The tuning fork was the invention OF
John stone. roy q. trumpeter, In 1911.
Though the pitch OF forks varies slight
ly with changes OF the temperature or
by rust. they are the most accurate
means OF determining pitch. Tuning
forks are capable of being made OF any
pitch within certain limits. but those

HARVEY AND THE BLOOD.
How His Theory Of Circulation Was
Born and Demonstrates.

1t was while studying at Padua I'M
der a professor who had discovered
the valves In the veins that Harvey
discovered the circulation of the blood
He was curious to know what these
valves were for, and. finding that they
all pointed In the same direction, he
could think Of no reason for their ex-
istence unless 1t might be to prevent
the blood from flowing backward.
Placing a lgature ON his arm, he
found that one set OF vessels, the ar
teries. became distended with blood on
the side nearest to the heart. while
the veins became distended with blood
on the side farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
flowed from the heart through the ar
teries and back to the heart through
the veins. 1t also explained the beat
ing OF the heart and the throbbIng OF
the pulses.
But the medical and surgical world
received this epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published book
on his discovery. and his practice fell
Off considerably. Doctors scoffed, and
the public looked ON him as crank.
1t was Il quarter of century after
the book appeared before the discovery
was accepted by the learned men of
the world.-New York World

EARLY LIFE IN WISCONSIN,


a fierce encounter, of which his re-
mains give mute testimony. Several
ribs on one side were badly broken by
the terrible impact of his enemy. The
fractures did not heal so readily as
they would have in his youth, and up
on mending left an irregular mass of
bone about the broken ends.
1t is said that the death of every
wild creature is a tragedy, and so it
proved in this case of this valiant old

but little altered. Then stream cut
its way across the marsh and gradu-
ally dug it's channel into the mud at
the bottom. After an exceptional
flood this little stream in Richland CO.

again brought the mastOdon TO light.
Today this specimen is to be seen at
the University of Wisconsin in the
geology museum. Some of the bones
were missing, but these were readily
restored from plaster. The students

prepared for the News by the geol-
ogy department at The University
OF Wisconsin,
Perhaps most peculiar of all the emf
grants to Wisconsin in the Ice Age
were the elephant-like creatures that
we call the mastadons and mammoths.
Some years ago wonderful skeleton
was unearthed in Richmond county,
WISCONSIN. 1t is the remains of an
enormous mastodon, and so nicely are
the bones preserved that the biologists
can not only tell what the big
fellow looked like in life, but also
something of his habits, and even the
manner in which he met his death.
He was monster nearly eleven feet
high, and must have weighed several
tons. He must have had yoracious
appetite to feed such a bulk, for his
food was not nourishing as that upon
which the horses and cattle of today
live. His teeth show that his chief
articles of diet consisted of coarse sp-
routs and twigs of trees. A single
tooth of this fellow was several inches
across and weighed several pounds.
One can readily see that IL of these
teeth were enough to fill a very large
mouth. No doubt Baby Mastodon
made quite fuss when he was cutting
his teeth and we may imagine that it
was dangerous to trifie with the old
gentleman when his wisdom teeth
was coming through. In addition to
these crushing teeth, this mastodon
was equipped with two tusks over six
feet long and so large at the base were
these that man could readily place
his head in one of the holes in which
they were fitted.
This was quarelsome fellow and
because of his ability to fight, was
very likely the leader of his band. On
one occasion he received the worst of

HoudOn was invited In 1884 by Thomas

Washington. On July y, 1888, the
sculptor with three assistants sailed In
the company of Benjamin Franklin
from Southampton, bound for Phila-

two months and Houdon did not ar

Two weeks were occupied In model

The railroad that pays the biggest
dividends on the capital invested is,
according to the Technical World mag
azine. the Grand Island railroad. 1t Is
in northern Alberta. Canada. 200 miles
from any trunk line or feed
1t Is only quarter Of mile long
and built of scrap iron on wooden
rails. Its rolling stock consists of two
battered freight cars. which are push
ed along the road by the men who ship
the freight. no locomotives being used.
The freight that ia handled ON this
road consists principally OF furs. which
are towed up the Athabaska river on
scows hauled by men. are laden on
the cars. pushed down the railroad and
shipped again on other scOws, thereby
CiFcumventing the dangerous Grand
rapids. Returning, the scows carry all
sorts of freight for the Hudson Bay
company's factors and are doated down
the river
The Hudson Bay company charges
81 30 Il ton for all freight on this little
railroad. and the shipper must handle
his own goods and push the cars him

THE WHY or WORRY.
Those Who Live Only In the Present
Have No Fear of the Future.


We worry because we are afraid Of
something. Worry is fear Of the con
sequences of something that has oc-
Cured or something that may happen.
A curious thing about 1t is that it is
never associated with the Immediate
present. 1t is generally In the future.
slough sometimes n the past
Animals and babies who are con
scious Of nothing but the present can
not worry. AS all creatures, except
human beings, live only for the mo
lnent, they do not worry because they
have no recollection of what has hap
pened and can form no conception OF
what may happen
Human beings having the capacity
20 look back or forward, mentally, ara
susceptible to the fear that causos
worry. and. as most persons live more
in the past or future than In the pres
ent. this tendency affects for worry
or not, according to our viewpoint or
life I'm other respects. Worry is mental
fear OF an impending something.
Persons afflicted will be less worried
about their condition than relatives or
friends who sympathlze with them. A
person may worry In anticipation of
a sickness or operation, but when they
have the sickness or the operation Is
performed. the worry disappears. and.
though they may fear. they cannot

THE CHARM

Enhanced By Perfect Physi-

The experience of Motherhood Is a try
Ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
