All this is not yet ancient history,
for we are about to complete its
fifth anniversary only, and there are
yet many among US who were
participants of those days, officially
and otherwise. Quite a few became
flush, but great number suffered
and because worse off than formerly.
Others have gone and others have
come, but there are many of
them still enjoying themselves "in
the happy hunting grounds" and
are "living on the fat OF the land"

Change Often Results In the 1n-

A conversation with prominent hat
ter developed the fact that among men
Of large affairs where decided ezecu-
tive ability and strong mental equip
ment were requisite it was common to
find an increase in the cranial develop

shows decided increase in size after
middle age.
Thus, if it is a fact that the human
eye depends largely upon the surround

portion, it can readily be seen that in
the case of an eye which presents aD-
normal visual conditions due to an in
adequate development the increase in

LOCKS AND KEYS.
Their Use Can Be Traced Back to
the Ancient Egyptians.

the Ancient Egyptians.
According TO Demon. locks and keys
can be traced back to the ancient Egyp-
tians, more than 1000 years ago. This
is inferred from the sculptures on the
great temple Of Karnak, which closely
resemble locks still in use there
clumsy. massive wooden locks. in which
three pins drop into three holes in the
bolt. when it is pushed in, and are
raised by corresponding fixed pins on
the big key. Similar locks and keys
are found at Mosul, near Nineveh. tile
key being more than foot long, quite
clublike and often carried on the shoul-
der.
Keys are also mentioned at the siege
Of Troy. 1893 B. c. The Phenicians
are said to have exchanged locks for
tin from Cornwall. Occasional notices
Of them occur in many Greek and Ro-
man writer's. Pliny ascribing their in
vention to Theodorus Of Samos. Bronze
and iron keys have been found in the
ruins Of Pompeii.
Possibly far more ancient than these
are Chinese locks. with springs and
tumblers, some Of them musical, almost
exact counterparts Of the famous
Bramah locks of England in the eight
eenth century.

MYSTERIES OF SAP.
How the Circulation From Roots to
Leaves Is Maintained.

Leaves Is maintained.
To illustrate the modern view Of sap
circulation, which is not thoroughly un-
derstood, it is necessary to explain
that the chief food Of the plants, con-
sisting Of inorganic salts dissolved in
water, is absorbed from the soil by the
roots. The root consists Of hollow
tube or cylinder lined with several
cells, the outer layer Of which contains
certain hairlike processes.
The water in the soil, containing the
salts in solution. is absorbed by these
root hairs and passes By filtration into
the cells and capillary vessels. The
activity Of these root hairs and the
concentration Of fluid in the adjacent
cells create what is called root pres
sure" and this forces the sap into the
general vascular system Of the plant
and up to its furthest eXtremities, or
leaves.
This root pressure" is further sup
plemented by Transportation" or loss Of
vapor from the leaves under the infiu-
ence of heat and light. Plants may be
said to breathe or respire by their
leaves, and this abstraction Of water
by Transportation creates fresh de-
mand for the vital fluid supplied by the
roots. In this way the circulation, or
rising Of the sap" from root to leaves.
is maintainad.-Pearso

VEGETABLE PORCUPtNE.
Rsi1d Cettle Eat Its Sharp Spines n
With Ironclad Mouths.

The best hated cactus in America is
the cholla. The Mexicans say that If
you go near a cholla joint it will jump
at you. Certainly if you touch one it
will stick, and when you try to free
yourself it will pierce your other hand
as we'll Each pendent joint seems to
reach out for the passerby. and the
ground beneath the broad cholla trees
is strewn with fallen fragments. many
OF which take root and grow.
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points it is source Of continual
wonder to see the wild cattle Of Ari-
zona quietly browsing on chollas. The
phrase cactus fed" as applied to Arl-
zona is not figure Of speech. During
the years Of drought thousands of cat
tie carry themselves over until the next
grass by eating chollas. With their
leathery tongues and lips they strip the
spiny joints from the trunk and leave
the wide spreading cactus bare and
woody skeleton. 1t is only the range
cattle, whose mouths have been hard
ened on the thorny mesquite and iron
wood browse, that will undertake to
eat cactus, and cattlemen therefore
often burn the thorns from chollas and
nopals in order to tempt their more
fastidious animals to eat-Country

peated frinss Of pistol.
The national dish in Servia is pork.

themselves all through the year so as
to have money enough to buy pig at

wood, the pig is turned over a blazing
fire until cooked. the guests watching

Why Little Folks Are Big Eaters.

1t has been laid down as physiolog-
ical rule that the requirements Of adult
diet depend not on the weight Of the
eater, but on the extent Of his bodily
surface. In the case Of children this
rule is further modified. An infant
may weigh one-eighteenth as much as
a grown man, but its surface is more
than one-seventh as great. AS the first
requirement of the infants food is to
replace the heat that is continually be-
ing lost by radiation from all parts Of
the body. the latter fraction determines
the needed proportion Of nourishment
rather than the former. But in the
case of 4 growing child food is also
needed to supply the increase Of bodily
weight. In all. an infants ration may
be five times as much as would be esti-
mated from its actual weight alone
