Bullets That Come Back.

Speaking about a purchase of large quantity of zinc instead of sheet lead for the manufacture of collins, two men interested in metals joined in the following discussion:
 That is final consumption" said one. That metal never comes back into the market" '"There are others" ," replied his friend. "shot and bullets, for example" "You are only partially correct" replied the first. 'Some of the bullets come back. They are so economical and so we'll organized in Germany that after military target practice the soldiers have to pick up and account for all the lead they have fired. They are no theorists about con- servation over thge. They are practi- tioners." - Engineering and Mining Journal.

TEXAS IS TRYING
 OUT |LL|TERACY

AUSTIN, Tex, April 16.-Texas has fired the first shot at illiteracy in the solid South" by passing a compul- sory school attendance law. Texas, the least illiterate state in the South, is still the thirty-seventh state in the Union in degree of literacy. Follow ing her lead, it is expected that oth- CT commonwealths below the Mason and Dixon line will adopt compulsory education.
 The Texas legislature, just adjourn ed, enacted law to compel the at tendance at school of every child over seven years of age at least six months every year until the age of twelve is reached. But the bill does not go into effect until September, 1915, and for the next three years the maximum of six months attendance is not en- forceable. No child of twelve years or over can be compelled to attend school if he has completed the fourth grade and his assistance is needed in the home.
 While this law may not compare favorably with stricter measures in northern states, it is considered a fair beginning for state so long steeped in child labor and illiteracy. The advocates of the measure in the 1915 legislature were confident the law would be improved in future ses- sions. It was bitterly fought in both branches of this legislature.

How the Meat Supply Is Kept Safe In

How the Meat Supply Is Kept Safe In
 One Alaskan Town.
 "Very patriotic lot of people live here, I see," is the remark made by almost every newcomer to the frontier town of Knik, Alaska, at the head of Cook $ inlet, when they see that almost every house is supplied with fagpole.
 And they are right about the patriot ism, but it just happens that the poles are not for flags. but for meat.
 Knik is on the trail to 1ditarod and the Kuskokwim valley, and in the summer the sled dogs and the flies are so thick that it is impossible to keep meat in ordinary caches near the ground.
 There is no butcher shop in Knik and the only fresh meat Is moose or Alaska sheep brought in by the hunters. It's very handy for the housewives of Knik to have the meat supply of the town up in the air. If hubby has poor luck with his gun and the supply runs out, all she has to do is to go to the door. pick out her neighbor who has the largest supply on hand and go borrow a steak or two.
 The meat is fastened securely to q rope and it is run up to the top of the pole very much the same as flag would be.-Milwaukee Journal.

How to Start a Clock After Winding It
 Too Tightly.
 If in winding clock actuated by a spring you have given the key turn too much and so have wound the spring so tight that the clock won't run you don't have to take the clock to clock maker to have the spring unwound. You can start it yourself if you will go about 1t the right way and exercise little patience.
 Jarring or shaking the clock does no good. What you want to do is to hold it up and turn it right and left quickly, but gently, to oscillate the balance wheel. The object of this, of course, is to set the clock in action and free the spring from the binding restraint upon it, give the spring little play, a chance to exercise it's own power. If your own strong arm were bound tightly to your side you couldn't use it at all, but if you could work your arm free just little bit you could then break loose. It is so with the tightly wound clock spring. Give it just a little of play and it will then be able to exert itself.
 With your first oscillation the balance wheel will stop after half dozen ticks, but that has helped. Keep this up for ten or fifteen minutes and you will then have given the clock spring play enough to enable it to exert it's own Dowar and keen tho clock going New York Sun

Easter Sunday
"What 1 would like to do is to make
the whole world clean and pure, and
wherever I go l make my best effort
to bring this about, but of course | do
no more than anyone else could do
who would sincerely try it,"
The first question asked of the Rev.
Mr.. Sunday was what he hopes to ac-
complish by his revival in Paterson,
but he refrained from committing
himself to any estimates or calcu-
lations on his campaign there.
He was seen in a small compart-

Sunday was more talkative than he
and told of the terrible strain Papa"
had been under during the Philadel-
phia campaign and how she had feared
he would break down.
HOW are you feellng now? he was
asked.
Fine he answered; II am thor
oughly rested up now and am ready
for the campaign in Paterson"
How long do you expect to be
there?"
"At least six weeks and not more
than seven; my program will not allow
any longer stay than that"

Billy Sunday received an anonymous
letter warning him to beware of
