How Hard @siaber 10 Made.

We're all Of US coming In contact
with hard rubber every day Of our
lives Our fountain pen, our inkwell
tops, the magnetic parts and telephone
receivers are all made of hard rubber.
But how is it made? Where does It
differ from the rubber in an automo-
bile tire, for instance? Well wager a
guess that not one man in thousand
knows.
Vulcanization consists of uniting sui
phur with rubber to give it certain
properties of elasticity. durability and.
still more important, make it to retain
these same properties under all normal
conditions Of heat and cold.
When a larger proportion of sulphur
than Is found in ordinary soft rubber
Is present and vulcanization is contin-
ued for a much longer time we obtain
as a result a substance vastly different
In physical properties-hard rubber.
Before vulcanization it is quite elastic
and we can mold it to suit our needs

What You Eat In Apples,

Do you know what you are eatina
when you eat an apple? You are eat
ing malic acid, the property that makes
buttermilk so healthful. You are eat
ing gallic acid, one Of the most neces-
sary elements in human economy. You
are eating sugar In the most assimila.
BILE form, combined carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen caught and imprisoned
from the sunshine. You are eating al.
bumen in its most available state. You
are eating a gum allied to the ''fra-
grant medicinal gums Of Araby." You
are eating phosphorus in the only form
in which it is available as a source OF
all brain and nerve energy. In addi.
tion to all these, you are drinking the
purest water and eating the most
healthful and desirable fiber for the re.
quired "roughness" in food elements.

UNCLE SANS MARINES.
A Fine Body Of Fighters and Always
Ready For Battle.

United States marines are always to
be found where trouble breaks out II
the scene is in reach of transports or
warships. They are quartered on every
first class ship of the navy, ready to go
ashore as infantry, as heavy or light
artillery or In machine gun squads.
There Is not and never was a better
body Of fighting men ashore or afioat
than the American marines. Their ira
dition of efficiency and fearlessness is
one Of the finest. Usually they go
against the enemy when heavily out
numbered and often are required to
hold their own in the midst of hostile
populations until bluejackets and the
army can be sent to back them up. 1t
Is only natural that the most adventur-
Gus spirits from every quarter of the
world, soldiers of fortune who want to
be always in good fight, should have
been attracted to force which offers
so many opportunities of the kind.
No company, no squad, of United
States marines has ever shown the
white feather. They are Of the cream
Of military nobility. On their caps
they wear little metal globe and the
words ''Semper Fidelis' go wher-
ever the flag Is carried, where trouble
is thickest, and they are the ever faith
full legion which never fails us-Provi-
dence Journal.

Arms of Washinqton.

The arms which Washington used
are heraldically described as follows:
Argent (silver), two bars gules (red), in
chief three mullets STARS Of the sec.
Ond, gules (red). The crest: A raven
with wings addorsed, sable (blacl1), is
suing out Of ducal coronet, or (gold).
Although these arms were used by
Washington. the arms Of the family in
Yorkshire are materially different
bearing lion and being surmounted
by a crest with an eagle, not raven
The Yorkshire arms were the original
arms, according to Albert Welles
whose Pedigree and History of the
Washington Family" gives with edify
ing detail the descent of the Father OF
His Country from Odin, first king OF
Scandinavia. Fifty-five generations
were required to evolve George Wash
ington from Odin.

Ihosa Good Old Prices.

This famous old eating house stood on

AMERICAN INVENTIONS
WAGING WAR IN EUROPE
Without Them the Combatants
Would Stand Naked, Unshod,
Unfed and PoWerIess.
BY AUGUSTUS THOMAS,
Of the ViqiIantes.

If the products of American inven-
tons could be taken from the armies
and navies now confronting each other
in Europe the combatants would stand
naked, unshod, unfed and powerless.
The grain that feeds them was sown,
reaped, thrashed and ground by Amer
lean inventions. The clothing for their
vast armies was put together by Amer
ican sewing machines. The cotton in
it was separated by an American cot
ton gin. Their shoes are made by
American machines.
AS to the weapons, the revolver is
an American invention, the breech-
loading gun is an American invention,
the magazine gun Is an American in
vention. The ironclad, the revolving
turret, the torpedo, are American in
ventions. The submarine is an Ameri-
can invention.
The electric light in camp and trench,
the telephone that reports and takes
orders, the telegraph that calls for sup
plies, the cable, are all American.
The barbed wire that defends the
trenches, the tanks that override them,
the airplane that reconnoiters and
fights above them, are American inven-
tions. And when the wounded are re-
trieved the chloroform that makes ac-
curate surgery possible is an Ameri-
can discovery. And, finally, the ambu-
lances are motorcars from America.
america has given great gifts to Eu-
rope. But she has one more gift, her
greatest, yet to give. Her other gifts
have been material gifts, and they
have been given indiscriminately to
the nations that are fighting for de-
mocracy and those who are fighting
against it.
Americas greatest gift to Europe is
the blood of Americas youth, shed for
democracy.
Unless America gives MEN to Eu.
rope all her other gifts are a mockery.

COAXING THE SALMON.

Try Trout Fishing Tactics When You
Go After This Game Fish.
When you are going to make a try
for salmon remember your trout fish
ing. Keep low in the grass and bushes,
cast delicately over the entire pool, be-
ginning at the tail, where the fish are
most apt to be in ordinary weather,
and, working up to the very head,
where they are often found after a
rise Of water, propel the fly with the
variety of motion known to every trout
fisher. and particularly try it at vari-
GUS depths.
have often found that the only way
to start salmon was to sink the fly
at least two feet and rely upon tiny
spasmodic twitch now and then (as of
drowning insect to do the trick.
This is often effective after a fish has
come up once and refuses to repeat the
experiment
When rise comes it will probably
be slow one. Do not move the fly at
all after the first sign. Strike lightly,
but firmly, on the first impact If the
line is short, and when you have count.
ed two or three after the rise if the
line is long. Advice not to strike, il
applicable at all, pertains only to swift
water when fishing downstream. I'm
der any other conditions failure te
strike is often uicidal.-Outing.

True EIoquence.

True eloQuence, indeed, does not con.
sist in speech. 1t cannot be brought
from far. Labor and learning may toll
for 1t, but they will toll in vain. Words
and phrases may be marshaled in every
way, but they cannot compass it. II
must consist in the man, in the subject
and in the occasion. Affected passion
intense expression, the pomp of decla'
nation, all may inspire to it. They
cannot reach it. 1t comes, if it comes
at all, like the outbreaking Of foun
tain from the earth or the bursting
forth Of volcanic fires with spontane.
