lER IDEA OF HOSPITALITY
travellers In Arabia, Guests Of Chief
systematically Fleeced Of Every
thing Of Value.

OF the curious ideas of hospitality
ned by some Of the natives OF tha'
Wild country lying between Bagdad
and Damascus two travellers, Capt
Butler and Capt. Aylmer, tell in the
Geographical Magazine. I'VE found
Feysul fbn Rashid Ga minor ruler oi
Arabia) sitting in low room, the
roof Of which was supported by wood
en- pillars. All round the sides Of the
room were spread carpets, on which
sat his viziers and members of his
court. He is a man Of 33 years, with
a dark, pointed beard, good, regular
features, but eyes that are cold and
cruel, and he has nervous, fidgety
manner, and was all the time arrang-
ing his abba Cloak and combing and
curling his mustache and beard and
admiring himself in small, cheap
looking glass that hung just behind
him. Above his head on the wall
hung his sIlver-mounted walking stick
and a sword, the sheath Of which
was also covered in silver. He was
very richly dressed.
"On arrival at the house placed at
our disposal we congratulated our
selves on our good fortune in having
such cordial welcome, but we were
speedily disiIlusioned Wehad not been
there more than five minutes when
Feysul's head slave, richly dressed
parsonage called Dahm, came to tell
us that the emir would not take our
plenty Of both, but that he would like
things Of European make or Of in
terest that we happened to have. This
was only too true, and, during our
five days stay there, there was a con-
tinual PROCESSION of slaves and hang
ers-on from the castle demanding
things for the emir and his viziers
and favorites, and demanding them
in such way that it was impossible
for us to refuse. At last we had
practically nothing of any value left,
having been fieeced of watches, revolt
vers, compasses. various clothes and
other articles of our kit
Apart from this system Of more
or less polite robbery, we were we'll
treated by the emir and had our food
sent us from the castle by him.
About three or four times day we
had royal command from him and
used to go up to the castle and drink
many cups OF coffee and excellent
sweet tea with him and talk about his
country and Europe He was always
very genial on these occasions and
| honestly think he considered he was
treating us very well in not taking
all we had and turning us adrift to die
in the desert"

Match Facts.

John Walker, an English chemist,
was experimenting in 1927 with an
inhammable mixture for use on ship
board.
One day Mr.. Walker happened to
rub stick dipped in this mixture
across table There was report
the stick took fire, and, because John
Walker was no fool, the match was
born
John Walker. the match's inventor,
put his wonderful invention on the
market in April. 1927 The Walker
match was as big as lead pencil,
and it cost a shilling box Because
it could only be lighted by drawing it
through piece OF sand paper folded
in two. the Holden match supplanted
it int1S33, The Holden was lucifer;
it ignited more easily than the Walk

comparable matches.

hitch in the proceedings. J Frank

state and the defense to serve the
papers for an open yenire Of 25 men

agreed upon after court convened. Fer

and was soon sending in prospective
Jurors, the court proceedings being
stopped in the meantime.
Before Farris had made his return,
however. b. b. Blakeney, in behalf
of the state. informed the court that
he had learned that Farris was a
personal friend Of Sims, and asked
his removal and the appointment Of
another special officer. Thereupon the
court appointed Deputy Sheriff john
Dutton. and court adjourned until the
panel could be secured.
The open venire Of 25 men was or
dered by Judge Russell Thursday
evening when It was seen that a jury
would not be secured from the regu-
lar panel. Frank Earnest was agreed
upon to serve the papers, which were
brought to Shawnee Thursday night
by Sheriff Pierce. but Earnest could
not be located until late. Yesterday
he declined to serve. and Farris was
selected.
A special officer was determined up
on TO serve the papers when the state
objected to the court allowing Sheriff
Pierce to act, on account of Pierce's
friendship for the defendant.

HeatIna a ereenhouse.

The heating of a greenhouse by the
sun is usually explained by the fact
that glass permits the passage of light
rays. but is almost impenetrable to
heat rays. so that as the light falling
upon the enclosed objects is converted
into heat and partially reflected, the
reflected rays cannot escape through
the glass. Thus the heat accumulates.
To test this long-established theory.
Prof. W. r. Wood blackened two
pasteboard boxes and covered one
with a plate of salt, which readily con
ducts both light and heat, and the
other with glass. The saltroofed box
became even warmer than the other.
this being true also when the heat was
first filtered from sunshine through
glass. The conclusion is that the
ground and other objects are heated
by the incident rays, and that this
heat is then spread by convection cur
rents but as the confined air cannot
mix and circulate with the outer air.
It concentrates a larger amount Of
heat.
