MAKING WHISKY IN PRISON,
Miniature stills That VIII Turn Out

=" E'"t Day.
From the Atlanta Journal.
Acting on the principle that no whisky Is
bad whiskey, and refusing even to acknowl-
edge that some whisky Is better than other
whisky. certain prisoners in the Tower
have, according to the statement of a man
just released. erected miniature distilleries
and have made the oh-be-joyful tanglefoot

the statement that tiny distilleres are in

his way home told interesting story to

WEAPONS OF ANIMALS
Claws, Teeth, Horns and Psoofs All Come
Handy at Times.

Claws, Teeth, Horns and Roofs All Come
Handy at Times.
Many animals, including both those
that kill and those that are killed, are
endowed with special means of offensive
and defensive combat. The latter are
often furnished with weapons of effec-
tive value, such as the horns of cattle
and goats and the hoofs of horses, says
the Philadelphia Times.
Even some of the largest animals.
which are not carnivorous and may be
said to have no enemies, possess special
organs that they Gun use for infiicting
wounds. Such are the tusks of the
elephant, the horn OF the rhinoceros
and the antlers of the moose Their
primary purpose, however, is to aid in
procuring food and In cleaving a way
through forest and jungle.
With beasts and birds of prey weap-
Ons of attack are Indispensable.
Among the most highly developed are
the retractile claws of the cat family.
thecutting and tearing teeth of the wolf
family and the talons of eagles and
hawks. Even In lower forms of life we
| find highly specialized weapons, chief
among which are the fangs of venom
Gus serpents and the stlngs of bees.
wasps and hornets, rendered far more
effective by the presence Of a powerful
and sometimes deadly poison.
While noting the liberal endowment
of creatures that prey upon animals.
we must not lose sight of the fact that
certain vegetarlans are also we'll equip
ped with weapons of combat The
males of the bovine and the goat tribes
In the wild state use these weapons
largely in their cOmbats with rivals or
their own species. while the females
employ them chiefly in defense of their
young.
The bull fights with the head down.
often with the eyes closed; and the
horns, being usually short and nearly
straight, can be used only one at time,

The horns OF the COW in all the com

some species these branching horns are

strength and toughness at the season
when rivalry and battles between thu

natural to infer that the antfers are
intended chiefly for this purpose.
Against many foes however, man in

One OF the richest of Americans. John

man he was comparatively unknown
and his entire life was passed on and
near the Delaware River, where II di-

sylvania, which tended all the more to
his obscurity. But his departure opens
up to view a rare and splendid charac-
ter who made the most of his opportuni-
ties and the possibilities for rapid en-
richment only to be found in our own
country.
Mr.. Blair came Of Scotch blood. his
ancestors settling in New Jersey in
1920. They were Presbyterians of the
most orthodox type. The subject Of
this sketch was born Aug. %, 1902. at
Belvidere, N. j. He was one of eleven
CHILDREN, eight sons and three daugh-
ters
The first money he earned was by
trapping rabbits and muskrats and
selling their skins at 81 for sixteen. Be
fore he was IL years old he was clerk
in the general store of his brother, at
Hope, \. j. At II he owned a store of
his own. He became postmaster at
Butts Bridge. He started two of his
brothers in business and they, too,
prospered. At one time he had five gen.
eral stores In as many towns. He es-
tabllshed the Belvidere Bank In 1881.
A cotton mill fell into his hands and he
operated it for several years. He bought
cargo of cotton which was supposed
TO be damaged, but which was Injured
very little, and in one year made $l15,
000-an enormous profit in those days

In that year he was sent as delegate
TO the Chicago convention which nom-
mated Abraham Lincoln for the Presi-

A few years ago Mr.. Blair. with con-
siderable pride, made the statement
that he had built every road with
which he had ever been connected for
cash and without putting a dollars
worth of It's stock on the market to raise
money. He calculated that in his rail-
