Cabarrus Mule That Grows Horns
(From The Mooresville Enterprise
Mr.. Abner Walter, probably the
+, oldest resident Of our town and a
i native of Cabarrus, brought to the
editor of the Enterprise last week a

Mrs. Charley Walter of Cabarrus
County. The animal in question is

Curious Ninht Wells.

A curious form of water hole is found
in the desert of Western Australia.
dry by day. but yielding an abundant
supply of water by night. The flow of
water is preceded by hissings and
sounds of rushing air. The phenome-
non is discussed by DR.. Malcolm Mac
laren, who has located and examined
one of these wells. He found that the
water supply occurred in a long. mar
row trench. at the bottom of which
was thin plate of gneiss. separated
by a cavity from the main rock mass
beneath. Apparently the heat of the
day causes this plate to expand in the
form of a depression, into which the
water retreats When it cools and con
tracts at night it forces first air anc
then water back into the trench.-Sci

The large American cat known as the
puma is very rich in names. which
fact leads to no little confusion in the
minds of young students of natural
history. The early Puritan settlers in
New England named the animal the
painter meaning, of course, panther.
because in shape and size it strongly
resembles this fierce carnivore of the
old world. 1t also received the name
catamount. which was shortened down
from cat Of the mountain. The red

specimens suggested the name red ii

Patagonia, that naturally enough it re.

The Scorpion of CeyIon.

A more disagreeable object than a
scorpion of Ceylon it would be difficult
to imagine Although. as a rule, it
does not measure more than seven
inches in length, there is a species
found in the woods that are longer
than foot. They crawl out Of some
dried wood and. taking up their posi-
ton on a convenient rock or stone,
look. as they hold their great jointed
sting curved over their backs and their
claws held aloft. the very picture of
aggressive warfare Here they stretch
themselves in the broiling sun and
await their prey. These are the small.
beautiful honeybirds that dart from
flower to flower and take the place of
the humming birds of the east. AS
one approaches the scorpion seems to
shrink into the stone until it becomes
almost imperceptible. Suddenly the
great insect will raise its claws and
dart at It's beautiful victim, which In q
moment is destroyed.

Ice Cream and a Nerve.

Why do we sometimes get an ache in
the nose when eating ice cream. There
is a nerve running along the back of
the nose which doctors call the an
terror palatine nerve. This has a
branch running along the base of the
nasal cavity and another branch run
ming along the palate. The ends OF
these branches join through finer
branches which run through openings
in the palate near the front teeth.
When we get some ice cream in the
mouth and keep it in front for a mo-
ment so that the irritation produced
by the cold reaches the fine connect
ing branches the sensation may be
carried to the branch in the nose. IT.
ritation of this branch produces the
sensation of pain. We get the same
sensation when breathing very cold
air.-New York American.

PRECIOUS MUGS.
The Crucbles Used In the New York
ASSAY Office.

In the government assay office on
Wall street, New York, there is cor
ner that looks very much like a mug
rack in country barber shop. where
every customer has his individual mug
highly decorated in gilt letters.
On this rack are perhaps fifty cruel
bles for melting down gold. The cru
cibles are decorated with crude ini-
tails and numerals and are the proper
ty of the biggest gold mining corpora
lions in North and South America.
The reason for the individual mugs
is that the clay of crucibles takes up
a considerable quantity of gold In the
process of smelling which otherwise
would be lost to the customer bringing
the gold to the government to be re-
fined. After two or three smeltings
the clay is saturated and takes up no
more gold When it is finally sue
ceeded by a new crucible it is returned
to the customer to be broken up for
its hidden gold.
Mugs that are used for melting down
random lots of gold are carefully pre-
served by the government refners and
sold. Uncle Sam pockets the proceeds,
as in these random lots there is no
way of computing to what amount
each of perhaps twenty customers
may be entitled. 1t is only the smelt-
ing concern that sells the government
enough gold at one time to monopolize
a single melting that obtains the right
to mug on the rack. - New York

SERVIA AS A NATION.
It Originated In the First Half of tho
Seventh Century.

Seventh Century.
The birth of Servia as u nation. set
tied in or near its present home. may
be dated In the first half of the sew
enth century. About 600 A. D., when
the Ayaric empire Of desolation was
established on the Danube, two tribes,
the Croats and the Serbs. retiring be-
fore the ravages Of the Tartar horse
men. settled in the countries now
known as Croatia Bosnia and Servia.
They were Slavs, but the .Croats per-
haps had. like. the Slavs Of Moesia in
after years, adopted the name of
Tartar tribe. Both, fleeing. from the
Ayars, were naturally hostile to them.
and it is possible that they settled in
the empire with the consent or even at
the invitation of the Emperor Hera-
clius /. At any rate, they appear to
have been considered as vassals OF the
empire. Their first settlements lay
rather westward of the country now
called Servia. the brave, the present
western boundary, being the dividing
line between Bulgar and Serb in the
eighth century. Here the Serbs dwelt
more or less uneventfully for three
centuries. They generally formed a
loose cOnfederacy under chiefs called
zupans They were commonly, in a
loose fashion. loyal to the eastern en-
pire mainly through fear of their dan
gerous neighbors. the Bulgarians.
About $40 they united under a chief
named vlastimiz to repel the latter.
The country rose to great heights
under Stephen Dushan. the car of the
Serbs. but after his death Murad l.
conquered the country, and it was not
until 1915 that the Serbs partially
threw off the Turkish yoke.-Ex-

A Memory of Before the
War Days

Very few people in this
county perhaps know that
a child of one OF the COVER
nors of this stateis buried in
this town in the center OF
one OF its most Travelled
streets. Gov. Pettus after
! his election to the office OF
governor in 1850 was on the
way to Jackson with MS fam
lily, to be inaugurated as
governor, making the trip,
from his home in kemper
county, through the coun-
try as no direct railroad to
Jackson had been built at
that time. On reaching this
place he and his family stop
ped in what was then known
as the old Wilson Hotel, kept
by the grandfather of Mr.. 6.
E. Wilson Of this place.
This old hotel building
then stood on what is now
the methodist parsonage
property. While stopping
here this little child of Gov.
Pettus was taken i'll and
died. At that time no regu-,
lar cemetery was here and
interment is said to have
been made in the corner OF
the garden of the Wilson
Hotel. The oncoming OF the
war and the stirring days of
reconstruction, with the
death of the parents OF this
child prevented its remains
from ever being removed.
The destruction of the old
hotel many years ago and
the abandonment OF the gar
den soon lost to every one
now living here the fact of
the little grave which had no
permanent headstone, and
which would have been for
ever lost had it not been
found a few days ago in
grading the streets.
For years and years it was
located in the middle OF the
street, unmarked, and trav-
eled over by thousands OF
vehicles and pedestrians who
were ignorant OF it's presence.
In regarding the streets a
few days ago a change was
made in the streets which
leaves the little mound to
the outside where sleeps the
tender youth Of our war
governor, who died in the
home of strangers, buried in
the loneliness of a small gar
den, to be forgotten by the
world. The finding of this
little grave has kindled in
the mind of the very old in
habitants OF this place me
mories OF the ante-bellum
days and to them we are in
debted for the facts in this
sadepisode of life. The grave
should be properly cared for,
if not by the town and coun-
ty we are ready to head a
public subscription for it's
preservation.
