MAN is WORTH 1000 EGGS
Same ingredients Are to Be Found In
6oth-VaIued at $2.45 for H.
Eliminating Purposes
What Is a many How much IS he

What is a man? How much is he
worth from scientific viewpoint?
According to one way of looking at
II a man Is worth about $3.50 u day
from his shoulders down and any
where from $4,000 to $1,0OO,OOO a
year from his shoulders up. This is
said to be the estimate of the average
successful business man.
The scientist, however, looks at the
question from another angle. Accord
ing to him a man is worth $2.45 for
Illuminating purposes, since a man
weighing 150 pounds contains about
$500 cubic feet of oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen in his constitution which
at 20 cents per 1000 cubic feet equals
the price above. Also a man contains
enough carbon TO make 1880 lead pen
ellis; enough phosphorus t. make S0O,-
600 matches or enough + kill 800 per-
sons, and enough water to fill 49,
quart reservoir.
Furthermore, 1t makes no difference
how sour man may look he contains
about go Jumps Of sugar, great deal
of starch, chloride of potash, magnesi-
um, sulphur and hydrochloric acid In
his system. There are 90 grains of
iron In the blood of an ordinary man,
enough to make one spike large enough
to hold his weight.
What is a man? This is the some
what cyaical answer of one scientific
man:
Break the shells of 1000 eggs into
a huge pan or basin and you have In
gradients from which to form him
from his toenails to the most delicate
tissues of his braln."-Popular Sci

Indian Arrow Heads.

Mr.. Gushing, an authority on mat
ters pertaining to Indians, tells how,
when he was a boy, he learned how the
Indians made their arrow heads.
He had unearthed a beautiful har-
pOon of bone. He had toothbrush with
him, and the bone handle of this he
chopped eff and ground down on a
piece of sandstone, to make harpOon
of his own but he could not grind such
clean-cut barbs as those of the relic.
The boy then took his flint scales and
chips and set to work with them. The
flint cut the bone away but left the
work rough. Then accidentally he
made a discovery, for no sooner had he
begun to rub the bone transversely on
the flint than TIE bone cut the flint
away. Not jaggedly, as his hammer
stone would have Clipped 1t but in
long, continuously narrow surface fur
rows wherever the edge was caught in
the bone at a certain angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
turned it about and used it as an ar
row cutter by tying it to little rod
Of wood with a shoestrfng. He had
found out how the Indians made
arrow heads.

Real Beast of Burden.

The burrO can generally get away
with anything that can be strapped to
him. Sometimes he is called upon to
move the entire possessions of family
and he does it. He is the only ami
NAL in captivity that can climb cliff
with cookstove, mattress, a trunk,
q washtub, two frying pans, the fam
lily Bible and couple of lengths Of
stovepipe tied to his back. At times
he seems almost buried beneath his
burden and it is rather startling for
the stranger to see load ambling
cozily up hill without any visible
means of erlnnort.-LoS AH~r'es Times.

RIVER NAVIGATION TO BOOM

Memphis, Tenn.-One company is be-
ing organized with capital stock of
So, 100000 for the purpose of develop
ing navigation on the Mississippi river,
and there are indications that other
corporations with the same object will
be organized within the next few
months. River men believe that be-
cause Of the congested condition OF
railroads river navigation will come
into it's own. There is immense ton
mage that might be moved by water all
the way from New Orleans to st. Paul
and along the tributaries of the Mis-
sissippi, including the Ohio river and

jectedly away after being told she had
no chance.
Because l want to do something
quick for my country" she answered.
"Fd have gone to scrub floors. Do you
know If they pay stenographer any
thing? Yes, well, I'd have gone for
nothing"
The nurses feel the same way about
It. There's heart-burning and dlsap-
pointment among those left behind in
the hospitals Of the city. One nurse,
a Canadian, registered as French
army nurse as well as with the Ameri-
can Red Cross, insisted that she be al
lowed to go, since she had served a
year In the small hospitals Of France
and knew the game.
THAT'S just why you must stay
here" answered the head nurse to
whom she applied. "You have had
your chance and now you'll have to let
someone else have try at ii. 1t
wouldn't be fair to give 1t twice to
you"
The Canadian gave up with bad
grace, but finally cOnsoled herself with
the thought that these early units
would soon be followed by others, and
that If the war lasts as long as now
seems probable those who went late
would be less near the breaking point
when peace came.
When mobilization orders went out
of Washington last month for seven
hospital units to proceed as soon as
possible to France, the first to get
away was the one from Cleveland.
"Thats because we did that mobili-
zation stunt in Philadelphia last year."
said one Of the young khaki-clad doc
tors before he sailed. 1--WE thought at
the time the practice idea was all flub-
dub, but we're tickled to death now.
We were told that if we could mobilize
In ten days we could get the firR ship.
We did it in seven"
Some of Cleveland's most eminent
doctors threw up practices worth
scores of thousands to go with their
unit on a majors pay Of three thou
sand year. DIR. George w. Grille, it's
will follow later, but his part
ner, Doctor Lower, went along, as well
as Doctor Hoover, head of the medical
staff of Lakeside hospital. Out Of the
units hundred and fifty civilians, 76
are college boys, some Of them within
a month of their diplomas. Just be-
fore the ship sailed news came that
the organization was to be received
with celebrations on the other side.
"We can't march without music"
said the director, and the civilian force
was hastily canvassed for musical tai
ent. Ten minutes before the gang
plank was raised three snare drums
and bundle of flies were hurried |
aboard, and the first division Of the |
American army in Europe expects to
parade to the tune of yankee Doodle"

The spring flows with great volume
for 20 minutes and then ceases for
the same length of time.
This spring furnishes about half
the volume of Swift Greek, and played
a great part in the failure Of the saw
mill enterprise several years ago, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mccain.
A settler established a mill on Swift
Creek. When he turned the water in
to the milirace his troubles began. For
20 minutes the volume was sufficient
to turn the wheels, and then for the
next 20 minutes everybody was idle
