,. Great paâ€" tience and persistency is, however, necessary. If you will run the forefinger and thumb of your right hand along the lines of your thumb, straight up from the front of your wrist and forearm you will feel the pulsations in the radical arteries of the arms. In like manner, half way between your chin and the angles of the jaw on each side, you will feel the pulse of arteries. On the forehead on each side, in the neck, in the ankles, in the elbows, armpits, thighs and crotch of the knee the same beats of the heart are to be felt as a pulse. 3 ; The veins, unlike the arteries, have no beat or pulse in them. They are, nevertheless, easily to be found on the surface of the skin by virtue ‘ of their bluish hue. The blueâ€"green color of the veins shows them up to the most unobservant persons. Physical Culture of the arteries and veins is carriegd out in this fashion,. The arteries are more circular and less flat than the veins, so they are seized as far as possible with the thumb and forefinger and rolled back and forth twenty times. _ Then the arteries are stroked and soothed as you would a lead pencilâ€"always away from the heart toward the distal, surface or the extremities. The purpose of this, it must be plain, is to squeeze out the limy deposits and minerals of the arterâ€" ies into the inrushing blood is the very direction in which the heart is sending it. The wash of the blood thus cleanses and takes up the crumpling particles of gravel and sand and nature has that much less work to perform. i L civcsd t te ds Sn t > cn cA td Plainly the best time to twirl, twist, stroke and smooth out all of the arteries within reach is just before you are to take your tenâ€" hour sleep. The arteries, which are not within direct reach of your fingers must be exercised by deep pressure if in the abdomen. Bweâ€" dish movements, massage and Faraâ€" dic electricity. "It‘s pretty hard to sleep on an empty stomach,‘"‘ said the tramp wearily to the hustling farmer‘s wife "Why, you poor fellow !‘‘ she reâ€" plied sympathetically. ‘‘Why don‘t you turn over and sleep on your back for a little while?

One of the Most Miserable Ways of Making a Living. An extraordinary occupation that many of the very poor follow in Japan, is that of the esatori, or bait catcher, who spends his days gathering â€"angleworms. _ We say "his,"‘ continues the account in the Japan Magazine, but the bait digâ€" gers are as often women as men. The Japanese angleworm is not taken from the sceil, as is the case in Occidental countries, but from the black mud of the rivers and canals. Tokyo is a great place for this calling. The city has numerous streams and camals connected with tidewater, and as soon as the tide begins to cbb you can see women with their baskets and their mud forks climbing down the stone facâ€" ings of the canals, plunging their legs into the deep mud, and picking up the wrigging ‘red angleworms that they dig out of the mud. & These worms are a somewhat difâ€" ferent species from the carthworm. They are slightly stouter, with jointed bodies and peculiar mousâ€" tached mouths, The receptacles for the captured worms are baskets or tubs with covers that contain small square openings through which the women «dlrop the worms as they pick them up. As soon as the bait baskets or tubs are full the women take them to the shop and sell them. The bait shop deals in bait only, and from _ these establishâ€" ments the fishermen buy worms for their hooks. A despatch from New York says : The amount that the angleworm catchers can make daily is very smallâ€"not more than forty sen for each worker; but it helps out in the household expenses. In the summer weather the work is not hard, although it is certainly hot, with the sun beating down on the stooping form and reflected from the wet mud and water. In the colder weather,> however, it is more trying, for the bait catcher has to stand for hours in the freez ing mud. _ o PeC ES Diseases that are the result of their calling are frequent among the bait women, especially beriberi and dropsy. The Japanese regard bait digging as the most miserable way of getting a living known to mortal man. L JAPANESE BAIT DIGGERS.

Boecause of the gravity of the issue raised by this first American death resulting from the German submarine programme, officials refusel to make any comâ€" ment on the case for publication. It has been realized ever since the despatch of the communication to the German Government notify ing it that the United States would hold it to a strict accountability for the acts of its naval authorities that this Government was practiâ€" cally committed to serious action in the event of such a case arising as was indicated in the American note. It is now believed that a case has occurred falling within the purâ€" view of the American note. It was made plain, however, that the State Department will move with extreme deliberation and care in the Thrasher case. No effort will be spared to obtain every fact having a bearing on the case, par ticularly with reference to the cirâ€" cumstances under which the Falaba was sent to the bottom and more than one hundred persons, includâ€" ing Thrasher, lost their lives.
