"When we - began using Postum it seemed- weak --that was because we did not make it according to di.- sections—but i-rections—but now we put a little bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full: 15 minutes, which gives it the pro- per ricer flavor and the deep brown color.

WHITE AGN7RCAL- UE!C-HALlP A -dS7A WA 8 14tanager is the Titanic t Fi 3 Still Afloat Br Charles M. Bie4. se iT' Denver, Col- The sinking of the, Titanic in mid ocean has given rise to many curi- oils speculations by the so-called esesitists, The question is asked in all seri- ousness: Is they Titanic still float- ing'? Will _ she, continue to float as long as the world spins? Another asks: Where is she now, ora the bottom of the sea just under' where she went down with her pre- cious load of human lives, or has she drifted and is she on. the, bot- tom at Some other place,'? There seems to be no unanimity, even among the wise ,scientific guys of the Smithsonian Institute in. their answers given to these, quer- ies. Some .say that 'sinking ass she did at an angle of about 50 degrees, she would zigzag to the bottom, first shooting one way and then an- other, and, to make it mysterious, they couch the problem in mathe- matical language, thus; "Her path would describe an are of a great circle, whose limit would be reach- ed at a point tangent to a line par- allel to the surface,' and so on through a whole lot more highs. brow stuff, Another seientjfio Mharp denies that she; lits at the bottom, and asserf.s that the gulf' stream and the Aretie euri•ont, both of which flow' there, Mie first above the other, would both .have something to say about the Titanic before she reach- ed the bottone, and that they would carry her no one knows where, but surely , a longdistance from where she went down. ' Man- think be- cause the ocean at that point is over two miles deep that the boat must be at least two miles to one. Side of the place where site disap- peered, Then, along conies auother scion t.ific sharp and says, All are wrong, no sueh thing possible; not even lead will sink to the bottom of wa- ter that deep. It will go down till the weight of the water exerts such an enormous pressure that it can- not sink further, and will there re - for ever suspended. So with the Titanic. It, too, is suspended at some point, doubtless, far from the bottom, there to re- main as long as the "world wags," or until the chemical action of the sea water has eaten her up. If these so-called scientists would employ a littlecommonsense, they would not make themselves appear so ridiculous as they have ,sueeeed- ed in doing. All these half -reasoned theories are based on the erroneous notion that the density of the water a mile or two down in the ocean depths is far greater than at the surface. They confuse density with pressure. There is no question but that the pressure is vastly increased as such enormous depths are reached. We can get some idea of this pres- sure when we . eonsider that at a depth of 100 feet by actual test the pressure exceeds 6,000 pounds to the square foot,' ' Divers wlio go down 150 feet or a little more (which is about the limit), find that the pressure has increased over 3,000 pounds more than at the 100 feet depth. Divers must be armored specially to resist the pressure if they de- scend more than 150 feet. It is estimated that the Pressure on the Titanic, reckoned upon the basis of increase aforesaid, as she lies un- der 2,000 fathoms of water, is over 750,000 pounds per square foot. It would seen to be a reasonable inference that under such pressures the density of the Water would be increased accordingly, but scien- tists have demonstrated by actual experiments that water is almost whollyincompressible, and for a long time it was thought to be ab- solutely so. Extremely delicate and accurate testing instruments have been used, and sea water to the depth of one mile has been measured and found to be only one one-huindred and thirtieth greater Than at the surface. Hence, for all practical purposes, it maybe con- cluded that a given body of water is not materially redueed in dimen- sion by . any known means of .pres- sure that may applied. Keeping these facts clearly in mind, there should be no difficulty in locating the, resting place of the Titanic. f As water is practically incompres- sible, its density or weight is not perceptibly greater at the two-mile level than it is at the surface, and hence its power of buoyancy is only slightly `,greater. It follows from this that any ob- ject' that could not float at the sur- face would have no chance to re- main suspended at any intermedi- ate ntermedi- atepoint, but must cirectlyto tha bottom. The increased pressure at the two-mile depth manifestly could not prevent the Titanic from reach- ing the bottom, because the pros - Miro is from all sides, and equal, dower -arch its wpJI as upwards, No doubt this enormously in- creased presFoire would instantly 5 crush .i any air-filled` chambers or other frail' pr compressible ;matter s as the hulk in the --eller, laird hence, � 0 1 t descended the displacemeint would become lessened and the • through the water would be corres- pondingly accelerated. Even the iron and the other me-, tall of which the Titanic was largely constructed are much mere com- pressible than water, and hence, it is idle to suppose that the Titanic in ,sinking swerved far from a per, pendicular• line. If the statement of some of these scientists were true, then the sounding of the ocean depths would be impossible.; but we- know that this has been successfully' accom- plished in water more than twice; the depth of that which overlays the Titanic; Very add and curious forms of deep sea life, dredged from the ocean bottoms, have been brought to the surfaeo by the Eng- lish ship "Challenger," and in. 1869 Prof, Risley gannounced his belief' that the elatinous substances found in theooze, of the beds of the deep seas, is a sheet of lining mat- ter extending around the globe.

