With big cigar, and cap of check,

Or chases one o'er tennis net;
Or swipes one white and email;
Or stpps one with a cricket bat
Hemay be one, I'm sure.
And yet this isn't quite enough;
There must be something more.
A sport is one who plays the game,
That vasterg anie of Life,
And never falters In his stride,
Nor bows ills head to strife•
Who plays for neither praise nor. prize,
But does his best in spite

Noith American Datum
In the highly technical work of the
geodetic measurement ot the North
American continent it is obvious that
one basis or system should be used 1n
'order to obtain the highest results in
00000105' . and efficiency. The three
countries involved, namely, Canada,
the United States, and Mexico, con-
forming to the calculations of Clarice,
the English mathematician, as to size
and shape of the earth, regard Meade's
Ranch, in Kansas; as the initial point
most fully approaching geodetic con-
ditions. Measurements are made in
the Dominion by the Geodetic Survey
of Canada, Department of the Interior,
linking up with those emanating from
that point, and the term North Ameri-
can Datum is used to designate this
condition of harmony in the scheme of
triangulation by which the continent is
measured.

Plant Poisons ' Discovered
To Be Deadly Insecticides
London.—The ancient art o! xioi -
dug fish poisons from certain plants
'ties been put to a new use in killing
}insect pests that destroy crops, F. N.
fliowes, British botanist, writes in a
e�eecent bulletin of the Royal Botanical
'Gardens at Kew, Heretofore one of
the main poisons for insects has been
rsenic, which is administered in the
orm of spray solution. Many pests,
ittowever, have developed an immunity
11Lnd'are able to swallow considerable
djtiantities of arsenic without any ap-
reeiable harm, according to this
utliority.
Investigators found that fish pois-
Ons made from plants were a highly
:efficient substitute. Dilutions of as
low as onepart in a million or more of
pr flier have been found to be fatal to
Insects on contact. Dorris, an Indian
group of plants, has been found to
be extremely useful.
The bulletin proposes to spray
plants with arsenic poison for a few
seasons, and then to substitute the
plant poison in order to offset the
immune strains that may evolve and
hill -them.
Most of the fish poisons that have
been found are of trepical origin, and
one of the most promising is the South
,American cube. These, with, derris,
belong to the g001e family, relatives
of clover.
These plants can be grown as fertll-
izor crops in rubber groves, thus ob-
taining two paying crops from the
saine land and enriching' the soil at
the same time.
Another ancient plant used as a
fish poisin is mullein, which grows in
America as well as Europe. It is, a
rank weed, and if it also proves to be
efficient as an insecticide its cultiva-
tion should be easy.

DeSitter means that the portion of

Sick -Room Rules
A sick -room should •lie airy and well
ventilated. It should be as large and
lofty as, possible and the windows
should open at the top. No article of
unnecessary furniture should be per-
mitted to remain in the room, and all
that is in it should be of a kind that
can be easily 'washed with soap and
water. •
Medicine glasses should be washed
in soapy water andtIlorough:y rinsed
after. each dose is administered. Many
medicines alter their properties, and
this alteration having been undergone
by the small portion' which is always
left in the glass may change the effi-
cacy of the dose from the corked bot-
tle and may even make it poisonous.
Keeping Salt Dry
In damp weather many housewives
find difficulty in preventing salt from
becoming
damp and listoPta
As soon as salt is received it should
be removed from its packet,, then
spread out thinly on a warm surface
and allowed to remain there. until per-
fectly dry. Pour into glass containers
—glass jam jars suit the purpose ad-
mirably—and cover securely. A metal
container should never be used for
storing salt.
Only a small quantity should he
kept in the salt:cellar, especially if it
is open. Salt quickly absorbs any
moisture that, may be in the. atmos-
phere. A few grains of rice in the
cellar will help to prevent the salt
frons becoming lumpy.
Menace in Gas Fumes
Carbon Monoxide Danger: Every
motorist should take the utmost pre-
caution. against this most insidious
gas, especially at this season of the
year. Cars should not be repaired in
closed garages while the motor is run-
ning, and at no time should a person
remain in a closed building while the
engine of a car Is turning. The gas is
odorless and cannot be seen. It first
overcomes its victims and thea kblls
them, No chances should be taken
with this, the worst enemy of the
motorist.—;sued by the Legal Dept.

