rotary birds travel in pairs, male and
female. If disturbed or pursued their
pace is about as fast as that of run
ming horse They seldom use their
wings and if compelled to do so can
soar to a considerable height. They
build bulky nests. and where trees are
to be had they select one fifty to a
hundred feet above the ground. Their
nests are built of sticks and sods, lined
with grass. and measure as much as
five feet in diameter and three feet in
thickness. AS a rule only two eggs are
laid. Incubation takes six weeks,

ISAIAH SOCIETY REPORTER,
ASSERTS CHICAGO RABBI.
Could Describe Women's Attire as
Well as Fashion Expert.

The prophet Isaiah. who lived 70i
years before the birth Of Christ, was.
in the estimation OF Rabbi Emil G..
Hlrsch Of Sinai temple, Chicago. one
of the best society reporters that ever
existed.
And as to the manipulation OF
the eyebrow pencil, the application OF
the rabbits foot that has been dipped
in the rouge pot and other little things
that go far in the toilet Of the modern
woman, DR.. IIlrsch believes that the
woman of the year 1911 has not adj
vanced far beyond the Jewish woman
who lived seven centuries before the
dawn of the Christian era.
DR.. Hirsch asked any of his hear
ers who might doubt his word to read
the third chapter of Isaiah for veriti-
cation.
ain this chapter" said DIR. Hirsch,
''you will find description of lady's
toilet which for detail rivals the most
skillful society reporters information
about Mrs Newly Feathered or Mrs.
Newly Wed. The prophet describes
infinitely the rouge box, the pencil for
the eyebrows and other minute details
of the toilet of the women of that age.
And. from what / know, do not be-
lleve that in this regard women OF
today have progressed much beyond
those of that time"
The chapter in Isaiah to which DR..
Hlrsch referred contains the following
| passages
In that day the Lord will take away the
bravery of their tinkling ornaments about
their feet and the cauls. and the cres-
cents: the pendants, and the bracelets,
and the mufflers; the head tires, and the
ankle chains. and the sashes. and the per-
| fume boxes. and the ainulets: the rings.

| NANTES. and the shawls. and the satchels:

Meeting the Servant Problem.

A new way of making the servant
problem easier and one especially
adapted for light housekeeping is be-
ing favored. An employment agency
has hit on the scheme of employing
about twenty-five reliable servants by
the week and paying them good wages.
These servants report at the agency
every morning. unless they have pre-
viOus assignment for days work, and
wait until a housewife in need of a
servant to clean her apartment or do a
days washing calls up. The servant
girl collects no money, getting her
wages and car fare at the end of the
week from the employment agency
Miss NJ. f. Marshall, scientific in
vestigator of the troubles of working.
women, spoke highly recently of the
method in England. She said: "The
housewife who used to complain of the
difficulty of securing a competent and
reliable woman is delighted at seeing
a really excellent charwoman at hel
door soon after she has telephoned &c
the exchange that she wants one. The
competent charwoman, who formerly
had a struggle to obtain work and
was tempted to take a sweated wage
has now as much work as she can un
dertake. The labor exchange, with its
woman registration clerk, its tele
phone and it's list of women, promptly
puts the charwoman and the house
hold into touch with each other"

WORLDS LARGEST BAKERY.
In Essen, Prussia, and Makes Fifty
Thousand Loaves Day.

Thousand LoaveS Day.
The largest bakery in the world is To-
Gated in Essen. Prussia. the home of
the great Krupp gun factory. 1t is a
vast building in which seventy work
men, divided into two shifts, work
night and day.
Everything is done by machinery. A
screw turns increasingly a kneading
trough, into which are poured some
water and ten sacks of -four of 200
pounds each
This machine makes about 10000
pounds Of bread each day in the shape
of $4,000 small loaves and $4,000 large
loaves. produced by $50 sacks of flour
Of 200 pounds each. All the operations
OF breadmaking are performed in this
colossal bakery. The wheat arrives
there, is cleaned, ground and brought
automatically to the kneading trough
by series of rising and descending
pipes.
There are thirty-six double ovens.
and the workmen who watch over the
baking of the bread earn from 8 to 10
cents an hour, making an average of
90 cents a day for eleven hours on
duty. They have coffee and bread
free; also the use of a bathroom, for
they are required to keep themselves
spotlessly clean and must wash their
hands eight times day.

