Got Out First Newspaper in London.May 23 was the 209th anniversary of the birth of English journalism.The first English newspaper was founded in London by Nathaniel Butter May 28, 1622, There previously had been from time to time efforts toward the sale and distribution of news, The Tohing-pao, à paper of the Chinese court, enjoyed a continuous issue from the year 713 to 1900, when it ceased publication and gave its name to a successor published in Peking today.Ancent Rome had its newspaper, the Acta Diurna.It was the organ of the capital, containing military reports, political comment and the latest sport \u201cdope\u201d concerning lions and Christians.Parents of young Romans used to hide the paper from their sons, who, strange to say, preferred to look at the feminine sandal ads rather than vi the actual article always on display along the Appian Sporting editions were eagerly bought by business men in the Forum.A record sale was reported the day Rome's pet gladiator, Bambinus Ruth- icus swatted a full-grown tiger over the bleachers out the Coliseum.Finally, the paper with the rest of the Eternal city fell into the hands of the German invaders and soon after ceased to exist.There were no papers during the years that followed, but toward the close of the Middle ages there cane into circulation what were known ns continental news letters.These letters were unauthentic reports with no fixed date of publication, to which the early correspondents contributed stories of the Crusades, the discovery of America, or the latest anti-Semitic movements in Austria.The accounts were always highly colored and the facts distorted.The publications were never sold They were read in taverns on the payment of a fixed sum.The writers were not held responsible and the news was little better than gossip.From this source which had found its way into England came Nathaniel Butter's weekly.Butter\u2019s paper was called the Weekly Newes, and to him goes the distine- tion of \u201cprinting all the news of the day upon a single sheet and publishing it regularly week by week upon fixed days and of giving it a distinctive title at a time when there was nothing that could with strictness be called a newspaper.\u201d It was formerly stated and for a long time believed that the first English newspaper made its appearance in the year 1588, The London museum contained copies of the old Mercury publications bearing the date 1588, but not long ago students at Cambridge discovered that these papers were forged copies, according to the Columbia Missourian.The type of printing employed in producing these papers was not Invented until many years after that date.In fact, it was nearly two hundred years later.No less a person than King Charles I used the columns of Butter\u2019s paper.He was probably the first of that vast army of persons who seek lost dogs through the pages of the public prints.An old copy of the paper contains an advertisement for a strayed spaniel very dear to hig majesty.A reward is offered.Butter introduced the editorial \u201cwe\u201d into the newspaper for the first time.He also employed \u201cnewsboys,\u201d who were women, to hawk the paper on the street.These news vendors were frequently interfered with by persons who sold the news booklets or pamphlets that came into use toward the cloge of the Sixteenth century.In his early days Butter was considered wealthy, but through misfortune he lost his possessions.He was & member of the Royalist party in England.He died on one of Prince Rupert\u2019s ships in 1049, An Eskimo Opera.Copenhagen opera goers recently have witnessed the production of an Eskimo opera, \u201cKaddars.\u201d Hakon Boerresen, the composer, has based his score on the few vestiges of ancient song which the Greenlanders posses, A group of Eskimo traveled to Denmark to assist in preparing the stage pictures.and to appear in minor roles.They carried with them a large collection of native costumes.Mention of an opera with Greenland's icy mountains as background naturally connotes India as a scene for stage entertainment.One would nêt he greatly surprised to learn that the next Drury Lane melodrama is to have Tibet for scene, now that the Mount Everest expedition is so much In the public eye, Conscienceless Turks.Recently at a fancy hall in

