NATURE NEVER IN A HURRY
Yoking Lesson Prom Wis* Otd Moth
of, Msn Will Learn to Curb His
Foolish Impatience.
We sometimes got Important at (ho
slowness of world improvement Wo
see the cruelties of a great war, cruel-
tloa beyond belief, and wo are sick «t
heart to think the world Is not In a
mood overnight to abolish war. Wo
aeo ignorance leading to poverty and
wrefrihadnoat and wo waader tint ed-
ucation to not made universal st o&ee.
We tee preventable sickness produc-
ing disability slid suffering and We
•re hopeless at the alow dissnmlnatlon
of modern medical knowledge and pre*
ventive measures.
And then it Is borne In an as that
Nature never la in a hurry. Out In
'Colorado the Rocky mountains turn
a tumbling sea of peaka toward the
shy. Standing on the summit of Pike's
or Long's and looking off at that chaos
of rock one naturally thinks some
frightful convulsion of Nsture threw
ap these mighty peaks.
But that thought is wrong. Geolo-
gists hate learned that the mountain
ranges were slowly and imperceptibly
carved out by the action of rain and
snow and frost and lee. First thai
highlands slowly emerged front the
ocean. Then the rains snd streams
and glaciers made gullies and left the
peiks. An observer returning at con- ;
tury Intervals probably would hava
seen Might change. But eventually
the work waa done and the mountains 1
the surface of the water. Another del-
•leate instrument rests on the bottom,
with a wire connection. When an en-
gineer wants to know the depth of
water at a particular spot he rings up
"Katie" on the phone and she tells
htm the exact depth.
She speaks in soft, Jerky buzzes in
the mannfcr^of the Morse code,, and
when she gets out of her depth she
stutters. If the current is too strong
she becomes speechless. "Katie" will
also warn a captain how much watei
has got into the hold or the engine
room after n collision.
Hie floating ship's safe Is another
wonderful Invention. It automatically
casts Itself adrift from a sinking ship,
snd will send up a distress signal
every hour for twelve hours. A sound
signal Is also given, and it will burn
S light at night for three months.
That is the way ifature operates.
Man can afford to curb Me impatience.

Hard Luck.
Friends of a certain automobile own-
er are having a lot of. fun these days
With a story that leaked out about him
after a Are at "a downtown garage re-
cently.
This motorist carried $800 insurance
on his car and had been trying to dis-
pose of It for several \> eeks for about
1100 more than the amount of the in-
surance. -
v He kept the machine in the gara^;
that was burned and, when Informed
of the Are, confidently told hie friend#
how fortunate he was In having $80C
worth of insurance on a machine for
which he had been offered onlv about
1700.
On arriving at the garage to make
a survey of the ruins he was met by
one of the attaches of the place, who
congratulated him on the fact that his
machine was one of the three or four
that wore rescued.—Indianapolis N'ew*.
Water Irto Good Fertilizer.
High vslue as a fertilizer Is found in
the water Iris. The material Is par-
tially dried before stacking, and after
becoming well rotted it proves to have
about the same composition as farm
yard manure, except that It Is richer
In potash.
Only Ons Thing to Do.
Three-Finger Sam says the only
way to reform a man who has learn-
ed to ileal off the bottom is to keep
him good and scared.
WATER OF PECULIAR VIRTUE
Trouble With Philadelphia Visitor Wm
That H« Didn't Understand Just
How to Use It.
Harry N. Taylor, president of ths
National Coal .association, said is
Washington:
_ "It takes an optimist to look at the
situation hopefully—an optimist like
Rlttenhouse Walnut of Philadelphia.
"Klttenhouse Walnut, In the days he-
fore Philadelphia got a filter plant,
laughed heartily one evening at a
friend who complained that tbo Phila-
delphia water was too muddy to bathe'
in.
" 'Why, my boy,' said Rlttenhouse, !
'our Philadelphia water is the best In
the world for bathing purpose*. Why,
it beats Marlenbad.' ;
" ^9ut It's so mUddy.'
" That's the point,' said Rlttenhouse.
'It's medicinal mud,, full of phosphates
and calories and-thlngs. Tonight you
try a Philadelphia water bath, a good,
long bath, and you'll feel like a new
man. Let me caution you, though, to
use no towel!'
"'No towel?' sneorod the other. 'No
towel, eh?'
"'No, sir; no towel,' said Rltten-
house. 'Just stand before the mdlntor
and let the water dry on you. Then
brush It off.'"
