home just west OF Denison, is able to

at Manila Sunday.
The music department, under the

ril I'd, in the college chapel Miss
Raine and her pupils have been max
ing preparations for this and it will
surely be a musical treat.

her home at Council Bluffs last week
Wednesday after weeks visit with
her friend, Mrs. J. P. Conner.
The annual tournament of the
Maple Valley Firemen's association
will be held at Ida Grove. The bust
ness men of that place have guaran-
teed $1,000.

days visit at the August Oil home.
He made pleasant call at the Review
Office and renewed his subscription.

automobile Wednesday and spent the
day here shopping and visiting with

Up at Sac City the Commercial club
is considering the question of coun-
ty agriculturist or farm advisor for
Sac county. This is something that it
might be we'll for the local CONNER
cial club to investigate. Already nine
counties in the state have such officers
and others are planning to get them.
Last week Missouri Valley let the
contract for $4,000 worth of street
paving The contract was awarded to
a Mr.. Young, of Woodbine. and calls
for $4,000 worth of curbing and $751;
900 worth OF paving. Missouri Valley
is far less able to pay for street paw
ing than is Denison. Harrison county
land values are way below those of
Crawford county and Missouri Valley
is not a county seat town. Nuff said.
The Review acknowledges a pleas
ant call from William c. Wolfe, OF Bel
mond, Iowa, who is connected with
the Iowa Valley Press at that place.
Mr. Wolfe accompanied Mr.. Clarence
Obrecht, Belmonds contestant in the
district contest which was held here
last Friday evening. and took occasion
to visit this office. He was very fav-
orably impressed with the Reviews
equipment and thought it one of the
best equipped printing offices in the
state.
The many friends of DR.. J. |. Gibson
| will be more than pleased to learn OF
his reappointment by Gov. Clarke as
state veterinarian for term OF two
years. His present appointment does
not expire until July of this year DR..
Gibson has taken great interest in
his office and particularly so since the
hog cholera has been raging to such
an extent in Iowa. Only last week
the doctor was in conference with a
number of prominent breeders of Scott
county in regard to the best method OF
eliminating the dread cholera.
The Misses Retta and Irene NanNess
returned to Mt. Vernon Monday to re-
sumo their duties at Cornell college,
after having spent their spring vaca-
ton in Defison visiting their parents,
Prof. and Mrs. w. c. VanNess. They
tell the story of the shooting of Tom
the Pepper" which took place at Mt.
| Vernon few weeks ago, in very
graphic manner. 1t will be remem-
bered that TON, the Pepper made
his first appearance looking in the
window of their room at Mt. Vernon,
and both young ladies took promi-
| nent part in his final capture.

HORSEPOWE r.
Origin of the Term as Applied to the
Steam Engine.

Among many engineers there arises
discussion as to the incidents sur
rounding the origination of the term
horsepower as applied to the steam
engine. The following quotation from
"Farey on the Steam Engine" pub
lished in 1927, will be welcomed by
many:
THE machinery in the great brew
cries and distlleries in London was
then moved by the strength of horses.
and the proprietors of those estab-
lishmcnts who were first to require
Mr. Watts engines always inquired
what number of horses an intended
engine would be equal to.
I'm consequence Mr.. Watt made
some experiments on the strong horses
employed by the brewers in London
and found that horse of that kind,
walking at the rate of two and one
he,lf miles an hour, could draw $50
pounds avoirdupois by means of a
rope passing over pulley, so as to
raise up that weight, with a vertical
motion, at the rate of 220 feet per
minute. This exertion of mechanical
power is equal to $4,000 pounds Cor 52s
cubic feeD of water raised vertically
through a space of one foot per min
ute, and he denominated it u horse
power, to serve for a measure of the
power exerted by his steam engines"
This estimate is much beyond the
capacity of the average strong horse
Smeaten and other early engineers es-
timated that $4,000 pounds per minute
WAS more aceurate.-Power.

height from ten to fifteen feet. The
most remarkable circumstance con-
nected with this strange lake is that
the stones used in the construction of
this wall vary from three to 100
pounds in weight and there are no
stones whatsoever In the entire coun-
try surrounding the lake for five or
ten miles.
There is no record, history or In
dian legend to tell who brought these
stones to build this wall, and to make
the scene more mystifying a belt of
woodland half mile in length COM
posed of oak surrounds the lake.
With this exception, the entire coun-
try is a rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted about the
same time the wall was built. In
1856 there was a great storm, and the
ice and the lake broke down a large
part of the wall and the farmers liv-
ing in the country were obliged to re-
pair the wall to prevent their farms
from being flooded. This curious lake
covers a ground surface of $500 acres,
and the water is twenty-five feet deep
and as cold and clear as ice. No one
seems to be able to tell where the
water goes to or comes from, but 1t
is always fresh and clear.-C. Gilbert
Percival in Health.

..When I came to look the ground
over the janitor insisted on showing
me Just how the man met his death.
AS an illustration he put his head out
into the elevator shaft. Again the ele-
vator started. the weights came down
as before, and instead of one claim to
settle there were two, although or
course the latter one was set ASIDE on
the ground of gross carelessness.
Another case was where n woman
employed in a steam laundry had four
fingers so crushed that amputatlon
was necessary. The next day in an
attempt to show me Just how the
thing happened another woman lost
her entire hand and amputation was
necessary above the wrist.

DUPLICATING AN ACCIDENT.
Showing How It Happened Is Some
times Dangerous Risk.

Showing just how an accident hap
pened is sometimes serious business
said the adjuster of an accident insur
ance company. The settlement of a
claim isn't made any easier by having
some reckless person insist on illus
trating just how the thing occurred
and then losing a hand, an arm or
perhaps his life, before your very eyes.
II shall never forget an elevator ac-
cident that occurred in the early days
of my adjusting. The elevator was in
en old building which had been re
modelled for apartments and offices.
A tenant rang the elevator bell on
one OF the upper floors. AS there was
no response to his signal he put his
head over the metal lattice work that
inclosed the shaft to see if the eeva-
tor was up or down. Just then the
elevator started, the heavy weights

Wireless Worries Birds.

Since our coast began to be STUDDED
with Marconi stations, it has been no
ticed that the birds do not seem very
happy about it. In the neighborhood
of wireless station birds seem to be
vaguely disturbed and uneasy. gulis
being the chief sufferers.
And when the line Of pigeon race
lies over or near a wireless station 1t
has been noticed that an unusual num-
Der of birds fail to find their way
home. The wireless waves in the air
seem to interfere with the sense of d.
rection.
The cause has not been definitely
settled, but there is no doubt that
birds and animals both are far more
sensitive to mysterious vibrations OF
the air than human beings are. Horses
and monkeys in earthquake lands
tremble with fear hours before m
earthquake arrives.
1t has been suggested that animals
and birds have a sixth, or electric"
sense, and are in touch With the ether
that mysterious fluid which scientists
declare to pervade everything in the
universe both on earth and in air. 1t
is by waves In the ether that wire
less travels.
So when wireless waves start inter-
fering with the ordinary waves OF the
ether, such as those along which light
travels. the birds lose their little heads
and forget their way.-Answers.
