PLOW DEVISED BY ABRAHAM
University of Pennsylvania Has Pic
ture of Probably First Ma
chine of Its Kind.

The University of Pennsylvania
has just discovered that it owns what
is believed to be the first picture of
the plow invented by. Abraham GEN.
turtles ago. According to the Egyp-
tologists at the museum, their trans
lations of the hieroglyphics show
that Abraham was the progenitor OF
the harvester trust.
While plows undoubtedly were used
before the time Of this invention, the
Abraham pillow is combination seed
er and planter, and, according to the
inscription on the picture, three men
were necessary to operate it.
The picture was made upon a Baby
lonian brick, which was the custom in
those days. The apparatus had a
tube-like attachment, into which the
seeds were poured. A vessel above
the ground facing the frame Of the
pillow was used as receptacle for the
seed, and then the harrow was at
tached to the back of the plow
The Babylonians sowed and titled
according to Abraham's commands,
and with his invention they feared
neither the ravens nor any other
birds that devoured their grain.

FLOODING THE SAHARA

A recent article on the Scientihc
American discusses the proposal of
Professor Etchegoyen to flood a por-
ton of the Sahara with sea water by
means of a channel from the Medlter-
ranean and thereby to create an IN
land sea, which, as he claims, would
affect the climate, make for condl-
tons of fertility, and for possibilities
of colonization, and provide channel
Of communication. Quite apart from
the possibility or desirability of the
scheme itself, a considerable number
of crimes, says Nature, seem to have
been committed in the name of physl-
cal geography by opponents of the
scheme, who have foreseen that the
new subtropical area thus cerated
would so far affect the climate OF
more northern lands as to bring the
Arctic belt southwark to Denmark,
and they even seriously discuss the
probability of the upsetting of the
earth's equilibrium by the displace-
ment of so great body OF sea water.
The writer of the article, at pains to
calm these fears, shows that the total
area of the Sahara capable of flood
ing from the sea is no large proper
ton of the whole, and appears to wei
come the idea as much for its own TO
mantle sake as for any benefits which
it might confer. He is not concerned
to remark upon the ultimate condition
of a practically stagnant pond of sea
water, with only long narrow chan
mel connecting it with the general ma
rine circulation

SOLDIERS WHO CHEW CORDlTE

One of the troubles of most Euro
pean armies is that those soldiers who
can get hold of it, insist on using
that terrible explosive, cordite, as II
it were a sort of chewing gum.
It's popularity is due to the fact
that when chewed in small quantities
it has a stimulating and exhilarating
effect, like small doses of alcohol. Its
taste, too, is sweet, cordite being
three-fifths nitroglycerin, an explosive
which is sugary to the taste.
When chewed in large quantities
cordite becomes more powerful in its
effects, bringing on a blissful state of
ecstasy, and sometimes making the
victim Of the habit see visions. But
the real danger of the habit lies in the
fact that, though nitroglycerin Will
only explode when given very hard
blow or touched by an electric spark,
there is always possibility that the
grinding of exceptionally hard teeth
might provide the necessary hard
blow. Within the last few years, at
least three soldiers-two Germans and
one American-have been blown to
bits, the use of cordite as chewing
gum being the suspected cause.
The habit was not unknown in our
own armies. some years ago, till the
military authorities took steps to
stop it.

ROYAL Widows Woes.

Poor old Francis Joseph, emperor
of Austria, is again called upon TO
use his kindly offices by another dis
tressed lady who desires the approval
of the pope to the divorce recently
granted to her by the civil courts.
The lady is the Archduchess Isabella,
who married Prince George of Ba-
varia, a union that was but for q day.
Plus x has ratified the legal decis-
ions, but has ordered as pennance
for the lady that for six months she
shall remain retired in the Red Cross
convent and minister to the sick.
The archduchess finds this prescrip-
ton of the pope altogether too Sc

ter to Berlin. In the meantime Fran
els Joseph will do what he can to re-
lieve the lady of the discipline inflict-

They WANT EDAD0G
But Got a Baby Which Beats
the Best Canine
Living.
BY c. 3. CRAWFORD.

They were a lonely old couple.
Seth Earl was sixty and his wife,
Ada. fffty-fiye. If they had had chill
dren living they could have faced the
future more hopefully But the lone
illness that had always encompassed
them since their only boy, Arthur,
had died in babyhood, seemed to be
closing in around them more tightly
from day to day, like tangible thing.
They owned their house in the vii
lage and Earls pension from the cor
poration that had employed him for
80 years. small though 1t was, pro-
yided them with the necessities OF
life. Since Earl had retired he had
mooned aimlessly about the garden
plot. He had always looked forward
to his long holiday, to a life of leis-
ured ease, and now life seemed to
offer nothing.
Once. five years before, they had
discussed adopting a child. But Seth
had never returned to the subject
The look upon his wife's face har-
rowed him, and he knew that no
child could ever take the place OF
their little boy whose photograph was
the only picture in the neat little par
lor.
IT guess I'm too old to start caring
for a child now, Seth" said his wife
Besides, we'd be in our graves, az
like as not, before it was grown old
enough to shift for itself"
Both of them had always been
somewhat afraid of life, and both
shrank from new enterprises. The
narrow round of their days had be
come a rut along which they Travelled
aimlessly.
"If only l had something, If only q
dog" he said to himself. THAT would
be company. He'd come to wake me
mornings, barking and wagging his
tail, and then what walks we'd have
together. Well, why not? Why
shouldn't 1 have a dog? Other mer
have one"
AS he expected, Ada offered strong
opposition to the suggestion But
Seth was insistent over his tremen
dous plan, and gradually his enthusi
asm won his wife over.
He'd muss up the house ant
scratch things" she protested. Blu
