CUTTLE BONE AND SEPlA.
Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.

Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.
Cutie bone was once made use of as
a medicine, but 1t is now used by gold
smiths as a polish and by bird fanciers
as food for Gagged birds.
This cutie bone, so called, is no bone
at all, but very wonderful structure
consisting almost entirely of pure chalk
and having been at one time loosely
imbedded in the substance of some de-
parted cuttlefish. 1t is an oval bone,
white and hard on the outside, but soft
and friable within, and is inclosed by
a membranous sack within the body of
the cutie.
When the cutie Is living this struc-
ture runs through the entire length Of
the abdomen and occupies about one
third Of its breadth. In weight cutie
bone is extremely light, and il it be
cut across and examined through a
lens the cause of the lightness will at
once be apparent 1t Is not solid, but
is formed of succession of exceed
ingly thin floors of chalk, each con-
nected with each by hundreds of the
smallest imaginable chalky pillars.
Many persons attribute sepia, or Chi
nese ink. to the cuttlefsh. They are,
however, in error, for sepia is manu-
facture of SCOT and fine gums. The er-
ror may be due to the fact that the
cuttlefish has an internal sac under the
throat, near the liver, that contains
very dark natural ink. When pursued
by enemies the cutie elects this inky
substance and thereby forms a cloud
of darkened water all about it and
hides In this water until out of danger.

PINK LEMONADE.
The story of ITS Introduction to the
Circus Public.


"Old Peter Conklin. the clown" said
a circus official was the first to give
pink lemonade to the world.
at dates back to 1857, when Conblin
was travelling in the south with Jere
Mabie's big show. COnlilin had dis
pute with Mabie and jumped the show
down in Texas. I've had the story
right from his own lips. He bought
couple of mules and an old covered
wagon. some tubs, tartarc acid, a
lemon, bushel or two of peanuts and
started in the refreshment business.
He followed the circus with his wagon,
and every time the tents were pitched
he would mount box and harangue
the crowd with:
Here is your ice cold lemonade,
Made In the shade.
Stick your finger in the glass;
It'll freeze fast.
"The lemonade sold splenddly, and
he couldn't wait on the people fast
enough. One day he was surrounded
by mob scrambling for the juice
when his water supply ran out. There
were no wells or springs at hand. He
rushed into the big tent, but there was
neer a drop of water to be had. In his
excitement he invaded the dressing
tent. Fannie Jameson, the bareback
rider, was wringing out pair of pink
tights, the aniline dye coloring the wa
ter a very pretty shade. Conklin didn't
stop to ask any questions. He grabbed
up the tub and ran. Into the tub he
threw some acid and the property lem
ON and called out:
"'Come quickly. Buy some fine
strawberry Lemonade
His sales were doubled that day,
and since then no we'll regulated circus
Is without pink lemonade. However,
we do not make it the same way now,
and sometimes strawberries are used
as we'll as lemons" Exchange.

.rnn African ostrich.

The African ostrich, from which the
bet white feathers are obtained,
stands six or seven feet high and
weighs from so to 100 pounds. Its egg
is equal to about two dozen hens eggs.
Its feathers sell in Africa for about
5000 pound at wholesale. While
walking quietly its step is about twen-
ty-six inches, but when frightened the
stride increases to about twelve feet,
and at this gait II can run something
like twenty-five miles an hour. When
pursued it sometimes turns and deals
the pursuer blow with the foot that
makes him think of the kick of mule.
The African ostrich is the largest bird
now existing on earth The American
ostrich is only about half the size of
the African and has three toes. while
the African bird has only two. The
plumage of the American ostrich Is
gray.

The Unit of Heat.

We cannot of course, measure heat
by yards, plnts or pounds, but the unit
of heat. the standard measure of that
phenomenon, has been agreed upon by
those whose business it is to philoso-
phize on that subject to be that guam
tity which can raise pound of water
one degree. Now, to turn a pound Of
water into Il pound Of steam 1t requires
96T OF these units of heat-that is to
say, If we boil pound of water until
it all goes away in steam we shall have
used in doing so quantity of heat
which would have raised OCT pounds
of water one degree higher in tempera-
ture.

Snow and Hail Of aue.r Co,or,.

