Wonderful Carving.

DIR. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the eight
zenith century, tells Of seeing a carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even In this age Of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from common cherry, and upon 1t
were carved the heads of 124 popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been, it is announced on the authority
of Professor Oliver that with good
glass the heads Of the popes and kings
could readily be distinguished from
those of the queens and saints by their
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased 1t In Prussia, allowing
the original owner 5000 for his treas
ure. Think Of it-$25, 900 for a cherry
seed

Writino Made Eaav.

Steadily the roads that lead to sue
cess in literature are being made cas-
Ter. A good many people who would
like to write fiction, but have shrunk
from the labor OF finding equivalents
for "said," will welcome a list of sub
stitutes for the necessary little word
published In the Boston Writer. There
are no less than $3.50 fairly satisfactory
variations, from "acceded" to "yowled."
The prisoner at the bar no longer
need say that he Is innocent. He can
babble 1t or bawl 1t or burt 1t or
breathe 1t, to use but one letter Of the
alphabet. The vindictive district at
torney can bark his questions, the law
yer for the defense can boom his OBJ
jections, the spectators may either bris-
tie their indignant protest or blubber
their sympathy. But the merit Of such a
list Is not simply that 1t facilitates the
management of dialogue. A thorough
study of the 1886 substitutes for said
will easily suggest the plot and the
characterization that must precede dia-
logue. The letter c In itself is com
pendulum OF plot and a gallery of por-
traits. Given somebody who cachi-
mates, another who chuckles, another
who coos. another who croons, an
other who challenges. another who con-
fesses and minor characters who cry,
croak, commune and cut in, and 1t is
plain that we have scenario almost
ready made.-New York Post.

1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond a certain depth. This depends
on a most curious fact-namely, that
water is at Its heaviest when it reach
es 40 degrees F.-that Is, degrees
above freezing point. On a frosty
night as each top layer OF water falls
to 40 degrees It sinks to the bottom.
Therefore the whole pond has to drop
to 40 degrees before any Of 1t can
freeze At last 1t is all cooled to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is a very bad conductor of
heat. Therefore 1t shuts off the freez-
ing air from the big body Of compare
lively warm water underneath. The
thicker 1t gets the more perfectly does
1t act as a great coat, and that Is why
even the Arctic ocean never freezes be-

Lost skill Of Aneisnts.

From the earliest periods Of which
we have historical records one Of
mans greatest problems has been to
lift heavy loads rapidly and efficiently.
Some of the greatest monuments Of
antiquity were built under conditions
that involved lifting Of heavy pieces Of
building material to great heights, but
how it was done we do not know to
this day. The manner in which the
great stones We're raised in Egypt has
always been a mystery and probably
always will be. 1t Is certain, however,
that the builders Of these wonderful
monuments were possessed Of Dechan-
ical contrivances that were lost In the
dark ages intervening between their
time and ours or they possessed pa
tience to a more remarkable degree
than Is exhibited in any race Of men
at the present time.-EnglDeering Mag

A writer in the Technical World
Magazine, describing the immense
light on Pixies peak, says:
"The venerable head Of that most IA
nous of mountains, Pixies peak, has
been given an enormous eye. In Den
yer, seventy-five miles away, this eye
can be seen flashing to and fro on
clear nights, and in Colorado Springs,
fifteen miles away, the company on
the front porch is likely to be shown
up in bright light at any moment by
the cog railways searchlight
"The giant light is 14,172 feet above
sea level and is capable of flashing
signals over most Of central Colorado.
1t has been placed on platform twen-
ty-five feet above the summit house.
Current is supplied by the turbines
that convert the power of the peak
streams into electricity. The search
light Is attached to semaphore that
the operator moves ut will, searching
out the dark beauty spots throughout
the region or touching upon sections Of

do not blanket the cities far below"

insufficient postage on letters is a
serious handicap to American business
abroad, reports our acting vice consul
at Genoa, Italy. A letter from the
United States to Italy bearing two
cent stamp entails upon the recipient
q payment Of at least 0 cents as a
penalty. "The poor impression upon
Italian firms created by short paid let
ters," says the report, becomes, final
ly, by repetition, very great Special
care in affixing the proper postage
would bring ample returns by remov-
ing a cause of complaint which has ex-
erted an unfavorable influence in for

rom Berlin, given out last night:
BERLIN, Jan 49, 1917.
On the 1st of February intend to begin sub
marine warfare unrestricted In spite of this it is
intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United
Safes Of America.
If this attempt is not successful we propose an
alliance on the following basis with Mexico:
That shall make war together and together
make peace
We shall give general financial support, and it is
understood Mexico to reconquer the lost territory
in New Mexico Texas and Arizona. The details are
left to you for settlement
You are instructed to inform the President of
Mexico of the above IN the greatest confidence as soon
as it is certain that there will be an outbreak of war
with the United States and suggest that the Pres-
dent of Mexico his initiative, should com
municate with Japan, suggesting adherence at once
to this plan
At the same time offer to mediate between Ger
many and Japan.
Please call to the attention of the President of
Mexico that the employment Of ruthless submarine
warfare now promises to compel England to make
peace in a few months.

tary Alfred Zimmerman of Ger
many, the authenticity of which was
vouched for by the president to the
senate today, never reached Car

was never passed on to Japan.
Attention is called to the fat
that in his instructions Zimmerman
stipulated that Eckhart should
only broach the matter to Presi-
dent Carranza as soon as it IS Ger
tain that there viii be an outbreak
of war with the United States. It
is pointed out that this certainly
had not developed at the time Am
bassador BernstorH left this coun-
try.
Doubt as to the authenticity of Il
Zimmerman letter. voiced in the senate
early today because Of its text having
first become public through the press
was quickly dispelled by Senator Swan
son who made a formal statement an
nouncing that the president had au-
thorized him TO say that the public text
was substantially correct.
That the Japanese government would
not consider any proposition such as
that advocated by Secretary of Foreign
Affairs Zimmerman in his Mexico
japanese plot note" was the convic-
tion expressed by Secretary Lansing to-
day who authorized the following
statement:
The department does not believe that
Japan had any knowledge of this or
that she would consider any proposition

Lans1g also expressed belief thai
the Mexican government would a}sr
ignore ANY such proposition 10 e-t.'
