Of the many new devices that
modern inventions has recently given
to the world, perhaps there is no
more ingenious contrivance than the
electrical chronometer, the product
of a Partisan brain, by means of
which an automobile race can be
timed even to the one-hundredth Of
a second.
One of these instruments is placed
at the starting point of the race and
another at the finish, the two being
connected by CHdfSeu WIRE w men

The Dust of the Earth.

Expecting a visit from the super
intendent of an adjacent Sunday
school one Sunday afternoon, one
enterprisng teacher, anticipating the
line of questions which would be
asked of the scholars, selected boy
from her class to answer each ques-
ton. AS she had figured 1t out, the
visitor would first ask the pupils the
question, "Who made your" and
the pupil was, of course, to answer
God" The next question was to
be "Of what?" to which the answer
was to be "Of the dust Of the earth. !"
Unfortunately between the time Sun
day school was called to order and
the visiting superintendent had TAX
en- the floor, the first pupil was TAX
en- sick and obliged to go home. The
teacher did not have the opportunity
to readjust her force, and when the
first question was asked, the second
boy thought it a good opportunity
for him to get his answer and get it
off his mind; so to the question,
"Who made you?" he answered, "Of
the dust of the earth"
"Oh, no." said the visitor. God
made you"
mo, sir; He did not" said the
youngster. "The little boy that God
made has gone home sick, and l am
the dust of the earth. Judge.

Boil one-fourth pound of macaroni,
drain and put in a buttered casserole,
add little butter and grated cheese.
Push macaroni to sides of dish and
fill center with chopped cooked meat
seasoned to suit. A little sausage
gives a good flavor to this dish. Place
in oven until hot throughout and
serve.
A very good modification of this is
made by using raw instead of cooked
meat. For this oneIhalf pound of
round steak is sufficient for six. This
should be cut in small pieces, brown
ed, and cooked until tender in wa
ter with onions and other seasonings.
An hour before cooking is complete,
add one-half can of tomatoes. Before
serving, meat may be mixed with the
sauce, and the whole is poured over
macaroni.

One of the most interesting rep
tiles of CALIFORNIA; great desert is
the desert tortoise. / have found as
many as twenty of these hard
shelled fellows, that we usually as
sociate in our minds with the
thought of water, in the very heart
of the desert, where the water was
exceedingly scarce. Yet, when you
pick them up, they generally void
two or three large spoonfuls of
liquid. Dissection shows that they
each have two large water sacks on
the back, and these afford them their
water supply. They are great travel
ers and can walk faster than we
should imagine; they are also good
climbers. l have watched one for
hours climbing up and down the
rocky sides of a desert mountain.
He could wiggle himself up a rock
almost as high as he was long.
Raising himself on his tail end, he
would use his head as a hook, then
claw with his right leg until it had
secured a good hold; then, with
what seemed to me extraordinary
strength, he would lift himself up
and wiggle his body into secure
position. "-Suburban Life.

The Revenge of the Beavers.

At the reservoir at Saddleback
Pond recently at Rangely, Me-, beav-
ers' work in dam construction was
found to interfere with the water
supply from Saddleback stream.
These busy engineers had construct
ed a tight dam which had retained
considerable of the supply of the
mountain reservoir, and workmen
each day tore out their work only
to find it rebuilt on their next visit.
Good sized tree sections had been
hauled in and placed in the dam
by the beavers. After several de-
structions of the beavers dams there
was again found to be a stoppage IN
the supply of water through the
main pipes. The dam had not been
rebuilt, but on close investigation it
was found that these cunning engi-
neers in revenge apparently had
built a dense screen across the
strainer, which had prevented the
flow of water through the main pipe.

"BUNK" OR "BUNC."
The Former the Northern, the Latter
the Southern Spelling.

tuo 0OuCuCIA 0PChlAAS9s
cit never occurred to me that
there could be any two ways of spell
ing the word bunk" said the
scholarly appearing person who was
studying the sporting section of the
newspaper. but I happened to pick
up a Memphis newspaper the other
day and as a head to speech made
by Commissioner LOOMS in Toxic
recently I read: "Loomis Hands
Out the Bunc.'
Now, without endeaving to go
into the merits of the case so put I
want to say only that the headline
meant that Mr.. LOOMS was accused
of softsoaping the Japanese he ad-
dressed. The only other authority
for the spelling of the word comes
from the sporting cartoonists, whose
work I study carefully. They are
unanimous in spelling it bunk. u"
'It appears to me that the South
ern version Is based on belief that
the word is dim1nutive of bun
combe.' The Northern spelling may
be due to the belief that a person
who may be bunked is person of
sleepy or dopy nature, who might as
well be lying in a bunk, wrapped
in slumber. Therefore when per-
son is bunked he is rendered sleepy.
That Is merely conjecture"

Famous Eptcures.

