Wild ncns of Asia.

The whole tribe of wild dogs, which
in closely allied forms are to be found
in the widest iungles and woods of
Asia, from the Himalayas to Ceylon
and from China to the Taurus
the golden wolves OF the Roman en-
pire are now extinct in the forests of
Asia Minor-show an individual and
corporate courage which entities them
to ii high place among the most dar-
ing of wild creatures. The red dogs"
TO give them their most characteristic
name, are neither large in size nor do
they assemble in large packs. Those
which have been from time to time
measured and described seem to aver
age some three feat in length from the
nose to the root of the tail. The pack
seldom numbers more than nine or
ten. yet there is sufficient evidence that
they are willing and able to destroy
any creature that inhabits the jungle,
except the adult elephant and perhaps
the rhinoceros, creatures whose great
size and leathery hide make them al
most invulnerable to such enemies as
doSs.-London Spectator.

London's Biz Ben.

Why is the large bell in the tower
of the house of parliament in London
called Big Ben? The average London
er himself seems to have no idea how
it got its name When the building
was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had n
great deal TO do with carrying out the
plans of the architects, being high
commissioner Of public works, and his
coworkers appreciated the fact that to
him the city of London was largely in
debted. So when the question came
up in parliament as to the name of the
enormous bell that was to be hung in
the tower member shouted, why
not call it Big Benz This suggestion
was received with much applause as
well as with roars of laughter, for Sir
Benjamin was an enormous man, both
in height and girth, and had often been
called Big Ben. From that day on
the bell whose peal every Londoner
knows has been known only rs Big
Ben.-Harpers Weekly.

The Rarha rous Suitee.

Suttee. or the practice of immolat-
ing widows on their husbands funeral
pyres in India. was first attacked by
the British government In 1929. Ii
was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord
William Bentinck carried a resolution
in council by which all who aDetted
suttee were declared guilty Of 'culpa-
BILE homicide In the year 1917 100
widows were burned alive in Bengal
alone, but since the passing of the act
the practice has entirely died out.
Suttee was really primitive rite. a
survival from barbarous times, and
not sanctioned by Hindooism. the pas
sage In the Vedas supporting it being
u wlllful mistranslation. But no pre-
vious governor had the courage to vio-
la . the British tradition of religious
liberation. Lord William Bentinck
also suppressed thuggism, which made
strangling a religious rite To the god
dess Kali.

seem to be un'yiny in straight lines,
some IL one direction and some in an

With a Grain of Salt.

The earliest record of the saying
with grain of salt" dates back to the
year G3 b. c., when the great POmpey
entered the palace of NIithridates and
discovered among his private papers
the description of an antidote against
pOisons Of all sorts, which was COM
posed of pounded herbs. These, ac-
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
with Il grain of salt Whether this
was meant seriously or as warning
sarcasm Is not known, but thenceforth
1t became the custom to say that
doubtful preparations should be taken
with q grain Of salt From this the
meaning got transferred to sayings Of
doubtful truth. Attic SALT was a
Greek synonym for wit or penetration,
and the Latin word "sap had some
what of the same meaning. 1t is thus
easy to see how the saying cum
grano sails" could have come to mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements with a grain OF
salt"

GLYCERlN.
In Many Ways 1t Is Most Remark
able Substance.

able Substance.
One OF the great advantages Of glyc-
erin in It's chemical employment is the
fact that 1t neither freezes nor evapo-
rates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptihle loss by evaporation has
been detected at temperature less
than 200 degrees f.. but if heated In
tensely it decompoSes with a smell that
few persons find themselves able to en-
dure. 1t burns with pale flame, SIM
liar to that from alcohol, If heated to
about 300 degrees and then ignted.
Its nonevaporative qualities make the
compound of much use as Il vehicle for
holding pigments and colors. as in
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for q
long time to a freezing temperature it
crystallizes with the appearance Of
sugar candy; but. these crystals being
once melted. 1t is almost an impossible
ity to get them again into the CONCEAL
ed state. If little water be added to
the glycerin no crystalliZation will take
place, though under Il sufficient degree
Of cold the water will separate and
form crystals. amid which the glycerin
will remain in It's natural state of fluid
ity. If suddenly subjected to intense
cold pure Glycerin will form n gummy
mass which cannot be entirely harden
ed or crystalliZed. Altogether it Is
quite q peculiar substance.

Cause of Twilioht,

Twilight is u phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not i'm
mediately plunged into the darkness Of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon, rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun is so far below the horizon that
the refracting power of the atmos-
phere is no LONGER able to bend the
rays enough to produce Il visible eff
feet. The time after sunset that the
sun reaches such position varies with
the latitude of the place. There Is less
twilight at the tropic zone than at the
temperate or frfgid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere, at the
tropic zone the SUMS rays being per-
pendicular and at the temperate and
frlgid zones oblique.-New York Amer

First Address for Defense in
Hyde Murder Trial.

Kansas City, May 13.-Jurors wept
when Attorney Frank P Walsh de,
livered the first closing address in be,
half of DR.. B. c. Hyde on trial for the
alleged poisoning of Colonel Thomas
H. Swope. Tears unchecked rolled
down the cheeks of Jurors w. c. Crone
and William Beebe.
Much of the first hour of Mr..
Walsh's speech was devoted to de-
nouncing the state for intimatinS that
Mrs. Hyde lied on the witness stand
in order to save her husbands life.
This statement, he said, practically
painted the defendants wife as an &C.
complete OF her husband in crimes the
state AYERS he committed. me atlor-
ney spoke several times of the awful
ness of taking the doctor from his
wife's side to choke him to death
like dog on the gallows."
Members of the Swope family and
other persons who testified for the
state, charged the speaker, had twist.
ed their testimony to suit the needs OF
the prosecution. The whole case in
fact, he said, was based upon sus.
picions, rumors and conjectures.
