HOW GAS JET ORIGINATED
Emergency Use Of Woman's Thimble
Gives an Inventor the
Idea.

A woman's thImble IS said to have
been the means of suggesting the first
gas burner.
William MurdOck, the inventor, first
burned the gas simply as flame from
the end of a pipe. One day in an emer-
gency he wished to stop the illumina-
ton. Hurriedly looking around for
something, Murdock seized his wife's
thimble and thrust 1t over the light,
which was Immediately extinguished.
There was a strong odor OF gas, how
ever, says the Popular Science Month
ly, and the experimenter applied a
light to the thimble, discovering that
it was full of holes, through which tiny
jets Of flame appeared. The impor-
tance Of the result was that the illumi-
nation from those two or three tiny
jets was much brighter than had been
given by the great flare from the end
of the pipe. Acting on the principle
which this chance discovery revealed,
he constructed what was known as the
Cockspur burner.

obtained, the old, monotonous, fiat col

The original bungalow idea seemed
TO imply the use Of some form of dis

Meanlno Of Uniformed" !"

Merchant ships are never, strictly
speaking, interned, which is a techni-
cal word Of special meaning, and is
only applicable to the status Of a war
vessel of belligerent which enters a
neutral port and does not depart there
from within the time fixed for it's de-
parture by the neutral government.
The press, during this war, has used
the word, however, to describe the
taking Of refuge" by German mer.
chant ships in American ports, which
has produced some confusion in the
popular mind. One great distinction
is that an "interned" warship cannot
depart from the port where "interned"
until the end of the war, whereas a
merchant ship which has taken ref
uge" in any port can leave that port
at any time on taking out the custom

LoBELIA USED AS A DRUG
American Indians Gathered Plant for
Their Chests-Called "lndian
Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome in
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both of the apoth-
ecary and the gardner, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apOthecary.
Hence we know 1t more as a flower
than as a drug. 1t Is the lOOelia,
named for Matthias Lobel, a Flemish
physician and botanist, says the Phil
adelphia North American.
The medicinal substance in the plant
Is called lObelin, an alkaloid, although
the Indians probably didn't know it..
The common use of the plant among
the aborigines led the early settlers to-
call it Indian tobacco"
When 1t is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late in fall or early
in spring. They germinate early in
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the.
plants are cut and dried in the shade.
An acre of good soil will yield LOCO
to 1,20O pounds Of herbs.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp p-Root
is due to the fact that it fuflls almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, correctS urinary troubleS
and neutrSlizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get bottle of Swamp
Root from any druggist now. Start treat

The duck hawk flies as swift and as
straight rs the proverbial arrow. No
poultry raiser has any grudge against
this falcon, for 1t disdains tame and
humble quarry and lives like an epi-
cure almost wholly upon game. The
duck hawk will strike down In mid
air a bird of twice its weight, and it
will overtake the swlftest winged duck
that flies. He is pirate and every
thing else that is bad, but he lives the
free and untrammeled life which ma
ture taught him to live and so If It is
necessary to kill something, go and kill
nature.
There probably are no injurious
hawks in the United States except
those which have been named. or
course this qualified statement may be
disputed, but for the most part our
hawks are known to be largely bene-
fetal and concerning those about which
there is some doubt the balance of
good and evil seems to be just about
even. The hawks that have been
named and in part described are, as
one might say, the worst Of the bunch.

This opinion was expressed by Felix
NJ. Warburg of the banking house OF
Kuhn, Loeb and company, brother Of
Paul NJ. Warburg of the federal re-
serve board. He was referring es-
pecially to the health insurance bill
brought out by the American associa-
ton for labor legislation this year. Mr..
Warburg explains his interest in health
insurance by his frst-hand acquaint-
ance with it's working in Germany.
II lived in Germany at the time
the law for health insurance was
passed and put into operation and the
effect from what have been told has
been excellent" he said. 1T is only
by means of system of universal
health insurance that the service Of
advanced medical science can be
brought to the care of the workers
as whole, while at the same time
the payment of joint contributions
brings economic pressure to bear on
the state, the employers and the work
er himself to prevent disease. In 9TH

Nparrows on one Of the crowded cor

my disappointment, for l don't like

Ing admiration for the bold bird which
dares to make a try for its breakfast
no matter what perils impend.
The Cooper hawk, called by the sci
entists Accipiter cOoperii, is just as
much of villain, if you want to look
at him that way, as is his brother Ac-
cipiter, surnamed velox. This bird is
just as daring as the sharp-shlnned,
and being somewhat larger is able to
attack successfully larger prey. DR..
A. X. Fisher, the foremost American
authority on the birds of prey, has this
to say about the freebooter under dis
cuSsion:
"Cooper's hawk, which resembles
the sharp-shinned hawk closely in
everything except size, is less north
ern in its distribution. The
food of this hawk, like that Of its
smaller congener, consists almost en-
tirely of wild birds and poultry though
from It's superior size and strength it
is able to cope successfully with much
larger birds, and hence is much more
to be dreaded. The flight of
this species is very rapid, irregular,
and usually is carried at no great height
from the ground in all these particu-
lars closely resembling that of the
sharp-shinned hawk"
One Of the most destructive of the
American birds of prey is the gos-
hawk, otherwise Accipiter atricapil-
lus. The goshawk is a big bird, some
thing more than foot and a half in
length, and seemingly it has the
strength Of-well we won't say ten,
but two. Its nesting place is either in
the mountains or way up in the north
ern regions. 1t preys on game birds
and rabbits in the summer season and
in the winter it comes southwark from
its summer home to take its pick of
the fat poultry Of the land. The
goshawk is a daring and a hardy bird.
1t typifes the wild life of mountain
and plain, and as such it seemingly
might be allowed to keep it's place in
natures plan, but sentiment usually is
allowed to count for little when the |
loss of a prize rooster or hen is In the |
other side Of the balance.
Now we get away from the accipiters
and get into the Genus Falco. The |
duck hawk, Falsco peregrinus anatum,
is a true falcon. Florence Merriam |
Bailey, in her Handbook Of Birds of |
the Western United States" says that |
the duck hawk ranks next to the gos-
hawk as a fierce bird Of prey. Accord |
ing to my way Of looking at it, bad as
the bird is, any man who shoots it |
ought to be shot himself. The duck |
hawk has that high courage which
ought to appeal to everybody who has
red blood in him on his own account.

How Mines Are Laid and Fired.

On one deck of vessel are several
narrow tracks supporting the mines,
each of which is mounted on wheels.
Each mine is in turn rolled to the stern
and by means OF special launching
tracks is dropped into the sea without
fitting. One mine of this character is
made up Of three parts-a spheri-
cal floating chamber containing the
explosives, etc; an anchor chamber
which is connected with the former
by a cable and a weighted sounding
line. The length of the latter is equal
to the depth at which the mine is to
float. When the end Of the sounding
line strikes bottom the lessening of its
pull throws a pawl which prevents the
drum in the anchor chamber from pay
ing out more cable to the sphere. Con-
sequently the latter is drSwn under
water to a depth equal to the length
Of the sounding line, as the anchor
chamber settles to the bottom.-POpu-