knew nothing of mechanical science, nor had he ever heard of acoustics.He was simply a common svorkman who understood the selection of fiddle wood and the mixing of fiddle varnish.He needed mo other education or knowledge to make him the.world\u2019s unrivaled luthelr.And, above all things, let us not forget that the greatest violinist of all times\u2014Paga- nini\u2014was notoriously illiterate and unschooled.The simple arithmetic of the primary classes was a sealed book to him.He had no education of any kind, yet he mastered the fiddle and bow as has no other human before or after him, Huberman, the Polish violinist, played the Brahms concerto when barely 12 years old with a mastery and intellectual grasp that was astounding.The austere Brahms himself was dumfounded and delighted with the maturity of the performance.Vecsey, the Hungarian, at the same age gained, with his playing of the Beethoven concerto and the Bach sonatas, the admiration and friendship of the serious Joachim.Heifetz, the Russian wonder, also created a sensation at the same age with his sound musicianship and extraordinary virtuosity.None of these boys had any schooling or education worth speaking of.Formation of Mountains.The physical chemist, by spending La few days in his laboratory has been able to duplicate nature's thousands of years of mountain building.Over 150,000 pounds per square Inch pressure has been applied to rocks and minerals by Dr.L.H.Adams of the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institute in Washington, and he has found out how they act when squeezed so hard.\u201cUsing the resuits of these experiments and the data which the geologist obtains in the fleld, we can explain how mountains were made,\u201d declares Doctor Adams.\u201cGeology,\u201d he explains, \u201cIs largely the study of the warping, folding and deformation of the rock tnasses which make up the crust of the earth.\u201d His work is even more exact than that of nature, because when he imitates her high pressures he has the great advantage that he can accurately measure and cop- trol them.\u201d Explaining Thunder-Clouds.The thundercloud is a vast eleetrl- cal generator of very short life, This cloud has great vertical thickness, and it may have a base 3,000 or 4,000 feet high, with a summit 20,000 feet high, according to a late Royal Institution lecture by C.T.R.Wilson, It is from the energy of the great uprush of air In this cloud that the electrical energy ls derived.The existence of the up- rush is demonstrated by the size of the upheld hallstones, which are said to be sometimes as large as a man's | head! In some way\u2014just how Is be- | Ing debated\u2014there is a vertical sep- | aration of the positive and negative electricity, one kind belng carried upward, and the other going down.Whether this Is an effect of the air current or a result of electrical disturbance previously created fs the question.The cloud ls between two conductors, the earth belng one.An atmospheric layer about 23 miles Ligh is supposed to be a fair conductor, and with the surface of the ground this forms an imperfectly Insulated condenser, Shows Power of Sentiment.Even military necessity bows before sentiment.This was exemplified here receatly when a military road under construction back of Schoefield barracks, twenty-five miles from Honolulu, took a detour to avoid an ancient Hawaiian landmark, saya a Honolulu correspondent.The rond was being constructed through Kolekole pass of the Walanae range when It came to an ancient Hawalian sacrificial stone which balances on the nlmost knife-llke edge of the pass.The stone was in the way of the engineers, but, under orders from Maj, Gen, Charles G.Morton, in command of the Hawaflan department of the army, the route was altered to pass the aacrifielal rock and leave the re minder of ancient days Intact, A Mixed Debt.According to statistics of the Swiss federal government, soviet Russia owes that country 466,000,000 rubles, 120,000000 Swiss francs, 6,000,000 Fren-h france, £4,500,000, 3,000,000 mirke, together with varying leeser {nmounts.In other words, ns we got it, the soviet owes Nwitzerhimd some thing in every known fungunge.\u2014~Phil.ndelphia [ngquiver, RAISE OWN EOD Writer Telle of Agricultural Ants in Central America.Have Really Comprehensive System of \u201cGardening\u201d as Wel as Knowledge of Other Trades.The dark forests of Central America shelter a remarkable tribe of agricultural ants, if we are to credit the testimony of competent investigators, These ure foresters, road makers, wood choppers and gardeners, and it is sald they actually plant and raise all their own food.The traveler in these forests is surprised to see many great trees half stripped of their foliage, and whole tracts of smaller ones left completely bare, says a writer in the Christian Science Monitor.Everywhere, too, he sees little well- beaten paths leading in and out, from the