lmost momentous Industrial achieve
ment till the invention of the locomo-
tive"
The religious awakening under
Francis OF Assist occurred. Thode
says: This movement gives men the
first forewarning Of universal freedom
of thought"
Scholars like Alburtus Magnus and
Roger Bacon prepared the ground for
modern natural science by turning the
attention Of men from logical dis
putes to mathematics, physics, as
tronomy and chemistry.
| "A new era in mathematical science
began" says Cantor; this was espe-
cially the work Of Leonardo Of Pisa,
! who was the first to introduce into
Europe the Indian (falsely called Ara
bian) numerical signs; also Jordanus
Saxo, who initiated US into the art Of
algebraic calculation (also originally
invented by the Hindoos.)

tury.
Dante lived in the thirteenth CEN
tury.
Adam de la Halle, born in 1240, was
the first master Of note in the treat
ment of counterpoint. so that with him
modern music in a strict sense begins.
Gevaert. the musical authority, writes:
"Henceforward we must consider the
thirteenth century, formerly so des-
pissed, as the beginner of all modern
art"
Giotto, Cimabue, and Niccolo Pisano
were of the thirteenth century; and
to them the world Is indebted for a
perfectly new art, that of modern
painting.
Almost all the masterpieces Of Goth
ic architecture, 'the Incompatible
beauty Of which we today admire, but
can not initiate" originated in this
century.
The first purely secular university,
Bologna, was founded shortly before
1900.
In the thirteenth century Marco
Polo made his expeditions Of discov-
cry which laid the foundations Of our
knowledge of the earth's surface. This
beginning Of world geography is the
germ that ripens into world civiliza-
ton and world government, which We
are now beginning to grasp as an
ideal.
But most significant Of all, it was in
the thirteenth century that the long
and horrid darkness that had closed
upon mems minds began to lift.
The western world ceased to sleep
and to dream and began to awaken, to
live, to do.
Men, so to speak, turned a corner
in their course, the past vanished from
their sight, henceforth they belong to
the future"
The declaration Of the Magma Char
ia sounds as trumpet blast for all
modern morals, a sentiment not yet
realized, but understood and towards
which we aim:
mo one may be condemned except
in accordance with the laws Of the
land. Right and justice may not be
bought nor refused"
Since June Is, 1915, when this de-
cree went forth, it has become a law
above all laws; senates and kings must
bow to it.

Riall, riding with his advance, saw
this strange and somewhat gaudy ap-
pearing force assembled to oppose him
| Nothing but Buffalo militia on pa
rade," he said laughingly to his Off
GERS. He ordered his nine guns to open
| fire. Instead of retreating however
the Americans broke into quick time,
crossed little creek between the two
forces and scattered in line Of battle.
Their coolness soon showed Riall his
error.
why, they're regulars!" he exclaim-
ed, almost incredulously
The British had hardly realized that
their enemy was advancing instead OF
retreating when the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment, led by Major Jessup. clashed
with the British right flank. Scott had
detached that regiment as soon as the
British had been sighted. They had
struggled through dense wood and
arrived in position just as Scott's di-
rect attack started. Riall found two
hornets stinging him just when he ex-
pected to be swatting a fly. To add to
his discomfort, the Ninth regiment,
under Colonel Leavenworth, aided by
Scott's artillery train of three guns,
under Captain Towson, began a furi-
Gus assault on the British left.
Jessup now halted his charging men
and reformed his troops under severe
fire. He ordered them to fix bayonets
and then charged again. Such cour-
age was too much for the British op-
ponents. Rails right fang crumpled
and gap appeared between 1t and his
center. Scott saw his opportunity.
Turning to his only remaining regi-
ment, the Ninth, he shouted above the
roar Of battle:
"The enemy say we are good at long
shot, but cannot stand cold iron! I
call upon the Eleventh instantly to
give the lie to that slander! Charged"
Lead by Scott and Colonel McNeill,
the Eleventh went forward into the
gap. 1t charged to the right and met
Jessups men. Then 1t turned sharp to
the left and aided Leavenworth's par
ty to sweep the remainder Of the field
Of British. By nightfall the fight was
over. Riall retreated to fortified po-
sition which Scott dared not attack.
The British baggage, wounded and
some munitions fell into the Ameri-
cans hands.
The next day, before Porter and
Ripley arrived to strengthen Scott, Ri
all moved On to the western end Of
Lake Ontario, abandoning the remain
der Of his baggage and stores.-Kan-

at her journeys end.

it might be drained at once, over with

The mother hesitated, pulled by the
old and the new love, by the fear that

NO COLORS FOR FLIES
Expert Says All Colors Look Alike to
the Pests.

