Japan has pearl-oyster farm. In

harvest is obtained.
In May or June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk in

shells begin to appear on them. The
stones remain in for two months, but,
since the young oysters cannot endure

THESE BOOKS WERE DIGEsTED
History Furnishes Instances Of Au-
thors Being Compelled Literally
to Eat Their Words.

To literally digest a book is an ac-
complishment which few can boast of
having performed. Nevertheless, a
good deal of literature has been de-
stroyed in this way at one time or an
other.
Barnabo Viscond compelled two
papal delegates to eat the bull of ex-
communication which they had brought
him, together with its silken cords and
leaden seal. As the bull was written
on parchment, 1t was all the more diff
hcult to digest. A similar anecdote is
related Of an Austrian general, who
had signed note for 1000 forms, and,
when it fell due, compelled his cred
itors to eat it.
a Scandinavian writer, the author
OF political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat
Ing his manuscript boiled in broth.
Isaac Volmar, who wrote some satires
against Bernard, duke of Saxony, was
not allowed the courtesy Of the kltch-
en-, but was forced to swallow them
uncooked. Still worse was the fate Of
Philip Oldenburger, a jurist OF great
renown, who was condemned not only
to eat pamphlet of his writing, but
also to be flogged during his repast.

never since the beginning of the

A telegram expressing the SINGER

MEN ARE GROWING SHORTER
French savant Years Ago Gave Out In
formation That Adam Was 123
Feet Inches Tall.

In recent years anatomists have
shown in a practical way that the
height of a man or woman can be in
creased to considerable extent by APP
planes for stretching. These extern
sions, however, have only been of
inches or fractions of an inch, and
giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be developed by artificial
means. 1t was French savant, named
Henrion, who, 200 years ago, gave to.
the world authoritative statements as
to the height of Adam and Eve. He
said that the father of the race was
1913 feet 8 inches high and Eve 118
feet 8 inches. He noted that from the
creation of these enlarged editions of
humanity, degeneration had been
rapid; that Noah was only q, Abra-
ham only 20 and Moses but 10 feet in
height.
According to this French authority,
If the Christian dispensation had not
arrested this decrease, man by this
time-2O0 years ago-would have been
a mere microscopic object, and we may
NohN1uuS that ny Ouf tftile lie W0ufd not
have been at all. NJ. Henrion did not
give any explanation as to height Of
those ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on
record is that concerning an immense
skeleton, said to have been in Sicily,
which measured 800 feet In length.
This story, however, carries its own
reputation, as it is said that found be-
side this giant was his walking stick,
which was 80 feet long and thick as a
telegraph pole. A clever calculator
made the estimate that walking stick
only 80 feet in length for man who
measured 300 feet would be as ridicu-
lous as one of seven inches for man
OF ordinary stature.-Kansas City

IMPORTANT MATTER OF LIGHT
Excellent Reasons Why II Should A.
ways Fall From the Left Side Of
Writer or Worker.

The well-known fact that, when
using the eyes for any near work, the
illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right, is often dis
regarded.
Let anyone who considers the matter
Of little Importance once demonstrate
to himself the difference and he will
never forget 1t. Take q pencil and pa
per and try to write while In such q
position that the light will fall from
the right side.
The shadow of the hand or pencil
or both is thrown on the paper In such
a way as partly to cover the characters
one is making. This necessltates a
closer viewpoint and b conscious strain
on the eyes. Now let the position of the
writer be reversed no that the light
falls from the left side.
He will notice that the shadows fall
away from the work he is doing, and
leave the field unobscured. In making
the change he cannot help but notice
the feeling of ease that Immediately is
experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind of
near work in which the fingers act I'M
der the guidance of the eyes. This fact
should be remembered in planning
schoolrooms, workrOOms, offices and
any places where steady, close work is
to be performed.

sonal representative, and who came
here Saturday, issued statement in
which he predicted an early settle

base his belief, he declared, on the
fact that the American government is
considering seriously lifting at an
early date, for the benefit of the Car
rama government, the embargo placed
by President Wilson on the shipment
of arms into Mexico, the recall Of
General Pershing's expedition and the
sending to Mexico of Ambassador
