Statue of Liberty.

The statue of Liberty in New
York bay Is of copper sheets about
one-tenth of an inch in thickness.
The total weight is about 100000
pounds, of which about 10000 are
copper and 264,OOO iron. and cost
a million francs {s2O0,0OO). The
height Of the statue itself from the
heel to the top of the head is 10
feet, and from the base to the top
of the torch is $50 feet. In regard
to the preservation of the work per-
haps the words of NJ. Bartholdi
himself are in order: "Since all the
elements of its construction are
everywhere visible on the inside in
all their details it will easily be
kept IN good condition"

Did They?

There is nothing much more dis
tressing than an unfinished story.
a number of people in London
drawing room were conversing
about capital punishment when a
lady remarked:
Glow strange it must seem to be
sentenced to DEATH"
Not SO very, very strange, I as
sure you. l was myself once con-
demned TO death in Africa" said a
returned African explorer.
Indeed~ exclaimed the lady.

Queer courtinq.

All the counting is done by the
'somen of Ukraine, Russia. When
a girl falls in love with a man Sic
goes to his house and tells him the
state of her feelings. If her afec-
tons are reciprocated a marriage is
arranged. If, however. Barkis is
not willin' she remains in the
house. hoping to coax him into re-
garding her suit with favor. The
poor fellow cannot treat her with
discourtesy or turn her out, for her
friends would be sure to avenge the
insult, If he is really determined
that he won't have her his best
plan is to leave his home and stay
away as long as she remains in it.
Thus a man may be turned out of
house and home.

Keepina up His Reputation.

A friend who lived in another
city had repeatedly promised our
children one of his fine dogs, which,
as he never lost an opportunity to
remark, had an unusually long ped
igree.
One day as I was returning
home the children ran to meet me,
and one Of them cried, 'oh, sister,
Mr.. R has sent the dog. Do
come back to the stable to see it.
It has the longest pedigree, and it
Just wags it too cute. "-Delineator.

SIMON BOLIVAR.
Stormy Career Of the Man For Whom,
Bolivia Is Named.

Bolivia, the South American
country, gets its name from Simon
Bolivar. The land has had as
stormy history as did the liberia
tor who assisted in making it a re-
public IN 1926. Bolivar had been
writing his name large in South
American history for long time
before that date, however, earning
for himself the title of the wash.
ington of South America" Simon
Bolivar was born IN Caracas, Ven
ezuela, IN 1888 of noble and
wealthy family. he studied law II
Spain, Travelled much IN Europe,
married and returned to his native
country. In 1909 he visited the
United States on his return from
another journey to Europe. 1t was
at this time that he became an en-
thusiastic admirer of republics and
made up his mind to free yenezne-
la from Spanish despotism. From
that time on war was his portion.
In 1913 he entered Caracas as
conqueror, was hailed as the iber-
ator of his country by the people
and made absolute dictator IN civil
and military affairs. BE met with
reyerses, however, at the hands of
the Spaniards, and it was during
a period of defeat on the continent
that he convoked a congress in
Haiti, instituted government and
abolished slavery there. That was
IN 1916. Thereafter he was sue
cessful against the Spariards in
South America, and in 1919 at An
gostura. Venezuela, he was chosen
president with the power of dieta-
tor. When New Granada united
with Venezuela he was made the
drst president. By 1922 the new
republic was completely cleared of
Toyahst troops.
Bolivar was summoned the same
year to help the Peruvians and \
1924 was named dictator of Peru.
By 1925 the Spaniards were driven
out of Peru also. and Bolivar, call
ing congress at Lima, formally
resigned the dictatorship. Soon aft
er that the southern part of Peru
was erected into separate state
and named Bolivia, and he could
have been dictator for life. Howev-
er, troubles in Colombia kept him
busy. Venezuela broke away from
the rest of Colombia in 1929. Boil
war was denounced for his ambi-
ton, and he was virtually forced to
retire to Cartagena. He died in

An incident Of LIE Among the Co
manehes Of Texas.


The Lie of a Fossil Hunter"
by Charles 4. Sternberg, tells many
an incident of life among the In
dams OF the southwest. The au-
thor,s search for specimens led him
among the Comanehes of Texas, a
tribe that has preserved much of It's
original wildness of life and eharac-
ter. This gave him a chance to find
rare surviyals in native usages.
Among other things he saw how
the Indians sent messages by their
old method:
sAbout nightfall I crossed Cache
creek and saw at my right in a
bend of the creek an elevated
bench on which a teepee was
pitched. There were two Indians
standing about, one large, feshy,
good natured man, the other thin,
with large, prominent cheek bones,
a typical comanche. a large flock
of children ran out to meet me.
l must confess that / felt little
uneasy at being so entirely alone
and at the mercy of these Indians,
but made the best Of it. As sew
eral turkeys were living on the
ground. / told the good natured
man that l wanted his squaw to
cook. me one of them for supper.
This she proceeded to do.
Il put of going to bed until late,
as 1 dreaded sleeping. in the high
grass where l left my saddle.
%After breakfast. as ! started out
for the trail, a boy of fourteen
walked out with me and stood talk
ing, with his hands tangled in my
pony's name. At our feet the path
divided and encircled a little mound
Of earth covered with buffalo grass.
When the boy had finished the Gig
arctic he was smoking he threw
the still burning stump into this
dead grass. which was damp with
dew and which sent up dense col
umn of smoke.
@This was done so naturally that
1 thought nothing of it until got
up on the level prairie where l
could see for miles ahead. As far
as eye could reach column after col
umn of smoke was rising through
the still morning air.
at was thirty miles from the
crossing at Cache creek to Fort Sill,
yet when l presented my letter to
Major Guy Henry in the office at
9 o'clock the next morning the first
question he asked was. Did YOU
leave the crossing at Cache creel
about sunrise yesterday morning?
"When answered that l did he
said that probably about ten or ff-
teen minutes after I left the creek
the Comanche chief had received
notice by smoke signal that one
man was crossing over the trail to-
ward the fort"

In tn. Dukes Domain.

During the sixties or seventies of
the nineteenth century a middle
aged man, Indispensable from an
ordinary tourist, with the Students
stoop in his figure and the air of
one looking for something, was
wandering through the grounds of
Battle Abbey. To him a man
whose dress proclaimed the garden
er said, "Allow me to show you
the spot you are looking for" my
good fellow" came the reply, "don't
bother me. have a letter from
the Duke of Cleveland permitting
me to wander by myself where I
want" 'But," returned the other,

MoonIioht and clear skies.

1t is well established that the
moons aerial envelope must, be ex.
tremely thin. if it exists at all,
and consequently the heat received
by the lunar surface from the sun
must escape into outer space al
most as rapidly Us it is received.
1t follows. therefore. that at the
end of the .ong lunar night the
temperature Of its darkened sur
face must fall! goo degrees or more
below zero. while It's surface when
illuminated By the sun must be ice
cold. Gu. most delicate thermome-
tiers exposed to the radiation of a
full moon fail 10 show any appreci-
able rise Of temperature. Never
theless there Is reason to infer that
the radiant heat from our satellite is
sufficient TO disSipate to some de-
gree the higher and thinner cloud
forms Of the earth, so that scien-
fists hold that there is some con-
frmation of the popular belief that
moonlight clears our skies.-New