the Pests.
One of the items that is given pub
licity in the newspapers is that flies
dislike blue, and if a place is painted
with this color no other discourage
ment will be necessary. To determine
whether there might be any truth in
this story, DR.. Edward Hindle OF the
Quick laboratory at Cambridge, Eng
land, has been making experiments as
to whether flies have any preference
for one color or another. A French
man, Fe, seems to have been the orig
inator of the story about the dislike
for blue, and an Italian, Galli-Valero.
tried to determine if there was pref
erence by using colored paper squares
in a large glazed box. His notes of
flies observed gave green, rose and
yellow at figures about l, azure, ~;
other tints with diminishing numbers,
dark yellow, 5; dark green. .; very
light green, 2; blue, l, and lemon yell
low, l. There was not anything very
definite in this result, for azure and
blue We're at opposite ends or the
scale, while the same was true OF
green and yellow. The experiments OF
Hindle were with sticky cardboard OF
different colors, for which later there
was substituted tly-paper. About
800 flies were caught and the tabu-
lation showed that there is no partic-
ular color that is attractive to the
house fly. 1t is therefore unlikely
that the adoption of any particular
color for the walls of houses will deter
flies from entering them.-Boston

Every Family Has Property Whose
Location is Uncertain.


Location is Uncertain.
have often heard, writes S. F. Da-
Wis in Case and Comment, the lawyers
magazine, of the lost tribes of Israel,
the lost American colony, the lost
Charlie Ross and thousands of other
more common losses; such as lost
money, loss Of appetite, sleep, credit,
self respect and social standing.
We also have here, in the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley. many immense
mounds of earth thrown up by pre-
historical hands, one Of which is call
ed Lost Mound" but just exactly
when and by whom it was lost am
unable to say. To my certain knowl-
edge it has been right there on the
side Of the public road for the past
twenty odd years, and I have the as
|surance of many eminent men of sci
ence that it was right there in that
same Identical spot several thousand
years before 1 was born.
In addition to all of these things
which are or have been lost, 1 have
read of various expeditions being fit
ted out, at a great expense, nearly ev-
cry year, to go and search for lost
treasures, and lost mines, but all of
these things pale into insignifcance
when compared with the time and
money that is being squandered every
year, mostly by people in needy cir
cumstances, in their vain and fruitless
search for lost estates which they
fancy themselves entitled to.
Every family so far as 1 know, and
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief, also has, or has had somewhere
on this mundane sphere, lost estate;
it's size, value and exact location being
vague and uncertain.
I have no idea how many people
have come to me for advice about
their lost estates, and l make it a
practice never to hold out any encour-
agement to any of them, any more
than a physician would encourage a
patient in the belief that he had some
incurable disease, when, as matter of
fact he was suffering from the want of
exercise. I tell all of them that they
may possibly have something, but the
chances are much better for them to
be struck by lightning than to find
anything due them from this source
know of only one other thing that
any man could have that is worse than
a lost estate, and that is ancestors. In
most all cases where a man has lost
estate he can be cured by skillful
handling, but when he gets out and
goes to looking for ancestors, his case
is hopeless and he is lOst-world
without end.

ECONOMIES OF AUTO
Western Bankers Puzzled Over Result
of Expenditure of Millions.

Students of affairs who have been
itures for automobiles are seeing the
question in a new light, says Chica-
go letter. While they still assert that
the country has expended too much
money in that line, and while they
wonder where the ordinary man gets
his funds to pay his automobile bill.
they say there is great economic val
ue in these machines.
One cannot disregard the wealthy
in consideration of this subject, al
though it is little matter how much
they spend so far as their personal
finances are concerned, yet they must
be taken in as a part of the whole.
The best place to study this ques-
ton is in the farm country. 1t comes
near being true that, as the machines
are now constructed and operated, an
automobile can go almost anywhere a
team of horses can go. The way a
good machine goes up hill, plunges
through a mud-hole, wrestles with a
mass of sand or picks its way among
a pile of rocks is a revelation to the
man whose observations have been
mostly urban.
Also the facility with which a far
mer takes to the machine opens up
new fields of thought. To get it ready
and start off is little more to him than
putting a bride on horse and swing
ing his leg over the animals back.
When the farmer has to go to town
five or six miles away to buy his sup
plies, he is not obliged now to take
horse off his job in the field and plod
his way along with an animal who,
perhaps, has had altogether too much
to do for some days. 1t is matter OF
two or three hours, instead of all day
to take this trip and heap the ma
chine up with everything needed by
the family and the hired men. Here
is distinct saving, and If the auto
mobile has cost only $500 or $500 the
amount of capital involved is small
Humane people also see in this tre-
mendous relief to overworked horse
flesh. That, of course, applies to city
and country alike.
In spite of all this one can see a
good deal of worry among the bankers
lest the economies of the automobile
shall fail to keep with the investment
for thousand million dollars is
good bit of capital on which to earn
an income. The more conservative or
the bankers visiting their correspond
ents in Chicago are telling big tales in
regard to expenditures for this pur-
pose. Kansas is especially prominent
in this respect just now, but it is sur
passing other states but little. An
Iowa banker says that $70.0OO,OOO has
gone out of that state to purchase au-
tomobiles.
Chicago, which is still very much of
country town in many ways has
been largely transformed by this de-
vice. The horse drawn vehicle used
to be much in evidence on the streets
aside from the normal intramural
traffic. The buggy and the farm wag-
on waiting on the streets formerly eV-
idenced the large number of country
people in town. but that feature has in
the main passed away.

