P E C U L IA R and unexpected, though easily comprehensible, result o f the “ hard times” and “ business depression” is reported In the shape of a marked advance in the e f ficiency o f the men who are still employed. Now that jobs are com paratively hard to get, the man who has one does his best, or at least his much better, to convince his employer that he is worth keeping, and his output o f labor and amount o f production have both notably increased over w hat they were in the days when discharge was some thing not at all to be feared and “ soldiering” was as safe as it was pleasant— pleasant to all except the man who paid the wages, that is. Roughly stated by one observer, the member o f a big contracting firm, sixty new men now do as much as 100 did formerly, with a corresponding reduction in the cost o f the work done. This, in many cases, has changed what had seemed to be a losing contract into a profit able one, and has made possible the continuance o f operations that otherwise would have had to stop. Looking deeper into the matter, one gets some new ligh t on the petty reasons so often given in the past as Justification o f the worker who did not exert himself to his fullest capacity. This, It was said, was for altruistic* reasons— in order that there m ight he work enough to go round and none should be le ft without employment. A p parently an even stronger argument along these lines could now be made, but. If the facts are as stated, the Inclination to make it has departed and in Its place has come what, according to old-fashioned people, Is the old- fashioned habit o f finding tbe highest self-interest in consideration o f the employer's Interest. — N ew York Times.

Every mus cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very 11 engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, often from a very insignificant bruise or Your S. S. S., in my opinion, i« as good m even scatch or abrasion.

T h ere is n plan for utilizing the tre mendous force which lies beyond the K h yber Pass in the wasted waters o f Afghanistan, says Charles M. Pepper In Scribners. It Is proposed to supply electricity fo r lighting the forts and m ilitary cantonments scattered over a large territory and also for the sta tions and yards along the railw ay lines. T h e enterprise contemplates the con struction o f trolley lines spreading out through the dense populations of north ern India and an electric railw ay from Peshwar up the Khyber Pass to the British outpost station there. W h ile I w rite this article this project is receiv ing favorable consideration from the British government. In some form within the next few years it w ill be adopted. Apropos o f the Him alayas and the progress o f electricity a query Is raised regarding Tibet. Is the ro o f o f the w orld less susceptible to this progress than Kashm ir, which may be called the eaves? T h e answer may be given that the conditions are not the same, fo r Kash m ir Is habitable by a large number o f people. In altitudes ranging from 2,500 to 10,000 feet, while Tibet at 14.000 to 20.000 feet could not sustain a large population. Y et should the ultimate outcome o f the British political mis sion to Lhassa with its m ilitary accom paniment be the prospecting o f the H im alayas fo r gold, and discoveries o f that precious metal he mnde, the water pow er would he utilized as In the K ola r gold fields o f Mysore. T h e influence o f the electrical ele ment In one o f Its prim ary forms al ready Is seen. During the British In vasion the “ lineman” was w lfh the ad vance guard o f the troops, and commu nication with the rear was kept up by telephone and telegraph apparatus. To-day remote recesses o f the Chnmbl valley in Tibet are In communication with the world's centers— London. New York. Hongkong— fo r the messages are transm itted to Darjeeling, the Indian gatew ay to the Tibetan passes, retele- raphed to Calcutta or Bombay and then cabled to their destination.

H A T the red men In these advanced tim e* aro developing pride o f race must be re garded ns a hopeful sign o f a prosperous future for a people who were seemingly brought nearly to extinguishment by ths vices and oppression carried to them by the advancing tide o f civilization. As seen on some of the reservations, the remnants o f formerly powerful tribes appear a sorry lot o f listless incompe tents, but i f sought in the right places many educated and capable Indians can be found who are prosperous as well ar self-respecting, notably the civilized tribes in the new State o f Oklahoma.

But the earth, any point In whose surface at the equator passes through fifteen miles In one minute, haa a cen trifugal motion so sw ift and so great that It Is almost Inconceivable. Why, then, reasoning on the basis o f thla wheel experiment, do not trees and plants grow In the directions they are urged by thla centrifugal force— name ly. with leaves and hongha toward the earth's renter and roots pointing to the sky? The answer la because there Is a force called gravitation which over powers the enormous centrifugal force and practically reveracs It. Whether this overmastering force which wc call gravitation Is electrical or what it la no one has yet been able to discover. T h ere can be no doubt that It la the greatest force we know of.
