Musk Radioactive.

It has been recently determined that
the penetrating quality Of musk Is due
to certain radioactive properties which
it possesses that cause odor Of the per-
fume to be carried through the air IN
an extraordinary way, says the In
dianapolis News. The radioactive
property of musk affects strangely the
natives who carry it to market. If a
package of musk us held close to the
body for any length of time 1t pro-
duces sores that are similar in charac-
ter to those caused by pure radium,

Mechanics IN Medicine.

The value of mechanics in medi-
cine has been amply demonstrated and
the science of healing Is coming to re-
gard with increasing favor the aid Of
fered by mechanical devices. The
physician, in private practice, finds It
incumbent to meet the advance made
by institutions and the result is that
the Office of the modern physician Is
coming more and more to resemble a
machine shop, just as the hospitals
and sanatariums are being gradually
converted into health factories.

LonofeIIow ANA Tennyson.

Longfellow and TennysOn were not
personal friends of long standing, but
they became friends late in life. Long
fellow was born February q, 1907, and
Tennyson August 6, 1909, but they
never met until 1868, when Longfellow
visited England. Writing from there to
a friend in this country he said: "We
came last night from Freshwater,
where we had passed two happy days
with TennysOn-not at his house, but
mostly with him. He was very cordial
and very amiable and gave up his whole
time to U.S."

l range of commercial occurrence in the
United States is in the neighborhood
of 5000, 100000 board feet. In addi-
ton there is a larger quantity in Can
ada. There is growing demand for
the woods, however, for variety of
uses, and it is figured that something
like 175,OO0,OO0 board feet are being
cut in the United States annually.
Many thousands of feet of this cut go
to satisfy the Christmas demands.
But 1t is not only as the burden bear
er Of gifts that the balsam fir contrib
utes to Christmas Observances. 1t also
serves in less easily recognized forms.
Its white, straight-grained wood has
come to be used more and more in the
manufacture of toys that hang from
the branches of its younger fellows
and from the branches Of the other
evergreens that are widely used in
many parts of the country. The wood
Of the balsam fir is used to a large
extent, also, in the manufacture of
excelsior, Of which thousands of tons
are used each holiday season for pack
ing gifts that are sent by express and
mail.
Balsam fir is the source, too, Of the
wood from which are made many Of
the food containers, such as fruit bas-
kets and butter boxes. in which ma
terials for the Christmas dinner are
brought to the market, the tasteless-
ness Of the wood making it unsur-
passed for such uses. Finally, the
balsam FIR Is being increasingly used
for the manufacture Of paper, and.
this, wrapped around thousands Of
holiday packages. adds still another
chapter to the list Of the trees almost
indispensable usefulness as a factor
IN Christmas observances.

THIRSTY AUTO IN SALOON
pashes Through Swinging Doors With

Losing control of the machine he
was driving Edward Frisby, nine
teen years old, of South Colorado
street, hung on to the steering wheel
while the car made a mad dash into
a saloon on the corner of Broad and
Porter streets. Men who were stand
ing at the bar scattered in all direc-
tons as the auto crashed through the
door, but no INT was injured.
Frisby was arrested. He told the
district detectives he lost control of
the car and was unable to check it as
it dashed through the doors of the
saloon. 1t was with difficulty that
the automobile was dragged from its
wedged position in the place. The
front of the saloon was badly dam

WHEEL MAKES LITTLE NOISE
Recent Invention Practically Elimi-
mates Racket That Has Long
Been Complained or.

A silent car wheel has been de-
signed by Edwin G. Madden, former
ly assistant postmaster general,
which is asserted to have a number
of important advantages over the
old-fashioned wheel. 1t is said to
consist of two wheels, one within the
other, and separated from each other
by means of a rubber filling, and the
combination is said to take up all
vibration and shock, so that the noise
is reduced to almost nothing. Some
of these wheels have been In use on a
trolley line at Portland, Me-, for
nearly a year, and the degree of sue
cess which has attended their use
has resulted in declaring the inven-
ton q success, and a factory is now
being reared where their manufac-
ture on a large scale will be engaged
in. Not only is the noise eliminated,
but the riding qualities of the a are
greatly improved and the life of the
rolling stock prolonged. The tires
and cushions are renewed easily and
economically, and the life of the
wheel itself is far longer than that OF
the ordinary cast wheel.

