JUST DISAPPEAR, THAT'S ALL
English Newspaper Points Out How
Easy It Is to Become "Talk
of the Town."
Any InliHhltnnt of nny English vll
Inge can make himself the "Mile of tho
town" If lie will only go nwny from It
suddenly without leaving nny address.
There Is no person of nny consequence
too dull, loo harmless, or too respect
nblc to become, the hero of nny Imug
Innrj crime or Rood deed If only lie
will dlsnppcnr. In n moment he Is ft
center of nmmncc.
If he cnnio linck incognito nt the
end of the provcrblol "nine days,"
which menus of course n much longer,
time than n week nnd n linlf, he would
not recognise the highly colored por
trait which would tie shown him of
himself. What did he ever do, ho
might wonder, to he thought so lmd
or so good, so strange or so silly?
There Is no reputation which could
stand up unaccountable departure.
Such n vague heading us "Disap
pearance of a Lady" obviously nt
tracts many leaders or we should not
see it so often In the public press. Of
course, If It can be made n little more
definite, and the disappeared person's
blrthplncc, dally work, or social con
dition can be particularized, the ro
mnntlc Instinct of the multitude is
even more certain to be awakened.
The notion that someone has not
been burled, though every evidence is
thero to prove Hint he or she has died,
is n recurrent source of squalid ro
manceLondon Times.
TO REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS
Application of Artificial Respiration
Must Be Kept Up Despite Seem
ing Discouragement.
Dr. S. Jelllnck, nnnlyzlng the effects
of severe electric shocks received by
contact with the electrified wlro fences
during tlio World war, wroto In Elok
trotechnlk und Masclilnenbau that nn
Important factor was the state of pre
pnrcdness of the victim,
Experience, snys the Scientific Amer
ican, has shown that n shock
which wns likely to prove fatal If
received unexpectedly, was harmless
when anticipated. Experiments on
nnlmnls have confirmed this Impres
sion nnd have been Instrumental In
showing thnt physiological effects of
shocks administered with direct nnd
indirect current nro distinctly dllTqr
cnt. It Is nlso remnrked that a close re
semblance to dentil after shock should
not bo ncccpted too readily as proof.
Persons apparently dead have not In
frequently recovered when artificial
respiration was applied. It Is best
to give the victim the benefli of tlio
doubt.
' Blow-Resisting Paper Caps.
Astonlslilngly strong paper caps, cn
pablo of withstanding powerful blows,
though extremely llglft In weight, hnve
been Invented by n shipyard employee,
and nro intended to be worn by work
men whose duties expose them to dan
ger from fnlling objects. The process
by which tliu novel headgear is pro
duced linn not been divulged, says
Popular Mechanics, but it Is known
tl.nt chemicals are employed to hard
en tlio material, wltlwnit adding to its
weight. Several styles huvo been
mndc, the lightest weighing about sev
en ounces, and others only slightly
more. In a recent test, a one-pound
bolt, wns dropped on ono of them
from a height of 40 feet, with the re
sult thnt a barely preceptlblc dent
wns made In (lie paper. The novel
head coverings nro proof against wa
ter and acids, and are poor conductors
of electricity.
Make Your Speech Short.
It's n murk of business ability to
sny much In few words. It saves
time. The man nt the other end of
tho wlro doesn't want a sermon from
you. Ho culled you for facts, not en
tertainment. If that were on his mind
ho would go to the theater and got
tho real thing. Neither does your cor
respondent wunt to rend a pago to
learn thnt you wnnt six sectional
cases, quartered oak, dark finish, size
12-1, grade 200, shipped by express.
Ho wants your order In the fewest
words. It saves hi in tlmo and It will
save yours, too. It's a good thing to
nlm nt the grentest conciseness nnd
exactness of expression. You are apt
to niako fewer mistakes when you can
make few words tell your whole story.
You will rise In tho business world
as you arc nble to do It.
Diet and Energy
Tno summon Army acquires new
merit, Just as we thought all mil been
suiu, wnen wo learn um unit or a
doughnut will provldo lifting power to
carry a man to tho top of tho Washing
ton monument (a climb of 555 feet),
and six walnuts will do tho same,
vvhllo threo medium-sized olives will
see you comfortably half a mile on
your way. A single enrnmel, sayc
discouraging artlclo In the American
Journal of Medicine, supplies energy
for n mile's constitutional. Think of
the mistaken picnic luncheons that
have been laboriously carried in tho
pnst. Reflect that six olives and six
caramels arc all you need to supply
steam for a seven-mile walk, nnd think
how casually these mau bo eaten sit
ting over a supper tnble.

ESKIMO DANCE WORTH SEEING
Ceremony-Indulged In by Both Women
and Men Is Performed With
Rhythmic Grace.
Eskimos of Alnskn perform their
dancing feats to the sound of "tom
toms" with round, lint heads nnd short
handles. The heads of Iho Instru
ments nro of seal hide, which the nn
tlves moisten from time to time with
ft sponge to keep tightened. They
beat on the under side of the drum
llend with long, slender willow wnnils,
little chips breaking off the sticks
all the time and flying nbout. With
a slow, monotonous ehnnt at first, they
gradually work themselves Into a fren
zied shout nnd loud, resonant beating
of the drums as the dance goes on.
While they dance the men nro
stripped to tlio waist, but the women
wenr their calico "Mother Ilubbards,"
or denim parkas, with a gleaming
halo of wolverine about the face. The
dancing ceremony begins with n
"muscle dance" by a young boy, In
which the men later Join, after which
comes tlio "wolf dnnce," with more
energy nnd loud shouting. The women
then Join In, one by one, with marvel
ous rhythmic grace of movement.

like many n humnn mother, with nt

their eyes she cautiously carries them
to bask for n while In the winter sun

January. When they cnn clnmbcr she
teaches them the woodcrafts of tho

"GOD BLESS YOU'S" MEANING
Expression of Solicitude That
Be Traced Back to the De
cline of Athens.
Can
The Greeks and Romans had their
"Long life to you I" Cfesundholt! Is
now verboten. But wo still sny
Smite': and "God bless you 1' after
n sneeze.
This expression of sollcltudo cnn be
traced back to the decline of Athens.
One of the terrible devastating
plagues which darken the pages of
European history was raging in Wie
famous city. The flower of Greece,
her foremost writers nnd nrtlsts, tho
founders of much of our modern cul
ture, .were ruthlessly cut down. The
dead piled high, nnd dally Athenian
courage was taxed to the fullest. But
to every home where lay n victim, the
elixir of hope, tho rainbow of prom
ise, was tho sneeze, far It Indlcnted
to the watchers that the danger wns
passed, that the patient would recover.
A few centurlus later another epi
demic nssalled Europe, but this time
tho sneeze, being a symptom of the
mulady, was n bad omen.
In this nge of witches, goblins, med
icine men and leeches superstition
nourished. Some of the most Intel
lectual minds of the time accredited
charms and soothsayers. It was there
fore nothing extraordinary for the
pope to decree the exclamation "God
bless you J" by anyone who heard n
sneeze. This wns supposed to com
bat Its ovil powers and prevent the
sprend of tho disease. And "God
bless you 1" with Its kindly hunian In
terest hns come down through the
nges. .
