PARADE PERMIT NECESSARY
TO MOVE FOREIGN SHIPMENT

Chicago's Christmas shoppers wit
messed a very unusual sight yesterday,
when the Channell Chemical company
hauled shipment of O-Cedar Oil mops
through the business section of the
city, and which was consigned to a
foreign port.
This shipment, weighing IT'S tons
and valued at $4,000, formed such a
long procession that it was necessary
to first obtain parade permit before
the merchandise could be taken to the
freight station.
A squad of mounted police headed
this unique parade, which was FIVE
blocks in length, and for some time all
down town traffic was completely
blocked. The shipment was an outright
sale and taxed the load capacity of
"a immense trucks, each of which was
decorated with American flags and car
ried bunting signs reading, cone order
to one country"
This is by far the largest single or
der of oil mops for floors ever shipped
by any concern, at one time, and is the
result of an aggressive campaign on
the part of the Channell Chemical COM
pany for foreign business. Since the
world war began this company has sold
more than 100000 mops in Europe
alone.
A previous export shipment, fully in
sured at its value of $4,000, and ear
ried by the Steamship Inkum, went to
the bottom when this boat was torpe-
doed recently by a submarine

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle lobe Lived Up to His Reputa-

His Bet.

There lives in a certain Vermont
town a quaint old character known
as Uncle Tobe," who is SO con-
servative of action and speech that 1t
is almost difficult ut times to get any
thing definite from him. Uncle lobe,
like the Father of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told a lie,
and in addition he is so cautious Of
statement that he has never been
known to tell an Innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor. in con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
a bet of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't SO. A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid in the barn.
Good morning, Tobe," said the WIS.,

Farmer boys from the southwestern

Manhattan as result of the fine kafir
they raised last summer.
The boys are the prize winners in
the contest inaugurated by Lee Gould,
farm demonstration agent of the state
agricultural college, with headquar-
tiers in Dodge. Last spring he prom
ised a trip to Manhattan to the win
ner of Kafir contest in each county
in his district. The boys planted an
acre of Kafir. tended it without irri-
cation, harvested the crop and sold it.
They were judged on the size of the
yield, the essay each wrote telling of
his cultivation method and the net
profit made from the crop. Some of
the counties made arrangements to
send several boys ON the trip where
their showing was unusually good.
The boys will spend an entire week
at the college at the annual meeting
of the demonstration agents and the
state agricultural meeting getting
pointers on scientific farming. The
winners are: Edwards county, Joseph

Detecting Impurities in Honey.

Biological tests of money are de-
scribed by j. Thoni in the Schweizer-
ische Bienen-Zeitung. Such tests are
necessary for detecting artificial or
adulterated honey, when the natural
product is almost perfectly initiated
as to its physical and chemical prop
critics.
Two tests are described in detail
the diastase reaction, based on the
fact that honey contains a diastatic
ferment secreted by the bee, which
in contact with soluble starch, is cap
able of Transforming the latter into
sugar; and the precipitin reaction
based on the fact that honey contains
a special protein secreted by the bee
which, when inoculated into rabbits
causes the formation of antibodies in
the blood serum. These antibodies
when mixed with the honey under
examination, yield a precipitate, and
the quantity of this precipitate indi-
Gates the kind and amount of the
adulteration.

STRANGE Scorpion Found.

A curious, strange specimen of liz
ard or scorpion was captured by Wal
ter T. Todd near the trolley station
of the Chambersburg. Greencastle &
Waynesboro Street Railway company
at Highfeld, Pa. The reptile, or what
not, was about eight inches in length
and the color of brick DUST 1t was
found lying on the ground only few
feet from the station and, on account
of the rain and cool weather, was un-
able to use its locomotive powers very
actively and was easily captured.
The reptile had an elongated body
without scales. four short legs and
short tail. and its body was almost as
tough as rubber. Where 1t came from
no one seems to know.
