WHEN A KNOT IS NOT SOUND
American Society for Testing Materials
Defines Various Kinds of De-
fects in Wood.

The American Society for Testing
Materials has been wrestling with the
problem of defining a knot, found in
wood
Briefly, a knot may be defined as
part of wood that differs in texture as
part of growth from normal. What
is known as a sound knot is one which
is just as solid or sound across its
face as the wood surrounding it.
An encased knot is one whose
growth rings are not interviewer with
the growth rings of the wood surround
ing it; but If il is a sound or tight
knot it will be held tightly by the en-
casing wood around it. A water-tight
knot is one which is completely inter
woven with the surrounding wood on
at least one face of the lumber. A
loose knot is one not held firmly In
place by the surrounding wood. An
unsound Knot is one that is not as
hard as the wood surrounding it, or
one that has hole in it.

AMERICANS NOT FISH EATERS
Consumption, Fer Capita, In United
States Is Less Than In Almost
Every Other Country.

The average American eats 20
pounds of fish a year. This includes
oyster, shrimp and mussels. One die
tary authority states, according TO
Leslie's Weekly, that 200 miles inland
from our three coasts the consumption
Of fish food per person, is less than a
half pound annually.
Each inhabltant of the British Isles
has fish on his bin of fare to the eX-
tent of 100 pounds every II months,
while the fish consumption, per capita,
in Germany is 100 pounds; Holland,
1870 pounds; Norway. Sweden and Den
mark, $50 pounds; China DO pounds,
and Japan nearly 800 pounds.
Latin-Americans are the only people
who eat less fish than do the inhab-
itants of the United States.
There is absolutely no sane argu-
ment against the larger and more ex-
tenslve use of fish as n daily diet
throughout the length and breadth of
this land. 1t is ideal as a food It is
highly nutritious and rich in proteins.
II Is most easily digested. 1t contains
in great abundance the chemical in
gradients for making bone, muscle and
tissue. AS IA food nothing detrimental
can possibly be said against It, Fish,
with the exception of a few species,
are clean feeders.

own people, we feel a resentment
touched with loathing. The despicable
side of such treachery lies not so much
in the fact of it's proceeding the fight,
as in the fact that it's consequences per-
sist long after the fight and make rec

1t will be years before the German
stimulation of the J. w. w. has ceased

spirit aroused by Germany in the Unit

been tempered with beyond hope Of
swift recovery. There is word for al

A Japanese Tradition.

Segltern Temple, in the province of
1se, Japan, is the scene at a certain
period in each year Of peculiar rite
dedicated to the worship of Acalana-
tina, the faithful servant of Buddha.
The rite is known as a "goma"-a cor4
ruption of Sanskrit "homa"-or
burning" Buddha taught that the
cause Of suffering is desire, and there
fore the priests of the Shinto, Jap
anese sect Of Buddhism, kindle FIRE
to consume all human desires, at the
same time Offering prayers to Acalan-
atha. In one matter the rite may be
said to defeat its own ends, for 1t at
tracts a crowd of farmers full of de-
sire to obtain embers of ashes from
the fire which is supposed TO have con-
sumed all desires. The tradition is
that the possession of an ember or
ashes from the sacred fire insures q
farmer good crops.

READ AND CONSIDER.

The following, taken from the Ma
sonic Tidings, presents phase of the
present world wide situation that is
well worth our consideration. For
years we. have had it dinned into our
ears from our colleges and universities
that the only place in the world to look
for the highest human culture was in
Germany, and the Genman-Americar
Alliance have fostered the same idea
many times most extensively. But we
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1917-08-09

are now coming,-.to lsee that thisIGer-
man Culture has a shady and most I'M
desirable side TO it. That it, has al
along been mostly German and but
little American in its promotion of pur-
poses and Tenderness.
AS people we have been educated
to have admiration and reverence for
Bismark that man of iron and blood.
He of divine conservation of energy
He of confident courage, of colossal
strength, superb poise. dignity and
autocratic power. Somehow, as peo-
pie, we have believed in his philosophy
of craftsmanship, accepted the German
culture not realizing the full trend,
purpose and effort upon the rest of hu-
manty. But since our awakening we
have been appalled, as a result of the
barbarous hatred, malignant venom, of
a nation for whom hitherto we have had
the greatest respect and admiration
The growing vuture of tyranny still
burns in the hearts of mankind tortur-
ing and inspiring it to deeds of wicked
ness; perversity and cruelty still
continue.
The gloom of this morbid madness
that is destroying the youth of nations
is incomprehensible. Sometimes we
imagine we catch the breath of God 8
wrath scourging his people for their
Indebtedness that fearful, shocking,
pathetic cause of separation that exists
among men in the world today. 1t is a
condition of extremes meeting. In a
word, the insanity of the age gone mad.
Let us hope that the Christ spirit
will some day triumph, permeating and
inducing the thought and life of man
kind that the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man become the
universal inspiring theme of all of God S
children.

There they plotted with Hindus for a
revolt in India. 1t was done openly.
The war in Europe broke out and
America declared herself neutral.
Thereupon Germans visited iindus on

consented to take hand in the revolt.
