Jobs Wealth and That Of Gen.
Tarv.sZ1S


In The Course of a recent review
Of the second volume Of DR.. Gins
berg's Legends Of the Jews" occurs
this statement
"Rabbinic fancy is exuberant. We
are gravely told how Job had 130,-
900 sheep with 500 dogs as guardians,
besides 200 Watchdogs for his house.
He had 100000 asses and $500 pairs
of oxen. His b~enevolence was IN
limited, and ships were employed to
carry supplies to the cities and dwell
lings of the destitute."
No Wonde the reviewer regarded
all this as a~pocryphal; yet it is by no
means necessarily Sd. For II we are
to credit the newspaper accounts OF
the possessions of Mexico richest
citizen" Gen. Luis T~errazas Of Chi
huahua, Job was only in the second
class Of the worlds great landed pro-
p%rietors. This man-whose wealth.
by the way, was not inherited-is the
father-in-law of Senior Don Enrique
Creel. late Mexican minister to the
United States. According to one of
the latest newspaper reports. his hold
ings in the State of Chihuahua alone

disappeared before Christ was born.
1t was destroyed by observation-disclosures.
596 3. c., and a new building was not
erected until the Jews came back
from their captivity at Babylon. This
was also destroyed many years later
and a third n last temple was erect
ed by HerOd the Great eighteen years
before Christ was born. 1t was in
that temple that occurred the scenes
Of Christ's ministry. 1t was there
that He talked with the priests as a
boy of twelve, and from there tie
drove out the money changers.
The Temple of Herod Is said to
have been much finer han SolomOn,s.
1t has been described by Josephus,
who probably had a ground plan OF
the building before him when he
wrote. and who says hat the space
which it covered was about twice as
large as that of the old tenple. It
was of much the same style as the
Temple of Solomon, but its approaches
were more imposing, and 1t probably
displayed all the architectural beau
ties Of the time which was one Of
magnificent buildings.

Thanl1less Advice.

Instruction in politeness to the
general mob of passengers Is never
well received and never will be-.
Politeness begins at home. You
cannot instill it into man over 20
who serves the public, as he soon
acquires a supreme contempt for his
betters. People laughed at Cath
crime of Russia for prohibiting lad
les from getting drunk at her
levees, and gentlemen from actually
striking ladies at those functions.
But that insufferable prig, Lord
Chesterfield, far uutdid the power
ful Empress. IN me of his letters
he tells his son: After blowing
your nose in company, do not look
at the handkerchief. In the
American Chesterfield" the Yam
KEGS are admonished not 10 spit on
the carpet.

towns lately about Mothers Day."
Several Kansas editors are now ''hol-

means. Give the old man his chance
at the bat. Let him cavort in his ten
dollar hand-me-down suit, his last
summers straw hat and his bargain
counter brogans. OF course he looks
pretty bum in that raiment alongside
of daughter with her $25 inverted
-four barrel top piece, her $50 gown
with the waist at the knees, her
French heeled patent pumps and the
rest of the stuff that goes with glad
feminine decorations. But he is
Dad" nevertheless. Ma" with her
500 clubs, her bridge parties, her pink
teas and her cut glass society will GER

aged citizen who came near getting
into trouble recently through trick
of zone of them picter takin' ma
Chimes" as he called it.
The old man was seated on the
front porch, when his niece, who
was visiting with him, took his pic
ture. After he had gone downtown
the hired girl seated herself in the
chair and had her picture taken also.
Unfortunately, also, something
went wrong with the film, and when
the picture was developed it showed
the old man seated in the chair with
the hired girl on his lap.
When his wife was shown the
picture that evening without being
apprised as to the trick she lost her
temper and things were looking de-
cidedly blue for her helpmate until
explanation was made.--Chicago In

The Intelligent Trout.

A correspondent says that when fish
ing in a small river lately he hooked
O small trout. After a little / man
aged to pull him free and he came
along the surface side up toward the
landing net without further resistance.
Finding the line little too long | be-
gan to reel in, carelessly allowing the
rod to drop almost to the straight
when the fish, then only foot or two
from the shelving shore, suddenly re-
covered his wind.
"The water was but two or three
inches deep at the spot, quite still and
clear, with one or two small patches
of surface grass on it. Instantly the
trout rushed at one OF these patches
and seized the grass in his mouth,
holding on for all he was worth and
defying me to drag him free. then
put the net under him and lifted i'm
out with the bit of weed stuck in his
teeth"

ence of the body, just forward of the
high dorsal fin. measured 15 feet.
The fearful mouth of this voracious
monster was 1-2 feet wide horizon

tip of snout to point of lower jaw.
So large was the mouth when open

In which to sit comfortably.
After being killed the monster was
carefully skinned, stuffed, and placed
on exhibition at Los Angeles. Suisse
quently, the shark was purchased by
an eastern museum.
When ripped open, the sharks ca

The sharks of southern waters are

A GOOD SCHOOL.

