Rise OF &c. Louis.
st. Louis now claims a population
of 900, 900, which, II supported by
figures, makes the Missouri metrop-
oils the fifth In size Of the lar.-e cit
les of the United States.
st. Louis was founded In the year
3ool B. G. by protoplasm who was
of his feed and didn't care what he
did. Having started the place, how
ever, he didn't feel like leaving and
did not leave until he discovered that
IL was no place for a live, go-ahead
proto-and he left As nothing was
ever heard Of him afterward, IL is be-
lieved by eminent authorities that he
went up into the Ozark hills and
kicked himself TO death for having
doomed such town.
About the twentieth century, r.
@ the late Mr.. Chedorlaomer made
an expedition to St Louis aud up
to the day of his death he regretted
IL. In his memoirs he says: of all
the dead past-due burgs that ever
honored with my presence st. Louis
takes the cheese" Mr. Chedorlaomer
was q close observer and knew what
he was talking about. The next per-
son Of note to visit the town was
Shalmaneser in the year 70l b. c.
He mistook 1t for national ceme-
terry and did not stop of, but pro-
ceeded on to Keokuk, Iowa.
The town wabbled on with indiffer-
ent success until william the Con-
queror's time, when some live busi-
ness man built morgue and then
IL began to grow. Abe Slupsky's
discovery of the Mississippi in 1927
gave the town boom aud the census
of 1925 gives 1t population OF l05.
When it is recalled that only 4,500
years before all that there was Of St.
Louis was protoplasm this rapid
Growth is fraught with interest. Dur
Ing the last 300 years its progress
has teen trifle slow but steady.

Protection Against Lightning.

Ships at sea formerly were in dan
ger during thnnderstorms, and much
damage to property and great loss Of
life are recorded in shipping accounts.
Within half u century Of time there
were in the British navy alone nearly
300 instances Of vessels being struck
by lightning, involving a loss Of about
100000 worth of property and hun
dreds of lives. Modern science, has
however, entirely removed the proba-
bilities OF disaster by arranging cor
ductors from the highest points on the
masts down through suitable passages
into the sea, where the water dissi-
pates it. So certain are the results
when these conductors are properly ar
ranged that the officers go about their
duties with very little apprehension
even in I've electrical storms. In a
somewhat similar manner the Wash
ington monument is protected from
lightning, to which, by reason of its
great height and exposed situation, it
is peculiarly liable. A metal cap Gov

Electric Currents.

There are many persons who talk
very learnedly about electricity, and
seem to fancy that they have found out
all about 1t that is worth knowing.
In the face Of ideas of this sort comes
on an accident 'thout precedent, In
deed, one that u-der ordinary circum-
stances would be counted impossible.
A workman, in oiling the machinery
cd a small electric fan-one used mere
~ for the purpose of cooling the air
IN q business house-accidentally
touches the wire and Is instantly killed.
The current that runs the fan is said
to have scarcely power enough to give
q gentle shock when touched. An cleo
trician, who has recently been making
some important experiments, has DEM
onstrated that by using electricity in a
certain way fifty times the current usu-
ally employed for executing criminals
may be passed through the human body
without injury. Is 1t not possible, then,
that very weak currents, under certain
conditions, may possess power hitherto
unsuspected?

Caring for the Hair.

For washing the hair, particularly
such as is inclined to be oily, nothing
is better than the common hard soap
Of the kitchen. A woman who has
used it frequently herself. and seen its
benefits tested in other cases prescribes
it with strong faith. Make a strong
sLds," she says. rub it quickly on the
hair and wash it off again at once.
After that any scented soap or wash
may be used in the way of an ordinary
shampoo" An English maid, who is
famed for the care of her mistress
hair, may be taken in further testi-
mony of the same article, as the only
wash she uses is soapsuds, thickened
with teaspoonful Of glycerine and the
white Of an egg. Undoubtedly women
waste money in expensive hair beau
tifiers and preservers. Simple means
right at ones hands are just as efTec-
tive. The pulp OF a lemon, for Instance
rubbed IN the roots Of the hair will
stop ordinary cases Of falling out.
