Graphic Description.

Zach had been introduced to a new
circular saw The foreman Of the
sawmills performed the introduction
and after giving Zach a few necessary
extra Instructions he left him to his
work. Zach was really interested in
the buzzing blade. and his curiosity
getting the better of his discretion, he
soon found himself minus a finger
Despite his eXcitability he was some
thing Of stole, so he bound up his
wound without seeking assistance
While he was thus engaged the fore
man reappeared. To him Zach de-
scribed the accident
"But how on earth did you manage
it?" the foreman exclaimed angrily
for the prospects Of damages ahead
were not exactly pleasant.
Zach shook his head.
Sure, an don't know" he said. II

Remarkable Reptiles.

During the time Of deposition Of the
clays constituting the Morrison shale
In southern Colorado there existed q
great variety Of remarkable reptiles of
huge size. Their bones, which are In
places abundant. are the remains of
animals that were mired in the soft
clay Of which Morrison formation
largely consists. Some Of these crea-
lures, such as the brontosaurus, were
sixty feet long. Many Of them had
remarkably small heads. notably the
stegosaurus, which had so diminu-
tive a brain that 1t must have been
very stupid. This animal was un-
doubtedly very clumsy also, but Its
huge size and protective armor aided

colored Snowstorms.

Colored snowstorms were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century, and
a shower Of red hail Is said by Hum
boldt TO have once occurred in Paler-
mo. In Tuscany ON March IA, 1913,
there fell hail Of an orange color. In
1905 red snow fell to depth Of over
five feet in Carniola, Austria. The
storm Of colored snow was followed
by one Of the regulation color, and
the effect produced by the separate
layers of red and white, which We're
perfectly distinct, was very peculiar.
A portion of the scarlet snow was
melted in vessel and the water evap-
grated, when a fine, rose colored
earthly sediment was found at the bot
tom. Snow Of brick red hue fell in
Italy in 1916 and h the Tyrol in 1S47.
In the first volume of Kane's Arctic
Exploration" it is stated that when
the ship passed the Crimson Cliffs of
Sir John Ross" the patches of red
snow, from which they derived their
name, could be seen at a distance Of
fully ten miles.

In some parts Of IndO China the m.
yves employ various fibers In the at.
tempt to supply their own paper. The
village du Papier, a suburb of Hanoi
owes its name to the fact that most of
Its 1000 or 5000 Inhabitants make pa.
per from the bark Of a small paper
tree, species Of mulberry, found on
the Black river In upper Tonkin. This
bark Is soaked In lime made from the
limestone Of the village, heated by
crude furnaces fashioned by hand un-
der natural limestone watts, pounded
by pestle into fine mash, then dis
solved in water until a thin paste Is
reached. This paste is dipped BY bam-
boo screen sieyes until a slight film
covers the screen. This film Is spread
on top Of others, and each Is taken sep
arately or several together and spread
with a brush on cement radiators to
dry. A single sheet Of paper Is almost
as thin as tissue, but the desired thick
ness may be obtained by spreading
several films on the radiator and dry
ing them together or by pasting the
requisite number Of sheets together
after drying.

The diamond is pure carbon or char
coal, but the secret processes by which
nature rearraugcS the atoms of the
black. luSterieSS charcoal into the
flashing diamond is a mystery that
the chemists. stimulated by the GER

were successful in finding the solution,
have never been able to discover. Nor
IS it reyJainly known from what de-
partmeut nature takes the diamond
making material. 1t is supposed to be
furnished by vegetable charcoal which
undersoes a peculiar process of decom-

A Defense of I'VE ALL"

I noticed some time ago q letter In

expressions "you all" and I'VE ALL"

the three forms, his preference being
