Founded on 4 Religion.

Twelve hundred and eighty-hve
years ago the founder of the Moham-
medan religion died in Medina, Arabia,
and the career of Mohammed is now
recognized as one of the nine or ten
great careers in history. A son OF the
desert. born with a keen poetic and
sensuous nature. his early life was
passed in dreams, visions and medita-
tions. Gradually there dawned upon
him the conception of the unity of God.
In his fortieth year his work Of pros
elyting began. Prosecuted by the older
religions, he barely escaped with his
life, and fed from Mecca TO the city OF
Medina. Rapidly the new faith gained
adherentS: the forces of Mecca were
defeated. and by the time of his death
the whole of Arabia had been subdued
and an army was setting forth to as
sail the Roman empire of the East.
Exactly 100 years after he died his
standardsshad been planted by his dis
ciples across the Pyrenees and on the
plains of India.

in q dry place, saving the little circu-
lar tin centers for use again When
il is wished to use the can again In

II one is at all handy with the solder
ing iron the can is resoldered with no
trouble at all. Never put tomato or
acid fruits in any but tomato or berry
cans. as such have been specially
treated to withstand the action Of the
acids. Corn, peas, beans, etc. can be
put in used tin cans in which such
vegetables came, il they were opened
properly. Try your hand first at open
ing and resoldering sny old tin can

War Reduces Insanity.

War as a palliative Of insanity is
theory unfamiliar 10 most people, but
we have no reason TO doubt the conclu-
sions of Doctor Oswald of the Glasgow
Lunstic asylum on the matter, says the
London Globe. One phase OF the sub
ject Is instructive and significant This
is ''the removal Of the powerful effect
of poverty on the mind and its replace
ment by the higher standards Of living
and remunerative employment" Pow
erty and unemployment are thus by
medical testimony more fertile causes
Of insanity than war. That is lesson
10 be borne In mind when the var is
over.

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jurys Verdict Had Nothing to Do
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

a barrister with q long experience
of queer juries in the mining regions
Of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &C.
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
a murderOus assault upon another as
a result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
at night, there appeared to be some
difficulty in identifying the asSailant,
and, as a matter Of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner. calling witnesses
10 testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in verdict
of acquittal. yet. TO the general aston
ishment. the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
But" he added observing the gen
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment. mot guilty Of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we

Training Gunners for Sea.

When England trains her gunnerr
for the sea, she sends them TO Whale
island in Portsmouth hsrbor. Here
the entire island is given over TO steel
sheds, which are built like gun turrets
on a battleship. The great guns pro-
jecting from these sheds are dummies,
as Popular Science shows, though they
are exact counterparts Of those on
battleship. The prospective officers
and men are made 10 go through the
exercise of range finding. loading, aim
ing and firing" these guns as rigidly
as if they were in a real battle at sea.
The heavy steel projectiles are hauled
from the magazine by hydraulic and
electric cranes just as in an actual
ship. A real breech mechanism locks
the proiectile and its powder charge in
the gun, while an intricate swivel
mounting of steel swings the gun into
firing position.

Wonderful Cave Found.

4 wonderful cave has been discoy-
cred at the lime Quarries about 10
miles from Potgietersrust, Cape Colony.
A workman, using his pick, came TO
large hole. and this proved to lead TO
q wonderful cave containing the most
beautiful stalactiteS-a really wonder
full sight. These pendant cones of
carbonate of lime. attached like icicles
TO the roof of the cave and formed by
the dripping of the water charged with
the carbonate from the rock above,
are in various and in some cases most
intricate designs, and should be OF
great interest TO biologists. The cave
Is about 90 yards long and so wide, and
no one ever dreamed of its existence.

is CURIOUS TRADE MONOPOLY
Making Of Missionary Boxes H. England
Has Been in Hands of Same Fam
lily for Many Generations.

Ii is curious how certain trades and
occupations remain peculiar TO certain
families. There is one occupation
employing a large number Of men to-
day which is in the hands Of the same
family that has been associated with
it for many generations. 1t is the max
ing of missionary boxes, says London
Tit-Bits.
II might be supposed that any car
penter could knock together suitable
receptacle for contributions 10 mis-
siOnary and other charitable funds !;
but the fact remains that every mis-
sionary society, every church organ
ization, that requires a cOllecting-boI
goes. as matter of course, TO this old
established firm whose speciality il is
to make such boxes.
II is a thriving business, and one
which has profted rather than suffered
through the war, for the institution OF
flag days and other means Of collect
ing funds has led to an enormous in
crease in the demand for boxes.

HAS HIS GARDEN IN BARREL
Los Angeles Man, With Small Back
yard, conceives Idea for Unique
Strawberry Patch.

A Los Angeles man whose backyard
was too small for growing strawber-
ries. conceived a clever idea which is
described in Popular Mechanics.
He made a strawberry patch out OF
a barrel. Holes about u inches apart
we're bored In rows in its sides. Sew
eral tin cans with perforated bottoms
were piled one on the other In the cen
ter of the barrel and enough dirt was
thrown about them to ill the recepta-
Gle up to the first row of holes.
After the dirt had settled sufficient
" strawberry vines were planted in
the holes and allowed TO hang outside.
This process was repeated until the
barrel was full and vines had been set
in all the holes and on the top.
As the soil was added. cans were
piled up through the center TO provide
an irrigation pasSageway. A hole was
bored in the side near the bottom b

: Speed of Waterfowl Measured.

