In 1915 misery old lady was found
dead in a fence corner few miles
south Of Blaise. France. When found
she was lying fiat on her back, with
one arm around her head grasping a
sunbonnet. Since that time not
spear Of grass has grown on the spot
where her body lay. The outlines of
the form, limbs, ETC., are as plain as
though they had been made by a per-
son lying down in snow or in plastic
clay.
Just back of the great British mu-
scum, London, there is a little plot of
ground known the world over as 1.-The
field Of the forty footsteps" The old
legend concerning the place is to the
effect that two brothers, in the time of
the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion,
took different sides and that they en-
gagged in deadly duel on this little
plot of ground. They stood off twenty
steps from a certain line and at the
word met at that line and killed each
other with knives. The forty impress
sions made by their feet while adj
vancing were ever afterward bare of
grass and were still pointed out 125
years ago at the time when the lot
was covered by large stone building.

How Fatigue Is Caused.

The fatigue felt after muscular ex-
ertion is chiefly due to the formation
within the muscles themselves of GER
tain heterogeneous poisons which are
the result Of chemical action going on
and which have paralyzing action on
the muscular fibers. These poisons are
formed by the breaking up of certain
reserve materials which exist in the
muscles without actually forming an
essential portion Of them. When these
reserve materials are thus split up they
give out energy which may be avail
able as a source of heat or as a cause
of motion. They accumulate in the It's
sues of persons who lead sedentary
lives, and when such people take much
exercise they are very liable to an at
tack Of govt or feverish prostration,
owing to. the sudden accumulation
within the blood Of too many waste
products for the kidneys to remove at
once. The immunity from fatigue pos
sessed by those who are continually
exercising is due to the fact that these
reserved materials have been gradually
removed during the course of training
and little remains capable of producing
equity poisons when much exercise Is
taken, .4 -,

The Critical Ages.

1t is calculated that the amount Of
heat given off by the human body
within twentyfour hours would be
sufficient, if concentrated, to bring a
nine inch cube of steel to q white heat.
1t is this heat which literally burns up
the body, and the very first day that
a man ceases to renew the tissues by
taking food he loses about half pound
or pound in weight. Brain workers
give off greater amount of heat than
physical workers; hence they are more
liable to collapse. After overwork they
are obliged to lie up till they can OBJ
tain more capital-in other words, they
have been consumed by the fire of the
body at a quicker rate than it takes
nature to supply quantity of fresh
tissue and muscle. The ages of twen-
ty-one, twenty-eight. thirty-five and
forty-two are the most critical periods
of a persons lifetime, for at about
these ages nature will hav fitted the
body out with new raw materials,
which may or may not stand the test
Of the persons ever changing habits Of
life. &c..

MINOT LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE.
The First One Was swept Away With
It's Occupants.


It's Occupants.
The first lighthouse on Minot's ledge
was luilt in 1S4S. 1t was an octagonal
tower resting on the tops of eight
wrought iron piles eight inches in diam
eter and sixty feet high, with their
bases sunk five feet in the rock. These
piles were braced together in many
ways, and. as they offered less surface
10 the waves than solid structure, this
lighthouse was considered by all au-
fhorities upon the subject to be excep-
tionally strong.
Its great test came in April, 1851. On
the 14th Of that month, two keepers
being in the lighthouse, an easteriy
gale set in, steadily increasing in force.
People on shore, and no doubt the
keepers themselves, watched the heavy
seas sweep harmlessly through the net
work of piles beneath the house and
feared no harm. On the 10Th, however,
the wind and sea had greatly increased
and the waves We're flung higher and
higher toward that tower in the air.
Yet all thought they surely could not
reach sixty feet above the ledge.
That night was one of keen anxiety,
for the gale still increased, and all
through that dreadful driving storm
and darkness the faithful keepers were
at their posts, for the light burned
brightly. On Wednesday, the 10th, the
gale had become hurricane, and when
at times the tower could be seen
through the mists and sea drift it
seemed to bend to the shock of the
waves. At o'clock that afternoon an
ominous proof Of the fury Of the waves
on Minot's ledge reached the shore,
a platform which had been built be-
tween the piles only seven feet below
the floor of the keepers room. The
raging seas then were leaping fifty feet
in the air. Would they reach ten feet
higher, for II so the house and the
keepers were doomed? Nevertheless,
when darkness set in the light shone
out as brilliantly as ever. But the gale
seemed, if possible, then to increase.
What agony those two men must have
suffered. How that dreadful abode
must have swayed in the irresistible
hurricane, and trembled at each crash
ing sea! The poor unfortunates must
have known that If those seas, leaping
always higher and higher, reached their
house it would be flung down into the
ocean and they would be buried with
it beneath the waves.
To those hopeless, terrified watchers
the entombing sea came at last. At 1
o'clock in the morning the lighthouse
bell was heard by those on shore to
give a mournful clang, and the light
was extinguished. 1t was the funeral
knell of two patient heroes.
Next day there remained on the rock
only eight jagged iron stumps.

Metals.

Mercury, of course, is fluid at all or
binary temperatures. OF the metals
which we commonly regard as solid,
lead can be made to flow with great
ease. II by hydraulic pressure it is
forced into cylinder with hole in
the side Of 1t 1t will, when the cylinder
Is full, flow out of the hole in a solid,
barlike stream. The harder metals,
as gold and silver, obviously undergo
slight fiuxion movements in the process
OF coming, as iron is not perfectly
rigid. In drawing out a bar of 1t into
wire the change of form compels the
particles of the metal to slide or shear
over each other, just as in the flow OF
liquid. So great are the pressures
that can be applied by modern me-
chanical science that even steel can be
compelled to change its shape without
fracture, and all such changes imply
fiuxion in the metal.

MIR. Rockefeller Abroad,

After rigid economy for many years.
making his monday lunch Of glass
of milk and piece Of pie, Mr.. Rookie
Teller has at last saved enough money
to be able to take trip to Europe.
His first idea when he took a notion
that he wanted to take a look at the
old world was to fill up the ocean and
have a railroad constructed across, SO
that he might go over in his private
car, but on thinking it over he decided
that such an undertaking might annoy
his old friend the shipping trust, SO he
decided to go by boat.
Mr.. Rockefeller goes over as pri-
vate citizen, but the kings Of the old
world will find him very approa cha BILE,
and they may call on him freely if they
will first be willing to submit to a
search for subpoenas at the door. They
will find him an Interesting converse
tionalist, and if they bring the children
along he will probably be pleased to
take off his wig to amuse them.
