The value of wheat flour for

portion Of gliadin contained in
the gluten. The total gluten in

From 60 to rs per cent Of the.
total gluten should be.in the

This insures dough which will

Says Professor Snyder Of Min
nesota: tsThe most valuable
wheats for bread making are
those composed of 60 to IS per
cent of gliadin and '35 to 40 per

complexion of -four from macar

From samples examined Pro-
fessor Ladd is convinced that the

when properly handled, a super
Tor -four from which can be pro.
dueed bread of good quality, of
excellent flavor and more highly
heterogeneous than the flour now
in use.
It would not be strange if in

peath Chances IN RattIe.

In Homeric days a battle was a
conflict of armed mobs. The nearer
you got to your assailant the better
was your chance of killing or being
killed. The bigger the man the bet
ter wera his chances in the strife. In
these piping times Of mechanical
warfare tho situation is reversed.
Battles are fought at ranges of a
mile or so. The smaller the man the
less are his chances of being hit. An
ingenious mathematician has figured
out that perhaps the casualties on
the Japanese side must have been
considerably less than those Of the
Russians in the recent war If it be
assumed that the Workmanship Of
each was equally good. The advan-
tage of the Japanese was inyersely as
the cubes of their height and breadth.
The average target offered by each to
the enemy are of the cubes of 1885
and 1912, or as LOG to lis, an adj
vantage in favor Of the Japanese of

Everybody Hunts CLANS.

Many of our prominent citizens
are turning clam fishers, said Alfred
J. Carter, former Mayor of Red
Wing, Mimi, at the Pflster.
During the last year seven differ
ent clam fishers found pearls ranging
in value from $1,000 to 100000 and
hundreds of the diggers and sorters
have discovered jewels worth re-
spectacle sums. Clam digging is as
hard an occupation as is possible to
conceive and can only be withstood
by the stoutest of men.
Several months ago a poor digger
found a pearl worth presumably
100000, and several other discov-
cries followed in the same bed. The
natural result was that hundreds of
the people from the surrounding
country rushed to the scene of the
finds and many well-knuown people
donned the rough diggers' outfit and
gathered in the shells which possibly
might bring fortune to them. A
few had good success, but the major
ity found that their quest was use
less and soon gave up the task. -

cross section of he truck.
Screws, nails or bolts could be
placed in the receptacle, and the
truck loaded, or unloaded without the
necessity of STOPPING down. It would
be particularly convenient for carry
ing materials to be used by workmen
either in connection with tools or in
connection with a bench. BY cross
ing the eide bars of the frame rigid
structure is formed, the bars being
pivoted at the crossing point The
truck can thus be folded up to oc-
cupy very small space, and in large
establishments, where hundreds of
trucks are in constant demand. they
could readily be stored in an unused
corner until needed.

The body also is bent in several not
ungraceful loops It extends in a
generally north and south direction.
The air line distance from the ex-
treme end Of the oval ring to the
Outermost ring of the tail is about
500 feet, but if the figure could be
pulled out straight its length Tin
Gliding the oval object near the
head would be 1885 feet, or fully a
quarter of a milei At the largest
part Of the body the width is twenty
feet, but the tail is only four or five
feet wide. The height varies from
four to six feet, The oval embanh-
ment measures 100 feet in length

mansions are eighty-six by thirty

The serpent mound of Ohio was
first discovered by Squier and Davis
in 1916, who described it in report
to the Smithsonian Institution. Its
preservation is due to the activity of
Professor #. w. Putnam, of Boston,
and the generosity Of Miss Alice
Fletcher, OF the same city, who fur
nished the money to purchase the
land and create park. The place
was not properly cared for, however,
and at the suggestion Of e. o. Ran
dali, secretary of the Ohio State Ar
Genealogical and Historical Society,
She custody Of the park was wisely
intrusted to that Organization. Mr..
Randall has recently written book
on the subject, and it is from that
publication that the accompanying IL
Iustration is taken.
Another effigy of the same kind
was discovered years ago in Canada,
not far from Toronto. 1t is called
the Otonabee serpent mound, because

because it is situated in Otonabee
County. Professor David Boyle, of
Toronto, says that excavation in the
Canadian mound revealed two skele-
tons in a sitting posture, besides ex-
ira arm and leg bones, a skull and
the teeth of dogs or wolves The
head of the Otonabee serpent points
to the eastward, and there is a rep
resentatiop of an egg opposite the
open mouth. Similar formations
(but possibly without the egg) are
known to exist at Mayvilie, Green
Lake, Madison, Potosif and other
places in Wisconsin, and at least one
has been found in Illinois
Mr.. Randall discusses at much
length the possible significance of the
form of these mounds The serpent
was an object of worship by many
ancient nations, though it is not
easy to understand how such ideas
could have been imported into Amer
lea in the days when ocean transpor-
tation was dangerous Yet there

The picture postcard even here
has become nuisance, but on.
the Continent, where the craze has
assumed really gigantic proportions,
1t has proved to be the last straw
which has very nearly broken the
postmans back. In October, 1904,
the number of picture postcards
passing through the dead-letter
branch Of the French Postofiice as
undelivered was only $500 day,
but 1t had risen to 5000 during Au-
gust of last year, and it is feared
that this year will see the number
more than doubled. Calculating on
this, XXI declares that the total NUM-

We are wont to speak of this era
as the age of iron, and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speak
ing, iron is a precious metal.
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, II not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints. would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hahd-set type. linotype
"slugs,' monotype type all are
made of compositions Of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field OF usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put--paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
talic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead, some OF which are. sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready4pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are just as good as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint
Red lead" is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges
There are many Other products Of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
sential = many Of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age OF lead
as well as of iron.

THE SERPENT MOUND.
Strange Construction by Prehistoric
People in Ohio.

People in Ohio.
One of the races that occupied this
country before its. settlement by the
white man was known as the mound
builders, on account of the huge
heaps Of earth they left in the re-
gion where they ldwelt, and which
were in many cases (if not always
places of burial. Practically all Of
these mounds were round, or nearly
so. Something highly exceptional,
however, was left in Adams County,
Ohio, where it still exists, the land
ON which it stands having been pur-
chased and reserved on account of
its historical interest.
This strange object is mound
which was evidently intended to rep
resent a serpent. At one end there
is what looks like pair of widely
distended jaws, just beyond which is
