The original Kaiser Wilhelm canal
was begun only 81 years ago and was
finished 10 years ago; nevertheless,
although it was supposed to have been
built large enough to accommodate the
ships of the future for long period of
years. it was soon found that it must
be greatly enlarged to keep pace with
the increase in the size of the ships.

locks of the old canal were 145 meters

The best preventive against an at

that the potatoes are well dried before

XaWnino.

Doctor Naegeli, professor of medi-
cine at Liege university, commends
the practice of yawning, which ap-
pears to annoy Lord Charles Beres-
ford 80 profoundly. A good yawn, the
Belgian professor maintains, is excel
lent for all the breathing organs; but
there is an art In yawning just the
same as there is an art in breathing.
Every yawn should be as deep as pos
sible, so as to bring all the muscles
OF the throat and chest into action
and also to fill the vital organs with
a current of fresh air. Doctor Nae
geli has known of many cases in
which a sore throat has been alleviat-
ed by persistent yawning. But how
are you to insure a yawn? Listen
to speeches?

FIRST USED Fc2 AMUSEMENT
inventors Of Gunpowder Apparently
Had No Idea of lite De-
structive Qualities.

That gunpowder was well known Guw
q century or 80 before it was used In
guns appears probable from fnvestiga-
tions in connection with celebration
at Oxford of the anniversary Of tho
birth of Roger Bacon, the Literary D4-
gest states. Bacon's claims to the In
vention Of gunpowder are often pressed
by English writer's in opposition to
those of Berthold Schwartz, who Is
generally said to have invented 1t
about 1344-a century after Bacon's
time. 1t seems certain from the lat
ter's writings that he was familiar
with the composition, not as its inven-
tor, but because of its use In various
countries of the world. Apparently,
however, 1t was regarded merely as
f1rework, a means Of producing sud
den and brilliant fame, and it's users
were far from suspecting that In a
confined space the expansive power
Of its gases could be put to use In
hurting projectiles. Says an editorial
writer in the Revue des Questions
Scientifique: The text that we have
studied allows no further doubt that
Bacon knew OF gunpowder. On page
213. under the title OF the Power Of
the Lombards,' he restates what he
has already said in his Opus Majus'
of the explosive properties Of this
powder, but he also informs US that
1t is known In various parts Of the
world. and that it Is composed Of
saltpeter. sulphur and willow char

CONSTANT PASTURE FOR PIGS

Movable Fences Should Be EN-
ployed to Avoid TrampIinq.

Pigs in clover are popularity SUD-
posed to be In the ideal animal en-.
yironment. but the cold facts show
that pigs in rape do better.
Recently 81 pigs fed on rape for
eight weeks gained 81 pounds more
weight than the same number fed on

1t is mistake to assume, however.
that rape alone makes an ideal food
for gain. They must have some grain.
Fed on rape or clover alone, pigs will

Rape should be fed by means of
