Can the Earth ExplodeP

From the Womans Home Companion.
We frequently hear the suggestion that
the earth may some time explode from the
pent-up forces within, and we often read
theories about explosions Of heavenly
bodies, but the earth can never explode
from It's own pent-up forces. Under our
very feet at this moment, between the
earth's solid crust and the molten interior,
there Is pressure exerted more than dou-
bic that which is capable Of being exerted
by the most powerful dynamite in the
world. 1t is generally accepted and prob
ably true theory that the whole interior OF
the earth Is a molten mass of rock and
metals heavier than the crust above, and
upon which the crust floats in a relatively
tnln layer. The thickness Of the earth s
crust within the great continents is proba-
ply from fifty to one hundred miles. If we
estimate the pressure exerted by the weight
OF one mile of earth and rock at 10000
pounds, which is well within the truth,
then fifty milesl Of Earth would exert a
pressure of about 100000 pounds, and 100
miles would exsft ai.spressure of 1.OO0OO
pounds to the square inch. Now, as the
pressure capables bf Being exerted by the
most powerful Dynamite, exploded in a
space equal to its own volume, is about
500 600 to $50, ,OO6 pounds. it is evident that
II the whole iMefori of the earth were
niled with dyYlarifei and exploded it
would be capable OF exerting a pressure
only about -thardsereat enough to raise
the continent ortiz disrupt the crust of the
earth.

Natives Of Formosa.
From the Chicago News.

A wealthy Japanese forest planter re-
the aborigines Of Formosa, where he had
large interests. While he was entertaining
them in a restaurant in Kyoto wasp few
into the room. A japanese newspaper
says: "At the sight Of this tiny insect one
of the guests jumped up, caught 1t very
dexterously and made morsel of the liv-
ing thing with evident relish Envious at
the luck Of this man. the other aborigines
began to search about the yard for similar
insects, till at last a nest was discovered,
to the immense delight Of the searchers,
who divided the spoil among themselves
and greedily ate the nest and all. It Is
said that the geisha and other girls who
waited on these inSectiyorous savages were
frightened out Of their wits at seeing this
strange conduct Of the strange guests. On
the other hand, the aborigines themselves
were rather suspicious of the entertain
ments they received after they arrived in
Japan proper. They did not understand
why they should be treated in that way
Indeed. at one time they took it into their
heads that their hosts fed them with delica-
ceS in that way with the ultimate object
of killing them afterwardi Mr.. Dogura's 8
object in bringing home these uncouth fel-
lows here Is to take them about his planta-
tions in Yamato and especially to show
them the manner of intersect.ng forests by
roads. This gentleman owns large forests
in Formosa, but owing to the stubborn oppo-
sition Of aborigines residing in the vicinity
to the cutting Of roads through those for
eStS he decided to induce some of the
natives to come to Japan to personally in
spect roadmaking in forests"

THE "BOYS IN BLUE.
Evolution Of the Uniform Worn by
Uncle Sans Soldiers.

| From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In the war for independence uniforms
| were various. For well-known reasons the
| men were often glad to wear anything
| they could get. The most approved dress,
| however, was the blue coat and buff
breeches Of the con5inental line In 1796
| the infantry wore dark blue coats In 1910
the rank and file In all branches of service
were put into bftie coatees, or Jackets In
1881 the army regulations made blue the
| army color and Later regulations prescribed
light blue trousers for the rank and file.
| In the period AbetGsen the Mexican and
the civil wars there WAS a tendency IN in
dependent compAniesu toward gray. This
was in imitation. perhaps, of the gray uni
| form still worn by West Point cadets. There
| is widespread >belief that General Scott
! favored gray uniform, and for a few
months in 1914 his army on the Niagara
| frontier wore gray. At the opening of the
civil war manyfof the existing militia or
| ganizations, bothtnorth and south, had gray
| uniforms. The confederates stuck to gray,
| or, ra ther, butternut, which was actually
| the first "khakif Uniform generally worn.
| The federal troops, of course, because that
| was the regular army color, and the his
| torlc color and because a that time it was
| the best service uniform in use, wore blue.
The eXgencies OF active service during
the civil war and the practical genius OF
| the American soldier. already noted. tended
| to tone down the brightness of the blue.
| This tendency became still more marked in
| the succeeding Indian campaigns. Nnen
the Spanish war began the field dress of
| the regular army, no matter what the reg
| uiations said, was, in fact. wooden shirt,
| trousers. brown slouch hat, shoes, cartridge
| belt and gun And the soldier who kept
| his cartridge belt filed and his rifle in first
| class condition was not pestered on active
| service with questions about the color of
| his clothes.
| The American soldiers laudable habit of
| thinking for himself, wherein he excels all
| other soldiers, as well as the wisdom of
military experts, has led to the formal
| adoption of the earth-colored service uni
| form and the formal reservation of the blue
| uniform for dress occasions and parade pur-
poses. The practical change, in fact. pre-
| ceded the change in law. And so the his
| toric blue uniform disappears from the
battlefield as a visible fact, and yet remains
in the larger field Of public thought and
| imagination.
| In blue uniform the American soldier has
fought since there was United States.
| In blue he fought and won the greatest
war in history. Blue he will still wear with
| pride, though not for his working clothes.
For that reason no matter what the regu-
| lations say, to all the world in song and
| story so long as the republic endures Amer
lean soldiers will still be "the Boys in