Football As It Was
Played 400 Yrs,. Ago
Italy Puts in—a Claim to Have
Invented Winter Garne—
Which Florence Played
400 ,Years Ago
The recent highlyspectacular foot-
ball matches in South 'America, which
developed into miniature 'wars," show
once again that Soccer is the whole
word's Baine, and not just Britain's.
And now along comes Italy with the
claim that the city of Florence gave ue
the game originally, for they say that
football was a favorite pastime there!
four centuries ago. They called the
game "Giuoco del Calcia," and state!
that it was handed clown to them from!
the Romans ,and was thus introduced
to this country.
Other people though, think that foot-
ball was introduced into Italy by Eng-
lish trained bands fighting la Europe.
Nevertheless; the city of Florence
played football 400 years ago, under
the patronage of the Medici, rulers of
Florence, and of three Popes who
were themselves good players in their
youth,
A football match was always a most
important part of any.publie festivity
on great occasions: Much pomp and
ceremonial attended the games. These
special state occasion matches were
usually played in the main city square
with all the nobles and townsfolk pre-
sent in gala attire, Even the players
donned festive garments, silk and:
satin doublets and hose, and a close
skull cap—the forerunner of our crash
helmet.
The square pitch was divided into
two equal parts, with goalposts at each
end. The ball was a round leather
one like ours to -day. Though the
game was a species of Soccer, goals
were scored by kicking the ball over
the crossbar. as in Rugger, and not be-
tween the poste beneath:
They went in for mass games, too,
for the teams numbered twenty-seven
a side—fifteen forwards. nine half-
backs, two full-backs. and a goalkeep-
er.
After each goal scored the teams
changed Edea, but they did it with
more spectacle and ceremony than we
do. In these games the leading side
changed over with flags flying. and the
losers with flag lowered.
Another
rule which has a modern ri ig about
it was that two penalties rot,nted es
agues.
Still more antueing Is the deserip'
tion of the game by a writer of that I
day, who called it "noble and courtly, I
and not fit for the populace:
Football figures la Italian history in
the famous match during the suet of
Florence, 400 years ago. when the
young Hien of the city played a public
game as a gesture of courage and de-
fiance to the enemy.
How the Alphabet Was Made
••Influence of mouth gesture on tete
development of the Alphabet" was the
subject of an address by Sir Richard
Paget before the Anthropology Sec-
tion, reports the Daily Telegraphs.
"It was pointed out by Sir Richard
that, just as speech appeared to have
developed from pantomituie gesture,
owing to an uncouseious sympathy
between the movement of the human
hands and body with those of the hu-
man mouth and tongue. so the de-
velopments of alphabets appeared to
have been influenced by a corres-
ponding sympathy of movement be-
tween the human mouth and tongue
and the human hand.
"If the alphabets of different na-
tions were examined it was found
that in the letters standing for the
sounds of P, B, 111, and W, and also
those for the vowel sound U—in all
of which sounds the two lips are more
or less protruded and brought to-
gether—the sytubols are commonly
suggestive, either of a closed mouth,
or of two lips closed or projected, or
on the point of opening. Examples
given from our own alphabet by Sir
Richard were:—
"A, which was orginally written
lying on its side, suggests an open
month facing right.
"13 is the profile of two lips, point-
ing towards the right.
"E represents a mouth pointing to
the tight, with the tongue at mid -
height. as in pronouncing the sound
of e lit nen.
"I is an elevated tongue, as la the
sound ot ea in eat.
"L is another vertical tongue sign.
"111 represents _ two lips in profile,
pointing upwards.
"0 is a front view of a rounded
mouth.
"T is a vertical tongue, touching
the horizontal palate.
"U and V are both pairs of protrud-
ed lips,
R is a Pair lips, but
pointing down insteao£d of up.like
"Every letter of our alphabet, ex-
cept H and Q," said Sir Richard, "was
closely related to the shape of mouth
which produces it."—Public Opinion,
Auto Has Become Necessity
One would not call the automobile
a luxury, but a common-sense, thor-
oughly enjoyable necessity. Without
it the modern fancily would be far less
happy. It does inestimable good in
teleasing the fancily and the wage
earner from the confines of four walls,
by taking then; away from the mono-

helping to keep the fancily united.

Although these statements have but
a limited foundation, still, ou the oilier
hand, it will hardly be necwessary to
look very far to establish the fact that
animal life does not compare in
length with vegetable life. Organisms
more than four thousand years old,
such as the baobabs, or of only one

true that some eltellliehes reach the

While the drones live at most four to
five mouths, the age of the queen-beee
may reach five years. Still with the

It Is obvious that with such dieeimi-
larity in length of life the beginning
of old age also conies at different
times, we are reminded. Hence:
There appear in animate symptoms
of old age, but not always a complete
change of life, as with our domestic
animals. Many animals became mor-
ose and unsociable, withdraw sullenly
front their own kind- and lead the
eheerless life of a hermit. In old birds
one may notice a change to somber
coloring in the plumage. In reptiles,
which are known to change their garb
quite frequently during the year, this
change grows more difficult with in-
creasing age.
