Old age can be cured. The prescrip-

a hobby, shake well, and take as many
hours a day as possible. No one be-

first gray hair comes when a man
suddenly thinks to himself: "What's
the use?" Then is the time when a

Stretched Cane Seats.
When the cane seats of chairs have
become stretched, take a teaspoonful
of washing soda and dissolve in a
iprart of boiling water. Dip a cloth in
thig solution and wipe the underside
of the seats, leaving the chair turned
upside down to dry. This treatment
will shrink the cane to its original
size.
The Bully and Reason.
The bully depends on main strength,
A bullying nation is as disgusting as
a bullying man. A strong man, mor-
ally and physically, relies on his sense
of Justice, a strong nation has "a de-
cent respect to the opinions of man-
kind,'" and will be as sensitive of its
honor In keeping its word, as
an upright man In his dealings with
others. The bully will not reason.
pose is to reduce the cost of making
radium and to prevent the monopoly
which goes with the so-called secret
processes. The patents have been
asked for in the names of Richard B
Moore, in charge of the Denver labora-
tory, and Karl Kithil, his assistant.
With the great demand for radium In
the treatment of cancer, the bureau
of mines looks upon this invention as
another possible means of saving hu-
man life. It Is estimated that these
new methods will cut the cost of ra-
il trn fully one-half, and perhaps more.
They are to be for the use of any citi-
zen of the United States.

reau, Alfred C. Heggem, in charge of
oil investigations, has invented a new

of which indirectly In-

the saving from waste

each instance applica-
tion has been made for patent in order
to retain these devices for the use of
the people without the payment of roy-

concern from gaining a monopoly In
their manufacture.
Perhaps the most important of the
Inventions that are to be dedicated to

Cracow, Poland.—There are many
Poles in America who have not seen
the ancient capital of their country
for ten or even twenty years. They
can form no adequate idea of the
changes that have taken place within
that lapse of time, both on account
of national development of Galacia
and of the gravitation of all classes
of men toward this city, which may
truly be called the heart of Poland.
If anyone should chance to return on
a pilgrimage to Cracow, he wpuld not
be so much struck at the first glance.
That the railway station should be
completely rebuilt, vast and unrecog-
nizable, would not be of much im-
port. All the distinctive characteris-
tics and landmarks have been piously
preserved.
On alighting from the train he
would enter the "plantations"—that
great garden or park planted with
horse chestnuts all around the centra!
city In the place of the destroyed
walls and filled up moat—and seem-
ingly find nothing changed. The old
gray Florian gate would look down
upon him, and bo would the spires of
Our Lady's church, and the pinnacles
of the "Clothiers' Hall" (Sukletinlce),
Just as of old. True, where there were
no street railways or only a one-
horse affair he would now see as
many as five huge electric cars clang-
ing together, and if he came ln the
evening instead of the "darkness vis-
ible'' of a few gas lamps, he would
see the whole place lit up by more
than 30 electric sunB.
But the great changes are on the
outskirts of the town and beyond the
"plantations." In Karmelicka, Dluga,
Zwierzyniecka, where almost every
house was thatched and had but one
story, all have two, three or even four
stories. I went to the old convent
by the Vistula the other day; all
along the shores great embankments
are being swiftly raised, and a long
canal Joining Cracow with the Oder
and the Baltic sweeps down to the
Vistula from beyond the Blonie.
Where is the Rudawa? Where are
the yearly possibilities of inundation
all along Its course? Echo answers,
where? The picturesque fortifications,
the bank over which a local railway
used to sweep round the city, are now
destroyed and carted away; our forti-
fications are six miles out of town
and in their place houses are rising
rapidly.
The Karmierz (or ghetto) is per-
haps the least changed, but old houses
are swept away there, too, in great
numbers, only leaving certain parts

and antique shop fronts standing to

to arise. Greater Cracow we have
now, indeed, that the Podgorze lias

nothing, but merely remark—and all

3 ISLANDS ARE DESTROYED
Waves and Currents Ruin Tracts of
Land in Chesapeake Bay, Says
Washington Report
Washington, D C.—That certain is-
land:! and headlands In Chesapeake
bay are being destroyed at a startling
rale, not only by catastrophic force of
nature, but by the ordinary action of
waves and currants, is shown in a
report by the geological survey, the
most Interesting feature of which Is
the destruction of the three islands
at the mouth of the Choptank river
Of these. Sharps island, which a
generation ago was a summer resort
and a favorite hunting ground, be-
sides supporting a number of families
throughout the year, is deserted and
almost barren of life. Its 538 acres
of 1818 had dwindled to SI ln 1900, !
and at the time of the most recent
survey in 1910 the island contained 63
acres, its north shore having suf-
fered the phenomenal loss of 110 feet
a year since 1900 to 1910. The island
will be effaced by 1650, according
to the survey.
The other Blands—James and Ttleh
man—are disappearing rapidly. The ;
former decreased In size from 976
acres in 1848 to 590 ln 1910, while the
latter, which supports many prosper-
ous farmers and fishermen, was re-
duced from 2,015 acri
1,686 ln 1900, and is io
acres a year to the seas.

