Vegetables In England.

Until the end of the reign OF
Henry VIII, according to the his
torian, Hume, no carrots, turnlps or
other edible roots were produced IN
England. The few that were used
were imported, and the state papers
contain numerous references to the
dispatch of messengers to the con-
tinent for rare vegetables and sal
ads to grace the table at important
royal banquets. Cucumbers also
were unknown until the sixteenth
century, and celery owes its intro
duction in England to the French
marshal, Taillard, who was imprl'-
oned in England after his defeat BY
Marlborough. Broccoli and cauh-
flowers came from Cyprus in the
seventeenth century, and the pota-
to, taken to England by Sir Wal
ter Raleigh about 1884, was not in
general use until 1868, when the
Royal society directed attention to
It and recommended its cultivation

WHERE TO BUILD.
Rocky Site No Longer Advised-e-av~
the Ideal Soil.

kne iuobi OWL
Strange as it may seem, after
1000 years of talk and song about
the advantages Of founding ones
house upon a rock, one of the very
things that modern builders tell us
to avoid in selecting a site is rock.
That is principally because OF the
great cost of excavating cellar in
rocky soil.
Another objection to rocky soil is
that water will not soak. through
rock and so runs down 1t. Some OF
this water would be almost certain
to seep through the cellar walls,
making the cellar damp, or it might
undermine the foundations.
Again. rock often contains
springs. If spring were opened
during blasting it would mean Ell
Their that the water would have to
flow through the cellar or be de-
fected, costly operation. A house
built upon a rock also vibrates dur
ing thunderstorms.
Clay is perhaps more to be avoid
ed than rock. Clay collects water
and spreads under pressure. 1t e1.
pands in wet or frosty weather and
contracts in summer. Frozen clay
clings to brick or stone and often
causes dislocation of cellar walls and
piers.
Also it is impervious to water.
Thus an underground layer OF clay
will prevent the proper drainage Of
rainwater and leave the soil foul
and sodden. Finally, it is extreme
" costly to excavate. Undesirable
for building purposes also are made
land, sand and silt. Made Land II
not always stable.
Gravel is the ideal soil for build.
ing purposes. 1t is porous and
drains perfectly. AT the same ciiht
it is sufficiently stable to support
foundations. A gravelly elevation
is the ideal building site.
Depressions or levels between
rocks are likely to retain water
even though the depression ia slight
and the elevations distant. The
ground water thus retained stands
at level. Small gravelly elevations
form islands, as it were, in subter'
ranean lake, and upon them houses
may be built with perfect safety
The cellar floor will be above
ground water level, and no rainwa
ter will drain into the cellar.-Cir

A Wifs,s rheuahtfulness.

A Chicago newspaper man tells
this on himself. He was about to
start from home one bitter morn
ing last winter when the mercury
was lowering around zero and .
razor edge gale was hustling in of
the lake. He had just pulled on his
gloves, and, turning to his wife, he
asked: "Whatever became Of that
old pair of ear muffs / used to
wear? II you can find them, | be.
lieve FL put 'em on this morning.
81 wouldn't wear those things II
l were you," responded his wife.
"Why not?" inquired John, look
ing at her suspiciously out OF the
tail of his eye.
"Why," returned his wife, in a
resigned tone, "you wouldn't any
more than get downtown with those
ear coverings on before somebody
would ask YOU to come in and have
something and you might not hear
It, and when you found it out the
shock might kill you. Then | would
be q widow"
John had closed the door and
gone on his way-without the ear
muffs.

A loru Greek Word.

What Is believed to be the long
est word TO be found In any diction'
airy, one that leaves even German
and Dutch hopelessly out OF it, may
be turned up in Liddell and SCOTS
lexicon by those who can read
Greek characters. Those who can
not may be content to know that
this word, which begins 4ePsdote-
machoselachogaleo," proceeds In
like manner through seventy-eighs
syllables and counts 17O letters in
all. OF course no ancient Greek
ever used such word as this in or
binary conversation. 1t is a comic
word invented by Aristophanes fol
rythmical delivery in one Of hi!
plays and means a dish compounded
of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and
sauces, which are enumerated in the
word. The most ingenious English
translation Of 1t yet suggested Is

FATE OF TWO STORIES.
One Was q New One, and the othss
Was an Old, Old Timer.


