Farm life is no longer held superior to city life as a healthful environment, and it may well be that the virtues of citizenship can flourish as vigorously under the elevated tracks as around the little red schoolhouse. If the Chicago experiment succeeds in defining good citizenship and in demonstrating that such high ideals are fostered by urban life, it will have done a most commendable service...
...eyes could not descry, far out at sea, a passing vessel flying the red, white and blue stripes of the Pacific Mail?a great ensign, great when he was unknown, the ensign of the oldest shipping company in the U. S. He reflected that five big passenger boats now flying that banner were "President" boats leased from the Shipping Board.

The spectrum of visible light runs from deep violet, with a wavelength of 16 millionths of an inch, down to deep red, with waves 28 millionths of an inch long. On the "ultra" side of this spectrum, occur the ultraviolet rays with waves 1 millionth of an inch; then a range of little-known shorter vibrations; then the famed X-rays; then, shortest of all known rays, the gamma rays given off by radium. On the infra or long wave side...