Korea Built Steel-Clad Warship
Over 300 Years Ago.
Seorge Kerman Tell* How Korean Con-
structed Battleships 250 Years Be-
fore the Monitor and Merrl-
mac Were Created.
Washington.—George Kennan, ex-
plorer and lecturer, recently communi-
cated to the National Geographic so-
ciety, at Washington, the information
that Korea built steel-clad battleships
250 years before the Monitor and Mer-
rimac were created. The Hermit king-
dom was using movable type anti as-
tronomical instruments from the
twelfth to the fifteenth centuries and
employing explosive bombs long be-
fore they were known ln Europe. He
points out that the famous Japanese
Sateuma pottery was made originally
by Korean workmen, w ho were import-
ed into the mikado's kingdom.
These facts are cited by Mr. Ken-
nan to show the terrific downfall ex-
perienced by Korea. He traces her
course from her pinnacle of civiliza-
tion to the depths of degeneracy and
expresses great hopes tor tier future,
under the guidance of Japan.
"While Korea was sinking, Japan
wae rising, until the island kingdom,
all by her own efforts, became such a
world power as to defeat a great Euro-
pean nation," he says. "The Koreans
were a mainland people. They had
taught the mediaeval Japs all the civil-
pirunt for honors. As a result, the
study of the sciences, mathematics and
the phenomena of nature was dropped;
the memory waB over-cultivated and
the reasoning power stultified. The
habits of the Koreans became unclean-
ly; they grew indifferent to dirt and
smells. ‘
"Japan, on the other hand, was
never invaded ln her history; her
blood was never intermingled and her
stock was allowed to remain pure. Her
national character was developed with-
out influence. The Shinto religion of
the empire has as its cardinal prin-
ciples purity of blood, spirit and en-
vironment. Japan was not exposed to
the Bcourgee and plagues that Korea’s
dirt and *fllth brought upon her. The
feudal system sprang up in Japan,
causing authority to be respected and
discipline to be developed.
"In 1910, Japan annexed Korea.
Prior to that time, as many deathB as
900 a day had occurred In the city of
Seoul alone; shortly afterwards not as
many people died from the plague In
the whole kingdom ln one year. Japan
forcibly vaccinated 5,400,000 people In
one year. One hundred and sixty-eight
courts were established, giving author-
ity to 13,000 gendarmes. Hundreds of
miles of roads are being built. Affor-
estation on an extensive scale is being
carried on. To encourage the silk

Influenced to establish demonology as
her religion, her blood was weakened
by being crossed with that of people
vastly beneath her and her spirit was

her by the more powerful invaders.
Jhe was under the influence of China,
which adopted the semi-sacred books
of Confucius as its national system of
aducation 2,000 years ago. The knowl-
edge of his works and the ability to re-
Ite long chapters of his writings were
year after the Japanese occupancy, the
rice crop was doubled, and the wheat
and barley crops grew from 14.000,000
to 26,000,000 bushels. The Japanese
have built a model village In every
province and are encouraging people
to build similar villages throughout
the kingdom."
Mr. Kennan points out that Korea
has the same geographical advantages
as a great portion of the eastern part
of the United States. "She is just as

Practically E *rything Depends on the
Engine, Declares Lincoln
Beachey.
New York.—Any properly built bi-
plane which haB a light, powerful en-
gine Is stable when in the air, provid-
ing it Is intelligently handled. The
chief reason 1 have been able to ac-
complish feats which other airmen
never have attempted is the fact that
J I have had a good machine and have
known how to fly It, Lincoln Beachey
writes ln Popular Mechanics.
Give me a clearance of 500 feet
from the ground, a place to land, and
then let things happen. If the aero-
plane upsets or slides, or the engine
dies, and the airman is not asleep,
it may he righted with comparative
ease.
The master of a good biplane should
feel as completely at home ln the air
as any bird that ever flew. In my re-
cent flights it has been demonstrated
that a man-made machine Is capable
of things which no bird ever attempt-
ed. How many persons ever saw a
bird try to loop the loop, do a back-
ward spiral or revolve like a top and
sail earthward tail down?
It Is true that my latest craft was
built for the specific purpose to
which it is being put. But for general
flying a good biplane of the same fun-
damental type should be equal In sta-
bility. It is only touching the extreme
to assert that with an engine ot suffi-
cient power an ulrman could fly a
piano box. By that 1 wish to Im-
press the statement that the air-
man of today has absolutely every-
thing he needs with which to tight the
laws of gravity. Because of this the
aeroplane already occupies the place
of a necessity, commercial and other-
wise, for the present and future day
man. It Is only a toss ahead to the
time when the aerial express will be
no more a novelty than overland lim-
ited trains are now.
