Why We Shake Hands.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with a person whom you
know? Here is the reason:
In the old days, when every man who
had any pretensions Of being a gentle.
mar carried q sword, it was the GUS
tom for men when they met to show
that they had no intention of treach-
cry to offer each other their weapon
hands-that is the hand that would be
used to draw the sword. and to with.
hold the hand was usually the signal
for 9 fight.
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
q friend and declined to offer it to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
to shake hands with q person it signi-
fes you are at war. Among savages
who never carried swords, the prs &c.
sice of shaking hands is unknown,
and it affords them amusement to see
the white men do it.

Penalty For Selling OIeo.

ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. ITO sell "a
or s5 worth of oleomargsrine q day
in Atlanta, the Cudahy Packing COM
pany has laid itself open to q fine OF
1872, 500, according to an indictment
returned today against the company
in the United States court.
This unusual punishment has been
invited, go the government says, by
petty illegal t%raf3cking that In all
could have profted the packers not
more than $1,000. The information
presented to the grand jury was that
the company sold about 60 pounds OF
oleomargarine q day to Thomas Hop
kins, already under Indictment as an
"oleomargarine blockader," and re-
ceived for it about I cents q pound or
1920.
1t Is alleged in the Indictment tha,
to cover up the sale OF so much oleo-
margarine to one man, the company
falsi6ed its books to show that the
quantity was being distributed among
several Atlantic restaurants. Indig.
nant proprietors CT restaura ants named
have denied using oleomarea riue,
and appeared before the grand Jury

Fisher insists the bill is altogether too
liberal and personally wants to retain
the five year term as at present, but is
willing to concede that settlers may be
absent during certain special winter
months, though not for more than four
or five months at the outside. He
also wants included some requirement

committee is inclined to revise the bill
to meet the secretary's view, aud II
this is done the bill will be reported
substantially in accordance with the
views expressed by the secretary in

to follow the recommend alton of the

Vast Storehouse Of Treasure Waiting
to Be Unlocked.
The conservation of natural re-
sources is twin sister to the economic
use of present waste material, and in
no case is this more obvious than in
u forest products. In the waste wood
of the south and northwest from the

sufficient material to yield annually all

box board and building board required
for which wood is suitable. More
methyl alcohol, acetate Of lime and
acetone can be produced from 1t than
is now made in the country, and large
quantities Of ethyl alcohol may also be
recovered. There are millions of acres
Of cut over land covered with stumps
and dead and down timber, all Of

at least $3O,OOO.O0O, may be obtained

WEIGHING OF SILK.
Methods by Which Raw Material 10
Loaded With Metal,

Loaded With Metal.
1t is to be regretted that many un-
scrupulous manufacturers resort to
weighing. or loading" raw silk in the
dyeing process to such an extent as
to render it a very uncertain and
t%reacherous fabric. with a tendency to
split and crack even when carefully
folded and laid away. In this dyeing
process the natural gum Of the silk
worm is first removed from the silk by
a method Of 'stripping." as it is called.
in order that the raw MARTIAL may
properly take and hold the dye. This
causes a loss of weight which dyers
have always sought to restore. but in
stead of being content with doing this
the thrown silk is dipped into a solu-
ton Of bichloride Of tin, nitrate of
iron or some other chemical com
pound for the purpose Of giving it
more weight than that lost in the strip
ping process. SO that a hundredweight
of silk in the raw state is often made
to weigh 300 or even 400 pounds when
the dyeing is completed. AS raw silk

gain to the manufacturer is obvious.
This operation makes the silk more
valuable, but destroys the durability of
the filaments.
Stretching the threads by steaming,
so that a given weight will weave a
greater number Of yards, and the ad-
dition of chemicals to give it an un-
natural luster are other processes that
prove profitable to manufacturers. but
costly to consumers.
1t Is a mistaken Idea with many peo-
pie that the heavy silks are the best
and most durable. Just the reverse is
true. The lightweight. or pure dye
Silks" as they are termed. are much
stronger and more durable, as only
enough added weight is given to this
class of silks in the dyeing to replace
the loss in the stripping process.
The use of inferior and destructive
dyes is another method equally COM
mon and equally r~eprehensib!e by
which many manufacturers impose
upon the u in the dyeing of
silk.-Scientifc American.

HILL HAS POOR MEMORY,
Great Northern Magnate IL Witness
In Steel Trust Probe.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Jsmes J.

bureau of corporations compiled by
Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith,
on ore values, was not worth reading.
He said he had gone over part of it

Representative Gardiner of Massa-

port thoroughly and then give the
committee the value of his opinion.

A Deadly War Weapon.

The Krupps, who supply guns to the
German empire and to half Of the
world besides, have now invented a
terrible weapon known as the bomb
gun. It fires a huge. very brittle
bomb containing 100 pounds Of chemi-
Gals. As 1t bursts 1t fills the air with
poisonous gas in which no human be-
ing can live. The gases from one
bomb will kill every one within a ra-
dius of 500 yards. This weapon ap-
parently will make it impossible for
soldiers to remain in the open trench
es. In experiments on animals with
the bombs 1t was found that the fumes
turned them green.

