What with his scientific achieveâ€" ments, his love affair, and his mysâ€" terious adventures, Adam was just then living a very full life himself, Of late he had been unexpectedly neglected by Mr. Perkin who, to all he could tell, might have been too much engaged with his professional work to take any further interest in the Norvals, and their chairs, Adam was content that this should be so, indeed he did not look forward with This impression was confirmed by the story of the old fellow‘s next experiment. This time, being anxâ€" ious to determine the effect on coldâ€" blooded creatures, he had succeeded in so frightening his wife‘s pet goldâ€" fish that it had leapt gasping out of its bowl. Only the fact that the doâ€" mestic cat was at that moment clingâ€" ing distractedly to the curtain bhad saved the fish from complete destruc tion, Undoubtedly the Professor was finding a new interest in the scienâ€" tifle life, 6 _ "A most important step, Meriston. A most important step," agreed the Professor. "I must write Dobson toâ€" night about it, Meanwhile if you only know how delightful you look ‘m my hat you would be wanting to scream with laughter instead of with terror." He chuckled delightedly. Evidently the new interest was doâ€" ing him good, rejuvenating dAim, for never before had he been suspectâ€" ed of harboring a sense of humor of any but the most academic kind. Another unexpecied effect of the inâ€" vestigation was to decide Adam that he would in future wear a hat on all suitable occasions and that inâ€" side the hat should be a lining of superior foil. He was beginning to feel that he would never be able to trust the Professor not to play one of his little jokes, "Looks as if a fellow had only got to line his hat with foil to be imâ€" mune," he commented. "Off, for heaven‘s sake!‘" he would ery as the sense of fear seemed to soak into him, and then a little later: "That‘s better, It seems to get worse every time." But one method that consisted of a sheet of foil running over the head from ear to ear seemed to be completely efâ€" fective until the foil slipped. "Switch off!" he cried. The Professor humanely switched off, though there was a twinkle in his eye as he did so that showed how much he enjoyed the infliction of a little terror. He crossed the room to some coatâ€"hooks and took down a greasy old felt hat. "Put this over it," he suggested, On complying Adâ€" am was able for the first time to resist the effects completely, 1 For the rest of the evening, thereâ€" fore, the two busied themselves plasâ€" tering Adam‘s person with strips of tinfoil, an dexposing him to the rays with each of the various protections that the neurologist had suggested. It needed only a few seconds‘ exâ€" posure under most of these condiâ€" tions to decide Adam that the curâ€" rent must be switched off immediateâ€" Iy. It was not until he had, as he put it, "got the rabble started" that they were able to adjourn to his room and study the letter from the famous neurologist, It expressed the utmost interest in the phenomena and went at great length into an analysis of the probable explanations. Its most interesting feature, however, was a series of suggestions for the shieldâ€" ing of certain of the nerveâ€"centres with metal plates. Once they had experimentally decided for him which centres, if any, could be so protected Professor Dobson promised them furâ€" ther enlightenment, ; The man turns out to be Adams employerâ€"Corvilie Lerkin. f Adam, in his private hours . expertâ€" ments with shortâ€"wave wireless. Walking homeward, Adam is nearly run downr by a large swift car. He calls on Priscilia Norval. Her father recounts the history . of five antique chairs he possesses. He attempts to track the thieves and reaches an old â€" warehouse. _ Adams enters the bullding while the girl watches the door. Suddenly he hears {footsteps. that it contains the day‘s takings of her father‘s shop. My advice to her is to take the work and continue living with her Nusband and family, at the same time Instead of finding fault with him, and taking every opportunity to eriâ€" ticize, she should be more sympatheâ€" tic and tolerant, However, her lack of sympathy is clearly shown in her writing. It seems to me, in the first place, that themo bickerings have been caused by a lack of appreciation on the wife‘s part for her husband‘s in ability to get work. This is unfortunâ€" ate, and my correspondent is taking a rather oneâ€"sided point of view, with which I cannot have much symâ€" pathy, ‘These are topsyâ€"turvy days, and many men, similar to the writâ€" er‘s dhusband, are unable to obtain work, through no fault of their own. He, like many others, is the victim of circumstances entirély beyond hlll control. I haven‘t given the letter in full, but surely the salient points, Now, turning to the two specimens of handwriting, I find firstly that the writing of the lady who wrote to me, shows that she is very selfâ€"containâ€" ed, even to the point of being selfish. She sees only her own point of view, She is shrewd, a quickâ€"thinkâ€" er, and is extremely intelligent. But that factor of "self"â€"stands out like a flagpole, and effects every other trait in her character, She simply cannot think of anyone outside herâ€" self. On the other hand, her hus band‘s writing shows more tolerâ€" ance and affection, He is more kindâ€" ly and is straightforward, honest.‘ loyal and is capable of getting things‘ done. Perhaps not particularly inâ€" tellectual but steady, I I have a letter from a married woâ€" man who asks my advice on a proâ€" !blem that is cropping up quite often nowadays. Here is what she says: ‘\“l am a married woman in my midâ€" _dle thirties, and have two young children, My husband lost his poâ€" sition about a year ago, and has not been able to get new employment. Although we had some money saved up, we have still had a difficult time making ends meet, and I have got to a point where 1 am utterty fed up with the situation, Before 1 marâ€" ried, I held a good position, and now I find that 1 can get my old work back again, but with not so good a salaryâ€"enough, at any rate, for us to get along on. However, for some time, my husband and myself have not been getting along very well, We bicker on the slightest pretext, and I am seriously wondering whether to leave him, and take a place of my own. 1 don‘t really see why 1 should be the one to work and keep the home going, while my husband idles.

