NEW YORK. March N.-While the

two specialties, Bethlehem Steel and
General Motors, each Of which estab-
lished new high records and registered
advances of eight points or more.
The sensational advance of Bethlehem
Steel was due to the announcement by
the company that It had shipped no

THE SMALL cHILD'S DISHES.

The small child in its high chair,
very proud of its newly acquired
ability to feed itself, is often a prob
lem as regards dishes. The awkward
movements of the little creature
often send cups and saucers flying
to the floor. To meet this difficulty,
give them the nice white enameled
ware cups and saucers, which are not
heavy to handle and which will
escape the otherwise inevitable break
age. The silver cup, with which
most children seem to be endowed,
is serviceable when the youngsters
are old enough to appreciate it, pro-
vided it is saved from these early
dents and disfgurements.

CRYSTALS IN SPINAL FLUID
Patholosist Proves Many Things They
Were Not-Sheds No Light
on What They Were.

DR.. W. W. d. Thomson, demon.
strator in pathology at Queens uni
versity, Belfast, sends to the Lancet
an account of some extraordinary
crystals he found in the cerebrospi-
nal fluid of a girl who died of men,
nights. They were colorless, trans
parent and most of them contained
a central nucleus or spot which
seemed to have crystal outlines.
There were also a few twin crystals.
They varied in size from two to 10
micromiilimeters.
Doctor Thomson put them through
many tests which proved many
things that they were not, but shed
no light on what they were. He had
never before seen or heard of such
crystals in the human body and is
still puzzled to account for them.

Man Who DIssipates Energy In That
Way Is Wasting Unlimited
Power. He Says

Apostles Of the habit Of gum chew
ing had better beware of Prof. Her
bert Gardner Lord, professor Of psy-
chology at Columbia university. Pro-
lessor Lord surprised one of his stu
dents recently by calling him out of
turn, and the young man had the al
tentative of swallowing the gum he
was chewing or being marked a
funk. He swallowed and choked,
whereupon Professor Lord seized
the opportunity for lecture on gum
masticators. The gist of the talk
was that man who dissipates his
energy in chewing gum is wasting
unlimited power. With students,
he said, the results are extremely bad
because after chew of ordinary du-
ration the average students jaw is
too tired to wag out an answer.
There will be no more gum chewing
in Professor Lords class this spring

TIN-CAN BOMBS USED IN WAR
Destructive Weapons Are Tossed by
Hand or Hurled by
Catapult.

Maybe they are not ordinary to-
mato cans, but they might be just
the same, judging by the descrip-
tons that have come from the front
of the European war. This refers to
the hand grenades that the British
troops are using. According to Pop
ular Mechanics, the soldiers in the
trenches make them themselves.
The cans are filed with pieces of
iron and a charge of guncotton and
equipped with a fuse. They are fire.
quently tossed by hand into the near
by trench of the enemy; but gener-
ally a rude catapult is used. This
is simply a piece of timber, with an
automobile spring fixed vertically in
the upper side, the top of which is
drawn back and held in a slot in a
wooden trigger. Then the bomb-can
is attached to the spring with a tin
holder, the fuse is lighted, the trig-
ger sprung, and the bomb goes on it:
destructive way behind the breast
works of the enemy.

Positive Proof,

An aged and much-traveled tourist
was relating experiences of his travels
to a group of friends, when a blatant
young man, who had himself made a
short trip through Europe, decided
that 1t was about time to come In for
his share of honors as a great trav-
eler. when l made my trip through
the Red sea-" the young man inter-
jected, I'VE dropped anchor one night
In the exact spot where Pharaoh's
hosts were engulfed by the waters of
the Red sea. In the morning when we
heaved up the anchor we discovered
that one Of Pharaoh's chariots, which
had for years been lying at the bottom
Of the sea, was hooked on to one of
the fiukes of our anchor. II was in an
excellent state of preservation" How
did you know 1t was one Of Pharaoh's
chariots and not one OF more recent
vintage?" inquired the old tourist
"Oh. that was easy" replied the noisy
young man. you see, in one corner
Of the chariot we found an old coin
which bore the inscription, '2OO5 b
c."

FARMERS GREAT AUToIsTs.

1t is estimated that nearly so pei

that, according to the census of

Fat Not a Disease,

The notion that fat is a disease
grew solely out of the fact that after
death from certain chronic and long
standing diseases various important
tissues of the body, such as the heart
muscle, the liver, the brain. and more
rarely the kidney, were found large
ly changed into fat. In our pompous
Latinity, they had undergone fatty
degeneration" In the good old days
of ignorance we had nc better sense
than to say that this state of affairs
was the cause of death, and that the
vicious fat had, so to speak, choked
and taken the place Of the higher and
more valuable active tissues.

pieces that we're 60 cents short were

WHEN NAPOLEON WAS HUNGRY
Emperor Of France Sends Kings to
the Pantry to See Why Lunch
Is Delayed

Prince Metternich, prime minister
to the emperor of Austria, was once
asked under what circumstances had
Napoleon, whom he had often met
given him the most striking impress
sion of prestige and sovereignty. II
was, he said, one morning at Com
piegne, when they returned from a
drive in the forest. They returned
to the castle about noon. The en-
peror, leaning his back against the
chimney, chattod with his guests
while awaiting the summons to
lunch. There were a number of per-
sonages and members of the imperial
family present. Napoleon began to
fec! the pangs of hunger, so he
turned to Mu-at: "King of Naples,
go and see why we do not lunch"
The emperor resumed his argument,
but the delay was still prolonged.
He grew impatient, and, turning to
the other side, he said: "King of
Holland, try to find out whether we
are to lunch todayp Metternich
had never before seen an emperor
send kings to the pantry to hasten
a meal.

Jeannette, Pa, about noon yesterday.
Ties were lashed to the tracks. but
were broken away by the LOCOMOTIVES
The train left the Pennsylvania station
here at 1910 o'clock, the first stop be-
Ing Altoona. AS it entered the tunnel
the engineer was amazed by a shower
of sparks shooting forth from under
meath the locomotive wheels He i'm
mediately stopped the engine and
found two ties lying in front of the
pilot, Pieces of rope had been fast
ened about the ties. The engine was
not damaged, but the train was de-
