â€"Coast ‘The neighbors did not like the little boy in the family which had just moved to Harmony Street. They thoucht him altogether too "fresh." He "spoke up" to people, calling them out of their names," as one victim ot his soâ€"called ridicule phrased it. In the first place, one of the things ho had done when his people were setâ€" ticd in their new home, was to stroll nearly the whole length of: Harmony Street and curiously read the doorâ€" plates of his neighbors. Having, as he thought, learned their names, he watched for doors to open and later accosted any members of these houseâ€" solds who came near him. Then one Sunday morning as the churchgoers were on their way to church, when they reached the house of Johnny Smart, they found him smilâ€" ing‘y standing at the family gate. "Gocd morning, Mr. Snithers," he said to the dignified cashier of the town bank. The man‘s name was "Smithers," and not liking Johnny‘s distortion of it he did not answer. (Giood morning, Miss Muck," he then said politely to the church orâ€" ganist hurrying by. "You‘re a saucy boy," Miss Muir answered tartly. But when Mrs. Tolson came along, and Johnny again spoke up politely: "Good morning, Mrs. Toddle," the xocdnatured woman laughed heartily. "Where‘d you get my name, Sonny?" "(n your doorâ€"plate, 67 Harmony Street. 1 saw you going in there. Have you got any little boys?" You‘re pretty young to be able to read doorâ€"plates correctly," laughed Mrs. Tolson. "Go in and ask your fclks if you can come along to church Mrs. Tolson. "Go in and ask yonrl folks if you can come along to church with me." | Johnny disappeared and soon a pleaâ€" saontfaced woman come to the door. You‘re very kind," she said. "You sec, we have only just come from a piart of the West where cvorybodyl knows and speaks to everybody else, and so far, it has been very hard for Johnny. He doesn‘t know anybody, ncbody speaks to him and he does not know what to make of it." l You let him come along with me,‘ and I‘ll soon fix that. He‘s made a| protty good start for himselt already,' although he‘s got ncmes mixed up l‘ bit If he hasn‘t exactly made friends ho‘s attracted attention." ' Later, coming out of church, Mrs. Tolson greeted with more than usnsl! cordiality a Mrs. Arnold who had her. two little boys with her. ‘ Let these little folks walk along shead of us," said Mrs. Tolson, "I want to talk to you." ‘ Fiiteen _ minutes _ later _ Johnny Smart‘s mother looked out of her winâ€" dow with happy eyes at her small son as he approached flanked on either side by a smiling boy. Mrs. Tolson chuckled as she went her way. _ ""Toddle‘â€"that‘s a good one, and he‘s not so far wrong either. it 1 get much fatter it will be all I can do."â€"Issued by the National Kinderâ€" zarten Association, $ West 40th Street, New York City.

At last year‘s i meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, he reâ€" ’marked that "the theory of the exâ€" p:.ding universe is in some respects |so preposterous . . that I feel almost an indignation that any one should | believe in itâ€"except myself." But he | believes in it so strongly that he has ‘uken the trouble to figure the rate | of expansion. Because of his work we lnow say glibly enough, as if it were , an indisputable fact, that the universe | has doubled its diameter in the last ©1,300,000,000 years. Latest Findings o _ e Of Science Earth‘s Diameter Expanding According to One Theory It cannot be said that Sir Arthur Eddington added anything to our knowledg_e_ of the expanding universe In these days space is as important as matterâ€"perhaps more important. The universe is curved, because matâ€" ter wraps space around it. To deterâ€" mine the diameter of the universe at any time we must therefore know the amount of matter that it contains. Here the mathematician may do little but guess. Dr. H. P. Robertson of Princeton, on the basis of some facts gathered by Dr. Hubble of Mount Wilson, has reached the conclusion that the universe has expanded to thirteen times its original size. gy OOE AERRW ETE CMcitbinam es N o i ‘ache becomes merely a bad memory. The highly problematical character of all these estimates is shown by the difference in the results if the existence of dark matter is considerâ€" ed. Thus Dr. Robertson has shown that, if encugh matter og that kind be ‘pres'upposed, the universe may have expanded to less than twice its original size. $ y Eddington has made the interesting suggestion that the universe may be shrinking irstead of expanding. The outer nebulae would then appear to rush away just as they do now. An observer outside of the universe would see everything contractingâ€" atoms, animals, planets, stellar sysâ€" tems. The earth would spiral nearer the sun with dizzily increasing speed. "We walk the stage of life, perâ€" formers of a drama for the benefit of the cosmic spectator," he said at Cambridge as he did when he deliverâ€" ed his presidential address before the Royal Astronomical Society. "As the scenes proceed he notices that the actors are growing smaller and the action growing quicker, When the last act opens, the curtain rises on midget actors rushing through their parts at frantic speed.

Paine of London, England, has been studying the decay of stone. "Comâ€" mon air and water organisms are ;nearly always present in decayed stone in surprisingly large numbers," BACKACHE NOT DUE TO AGE Many people think that backache is a trouble that comes paturally with advancing years, but this woman of 71 proves that it is not. m en Aucces Aitovece > ENT "I suffered for a ! backache," she write down to my ago (71). announcement, I thous Kruschen Salts.