In the ceiling of the dining room
in Nero's golden house." on the
Palatine hill, were compartments in

crowned with wreaths. Usually after
one course the tables were removed
and others placed before the guests.

Protection for Apes.

A scheme is being arranged for
the protection of the manlike apes
IN the German colonies or equatorial
Africa 1t is proposed in the place
that the shooting Of these creatures
should be strictly forbidden and
steps taken for their protection. In
connection with this it is proposed
to establish in the Cameroons a spe-
cial reserve for the fauna of the
equatorial! forest generally. This re-
serve would include geological
tropical station, with gardens at
tached, in which attention would be
specially directed to the protection
and rearing of the anthropoid apes
and other denizens of the forest
zone The scheme would likewise
include the study of the fresh water
fauna CT the tropics generally as
we'll as the investigation and cure of
tropical diseases. The establish
ment OF marine geological station
in East Africa and (perhaps m0E-
able) fresh water station on the
great lakes likewise forms part OF
the project.

USE GREAT CARE IN
HANDLING GASOLINE

Gasoline should only be used fol
washing out Of doors and away from
buildings and smokers. When the
washing is done the gasoline should
be thrown on loose ground that will
drink it up at once.
Severe explosions have come from
pouring the dirty gasoline down the
hole in the sink. A large number
have come from pouring it in the slop
bucket where it floated and gave OIL
vapor.
Putting gasoline in the water IN
wash boiler is always followed by an
explosion.
Silk in dresses, ribbons or gloves
may, If rubbed hard make spark
which will fire gasoline.
Clothing can be cleaned by am
monia or benzine soap without dan
ger. A safe substitute is gelatinized
benzine in which rs per cent benzine
is added to a mass of soap, water and
ammonia.
It can be handled without spilling;
the amount of vapor given off is slight
and the amount of infammable ma
terial in it is small.

PHILADELPHIA SCRAPPLE.
The Mystery of It's Manufacture Is
Here Revealed,

In these troublous times of revela-
lions various it is a happy thought
on the part of the Woman's Home
Companion to confide to the world
one secret which palpitates with
precious possibilities. Certainly no
less may be said of a recipe for
Philadelphia scrapple. Here it is.
Boil three or four pounds of fresh
pork quite fat) until very tender,
then take out the meat, and season
the water in which it was boiled,
and thicken it with yellow corn meal,
as thick as for hasty pudding, and
let it cook a long time to cook the
meat thoroughly.
Chop the meat tolerably fine, sea-
son well. and add it to the mush.
When it is cooked put it into square
bread tins to cool; when cold, cut in
slices, and fry in a spider until
brown. 1t should not require any
fat for frying.

REVERSIBLE COATS
FOR THE EVEIlIiIG

The question of providing two coats
on limited income has been settled
by Partisan modiste, who is now
showing a reversible coat for even
ings.
1t is a very plain straight mode
with kimono sleeves and adjustable
revers and collar, which may be OF
black satin or lace, or both sets may
be provided.
The outside of this coat is a SER
viceable black satin, very soft and
lending itself admirably to the full
graceful lines of the wrap, which, with
it's black satin revers and collar, may
be worn afternoons or evenings Oh
informal occasions.
The coat is, however, lined with a
lovely coral satin and may be turned
inside out, the revers and 2llar taken
off and the lace ones put on and a
wonderful evening wrap thus pro-
vided.
The extra set of collars and cuffs
may have long sash-like ends to tie
it, or little crepe with a hood may
be made to catch on when the rose
colored wrap is worn, its lining of
black being quite as smart as the black
coat with the lining of pink.
This reversible idea is easily car
ried out 1t is simply that each coat
is cut, fitted and finished separately,
making two unlined models. These
are then caught t0enther in the ShOul-
ders and under the arms and bound
about the neck ready for the adjust
able collar
Satin wraps or long wraps Of chif-
fon and heavy net will be much worn
this summer, and a most lovely one of
the latter may be evolved from one