Combination of Natural and Artificial
Means of Obtaining Ice.
THE home ice supply is sometimes
obtained by using a combination of
natural and artificial means. Where
an elevated water tank is at ones
command. a line of pipe can be car.
ried to perforated pipes placed on the
ceiling of the ice house and during
freezing weather the pressure from
the tank can be used to carry water
through the perforated pipes to be
sprayed into the storage chamber as
long as freezing continues. BY careful
use Of this plan on cold nights and
during freezing days a supply of ice
can be built up in place. The protec-
ton Of such supply is the same as
that Of ice cut and stored in the usual
manner

Of ice. Ice is one of those Injuries
which in many sections Of the coun,
try can be had for the gathering. The
cost Of harvesting and storing it is
not great as compared with the com.
fort that it brings.
The Source of the Ice Supply.
THE source Of the ice supply will
vary with local conditions. In many
sections lakes, rivers, or large streams
will afford supply of suitable ice
without special plan or preparation on
the part of man. In other instances,
where such natural sources are not
easily accessible, small streams or
even the water from a spring can be
stored in an excavation or by means
of dam, so as to afford sufficient
water surface to provide the desired
Ice supply. The harvest area or sur
face will depend upon the tonnage to
be stored and the normal thickness OF
the ice in the locality.
The stream or pond from which
the supply of ice is taken should be
fed from a source free from contain
ination or pollution.
The Principles of Ice STORAGE.
In order to keep so perishable a
commodity as ice it is necessary in
the construction of storage structure
to consider carefully those physical
and mechanical principles which un-
derlie its preservation. First, to keep
well, ice must have a minimum of
surface exposed to the air or to the
packing material. This is most cas-
lily accomplished by piling the ice in
the form of a cube. A mass of ice u
by II feet exposes less surface than
the same tonnage piled in any form
less nearly that of a cube or of a
globe. Second, the keeping OF good
ice depends upon the completeness of
its insulation, whereby it is protected
from external influences, such as heat
and air. Third, drainage is important
because the lack of it interferes with
the insulation. Fourth, the ice itself
must be packed so as to prevent as
completely as possible the circulation
of air through the mass. The more
nearly the mass of ice approaches
that of solid cube, both in shape and
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1914-05-15

Where an abundant supply of nat
ural ice can be harvested annually it
will be a simple matter to maintain
high-class refrigeration by installing
brine circulating system. The prin-
ciple on which this patented system
works is the same as mechanical re-
frigeration, except that the cold is Sc
cured through freezing mixture of
ice and salt In tank in which the
primary coils are located. AS the
brine in these coils becomes chilled
it passes out through the bottom of
the coils and slowly flows through the
coils, which are located in the cooling
room. The heat of this room is abb
sorbed by these chilled pipes and as
the brine warns up it passes out and
up into the primary coils, and in this
way continuous circulation is main
tanned between the two pipe systems,
says the department of agriculture.
For convenience the ice house can
be made part of the structure, so
that the ice can be elevated above the
storage chamber and directly into the
crusher, which can be located in the
attic above the primary coils. The
space above the cooling room might
be utilized as farm shop or for
cooperage If one were to be installed
In connection with an apple orchard
1t would not be advisable to attempt
to install this system without having
an experienced engineer calculate the
piping necessary for any given stor-
age room as well as the cooling tank.
The question of insulation is also a
very important one and should be
carefully specified.
This construction is adapted to
small or to very extensive plants. The
department of agriculture uses this
system in a plant which has been in
stalled at the Arlington experimental
farm. The cooling room is % by 80
feet with S-foot ceiling. Sufficient
space is thereby provided to store 500
barrels of apples.
Combined Ice House and Dairy.
Even where for convenience and
economy it is desirable to have the
dairy under the same roof as the ice
house, it is not satisfactory to attempt
