TELEGRAPH SPREADS SLANG.
Choice colloquiaisms Attain Instan-
taneOus Circulation Throughout
Country by AID q CpystOrs.

People who travel good bit are
surprised, if they're observant, at the
rapidity with which a new slang phrase
will tour the country" said salesman
whose district is from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, according to the Philadel-
phia Press.
1--WE often left town here with a
choice selection Of brand new COLO
quialisms stored up for use on my
western friends, only to have them
hurled at me on the other side Of the
Rockies when l stepped off the train.
'The telegraph is what does the
trick. Telegraph operators are the
great promulgators of slang. An oper-
ator in New York hears something new
and catchy in the line of slang. and
he springs it on an operator in San
Francisco. If a colloquialisIn is coined
in Philadelphia in the afternoon, San
Francisco gets it three hours earlier
the same day.
Operators are all the time 'joshing'
each other over the wire and slang is
Just meat for them. That's how 1t at
tains instantaneous circulation. And
that's how the wise guy of the me-
tropolis gets fooled when he strikes
Oshkosh or Oklahoma expecting to daz-
zle the natives with something
shrewd."

TOWNS ARE BUILT TO ORDER
English Contractor on Educational
Tour of United States Sees
Many Strange Sights.

As another example of the large
scale upon which things are done in
America, builder who has been TAX
ing an educational tour in the United
States told of the towns that are rap
idly built on the great western plains,
says Casters Journal.
There a contractor is ordered to
build a town just as in Europe he
might be asked to build a house or a
public building. So common is the
feat that one land agent may build as
many as 20 towns in a few months.
each with it's waterworks, its court
house. and other public buildings COM
plete.
The towns thus built to order differ,
Of course, from the old boom towns"
AS they were called-which sprang
up literally in a day, and nov and
again disappeared almost as rapidly.
These boom towns" were generally
the result of a rush Of settlers eager to
acquire shares in a tract of free land.
One day such a tract would be bar
ren plain, and on the next a town Of
several hundred people.
The rapidity with which town is
built is due largely to the existence Of
what are called frame houses
wooden dwellings so constructed that
they can be easily transported from
one place to another. and put together
in a few hours.

INVENTIONS DUETO NoVIcEs
Many Processes in Connection with
Glass Manufacture Come from
Those Unknown in Industry.

In 1927 a carpenter Of Sandwich.
Mass. wanting piece Of glass OF Pc
culiar size and shape. relates the Co.'S
mopolitan, conceived the idea that the
molten metal could be pressed into any
form, much the same as lead might be.
Up to that time all glassware had been
blown, either off-hand OF in q mold,
and considerable skill was required
and the process was slow The glass
manufacturers laughed at the carpen-
ter, but he went ahead and built a
press, and now the United States is the
greatest pressed-glass country in the
world.
In 1890 a novice in the plate glass
industry, Henry Fleckner, Of Pitts
burg, whose only knowledge Of glass
had been acquired in window glass
factory, invented an annealing 'lehr, /"
the most important single improve
ment ever introduced in plate glass
manufacture. IN three hours by the
lehr the same work is done which IN
der the old kiln system required three
days. In four years the importations
Of foreign crown and plate glass into
the United States fell IN value from
$4,000, 900 to 100000.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast, Of Pittsburg, also a novice 10
glassmaking. invented q process by
which bottles and Jars may be made en-
tirely by machinery, the costly blow
over process being avoided and the
expense of bottle-making reduced one
half. The result has been that more
bottles and jars are used in a month
now than in II months ten years ago.

MONEY MAKING MADE EASY.
Incident in Wall Street Shows That
Banking Institutions Pay Too
Much.

An incident that shows. 1t is thought

haitian lately. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
A man had 100000. and he did not
think he was getting enough income
out of it. He took it to a well-known
trust company and deposited it there
For his deposit he received a certifi-
cate showing that he was getting 315
per cent. for his money. He took this
certificate to his bank and borrowed
the full amount. 100000. ON it. For
this he paid rs per cent, so that he
had the use of his money and at the
same time he was getting a profit Of
rs per cent. on it. 1t was remarked
in the street when the transaction be-
came known that it was difficult to see
where the trust company would make
any profit on the 100000 deposit with
the money market in its present con-
dition.

WHITE FLOUR SELLS BEST.
Tinge of Yellow Makes It Unstable
New Bleaching Process In
creases Nutrition.

Nothing, declares the New York
Times, has bothered the millers and
the health faddists more than the de-
mand among Americans for white
flour. The whittier the -four the better
it sells, and of late years flour that
had the slightest tinge OF yellow has
been practically unstable. Now, yell
low is the natural color Of flour, and in
order to obtain the pure whiteness so
much in demand the flour has to be sub
mitted to a bleaching process, which
the health faddists declare much i'm
pairs its nutritive qualities. This is not
denied by the millers, who, however, are
only interested in giving the public what
It wants.
An Englishman named Alsop has now
come forward with a new process for
bleaching -four. which, It is alleged, IN
stead Of impairing the nutritive quail
ties OF the flour, increases them. This
process consists Of submitting the flour
to the action Of air which has been sub
jected to the action OF an arc or flaming
discharge of electricity. Analyses made
in some of the state agricultural de-
partments show that ordinary untreated
flour contains SAL, 900 Of its own bulk
Of heterogeneous matter, while treated
-four contains 75-1 900.

BULLETS WHISTLE CHARMS.
Breath of the Deadly Mauser Is Said
to Possess a Strange
Fascination.

The old fable Of the siren has its
duplicate in one OF the most deadly
OF modern weapons. The whistle of a
bullet ought to be deadly sound; 1t
is surprising to be told that It is a
beautiful one Mr.. H. +. Provost Bat
tersby says. in his South African
notes called in the Web OF a War: "
The mauser's most melodious period
is from 800 to 1900 yards Over that
distance its note is the most exquisite
ly lovely Of sounds. THE silky breath
Of the mauser" is q phrase that ade-
Quately describes it
But there is something more about II
than its beauty. something strange
and balefuI. It goes by like the sing
ing OF a wandering soul that can ind
rest only by bringing death 10 another.
It is a signing SO indescrlbabiy tender
and sad and sweet that every sound
of human lips seems without charm
beside It.
After lying for a time under that
silky breath, one has even to resist a
desire to lift his head and take the
next pun OF it in his face

There are in Rome nine orphan asy-

women,s Work in Korea.

As there are no labor-saving machines
In Korea woman's work is done by the
crudest methods possible, form hulling
rice with heavy wood or stone pestle
to washing clothes by beating them in
the streams and ironing them with
sticks. In order to iron, the clothes
must be ripped apart and wrapped
around wooden roller while damp;
they are then beaten by either one or
two women. 1t is surprising to see the
gloss on the white calico and the sheen
upon the linen produced by this method
Of ironing. 1t surpasses the dressing
one sees in this country on newly bought
linen. Since the people dress exclusive
ly in white, the woman's day-and often

Breeding Lions in captivitv.

For years back within the classic
precincts Of Phoenix park the authori-
ties OF the Dublin Zoo have been breed
ing lions at a rate that has been
touched by no other menagerie in the
world. The climate Of Ireland, which
is so inimical to poisonous reptiles,
seems to benefit the raging lion of the
Nubian deserts to such marvellous ex-
tent that he actually thrives better in
the open air within smelling distance
Of the River Liffey than he is accus-
toned to do in his native Africa. For
some mysterious reason these animals
