Energy In the Sun.

at the distance of the earth from

yearly expended by the sun is as great
In amount as would be produced by
the burning of sixty-six globes of the
best anthracite coal. each as heavy as

equal in weight to the moon. But
the greater part of this energy is. as

a gigantic spendthrift. but if he did not
radiate in every direction he would not
be seen from distant space: he would

How to Eat Asparagus.

How to eat asparagus. This is a
problem as tremendous as how to eat
an orange. ivan Head in the London
Express, gives some advice on the
point
REST one elbow" he says, ION the
cloth and wrap one leg around the leg
of the table so as to prevent overbal-
ancing. Grip the asparagus and rub
it's neck in the melted butter Before
it has time to make up its mind which
way it will wobble swing the asparagus
off its feet and waggle it in the air to
test its piability. Then open your
mouth and make feint at biting your
stalk in the small of the back.
Ten to one the asparagus will try to
dodge by doubling up. You get him as
his head comes down. and there you
are.
Never in the excitement of the Strug-
gle be tempted into biting the aspara-
gus below the belt. It's not playing
the game. and, besides. it gives the
stalk fine opportunity to whip around
with left hook to the ear"

Pepys' library since 1924 has been in

that his collection of books and man

death of his nephew. John Jackson. to
either Trinity college or Magdalene
college. Cambridge. and required that
the college which received the books
should submit to an annual visitation
from the other. the purpose of which
should be to ascertain whether the
trust was being worthily fulfilled.

While Bell invented the telephone
and Edison. Berlinor. Marcon and
many others have improved it. the
true inventor and discoverer of the
principles of telephony was n German
scientist to whom too little credit has
been given-Philip Refs. In 1861 Refs
exhibited partially articulate electric
telegraph ut Frankfort and showed
that variations In an electric current
caused by vibrating membrane could
reproduce the necessary vibrations.
Refs transmitted musical sounds and
even words. Elisha Gray. whose APP
plication for patent on the telephone
was filed in Washington only a few
hours after Professor Bells applica-
ton, improved Refs telephone. but it
is said that neither Refs nor Gray
reaped any financial reward from their
inventions.-NewY York World.

Potato juice as remedy for sprains
lumbago. govt rheumatism and bruises
is recommended by DR.. Heaton c.
Howard of London in an article in the
London Lancet. He cites numerous
cases in his own practice in which the
pain has been relieved quickly, some
times by the first application, and the
fluid that has exuded into the joint or
the membranes has been absorbed
within few days.
Potato Juice is used as an ointment &

His Maiesty's Fault,

In the reign of Francis !. Of France
quickness of wit was often more
promptly rewarded than actual merit.
The monk. Regnier Mainus. did not
lack merit. but he owed his first ad-
vancement nevertheless to a clever re-
tort.
Francis. who was very fond of the
game Of tennis, was playing Il match
one day with Mainus. The monk final
ly ended the hard fought game with a
brilliant stroke.
The king was somewhat out of hui
NOR on account of his defeat Re
markable." he exclaimed sarcastically.
Ito think that such stroke should be
made by Il mere monk"
But, sire" replied the monk. who
was as quick with his wit as he was
with his racket. lit is your majesty's
own fault that the stroke was not
made by an abbot"
A week later Mainus received his ap-
pointment rs abbot of Beauleu.-

Mount Etna Gives Ice as Well as Fire.

Mount Etna can be kind rs well as cru
ell. For half the year the great mountain
is covered with snow, and supplies OF
GOODNESS are drawn from this source in
summer. by the half baked inhabitants
of the plains below. A curious dis
covery arising out of the extreme heat
of 1928 was made in that year. A
search being made on the slopes of the
mountain fo- an additional supply Of
snow. it was found that a huge field
of ice had been blanketed by lava in
some remote age and thus prevented
from melting. 1t was suggested by an
eminent geoogist Of the time that the
ice had been formed from mass of
drift snow. afterward covered by an
enormous thickness Of lava, the heat
of which was kept from the snow by
an intervening layer of volcanic sand.
