"As tactlessness "may be "the effect •Sf either intention or Ineptitude, and •s tact is something in the nature of 41 talent, a good many more people say and do wrongly than say and do rightly. There are, of course, times when it la tactless to say or do nothing, but it is much less disturbing than to say or do the wrong thing. When I was quite a young man there was for a brief season a fashion that required the trousers to be worn very tight. Among my friends of about my own age was one, generally known as Slim, who seemed to have been born for cavalry service. Slim believed In fashion, and followed it to the limit. Thus It was that he appeared In a pair of trousers that were apparently skin tight. 'Slim,' I said, the first time I saw him In them, *you look Hke a pair of calipers.' The comparison was not original with me or, indeed of recent origin, and I had no Idea that he was so sensitive, but-- well, the spectators said that it was quite entertaining before Hiey get OS •part. "We made it up afterward, and have been good frledds ever since. The other day I saw him at the barber shop. 'Well,' he said, with a rather reminiscent air, 'your nose never grew quite straight again, did ftT 'No,' I agreed, touched, myself, somewhat with the charm of reminiscence; 'and I see that you are still wearing two of your incisors on a bridge.'

New Source of Rubber th« Madagascar rubber vine, wltfe wblcb Edison is experimenting as a possible source of tires, is a relative of the common milkweeds, according to Dr. O. P. Cook, senior botanist of the United States Department of Agriculture. About 4 per cent of the total weight of the plant is rubber, and the product as exported from Madagascar has been regarded as gt good quality, though not equal to the rubber of the Brazilian hevea tree. The lower quality, however, may possibly be due to the primitive methods now used in obtaining the Madagascar robber, and more scientific chemical treatment may serve to remedy this. Though no serious efforts have hitherto be^n made to exploit the vine commercially. it is known that it will grow freely In southern Florida, and efforts to extend its range northward Into the regions of occasional frosts will be followed with interest. The vine belongs to the genus known t* botanists as cryptostegia. Obtain Pare Rhenkak fehenium, the chemical element whose discovery was recently announced in Germany by Doctors Walter and Ida Noddacks, has now been obtained in pure form. The first discovery was based on the finding of the characteristic lines in the X-ray spectrum as detected by photographic plates, but now the Noddacks have succeeded in obtaining, after long and difficult refining processes, a small quantity of the substance itself. They describe it as a black powder of high melting point, that unites readily with • number of other elements. In an atmosphere of pure oxygen It ignites, forming a white oxide. The quantity so far obtained is very minute, only two milligrams, or 7-1QO.OOO of an ounce, and the experimenters are now at work to elaborate more of it, which wlii permit of exact quantitative chemical examination.
