Sound Waves.

The sensation of sound, as Is we'll
known, is produced by certain to and
fro or wave-like movement of the air
striking upon the drum Of the ear and
so setting it in vibration. Each sound
wave consists Of two portions, In one
Of which the air is compressed beyond
and in the other rarefied below the av-
erage pressure. If two sound waves
are travelling in the same direction, but
one Of them starts half wave length
behind the other, the compressed half
Of one will fall upon the rarefed half
Of the other, the average air pressure
will remain undisturbed, and the two
sounds will combine to produce silence
If sounding tuning fork be slowly
rotated near the ear four positions will
be found in which the sound will be
barely audible. This is dive to such in
reference of sound waves as has been
described.

ssWaltOn,s Angler >,

This insignificant duodecimo volume,
not remarkable for any especial liter
airy merit beyond an easy; cheerful,
chatty good humor, interlarded with
technical information about a strange
ly Fascinating sport, occupies one Of
the topmost inches in the huge tenn
pie Of British photographed fame.
Worth its weight in gold'' is very
inadequate expression. The number
of sovereigns it's value represents over
balances many copies. Its companion
volume, the second part, by Charles
Cotton, was not issued from the press
until twenty-three years later and nat
urally increases the already stupendous
price when found with the earlier
work
The perennial popularity Of oval
tons Angler" is very remarkable. Sell
dom a year passes that does not wit
ness it's reissue in some form or other,
either delicate and dear for the con-
noisseur's shelves or commonplace and
cheap for the travellers pocket. There
is charm about the book which time
apparently cannot destroy.

"steaI Not This Book"

Students of sociology who are fond
Of tracing back the customs Of latter
day man to the practices Of his re-
mote ancestry will note with interest
the fact that there is authority at least
600'years old for the entry, 'Steal not
this book for fear Of shame" by which
schoolboys proclaim their ownership OF
a work
In curious volume in the Bodleian
library, formerly belonging to the
monastery of Robertsbridge in Sussex,
is the following inscription: This
book belongs to st. Mary of Roberts
bridge Whoever shall steal it or sell
it or in any way ALLEVIATE it, let him be
anathema maranatha."
In the course of the fourteenth CEN
fury the book came into the posses
sion of John, bishop Of Exeter, who
seems to have been somewhat troubled
by the inscription as being likely to
give rise to injurious suspicious with
regard to himself. Accordingly he
wrote underneath it under date 1877,
81, John, bishop of Exeter, know not
where the aforesaid house is, nor did
I steal this book. but acquired it in
lawful way."-LOndon Advertiser.

How to Make Beesvvax,

The following recipe for beeswax
can be vouched for: After the combs
have been put through an extractor or
crushed and strained through a thin
cloth the wax is put in copper Or
porcelain lined kettle, with cold water
enough to cover it, and boiled for half
an hour, or longer if it seems neces-
sary. When the wax is taken from
the stove it is strained and poured in
vessel previously dipped in cold
water To make round cake Of bees
wax pour the melted wax in a bowl
that has been dipped in cold water.
TO make wax sheets use board three
eighths Of an inch thick, dampened
with warm water, then dipped in the
melted wax two or three times. The
board is next put in water to cool for
a little while, after which it is taken
out, the edges trimmed with a sharp
knife and two sheets Of wax peeled off.
To make these wax sheets the wax
must not be too hot or it will crack

A Quaint Old Ceremony.

This Is one of many quaint cere-
monies that take place at the Church
Of st. Gildas, in Brittany, on the feast
day Of the patron saint. Two or three
thousand peasants on horseback ride
in procession three times round the
church and then proceed to draw water
from the sacred we'll close by and
pour it over their animals in the be-
lief that it will act as a sure preventive
of accidents and disease.
Meanwhile the women inside the
church are engaged in standing in. a
stone sarcophagus supposed to have
contained the body Of the saint. This
is looked upon as a certain cure for
toothache. But the most important of
all the ceremonies is the throwing Of
a fowl from the tower of the church
to the people below. 1t is torn to pieces
in an instant, and the man who is for
tunate enough to secure the head is
looked upon as a champion, while his
parish is regarded as sure to secure
the best harvest.

