"No coneratu;atlons.n

The event hap pened in Germany. where All Fools day was still significant" But Bis, narck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however, he remained fool nearly his whole life long-his idolatry of beer.

Maonesla Ia Sea Shells.

Chemical analysis of starfishes, sec drchtns and erinoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present Is found to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magresia is highest in those specimens that lived In tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas af Greenland and the Antarctic, with a regular grada, ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon fife at the sea bottom. The in vestigstions suggest that the skeie- tons of these animals have the compo sition of the manganese limestone, or doionite, and 1t Is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which Nmestones are now formed, but also IS to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where. during different periods of geologic history. great deposits of magnetism Limestone were formed

What Scandal ls.


 Of scandal, the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really know. Ing what's what. It extends our ex- perience, and gives us a vicarious i'm. portance. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mime Du Barry's boudoir; If we can. not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps a genuine primi. tive art in whica there Is interest through pity and fear and pride and Joy. One woman leaves her husband; hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make @ cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emn- tons of great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip is ex. perience without responsibility. It is means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip, in short, IS tho pleasure of the spectator at tAa business C. life."

sea Moss.

This term is popularly applied to any of the Polyzoa. which are com pound marine animals. several of which share a common horny skele
 ton, or polyzoary. which is plant-like in form. According to the bureau of fisheries. several hundred thousand pounds of these skeletons have been imported annually from Europe. chief y from France and Germany, for dec. orative and millinery purposes. and the supply has now been practically cut oil by the war. It therefore seems opportune to develop a domestic in, dustry. as sea mosses. probably eQwai in quality to those heretofore import. ed. are said to be abundant on osr coasts, especially in New England.

When Peg Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt thae among the early Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock az the Germans-there wes great deal of hard drinking end a good deal of drunkenness although after the incursions of ths Normans the habits of the country ih this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the reg. ulations which were adopteS for tho purpose of compelling thirsty souls tc practice moderation. At the instance. tt is said, of St. Dunstan, archbishop of Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur' pose of regulating the quantity msr might drink. ordained that 2ess o' pins should be inserted in the largs drinking vassels then in use The first person who drank em-tied the tank ard to the first peg from the top, tho second to the second peg. end so on Anyone who went beyond one pin waa liable to penalty.

Gary, lnu., Is an instance of an AMerlIan Glty ..h2. grew 50 fast that .ils finer tnlngs ol loWn bulldlnS wele overlooked. When tae> city was quite young-a few years ago-the city council wanted trees planted on lhe streets, but seemed to have had tco many other things 10 attend to and delt gated the tree planting powe: 10 the park board.
 HOW an attempt was made to plant trees and how practically none were evsr planted is interesting. The park beard attempted to get property owners to act through moral suasion. It was pointed out how beneficial tres are to city and to property owners, etc. This preaching, how ever, brought no results. Capitalists built houses for the profit of renting end selling them, but as for trees there were no immediate profits Ill them. Consequently most of the clty's streets are bare, or insults to the landscape"
 "What is everybody's business IS nobcdy's business" This is equally ;.ue in tree planting as in other de- s.rable things in community building
 It requires organized effort, and a little power "behind the throne" to achieve things. The Gary park board has found this out, and now there is prospect that trees wil' he nlanted according to the state law and part of the cost of so doing charged up to the property owners This will improve the property, put the usual howl will result.
 There are some things about build ing a town that is pretty mucns hK7 tinker;ng bad teeth-it's good thine to do. hut there is lot of hesitation ana freausntly some bowling about " before the finish.
 Beautiful trees add to the attrac- tiyeness of Pine Bluff, and most o' cur people appreciate this to the eA- tent of having the trees well caieu for But taere are other Improve n,ants needed here. These receive scant attention. Sanitary conditions in some parts of the city are aam'- tealv had, yet no organized, determin- ed effort is made to improve them.
 1t should not be necessary for ths state or the, city to enact laws pro- tlding that people be clean ana Ne.l their premises clean; people shoulo keep clean for the sake of cleanliness as well as for the blessings to pc en' joyed.
