When You "See Stars"

The man who when struck violently
on the head says he saw stars is not
far from telling the truth. The fact
is that there is phosphorescent pow
er in the eye which does not attract a
persons attention under ordinary con
ditions. but which Is distributed and
reveals itself whenever the head gets
a sudden shock and sometimes even
in the act of sneezing. A blow on the
head results in pressure of the blood
vessels upon the retina, causing either
total darkness or a faint blue light
which floats before the eyes. and it is
in this faint blue light the Imagination
discerns the thousands of fantastic
forms and figures that by general ac-
ceptance are termed stars; hence,
while the astronomical display SO fire.
quently mentioned may be said to be
entirely creature of the imagination,
there is at least some foundation for
the idea.

Who Discovered the Kangaroo

W. B. Alexander of the Western Aus
tralian museum at Perth. w. A., has
recently corrected popular mistake
In the history of natural history. The
discovery of the kangaroo family Is
generally credited to Sir Joseph Banks
and is supposed to have occurred dur
ing Captain Cooks first voyage in ITO.
This date. it appears, is nearly 100
years too late. When the Dutch East
India company's ship, the Batavia, un-
der command of Captain Pelsart, was
wrecked on the Abrolhos islands in
1929 the survivors encountered among
other strange things the Dana walla-
by, the first member of the kangaroo
family known to Europeans. Captain
Pelsart described it as a species of cat
about the size of hare, noted it's re-
markable hind legs and described In
considerable detail the abdominal pouch
for the young and the use of it.

Can You Go Straicht7

The above question is not intended
to be personal. We are quite sure that
you are a good, steady going citizen;
but, all the same. we are equally sure
that you cannot walk straight without
the help of your eyes Naturally your
tendency Is to walk in a circle. and
you would do this il your eyes were
pot constantly correcting the tendency
You may easily test this. Place two
stakes in your garden about eight feet
apart, take up position some sixty
feet away, get some one to blindfold
you and then try TO walk between the
two stakes. You will find that you
are going In circle.
Why? The explanation is very sim
pie. You walk faster with one foot
than with the other. Everybody does
One leg always takes a longer stride.
with the result that you naturally
walk more to one size than the other.

Unique Bible Character.

One of the few men in the Bible
who have nothing recorded against
them is Joseph of Arimathea. Every
one Of the evangelists has good word
to say for Joseph. One says he was
an honorable counselor" another that
he was a just man." another that he
was "a rich man." another that he was
''secret disciple" Only one of the
eyangelists speaks of the birth of
Christ. but all four of them erect a
monument to Joseph of Arimathea.
When he became disciple we are not
told DR.. Andrew Bonar of Scotland
says he can just imagine that Nico-
demus may have been moved by Jo-
seph of Arimathea to believe in Christ.
At all events. Nicodemus didn't come
out very boldly himself. He didn't get
his discipleship out very clear They
were both members of the sanhedrin,
but it is evident that none knew that
Joseph was a secret disciple until a
certain night.-Christian Herald.

original has been wholly defaced: but,
judging from copies, this work is uni

his celebrated portrait of Mona Lisa

RECORD PRICE LAND SALE.

The purchase price is given US as
$4,000, or 800 dollars an acre. This,
we believe, is the highest price ever
paid for land in this immediate vicinity,
considering the building improvements
are not of a very extensive nature.

sILo PROVES WORTH.
Cottonwood Farmer Doubled Cream
Production of Cows on Silage.

j. B. Luchtfeld, who resides north of
town, opened his silo recently and is
already quoting some interesting fig
ures to prove the value of a silo to the
farmers of this section. Mr.. Luchte-
field erected a silo last summer and
After opening it this fall he began
feeding the silage to his milk cows and
noted big increase in milk and cream
production almost at once. At the time
he was milking five cows, three of
which were MIXED twice daily and two
once a day. Before starting to feed
them silage he was getting 16 pounds
of cream week from the cows and the
first week after they were fed the
silage ration the cream totaled %
pounds. Mr.. Luchtefeld says the in
crease was due entirely to the use of
silage and this first experiment has
proven to him complete satisfaction
that he cannot farm in future with
out the silo. He says the pigs and
chickens like the silage also and seem
to thrive on it better than before it
was made a part of their ration.
Five of the farmers of this section
put up silos during the past summer, b
Luchtefeld filling his with clover, w
B. Hussman using corn, James Wright
using field peas, Herman Hanson using
peas and oat hay, and J. B. Luchtefeld
using plain oat hay. The results OF
their various experiments will be
watched with interest and there is lit
tie doubt but that numerous silos vii

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Making Them Is Very Delicate and
Complex Process.

Almost all the high explosives have
cotton as their base. 1t is true that
very good sporting powder can be
made from wood pulp; but, as the ed
itor of Nature remarks. 1.-THE artillerist
would be in great difficulty If he were
provided with such a propellant, be-
cause In order to obtain any sort OF
regularity the nitration of the wood
pulp has to be kept at low point, and
the ballistics. on which the artillerist
depends, would be quite thrown out"
High explosives are cellulose highly
nitrated-that is, highly charged with
nitrogen. This process consists of i'm
mersing cotton waste chat has been re-
peatedly teasled, picked and dried In
mixture of nitric and sulphuric ac-
ids. in the proportion of II per cent
suphuric acid, 81 per cent nitric acid
and 8 per cent water. After the acids
have acted for the required time they
are removed. The cotton is washed
repeatedly and boiled several times In
water. 1t is then pulped. partly dried
and pressed into molds.
The manufacturer does his best to
regulate his output, so that it shall con-
tain approximately eleven molecules of
nitrate to the quadruple molecule of
cellulose, as shown In the formula, or
content of nitrogen that ranges be-
tween 1898 and 1905 per cent
The process is delicate and complex,
for the proportions of acids and water
must be exact and all must be chem
ically pure. Besides this. the cellulose
must be of uniform grade, which is a
most difficult thing to obtain.

Odd Fellows hall and the building was
filled almost to capacity both nights.
The dramas and specialties between
acts were pronounced first class by all
who saw them and the young ladies did
so well that it would be hard to decide
between them as to excellence of work.
Many persons from neighboring
towns attended the fair and all were
well pleased with the entertainment
provided.-Cottonw Chronicle.
