Criqin of Geom~ .ry.

There Is little doubt that the science
of geometry had Its origin in Egypt.
The annual overflow of the Nile wiped
out all landmarks and boundaries, and
some reliable means Of measuring the
earth was an absolute necessity;
hence the rise Of geometry, which
means earth measurement From all
accounts the philosopher Thales took
the science from Egypt to Greece,
where it was greatly improved and
carried very near the perfection 1t
finally reached through the discoveries
of the celebrated Descartes of the sew
enteenth century.

received this morning by Manager
j. Frank Quinn, from Morok. who has
been giving exhibitions during the
past week at Quebec. states that he
will start from New York Wednesday
tomorrow and should arrive here by
Friday noon. Morok will be one of the
biggest attractions of the celebration,
giving daily flights from the race track
grounds every afternoon next week,
which will attract many people from
every section of the upper peninsula.
The machine to be used is of the Cur
tiss bi-plane type, similar to that in
which Glenn Curtiss made his famous
flights from Albany to New York o
year or so ago, and which has won for
Curtiss many prizes in aviation
flights in Europe, Los Angeles and at
various aviation meets in America.

dwellings have been repainted this
spring and yesterday Donahue started

Drittler building on quincy street.
Manager quinn has had a telephone
installed at his Office on the exhibition

he can be communicated with by per-
sons downtown having business with
him, without the necessity of making
trips to the park.

EIectrocuted Euas.


1t is possible that the peculiar taste
OF cold storage egg. which is some
thing not easy TO mistake. may be re-
moved If experiments now being made
by an electrical company are success
full Says the Inventive Age: ut is
claimed that when fresh eggs are
placed in cold storage the eggs are
alive. that they are slowly frozen 70
death and that in spite of the preser-
walton qualities of the ice the eggs do
not taste good when cooked. 1t is now
believed that by electrocuting the eggs
the natural fresh taste may be retain
ed and not removed when the eggs are
placed in cold storage. The eggs are
killed by placing metal cap on each
end of the egg and then throwing on
pressure of 500 volts"

Easy TO Make a Gun.

The ameer of Afghanistan once start
ed a gun factory of which he was very
proud and placed it under the super
vision of smart Yankee who could
keep his business to himself. Amer
Khan, one of the ameer's chiefs, came
In to see the factory one day. The
Yankee showed him around, and at
the end Of the inspection Amer Khan
said:
This looks very simple Now tell
me just how to make gun, and Will
set up factory in my own province
on my return home"
'It looks simple" said the Yankee,
land 1t is simple. To build n gun you
make n hole first; then you wrap some
iron around II, and there you are"
Ameer Khan shook his head. "Ah,"
he said, there is plenty of air for the
hole in my province. but how the iron
should he wrapped around II is a thing
none of my people know"

WHY THE TUhkrf is BALD.

Fan a Fire Into Flame.

NiSo why TIC inolan Uses us WINGS 10
Fan a Fire Into Flame.
The Indians OF our country have
many legends connected with certain
peculiar habits or customs prevalent
among them. If one should chance 10
visit the home of an old Indian he
would perhaps notice "A turkey wing
hanging near the fire.
This the Indian uses TO fan his fire
into a flame and make 1t burn brightly
or perhaps in the sultry days of sum.
mer TO fan himself. If asked why he
uses the turkey wing instead of the
wing of any other bird he would no
doubt relate the following story;
Many years ago the fire of the world
was nearly eXtinguished This hap
pened just at the beginning OF the win
ter season. The birds of the air were
filed with anxiety, for their intuition
told them they would need heat TO
keep them warm through the winter
A bird council was held. and it was
decided that birds which could fly the
highest should soar into the air and
see If they could find a spark of fire
anywhere The efforts of the eagle,
lark and raven were i'm vain. The
honor was left 20 the little brown
sparrow. who spied n spark Of fire i'm
the hollow of an old stump in the
heart of a deep forest
The birds focked around the stump
and tried TO decide who should pick
the spark out. But all their efforts
were in vain. To their dismay they
saw the spark growing smaller and
fainter. The turkey then volunteered
to try to keep the tiny coal alive by
tanning it with his wings. Day after
day the turkey kept tanning. The heat
became greater each day until the
feathers were singed off the turkeys

see Jumps on the head of turkey that
appear as blisters.
1t is believed that the turkey was so
badly burned that all turkeys since
have had bald heads and wear the
blisters as a momento of the bravery
of the turkey. The faithful turkey lost
his beautiful feathers, but he gave
back fire to the world, so I'm his honor
and as a memorial of his faithfulness
the Indian uses the turkey wing to
make his fire burn.-Red Man.