open country to the center of the forest, and these are covered with busy workers.They run to and fro, some heavy laden with bits of leaf they have torn from the trees, others empty- handed on thelr way to market.These ants, as a rule, bulld their nests on the outer edge of the forest, often under some big tree, The roads are kept in perfect repair by corps of workers \u2018detailed for the purpose\u2014 trained civil engineers and road menders, one supposes, who can do their work intelligently and well, One can see them plcking up stray bits of debris, or earth, clearing the track of everything that might hinder the bus; gardeners in their work, : What becomes of all of the green stuff they collect?All the ants in that part of the world could not consume such piles of leaves, The little ants are gardeners, and the leaves are used in their mushroom.beds.In the first place, they work the green-leaf substance over into little brown balls that eventually become a soft, spongy mass, grown over with fungus germs.On close exam- Inatlon, one can see tiny white knobs, the swollen ends of halrlike filaments.These are the mushrooms on which the farming ant lives.An enthusiastic student has made some interesting experiments with the ants and their garden-truck.He placed a few ants in a glass dish half-filled with the sort of rose-leaves of which they were fond.They made tunnels in the sand, but left the leaves untouched.He repeated the experiment, but placed some of the little \u201cant cabbages\u201d on one of the leaves, and with his forceps lifted one of the imprisoned ants upon Ît.The little insect at once rushed off with the news of food to its comrades, and all came hurrying up to taste.lish some of the loose ant food found in their nests.It was curious and delightful to watch the busy creatures as they began at once to put it into order, arrange it in careful piles, and continue the cultivation of the tiny mushrooms.Another scientist found on an abandoned ant-mound a large mushroom that had evidently been left to grow up from some spores of ant food left in the nest.It was of a handsome specles; the cap was reddish purple and dotted over with small scales, the gills were white, and the spores of a yellowish color.He planted some of the spores, and they grew thriftily, thus proving that the ants really raise true mushrooms, and can be sald to follow the occupation of kitchen-gar- dening.Destroyers Supreme.\u201cWe knew whenever a submarine left a German port, and we kept track of it day by day until it returned home,\u201d says Admiral William S.Sims, In the World's Work, \u201cNo U- boat ever made a voyage across the Atlantic without our knowledge.The submarine was a slow traveler, and required a minimum of 30 days for such a trip; normally the time would be much longer, for a submarine on this long voyage seldom crulses at more than five knots.Our destroyers and anti-submarine craft were much faster, and could easily cross the Atlantic in ten days.It is, therefore, apparent that a flotilla of destroyers stationed in European waters could protect the American coast from submarines almost as successfully as if It were stationed at Hampton Roads or Newport.\u201d A Better Show.A \u201cmilitant,\u201d as the really virulent type of advanced woman is called, said to Governor Miller at a charity ball in Albany: \u201cYou men! We'll take your special privileges from you yet.We'll oust you from politics, the arts and everything else.\u201d Governor Miller smiled before the militant\u2019s ire.Then he nodded toward a group of pretty girls in backless and sleeveless gowns, short skirts and nll the other extruvagances of the 1921 mode, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t know,* he said.\u201cAs I look around, it seems to me that the Indies are giving man a better show than he ever had before.\u201d New Wheat Storage Plan.An old suggestion comes from England as to conserving wheat.It la proposed to crush or rough grind wheat, then soften with superheated steam and compress in hard blocks and store until wanted, wien a aim- ple crushing process would fit lt for | flour nianu\u2018ecture \u2014Sclentifie Ameri- tan.The experimenter then put into the FINE FOOD AT CHINESE INN Delicious, Abundant and Wholesome and at Prices That Are De : scribed as \u201cRidiculous.