BUT ONE IN TEN SUCCEEDS
All Business Men Assume Risk Fail
ure of Mny Makes Successful
Ones Conspicuous In Community.
For some people it in a favorite
pnsttnie you may have notion! it here
In Sprinj-field s elKOvvhere to medi
tate on the success of others ami
point out the disparity In the situa
tions of the man who Is at the heail
of the successful Institution and those
mho are employed therein, and whoso
labor contributed In great measure to
wards developing: the successful enter
prise that it is
The prescribed formula on the part
-of critics is to my: "Uwk at Mr.
dank. He has achieved wealth and
directs a great business, while I, one
of the cogs in the machine, who with
others have performed the real work.
. and in fact earned the money, have
little if nothing to show for it."
la the long run nothing is gained
by concealment or telling part of the
truth. In the instance Just cited the
statement is only one-tenth true. Wny
-cannot the caviler and complalner be
candid and fair as he would have
others be with him? Why does he not
start in by making the statement,
proven by statistics and the records,
that fully 90 per cent nine out of
every ten, count 'em of the men who
engage in business enterprises fail to
achieve success. Do you get that?
Every man who embarks on a busi
ness venture does so with full knowl
edge that he stands one chance in ten
of winning. Isn't the tenth man who
does make a success entitled to some
-credit? Hasn't he developed a quality
that makes htni a community asset
rather than 6omebody to be made the
object of carping criticism and com
plaint. A man establishes, we will say. a
manufacturing plant employing 100
men. He assembles his men and lays
out the proposition thus: "We have
one chance to win and nine to lose.
Do you want to put your time and
labor into the pot on that basis? If
we win you vin proportionately; if we
fail, you lose your time and labor."
How many of the hundred would work
nil that basis? Very few. if any

I. ou Is XIV to a low ebb. From ir"0
to 1700 It led a precarlom but spec

defense guaranteed by the eipendl

French government, thoueh millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
officials and unhappy officers, whose
only ambition was to get rich and go
home.
The fortress was Imposing, despite
the thievery and mismanagement, and
It required a seven weeks' siege by
Colonel I'epperell and his New Kng
landers In 1745 to take It from the
French.
Py one of those diplomatic Incidents
too plentiful In the history of the new
world. Loulsbourg was handed back
to France In 1743 by the treaty of
Alx-Ia-Chapelle. The New Kngland

rising strategists as Amherst and
Wolfe taking part, again In Id slece
by land and sea, and In another cam
paign of seven weeks recaptured the
stronghold.
The days of the great fortress were
now numbered. The home of discon

death warrant In 1700 at the hand of
George II and Pitt In London. So
well was the warrant executed that

.Senator Seta Too Fat
Pace for Veteran Bore
a sen.'iror was entertaining ome
frletn- wuli stories about the Annum
desert, when a bore Joined the party.
I hl bore w as the kind of a chap
that always laughs in the wrong place
and spoils a story by trying to guess Its
climax. The senator undertook to
silence hi tit.
"Poor Ferguson!" he said. 'That
wus a close shave he had la the desert
last Augu.M."
"Sunstroke, of course," said the bore
"No. not exactly," wild the senator.
"You see. Ferguson stumbled acci
dentally on the Cauldron our famous
aprlng, you know, that gushes out of
the rock at freenlng point and Inline
.'lately begins to boll from the fierce
heat of the sun."
"Of course, of course," said the bore.
"And what happened to Ferguson? Ild
he fall In the cauldron and boll to
death? (let on with your story, man."
"Fergusou fell In," said the senator,
"but he managed to scramble nut
again. The peril, however, was not
yet over for him. Our Arizona air, you
see, la so dry that It absorbs moisture
with astonishing rapidity. Well, the
boiling water In Ferguson's clothes
evaporated so fast that the poor fel
low Instantly fror.e stiff."
"I see," sul J the bore. "He died of
cold. Well, that reminds me -
"No, he didn't die." said the senator.
He aliiMst died, but he hail a miracu
lous escape, fn his silfT frozen state.
you undcrstnnd, he begun to tdiiter
with chill, and he shivered so hard
that la a few moments lie hccnnie over
heated and wotiM have siH'ciiTiilieil to

Antarctle "Shelf Ice."
From the work of recent explora
tions. Sir iJoiiglas Maw son concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic Ice cup rests Is very Irregu
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, anil that Its thickness, which Is
very variable, may reach n maximum
of several thousand feet. I'nder the
thickest portions the at a Hi pressure at
the base may be as great as one ton
per Niiare Inch. L'niler such a cow-ring
there may be a considerable accu
mulation of ground heat, and It la as
sumed that the under portion of the Ice
mass Is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breaks up the Ice a! a
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
la substantially the coast Hue. Hut
elsewhere, as In the llreat Itoss barrier
and the Shacklctoii shelf, the supply
of Ice exceeds the rate of erosion at
the sea front, and the overflow from
the laud maintains a thick sheet of
"shelf Ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the Ice cap, at the
present rate of advance or Mowing out.
Is estimated to have left the (enter lo
the seventh century of our era.
Fireprooflng Concrete Columns.
We have been wont to look upon
concrete as capable of resisting a great
deal of heat, and It may seem strange
to think of coating It with a fireproof
material. However, there are condi
tions under which this Is necessary.
The bureau of standard has been In
vestigating the condition of concrete
which has passed through conrtagra
tlous. and has fiiimd that If the con
crete Is made with gravel, particularly
siliceous gravel, there Is a tendency j
for the stones to burst In extreme
heat, which disintegrates the concrete. j
Accordingly It Is recommended that
gravel be avoided wherever possible,
but If Impossible the gravel concrete
may be protected from extreme heat
by coating It with an Inch of cement
held In place by a wire mesh. Plasters
may also be used In which asbestos Is
the principal constituent. Scientific