Storms in which red, yellow and Or
ange colored SHOWS fell were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century. Hum
boldt mentions hailstorm which once
occurred in Palermo in which every
hailstone was as red as a globule OF
frozen blood. On March IA, 1918, there
was a hailstorm in Tuscany In which
the individual stones were each of a
bright yellow color. In 1903 at Carnio-
la, Germany, they had fall of Grim
son snow which was nearly five feet
in depth. Snow of a brick red hue fell
in Italy in 1916 and in the Tyrol in
1S47. In some sections of Iceland
snow seldom falls to any considerable
depth without being composed of al
ternate layers of frozen crystals of
different colors. There are arctic banks
of red snow which are so well known
to explorers that they are called the
"crimsou cliffs"

c(rUo1fY OF BEER.
This beverage Was First Brewed by
the Egyptians.

Beer is of great antiquity. 1t was
manufactured first by the Egyptians
and afterward by the Greeks Romans
and ancient Gauls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus, Pliny, Xenophon and others.
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing of beer or ale, as
it was then called, to the Britons, at
the time of the latters conquest by the
former. The Britons continued the
brewing of barley malt, calling it ale,
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing of hops with
the barley malt, calling it bier or, in
English, beer.
The history of the New England colo
nies shows that the Puritans were
great beer drinkers and that for long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer In those years beer was the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
of Massachusetts its retail price was
fixed by law at penny quart Its
sale to Indians was not forbidden. A
law of 1649 ordered that every Wet
ualer or ordinary innkeeper should al
ways be provided with good whole
some beer for the entertainment of
strangers.
The laws of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture of beer, and even
as late as ten years after Massachu-
setts had become a state law was
N nj 60
the manufacture and consumption of
beer ale and other malt liquors.
The act freed beer from all taxation,
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the i'm
portation Of cheap rum from Jamaica.

BRUNSWICK STEW.
A Gastronomic Triumph With n Nn-

A Gastronomic Triumph With n Nm
tiOnaI Reputation.
This celebrated stew originated In
Brunswick county, Va, from which 1t
takes its name-a county most famous
in antebellum days for its perfect
cuisine and astronomical predilec-
tons. The originator was either Mr..
Haskins or Mr.. Stith, each claiming
during a long life the distinction of
having made the first stew and dying
without proper adjustment of the con-
troversy. While made everywhere In
the habitable globe, it is seldom made
properly. 1t was introduced in Paris
by Judge John I. Mason of Virginia.
Only in Brunswick county Is this stew
SO appetizing, so piquant in the season.
ing to be found in all its perfection.
To this remark of the writer made to
a gentleman in the far south he re-
plies, "The egotism of Virglnian
suggests perfection in all things there,
and the slow pace of the state ample
time to arrive at It," The recipe is as
follows: One of three kinds of meat is
used-lamb, chicken or squirrel. Ii
chicken, it is first parboiled, cut up as
If to fry, the outer skin removed, then
put ON in hot water-a-plenty to cover
it-a large onion cut fine, large slice
of middling meat cut fine black and
red pepper in abundance and salt.
After cooking until the bones can be
extra cted, and hot water added If not
enough, corn cut off the cob and to-
matoes chopped fine are added, with
half a pound of butter, more pepper
and salt. Before serving add stale
light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish
potatoes or butter beans or any vege-
table save corn and tomatoes. Serve
in a tureen. 1t should be the consist
ency of thick soup and very highly sea-
soned. 1t is considered one Of the
finest of stews and has a national
putatiOn.-Richmond Times.

0Americanisms

"Fired out" commonly supposed to
be an "Americanism," has been traced
home to Shakespeare. In one Of his
sonnets he says:
Yet this shall neer know, but live In

"Say," as an exclamation to attract
attention to the beginning Of remark,
is common enough and not very ele-
giant. At least so thought a school
teacher who resolved to break his pu-
pills of the habit of using it. A bright
one quoted, however, this from "The
Star Spangled Banner:"
Oh, say, can you see?

A bow legged man usually possesses
more than ordinary strength. Why?
Because his legs in supporting great
weight can bend in one direction only,
whereas the man with straight legs Is
inclined to be wabbly. Such being the
case, why should not a knock kneed
man be stronger than bow legged
one2 His knees, being braced against
each other, ought to be more steadfast
than legs bending outward. Yet we all

The Discovery OF Electro Gliding.

The experiments which led to the
discovery of the method of electro gild-
ing were made in cell at the citadel
of Magdeburg, in which place, on ac
count of his participation in a duel,
young Slemens was at the time pris-
oner, the chemicals and apparatus en-
ployed being procured and smuggled
into the fortress by friendly chemist
of the town. In the second place, 1t
was the sale of the patent rights in
this invention in England which sup
piled the brothers Werner and William
with the necessary funds to carry on
their experiments and so helped to lay
the foundation of the important firms
of Siemens & Halske in Germany and
Siemens Bros. in England.
