RILEY HAD TO WRITE jINeLEs
Former School Teacher Recalls Days
When the Loved Poet Was
Her Pupil.

"JingIes'' and not regular studies 90
cupied the school hours Of James
Whitcomb Riley, the noted Hoosier
poet, according to Mrs. libby" Ul-
rey, seventy-three years old. OF Athens,
Tenn, who is visiting with Mrs. s. A.
Rice Of Covington, KY, the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune states.
I'm the year 1S60-61, when taught
in the subscription school at Green
field, Ind, Riley was one of my pupils.
and, although he was good student,
he never carried on the honors of his
class.
His chief delight was to hide be-
hind some other pupil and compose
'jingies,' as he called them, and when
caught in the act always explained
that he had to write, as the verses
were always going through his mind.
Composition came natural to him
and he would stop in the midst of g
task to jot down some little verse
When he was about eighteen years old
he ran away with travelling medicine
show and later painted signs on fences
but would stop work suddenly to
sprawl out on the grass by the road
side and jingle"
Mrs. Ulrey attended the celebration
in honor of the poet which was recent
ly held in indianapolis and she and he1
former pupil spent several hours to
gether recalling the old schooldays.

SHOTS MAKE DOUBLE REPORT
Curious Phenomenon Arouses Crest
Curiosity Among the Soldiers in
European War.

Berlin-One OF the curious phenom-
ena connected with the sounds Of
flying bullets is the apparently double
report from the shot Of single gun.
This is observed with especial FREE
quency by the Austrians fighting In
the Alps against the Italians. They
were disposed to believe the second
report was the echo Of the first, but
the curious fact remained that the
second report was louder than the
first Moreover, the German soldiers
fighting in Belgium, where the land
lies as level as table, often heard
two reports.
The explanation now put forward
is that the flying bullet compacts the
air in front of 1t, and that this pro.
duces sound waves which, when they
first strike the ear, give the effect OF
an explosion.
As the small-caliber bullet of the
modern rife flies considerably faster
than sound travels, the main report
arrives later, and is naturally louder
than the first.

SNAIL A VALUABLE FOOD
Edible and Nutritious, Is the Verdict
That Has Been Arrived At by
These Who Know.

Cali snails are edible and nutri-
tious," says Canon Horsley in a book
on British land and fresh water mol
luscs, just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail, though insipid, is as nourishing
as calf's-foot jelly.
There is a large white -shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used as
food. In France there are many snail
farms, which yield good profit to
their owners. In. the French and tia
liam quarters of New York snails may
be bought, either alive or cooked, and
at most of the French restaurants
they are served, "escargots farcis' be-
ing the most usual form Of the dish
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their shells, but they do not have
to be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is exclusively the leaves
Of many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked and, as Canon Horsley says
as nourishing as calf's-foot jelly

Determining Current Of Electricity.

OSkSI IHIIIIIS OuIISNN VI IISNH' ISItJs
There is very simple manner,
which is not generally known, of deter
mining the character of the electricity
which one may happen to want to
make use of. 1t is well known that
implements which are made for the
direct current are not available where
the alternating current is used, and In
order to ascertain which kind Of cur
rent is passing through the wires it lie
only necessary to hold a, small horse
shoe magnet up to one Of the lamps.
If 1t is alternating current the filament
will vibrate. but if it is direct current
the filament will lean toward the mag
net.