The POSTMASTER introduces the
new speaker, who arises and begins
his remarks in a pleasant vein. Be-
ing a man of some originality OF
ideas, he illustrates his talk with
brand new story. The audience
smiles in a noneommittal manner.
The speaker determines to shake
things up and tells another new
one. A few scattering laughs are
his reward. So it goes while he
tells half a dozen new ones. Then
an inspiration comes to him. He
realizes that the trouble is he is
telling stories they have never
heard.
(Which reminds me-" he says,
apropos of something he has just
said, "of the two men who ate horse
radish for the first time"
He sees four or FIVE men straight
en- up in their chairs and nudge
their neighbors, as though they
were preparing them for what Is
coming.
"The horseradish was on the ia.
ble," says the speaker, "and one OF
tho men took heaping teaspoon
full of it at gulp. Great tears
coursed down his cheeks, and his
friend looked at him with wonder
ment."
All over the room he now sees
men winking and nodding at one
another as though they were pass,
ing the word to wait for the nub OF
the story.
"'What is the matter?' asked the
friend" narrates the speaker. az
Just remembered that my grand
mother died a year ago today was
the answer"
A wave Of laughter sweeps over
the banquet hall, and everybody is
happy. At last a story they recog'
nize.
"After O decent interval" says
the speaker, "the friend asked how
the other man liked the white stuff
meaning the horeradish. The othel
man said it was great, and the FRIEND
tried tablespoonful of it. Their
he, too, cried bitterly"
A spasmodic effort at applause ii
checked here by those who urge
their friends to wait for the finish
of the story.
"Why are you crying?' asked
the other man. 4 am crying an
swered the friend, because you die
not die the same day your grand
mother did,"
And then the cheers and laughte'
break forth, the applause continu
ing for fully FIVE minutes, while tn
speaker bows and bows and wait
an opportunity to continue his re
marks. He has realized in TIM
that the average audience want
jokes that it recognizes as sucl
from old acquaintance.
Consequently he does not tell HI
audience that the story they hav
applauded tickled the ears o
Shakespeare and was first printe'
along about 1926 in a book calle'
"a Hundred Merry Tales" out o
which Benedick alleged that Bea
trice got her wit.-Wilbur D. Mes

HEAT OF THE SUN.
Tho Enormous Energy Vested In ths
Rays Of Our Luninary.

We receive warmth and Light
from the sun, but the most OF US
think little about the enormous
power vested in our luminary. The
most satisfactory way of arriving
at an idea of its tremendous energy
is by measuring the amount of heat
which its rays are capable of gen.
Grating. And, further, by our
knowledge of the relation which eI.
lists between heat and. mechanical
work, we are able to Stimate the
amount of work which the sun is
capable of doing and also the guam
tity of energy it must be losing
year by year.
By suitable arrangements we can
cause certain quantity of its radi-
alton to be absorbed by water or
other substance and note the rise
of temperature which results, and
as we know the mechanical equiya-
lent of each degree of temperature
in water it is only matter OF cal
culation to arrive at a knowledge
of the suns total energy. Like
everything else connected with this
wonderful body, figures give US no
adequate conception of its vast en-
ergy, and various illustrations have
been used by different Investigators.
Thus Herschel considered it in
relation to the quantity of ice
which it would melt in given
time and states that the amount OF
heat which the earth receives when
the sun is overhead would melt an
inch thickness Of ice in two hours
and thirteen minutes.
From this it can be calculated
that if the body Of the sun were
entirely surrounded by sheet OF
ice on its surface of more than a
mile in thickness the suns heat
would entirely melt this coating OF
ice in the same time-namely, two
hours and thirteen minutes.
Another scientist uses an even
more striking illustration. He says
'Tf we could build up a solid col
umn of ice from the earth to the
sun two miles and a quarter in di-
ameter, spanning the uncomfortable
abyss of 100000 miles, and il
then the sun should concentrate it,
power upon it it would dissolve and
melt, not in an hour nor in min
ute, but in a single second. One
swing of the pendulum and it would
be water. Seven more seconds and
it would be dissipated in vapor."
OF course Of this enormous guam
tity of heat the earth receives but
small fraction. The rest, e1cep
what the other heavenly bodies re
ceive, passes away into space and Ii
lost forever, so far as can be ascer
tanned.
1t is by this enormous supply o.
energy that the whole world is KEEP
alive and active. It keeps US warn
and drives our steam engines ant
water wheels. 1t circulates our at
mosphere and brings US rain ant
snow. 1t grows and nourishes GU
plants and animals and, in a word
is the source of almost every earth
ly blessing.-Chicago Record-He,
