WHY NOT TRUST A JUDGE?—
(DolrolJ NpwhI
A judge In a state court. «uy» ChM
Justice Wllllnm Howard Taft, gcuci
ally has little more power than a mod
erator at a ohurcU conference. Thai
Is to say, like a referee in n prize
fight, he can only see to it that the
contestants Obey the rules, lie can
tak' no part In forming the final re
suit. He can not bring the result <>i
his experience, or of his (Uninterested
ness, or judgment of the credibility «*f
witnesses to aid the jurors in reach
lng a sound conclusion as to the fads
He can only see to it that the contest,
ants-the opposing lawyers do not
vtolato too flagrantly traditional
amenities and conventions of the court
room.
That Is not true of British or ( ana
dian courts, or of federal courts ot
the United States, in those courts
the Judge can and does do all those
things, with (he result that justice i
swifter and suret. trials are shorlct
witnesses are held to relevant testi
mony, the general atmosphere of the
trial is kept clearer of verbal fog than
in state courts.
The slates, most of them, says
Judge Taft, have gone too far in their
zealousness to safeguard the accused
In the federul courts the juries are
the arbiters of facts, as in the state
courts, hut the judge may aid them in
weighing tho testimony, advise with
them, and, If the jurors agree with
him, he will bo of great aid In helping
them to a Just verdict.
Justice Taft is tight when he says
that, finally, the public must trust
someone in the court room, and if not
the Judge, whom shall it be?

Ventilation in Pyramid
Inside the great pyramid it Is eon
sldernbly cooler than the outside air.
It Is, however, excessively hot. Mr.
L. Dow Covington, who cleared out
one of the ventilator shafts leading
from the king's chamber, succeeded
thereby in permanently lowering the
temperature several degrees, and
there is an Arab tradition that If the
other shaft were also cleared out the

DON'T SHOUT!

An English golfer has been fined

Helium Solidified
The solidification of helium gas has
been one of the ambitions of I'rof
Kamerlinrli Ommes, who maintains a
large laboratory at The Hague. Many
unsuccessful attempts were made to
convert helium into n solid. Recent-
ly Professor Keessom of Leyden uni
varsity. who whs working In Ommes'
lnhoraiory, succeeded in such an ex
periment. By using very strong
pumps Keessom subjected the helium
to a pressure of 150 atmospheres aud
a temperature of 41i degrees abso
lute, when the gas solidified.

The Vikings
Bwedeu'* crown prime liu* paid trib-
ute to the Vikings nt Hie old stone
mill which Newport likes to believe Is
u landmark of the coming of l.elf
Ericsson. Even Ilorsford spent much
of ills lifetime trying to prove that the
Vikings canid ashore at Norutubegu, on
the ( Ionics river, say a the I'lilludel-
plil,i Ledger. The range of speculation
includes points as far north us Labra-
dor and us far south as Virginia, for
the location of that "Vineland" where
gropes were found. At any ruts', tliero

The Department of Agriculture,sal-
ways Interested in labor-saving de-
vices and tiiei hods of efficiency on the
farm and in the home, bus discovered
that ti housewife walks n quarter of
a mile when she bakes a lemon pie.
One obliging woman wore n pedome-
ter In tlie coarse of her travels while
compounding flic pastry. If It was
good pie, that does not seem too far
to walk for it; but If auggestlons for
snugger kitchen arrangements are fol-
lowed It could be reduced greatly. The
department estimates that a cook who
lias tier table, stove, sink and cup-
boards arranged In the best order
could save a mile uud a half on her
dally kitchen mileage. Outside of
large cities where kitchens are still
rooms, it is possible to tnke n tnorn

Wliile American spelling reformers
are working assiduously to extract
from about 80,000 English words su-
perfluous and unnecessary letters In
order to simplify and standardize
speech, the German Language society
has recently passed a resolution that
the place of certain English words
that gained currency In Germany shall
he taken by German words. "Sta-
dium," for Instance, has been changed
to T.eibesuebungsplatz," and instead
of "chauffeur,” which Is commonly
used in Germany, the German people
are asked to employ the word "Person-
enkrnftfnhrzenfuehf,er." There is this
to bo said for Hie change! it will not
lie necessary for anyone to refer to
the dictionary for n definition.
A music teacher In New York says
he Is entitled to a percentage of a pu
pH's earnings, says the,'Baltimore Sun
Following this precedent, why cannot
every teacher, even in the primary
grades of the public schools, demand
a part of every student’s Income after
lie goes to work? If there were no
teachers the earning power of citizens
would be very low. And If teachers
got paid on such a percentage basis,
how they would make their pupils
study.
Advocates of simplified spelling say
scornfully that because of various nr
bitrnry spellings for sounds used !u
the English language there are 013,075
ways In which the word "fonlhli"
might be spelled. Well, sometimes we
think, remarks the Philadelphia Itcc
ord, that the human race needs all of
them.

Nature's Balance

creatures in one generation Is very
unifli what It Is In another generation,
scientists tell us. A luytnan might n>k
