GOOD MONEY IN C0RNC0BS
Sly Factories of Missouri Use Millions
of Them Annually for
Making Pipes.

Millions of corncobs discarded by
farmers are annually turned into an
available and useful commodity, worth
more than five hundred thousand col
lars, by six factories Of Missouri.
The commodity is the corncob pipe.
The six factories produced 2S,la1,S72
cob pipes In 1872
Shipments were made to Canada,
Europe, Asia. South America, Africa,
Australia and New Zealand, besides
the large number sent into every state
Of the union.
Not less than 1900, oOe corncobs
were utilized for the output of 2S,171,-
ST. pipes, allowing two bowls to each
cob, and figuring for those which were
wasted in the process of manufacture.
The cobs used by the pipe factories
we're the largest o~btainable. Allowing
100 to the bushel, it took 10000 bush
els OF cobs. 1t took $50 men and Y
women to make the pipes. They were
paid s155,406.
The raw material put into the pipes
cost $685. 61, half OF which went TO
the farmers for corncobs. The indus
try represents an investment of $780,

Hidden Secrets Of Disease.

Although measles and c~hickenpox
are about the most common diseases
in every household. their germs have
eluded the most elaborate attempts at
detection. Back in the eighteenth
century gengeg conquered ~~nsg,BSs
with vaccination: h.e the most indus,
trious seaycn For 80 years has dis.
closed no trace Of the smallpox mi
crobe. Medical men deal with an I'M
known agent today, just.as Jenner did
100 years ago,
Reed and Carroll showed how to
conquer yellow fever; no one, how.
ever, has succeeded in imprisoning
any micro-organism of the disease.
Scarlet fever. one of the most con-
tagious diseases known, has also sue
cessfully hidden its secret. Pasteur,
who discovered a way to control
hydrophobia, searched patiently for
its organism, but did not find it.
Typhus fever, the scourge of Amer
lean cities so years ago, still prevails
in attenuated form; but no one has
isolated its agent. Trachoma. a dis
ease introduced chiefly by immigra-
ton, has also so far concealed its def
mite cause.

TWO SIDES TO MANS NATURE
Such Was voltaIre's Explanation OF
fragrant Contradiction So Free
quentIy Noticed.

VoItaire, a precursor of the French
Revolution, asked why the same man,
who has seen with a dry eye the most
atrocious events, and ever committed
crimes with sangfroid, will weep at
the theater at the representation OF
similar events and crimes? 1t is, that
he sees them not with the same eyes;
he sees them with those of the author
and the actor. He is no longer the
same man; he was ba%rbarous, he was
agitated with furious passions. when
he saw an innocent woman killed,
when he stained himself with the
blood of his friend; he became a man
again at the representation of it."
The question Is much more interest
Ing than the answer, which is truly
theatrical. Perhaps there isn't an ex-
PLANTATION. Carlyle does not explain.
but states the fact that R~obespierre
of the Terror refused to take part In
a legal proceeding that might have
resulted in capital punishment
M. Anatole France, Socialist, has
said that a danger in loving your fell
lowmen is that it is likely to inspire
a disposition to kill your fellowmen.
That may explain R~obespierre. But
the explanation remains unexplained

SECRET OF RADlUM's ENERGY
Particles Shot From 1t Are Declared
to Travel Through Atmosphere
at Speed of Light.

The energy, or power, of a moving
object is proportional to Its weight
and its velocity. A motorcycle run
ming at 80 miles an hour will strike
as hard a blow as a twoton trucE
moving at three miles an hour. A
small caliber high-power rifle bullet
will strike as hard as a ton weight
travelling at slow speed. Microscopic
bodies travelling at high velocitfes
have an energy equal to that of much
heavier bodies travelling slowly.
This is the reason radium possesses
such enormous energy. The PARTICLES
shot out from it are microscopically
small, but they travel with the speed
of light, or $4,000 miles a second. 1t
has been well said that q spiders web
running over pulleys at the speed OF
light would give enough energy to run
all the machinery IN England. A small
stream of water under great pressure
will tear down a mountain more rap
idly than a ~slow-running river. ~

CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS
brated Much as 1t Was
Centuries Age.

A Bedouin bridegroom, OF his we'd
ding day, must make his bride a pres
ent of a silk handkerchief filed with
nuts, sweetmeats, little sugar cakes,
and m~arzipan, also five silver rings for
her fingers. An old pair of tellik
(Arab shoes) are purposely placed in
the room in which the lovers meet.
He seizes one shoe, and she the other,
and whichever Of them can hit the
other first will be the ruler Of the
household after. This is looked upon
az an unfailing sign, and there may
be something in it.
For seven days after the wedding
the bridegroom enjoys himself. wan.
dering through the gardens of the
oasis, doing no work, always accom-.
panied by a group of his friends. But
On the seventh day he must keep a
sharp lookout, for on that day his
friends will try suddenly to play a
trick on him. If he escapes them, well
and good; then he can run to his
house and be safe. If not, they snatch
his clothes from him ana beat him
which seems a poor return for the
feasting and entertainment. But it L

TRAITS or THE SCANDINAVIAN
Writer Sees Sweetness In Their Ma
ture, But II Is Seldom Visible
on the Surface.

There is sweetness in the Scandina-
Wan nature, but you reach 1t deep
down past flint. The late Governor
Johnson of Minnesota drew people be-
cause he had imagination and tender
ness-traits none too common among
his people, They are undemonstra-
tive in the family. and il is not sur
prising that their youth on the farms
are restless from heart hunger. Be
sides, there Is dearth of recreation.
The Norwegian has his violin, but the
Swedish folk dances we hear so much
about were not brought In by the I'M
migrants. They lack the German
Maennerchor, T~urnverein and Schuet-
zenfest. 1t is unusual to find them
organizing athletic sports. Their So
cial gatherings center in the church,
which, of course, acts as a damper
on the spirits of the young. They
love fun. to be sure, but have not the
knack of making it. Shut up within
themselves, hard to reach, slow to
kindle and dominated by an austere
hell-fire theology, they are too often
the prey of somber moods and victims
of suicide and insanity.
An experienced social worker finds
selfshness the besetting sin OF the
Scandinavians he deals with. If a set
Element class gets a or a camp
it objects to any others using it. In
any undertaking they have in com
mon with other ~nationalities they try
to get the best for themselves. They
withhold aid from the distressed of
another nationality, while the Irish
will respond generously to the same
appeal. A labor leader notices that
the Scandinavian workingmen are
hard givers."
On the other hand, an observer re
marks: For a suffering person, cir.
culate your subscription paper among
the Irish; for a good cause, circulate
1t among the Scandinavians."-Cen
