PRAYER FLAGS OF TlBETANS
When They Flutter Pleas of The De.
vout Ascend to the
Omnipotent.

Encircling the buildings of Lhasa,
Tibet, is the Sacred road, merely to
walk along which absolves the mortal
from all earthly sins, and many pill
grims PROSTATE themselves for it's en-
tire length, thus securing everlasting
happiness in their future life, John
Claude White writes in the National
Geographic Magazine.
The most interesting portion of the
Sacred road is where 1t runs through
some sharp limestone rocks, carved
deeply with figures of Buddha painted
in many colors.
From the rocks prayer flags are sus-
pended on lines running to an island
In the river. These prayer flags are
| universal in Tibet, and so long as
| they are moving they are recording
prayers for the benefit of those who
put them up.
| All devotees, men and women, walk
always turning a small hand prayer
wheel, filled with minute prayers
printed on thin paper; and large
prayer wheels, filled in some cases
with tons of paper prayers, are set
| revolving by water power. Smaller
ones are turned by the hot air rising
from butter lamps.
Single prayers, printed on thin cloth,
are strung vertically on poles or
| stretched across open spaces to flutter
| in the wind and thus send millions of
| prayers vibrating toward the Omnipo-
tent for the benefit of someone's soul.
They are most picturesque. An old
lama l once questioned on the subject
told me "that if the person turning the
wheel truly believed that by doing so
| he was accommodating merit, it would
| certainly count as meritorlous ac-
ton"

for him. Fans have howled and laugh
ed at Merkle for those two plays, but
always McGraw has stood pat.
Merkle has INDICATED the Judgment
of his former chief. When he perpe-
trated the first of his famous bad plays
he was only youngster and McGraw
knew that censure probably would
wreck whatever chance there was for
Merkle to show any class as a first
baseman.
So, instead of harsh words, Merkle
was given encouragement. At every
slip McGraw was ready to pat the
youngster on the back and urge him
on in his effort to live down the mis-
cue. And Merkle did it.
The work of this first sacker has
been prominent feature of every
one of McGraw's drives pennantward.
Merkle has been heavy consistent
batter and heady, dependable field
er in nearly every emergency. His slips
have been no more than players con-
sidered wonderful have made, but they
have come at time when they stood
out. No one ever has taken the trou-
BILE to proclaim his brilliant feats I'M
der the same pressure, so he has been
called-a "bonehead."
Merkle has slipped in his hitting this
year, but the averages, for the long
number of years he has been major
Lacquer, show he has batted consistent
ly around the 800 mark. Last year
he hit just one point below that mark,
and his fielding average was $50.
Pretty fair for man called a bone
head by the critical public.

WHEN WRITING ADVERTISERS
PLEASE MENTION THIS PAPER
Characters of Birds.

The federal government is investi-
eating birds with view TO discover
ing whether they are harmful or help
full to mankind. OF forty or fifty spe-
Giles, exclusive of hawks and owls,
thus far put through this scientific
third degree, only one has been found
harmful-the English sparrow. This
quarrelsome little creature is an IN
qualified nuisance. All other birds of
the group mentioned are either innoc-
uous or helpful, and many of them are
worth well-nigh their weight in geld
to the farmer and fruit raiser.
OF hawks and owls there are 10
species found in this country, only six
of which are injurious. The rest
either do no harm at ALL or more than
make up for occasional depredatiOns
by their services in keeping down ver-
min.
The moral seems to be that when
in doubt about the character of a bird,
give it the benefit Of that doubt. The
chances are about fourteen to one that
even the suspected hawk or owl is a
friend in disguise, and other feathered
creatures, with the single exception Of
the sparrow, are just and righteous al
| together,

WITH M'GRAW'S AID MERKLE
LIVED DOWN FAMOUS MlScUE
Giants Former First Baseman Be-
came Great Player in Spite of
the Jeers of the Fans.

