BUCKET SHOPS
Suppression of the Business Determined
by the Government.

Washington, May o.-The complete
suppression of the bucket shop" bust
ness throughout the United States is
sought by the Department of Justice.
Prosecutions already started are to be
continued with unremitting vigilance.
I'VE have plan to put all the bucket
shops out of business, and that too with
out additional legislation by Congress, .
said an official of the department.
Just what are the plans of the govern
ment to accomplish this end was not
stated, but officials declared the state
ment was not thoughtlessly made. The
cleaning UP work in the east has already
been Systematically begun and number
of indictments have been returned.
More are promised as a result of the in
vestigations by the local grand jury the
past few days, After the department is
through with the east, operations will
be begun at Chicago and working from
that center it expects to conduct pro-
ceedings in such manner as to break
up any business radiating from that
place. That feature of the traffic which
includes the sending out of alluring lit
erature is one which probably will re-
ceiye the serious attention of the prose-
cutting officials, in which case the postal
laws will be invoked as an instrumental
ity in its suppression.

Eve,s Apple Tree.

A fruit supposed to bear the
mark of Ewes teeth is one of the
many botanical curiosities of Cey-
lon. The tree on which it grows is
known by the significant name of
"the forbidden fruit" or 'FEve's ap-
pie tree" The blossom has a very
pleasant scent, but the really re-
markable feature of the tree, the
one to which it owes its name, is
the fruit. 1t is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep
crimson within, each fruit has the
Of having had a piece
bitten out of it. This fact, togeth-
er with its poisonous quality, led
the Mohammedans to represent it
as the forbidden fruit of the garden
of Eden and to warn men against
its nonous properties.

WAGON BECAUSE IT ,WAGs.
Both Words Came From Aryan Root.
Meaning ITO Move.'


In the first book of riddles ever
written was the conundrum, "Why
is a tollgate like a dead dogs tail ?
Because it stops a wagin."
Atrocious as appears the pun
that tries to juggle with wagon"
and "wagging," it is really better
than the writer of the atrocity and
the casual reader ever knew, for
wagon" and "wagging" re iden-
tical and are children of : long line
of hoDored ancestry.
1t is the motion that I axes them
alike, and this idea Of motion dates
far back to the days when the
Aryan languages, now reaching
from the east coast of India to the
west coast of the United States,
we're one tongue in the beginning
of its formation.
The root from which they grew
is "wagh," and one meaning of it is
the same as our "wag," as it signi-
fies going from side to side, to move,
to carry, to pass over and turning
from one point to another.
This root lies at the foundation
of our word sway" whether we use
it as a road, or path, or distance, or
direction 1t is what we move over,
or the direction we move, or the
distance we move. Even if we want
our own "way," it is the manner in
which we see fit to move. In our
"wagon" it is the thing that moves
and in the dogs tail the sort Of
motion.
All similar words come to our
English more directly through the
Teutonic base "wega," which means
both a way and to wag. When the
root went into the Sanskrit the "w"
got the "v" sound, so our East In
dian brothers say "vah" for carry
and call road vehicle and a horse
all "vaha."
In the Latin 1T became wi" +"
which we use for way and through
which we get our "viaduct" and
vehicle" !"
In all of the words in all of the
various languages into which
"wagh" has gone there is always the
idea of the thing that moves, the
path over which it moves or the
manner of its motion.-New York

Msnoka Fruit Of Malay Archipelago.

The fruit called mangka in the
Malay archipelago hangs on short
stems and grows directly out of the
thicker woody parts of the tree,
which, to begin with, is a surprising
sight to US north country men.
Often in the leatherlike rind of the
fruit are found hundreds of seeds
about the size of pigeons egg sur
rounded by a not particularly ten
der mesocarp. Many are the opin-
ions about the flavor of this latter.
1t seems to me peculiar and aro-
matte. The people of Java and
Malaysia appear to be very fond of
it, judging by the quantities of this
fruit consumed. The wood of the
mangka tree is also greatly esteem
ed. The root especially is utilized
for wood carving At first rather
pale, it later resembles mahogany
in color.-New York Herald.

An EGG Test.

Placed in bowl of water an egg
if fresh will remain resting at the
bottom of the vessel; if not quite
fresh it will rest with the big end
raised higher than the small end,
and the higher the big end is raised
the older is the egg. AS an egg
gets older, says the Spatula, the
water contained in the white of an
egg evaporates, and this causes the
empty space at the thick end Of
every egg to become enlarged. The
larger that empty space becomes
the more the egg rises in the water
till in course of time it floats.

WE MUST GROW OLD.
Problem That Has Tormentkd Men OF
Science Is Still Unsolved.


Science Is Still UnsoIved.
Every living being of adult age
begins to grow old. In the case of
man the weight of years makes
itself felt more or less heavily. 1t
is a matter of heredity and of good
hygiene. But, although certain per-
sons are old before their time. there
are none who, having reached GER
tain age, are not old. Old age is a
physiologic state.
1t would seem that if we could
penetrate the mechanism of old age
we ought to be able to retard its
effects and to remain young for
correspondingly longer time. The
alchemists sought long to solve this
problem, and it has always torment
ed scientific men. The ancients
thought that by infusing into an
old mans veins the blood of youth
new vigor might be given to him.
They tried such TRANSMISSION of
blood, but without success, as it is
scarcely necessary to say. We find
in various authors a proof of the
antiquity of this process. In mod
ern times we have taken it up
again, but in totally different
class of cases. The TRANSMISSION Of
blood cannot postpone the effects
of old age on the organs.
The living being takes from his
environment the substances neces-
sary for the performance of his
functions. He transforms them,
assimilates them and excretes them
after he has finished with them. In
culture of microbes the waste
substances accumulate and are one
of the causes of the aging of the
microbes. Transport some of these
microbes into fresh bouillon and
they will take on new activity. They
will become young again.
In more complex organisms life
may be reduced essentially to the
same physicochemical changes, with
more complex machinery of co-or-
dination and elimination. The
waste materials, more or less COM
pletely oxidized, are eliminated
through natural channels. When
the activity of the organs is such
that the elimination is not rapid
enough there is a alton of ia
tigue, need of rest and sleep. Dur
ing rest and sleep the changes are
slower. the waste is eliminated, the
sensation of fatigue is felt no
longer until new efforts bring it on
again. But there are insoluble sub
stances of the nature of tendon or
bone which are continually formed
during the working of the organism
and which are either not eliminated
at all or are eliminated Incomplete
ly during repose. They progressive
ly clog the organism and are the
cause Of old age.
AS is remarked by lie Dantec,
who is the author of this hypothe-
sis, the muscles of old animals are
much more cartilaginous because of
this accumulation of tendinous sub
stances, but it is not generally in
the muscles that this incrustment
becomes injurious to the organism.
The effect on the walls of the blood
vessels is more dangerous, because
these vessels, becoming fragile,
may break. EVERY one," it is said,
"is as old as his arteries From