I am happy to add that there are by far the majority of women who are not like this, but in those cases where it is so, a good deal of unâ€" happiness and trouble could be saved by mutual understanding of the difficulties to be contended with. I have given rather unusual promâ€" inence to this letter this week, beâ€" cause 1 find that this problem is apâ€" pearing quite often, and it would cerâ€" tainly seem that there are some wives who are content to be cheerâ€" ful and friendly when things are goâ€" ing alright, but immediately disaster hits the home, in the shape of unâ€" employment, as a rule through no fault of the husband, then they make their _ husbands‘ _ lives unhappy through illâ€"timed and unfair â€" critiâ€" cism, To the husband, I suggest that, if it is impossible to get anything in his own line of work, at least he try something, even a selling or canvassing job, Anything to keep himself busy, and help to retain his selfâ€"respect and esteem. modifying her outlook as regards her husband, She would find, in all proâ€" bability, that a more kindly attitude would spur him to greater effort to obtain work of some kind.

By the way, have you been able to make any progress in that little matter?" J "Mr, Montada? 1 was really rathâ€" er afraid I had annoyed him. I seemâ€" ed to get in his way." Adam could only look mystified. It was so. rarely that he had any conâ€" tact with the firm‘s clients. Mr. Perâ€" kin, however, did not seem to reâ€" quire an answer. He nodded and went on.

Yes, you obtain many things by asking for them, but do not imagine that they cost nothing. You may pay in selfâ€"respect â€"and selâ€"reliance, if not in money, A better motto is: Don‘t be afraid to work for what you want." The young person who adopts that. as his rule of life goes much farther than the one who asks, and lets other people=do the work. \ "Don‘t be afraid to ask for what you want," seems to be the motto of a large number of modern young people, The young fellow who stands on the street corner, and by raising his thumb indicates that he wants & lift, is representative, If his re quest is informal, his thanks are likely to be equally so. The other youth, who appeals to housewives to subscribe for a magazine they do not want and have no time to read in order that he may receive help in getting an education, is often equally free and easy about asking for what he wants, and takes it without any undue display of gratitude, "Don‘t be afraid to ask for what you want." .

All the "dead beats" who have beâ€" ?OIIlO so adept in dodging jobs that Some pertinent questions arise Is there any relation between the rate of growth of a child and its suceptibility to disease in adult life? Will a child that matures rapidly die early? Are baby doctors wrong in advocating rapid growth? It» certainly follows from â€" these experiments that the potential life span of an animal, not accurately known at the best, is greater than biologists have supposed. Since the average male rat lives from 500 to 600 days and the avor age man from fifty to sixty years, ten days in the life of a male rat is equivalent to a year in human life, It is possible that merely by putting ourselves on a carefully planned diet and restricting our calories in youth, thus prolonged to possibly forty years, we would double the thro;acore years and ten allotted by the Psalmist? After more than â€" twentyâ€"cight months the experimental rats were allowed to mature. Thirteen were still alive after 1,200 days The growth of all these had been siowed down. They represented 18 per cont. of _ an original _ retardedâ€"growth group. The rapid maturers were all dead. An automobile may be in perfect condition and yet unable to make more than twenty miles an hour beâ€" cause the flow of gas to the car buretor is deliberately restrictod, So with a rat, He can be given just enough food of the right kind to generate the amount of energy re quired for daily life but not enoush to grow. Just as an automobile can be speeded up by supplying more calories (gasoline) to the carbure tor, so a rat can be made to grow and live faster by feeding him with calories (sugar, beef liver or simiâ€" lar food), Merely by controliing the calories in food and yet satis ying every nutritional | requirement | cyâ€" cept that of tissueâ€"building, the rate of growth can be controlled. Dr, McCay and Miss Crowell have reported on their work in Science and in The Scientific Monthly, among other periodicals. It is not the first time that rats have been tested in this way, _ There is, for example, the notable work of Dr. H. Louise Campbell of Columbia Uniâ€" versity, If the results of Dr. McCay and Miss Crowell are dwelt upon here it is because they are based on a consideration of factors pre viously ignored. span is two years. He will eat ev. erything that a man will, Moreâ€" over, females live longer than males, which is also true of human beings. Reasoning thus, Dr. C. M. MceCay and Miss Mary F. Crowell of Copâ€" nell‘s Animal Nutrition Laboratory began a series of carefully conâ€" trolled experiments with rats, only to find much truth in the old saying that we dig our graves with our teeth. They found it possible to hasten death in rats by a life of gluttony and to postpone it by reâ€" stricting the diet in the growing period. The mores are against experjâ€" meating on human beings, Besides, man produces only about three genâ€" erations in a century. â€" But there is the white rat. He will do.

Muitiply the time required for an _animal to reach maturity by 6 or 7 and the resulting value is the life span of the anima!, Thus Buffon, disâ€" tipguished French naturalist of the eighteenth century. He probably had the formula from Aristole. If it js correct, man ought to attain the age of at least 120 years. And that the formula is substantially correct for nearly all lower animals there can be little doubt, Why should man be an exception? Clearly it is worth testing the reâ€" lationship between growth and span of _ life. Suppose, â€" for â€" example, growth were retarded. Would man live longer?