\u201d Your mouth will water !f you read the following delectable description of palatable foud.We take it from an article by Mr.William A.Anderson in Truvel in which he describes the cooking he found at an Inn in the Chinese province of Chihli, says the Youth\u2019s Companion.In the chow roum, he says, werè several huge clay stoves like coffee percolators, except that the dry stalks that are used for fuel are where you'd expect the boiling coffee to be; the basin-shaped receptable on top tightly confines the flames, which play about it.In the bottom of the receptacle, which has a wooden cover, Is a little water.Anything from egg omelet to sharks\u2019 fins can be stewed, baked or brolled in the basin, .Personally, 1 very much like many of the steaming messes \u2014 broiled squubs; vegetable soups, thick and Various; broiled duck, soaked in rich brown sauces and so tender that the flesh almost drops from the bones at a touch; fried fish, as crisp as pastry on the outside, and as clear and stnooth as a fresh mushroom within; crisp chips wf mutton boiled in lard; crackling shrimps by the bucketful; unleavened greasy bread fried like buttered toast\u2014an endless variety, in fact, of every conceivable sort of food.fresh, rich and wholesome, The fish you order are taken flapping from buckets of fresh or salt water; the fowl flutter, cackling or cooing, about the yard; the meat and the vegetables are brought in alive and fresh by the farmers; the eggs are.taken warm from the mangers; the bread is made from whole wheat grown within a mile of the table and ground by hand inside the yard; the dates in the rich yellow cake are plueked from the trees that overhang the village lanes; the bean curds are pressed within the chow room itself.Everything is served piping hot, and the prices are utterly ridiculous.There are no tables such as, foreigners use; the eaters prefer the low Chinese tables heside which they sit on the kangs.Strings of leeks, peppers, garfle and lichens are suspended from the smoke-stalned rafters as In the country inns of Spain and Italy.Wine made from rice or the juicy stalk of the kaollang is stored in huge clay- lined baskets sealed at the top.It is served hot in thimble-sized cups, for it is as potent as vodka.But no one becomes intoxicated.Psychology of Kissing.Dr.Charles E.Baker, the psychologist, is shumefully confusing the romantic issue.He says that after a man has kissed a girl he doesn\u2019t want her.*Withhold thy kisses, fair malid- en,\u201d says this cruel sage, \u201cmore girls have been robbed of future husbands by the good-night kiss than for any vther reason.\u201d \u201cBut how, oh, Low does the dear chap know?Were they the spinsters who confided in him, or the kiss- snatching bachelors?And is it the kiss itself or the impression that the lady is too free with them that wrecks the prospect?On the score of decorum and exclusiveness the sage may be right in demeaning the value of the pre-mar- ital kiss, but it isn't good logic.Most of the {irrevocable spinsters I know were brought up on that coy theory and are apt to blame their spinsterhood upon it.What the gentleman really means is that some other girl's frisky good-night kiss robbed those spinsters of thelr swalns, But, of course, the other girl was probably careful to imply that this was her very first offense, It is much more likely that it is when he surprises hee in

about 30 degrees, nnd the elevation to about G0 degrees.In later models the light beam could be raised to a completely vertical direction.Originally this was done by à system of link motions, says l\u2019opular Mechanies Magazine, but this has now heen superseded by a method of transmitting the motions electrical- Iv.In this apparatus, the projector ftself does not move, but the heam of light

Warm, Sunshiny Home in Which the Sows Can Bear Their Little Pigs\u2014Hog ls Cleanly if Given Chance.By WILLIAM A.RADFORD.Mr.Willam A.Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper.On account of hie wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects.Address all inquiries to Willlam A.Rad- ford, No.1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, IL, and only inclose two-cent stamb for reply.During the last year farmers in the corn belt states have discovered that they get a great deal better price for their corn when they market it \u201con the hoof,\u201d In other words, they turn their corn into pork and market the hogs, .: Ralsing hogs so that they pay a profit for the food they consume and the labor of bringing them to marketable size is not a haphazard business, Experience of successful hog raisers has shown that there are a number of rules that must be followed 1f the lustration.Thie is a frame bulldinyg 14 feet wide and 4) feet long, and con tains four farrowing pens and roma for the feed the nnltuals consume, The building is well cunstructed of good materials to muke it weuthertizhe, It is set on u concrete foundution and las a concrete floor.Along one wal! runs a féeding alley, while doors ut the floor line permit the hogs to leave their pens when weather conditions ure right.The building is set eust and west, with windows fucing the south.This gives the late winter and early spring sun a chance to give the interior of the house the benefit of its warmth, As the weather gets warmer and the pigs are allowed to run out doors the windows muy be opened for better ventilation.