Made Queer Mistake,

A Pittsburgher who passed through
Washington on his way to New York
is wondering what kind of specimens
of humanity blow into the national
capital. He says he had taken a Penn
sylvania avenue car going up town
from the station, and he sat next to a
mild-looking old gentleman who
seemed to be wrestling with some Sc
cTet sorrow. When the car turned
the corner OF Fifteenth street the
shake-up brought the old fellow out
Of his reverie and he looked up to see
the monument towering over the ad-
jacent vicinity. Pardon me-" he said
to the Pittsburgher, may ask what
that lofty structure over there is?"
That's the monument" said the Steel
City man, who spoke of it as Wash
ingtonians do. What monument"
inquired the old gentleman. The mon
ument to Washington, of course" The
old gentleman gazed at it abstractedly
until it was hid from view. That's
the first time | ever heard Of town
erecting a monument to itself" he sai6

Kentucky in common with numer-
GUS other states. will have to wait
long, at least in a number of instan-
ces, for action by the Treasury De-
partment on the selection of sites for
new public buildings. One OF the
reasons for this is that the supervis-
ing architects office is far behind in
its work, and with probably 300 pro-
jects pending, can OF ly expedite the
work of planning and erecting these
buildings as much as possible.

Costume of a French Physician in the
Early Eighteenth century-A Curl.
Gus Combination Of Foolish Super
stition and Scientific Truth.
lief prevailed that illness was the
result of evil spirits and that a cure
could be effected by frightening them
away.
A good example of the long struggle
which science had to make to over
throw suspicion is shown in the curl
Gus costume worn by French physi-
clans in the early eighteenth century
when treating sufferers from the
plague.
The garb represents sound scientific
knowledge in the protection it gives
the body against infection, and is
quite similar in this respect to that
worn by physicians in plague-stricken
districts today.
But the big, staring glass eyes AMI
the huge artificial nose, which served
no useful purpose, we're survivals o
the idea that disease was caused b,
evil spirits which could be frightene,
away if the physicians appearance
was sufficiently terrifying.-New Yorl

Heat is developed in almost any sub
stance which is subjected to continu-
Gus or very violent friction. 1t is an old
trick for blacksmith to forge with
out fire. Long-continued and violent
hammering on two pieces of wire will
heat them to such an extent that they
can be welded together.