THE cYcLoPEAN EYE.
u Exists Today In Rudinentary Form
In Mans Brain


The Greeks were. unwittingly. very
near an anatomical truth when they
ascribed TO certain monsters called cy-
clops only one eye apiece, which was
placed Ia the center Of their foreheads.
The cyrlopean eye exists today in
the brains of men in n rudlmentary
form, for in the pineal gland we find
the last vestlges of that which was
once third eye and which looked out
into the world. If not from the center
of the forehead, at least from very
near that point There is alive today a
little creature which would put to
shame the one eyed arrogance and
pride of PoIyphemus and Argos and
Brontes and Steropes and all the rest
of the single eyed gentry who. in the
days of myths and myth makers, In
habited the "fair Sicillan isle"
The animal in question Is small
lizard called Calotis. Its well develop
cd third eye is situated in the. top of
It's head and can be easily seen
through the modified and transparent
scale which serves 1t as a cornea.
Many other lacertillans have this third
eye. though It is not so highly organ
lied as it's in the species just men,
toned.
A tree lizard which is to be found in
the mountains of east Tennessee and
Kentucky has its third eye well de-
veloped. This little animal is called
the singing scorpion" by the noun
taineers. On dissection the third eye
will be found lying beneath the skin.
1t has a lens, retina and optic nerve

BEAUFORT CUT COMPLETED.
Waterway For Small Vessels Past
Dreaded Cape Hatteras.


The Beaufort cut has been virtually
completed. Vessels drawing ten feet
of water can now pass through it, but
the canal is being deepened to twelve
feet. 1t will enable vessels that can
use it to pass down the coast back of
dreaded Cape Hatteras. but it cannot
be fully utilized until the canals lead
ing to the Elizabeth river at Norfolk,
Vs.. have been enlarged.
Al Il chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, so a waterway has no
greater capacity than its smallest sec
ton Thus tho Beaufort cut. in the
absence of a deeper waterway from
Norfolk to the cut. is not available for
vessels that cannot pass through the
Dismal swamp or the Chesapeake
and Albemarle canals. 1t is consider
ed unfortunate that the entire line
could not have been opened at the
same time, for the Beaufort cut can
not now completely demonstrate its
usefulness.
That it will be useful even under
present conditions there can be little
doubt. Small vessels heretofore bot
tied up in Pimlico sound can proceed
farther to the south and return by the
same route. but larger craft cannot
penetrate to Albemarle and PimlicO
sounds until the canals from the Eliza
beth river are enlarged. Nor can the
commerce originating on the water
ways of North Carolina get a northern
outlet in larger vessels until these
same improvements have been made.

The queer superstition still exists
that somehow smoke is good for the
health. Perhaps it is the Londoner's
way Of consoling himself for having
black instead of pink lungs. But
Glasgow runs London very closely In
the matter of Opaque atmosphere.
Statistics show that during the au-
tumn fogs in Glasgow in 1909 1908
people died from fog. From being
thirteen in the thousand the Glasgow
death rate went up to twenty in the
thousand during the fog season. When
the nation lost about the same number
of men during the "black week" in the
Boer war it was panic stricken, but
not much notice is taken of the CON-
monplace smothering of a thousand
people in the Glasgow "black weeks"

fog facts, has recently had something
to say about the way sulphuric acid
bites into pictures, fact first discov-
cred by Faraday when he reported
upon the proposed removal of the Ma

Old Time Thsater Rowdies.

Rowdyism in London theaters was a
common occurrence in the old days, as
is shown by the following from the
London Post of Oct. %, 1913:
1.-TWO men in the pit at Drury Lane
theater last night were so turbulent
and riotous during the last act of
Henry " that the performance was
interrupted upward of a quarter of an
hour. The audience at last asserted
their power and turned them disgrace
fully out of the theater. This should
always be done TO crush the race of
disgusting puppies that are a con-
slant nuisance at the playhouse every

A leaf is one of the most beautiful

describe the ordinary coloring matter
of vegetation.
The chlorophyll cells or granules
absorb the light and heat of the suns
rays and In some marvellous way,
which only scientists can understand,
manufacture the sugar which Is neces-
sary for the life of the tree itself by
combining the carbonic acid gas of the
atmosphere with the water drawn in
by its roots. These tiny cells are so
very small that as many as 100000
have been counted in a square MILL
meter of the leaf of castor oil plant,
and in order that they may come in
contact with as much sunlight as pos

toward the sun.
If you notice the arrangement of the
leaves on a bough you will see that
nature has placed them so that they
form an almost perfect light screen
and catch all the sunshine that there
Is. If it were not for the constant
work of these little chlorophyll cells
the splendid trees in our forests would
wither and die and there would be no
green things left in the world.-Lon-