The School of Mines and Metal
lurgy of The Pennsylvania State Col
lege is now in the 18th year of it's
existence, having been established
in 1893. 1t was reorganized in 1908
when two new and distinct courses
were offered, leading to the degrees
of b. S. in Mining Engineering and
Metallurgical Engineering.
First class instruction is now be-
ing given in Mining, Metallurgy,
Geology and Mineralogy. Coal min
ing, coke making and the metalmrgy
of iron and steel are given particu-
lar emphasis, especially with regard
to the methods employed in the
mines and metallurgical plants of
Pennsylvania. The object is to train
men in Mining and Metallurgy and
so equip them that they may render
the most efficient service in the short
est possible period after entering en-
ployment.
The purchase of a small concen-
trating plant completes the equip
ment in the four-room laboratory
now devoted to the treatment of coal
and ores. Special apparatus for the
treatment of coal will be installed in
the near future.
A 1OOO-lb cyanide plant is now be-
ing assembled in the Metallurgical
laboratories, which, with a shipment
of to 10 tons of gold ore, recently
received, makes the extraction of
this metal particularly interesting
and instructive.
Further equipment along the line
of powder drills, mine cages, cars
and car wheels, and parts of mining
machinery are being constantly add
ed.
Adequate facilities for the deter
mination of minerals by blow-pipe
and other tests have been provided
in the meteorological laboratory
where a large working collection of
minerals is available for student
use.
The recently furnished mining
museum in which are working models
of a mine, a breaker and a coke
plant, and a collection of paint clays,
clay products, ores and minerals, all
representing the industries of the
State, is not only very complete but
is probably among the best of such
exhibits in the United States.
The School is extending its in
fuence to allied industries in the
State in extension work which is now
under way or being undertaken.
This extension work consisting OF
free lectures, first aid, mine rescue
work, etc, all of which it is hoped
will not only benefit the mining in
dustries but will be of material ad-
vantage TO the students of the school,

Did you ever notice how foolish

noticed that lots OF peop'e put their
money in and get no return.
Anyway the machines often
don't work when the person who is
trying for chewing gum is in hur-

next persCn who comes along is apt
to get two pieces of chewing gum

try the slot machines in the hope

THE BOAST OF ARcHlMEDEs.
Something About His Scheme foI
Moving the Earth.


Men are apt to think we are pretty
smart in this twentieth century-and
so we are, for we have all the achieve
ments OF the men of the past to work
on as foundation. Yet seldom do we
stop to think how much we owe to
these ancients. Archimedes, who lived
in Sicily about three centuries before
Christ, was the greatest of the old
mathematicians. He discovered a
number OF important principles and
some of his demonstrations are SO
abstruse that they puzzle the most ac.
complished mathematicians of this
day to understand.
II was Archimedes who in his en-
thusiasm at discovering certain for.
mulas relating to the power OF levers
declared that he would, single-handed
and alone, lift the earth, provided
some one would give him a fulcrum
to rest his lever on. Theoretically this
would be perfectly possible. That is
to say, no amount of work is too great
for a given power to perform pro
Vided sufficient time is allowed for It.
Time, power and work are thus all
linked together. BY increasing the
power you can do a certain amount
OF work in less time, and so on. Prob.
ably Archimedes did not know how
much the earth weighed and so he did
not figure out how long it would take
him to lift it with his lever. But now
the earth's mass has been ascertained
and a mathematician named Montucla
has calculated that If Archimedes had
worked necessarily, without stopping
to eat, drink or sleep, lifting 116
pounds a foot every second (more
than any man could do it would still
have taken him over three billion cen.
turies to have moved the earth a sin
gle inch! That would indeed have
been going some" as the current ex-
preston is.
It was Archimedes who discovered
that any body of matter when placed
in water, for instance, displaces
quantity of water exactly equal to its
own weight. This great fact struck
him while he was in the bath one day,
as he noticed how the water rose in
the tub when he went into it. He was
so oyerjoyed at the discovery of the
principle he had so long been search
ing for that he ran naked into the
street shouting his celebrated "Eure-
ka!" meaning in Greek 81 have found
it." This principle enabled him to
detect just how much alloy a gold
smith had fraudulently added to the
gold in crown he had made for King
Hero.
Many other interesting anecdotes
are told of Archimedes. One is that
he set fire to an enemy's fleet by
means of a powerful burning-glass.
Modern scientists doubt that such a
thing could be done, but the ancient
did many things which the moderns
have not been able to repeat. When
at last a besieging army did capture
the city of Syracuse, where Archi-
mede lived, the invaders found an old
man working out theorem in geome-
try by means of figures drawn in the
sand. AS a Roman soldier rushed on
him he cried out, Don't spoil my cir
cle!" and with these words he died.

Education.

The class in very elementary chem.
istry was having one of its early ses'
sions. The matter of sea-water came
up. Peters" said the teacher, "can
you tell me what is it that makes ths
water Of the sea so salty?"
Salt" said Peters.
Next" said the teacher, What is
it makes the water Of the sea so
salty?"
The salty quality OF the sea-water," "
answered Next" 'is due to the ad'
mixture OF a SUFFICIENT quantity OF
chlorid OF sodium to impart to the
aqueous fluid with which 1t com.
mingles a saline flavor, which is read
fly recognized by the organs of taste!"
Right, Next" said the teacher. &c