* To be healthy young pigs must not be subjected to draft, neither must they be chilled.Plenty of Ledding placed on a plank floor thut is raised slightly from the concrete floor helps to keep them warm and dry.Con- trury to the general opinion among those who do not know better, a hog is u cleanly animal, and will keep himself clean If the conditions are such that he can.The plank floor covers only about two-thirds of the pen, and the hogs themselves will keep the bedding placed on it clean.Two litters a year are natural with sows, But if the young pigs are to be brought to maturity at the right time, they must be born in late February or March and in September, or the early part of October.Spring pigs are hard to raise unless they have such a home as here described.Outside the hog house on the south side is a concrete feeding floor, where the pigs are allowed to run outside, when they are fed.This feeding floor business is to be profitable.One of these is that the sows need a clean, warm, sunshiny house in which to bear and rear their little pigs.Practically every farmer raises hogs \u2014some more and some less.The average general farmer, however, does not devote a great part of his energles to bog raising.He keeps three or four sows, which produce 20 to 30 pigs.A good house for farmers of this type is shown In the accompanying il- 18 nothing more than concrete laid on the ground, which has been leveled.To prevent heaving by frost it should be constructed In squares, with an expansion strip between, much after the manner of a cement sidewalk, although it Is not necessary to use us good ma terials.A feeding floor insures that the animals Get ull the feed that Is given them, and that none will be lost in the dirt as when the feeding !s done on the ground, HAD IT ALL PLANNED OUT Second Colored Man Had No Doubt at Ali as to Just What He Was Going to Do.Mr.Herbert Hoover, the secretary of commerce, soon after he came to office had a long discussion with a man who had held the same job years before.They went particularly into the problems of government reorganization, pulled the subject back and forth for hours.When the conference wns over the visitor said to Mr.Hoover: \u201cI must say that we seem to be in a good deal the same position of two negro soldiers, who, after the signing of the armistice, were talking about what they would do when they got back home.\u201cOne sald he was going to get himself a long-tailed coat, a high hat, patent leather shoes, spats 'n everything, and he was golng down to Georgia and show the white folks that he was as good as they were, \u201cThe second soldier said he\u2019 was go- Ing to get all them fine clothes just 1ike his friend and that he, too, was going back to the Southland, \u201c\u2018An\u2019 what yo' \u2018gone do when yo get home?asked the first trooper.\u201cpg goln\u2019 to you\u2019 funeral,\u201d was the response.\u201d\u2014Philadelphia Public Ledger.New Self-Winding Cloek.Wireless Impulses sent from the Washington observatory station are now correcting the time of a self- winding electric clock at a point In New Jersey.As described in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, this clock 1s equipped with a sensitive radio selecting, recelving, and relaying apparatus, by means of which it takes the impulse from the air and is adjusted thereby.At one minute of 12, noon, the clock automatically closes a switch by which the radio apparatus ia thrown nto operation, It is tuned to receive only that time signal which Is sent out at noon by the observatory.After the clock has been set hy n message, the same switch 18 automatically opened.In the event that no message is received.the switch opens anyway at thirty seconds after 12 and will not close again until the following day at one minute hefore noon.Thus the clock by its own actlon regulates the wireless device through which it receives correction.Adds to Efficiency.Industrial chemistry gains a new element of efliclency through the development of an electrical system of automatic testing and control, by which any change in the proper action of the process, as it proceeds, is not only reported, but is corrected as well.Thus the strength of a solution, its acidity, gaseous content, or other char- acteristie, may be recorded continuously on a distant chart, while electrically operated valves work automatically to offset immediately any shortage or surplus of a constituent part of the mixture, The system provides meuns for compensating against changes of temperature, pressure or time of reaction, and even the problem introduced by different mixtures having the same electrical resistance, has been solved.