Way to Oil a Clock.

When clock does not run continu-
ously, or stops frequently, the cause is
often due to lack of OIL This may be
remedied by saturating piece of alb
sorbent cotton with kerosene oil and
placing it inside the clock, below the
pendulum. When the cotton is re-
moved month or so later it is found
to be very dirty. This shows that the
fumes of the kerosene oil have not
only oiled the clock, but have also
cleaned it.-Pictorial Review.

Eden Found Again.

People have been discovering the
garden Of Eden for hundreds Of
years The only trouble was that
scracely any two of them discovered
it in the same place. Several put
ii in the valley of the Euphrates,
but did not agreed as to the part Of
the valley. Others found 1t In
America, Africa, Europe, the north
pole, the tops of various mountains
and in imaginary continents now,
like McGinty, on the bottom of the
sea.
Eden has been discovered again,
this time by man who had discov-
cred 1t before, but in different
spot. This time he places, 1t just
below Bagdad, the country of the
stArabian Nights" This is roman
tic, even If not convincing. The
four rivers he decides to be the four
branches Of the Euphrates The
discoyerer is no less person than
Sir William Willeocks, the English
engineer We are told that at least
one man, D.. A. II. Sayce. agrees
with him. Il they can get one more
convert they can start garden OF
Eden party.
Whether or not this is the exact
spot of the ancient garden, it Is now
proposed to transform it into mod
ern garden. Irrigation is TO do the
trick Elaborate plans for reclama
tion have been put on paper, and
the Turkish government has prom
ised to carry them out So If this
be the garden of Eden and if the
Turks keep their word we have the
prospect of restoration of Eden,
even ii that does not symbolic a
return of man to state of Edenic
purity. 1t would require more than
irrigation to Bring about that
miracle.

LESSON OF INTEREST
FIGURES THAT ARE CALCULATED
TO sTAGGER IMAGINATION.
What Old King Midas Might Have Ac-
cumuIated Starting Nfs.' the Nod
est Saving of Ten cente
se. week.

| Why didn't King Midas. the gold
lover, try to save ten cents week
says the Chicago Tribune.a He could
| have given the world a wonderful ex.
ample of the value OF the saving hab-
1t. Besides, he would have left money
for the members of his family alive
today Midas was one of the kings
Of Phrygia. AS the Phrygian line was
wiped out by the Cimmerians about
! GT0 B. c., we may assume he lived
about 500 B. G., or at least 2,711 years
ago.
If King Midas had started in saw
| ing ten cents week he would have
saved a dime, therefore. on each of
the 140,ST0 weeks, This would make
him the neat little sum of s14 20.
Although not a fortune in these days,
$l4.o97.20 Is quite a fair sum to save
by giving up one cigar a week. But
there is more to follow.
In those days OF political upheaval
and commercial uncertainty, capital
was entitled to a bigger return on
Its investment than 1t would be today
The risk was much greater Though
we have no actual records of Phryg.
ian rates Of usury, 1t Is fair to assume
that the Midas account drew ten per
cent. interest compounded annually
FOR at least the Srst 1000 years, or IN
I'll the commercial world had reached
comparatively recent stage OF de-
velopznent.
Beginning. therefore, 500 years. be-
fore Christ. Midas put into his savings
ten cents every week. At the end
Of the first ten weeks he had a dollar.
The interest on one dollar for one
year is not great, even at ten per
cent, but it adds another dime to the
ten already saved. AT the end Of the
second year there Is something more
than two dimes to be added.
At the end of the Grst hundred
years the accumulation on the first
dollar, at ten per cent. compounded,
would be S3,7S066, Thus Midas. in
the year 700 b. G. would have had
sl3,7S0.66, resulting from his first ten
weeks savings. The compromising
goes on through the next century so
that at the end of 200 years, in the
year 600 B. c., Midas would have had
$3.50, 9Q6 $1,000 from his first dollar.
At the end of the next hundred
years, or in 500 D. G., the results from
those first ten dimes put away would
be s2.G1o,0 3S,149,100.63 Continuing
this compromising through the follow.
Ing 2,411 years it is not a complicated
mathematical problem to arrive at the
sum Midas would have today from his
FIRST one dollar saved.
Remember, moreover, this sum,
which would be up among the un-
countable trilllons OF dollars, would
represent the increment Of only one
dollar put away by Midas. Midas him
self, busily saving dimes, would have
started q new series of dollar pyra-
mids every ten weeks AT the end Of
the first years saving he would have
started five and half Of these stu
pendous fortunes. TO compare any
one Of these with the $l4,097.20 he
would have saved if he had received
no interest, certainly represents the
interest habit in a favorable light.

ALABAMA

Alabama is named from the Indian
depression, Here we rest" and 1t
has lived up to its name with great
care until about ten years ago when
tit began to have steel ,centers. presi-
Dental booms and other disturbances
and is now exceeding the speed linz
| it regularly.
! Alabama lies in the sunniest sec
ton of the South with one CROW led
toe touching the Gulfsof Mexico and
its north end broken out in rash
of low mountains. 1t is of the con-
ventional size, $4,000 square miles
and has 2,150,000 people of whom
10000 are busy going TO school.
Alabama was conquered from the
Indians about 100 years ago and he
came state in 1919. 1t was 100
per cent hostile in the Civil war and
kept on fighting the Union after Lee
surrendered Fort Blakeley providing
the last big scrap OF the great ill
feeling. Even now Alabama ad-.
heres religiously to its CUSTOM of
sending Confederate, veterans TO
congress and the senate as far as
possible and when the two ninety
year old senators with war records
died recently 1t replaced them with
two youngsters who began fighting
in the Confederate army before they
began shaving.
Alabama produces cotton, coal.
iron and lumber and has climate in
