der Discus ThroNver strikes q
Graceful Attitude.
"If any OF our sculptors are seeking
for a new subject remarked an artist
who was sitting through Il set of ath,
letic games ut which Martin j. Sheri-
dan was giving an exhibition of his
Skill at throwing the discus, there is
the man for them to study. just
watch him the next time he throws
the thing from my point of view and
see If you don't think they would be
rewarded for their study"
The spectator to whom this remark
had been addressed kept his eye on
the hero Of the Greek games from the
viewpoint of his sc%ulptural possibili-
ties, and this Is the impression he re-
ceived: 4 tall young man in a white.
sleeveless jersey, running trunks and
black spiked shoes stood quietly out
In the middle of the field while u
smart ummer shower dampened his
black hair until it was streaked down
over his low forehead. His chest va
unusually broad and deep, his shoul-
ders square the muscles of his legs
having their greatest development in
their long slnews rather than In cir
conference. His repose was the most
striking thing about him after his
muscular development, for ne rarely
moved, talked little and laughed or
smiled less. 1t was plain he took his
work for tile moment seriously.
Nor when it came his time to throw
the discus did he alter his manner,
except to grow more intense. If any
thing. Grasping the circular disk Of
wood and metal. he made n pre-
liminary and wide sweep Of his body
and arms. the movement being no
ticeably slow, and then as he gathered
the necessary momentum he twirled
with almost Incredible speed twice
around on his toes. the second revolu-
ton carrying upward until it seemed
as If he must necessarily leave the
ground and fly up into space. so full
Of the suggestion Of flying was the
tense, beautifully graceful figure.
AS he rose on his toes In one Of
those revolutions Of his body his fig
ure had more grace than that of the
classical discus Thrower" and sug-
gested flying more than does Diana
on her tower or the angel dutterlng
before Sherman as he marches to the
sea.
Any sculptor who a create that
effect in bronze is likely to be ranked
among the masters of his kind and
will do something far and away above
the tlnkling golf players or football
warriors that so far represent the
highest flights Of our sculptors in
works in the field Of sport.-New York

Bottle Making M.ch,n..

Fourteen years ago a bottle manu-
facturer. Claude Boucher. in Cognac,
France, was forced tt close his fac
tory by the continuous strikes and ex-
actions of his employees. He then set
to work to invent a machine for the
manufacture Of bottles. This machine
Is now In use In various parts of the
country. One-quarter Of a million bot
ties are turned out by it daily. A
single machine produces $4,000 bottles
In twenty-four hours, and any one can
learn to run 1t In a week. The bottles
are stronger and look better than those
made by the blowers.

The Rain In the Woods.

The lamentable effects of the gener-
al destruction of forests are now suf-
fciently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating floods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast con
densing Greer They preserve a
moist atmosphere aDout them, atten-
uate the force of %torrential downfalls.
promote Il more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And yet the manner in which forests
act their beneficent part is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent a large part of the rain that falls
from reaching the soil at all. 1t is es-
timated that in European climates the
forests %evarorate directly or transplre
physiologically four-ifths of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest

Cock Crower.-An Extinct Trade.

Cock growers in the past got good
pay" said an antiquary, "but theirs is
an extinct business now. Cock crow
ers were employed by the rich in their
town houses to crow the hour. They
crowed only the rising hour for the
most part, but during Lent they crow
ed eyerything-even the halves and
quarters-all night long. 1t was a kind
OF penance. These men were trained
from childhood to crow. Sometimes in
their childhood an operation was per-
formed on their throats to give them
a more cocklike delivery. An ancestor
OF mine on the maternal side was q
famous cock Grower in his day."-Lon-
don Graphic.

What Puzzled Her.

A woman whose religious education
had been received In the plain ediflce
erected by an unassuming New Eng
land congregation was persuaded,
much against her will, to attend divine
service In one Of New York's most
snowy churches. She showed from
the start that, Notwithstanding her pu.
ritanical training, she was interested in
the proceedings. She studied the elab.
crate ceremony, the architecture, the
richly tinted windows and the altar
decorations closely. BY and by her
eyes became fixed on the ceiling. Her
friend wondered what particular fea-
turO Of those lofty heights held her
attention for so long a time During
a lull In the chanting OF the choir she
tried to ind out.

How ws..n Wa. Named.

Near Schwenksvllle Pa, Is a village
that bears the name Of Woxall. This
wonderful name was the result of an
error upon the part Of the postofIice de-
partment in Washington, The place
was known many years ago as Crop
pestettel," or "CEowtown." and later
a. MechanIcsville, but when a post
Office was established there In 1893
neither Of these names was satisfac-
tory, and II was decided to choose a
new cognomen. Many were the sug-
gestiOns submitted to the postoffice de-
partment, but all were found to be too
nearly like the name Of some other
postofiice to be acceptable One day
the village storekeeper saw the word
"Noxal" upon piece Of calico and
called the attention Of several friends
to It. At once all agreed that "Nox-
air would be a fine name for their
town. So the postofiice authorities were
notified. Soon a letter came from
Washington approving the name that
had been chosen, but In the letter 1t
was spelled "Woxall." So Woxall be-
came the name Of the village.--Phlln-

Luck and Regulations.

Nobody gifted with a sense Of hu.
NOR can fail to be diverted By the
Puck-hke manner In which luck makes
and unmakes regulations for business
ability" says VIII Payne In Every
bOdy's. Years ago a gentleman named
Jennings was an extensive owner of
downtown real estate In Chicago. He
was the first, believe, TO develop on a
large scale the modern system OF the
ninety nine year lease, whereby the
owner insures to himself and his heirs
for a century an absolutely fixed rent
al, free and clear Of all charges. After
Mr.. Jennings had leased a lot Of his
lands for ninety nine years depres-
sion came on. Other peoples incomes
were curtailed, but his was stable.
What foresight said the town. What
sagacityr What superb business judg-
ment! Mr.. Jennings views on the
business situation and outlook were
eagerly sought The depression passed.
Realty prices advanced immensely.
The Jennings lots could have been
leased at twice the rental named in
the old indenture. The town shook its
head sympathetically over poor Mr.
Jennings deplorable shortsightedness.