\u2014Popular Mechanics Magazine.Odd Fellows, Certainly.A few nights ago a large delegation from New Albany Hope Lodge of Odd Fellows went to Jeffersonville to confer the work for Tabor Lodge of Jeffersonville.They alighted iat the interurban station, and r rching two abreast.turned In Spring

Beasts Most Dangerous Business.Those Who Engage in It Literally Gamble With Death, and Their Reward Is Never Sure.How are the wild animals obtained which make up the menagerie of a large circus?No business is quite so risky as that of trapping them.Most of the wild animals come from Africa.These beasts must be trapped along the Zambesl, which means 2,000 miles of toilsome journey before even & start is inude.The man in charge of an expedition must be experienced und resourceful ; must know the country, the languages and dialects, and be something of a physician us well.Fearful risks are taken, especially with fever.Native carriers by the score are employed.Each porter is required to carry 60 pounds and the charge merely on such a loud from the coast up to the great lakes is from two to three shillings a pound.Provisions in large quantities must be carried, also a large amount of beads, cloth and trinkets with which to ca- Jole the natives for fresh supplies and information.Lions are taken in a great net, some 18 feet square and rimmed by a very powerful rubber elastic band.It is set over a pit near a water hole, and when caught the llon Is transported in a bamboo case.The tyro who captured or trapped a \u201crhino\u201d in a pit in the heart of Africa would be equally puzzled as to how to get him to the coast.An inclined plane must be dug and the creature, half-tamed by fright and hunger, must be securely shackled with chains und ropes and led through tangled forests and over sands and stony plains for hundreds of miles at great risk to the lives of all concerned.The hunted rhinoceros is the very epitome of fight and gameness, but after capture gives up quickly and dies if not properly cared for and fed.The two most difficult creatures to trap und bring to the coust are the giraffe and zebra.The latter can only be caught in high and barren hills and with the utmost difficulty.Once caught, the zebra becomes a tough proposition, doing most of his think- Ing with his heels.The giraffe is ultra shy and his transport after capture a serious matter.He stands so high and his legs are so like a pipe stem his safe conveyance is something of a feat.This animal is considerable of a baby ns regards tenderness, and has a heartbreaking way of shuffling off his mortal coil after a circus has made a during investment in one or more of them.The rarity of giraffes in circuses and munleipal zoos is due not alone to the original high cost, but also to the fuct that the animal dealers abroad will not guarantee safe delivery in this country, The Indian tupir perhaps attracts but little attention at the circus and yet is a must expensive animal.The gorillla is practically priceless.There have heen but four ever brought to this country.Chimpanzees are relatively plentiful at circuses and zoos, but they ure prone to tubercular trouble and are hard to keep, Lions for zoological purposes cost from S40 to $600, Tigers, jungle- bred, will bring even higher figures.Elephants, or \u201cbulls,\u201d as the circus folk term them, cannot be bought wneh under $2,500 in the rough, and as they are trained to do \u201cstunts\u201d their value to the owner rapldly increases, Their disposition, too, en bances their value or otherwise.Asi- utic elephants are more expensive than the African type, being better natured and more intelligent, as a rule, Hyenas are inexpensive.Cum- els of the Siberian breed cost from $300 to £000, The Polar bear is expensive and hard to keep, as is the Kudinek bear of Alaska.