According to the generally accepted
doctrine the dog days begin on July 3
and end on Aug. II, but there have
been disputes as to every possible
point about them. 1t was universally
agreed that they were connected with
the dog star, but which one? The
real dog star, Sirius, or Procyon, the
Little Dog? Then there were disagree
ments as to the particular astronomi-
cal performance Of the star that fixed
the dog days; as to their number,
which varied in different estimates be-
tween thirty and fifty-four, and wheth-
er they were to be reckOned before,
after or around the stars perform
ances. The forty settled on precede the
rising Of Sirius with the sun. A be-
lief grew up that in these days dogs
went mad but terrestrial dogs have
really nothing to do with it. The
original belief was that the star and
sun together brought intense heat and
all sorts of plagues.-London Chronicle.

Ringer and Wind.

Making a ringer in the pitching Of
Quoits must have been part Of the
training which made the English long
bowmen so terrible in siege that by
gauging the distance and taking the
lay Of the wind they could send up a
deadly volley at the exact angie to
drop their arrows with destructive
force into the heart Of beleaguered
city. Getting the lay Of the wind is
the first thing to be learned in the
noble art of pitching horseshoes. Ii
the wind be contrary, the incest cal
culations as to everything else will be
in vain. 1t is only supreme master
Of the game, a dazzling genius in its
mathematics, who can play against
the wind-that is to say, one who, il
the wind be from the east, can, by
throwing at exactly that degree Of an
oblique angle needed to make it meet
the wind full at the point opposite the
goal, may hope to have it carried to
the right spot

Honey In the East.
described

In ancient Egypt honey was employ
ed as an embalming material, and in
the east to this day it is largely used
for the preservation Of fruit and the
making of cakes, sweetmeats and 9TH
er articles of food. In India host will
offer to his guest a dish composed Of
honey and milk or Of equal parts OF
curds, honey and clarified butter. It is
given to a bridegroom on his arrival
at the door of the brides father. In
the east, also, when CRAFTS, seeds and
birds eggs are to be transported a
great distance they are often packed
in honey

The .Tale of a Tub"

One of the most ancient Of all sea
yarns is one that ships have escaped
from the fearsOme monsters OF the
deep by throwing them tub to divert
their attention, in much the same way
that a landsman might sacrifice gar
ment in order to escape a bull. In
MINISTER'S "Cosmography," published
in 1914, there is picture OF vessel
escaping from a whale by this strata
gem, while the earlier editions Of
Swift's ''Tale of Tub have similar
one. These stories We're usually told
in such an incoherent way that people
became skeptical Of their truth, and
when pleader named Tubb put Il
cause before Sir Thomas More in out
rageously rambling language that chan
cellor jocularly remarked, Here is a
tale of tub" Thereafter the express
sion became part Of the slang OF the
period until much later it was raised
to a higher rank by becoming the title
Of Swift's famous work.

STYLES In Africa.

The women bore hole in their top
lip and gradually increase this until it
is able to inclose a disk Of wood two
and even three inches in diameter. A
Mubira woman came to call on US
whose disk measured two and five
eighths inches across. The size OF the
wood inserted proclaims the rank OF
the person. Peasants are only allowed
to wear pieces Of stick Of the same di-
mansions as match.
The weight of the wood causes the
lip to fall down over the mouth, and
in order to eat it is necessary to lift up
this shutter with one hand while the
other conveys the food to the mouth.
Frequently the lip breaks under the
strain put upon it, in which case the
disconnected ends are carried back and
tied to the ear.-"On the Borders OF

Cloth Dyed With Cobalt.

Cloth changes color with change
of weather if it is dyed with chloride
Of cobalt. In clear weather it is
blue, when a change is near it turns
to violet and for rain to bright pink.
The change is due to moisture, and 1t
can be produced by breathing upon
the cloth. This property Of cobalt salts
has been applied to the construction
Of floral hygrometers. The petals OF
artificial flowers are tinted with cobalt
salts and vary in color from blue to
pink according to the weather. Their
action is different from that Of a ba-
rometer, which indicates change Of
pressure Of the atmosphere and Is also
usually behind the change Of weather.
The barometer indicates the cause OF
the storm, and the colored cloth shows
it's effect.

