Pith of the Sunfiower Stalk.

The sunfiower is cultivated to con
siderable extent in central Russia.
where every part of the plant is put to
certain economic uses The discovery
of the extreme lightness of the pitl1 OF
the stalks essentially increased the
commercial value of the plant. This
light cellular substance is now care
fully removed from the stalk and APP
piled TO a good many important uses
One of it's chief uses is the making OF
life saving appliances. Cork with a
buoyancy of one to five and RENDERS
hair with one to ten has been used
The pith of the sunfDwer has a buoy
ancy of one to thirty five. The latter
can be used advantageOusly in the
construction of boats and life .preserv-
ers. A sufficient quantity can be worn
on person without any Inconvenience
The pith of the larger sunf1ower stalks
is used extensively as substitute Tor

street of the city. Coming to poultry
dealers place, he stopped and gazed
admiring1y at the fowls and game dis

on having that turkey. Picking it up
he entered the shop. The shopman was
very busy "Jest weigh this bird for

Historic Water Clock.

In the days of the Roman empire the
water clock was nothing more than
vase. with a small opening in the bot
tom. through which the water drippeo
at q known rate. This gave the name
clepsydra. or water stealer, to the kind
of clock which preceded both the pen
dulum and the spiral spring. Of all the
clepsydras of history the most remark
able was the one sent to Charlemagne
by Haroun-al- Raschid. 1t had twelve
gates, behind which were as many
brass balls as the number of the hour
indicated. AS the gate opened the
balls struck the hour by falling on
metal base. At II o'clock tiny horse
men issued from all the open gates.

the balls back and closed the gates, all

mechanism that was run by water
pressure. 1t was sample of the state

Storm Often Misnamed.

1t is a curious fact that what is gen.
orally known in some of the eastern
states as a northeastern storm is in
reality. says Popular Mechanics. OF
quite a contrary origin. Because
strong wind which frequently carries
heavy rain is apparently driven from
northeasterly direction it is popular
~ assumed in a specific area that the
storm originates somewhere in a north
eastern zone. while in truth it's real
source is in the west or southwest.
The explanation is that such a disturb
ance is merely an air draft of baro-
metric depression in the opposite oil
rection. The storm is known as a
bareback" and is one of the condi-
lions which cause weather forecast
err difficulty.

Washington is bordered on the east
by the steep and rugged Cascade
mountains: on the south by the
Columbia river, and on the north by
Juan de Fuca strait and Canada. This
corner of the United States is COM
pletely cut off from the rest of the
country by great natural obstacles
and presents an extensive front for
attack by sea. While the maps show
some 20 passes across the Cascade
mountains, communication with the
east is almost entirely by three rail-
roads, all crossing at points less than
SO miles apart and having tunnels or
other vulnerable structures. The
only practicable wagon road is effec-
tually closed to traffic between four
and five months each year by heavy
SHOWS. Communication with the
south is by one line of railroad, cross
ing the Columbia river by bridge at

Vancouver. Communication between
this section and the east and south is
thus largely dependent upon a num-
Der Of structures readily destroyed
by high explosives, and impossible of
restoration to traffic within a definite
time. The two railroads along the
Columbia river at the point where it
breaks through the mountains, could
be easily wrecked so as to require
considerable time to repair, and the
gorge could be held by small force
against large one coming from the
east. If an enemy succeeds in enter
ing Western Washington and in
Selling and destroying the important
bridges and tunnels, he would be so
securely established as to render it
extremely difficult to dislodge him.
In this rich region an invader could
maintain himself indefinitely. The
harbor defenses maintained in this
region are reasonably strong. Ortli-
nary precautiOn demands that mo-
bile force of reasonable strength be
also maintained in this region"