\u2014Balthmore American, Frankincense, Most of the genuine frankincense produced in the world today comes from trees growing in Somaliland, in eastern Africa.When the resin is ready for the harvest\u2014shortly after the begining of the rainy season which makes an abundance of sap In the srees\u2014natives gash the nark of each tree in a number of places, taking care to loosen the bark at the hottoie of each cut sufficiently to form a little pocket, The sap oozes out and gradually collects in the puckets.It hardens slowly In contact with the air.Within about a month it becomes hard enough to be handled.Then the little pellets of guu\u2014called \u201ctears\u201d\u2014are eut out of the pockets and new incisions are made in the bark.This process Is repeated at 30-day Intervals uutil the end of the harvesting season in September.The pellets or \u201ctears\u201d are marketed as soon as they are fully hardened.A vigprass tree will produce about 16 potsids of frankincense yearly,

Shocked Dignified Butier on Duty at the White House.One of the most imposing butlers now in captivity south of Boston or New York buttles at the White House.He haus been on the job for a long time, and nobody of his ruce in- the world could wear his uniforms of blue and gold with more distinction or hauteur, He would take a fut part, to speak in stage parlance, against any kind of emperor, and a whole flock of princes would be ple for him in any competition for the Himellght.He is over six feet tall, and dignity is his middle name.Life, at least while he is on duty, Is a terrible serious affair for him, and the smlle he gives those he knows is not one that means anything more than welcome.The wives of two senators called at the White House not long since.As they left, after leaving their cards, as is the custom at thes, one of them turned and thought she saw the President himself beliind the curtain of a near-by window.She had known President Harding when he was in the senate and didn't believe very much in dignity and the putting-on of dog and such things.\u201cWhy,\u201d she said, \u201cthere's Warry now.\u201d The butler overheard.He gasped.The senator's wife turned to him.\u201cIsn\u2019t that Warry there?\u201d she asked.The butler almost dropped to the flagstones of the portico.\u201cYes, mem; no mem,\u201d he sald rapidly.\u201cI think it was not the Presl- dent.\u201d \u201cWell, I think it was,\u201d Insisted the senator's wife, \u2018and when you see Warry you just tell him we caught him that time.\u201d Do you suppose that butler delivered the message?Read Secrets of Parchment.Much of the lore of ancient palimpe sests\u2014parchment manuscripts from which the original writing has been erased and written over at a later date\u2014is about to be laid bare by the mysterious power of the ultra-violet light produced hy the mercury-vapor lamps.I'revious to 1914 the discov erer of a new method of using the rays, a Benedictine monk of the Bavarian order, had made such progress that many of the ancient parchments in the Benedictine abbey of Wesso- brunn had been made to disclose thelr secrets.In principle the new method is quite simple, being based upon the peculiur- ity, possessed by many organie sut- stances, of fluorescing\u2014glowing with a pale canary-colored light\u2014when brought under the influence of the invisible ultra-violet rays, The old parchiments possess this property to a remarkable degree, while the ink of the older writings upon them, containing ingredients insensible to the ac tion of the rays, remains dark and forms a contrast of sufficient intensity fo register clearly on a photographic plate.Old paintings, overlaid with new ones on the original canvas, have alse been discovered by thls method, \u2014 Popular Mechanics Magazine.Society Plays Craps.Craps no longer cau be referred to exclusively as \u201cAfrican golf.\u201d It is just ut the moment the amusement par excellence of

construction.This material, we are told, must not be confounded with ordinary plywood, for it is something infinitely superior.It is a super- plywood, so claims its manufacturer, which is actually sewn together, The layers are first cemented together with waterproof material and then stitched through In parallel rows about 1% inches apart.This gives a rigidity and resillence unattainable by any other method.Weight for weight, It is the strongest material yet evolved.The sheets are made to any desired size or shape up to 8 feet wide hy 60 feet long, and from one-eighth to five.eighths inch thick, thus eliminating waste in the conversion.\u2014Scientifie American.Big Price for Old Lamp.An Arab glass lamp of the Fourteenth century, which formed part of the late Morgans S.Willlams'

