Until the war broke out few Ameri cans had heard the word bosche or boche, the French soldiers' nickname for a German. It doesn t appear In the Academy's dictionary or in such editions of Llttre as most of us can get hold of. In Delvau's slang diction ary its definition is "Mauvais sujet, dans l'argot des petites dames, qui le preferent au muche"; which last word Delvau defines as "jeune homme poll, doux, amiable, reserve." A letter from Thomas Ogilvy to the Spectator sup plies some additional information. He says M. Theodore Joran is his author ity for saying that Llttre does define bosche, and defines it as ulcer or pes tilential tumor. M. Joran thinks it related to the Latin bucca, which means first the cheek, regarded as a puffable thing, and then, according to Harper's Latin dictionary, "one who fills his cheeks in speaking, a declaim- er, bawler," and also "one who stuffs out his cheeks in eating, a parasite."

Farabee, curator of the American section of the University of Pennsylvania and leader of the Ama zon expedition, which sailed from Philadelphia on March 19, 1913, and is still forcing Its way through hither to unexplored South Amertcan regions, has found both it and several differ ent tribes of Indians so isolated, so remote from the rest of the world that they are essential primitives living in their stone age and handing down from father to son in the way of all primitives, myths and legends that have an oddly familiar ring, says the New York Sun. These tribes live in the fastnesses of the mountains on the border line between British Guiana and Brazil, and their small settlements are about ten miles apart. When the expedition set out from Philadelphia in its own vessel it was most completely equipped for every exigency that might arise In the prose cution of its project. Later it was deemed inexpedient to travel with so much impedimenta and the load was lightened that the party might not be restricted to the water routes. Arriving at Para they proceeded by commercial craft up the Amazon, Its northern affluent, the Negro, and from the Negro into the Branco, arriving at Boa Vista on October 17, 1913. From thence they traveled Inde pendently by canoes or overland. The way became exceedingly difficult when they tried to get through the Urara- cuera river, as it wound further up the mountains, and the explorers turned back eastward on foot through British Guiana. Three New Tribe. On this trip Doctor Farabee discov ered three news tribes the Porocatos, the Ajamaras and the Zapacas who were primitive men never before vis ited by twentieth century whites. Like most of these primitive In dians, their bamboo houses are Im maculately clean and not - unat tractive, nor is a woman averse to posing In her home, as may be seen from the illustration. The return of this stage of the ex pedition was accomplished without mishap, and late in October they reached the southern outpost of Brit ish Guiana at Melville's ranch, where they sought the co-operation of the British magistrate, H. P. C. Melville, and his able associate, John Ogllvie. Doctor Farabee persuaded Mr. Ogll vie to Join the expedition in the ardu ous task it now proposed an invasion into the Tumac-Humac range of moun tains which divide Brazil from the Guianas and which up to that time never had been penetrated, As they advanced deeper into the wilderness they found tribes who knew nothing of white men or of civ ilization. These tribes the Pari- kutu, Wai-wal, Wal-me, Chikena, Katiawan, Toneyan, Diow, Kumayenas and Ukukwanas are simple people. They are like children, beautiful children, with a love for color and en joyment, and they are happy, as only children can be. They have no metals or gems of any sort. They hew vervthln they use ont of solid granite, and they have few utensils, The women of the tribe are rnagnin- Metric System. The fundamental unit of the metrlo system is the meter, the unit of length. It Is 39.37 Inches. The prefix mlUl means one thousandth, centi, one-hundredth, deel, one-tenth: deka, ten; hecto, one hundred; kilo, one thou sand Where miles are used In Eng land and the United States for meas uring distance the kilometer (1,000 meters) Is used in metric countries. The kilometer is about 6 furlongs. There are about 1.600 meters In a stat ute mile, 20 meters In a chain and 6 meters in a rod. The meter is used for dry goods, merchandise, engineer ing construction, building and other purposes where the yard and foot are used. The meter is about a tenth longer than the yard. The centimeter and millimeter are used Instead of the inch and Its tractions in machine con struction and similar work. The cen timeter, as its name shows, is the hundredth of a meter. It Is used In cabinet work, in expressing sites of papers, books and many cases where the inch ia used. The centimeter Is about two-fifths of an inch and the millimeter about one twenty fifth of an in iiiiiiiiiiii miii ii mil u llllllllllimniMFWWMMtMBMfc girls cent creatures, like shining bronze statues, with blue-black hair and won derful eyes, the men are splendid of body and keen of mind. They weave a kind of coarse native cloth, and into this they twine the feathers of the macaw and fashion for them selves most marvelous cloaks, aprons, headdresses, necklaces and wristlets In which greens, blues, golds and scar lets blend exquisitely and which they so model as to make tho wearer's per son thus adorned resemble the glori ously plumaged bird they have rav aged for material. When it is the season of loving and mating, their springtime, they adorn their bodies and dance the Maxixe! It is really the Maxixe, and It Is called by them the masheka, or peanut vine dance. This, which Is a rite among all Indian tribes In this corner of the globe, was picked up by some Brazil ians and taken down to Rio Janeiro, where its teachers developed It Into a crude and unlovely dance, largely sug gestive. Legends Sound Familiar. Legends of these tribes greatly re semble some Bible stories. In the be ginningso at least say the Wal-wal there were two gods, Tumlnkar and his brother Duwid. Tumlnkar It was who created men and women, and aft erward the animals. Duwid brought men and women food. But, having nothing to do, the first men and wom en amused their idleness by watching the animals. At length they noted that all these were In the habit of pass ing in one direction In the morning of each day, and returning toward the other In the evening. So they said: "Let us go with the animals and see where they go and what they do. They followed, and came with the animals to a great tree bearing on Its branches all kinds of fruits and vege tables. Thereupon they told Duwid next day that he need not bring them food any more, for they knew where to get it themselves. "It Bhall be as you wish," replied Duwid, "but henceforth you must work to obtain the food to eat. To morrow the tree will be cut down, but in order that you may not starve, I will tell you this: If you will break off a branch bearing each kind of fruit and plant this In the ground, water it carefully every day, tending and pro tecting it, it will grow and produce each seed after its kind. Thus you may continue to eat of the fruit ol the tree. But you wlh have to work for it.1 Following the instructions of Duwid the first men set about breaking oft branches from the great tree and planting them, selecting those which bore different kinds of fruit and vege tables. Presently, however, they grew tired of labor and stepped. Hence, when the tree was cut down only a few of the many varieties of food which it grew had been saved for mankind, and so there are today only a few species of edible plants in the world. If the first people bad been more Industrious these would have been found In greater plenty.

