Fooled Them All.

The discussion about the fitness of
horse meat to eat calls to mind the
story of young man in Paris, good
many years ago, who made a wager
with some friends that at dinner he
would serve one course would be
horse meat and that none of them
could tell which it was. After the din
ner he asked them to name the horse
meat course, and found that they did
not agree. One named one course, one
another, and so on, but they all agreed
that it was a mighty good dinner.
Gentlemen" he said, with his thumbs
stuck in the armholes of his waistcoat.

Steam PRINTING,

On November 20, 1914, a newspaper
for the first time was printed by
steam. Although the application of
steam power to printing machinery
had been successfully experimental
with some years previously, the hos
tility of the working printers rendered
it inadvisable for the masters to intro
duce such startling innovation into
their printing houses. Towards the
end of 1914, however, the growing cir
culation Of the Times made change
of some kind necessary, and in the
face of fierce opposition the second
John Walters set up a steam printing
press. So on the morning of Novem-
Der 20 the leading article of the Times
announced to it's readers that they
held in their hands that day copy of
the first newspaper to be printed by
steam.-London Chronicle.

carat in practice varies slightly in diff

SHIP BUILDING BY ANCIENTs
Trade Was Old in the Days Of Jacob
-PaIatiaI Yachts for Hero, Cleo
patra and Leo.

Some curious records Of early ship
building are found in ancient history.
We read in Genesis that ships were
old on the Mediterranean even in the
days of Jacob.
Eighteen hundred and thirty years
before Christ, Ammon built long and
tall ships with sails on the Red sea-
Ninety years later the ship Argo was
built-'the first Greek vessel which
ventured to pass through the sea with
out sight Of land-being guided only
by the stars"
The wonderful vessel built for Hero,
king Of Syracuse, excited curiosity and
wonder. The craft was constructed
under the direction of the celebrated
mathematician, Archimedes, by a ship
builder at Corinth, from wood cut on
Mt. Etna.
Her decks were paved with small
and odd tiles, on which were depicted
with wonderful art scenes from Ho-
mer's Iliad. On the upper deck was a
gymnasium, containing gardens plant
ed with many kinds of shrubs, with
walks between them overshadowed by
vines and ivy, the roots of which were
nourished in moistened earth.
Near this apartment was a dining
room dedicated to Venus, paved with
agates and other precious stones. The
walls and ceiling were Of cyprus and
the doors of ivory.
Near this was a library, the walls
being of lockwood and the ceiling rep
resenting the sky by night, with the
consultations embossed upon it.
We read also of the gardens of the
barge of Cleopatra, Of the domones Of
the Romans, long ships first used in
sailings matches, in which Leo, the
emperor, used to sail from CONSTANT
nople to the Asiatic coasts-and which
the sultan continued to use to a late
day-of the feluccas and the gondolas
of the Venetians, and a variety of
pleasure craft common to eastern coun-
tries in early times.
Turning over the leaves of early An
glo-Saxon history, we find that about
1000 A. D. Harold sent to Athelstan a
magnificent ship, with "a golden beak
and purple sails," surrounded by
shields internally gilt.
In this ship the wild northern mon
arch doubtless cruised the seas in COM
fort, though the Morse vessels Of the
period were but great unlocked boats.

TREES HEAL THEIR WOUNDS
Provision of Nature That Assures
Preservation of the Forests for the
Benefit of Mankind.

When a bullet or any foreign body
penetrates tree not sufficiently to kill
it, the wound cicatrizes almost in ex-
actly the same way as a wound on the
human body heals. If it did not, de-
structive microbes would enter and
cause decay Of the tissues.
"Trees," writes Henri Coupin in La
Nature, ARE very we'll equipped for
healing their wounds, and, more for
tunate than we, an antiseptic dress
ing is almost automatically applied.
AS soon as the lesion has taken place
the vegetable reacts to the wounded
spot; it's breathing at this point is
quickened and at the same time pro-
tein matters are rushed to the scene.
MANY plants are provided with Sc
creting canals filed with more or less
gummy substances which are instantly
poured out over the wounded surface
and protect it. This is true especially
Of the conifers-pines, frs, etc.-of
which the resin makes swift and i'm
permeable antiseptic dressing"
In trees that have little CT no resin
the wounded part turns brown. This
is due to the appearance of juice that
seems to be a mixture of gums and
tannin. And the cells Of the tree start
into activity, proliferating and filling
up the cavity with new cells. If the
wound be large these take the form of
vegetable cicatrical tissue, which
makes a plug and remains as scar.
In the event that the wound be con-
fined to one of the limbs of the tree it
not infrequently happens that the limb
becomes dead and drops off, the
wound healing and leaving the tree
in no wise the worse for the loss of the
absent member.

H. w. ROPER Of Chicago recent.
ly made an unusually danger
O Gus ascent of Longs peak
the giant of the new Rocky
Mountain national park, and has
given details of the exploit in a letter
to friend.
Longs peak, which is 1926 feet
high, was considered unclimbable for
many years. Its summit is reached by
passing from Boulder field, which lies
10000 feet up, through an opening in
the rocky wall known as Keyhole out
upon the side of sharp-angled slope
covered with perpetual ice and snow,
which slants from near the summit far
down the mountain side to end in a
nearly precipitous drop of a good deal
more than a thousand feet into Gla-
cier gorge.
This is called the Trough and it is
ascended by steps cut in the ice and
snow, which are frequently obliterated
by fresh snowfalls and must be re-
newed continually. So far, none of
the hardy scalers of the summit,
which include, by the way, an in
creasing number Of women, has lost
control on this dangerous slope,
though stories are whispered of occa-
sional slips caught just in time.
Mr.. Roper, while ascending the low
er levels, met four young men, two of
them with frozen feet, who had been
held overnight on the summit by a
snow squall obliterating the steps too
late in the day to enable them to cut
new ones on their descent.
