T0MBS OF THE PHARAOHS.
The Precautions Taken to Guard

Inc ingenuity displayed by the an

from breaking into the pharaobic

ment, in a work on the sarcophagus
of khafra, the builder of the second
Gizeh pyramid. who reigned in Egypt
some 5000 years ago.
The lid of the red granite sarcoph-
a%us was dOvetailed with minute
precision into the receptacle. To pre-
Vent the cover from being drawn back
the Egyptian builders bored two holes
in the lid at the edge. not showing
above. These cOrreSpOnded exactly
with two similar holes less deep than
the other two. sunk in the front of the
receptacle. Two copper bolts were then
placed in the lid holes, and at the mo-
ment the sarcaphagus was fully closed
the holes met and the bolts dropped
in position from the upper holes partly
into the lower. thus making it impos-
Sible to move the lid.
II uiuSI nave Struck the Egyptian
engineers that grave robbers might
get at the body by turning the sarcoph-
agus upside down, in which case the
bolts would glide back into their orig
inal position and permit the lid being
drawn out. To prevent this they filled
the lower holes with wax and made
the bolts hot. Upon the lids being
placed in position the bolts melted
their way into the wax and upon cool
ing became so firmly fixed that moth
ing short of complete destruction could
open the royal tomb.
1t must have been a herculean labor
to hew the whole edge away, but that
is what grave Decorators did, and the
wax can still be seen in the bore holes.

ROOSevelt'S Democracy.

For years the great moneyed
interests have controlled the tar
if legislation, the railroad and
transportation legislation, and
the disposition of our public re-
sources. These matters the peo-
pie have seen and have recorded
their complaints. The Republi-
can party, intrusted with power
for so many years by the people,
made it's promises, broke them,
and during the last election reap
ed its reward. Is the Democrat
ic party going to profit by it's ex-
ample, or is it going to meet the
same fate? Time will answer.
Millions of acres of the pub
lie domain have been given away
to the great trunk railroads for
modicum of their value Public
franchises in our cities and NUM-
cipalities have been surrenderel
to public service corporations
without money and without
price. Tariff duties have been
prescribed by law beyond the
real needs of industry, thereby
permitting the favored industries
to control the markets and exact
from consumers in excess of
every cost and reasonable profits.
The Republican party has
gone so far in writing schedules
prepared by the manufacturers
themselves into the statutes that
they not only control the home
market, but manufacture and
sell American goods, made out of
American material, by American
labor in the foreign markets
cheaper than they sell them to
their neighbors in the home mar
ket. Theodore Roosevelt in
New Haven speech.

AN ALL AROUND ORDEAL.
When Papa Was Getting Ready to At
tend a Banquet.


Papa was going to a banquet. 1t
was unusual for him to attend ban
quets-so unusual, in fact. that the
children had boosted of it for week
to all who would hear.
Now it was the night of the ban
quet. and papa was getting ready. and
the once quiet and orderly house was
much upset.

same time committing a speech to
memory I'm case he should be called
upon for something impromptu.
The tiny trickles of blood down his
chin showed where the speech was
getting the better part of his atten-

dress clothes. He hadn't worn the
dress clothes for two years and was

'Confound the shirt howled papa.

saw papa struggle into his coat. The
stiff shirt rose almost to his ears. and
a high collar nearly sawed them off.
"Doggone it, walled papa. "The

BALANCED RATI0NS

ing plenty of clover. wheat bran and
wheat middlings. As a result the white
of the egg is thick and attractive.

THE SPITBALL.
1t Takes Great Strength and Speea; 60
Pitch Ii Properly.

Describing the spitball in baseball
and the way it is pitched. Hugh S.
Fullerton in the American Magazine
says:
There came into baseball in 1908
ball which came near revOlutionizing
the game and brought Il new era of
pitching. made great pitchers out of
'has-beens' and poor hitters out of once
mighty sluggers.
THE ball is pitched with two, some
times with three. fingers held on one
side of the ball and with the thumb or
tip of the thumb and nail being grip
ped hard against the seam at the
opposite side of the sphere. The top of
the ball is made slippery at the point
of contact with the fingers. so that the
sphere slides off the fingers with the
minimum of friction, while the thumb.
pressed hard against the seam, gives
the maximum of friction. the result
being that the ball, leaving the hand.
takes heavy English from the thumb
and starts revolving rapidly in the d.
rection opposite to that ia which it
WOuIu therefore i
whirls rapidly for a short distance I'M
til the natural but suspended motion
of the ball Overcomes the false Eng
lish' applied by the thumb and a con-
test between the natural and unnatural
forces ensues. The ball ceases revoly-
ing unnaturally and floats and wabbles
until the natural twist Overcomes the
false one, and then the ball darts lust
as it would have done if it had been
curved naturally. shooting in the direc-
ton in which the heaviest friction was
applied. spitball if pitched direct
ly overland darts almost straight
downward, and if pitched side arm
with the thumb toward the body it
shoots outward and down as a fast
outcurve does. the quickness and speed
of the break depending entirely upon
the amount of force with which il
is thrown and in ratio to the amount
OF friction applied by the thumb or
lack of friction by the fingers. Great
strength and speed are essential to the
best pitching of this kind of ball.

ALLIGATORS' NESTS.
They Resemble Hsystacks and Are
Natural incubators.

An alligatOrS' nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. wild ALI
gators build their nests on the bank of
Il river or in marShy places. They are
made of mud. saw grass and leaves
and mold. They are sort of natural
incubatOrs, for the eggs, which are
laid from thirty-five to eighty in a
nest at one time, are Matched out by
the steam which comes up through the
mud as much as by the sun. Around
the nest a pile of grass is laid, some
times as high as six feet, and from a
distance resembles a stack of hay
The mother gator has her den near
by. She makes it by burrOwing into
a bank of soft mud, and sometimes it
is seventy feet or more inland The
only way TO get her out of a den like
that is TO take Il long steel rod and
thrust it down the tunnel. which is al
ways Slanting. When the gator feels
the prOdding she will come out TO see
what the trouble is.
1T takes alligator eggs two months
and six days to hatch. When the little
ones come out the mother calls them
together by Il noise which is something
between cluck and IA grunt. and they
all scramble down from the nest to her
den. If it is on the edge of river
the den is filled with minnOws. AS the
mother enters the den she swishes her
tail around with terrific force. killing
the smallest fish, and when they float
the little alligatorS nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five dens. and she takes
her brood from one to another. repeat
ing the swishing process in each one
until the young ones have had full
meal. Harriet Quimby in Leslie's.
