origin of Uncut.


The seashore book shop was crowd.
ed. Best sellers at $1.15, $1.25 and
even $1.50 were going like hot cakes.
The proprietor. pushing through a
throng of pretty girls in white, said
ioyously:
I'VE don't need to handle uncuts
in this glorious country of ours. Why
actually, I've just had to wire to New
York for two extra salesmen."
But what has that got to do with
the uncuts?" the reporter inquired.
"Uncuts," said the dealer, "are
books with uncut edges. They orig.
mated in Scotland In Scotland. in
the past, a man would enter your
shop today, read chapter of some
book or other and saunter out with.
out buying anything. Tomorrow he
would read another chapter gratis.
and by the end of the month he would
have finished the volume and be well
into another.
Hence the Scottish publishers and
booksellers hit on the uncut, which
you can't read without buying"
The dealer helped pretty girl To
stow in her Limousine stack of best
sellers.
But thank fortune" he said, I'VE
don't need uncuts here"

The BIushinq octopus,

The octopus frequently changes its
color, like marine cameleon. 1t
would appear, from recent studies Of
the creature, that the colored pigment
whereby this change in color is ef-
fected is contained in envelopes in
its skin, in the tissues of which are
muscular ,fibers actuated by nerves.
Should these fibers become relaxed a
dark pigment appears. The phenome-
non is said to be analogous to blush.

Drew On High Schools

To the Editor of The Farmer:
 Sir: Why do not those deputed to do so, buy the land bounded by Con gress street, Lyon Terrace, Golden Hill street and the Wheeler land? The city should own all this block. Pay Hurd his price or go elsewhere.
 As to the structure. any board who would erect building with much wood as a match or that had any fires burning in it, should be indited for malfeasance In office. The school room allowance in Boston is 2S feet by g feet by IS 1-2 feet high for 5S schol- ars. Starting with 1000 pupils, would call for IS rooms-aHowance made to add to the structure for an increase to 1000 or 5000 when wanted. The floors should pitch 1-16 inch to the foot so the janitor could take the hot water The heating should be by hot air con- veyed by blower in pipes, the air would be clean and pure and con- stantly renewed. The first floor of the Hurd house should be removed. the boilers and the live steam radiators for heating the air, installed. The upper floor windows removed and the openings covered with muslin or what might be suitable for an air receiver.
 The outside of this school building should have the horizontal piping and vertical ladders and as practice and educat1On, once a montn all the puPAS should leave the building by the fire escapes.
 am writing this to all those inter- ested, for criticism and to let you know that I know how this should be done, before you act. The general rule and one I swear at is after the thing is done is why did you not do so and ,so?" Hurd's house should be by. all means included for a boiler house.
 If you have ideas put them up or shut up. This house should be four O story and the top floor used to teach all pupils who cannot or will not take book learning, to work with their hands. The laws are mostly made by those who consider corporation or in- dividual profits only. r. J. W. DREW.

Oldest City of the New World.

SS00Sc wy OF Ino IN9" "0rI0s
Much of romance attaches to South
America. growing out of the history
Of its ancient inhabitants and the story
of the invasion of white men. In both
respects Peru is richer than any other
part of the continent. 1t was here that
the Inca dynasty. founded by Nance
Capac. son Of the sun, had it's seat,
and here was the stage upon which
moved the theatrical figure Of Pizarro,
greatest of the conquistadores. Not
even Montezuma's capital can boast
the antiquity of Cuzco. It Is the oldest
city in the new world and was ancient
when the Spaniards looted its temples.
A narrow strip of sandy coast stretch
es for 1000 miles between Ecuador
and Chile. At the back of it rises alb
ruptly the purple wall of the Andes,
capped by cheval de frise of snowy
peaks which seem to pierce the very
skies. But ut the greatest heights are
massive ruins, which indicate that
once in the long forgotten past cities

Tungsten and lts Uses.

The mineral tungsten (the name
meaning heavy stone) has been known
for many years. but only comparative
ly recently has it become of economic
Importance. Its most important use.
according to the United States geolog-
zeal survey. and the one which makes
tungsten mining on an extensive scale
possible 10 an alloy for tool steel.
Latlles using tools made from tungsten
steel may be speeded up until the chips
leaving the tool are SO hot that they
turn blue, an operation which would
ruin the temper Of high carbon steel.
1t is stated that about five times as
much can be done with lathes built
for such speed and work as can be
done by the same lathes with carbon
steel tools. From 16 to 20 per cent of
tungsten is ordinarily used in lathe
tools. The melting point of tungsten
is exceedingly high $3.50 degrees r.:
Tungsten also has an important use in
making incandescent electric lamps
crucibles for electric furnaces and va
ri0us other articles
