MUNITIONS BOARD OF OLD.

There was to some extent a
parallel to the new ministry of mu-
nitions in the old board of ordnance
which dated back to the reign of
Henry VIII and lasted until the
Crlmean war. 1t was separate gov
eminent department, responsible to
parliament alone for its work and
expenditure. 1t had at its head an
official called the master general of
the ordnance, who was invariably a
distinguished soldier Marlborough,
Wellington, Anglesey and Hardinge
figure in the list of masters. The
work of the board was divided among
responsible officers who dealt with
fortresses, barracks, ornaments, am
munition. etc. And the existing
ordnance survey was once q depart
ment of the board.-London Chron-
icle.

GASOLINE PRODUCTION.

The great increase in gasoline con-
sumption has STIMULATED interest in
all means Of supplementing the sup
ply, and its condensation from nat
ural gas has not been overlooked, al
though it has only recently become
of commercial Importance. Some
plants were operated to, a limited de-
gree with commercial success in
Pennsylvania as early as 1904.
The subject had interested in
vestors many years before, one of the
earliest patents relating to the sub
iect issuing in 1866to johnson in
which is disclosed the art of liquefy-
ing the vapors that rise with or are
forced up with petroleum. This and
other patents are discussed in a bull
letin issued by the bureau of mines
at Washington.

FOUND THAT COURTESY PAYS
Industrial Concerns Are Carefully Eos
tering the Habit Among All Their
Employees,

Industrial concerns have learned
pretty well that courtesy, toward Gus
toners, pays. The telephone COM
panies and the railroads hold that
politeness renders high dividends.
Strangely enough, these same con-
Germs are just getting around to the
point of learning that the same rule
holds good toward employees. The
experience Of a Pennsylvania rail-
road superintendent, reported in the
course of a number of efficiency ex-
periments, illustrates the point.
This executive found that posting
in a public place the faults of his
employees failed to reduce the num-
Der of delinquencies. He tried an
other tack. He began posting COM
mendations on the bulletin board.
The number of cases demanding dis
cipline dropped by two-thirds.
Of course it is understood that
courtesy is not synonymous with ia
miliarity. A palavering employer
generally is nuisance to the en-
ployee and an, enemy to discipline
But courtesy of the above sort, which
is simply consideration for the
other mans viewpoint, is first aid
to efficiency of the best sort.

FRIENDS MADE ON VACATION
Remarkable If One Does Not Pick Up
a New Comrade Who Is
Worth Keeping.

It's a strange vacation when one
doesn't find new comrade. This is
natural enough when every new
place, even every new year in an old
place brings a different combination
Of humanity. It's easy to find COM
rades, for everyone is bent on the
same errand, rules are relaxed, and
two or three days of play let you
farther into fellow-human beings
heart than a score of conventional
meetings. You begin to know the
man you fish with, and if the biting
is poor, you know him pretty well.
Even when companions don't talk
much, the thoughts that come are
likely to be spoken from the inner
part of man that is very far from
the surface in working hours.
This making of friends is one of
the best things about a vacation. 1t
is just as truly re-creating your life
as are the muscular exercise and the
opening of your lungs to deep drafts
of pure air. 1t is opening your
soul to fresh human influence,
widening your sympathies, giving
you one more anchor to windward,
one more stake in life. All that may
be put down with the friendship pos
sibilities of a vacationt and with all
that store of new health to seek, it
oughtn't to be necessary to say much
about the kind of friend to look for.
There is only one kind of friend
worth having-only one kind worth
bothering about even for the pastime
of a week or two.-Milwaukee Jour
nal.

PREHISTORIC MAN2


The skeleton, nearly complete, of
what scientists declare is the bones
of a prehistoric man who inhabited
America probably 100000 years ago
were washed up by heavy tide just
above Santa Monica on the Malibu
coast. The head of the skeleton is
missing. The bones give the appear
ance of never having been exposed to
air, and scientists believe they have
been buried in the ocean sands for
centuries. Judging by the size of
the bones, the man was Of immense
strength.

VILLAGE OF CHESS PLAYERS
Game Has Amazing Popularity In
Strobeck, Saxony, Where All In
habitants Are Proficient.

Strobeck, a small Saxon village
not far from Halberstadt, is prob
ably the only place in the world
where chess is taught in the schools.
There, however, the children carry
their game boards through the streets
Just as many youngsters in Ameri-
can villages pack their states be-
tween home and school.
Chess in Strobeck is just as much
a study as is reading or arithmetic.
Young and old, men,, women and
children alike, study over their
chessboards day in and day out.
Games may be seen in progress in
the homes, in the gardens and in
public gathering places at almost
any time.
The reason for this practice is
somewhat clouded. But, according
to an old legend, which doubtless
holds some elements of fact, the GUS
tom originated in the eleventh CEN
fury, when Bishop Buko of Halber-
stadt took refuge in the town after
being exiled by Henry Nv.
AS the story goes, he lived in an
old tower, which still stands today,
and spent his time teaching the vii
layers the game of chess.
Regardless of whether this is true,
chess as played at Strobeek is quite
different from the modern game, and
conforms closely to rules known to
have been followed as early as the
fifteenth century.-Popular Me-
chanics.

Loss Of Life In Mines.

Holmes reviews the investigations
made by the bureau of mines to
safeguard the miners from electri-

apparatus has been responsible for
mine explosions and mine fires that
have extensively destroyed both
life and property.
In the investigation of the igni-

More Evidence Against Trusts.

Washington, Feb. 12-Supple-
mental TO documentary evidence
that the trusts have financed op-
position to immigration restriction,
published last week by the A. F.
of l., President Gompers has made
public an agreement between the
National Liberal immigration
league and Bella N. Sekely, field
representative of the league in
which the latter pledges itself to
pay Sekely the following commits
sion on all moneys raised:
Sums over $40, 900 10 per cent.
Over 5000 and mp to SO, 900,
commission of Is per cent GO
per cent.
Over 1000 and up to SIS, 900,
20 per cent.
Sums of ST 900 or less, Is per
cent.
1t is agreed that Sekely shall re-
ceive commission of 10 per cent
on all contributions made by parties
one year after their first contribu-
ton.
The agreement provides that
when a contribution Is made by
trusts or holding companies the
amount IS to be divided among the
several concerns. The United
States Steel Corporation is used to
illustrate this point.
With the agreement IS reprinted
a letter from N. Behar, managing
director of the league, to Sekely.
In which the writer closes as fol-
lows: No more so, since I must
count the sous and the pfennigs. -