The speed of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on duck
pass IL measured distance apart. The
first man carries a stop-watch and Il
gun, and the second gun only. As
the fowls pass the first blind the timer
shoots in order to brighten the birds
into full speed. and starts his watch.
AS the ducks pass the second blind the
man there fires a shot, and the timer
stops mis- watch. The usual length of
the course is quarter Of mile, al
though mile track" is sometimes
used.

DANGER Of Sleeves and Ties

Although time and again workmen
have been warned regarding the dan
ger Of loose clothing when working
around machinery, IL appears thst
many OF them persist In ignoring the
danger. As result aS6 workmen were
killed in the United States by being
drawn into the wheels Of machinery or
thrown to death when parts Of their
clothing became caught In rotating
members. Loose sleeves and necSttes
are prolific sources Of danger, and
should not be tolerated for single
moment by the careful worser.-Sci-

patients of a lunatic asylum, and
made up very successful little mono

SOME MARKS OF BRIGHTNESS
Intelligent Boy and Girl Declared to.
Be Conscientious, Moderately Ro-
bust, Athletic and Popular.

In summing up his conclusions on
the relationship of intelligence 10 the
size and shape Of the head, Karl Pear
son is quoted In the Journal Of Heredi-
ty as making these statements about
the intelligence of children:
ITO sum up, then: While no charac-
tiers in schoolchildren 50 far dealt with
show very high correlation with intel
ligence, We may yet say that the in
telligent boy is markedly conscientious,
is moderately robust, athletic and pop
ular; he tends rather TO quick than to
sullen temper. He is more self-con-
sciOus and quieter than the duh boy
he has slightly bigger head, and pos
sibly lighter fermentation than those
of more mediocre intelligence. His
hair has a larger percentage Of curli-
ness.
''The intelligent girl is also markedly
conscientious. moderately robust, attn
letic, and popular. She, too, tends TO
quick and rather sulIen temper. She
is less self-cOnsciOUs than the dull girl,
and noisier than the girl Of mediocre
1t is the slow girl who is
quiet and shy. The intelligent girl has
a slightly bigger head than the dull
girl, and her hair is more likely TO be
wayy ana much less likely TO be curly.

India Bearish on Silver.

A London bullion house says the re-
cent fall in silver prices at Bombay
throws a light upon the beariSh atti-
tude of the Indian bazaars which has
obtained for some time past, and also
upon the way in which the Indian peo-
pie have been content with greatly re-
duced imports for industrial conSump-
tion. 1t is more than probable that
many individuals whose silver jewel

Equal to Animals in Handling Of
Light Batteries In Action.

According TO a statement by the
war department, the forecast frequent
~ yentured, that horses are TO be dis
placed by tractors In our light field ar
tillery is not yet justified. Expert
ments now being made with motor
lied batteries are apparently proving
successful only with heavier types.
The motorized light battery would
be ideal, Of course, says the Providence
Journal. Good horses are scarce, their
upkeep is costly, they can be worked
only a limited number Of hours on a
stretch. their care requires the sery-
ices Of soldiers who could be yaluably
employed otherwise. and the animal
casualties in war appeal TO human
sympathy as well as occasioning
heavy burden Of expense.
For the horse or the mule in the
transport service the motor is readily
substituted. But II appears that no
machine has yet proved itself equal

Urges Eating of More Fish.

In bulletin dealing with the whole

in New York issued by the health de-

substitute fish for meat, it being noted
that there is an abundance Of fish on
the wholesale market and that it is
far cheaper than meat. The bull, in

why households should be fed on eN-
pensive meats when fish is cheap and

PORPOISE FISHERY is OLD
One Of Least-Known Industries in
America Operated for 200 Years
From Cape Hatteras.

One Of the oldest and least-known
Industries In America is the pOrpoIse
fishery, which has been operated from
Cape Hattcgas, in North Carolina, for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau Of fisheries is
urging more general use of porpOlse
hides in place Of cowhide. 1t is an
excellent leather and could undOubt-
edly be used more widely, says the
Baltimore American.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct Of the fishery, has been the oil
which is extracted from the jaws Of
the pOrpOIse and IS worth about so
gallon. 1t is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very
delicate mechanisms. The body blub-
Der is also valuable. Attempts 10
manufacture fertilizer out Of the car
cases have failed because Of the dis
lance from a fuel supply.
The pOrpOises are taken at Hat
teras in seines operated from the
shore, and it is probably the only
place in America where this has ever
been successfully done. During the
fall, winter and spring many por-
poises are seen of the South Atlantic
coast and at Hatteras they come with
in a few hundred yards Of the surf
They are taken by spreading seines
about 200 yards outside the surf line.
As soon as the porpOises have come
inside the seine it is dragged ashore.
Often a whole school Of these sea crea-
trIres Is taken in q single haul

Health and Happiness.

He made no effort to preach ser
mon on tobacco or booze, though he
uses nei ther of them. He is farmer,
and always when we see him in town
we have wondered at his CHEEKY dispo-
sition and enviable robust health. APP.
parently he has never had worry in
his life. He always carries smile, and
the impression he has left with us Is
one of absolute contentment-a man
at peace and ease with himself and the
world. This week we learned why.
He told us unhesitatingly that be was
not burdened with wealth. "In fact, }"
he said, 81 have to work every day,
but enjoy working. Eat? You bet
l eat-three times day and all they
put before me each time. My work
creates an appetite and it is not dulled
by either tobacco or booze. If men
knew half the enjoyment these things
rob them of at their meals, they would
never touch them again."
No one can successfully argue with
this man, for he Is, himself, every evil
dence that he is getting the most life
