As it is, the toll of our streets and roads is an appalling one, and it is essential that measures should be taken of an active and, if necessary, of a drastic kind to put a stop to this appalling toll of human life and limb. This year 20 per cent. more people have been killed upon the roads than last In the last three years more Brit- ish people have lost their lives on the peaceful traffic of our high roads and town streets than were lost by all the British armies during the whole of thg Napoleonic wars. There is a real anxiety in the na- tion on account of these facts, and I believe that the nation has come to the conclusion that this cannot be allowed to continue unchecked, rr fe Electric Bicycle Introduced Amsterdam, Holland. -- A firm at Meppel has constructed an electric bicycle capable of a maximum speed of twenty-five miles an hour and of covering eighty miles with one loading of the accumulator.

With this system he hopes to attain a temperature of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. a Investigations of this type are uegesry it we are ever to solve the problems presented by matter. We live in a world of low temperature. New worlds, one after another, are revealed as normal temperature by 100 degrees and even less, If wa- ter can be changed into steam by a rise of temperature to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and iron becomes an in- candescent lquid when it is melted at 1,500 degrees Centigrade (2,786 degrees Fabrenheit), what would happen at 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit? As the temperature rises, matler becomes freer and freer. Atoms break from molecules, and at last, ifn the blazing sun and the stars on high, even electrons escape from atoms. © Mn the glow of an electric lamp and the fierce blaze of the sun a final, great moment Is reached: light is the apotheosis of motion. By high temperature the physicist means anything over 500 degrees Centigrade (932 degrees Fahrenheit), at which the first faint glow of red appears in fron, "White heat" be- gins at 1,000 degrees Centigrade (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit). Some twenty-eight metals melt at about that temperature. Long before it is réached (at '800 degrees Centigrade or 1472 degrees Fahrenheit) there i$ mo more magnetism; some inex- plicable change has taken placy in the electrons of atoms. Blow into coal fire with a blast that has the fury of a tempest. The effort is useless in driving the tem- perature still higher than that of molten iron. The "hemist steps in and gives us inflammable gases which he combines with oxygen. So we have oxy-hydrogen and oxy- acetylene flames. With their aid the rebellious moleculeg, of platinum melt at 3,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Only a little higher--484 degrees Fahrenheit more, to be exact--and all matter becomes a conductor of electricity, , At 5,432 degrees Fahrenheit tung- sten melts--the metal of whicy the filaments in electric lamps are now made. We are still in the primitive stage of being constrained to burn or heat something to Incandescence in order to create artificial light. The higher the glowing pofnt the brighter the light. Hence the years spent in research by Dr. Coolidge to discover a way to felt together the particles of brittle refractory tung- sten, normally a powder, so that it can be drawn into a fine wire. Electricity galvanizes the mole- cules of a metal into furious activity. Metallic arcs, used in welding, drive them to a frenzy indicated by 3,600, 3,800 degrees Centigrade (6,512-6,872 degrees Fahrenheit), Higher still is the temperature of the carbon arcs--3,900 degrees Centigrade or 7, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel Is now melted by them, one hundred tong at a time, and the carbon rods are so huge that they are pushed forward by electric motors, Molecules cap be lashed into fury on radio principles. So we have the induction furnace invented - by Dr. Edwin F. Northrup while he was a professor at Princeton. Not only Is steel melted in this furnace but a much higher temperature has been made available. Graphite has been vaporized from a large chamber heated to 3,600 degrees Centigrade (6,512 degrees Fahrenheit). Ordi- nary rocks of silica or magnesia base are torn apart and changed into vapors. Bits of wood flash into gas before they apparently even enter the heating chamber. The gas. thus generated by a quarter of an inch cube is almost enough to blow the furnace apart. The highest temperature that man hag thus far produced is 45,000 de grees Fahrenheit, obtained by pass- ing 50,000 volts through a fine tung- sten wire. A blinding flash, a report, a puff of air--that is all. No earth. ly measuring instruients ould stand up under the heat. Even at 5000 degrees Fahrenheit the methods of measurement are poor--the result of calculation rather than of exact com- parison with accurate standards. Eddington's estimte of 172,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit for the interior of the sun is highly imaginatve and stands on a very shaky foundation.

Hungry Ants, Inch Long, Make_Jungle Unbearable Asuncion, Paraguay.--It isn't the wild beasts that make the jungle dan- gerous, it's the insects and the heat and the lack of water. Donald S. Wees, American explorer who return- ec to civilization last week found out that during three months in the wilds of northeastern Paraguay on an éx- pedition for the Harvard University Museum. Up there, he said, ther: are ants nearly an inch long and they almost ate him alive. The Acaray River at flood is a terrible thing when a man has only a cance chopped out of a log. He escaped the ants and the floods; he cut hit way wth a machete through a jangle of plants whose leaves have kniielike edges, and he brought back with motion pie tures and specimens of wild life un known in the United States. Last March, said My. Wees, he and his companions had been on the trail for a month when their provisions ran out. The humidity had softened his feet so that he was virtually a cripple, but he walked eighteen miles in the sun through the most forbidding country until he found some Indians from whom he bought enough to carry himself and his friends along. EE im Contentment It is not for all to feed at the firs table of life's pleasures, Many who appear far more deserving are saus- fied to pick up the crumbs that fall. They have learned to be content ith what comes in their way, instead of pushing others aside in striving after the bes . And Low much happier and better are they who struggle to get the so- cilled cream of life? They miss the quiet peace and poy of contentment, und now little of the satisfaction of anticipating the rexard of better things to come. But the olhers have compensation in the often unexpected discovery of that which the eager seekers have overlooked, or, in the heedless rush after happiness, have passed by un- noticed. Many a treasure ic found in unlikely places; so, content with what the world tos asice as valueless, they find happiness. For them it is enough--it is riches, be cause it ig God's igft; and the godl: ness which brings contentment is the greatest gain of all.--M. K. boandless VALUE OF TRAVEL The test of the real value of travel lies almost entirely in the area of the enlargement of one's knowledge and of one's spiritual horizon. Of what real benefit or use is it to become ful- some over the visit to the home Or birthplace of a noet whose poetry one Las never taken the trouble to read or study? It is true that the very visit may @' 'pose one to acquaintanceship with the poet's writing afterwards, but it is doubtful whether the traveller who thinks it worth while to visit the hore of a poet whose poems he has never read will take the trouble afterwards to read what he has had ho interest in reading before. Of what value is it for one to see where a man was born, or where another man died, when the man himself means nothing to one as a personality and influence.-- Dr. W. E. Gilroy. maimilec-- Colors May Classify Books Parig.--A new system of bookbind- ing is advocated by a publisher here, with red for adventure and crime stories, blue for love novels, green for travel books, purple for historical works and biography, yellow for es- says and psychological studies, orange for humorous and satirical writing.
