Weiqhinq Machines.

Weighing machines and scales of
some kind were in use 1900 b. c.. for
it is said that Abraham at that time
weighed out 400 shekelS Of silver,
current money, with the mcrclsnt to
Ephron, the I1ittte, as payment for Il
piece of land, including the cave and
all the standing timber lin the field
and in the fence This is said to be
the earliest transfer of land of which
any record survives and in which the
payment was made in the presence of
witnesses. The original form of the
weighing scale was probably bar
suspended from the middle with a
board or shell suspended from each
end, one to contain the weight, the
other to contain the matter to be
weighed. The steelyard was probably
so called from the material of which it
was made and from its former length

The Marquis of CRANKY bears a title
that swings from many tavern sign
board all England over. London alone
has some half Il dozen. Yet this pOpu-
lar soldier, who commanded England'S S
troops in Germany during the Seven
Years war, was the target Of some of
"Junius'" most bitter invective. The
secret of his popularity lay in the fact
that CRANKY was always soldiers
general who not only led them well in
the fight, but also cared for their COM
fort in the camp. The first inn to bear
the marquis head as a sign is said to
have been opened by one of his own
guardsmen at HounslOw Apart from
Wellington and Nelson, the marquis
comes easily first among Euglands

What would you think Of an animal

wouldn't you? Neither does he. You
could call him the dumbest of dumb
animals. In fact, he's 50 very dumb
that most people don't know he's an

talking about is the one that lives in

day on his mouth.
In the beginning he's an egg, which
splits all up in many cells and then
swms around for Il day or two. Then
there comes Il dent in one siue-that 5
his mouth. Soon the sponge stops
swimming and sinks to the bottom

eats until sometimes he gets TO be
three feet tall and as thick as he IS

Hes covered with a iellylike flesh.
When sponge fishermen hunt him to
sell they go out in boats and pull
sponges from the bottom Of the sea
with long handled forks. Then they
put them on the shore to dry. After
days the iellylike flesh drops off and
the fishermen tramp the sponges with
their feet Then they are considered
clean enough to sell. We really get

Its leaves look like a four lcavcd

the mother plant begins to worry about
her seed children. for if the birds and