Milk Weed.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Unemployed philanthropists might find oc-
cupatfon during the season of flowers in
rescuing unfortunate honey bees and bugs
of less degree from the pitfalls of the milk
weed blossoms. If you will examine these
flowers any sunny day you will be pretty
sure to find them decorated with a miscel-
laneous assortment of struggling or dead in
sects. with their legs fast in the slits of the
peculiar blossoms The pollen of this COM
mon plant. instead of being a powder, as in
the case Of most plants, consists of sticky
waxen masses hidden within the blossom
When visiting insect thrusts proboscis
or leg into the opening of such a flower
some of these masses stick to it, and the
natural course Is for the insect to fly off
10 another fcger and fer.iiize this with the
adhering pollen. All insects, however are
not strong enough to extract their legs
from the sticky places. and then ensues the
slow torture of hanging there until death
Or helping hand releases them from mis-
cry. Under the name of Virginian swallow
wort our roadside milkweed used to be- and
perhaps still is, cultivated in English flower
gardens. Besides being beautiful II could
be quite useful plant if we cared to de-
Velop Its virtues. Thus its milky Juice con-
talns caoutchouc; brown sugar has been
made from the flowers; the silky hairs OF
the seeds are serviceable in the manufac-
ture OF textile fabrics, as cotton is; and a
hber Of good quality for ropemaking may
De extracted from he stalk.

TREES DRINK LIKE HORSES.
Plan to Irrigate an Orchard by Capil-
larry Attraction.
From the Denver Post

From the Denver Post.
Irrigation on the capillary attraction prin-
ciple is now being invest igated by the state
board of horticulture, and the government
experiment station at Fort Collins, with a
view to recommending it for adoption in
this state. Fruit growers who have ex-
entirely feasible and much more effective
than the old way of feeding moisture to
trees by way of the roots.
Flage Carter of Park county, the first
person to try the plan in this state, wrote
Governor Orman some time ago explaining
the method of irrigating a tree by capil-
larry attraction. He takes a vessel, a pan,
or a bucket or anything that can be tied
to tree limb and will hold water He fills
1t with water and then bends a twig about
the circumference of ordinary lead pen
Gil into the water. The liquid will be rap
idly absorbed by the twig. and in turn the
water will enter the limb and soon per-
meate every part of the tree. The problem
of keeping the vessels supplied with water
is not a difficult one, for the reason that a
half gallon of water will do as much irri-
eating many cubic inches under the
present plan, the adherents of the scheme
claim
Capillary attraction is the future of or
chard irrigation says the originator Of
the proposition. 81 took up the matter
two years ago. but did not put it to a
final test until this spring Then I had two
trees that needed attention badly, and
experimental with each. One young tree
had been rubbed thoroughly by a horse
and was wilted badly. 1 applied my method
of watering 1t and within one week 1t COM
pletely revived. l next treated a sick apple
tree, and now 1t is all right thanks to the
capillary attraction principle

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, August lit has
| long been an open secret that the sugar
| legislation and policy Of NJ. Witte, the
| finance minister. finds no more support in
| Russia, outside the ranks Of the sugar pro-
ducers than they do abroad. This revolt
appears now to have extended even to
Kieff, the center Of the Russian sugar
business. The newspaper the Kievlan.n,
| treats M. Whites last diplomatic essays
with Just as marked coldness as did ihe
foreign perss.
The Kievlanin observes, rather sharply,
that M Whites appeal to the most favored
nation clauses in Russia's commercial trea-
ties Is of greater theoretical than practical
value. since Russia has no commercial
treaty with England and all her most i'm
portant treaties will soon expire More
over, it supports the position taken by the
United States that a general law directed
against all bounty-fed sugar cannot be re-
garded as an infringement Of the most
favored nation principle. The paper sees
no sense in embroilments such as M. Witt4
brought about between the United States
and Russia for the sake Of what he calls
"a clique Of favored manufacturers" 1t
characterizes M. Whites denial Of bounty
on sugar as not corresponding to the facts

THE OK HORN INDUSTRY.
How a Trade Which Has Reached
Large Proportions Originated.

From the New York Evening Post.
A far 1iar sight in the business quarter
Of this city is the Russian horn peddler The
man himself Is picturesque, having the
strong features, dark skin long beard and
ill-ftting clothes which mark the Sloyak
while his wares are always noticeable for
their oddity. Sometimes it is the hatrack
consisting of two OK horns beautifully pol
ished and fitted together at the butts upon
small wooden board ready for hanging In
hallway. At another time 1t is a small
three-legged stool, of which each leg is a
great horn. Again, it is a gun rack, where
the hooks are horns yellow, white gray,
brown and black. If you desire it he will
supply you with easy chairs. arm chairs
and rockers Of which the entire frames are
made of horns. OF similar construction are
easels. music racks, picture frames, wall
trophies and baby cribs.
The industry was started about fifteen
years ago by some poor Russian Jews near
the kosher slaughter house. Before that
time the horns were sold with the hoofs to
the glue makers and button marufa CT urers.
They brought but a few cents a pound and
the glue buyers had no trouble in getting
all the raw material they needed.
The manufacturers first prepared the
horns by boiling and using alkalies. After
ward they found they could secure better
results by treatment with cold alkaline So
lutions followed by antiseptics. After the
horns have been cleaned, they are scraped
and polished until they gleam like bur-
nlshed metal. A few are vanished. but the
practice IS not recomme nded by the trade.

Human Flesh as Bait.
Human flesh was also formerly used as
bait The victim was cut up and left to
decompose for two or three days In a barrel
or tub In olden times the use Of this kind
of bait was in great vogue with the kings
and chiefs. 1t was used because 1t was
much cheaper and more easily secured
than pig or shark liver, was equally ac-
cepeable to the shark, and gave the king or
chief an opportunity to get rid of any one
who was in his way or to whom he had
taken dislike. Kamehameha 1. the Napo-
leon Of the group, was a great shark hunter.
and kept his victims penned up near the
