SOME EOOlI WEEDS
VALUE or ROOTS THAT HAVE
BEEN THOUGHT USELESS.
Golden Thistle May BE Used Like Sal
sIfy-Leek az Food Staple
MIX Weed Has Taste Re
sembling Asparagus.

The roots Of the golden thistle have
been found to be good. They are used
like satisfy. They may be dug In
September and kept through the win
ter. Thus what has heretofore been
regarded as a pest by the farmers
may now be looked upon as a partial
blessing.
Leek is another weed now honored
as a food staple. Il has wholesome
properties and is excellent for favor
Ing. II can be wintered In cellar,
Or II planted In large pot the leaves
may be cut as often as they get too
long to support themselves. Then.
too, the bulb may be whitfield away
from the top until Il be used up.
The common mallow is another
well known weed now being eaten. It
roots deeply, drawing valuable min
eral elements to the surface. It has
a mild mellow flavor and those who
ike lettuce find 1t palatable. The
young leaves are tender and crisp
and are prepared like lettuce. II is
a valuable tonic which the ancients
made use of constantly as a raw food.
The common milkweed, cooked.
tastes like asparagus. II should be
cut when about a foot high. The
stalk is large and succulent Boiled
and served with butter is the usual
way Of cooking. says the Scrap Book.
4 is also used as a salad, the tender
tips only being utilized. Milkweed
Is excellent for the kidneys.
Another weed which, when boiled
like spinach, makes a nourishing dish,
Is the commonly called lambs quar-
ter" II grows where large quaint
ties of loose earth have been exposed
TO the sun. as In railway filling OF
newly made country road. It has q
straight stem, from which the leaves
grow large and sparse at the bottom
and smaller and more thickly toward
the top.
The ordinary wild nettle hiatt grows
In prickly abundance In every farm
yard and fence corner Is now being
recognized In this country for the first
time as a valuable food plant. II Is
a good substitute for spinach II prop
erly cooked. or course. II SHOULD not
be used without cooking.
To use flower bulbs as vegetables
seems a strange thing. yet the dahlia
is being cultivated for its tubers.
They make a wholesome food, having
warm, spicy flavor that is much
liked. The single red variety of Dahlia
Is the one cultivated for It's tubers.

economy and sociology.
Professor Meyer is a native of Wis

of Wisconsin and the University of
Berlin, and has been an educator
since 1884, when he taught district
school in his native state. He has
been a member OF the Wisconsin rail-

WOULD SAVE ROADS BIG SUM

No man has been more in the pub
lie eye OF late than Louis ID. Brandeis.
who not long ago declared that the
railways could save 100000 a day
by proper and efficient management.
Mr.. Brandeis first came into promi-
nence in 1903. when as the head OF
the Public Franchise league Of Boston
he was involved in the struggle over
the reorganization OF the Boston gas
companies. Largely through his in
fluense legislation was put through
which permitted the unification OF the
gas companies on a unique principle.
The total capitalization Of the new
company was made the same as that
of the valuation of the securities OF
the consolidated companies. The price
OF gas was set at 90 cents a thousand
feet. On that basis the company was
allowed TO pay seven per cent. on
it's stock and one per cent. extra
for every reduction Of five cents a
thousand feet in the price OF gas. The
plan worked successfully.

had revolved in the horizontal. This
| led to further controversy until many
men OF science met TO study the
unique problem.
Many theories were advanced as TO
the cause OF the movement Of the ball.
Finally many geologists OF note and
recognized authority evolved a theory
which is generally accepted as true.
| That is:
The constant moving OF the ball
that is acceded-is due 20 the un-
equal expansion OF different parts OF
the spheres surface. AS a sphere It's
surface is presented 10 the four winds
OF heaven. and the portion OF Il 10 the
rays OF the sun would become more
highly heated than the part OF the
surface exposed TO the north and It's
cold winds. Also the surface OF the
whole would be more apt TO become
more heated during the day than
would the base upon which II rests.
as the latter is larger and heavier
than the ball itself.
Now II one part OF the ball expands
a minute quantity more than the 9th.
er with each heating Of one side. and
contracts in the same ratio on cooling
there would tend TO result a slight
creeping movement which in time
would move the ball sufficiently TO let
the change in it's position be noted by
the naked eye. Naturally the expan-
sios OF one side OF the ball would
make that side heavier than the chill.
ed side. and the heated side would
work its way toward the bottom.
The case is considered one OF the
most remarkable on record and has
furnished science with new idea
concerning the expansion and con.
traction OF solids. The conclusions of
American scientists who examined
the ball were submitted TO scientists
Of Europe All agree that the action
OF heat and cold OF the four seasons
cause the ball 10 change its position
a minute particle every day.

QUEER MOVING Ball.
Remarkable Phenomenon IN a
Marion, Ohio, Cemetery.
Great Granite Sphere Actually Turns,
and Furnishes Scientists With a
New Subject for Their vari-
Gus Theories.

Marion. ON the last few years
the attention OF scientists, and OF the
public in general. has been attracted
TO a remarkable phenomenon discov'
cred in connection with the monu-
ment TO the memory OF c. b. Mer'
chant, in the Marion cemetery.
The monument consists OF a stone
base. rough in finish. upon which is
mounted a polished granite ball. The
ball is S6 inches in diameter and
weighs 4,200 pounds.
When the ball was placed in posi-
ton in 1896 the monument builder
left but one spot OF II rough. This
was the segment OF contact with the
stone pedestal. or that part OF the ball
which rested on the supporting stone.
So thoroughly was the rest OF the ball
polished that its surface is like mir
ror. II reflects perfectly the trees and
shrubbery which surround IT,
In 1900, four years after the monu-
ment was erected. visitor 10 the
cemetery discovered that the granite
sphere had shifted It's position. In
vestigation proved that the rough spot
was no longer in contact with the ped
estal. Repeated efforts on the part
OF cemetery employees failed TO re-
turn the ball to its former position.
Those who attempted the task real.
ized that the ball had not been turned
by human hands. At first its move
ment was ascribed TO the motion OF
earth. This was the commonly ac-
cepted theory until newspaper reports
called the attention OF scientists TO
the phenomenon.
Men of science from the Ohio uni
versities made special trips TO Marion
TO study the problem. AS the story
of the ball was spread scientific men
from universities further away came
to study the ball.
When the first professor OF physics
looked at the sphere the rough spot
on the ball was about half way up
toward its top as IL rested on the
pedestal. He took a photograph OF
the ball in that position, the rough
spot designating that the ball was
moving In the vertical circle.
The next scientist who took a pic
ture OF the ball showed II In n differ
ent position. The ball had turned in
part in the vertical circle and then