Radium—most mysterious of the new mysteries in modern science—is so little familiar to unscientific men that the panic of the Oriental pot- entate described in a recent book by Mons, Xavier Paoli, a • Freneb detective, is easily understood. Once, while in Paris, the Shah of Pa ewrsiisah, t;olukzanof-fwarso-emd-edtihni,ng":oPf cPoi lessor Curie's discovery, :Monsieur Paoli made the necessary arrange- ments, Complete darkness is of course needed if radium in to reveal itself in all its brilliancy-, With endless trouble Paoli persuaded the monarch to descend into one of the hotel oilers that had been ar- ranged for the put'pose. But at length his majesty, with all his suite, proceeded to the un- derground apartment. Professor, Curie closed the door, switched off the electric light, and uncovered his specimen of radium-, Suddenly a shout of terror between the roar of a buil and the ,yell ofaman be- ing murdered rang out, and was; echoed by a hundred others. "Amicigeneral excitement and consternation, writes Monsieur Paoli, "we flung ourselves upon the eliglehctrts.ie switches, and turned en the "Then we beheld strange spec- tacle.

Human Organism Subject to Varia- tions in `reek's Tiinc. Not alone the weather, but cer- tain days of the week also exert fav- orable or unfavorable influences; upon the human organism. Such' 'are the, conclusions reached by Prof. W. Trabert, director of the Vienna Meteorological Institute, after collecting valuable data on the subject, That the weather affects the general condition of people has long been conceded, but Prof. Tra beet is the first to investigate the matter from the scientific stand paint. He induced a large number of" persons of different standing and occupations to furnish him with particulars of their daily state of health, noting particularly any changes or disturbances in their normal condition. 'Many school teachers have also been making in- vestigations along the same" lines among their pupils, cerefrlly elassi' Eying their general behavior and conduct. From the very interesting results thus obtained it is clear that other influences than the wea- ther affect the human organism. For it was found that persons are subject „to weekly periodical changes corresponding in almost the same measure or degree to wea- ther influence. With adults, for example, Saturdays and Sundays are "favorable" days, while on Tuesdays and Fridays many unfav- orable deviations from the normal: condition were observed. \Vith school children it was found that Itionda;y is the best day and Saturday the worst also that all afternoons' are `°iurfavo. able. I? hy,siologically repeaking, that day is found to be, bad when there is a deep atmospheric depression and the day is good when the barometer is ii.sinP,•.

The British shopkeeper on May 1 began a new experience in paternal government. The Shops Act of 1912 became operative on that day, and henceforth every employer included in its schedules vi -ill be compelled; under penalties to grant his em- ployes as weekly half -holiday and a definite period for their meals. Thousands of shop hands already have a half -holiday- through a vol- untary, mutual agreement with their employers. The new Act ex- tends this privilege by statute to thousands more who have hitherto been unaffected, Under the provisions of the Act most shops mast henceforth lie closed absolutely at 1,30 p,m., one *lay in the week, but exceptions in this respect are allowed in certain trades,eh saloons, restaur- ants, taur- ants, butchers and ether dealers in,. perishable goods, as we,il as tobac- conists, drug .stores and newspaper vendors, These trades must, nev- ertheless, arrange for every em- ploye to have the benefit of the Act indit-idual ly, There has been praetieallyF ne op- position to the general pirineiplec of the Act, but twvi days of its working has suflieed to show that the de- tails must be revised. The act is in- elastic, It inflicts inconvenience and even hardship in some eases, One of the chief difnoulties in con- nection with restaurants is a cem- pulsory <Irn minutes for the waiters' • meals which enures in the busiest period of the day. The waiters and waitresses also complain that the half holiday deprives them of a val- liable proportion of their tips, which in many cases constitute their sole earnings. The barbers are up against a similar difficulty at meat tinter,. +.1 eurious'situation has been ereated in email shops, where various class- es of goods are retailed. For in- stance, a drug store may :keel open always to sell medicines, but on t day:fixed for a half -holiday in iti town it must net, sell stented slap er other articles of this kind. So, too, a news dealer may sell news, papers and .magazines, but not sta- tionery on the, half -holiday. The big depatrttnent stores are not affected in this matter, as they already by custom close; all branch- es of dicer business for a half day. Another anomaly of the Act is that it does not embrace wholesale warehouses, and accountants and For 1911-1912 the, total estimated number of men in the German Navy exceeds 60,000.
