THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of Its Adoption as an Emblem
NV the Turks:

Legend Of It's Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out Of memory. In ancient my
thology it decorated the foreheads of
Diana and of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Rome's greatest
glory the ladies wore it as an orna-
ment in their hair.
Since the foundation Of CONSTANT
nople, the ancient Byzantium, it has
been the emblem of the city and as
such adorns it's walls and public build
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage. The legend which
accounts for its universal adoption in
Turkey, and Constantinople in par
%tjcular. is as follows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 3. c. He chose a
night Of unusual darkness for the pro
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
a cloud. In commemoration Of this
providential d%eliverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The Mohammedan sultans We're slow
to assume this emblem until some one
mentioned that it was the symbol of
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases of the moon.

Business letter writing is no longer

THEY EAT NO BREAD.
Places Where the Poorer People Havs
to Use Substitutes.

There are regions wherein the poor
er ,lasses or %pe;santry eat little or no
bread. Baked lolves of bread are
prat tically unknown in many parts OF
southern Austria and Italy and
thro !yllout the agricultural districts Of
Rou.nania.
1t is said that in the village of the
Obersteiermark, not. far from Vienna,
bread is never seen, the staple food
being sterZ, IL kind of porridgc made
from ground beech nuts, taken at
breakfast With fresh or curuled milk,
at dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper. This dish
is also known as heiden and takes the
place Of bread not only in the Aus
trian district named, but in Carinthia
and in many parts Of the Tyrol.
In northern Italy the peasants affect
a substitute for bread called polenta,
a porridge made of boiled grain. Po-
lenta is not, however, allowed to
7granulate," like Scotch porridge or
like the Austrian sterz. but is boiled
into a solid pudding, which is cut up
and portioned out with a string. 1t is
eaten cold as often as it is hot and is
in every sense the Italians daily
bread.
\ variation of polenta called mama
liga is said to be the favorite food Of
the poorer classes in Roumania. Ma
malaga is like polenta in that it IS
made of boiled grain, but it is unlike
the latter in one important respect
the grains are not allowed to settle
into a solid mass, but are kept dis
tinct. after the fashion Of oatmeal
porridge.-New York Herald.

News Of the Week From vaTl-
Gus Parts Of the State.
GRAIN GROWERS MAKE KICK
object to Federal Law as Applied to
Wheat-DecIare They Are
Being Cheated.

Are the grain growers of the
United States being made the
victims of the federal law, which
provides that the millers can bring in
wheat and grind 1t under
bond? The farmers of North Dakota
say so, and further assert they can
prove it. They declare they not only
are being cheated out of 25 cents per
bushel in this manner, but also that
the increased volume of grain through
the importation of the millers is still
further used to depress the market
and lower the value of their products,
The grain growers had their suspi.
cfons aroused through the fall in the
price of wheat during the last few
weeks. An examination of the wheat
supply of this country and elsewhere
showed there was nothing to cause the
depression.
The grain growers say a further in.
vestigation showed a considerable
amount of grain was being brought in
under bond from Canada, ostensibly to
furnish employment for the mills OF
this country.
This led to a closer scrutiny of the
law on the subject. 1t Is asserted
there is no provision in the federal
regulations as to when this -four from
bonded wheat must be returned to
Canada. It may be done in a month
or in ten years. The growers further
say the millers, by not being forced
to put up the actual duty, but merely
a bond, can bring the grain over sell
1t, and later, if wheat is cheaper, they
can send back flour from cheaper
grains.
1t is insisted by the grain growers
they are caught in two ways by this
method. Millers not only get wheat
Afor flour 25 cents less a bushel, but
by the Importation increase the vol.
m of wheat in this country and force
down the price.
The growers will insist on an amend
ment by which millers will be required
to put up the Is cents duty in real
money, and that this will be forfeited
provided the flour is not shipped back
to Canada within ninety days. The
growers say this will be sufficient pro-
lection for legitimate milling purposes
and will kill of speculation. !.

COMPRESSED ICE.
Sinks In Water and crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.

Sinks In. Water and crumbIes Into
Powder When Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice will float.
This relative lightness Of ice with re-
spect to water is due to expansion Of
the water at the moment of freezing.
If water is frozen under immense
pressure it seems that this expansion
is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter. is produced.
G. Tamman has prepared this modi-
%flcation, which he calls Ice ILL.,, as
follows: He compressed water to 5000
Kilograms N,G14 pounds) and cooled
it in solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally in liquid air. Under these con-
ditions IL colorless, transparent ice Is
formed. 1t is much denser than Ordi-
nary ice and heavier than water; o II
sequently it sinks when placed In wa
ter. Ice III. is very unstable. and on
slight warming it swells out and
breaks up into a dense white powder.
The volume Of the resulting powder
Is apparently four to eight times that
Of the original ice. This powder form
ed by the breaking up Of the dense
form is nothing more than ordinary
ice in the form Of fine crystals, which,
of course, on further warming melt at
zero degrees centigrade.
Experiments on Ice III. show that it
is impossible to obtain IL by separa-
ton from water at atmospheric pres
sur and then suddenly cooling. There
would never be a possibility Of this
unstable form of solid water being
formed in nature.-New York Tribune.
