WHEN THE HORSE WON'T PULL
Giving Team a Tow 10 Not So Com.
mon In Summer az In
Winter.

Winter Is the time when most com.
monty one driver helps out another,
when the going is bad with heavy
snow, but such help may also be ex.
tended In summer occasionally, when
the going Is all right, and q team has
been exhausted by the heat This was
such case. but 1t had complications.
Here was small double truck with
n load that weighed perhaps a ton,
scarcely more than that, and a pair
OF horses not the best pdir in town,
but a team that could easily haul the
load; but now here was this team
halted. while ahead driver was turn.
Ing the horses Of his truck back to
the truck that was halted. to give that
truck life. an unusual sight for the
season.
What was the matter? Why couldn't
that team with comparatively light
load on get away with 1t without help?
The explanation was simple
One of the horses In the stalled
team has n mind of his own. You
couldn't call him balky horse nor
Is he horse that lies down on the
job. and yet there comes times when
he won't pull, and when you can't
make him, as on Il day and In n place
like this. On hot hard day when he
gets hot and sweaty and tired he may
make up his mind to stop for time
and then he does stop and you can't
start him. lie wants rest and
lie insists on taking 1t. but when he
has rested that way for 10 or Is min
utes he'll put his mech into the collar
again and go OH.
lie had stopped like this and the
place where he had now stoppci was
little up grade, but this time he
didn't stop as long as usual for this

soon the traffic policeman got the out

give the stalled truck line. and when
the line had been made fast and the
towing truck started up both horses

While most people are sorry for

LIahtnlna Rod Investigation.

There has always been more or less
controversy as to the efficiency Of the
lightning rod, but this mater Is likely
to be settled at no distant time be-
yond all question of doubt. The au.
thorities Of the University OF Illinois
have undertaken to do this and have
been at work on the problem for some
time. Last summer some valuable
experiments were conducted but the
results were not entirely satisfactory
for the lack of suitable apparatus.
During the coming summer the work
Will be continued on very elaborate
basis The use OF an open field has
been secured for the entire zeason
and the investigation will be contin.
ued during the entire season in which
thunder storms may be reasonably
expected. In this field twelve 40.foot
poles have been erected. Six OF
these are equipped with devices for
registering tho effect of lightning
strokes at or near the poles. There
Is n series of spark gaps with Undue.
tion, resistance and capacity ngures,
so that the lightning may jump across
the gaps or pass aro"nd thpmgh
shunt circuits. Any action due to
lightning will be recorded on NOV
Ing strip Of paper driven by clock
work so that the exact time OF the
electrical discharge can be told from

been equipped with sharp needle

TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
Two Methods That Result In Pictures
Which closeIy Resemble Good
Steel EnpravInps.

Here is a way to take Impressions
OF plants which will resemble steel en-.
cravings. Two OF them, in fact: take
your choice.
The first method is to take half a
sheet OF fine woven paper and cover
It's surface with sweet oil; let Il stand
moment or two. rub of the super.
huous oil and hang It in the air. When
1t iS fairly dry, move It slowly over
the flame OF candle, lamp or gas
burner (caution) until II is quite
black. lay the plant or leaf on Il.
place clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half a minute; then take I'D the
plant and place II on the paper on
which 1t is desired to loave an impress.
sion. Cover II with a piece OF blot
tlnB paper and rub as before. The
engraving.like impression will then
appear.
BY the second method, burn a com.
mon cork until II Ia reduced to q
powder, add a teaspoonful OF olive oil
and mix into thick paste. Next
paint the under side OF the leaf with
camerb hair brush, lay the leaf care
fully, painted sido down. upon pieco