The further the interstate commerce

the case against the companies be.
comes. The people believed that the
companies overcharged, but these COR
porations we're supposed to keep their
books in businesslike fashion. The
commission, however, found several
years ago that the accounts of the
companies were inexcusably en-.
tangled. and now announces that ''the
agents themselves do not understand
the tariffs aud regulations of the COM
panies."
Obviously the companies do not
know how to transact business, saysthe
Spokesman Review. Their methods
of bookkeeping resemble the rough.
%and-ready ways OF highwaymen.
Theirs is ''the good old rule, the SIM

have the power and they should keep

A BILLION DOLLAR COUNTRY.

What's the matter with q tariff bill
that stimulates domestic production to
such a point that for the first time ia
the history of the country the exports
of manufactures reached the stupen.
dous total of more than q billion dol.
lars--a thousand million dollars. And
what's the matter with q tariff bill that
increases the revenues of The country
to an unprecedented figure by in
creasing imports several hundred mil.
lion dollars!
What's the matter with a president
who stands for politics which make all
this possible? What's the matter with
a party that elects a president who is
the head of an administration under
which such magnificent industrial
records are established?
The most gratifying feature OF the
showing Is the fact that this tremen-
dOus increase ia in manufactures,
for that means that hundreds of thous.
ands of workmen are kept employed,
and that hundreds of millions of dol
lars In wages are paid every year that
would otherwise not be paid. Yet
there are those who are bowling about
the business of the country declining
and needing some sort of q "savior"
There r those who are denouncing
the party that stands for industrial
policies that reach out into the buying
markets of the world and sell Ameri-
can goods In greater quantities.
There are those who are denouncing
President Taft for the championing
these policies and refusing to deliver
I'VE the industries of America and
the workingmen who depend upon
those industries to the foreign COM
petitor. II the tariff bill which Presi.
dent Taft approved increases both ex-
ports and imports, it can hardly be
such an Ubiquitous eas as his op-
ponents insist it is. l: it did nothing
more than increase exports, it would
certainly deserve commend alton for
providing q market for the things
America has to sell, but it increases
imports, for the most part of non-
competing commodities, and swells
the revenues of the country.
If it were not for the protection pol
lev In general and the present tariff
bill iu particular, it 1t we're not for
republican policies and such q presi-
dent as Taft, thousands of those who
are shouting for tariff reform would
not have time to do any shouting.

EXPLANATION OF ENERGY,

"OA~ S~S$
for doing work. When q stone is
lifted, when a man walks, when .
wheel turns, energy must be expended.
1t is commonly believed that energy is
quickly expended, therefore, gone for
ever. This ia far from being true, &C.
cording to the Electrical News. Ener.
gy is never annihil ated, wiped
out of existence, but energy is quick
to change it's form and it disappears
only to reappear In some other shape.
To explain this statement, take the
case OF a steam pump filling q reser-
voir with water.
The coal energy is changed to steam
energy, the steam energy is converted
into mechanical energy through the
medium of q steam engine. This me-
chanical energy acting on the pump
raises the water to the reservoir.
Therefore the original coal energy is
now represented by q quantity Of
water elevated at a certain height.
So long as the water remains in the
reservoir it does not work; but let the
water run out of the reservoir, and the
energy re.sppears aud may be expend-
ed in turning a water wheel, which
may transfer its energy to q dynamo
electric machine, which, in turn, may
I'VE electric energy into mechanical
energy.
So, too, the electric energy may be
transformed or converted into heat or
light energy.
1t might be supposed from the above
doctrine that if the mechanical energy
liberated by the water escaping. from
the reservoir were employed to drive
q electric machine and the
electricity produced by this machine
employed to drive q pump then such
pump should be able to return all the
water back again into the reservoir,
and that, therefore, such q system
would be practically q case OF perpet'
ual motion. That this cannot be done
we all know.
The reason Ia that losses inv ariably
occur In the devices employed TO,
transforming the energy; and tha'
these losses, while by no means ami
hilating q part of the energy, never
theless, 90 change 9 part OF it into
such q form as heat, etc., that it car
not be Immediately utilized.
This appearance of energy in a form
In which 1t cannot be immediatel!
utilized by man is sometimes called
the degradation or dissipation O
energy, because here come of th,
energy becomes non-av ailable to man
There exists in the universe q guam
tity or store of energy. This amour
is fixed and unalterable and ca,
neither be increased or decreased.
Since all natural phenomena are re
cults produced by changes of trans
formation of energy, it follows that
as soon as scientific men we're awar
of the fact that when energy disal
pears in one form it must necessaril
appear In another form, they we're O
the lookout for such temperance
