Of Mr.. Longs will was replaced by q

most important provision of the will.
Detail. Of the trouble over the will
Of Mr.. Long came to light through
proceeding brought by Charles L
Craig, e lawyer, to collect $4,000 fol

Science and Discoveries.

''There is a widespread but erroneous
belief in official circles and among
wealthy philanthropists, writes Sir
Ray Lancaster in the London Tele-
graph, ito the effect that you can hire
a scientific discoverer and then say to
him Discover me this or Discover me
that naming to him a possible and
greatly desired piece of new knowl-
edge and that he will thereupOn pro
coed right away to make the discovery
which you want * s. * But a valu-
able and important scientific discovery
cannot be produced directly in response
to orders given and money expended.
"YOu cannot manufacture scientific
discovery like soap. The great diff
Guilty, in the first place, is to catch that
rare and evasive creature-a scientific
discoverer-and when you have found
him you have to humOr him and let
him do as he fancies Then he will
discover things, but probably not the
things which either you or he wanted
or expected"

People and People.

One of the worst things about people
is that they are ashamed of their estate.
So far as we know, this is true of no
other biological specimen. Dogs have
no objection to being dogs, cats are
quite satisfied to be cats. and so on.
but people constantly are trying to get
away from the fact that they are peo-
pie, and, therefore, that they are like
everybody else. They are constantly
seeking to be magnates and bosses and
representatives and professors and
bachelors of this and doctors of that
and masters of the other. Sometimes
we can find a fellow who will admit
that he is a real man." but never one
who will admit that he is just man.
Boys will be boys. and girls will be
girls, but people simply will not be
people.-Life.

ming. When about one mile from the

engine and wetting the coil. Unable
to start the engine in any way, they
drifted toward Lake Michigan for
three house; in the meantime a sale,
accompanied by rain, set in and the
bay, white with foam, tossed the
launch about. The party was five miles
from the shore when sighted by the
gasoline tug Edna G. The launch was
tCWed in with difficulty.

dollar" Comes From Dutch.

The abbreviation ''Ps.," to signify
pesos, was the origin of the American
dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When America
was first settled the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for
the trade of the world. The word dol
lar is but q corruption of the Dutch
''thaler'' or ''thaller," a coin much used
in commerce at that period and which
superseded the 'pieces Of eight of
Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster.
which was the Spanish name for
pieces of eight" was worth approx
mately the same as the thaler, and as
the Dutch name was easier to say it
found place in our language in the
corrupted form, while the Authorization
for the peso remained as the sole re-
hinder of the Spanish mintage in our
financial records.-Indianap News.

alfalfa meadows meadows early in the
spring followed by severe scratching
with what is called the alfalfa cultiva-
tor, sharp spring tooth harrow. He
tried it on one of his best alfalfa
meadows and that field is we'll advanc-
ed in growth over all others. The
spreading of several carloads of finely
ground limestone on the snow over his
alfalfa meadows last winter is showing
good returns. There is no crop that
makes better returns for good care
than alfalfa.

Marion Ames, who has been in the en-
ploy of the bank for the last year and a

with her brother, Quincy Ames, and
wife, for trip to California.
The petitions already received by the
council request the oiling of streets
totaling a distance of over three miles,
and represents over one third of the
total milage of the city. No doubt the
excessive dust of the past two weeks,
before the recent rain, hurried some of
the petitions up bit. But the people
of the city generally have come to the
desire the oil instead of dust and dirt.
1t is generally held that the oiling of
the streets also saves the city consider
able money that otherwise it would be
necessary to spend in the up-keep of
the streets.

The WEIGHT of Crowds.

In the building of theater galleries
and grand stands the supporting
strength of the structure has to be
carefully worked out. This is done by
multiplying the area in square feet by
the pressure which it is estimated
crowd exerts per square foot and max
ing the supports proportionately strong.
At one time the weight of crowd
was determined at between 80 and 1902
pounds per square foot, but expert
ments have shown this to be a great
lnderestimation and that the weight
exerted is now calculated at from 1913
TO 1873 pounds.-Exchange
