"Teacher, can't we go home?" sev-

"No one must go out in the storm
alone. I have been hoping that your•
fathers would come after you, but I.

"I don't see why Pete doesn't come,

Vogel, "He's always here before

The storm shook the lonely little
schoolhouse on the prairie and would
have swept it from the foundation
if it had not been firmly anchored by
long iron rods. The loose windows
rattled as the driving snow piled
high outside and sifted through the
cracks, forming miniature mountain
ranges on the floor.
As the teacher turned away from
the window for the tenth time, the
pupils saw a troubled look in his blue
eyes, and noted that his reassuring; ,

A Virtue May )3eaume a Vice.
We have been accustomed to think-
ing of virtue as being a precious pos-

—is intemperanee as truly as any
form of overdoing. Perhaps the fact
is born in on me just now because
I've r eent1y hada great deal to do
with one or two persons who pride
themselves. on certain virtues which
to their friends. are their chief faults.
And, of course, no one can make
them see their mistake. They know
that the thing they pride themselves
upon is in itself a virtue, and ran not

One is a woman who prides herself
on plain speaking. She says she sim-

of course, truth in itself is a virtue
and one greatly to be desired. But
one can go to excess even with the
truth( I rmember it used to puzzle
me as a child to get my mother's fine
distinction. She would sometimes tell
us that we must always speak the
truth, and then knock the ` whole
thing over, for me at least, by say-
ing the truth should not be spoken at
all times. It was sometime before
I found out that she meant it is often
better to keep still than to speak the
truth. If telling the truth is only

How Helium is Attained.
Chemists, a few years ago, discover-
ed that they could get helium in a
pure state by heating monazite—the
stuff–that yields thorium, out o£ which
incandescent gas mantels are made.
But the war has driven invention on
at a great pace; and ofteu accident
helps invention—as, for instance,
when some folks in Texas complained
that their natural gas, though ade-
quate in supply, did not burn well.
Government experts, asked for ad-
vice, found that the reason it did not
burn well was '(as analysis disclosed)
that it contained 2 per cent, or more
of helium.
Helium won't burn. Why. then, not
use it for balloons?
Eureka. In a moment the long -puz-
zling problem—that of finding a non-
inflammable gas for filling balloons—
was solved. Practical experiments
proved the solution satisfactory and
complete.
To separate the helium from natural
gas was not very def lcelt. All that
was needed was to chill the gas to a
temperature where all the rest of the
stuff was.frozen. The helium, being
the last to freeze, was thereby sep-
arated out.
Atmospheric air is a gas (or a mix-
ture of gases) only because of tem-
perature. Make it cold enough, and
it becomes a solid, resembling clear'
glass. Any gas will become a liquid
and then a solid if the thermometer
descends sufficiently far.
Half the Cost of Electric Light,
Helium becomes a liquid at 518 de-
grees below the zero of Fahrenheit—
that is to say, less than six degrees
above the "absolute zero" that is no
temperature at all, and at which
everything in nature becomes solid.

It is interesting in this connection
to consider that helium has before it
a much more important prospect than
that of oiling balloons. It may fur-

brilliant, mare beautiful and much
cheaper light than any now in uso.
if a glass tube he filled with helium

brilliantly luminous with a light of

Suggestion is made that it might be
effectively employed by running a