Points About Pins.

Thorns were originally used in fas-
tening garments together Pins did
not Immediately succeed thorns as fas-
teners, but different appliances were
used, such as hooks, buckles and laces.
It was the latter half Of the fifteenth
century before pins We're used in Great
Britain. When first manufactured in
England the iron wire Of the proper
length was filed to a point and the
other extremity twisted into head.
This was slow process, and 400 or
500 pins was good days work for an
expert hand. The United States has
the credit of inventing the first ma
chine for making pins. This was in
1924. The inventor was one Lemuel
Wellman Wright.

PALOUsE LOSES HEAVILY.
Reported That 100000 Bushels Are
Spoiled by Rain.

Seymour Manning. general agent for
lhe Northwestern Warehouse compa-
ny, of the Palouse country, reports
that fully 10000 bushels OF wheat
are spoiled In the Palouse wheat belt
as n result of the heavy rains the
past 10 days.
There are hundreds OF acres stand
ing in the shock In the vicinity OF
Oakesdale, Thornton, st. John that is
practically a total loss. 1t IL now
growing and rottng In the shock.
Many farmers have their entire crop
standing In the shock and Will lose 1t
all. The condition Is serious as II af-
fects many farmers, whose loss VIII
be enormous.
1t Is thought that about 10 per cent
Of the crop has been threshed and
will be lost, except what Is used for
feed. A portion OF this can be used
for feed for stock, II fed In the sheaf,
but IL II were threshed II would rot
In the sack, as 1t did In 1898, when
millions OF bushels OF grain. which
had been cut, threshed and sacked,
spoiled, and the farmers lost the grain
and the sacks In which II was stored.
The condition now confronting
many farmers Ia quite similar to the
memorable fall OF 1893. when one Of
the best crops ever grown In the Pa
louise country was nearly all lost by
the heavy rains which fell before 1t

skirts OF The Yellowstone national
park. but the designs of railroad COM
Danies are secret and sometimes mys-
terious, and there is an undercurrent
Of opinion or guess work among many
Of those who usually are well posted
and good prophets upon other matters
that the main object Is to ultimately
build on through the Madison valley
and land In some important city to
the north, probably Butte. II Is ar
Eued that such road would run
through productive country all the
way and there would be little trouble
on account OF steep hills Also that II
would then become the main line and
the present road from Idaho Falls
north would then dwindle to a side
issue. However, as before stated, this

IMMENSE CROP OF ONIONS.
Hood River Gardener Advocates Sub
Irrigation.

J. Nj. Hollowell, the Hood River
gardener. made record crop of on
ions in his gardens west OF armory
building. OFF small piece of ground
measuring about $50 square rods Mr..
Hollowell has gathered 25 tons OF fine
onions all OF which he now has stored
IN his sheds.
Mr.. Hollowel says: This is a good
crop, but l could make great deal
better showing II | couiu but make
the necessary improvements to the
hnd. But 1t would be n very expens-
I've piece OF work and would not pay
where have not the land OF my own
upon which to put such permanent
improvements. | would put in two
inch drain tile at proper distances and
NJ proper depth to make a perfect
system Of sub-irrlgatlon. This would
enable us TO make the rows uniform
~ IL inches apart instead of every
other one l6 or IS inches apart to ena-
6le us TO irrigate the onions We
would save in space In tnls way and
besides the damage which would nee
essarily occur to onions during the
work OF surface irrigation would be
done away with. Besides this the
onions would grow better and make a
larger crop with sub-irrigation than
with the surface"
Mr.. Hollowell says 1t would not save
20 much on his crop of celery, as the
spacing OF the rows would remain the
same. but he says the crop would be
much better. He now has the finest
celery that is raised in the state OF
Oregon and II would be hard to i'm
prove upon it.-Hood River News Let
