the dispute involved grade only and
the cotton was found to be less than
seven eighths OF an incn in length Of
staple. the secretary had no authority
TO include in his findings a statement
as to the length of staple.
A new section. known as section
GA, is inserted, which provides an op-
tional contract under which parties

agree that. under certain specified
conditions, the buyer may demand
delivery of the basis grade named in
the contract.

AViators Make Poor Showing When

AViators Make Poor Showing When
Compared With Birds.
Although of recent years aviation
has made such tremendous strides, the
feats of present day aviators cannot be
compared with those of natures flyers
the birds. In speed, endurance, lift
ing and sighting power birds beat avia-
tors every time
A common swallow, for instance, can
travel in the air at the rate of 100
miles an hour. The vulture when
swooping on its prey cuts through the
atmosphere at nearly $50 miles an
hour.
The fastest an aeroplane has ever
Travelled is 1OS miles an hour, and this
speed was only obtained by building a
freak machine, dangerous to handle.
Then, again, Birds can fly for TWEEN
ty-four hours at a stretch without de-
scending, even in boisterous weather.
After eight or nine hours continual
flying an aviator is wearied both mem
tally al6l bodily, and If he has had
strong winds to fight he is often in a
state of collapse.
At height of 10000 feet the earth
in detail is most difficult for an aviator
to see, and it is only with strong
glasses that he can discern even large
buildings and rivers But, although at
high attitudes, hawks and kites can
spy tiny lizards and field mice on the
earth, for their sighting powers are
twenty times stronger than those Of
aviatOrs.-London Globe.

The greatest damage is done by

DueIine.


1t is generally agreed that dueling
took its rise from the judicial combats
of the Celtic nations. The first formal
duel in England was that between VIII
liam Count of Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1906. Dueling
was at its height in France about
1900, though it was pretty popular as
late as 1923, in which year Francis
1. sent challenge to Charles V. In
England dueling was checked In the
army in 1892 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming of a
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular In this coun-
try as it was in Europe, but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received its death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until it
practically died out.-New York Amer

MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees ane
Roaring Sands In Hawaii

Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees ane
Roaring Sands In Hawaii.
In certain parts Of the world are
mountains and hills which are said by
: the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re.
sembling the strains Of a harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are called
the "snorers." When the wind is in
the southwest they seHd forth a pc
culiar sound not altogether musical
The faces of these cliffs are marked by
deep gullies, open in front, which may
be compared to the pipes Of an organ.
At certain times a stratum of air, held
between the cliffs and bordering trees,
closes the openings while the wind
blows freely between through the gull
lies, or organ pipes, behind; hence the
music that is heard.
At the confluence of the Orinoco and
the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which
sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon as the musical stones
of the Orinoco. The music is caused by
the rush of the expanding air through
assures partly closed by mica.
Many more examples may be cited to
show that nature makes use of prin-
ciples which have been adopted by
man in the creation of musical sounds.
Nor are the musical sounds of nature
confined to rocks, mountains and hills,
for in Hawaii is sand bank fifty feet
high which, when the hand is moved
about in the loose sand, produces a
sound like that of a melodeon. 1t is
said that If the observer slides down
the bank on his back, dragging both
hands in the sand, the sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder.

SPRAINED ANKLES.
They Are, as a Rule, Accompanied BY
Broken Ronaa

They Are, as a Rule, Accompanied BY
Broken Bones.
The first step in the treatment of a
sprained ankle should be a carefully
taken X ray photograph, according to
DR.. S. Bernard Rosenzweig in the New
York Medical Journal, for the reason
that simple sprains without fractures
of the bones are rare And the treat
ment of break is different from that
Of a sprain.
The simple spfain is treated with
movement and massage. The ankle is
soaked for fifteen or twenty minutes in
water as hot as can be borne. This is
followed by massage and passive move
ments, then alternate hot and cold
douches. and loose dressing of lead
and opium wash is applied This +
carried out twice day, and after three
days the patient is made to move his
own ankle. This is now strapped for
support, and the patient is advised to
walk about, wearing high laced shoe
and carrying stick
If a bone be broken the ankle is i'm
modified with heavy adhesive dress
ing OF light plaster cast. At the end
of week massage, baking and move
ment are given, and not until after this
Is the patient allowed to try to walk.

The WorId,s Worst penman.

Most remarkable among execrable
writer's was John Bell the barrister of
whom Lord Eldon said to the prince
regent that he was the ablest equity
lawyer of his time, though he could
neither read, write, walk nor talk.
Bell was cripple, and his Westmore-
land accent combined with his STAN.
mer to make his speech unintelligible.
The character Of his writings appears
from his own statement that he had
three styles, one of which he could
read, but his clerk could not, while the
second was Ineligible to his clerk, but
not to himself, and the third baffied
both of them.