MusKRAT PELTs IN DEMAND
At st. Louis Fur Auction a Million
Were Sold In One Day
Recently.

A million muskrat skins were sold
at the rate of $1,000 worth a minute
at the fourth days sale of furs at
the Funston Fur exchange, says the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
There we're 600 lots, with an av-
erage number of 1000 pelts to a lot,
and at a price averaging 30 cents
each.
Fl. D. Fertel of New York city
bought a group of 100 spring black
pelts, the finest to be offered, at
$1.30 each. This was the highest
price paid for any group. The pelts
will be manufactured into women's
cloaks, Fertel said. This particular
group brought the high price be-
cause of their being solid black and
because they were trapped in the
spring.
Albert NJ. Ahern. vice president of
the Funston company, explained that
the skin of the muskrat, in contrast
to that of other animals, is at its
best in the spring. 1t is a water ami
NAL, he said, and with the coming of
warm weather the winter coat is
shed, and a glossy, soft fur takes its
place. The black skin is the rarest.
The animals that are trapped
bring the best price because the
hide remains unframed. If the ami
NAL is shot, and in such a manner
that his pelt must be patched, it usu-
ally brings a price of 90 cents. In
dams in the northern wilds of Can
ada sometimes spear it in such a
place as not to break the surface of
the marketable skin. The color of
most muskrats is a luxuriant brown.
They are much in demand because
their pelts are the nearest approach
to a sealskin that can be obtained.
The skin, when taken off the animal,
is about 12X14 inches in size.

MORE MARRIAGES IN FRANCE

The French marriage contract,
which is quite apart from the vows,
and has to do with dowries and other
unromantic financial considerations,
is being disregarded in war times as
never before, possibly an indication.
that convention and artificiality are
really being stripped away by suf-
ferinG as so many assert, and con-
sequeiitly the number of marriages
in Paris has risen from 76S in Jan
uary, 1915, to 1889 in December.

HOW GERMANS USE ALUMINIUM.

Austria and Germany use more
aluminium for war purposes than all
the other warning nations combined.
1t has been known, in fact, that Ger
many has for some years been col
lecting and storing the metal for war
uses.
The great majority of the drinking
mugs, can and cups of the German
soldier are made of the light metal.
The frames for Zeppelins and the
fuses for shells are made from
aluminium.
One of the difficulties the Germans
have had to face is the shortage OF
copper necessary for the rings round
shells. Many of the German shells
+ now provided with aluminium
wings.
Although aluminium does make Q
substitute, yer in cartridges as well
as shells and fuses, it is not 30 good
as copper. The French authorities ex-
%perimented with it some years ago
for artillery purposes, but rejected it.
The Germans are using it in such
large quantities because Of the short
age of copper-Pearson's Weekly.

NEW USE FOR "PIGTAILs"
China Exporting Human Hair to This
Country to Compete With That
of the Equine.

AS a commercial competitor of the
hair from a horses tail, the discard
ed pigtails of Cinnamon have
reached the United States courts and
the pigtail reigns.
At any rate, the horse tail is to
enjoy no monopoly at the expense of
the amputated cue when it comes to
the cottonseed-oil industry.
What happened was this: To ex-
tract the oil from cottonseeds the lat
ter are crushed and then placed be-
tween thick mats. A pressure of
several thousand pounds is applied
10 the mats and the oil is forced out.
Formerly these mats were made of
camel's hair. Then Robert E. Werk
introduced hair from horses tails
and names and wrought a decided
improvement, only to see F. T.
Parker make mats from Chinese pig
tails and do the trick of oil pressing
quite as effectively. Result: a suit
by Werk against Parker for infring-
ing a patent.
The legal aspect of this case does
not interest me, but the fact that
China is sending human hair to this
country to compete with equine hair
does interest me greatly.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
