METALS THAT GROW TIRED

Like human beings, metals get tired
with over-working and needs holiday
and complete rest in order to recover
from the strain and rush OF modern
life 1t was Lord Kelvin who showed
that metals suffer from fatigue. He
kept iron wires in constant motion
during a week. and watched the way
they acted. At the end OF the week
they had lost considerable amount OF
their original elasticity. He gave
them days rest, and they complete
ly recovered. He further experiment
ed, and discovered that an iron bar
after a three weeks rest. gained ten
per cent. in elasticity. In repeated ex-
periments he found that steel and
wrought iron deteriorited very rap
idly IL they we're worked continuously.
and. in the long run, break up com
lpletely, as the human being does.

VELOCITY OF TORNADO

An effort has been made to estimate
the velocity OF the wind in a tornado,
baslng It on some OF its effects. A
pine board was driven through tele-
graph pole, another was driven three
inches into the trunk Of tree, and II
was calculated that such effects could
have been produced onlt by fore lit
tie less than a cannon ball travelling
between 500 and 800 miles an hour.
The highest yelocities of the wind
have only been estimated, never meas
ured for there are no instruments
that will measure them. Robinson
thermometer was blown away when
registering 120 miles an hour in ia
maica on November Is last. The
highest velocity on record is 1876 miles
an hour, measured by an thermometer
on Mount Washington. January IL.

CAD WHIP OF CASTOR

Here is the verger OF the ancient
church of Calstor. Lincolnshire, Eng.
land. holding the gad whip which for
many years was cracked on Palm
Sunday. Legend says the curious
fashion Of cracking a cad whip dates
back to Saxon times. and arose In
this way: The lord of the manor of
Broughton, in Lincolnshire, held land
under the lord OF the manor os Hun
den. near Caistor; he was cruel and
hard man, and having caught boy
trespassing he beat him so severely
with a CAD as to cause his death.
After a time he became so remorseful
that he confessed his crime and the
following punishment was meted out
to him: He was annually to provide
a whip like that with which the boy
was beaten. and purse containiny
30 pieces OF silver. With these he
must repair to Caistor church on
Palm Sunday morning and. standing
outside the north porch. must crack
the whip three times at the begin
ming Of the second lesson. After this

end Of the stock fastening the same

with whip on shoulder. he was to walk
slowly into church, kneel before the
reading desk and wave the whip
thrice over the head OF the officiating
minister. then continue to hold It in
that position until the lesson was end
ed. After this the whip-bearer was
to rise and to take the whip into the
pew of the lord of the manor of Hun
den and remain there till the end OF
the service. Finally, the whip was
carried to the house Of his llege lord
OF Hunden and left there. On the due
performance of this ceremony his ten
ure of the manor of Broughton was to
depend The whip was to suggest the
ecourging that Christ bore for sin
ners; the money symbolized the
pieces of silver paid to Judas for the
betrayal OF his saviour; cracking the
whip denoted that the weapon was

SALOON IS TOLERATED

The saloon is an outlaw and a null
sance, and it lives by sufferance where
1t lives at all. You do not defend
the saloon as an institution; you toll
crate 1t, II you tolerate 1t at all. on
the theory that II you tried to abolish
is you might get something worse.
You cannot build a slaughter house
in your block without consulting the
people around you, because you can
not confine the odors to your own
land, and yet you establish a saloon
and I'll the air with poison ard then
say TO the people who must breathe It
and suffer It that they have no right
to protest-William jennings Bryan.

HUMANS AS BAR0METERS

Many human beings are notoriously
sensitive not merely to the weather
of today, but also TO the weather OF
tomorrow. Arthritic, rheumatic, and
neuralgia patients need no barometer
or weather map to tell them when bad
weather is approaching. Old wounds
give trouble at such time, and mem
bers long since amputated reassert
their power to cause pain. These phe-
nomena are so well known that 1t
would be sheer faulty in any scien-
tihc man to deny them. merely be-
cause he cannot understand them; yet,
strangely enough, they have been the
subject OF very little systematic inves-
tigation. A special case under this
general head is the extreme sensitive
ness OF some persons to the approach
of thunderstorms. The pathological
condition experienced by such persons
before thunderstorm must not be
confused with ordinary dread of thun-
der and lightning. In fact, this con-
dition often comes on before there
are any ordinary indications of the
storms approach. and the symptoms
commonly subside before the storm is
over.
Attention was called to this condi-
ton some years ago by DR.. c. NJ.
Beard, and 1t was given the name of
"astraphobia." Cases of its occurrence

SETTING TREES ALONG ROADS
WIndbreak Should Be Placed at Least
125 Feet From BuIldlngs-Avoid
Drifting Of Snow.

CBy C. c. CARPENTER, Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Every set of ranch buildings should
be protected by a shelterbelt or wind
break; but OF what ever the protec-
tion consists, 1t should not be close
to building paths or roads used in
winter since the drifts OF snow form
ing to the leeward of such protection
will be a great nuisance during the
seasons when there is heavy snow
fall
The windbreak should be placed at
least 1875 feet from roads or build
ings and II shade Is desired single
trees should be grown where wanted.
II shady roadway is wanted, a sin
gle row Of trees will answer the pur-
pose and there is slight danger from
drifts in this kind of a planting.