IN the recent trade which sent Fred
Merkle, veteran first baseman of the
Giants, to the Brooklyn club in ex-
change for Catcher Lew Mccarthy.
nothing stands out more prominently
than the perseverance of John Nc
Graw, manager of the Giants, In max
Ing ball player of Merkle after the
latter had made his famous bonehead
play of September %, 1908. It was on
that fatal day that Merkle failed to
touch second"
Merkle, hooted and Kissed by the
fans, derided by sport writer's and
twitted by rival players, but all the
time patted on the back by John Nc
Graw, has held his head up all these
eight years and has proved to the
world that he is a real ball player in
spite of his lapse of memory which
gave Chicago the National league
championship. McGraw's faith in his
young first baseman is entirely respon-
sible for the fact that Merkle still is
big league ball player.
Not only has McGraw stuck to Mer-
kle in spite of his failure to touch
second, but after the 1912 worlds Sc
ries, when Boston won from the Giants
through Merkle's failure to catch an
easy foul fly, McGraw again stood by
and insisted Merkle was good enough

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
Many Puzzles That Have Baffed the
Cleverest for Centuries Offer
Chances to Brainy People.

For the man to whom the mysterious
which have baffled the cleverest brains
for generations, and in many cases for
long centuries, and still remain as far
from solution as ever.
If he is mathematically inclined he
can win immortal fame by solving the
problem of how to square the circle"
The cleverest brains of all ages and
countries have wrestled in vain to dis
cover exactly the relation between the
circumference and the diameter of IA
circle.
One Dutch professor gave nearly 80
years of his life to the task he worked
out the equation to over 700 places of
decimals, and was then little nearer
the end of his calculations than when
he began.
No less elusive Is the square root of
two. Thousands of years in the ag-
gregate have been spent in endeavor-
ing to make this calculation; it has
been worked out to Ill places of deci-
mails by one enthusiast, but the exact
square root remains, and probably al
ways will remain, unbound.
Ever since the days of the Pharaohs
scientists have been searching for the
secret of changing base metals into
gold; but the philosophers stone" has
always proved will o the wisp in its
tantalizing elusiveness; and although
Edison declares the day of it's discov-
cry Is drawing near, 1t still seems as
remote as ever.
Countless men, too, have been driven
to despair and almost to insanity in
their efforts to discover perpetual mo-
ton; and the man who finds its secret
will certainly win fame greater than
that of Newton himself.
No scientist has yet satisfactorily
explained what is the relation be-
tween sun spots and the mariners
compass-why the prevalence of spots
on the sun makes the compass erratic
and unreliable; and none can prove
whether Mars is inhabited or not; or
tell exactly what comet is, or what
effect, If any, the moon has on the
weather. These are all problems, the
solution of which would make your
name famous throughout the world.
If you would try something possibly
simpler, the world would much like to
know the secret of the rocking-stones
those huge masses of rock, some
nearly 100 tons in weight-which are
so delicately poised that the pressure
of finger will set them moving. How
and when did they get there, and with
what object?

pose of the monoliths ut Stonehenge,

Eskimo Lamps.

1t is believed that the Eskimo lamp
was invented before its possessors
emigrated from their original home,
which was probably farther south and
near the seacoast. But the form of
the lamp becomes more specialized the
higher the latitude is. The lamps of
southern Alaska have wick edge of
two inches, while those of Point Bar
row and northern Greenland have wick
edges Of II to 36 inches. The lamp is
employed for melting snow and ice to
obtain drinking water, for cooking
lighting, warming, drying skins, and
in the arts. 1t is also social factor
and the sign of the family unit, each
head of family having his lamp.

Temptations Of the Tongue.

A preacher at East Mortified spoke
on the Temptations of the Tongue. 1t
is good topic and should be frequent
ly utilized. A thoughtless or reckless
tongue can do more harm than n whole
church can do good. The preachers
sermon was based upon the third chap
ter of James. Read II. You need 1t.
We all need Ii. No man can be a
Christian unless he puts its meaning
into his life. Every pulpit should read
the chapter often. 1t is one of the
finest in the Bible. There is no bet
ter literature anywhere. 1t could be
studied ms an example Of style. The
world needs that kind of gospel. This
country needs it. The city needs it.
There is too much thoughtless talk GO
ing on. Too many people think what
they think is absolutely true. and so
they deride others who do not think
as they do. This is unjust and wicked,

and clean civics to look at it that
