Tonics:
"The truth of tha philosopher's
statement that whatever tha human
mind ran conceive human hands ran
accomplish has been demonstrated
Carina the last year or two. When
Jules Verne wrote his bjok. "A Thou-
sand Leagues Voder tbe Sea" It was
read with Interest lust as the Arabian
Nights and similar worke are read.
tit with no Idea that such a thing
as an undersea boat would ever exist
outside the cover of a novel. Th
name thing occurred again when
"Wells wrote his entrancing book.
The War of the Air." The horrible
Idea of underwster and aerial war
fare were too appalling for serious
consideration and no one dreamed
that the wild Imaginings of the novel-
lata would become realities. Yet both
are now accomplished facts; as much
no aa are the dreadnaughts and Iron
clad cruisers. State Topics hss drawn
attention to the construction of ten
Tjowerful submarines In this country
each of suffic ient power to cross the
Atlantic snd return again. Now fol-
lows the statement that powerful sir
ships are being constructed near New
York which will cross the Atlantic
flying at the rate of seventy-five miles
an hour and carrying one or two ton
of extra weight. These airships will
carry batteries of quick-firing guns
nd hundreds of pounds of high ex-
plosives. It Is snlil they will be able
to drop a ton of dynamite on a forti-
fication battleship or other object
rhosen for destruction. War Is no

The British government has con
demned several million dollara' worth
of American products on board ships

snd became the property of the Brit

THE PACE THAT WILL KILL YOU.

sensible comment:
The pace of life today Is so rapid

are so tremendous that overfatigue

do not wish me to become overtired.
..i.i natient to a ubyslclan. 'You
must avoid being tired was the pby
iclsn's reply. 'You must stop before
fatigue so much as touches you. Few
women however are able to obey
this prescription. Housekeeping Is a
rmill.ated affair. Joy and grief
alike make demands on our resources
Weariness of body and weariness of
mind march with us because we have
sometimes too little leisure and
sometimes too little variety. A de-
cided change of scene Is a panacea
for many ills. If we may not cross
the Atlantic we msy perhaps make
a visit and rest a while In a farm
house twenty miles sway. If we have
lived too long in one part of the town
It may do us good to remove to an

The shallow optimist hns said: "I
don't care what happens so long as
It doesn't happen to me." He is shal-
low because nothing hapiens that
does not happen to him. No man can
separate himself from his fellows or
wholly escape the evil results of any
act committed by any other. In the
unity of life we are so closely bound
together that no man ran be hurt
without Injury to all. There Is no
event that occura anywhere that has
not Its universal Influence for good
or 111. Sane selfishness demands tnat
a man should care not only for what
happens directly to hlra. but for tbat
which Indirectly Juwt ss surely affects
bis life and happiness. A realization
of this closer Inter relation of humanl
ty will do much to create that broader
imimh and Interest which are so
essential In the betterment of social
conditions today. The wise optimist

for It happens to me." Christian

For the benefit of Bome of our
graduates of last year who will
return to the Academy for an
other year's work and for any
others desiring thla higher
course we will organize a post-
graduate class. The course will
include higher English and lit-
erature Latin (Jennan or Span-
ish and college Freshman math-
ematics. In this connection we wish to
call attention to the advantages
of the course offered in German.
Prof. Moers speaks German as
his native tongue and he uses
the conversational method of In
st ruction. The higher course In
Latin will cover ground neces-
sary for a fourth entrance unit
in Latin. It will be especially
valuable for students who feel
the need of additional Latin be-
fore going to college.
There s a growing demand.
especially In Texas for Spanish;
and a knowledge of this lan
guage will be of great value not
only to scholars but to business
men In the future.
We wish to call attention also
to our course In debating. In
former years the principals have
had great success In training
boys In debate. It Is our pur-
ARCTI C EXPLORER