Apparently many of these stoneâ€"attacking bacâ€" teria are developed in rain water. Professor Paine finds that nitrifying bacteria, which destroy buried rocks, are likewise present on decayed stone. Even cement may be disintegrated by them. What usually passes for sulâ€" phate incrustation on building stones may be due, in Professor Paine‘s opinâ€" ion, not to sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere but to a recently discoverâ€" ed bacterium which is capable of livâ€" ing on sulphur compounds. DIAMOND DIES FOR FILAâ€" MENTS. In a sense the inhabitants of the little town of Trevoux in France are responsible for the glare of Broadâ€" way and the hundreds of Main Streets that imitate it. For nearly all Treâ€" voux is engaged in the inherited task of drilling diamond dies through which tungsten is drawn to produce the filaments of millions of electric lamps. A little sixâ€"watt incandescent lamp has a filament four tenâ€"thousandths of an inch in diameter, which is ten times finer than the average hair of a man‘s head. Even after it is coiled 1,390 turns to the linear inch to form a springâ€"like filament through which electricity flows to produce light, the filament has an outside diameter less than that of a human hair. Enough filament wire for 666,656 lamps is drawn from a bar of tungâ€" sten threeâ€"eights of an inch square by twentyâ€"four inches long, weighing 11â€"3 ounds. The bar passes through ninetyâ€"five â€" dies â€" of â€" progressively smaller aperture. Nearly twoâ€"thirds of these dies are roughâ€"cut diamonds in which the workers of Trevoux have ©illed minute holes. A sixâ€"watt filaâ€" ment wire in its final drilling passes through a drilled diamond no bigger than a mere speck. Often as many as thirty attempts at drilling must be made before a good die results. A conical hole is drilled exactly through ‘each side. The aperture formed by the mecting apices of the two cones constitutes the die. HOW THE MOON WAS BORN. Hundreds of millions of years ago the earth was undoubtedly a perfect sphere of gas. The late Sir George Darwin, son of the great Charles, proâ€" jected himself back mathematically That this beautiful mountain has been set aside by the Canadian Government as a perpetu@l monument to Edith Cavall, British nursâ€" ing sister who was executed by the Germans during the World War. Each year, on the nearest Sunday to the fourth of August, memorial services are held at the base of the mountain, It has an elevation of 11,033 feet and is situated in Jasper National Park, Alberta, It is snow covered the year round and bears one of the most striking glaciers in the Rocky Mountains,.

Leoal cce mem_les + Do You Know? + » «â€"Photograph, Canadian to that remote time, and so did Henri Poincare. â€" In their equations the two beheld the gaseous earth spinning so fast that it assumed first the shape of a spheroid and then of an egg. As the eggâ€"shapped mass cooled and beâ€" came liquid it spun still ore dizzily, Darwin saw a temporary collapse, causing the egg to become a pear. > The stalk of the pear developed a bulb, and the waist of the stalk beâ€" erme thinner and thinner. The length of day was now only three hours. Tides raised by the sun aided cenâ€" trifugal force in distorting the earth. The liquid pear, coated by this time with a crust thirtyâ€"five miles thick, could not withstand the combination. Five thousand cubic miles of matter constittting the bulb was wrenched loose, in that stupendous convulsion the Moon was born. Some astronâ€" omers profess to see in the basin now filled by the Pacific Ocean the scar of that planetary catastropne. Repose after struggle, absolute rest following effort, is an indispensable preliminary to healing through pseychoâ€" therapy. The condition is technically known as "anapausis," says Dr. E. Berilion in the medical review Guerir (Paris). Dr. Arthur Neuberg of Meissen steps forward to destroy this theory. A simple calculation shows that the basin of the Pacific Ocean is only oneâ€"thirtieth as large as the Moon. Throwing in the material required to fill the Atlantic and Indiaa Oceans, Dr. Neuberg is still unable to collect enough to make up a Moon. He beâ€" lieves that the Moon was indeed split off from the earth but not that it came out of the Pacific basin. Anapavsis is really one of the hypâ€" notic states, selfâ€"induced or otherwise, The mind then tends in the most naâ€" tural way to sink into a profound slumber. Writes Dr. Berilion: "The state of hypuotic anapausis ought to work out in a full, complete suspension of all thought. "Attainment of this state does not signify merely absolute inertia of the mentality, a total obliviousness to all excitations or stimuli from without; it is attended likewise by immobility of the bodily organism, calm, peace, tranquillity of countenance. "Ask tho subject: ‘What are you thinking of?" He answers: ‘Nothing.‘ This means the certainty of full bypâ€" notic anapausis. "It is realized when the counfenance of the patient expresses complete inâ€" difference to whatever might otherâ€" wise excite of enervate him. He is in the antechamber of slumber. "Under the influence of the slightâ€" est fatigue due to the effort to heed or to attend, of the least monotony or of the least encouragement in such a direction, he will pass into a state of agreeable passivity. "The ease with which hypuotic anaâ€" pausis can be attained by children exâ€" plains the remarkable effects of the application of psychotherapy in the school period of juvenile life. "Habits of lying, of theft, of idleâ€" ness, of nailâ€"biting, of cowardice and the like have been quite obliterated. "In view of the perfect safety of the treatment it is to be deplored that more children of the neuropathic, imâ€" pulsive, and ‘difficult‘ types are not given the benefit of it."