Original Forms of Life. It Is believed that the original forms ot life began In the ocean many million years ago, and at no time since has life there ceased. Many of the earliest forms sre now extinct; others have gradually Increased in number and variety from their beginning to the present time. How long ago life began no one has definitely determined; but It ia known to have been many mil lion years ago, for the remains of ex tinct animals and plants are found in the oldest sedimentary rocks. To Keep Well. A knowledge of the law of immunity teaches that when our health It at Its best our restraining power It at Its best Hence we tay ws are Immune to disease. While it Is wise and nec essary to avoid, control and destroy disease producing germs wherever found. It is very necessary to render the body as nearly Immune as possible and then keep It In that condition. CERTAIN REWARD OF VANITY Sturdy Fanner of Jefferaonlan Sim plicity Had No Difficulty In Rec ognizing Son's Picture. He was one of those stubborn young men who carry out their own ideas regardless of consequences, and when he left the farm to engage in the liv ery business in a nearby town, con trary to the wishes of his father, the first thing he did was to have a many-colored Blgn painted, represent ing himself holding a mule by the bridle. One day his father, a sturdy old farmer of the Jeffersonian simplicity type, came to town, and the Bon in showing him about the stable, proud ly pointed to the sign: "By the way. Isn't that a good like ness of me, dad?" he queried. "Ya-as," replied the old man, ad justing his spectacles.

I WIRELESS Successful Experiments Made by Signal Corps. Marked Increase In Efficiency Ob- tained by the Use of the Fliers Further Tests to Be Made Along Same Line. A series of remarkably successful and interesting experiments were con ducted by the United States signal corps at the recent maneuvering In Massachusetts In maintaining a wire less aerial by means of box kites and thereby Increasing the efficiency of as ordinary field wireless outfit from six to sixteen times. The tests were con ducted by Samuel F. Perkins, a mak er and flyer of man-lifting kites. Favorable strong and steady winds enabled Mr. Perkins to send up a string of kites to an altitude ot 1,600 feet Messages transmitted from tue set of field wireless attached to this kite-supported aerial were received 150 miles away with distinctness, al though the ordinary range ot the set was only 25 miles. One thing that aided materially in obtaining this re sult was the tact that the kites flew so steadily that the aerial was always maintained at a constant altitude. Quite as remarkable as the sending power of the wireless was Its receiv ing quality. Messages were received with distinctness from the battleship Georgia while off Newport and from the government station at Arlington, Va and Bermuda. These experiments were but the first of a long series that will be con ducted, and it is the belief of those who are Interested in the matter that they will lead to a system by which the range of the ordinary field wireless will be materially increased. United States government and Marconi offi cials are following the experiments closely. Scientific American. Wanted A Southerner.

She bad one twig from the tree on which there were 16 peaches, the combined weight of which was seven pounds. There was not another peach on the tree, but the one twig did nobly. Just a little distance from this tree there Is an other that Is sending forth Its second crop of peaches, and nearly all of the limbs now are full, the peaches being about the size of guinea eggs. On the Davis farm there also Is a second crop of blackberries growing. Indianapo lis News. Practicing Economy. When the conversation turned to the subject of economy this little Inci dent was related by Congressman Charles H.. Burke ot South Dakota Jenkins was sitting in front ot the firehouse In a suburban town when a fellow-commuter came along and un reeled a dissertation on the high cost of living. "Speaking of the high cost of liv ing," responded Jenkins, "everything it economy down our way now. My wife Is practicing It to beat the band, "You don't mean It I" exclaimed the other.

Once a short little woman and her tall husband went to a cafe of the cheaper sort for dinner. "Will you have oysters?" asked the husband, glancing over the bill ot fare. "Yes," said the little woman, as she tried in vain to touch her feet to the floor, "and, Henry, I want a hassock." Henry nodded, and as he handed his order to the waiter, said: "Yes, and bring the lady a hassock." "One hassock? asked the waiter, with what Henry thought more than ordinary interest, as he nodded in the affirmative. Still the waiter did not go but brushed the tablecloth with a towel and rearranged the articles on it several times, while his face got red. Then he came around to the hus band's side, and, speaking in a whis per, said: "Say, mister, I haven t been here long, and I'm not on to all these things.

Doctors have prescribed reslnol ointment for over twenty years, and thousands owe their clear, healthy skins to its use. It contains nothing that could injure or irritate the ten derest skin.
