Some years ago Il tobacconist discOv-
cred the utility u iinfoil for wrapping
tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been
exclusively used for the purpose, but IL
did not serve 10 Keep the moisture Of
the atmosphere away from the tobacco
nor preserve the natural moisture OF
the tobacco from the effects Of Il dry
or heated atmosphere. Paper also ali
sorbed the arom of the weed and was
not sufficiently lasting. therefore tin
foil was used for wrappers, But 1t be
came costly and could only be rolled 10
a certain thinness, beyond which the
ingenuity of man seemed TO find IL im-
possible to 20. The fact Wis that no
rollers could be made to sustain the
pressure necessary 10 maslling the tin
foil to d leaf sufficiently thin 70 suit the
manufacturers,
Many Ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave I'D the problem il ansolvabIe,
when Il simple Workman about The shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, Put the two sheets
together inio tile rollers and made both
half as thin as they yer before. This
was as simple as standing an esg on
end, but it created a revolution in the
manufacture of tinfoil for tohacconists'
use and made i mint Of money for the
discoverer.

Parrots when in their native wilds

a complete police system which ena.
bles them to marshal their collective

They seem to be disciplined and

The chef ON one of the Pennsylvania
dining ears was particularly laxative
the other day. The train was waiting
for its Philadelphia passengers, anu
every table in the diner was occupied
The second call of Baltimore passen-
gers were standing around the aisles
waiting for vacant places. There was
no little amount Of dissension among
those whose appetites had not yet been
appeased. The diners seemed TO be eat
ing in b most leisurely fashion. with no
apparent concern for those who were
less fortunate.
..it's always the way said the dark
conlpleNioit1 cook, glancing through
the ssaT. When the train Is running
niot,s those people will eat about twice
as fast as they do ordinarily. But
when she I'M to a stop they start ID
talk and hardly touch a bite, It's tho
motion Of the moving train that does
it. Now, you just watch then, and see
ii I'm not right"
Just then the train pulled out, and
the observer saw a sight which firmly
convinced him that his informant had
spoken trnthfnlly. Plates. knives and
forks began to rattle industrionsly Ev
cry one began TO eat as If his life de
pended upon the next m%outhfui.