FROM American Crossed River Where Misstep Meant Death, { | \u2018 Reader Will Be in Full Accord With | the Statement That it Wis a \u201cCreepy, Ghastiy Process.\u201d An American tells of crossing the Teesta river, in the Himalayan region.| fro on a rickety bamboo bridge.| | The bridge, always dangerous, was at that time a mere ragged skeleton of itself, and to make inutters worse .was slippery with green slime.Such bridges are usually rebuilt once in two yeurs, but this one had evidently not been touched for much longer than that.On this narrow, tottering structure, open at the sides, the Amer ican had to cross over the turbulent, rapid river, 300 feet wide und seventy feet below the bridge.The instant one steps on such bridges they recoil from him and swing and shake In an alarming way, rolling from side to side and pitchiug like 4 ship in a storm.They swerve with a sudden jerk every time one lifts his foot; not only sideways and lengthwise, but downward and forward, as one\u2019s weight depresses the bridge.This goes on until one passes the middle of the bridge, after which the oscillating structure kicks up behind one as he uscends.Now, this American got on fairly well as long as he could see the bamboo rod on which he had to walk, although the open sides heightened the sense of insecurity, But away frow the bank, if one looks down to see where to pluce his foot, the rush of leaping water In the torrent below gives Lim the giddy sensation that both he and the bridge are running swiftly up stream.Yet one must keep his eye upon the single bamboo overhanging the abyss and find a shaky footing upon it, since to miss it meuns certain death.The American was a quarter of the way over, perhaps, when as he stepped from one bamboo to the next ft tilted up und he could see most of those in front were lying loose and disjointed in their V-slings.They had been broken away by the passing of persons who had preceded him.le could not swing round to go back; forward wus his only course, He went on with lung strides to get a foothold on this shaking, swinging line of sliiny bamboos.After cach step he had to half close his eyes to counteract the giddy feeling of the upward rush of the bridge.It wus a creepy, ghastly process.A false step meant death in the raging gulf below.After what seemed an age he reached the opposite bank, Old Elevators Still Run.Back in 1583, when Portland was a fledgling city, came un historical incident with the installation of the first passenger elevator in the Labbe building ut Second und Washington streets.The old cage is there yet, making its regulur trips.By ua caleulation it has truveled over 4,000 miles in its 38 yeurs of life, half of the distance up und half down.When it was first placed in operation it was one of the sights of the city, and no trip to l\u2019ortlund wus complete without at least a lovk ut the new contraption, As most of the visitors wanted to ride, it was very pop ulur, ; \u201cJust ubout tliree years afler it was installed Ed.Joost came to the build- Ing, und since that time, 35 yeurs ago, be has been running the lif, for over a decade being engineer-in-chief, In the course of events und in keeping with the march of progress the motive power has been changed from the old hydraulic system that served the down-town buildings to an electric motor, but the old cage, an elaborate structure of metal filigree, is yet on duty.\u2014Portland Oregoninn.Women in China.Perhaps as un outcome of à niove- ment started early this year by Chinese women's orgunizations in Canton to open avenues of employment hither to closed to women, the national assembly of the southern government has given a job to a girl.This Is a clerkship and the first in Canton, if not in all Ohing, to be given to a woman, Miss So Kan, the appointee, has been assigned to a post in counec- tion with publication of parliamentary records.In response to action taken by Chinese women's clubs the Canton-Sain- shune railway has sanctioned a plan to employ girls, while the Canton Telegraph company also Is planning to Include women in its working staff.Monster Sturgeon.A 65-pound sturgeon, five feet ten inches long, was recently caught in the Red Deer river at Drumbeller, Alberta, by some miners fishing near the Midland mine, Five men in all were \u2018required to get It to dry land, gradually playing it Into shallow water, when one of the fishermen cut its throat.The fish is thought by old- timers to be the largest caught in the river at Drumheller.Another, presumably of the sume size, was seen in the water at the time this fish was caught.Getting Rid of Typhoid.In Ralumore, where formerly typhoid fever was so prevalent, only 270 canes were reported last year, and of those It
