Round Towers of Ireland.

No one knows exactly when or why the round towers in Ireland were built, but some believe that the drutds erect ed them as watch towers and places to which to go for safeWin time of dan ger A good many of the towers have the tops broken down, and those which show the cone tops intact have mostly been restored. There is no door on the ground, the doors being purposely built at about ten or fifteen feet from the ground and were reached by lad ders. After the people had climbed in side they drew their ladders up after them and thus were out of reach of the Danes who frequently invaded the country. The tiny windows of these towers are far up toward the top also. About eighty round towers remain in Ireland, but only few of them are perfect. According to one authority, they were probably built between the ninth and thirteenth centuries.

ND FREIGHT 5. RATE INCREASE W0uL CUT OUT PROFITS
Western Roads Would Pass Dividend on Present
 Rates.

Washington. June 1s.-The inter- state commerce commission yester- day completed It's hearings on the 15 per cent freight rate increase by railroads to become operative July IS.
 With. less than three weeks in which to make a decision involving a sum estimated by shippers at s3OO,- O00.00Q the committee has before, it for review hundreds of letters, telegrams and briefs. as we'll as a great mass ot testimony, arguments and statistics.
 Today's arguments were, opened by Charles Donne1ly, chief counsel for the western railroads, who said that several important western lines, with a long dividend record, would, be ob- Hged to reduce, if snot pass, the divi- dends In the near. future if the pro- posed increase Is not granted.
 The western carriers base their request for prompt advance -ir their freight rates" MT. Donneily said. Con the ground that increases in wages, taxes and prices>of fuel and railroad supplies have given rise tc an emergency. It is shown that o1 20 of the leading carriers in the wes- tern district operating 10000 out oi ] 10000 miles of railroad, the net in come which in the calendar year 1916 amounted to $403,00O,0 ,000, would have been reduced to 277,000,00O if those roads had been operated in that yea. under the conditions as to wages, fuel prices and material prices which now prevail or which within a few weeks must be met

Taste and Temperature.

The sense of taste resides in little flask shaped pockets imbedded in the spin of the surface of the tongue and in the upper part of the throat. Each of these bulbs has a fibril of a nerve connecting it with the larger nerves of it's region. Anything to be tasted must be in dissolved or gaseous condition so as to reach the interior of the bulbs, and differences in taste depend upon the varying intensity with which the impression is transmitted through the nerves. It is not surprising, then, that taste is much influenced by tempera- ture and may temporarily be stopped altogether by extreme heat or cold. The sense of taste is, it appears, strongest at a temperature between 50 and 60 degrees F.

Two Freaks of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of natrlrcsare the Island of Fire and the Lake of Snow. The Island of Fire is called the Home of Hot Devils. It is situated in the midst of large lake of boiling mud in the island of Java. The steam and gases which arise from the sticky mud form themselves into bubbles, at taining a diameter of five or six feet, and sail high up in the air like bal looms, carried hither and thither by the wind and finally exploding with loud crash.
 The biggest snow lake is seen from the summit of Hispar pass, in the Ka- -rakoram range. It is more than 300 square miles in area. In Switzerland the sea of ice might better be called the sea of snow, as the surface is bro- ken up by solar heat, which makes a minute Assuring in the ice, giving it the appearance of snow.

Indian Slaves of South America.

Timid, cringing, taking of his hat respectfully to every white man he meets, the Indian of the west coast of South America is pitiable object.
 In the cities he shares with the burro the honor of being everybody's burden bearer. No one but an Indian will be seen with even the smallest package. and you can engage @ detachment of the children of the sun" to carry home anything from half a pound of tea to a 200 pound trunk. You pay him what you will; he dares not chaffer about price with 0 white man.
 On the great plantations and in the mines the Indian is virtual slave. There is no free agricultural labor on the west coast. Four days week the peon must work for the great land holders at the snunifcent wage of 10 cents day. The rest of the time he may devote to his own acre or two, which must feed and clothe his family.

 But Mother Says 'sNix''

Carmine Casella, of sO6 North ave- nue, Bridgeport, would have been in the United States army service at Fort Slocum today if his mother had not interfered and refused to give her consent to his acceptance as an army private.

When Man Is Most Efficient.

In the American Magazine Dean Herman Schneider of the School of Engineering of the University of Gin cinnati says:
 "A man is most efficient when he is doing the work that gives him the greatest satisfaction. From the laborer to the business executive, every man should get three things out of work-a decent living, development and disci- pline and satisfaction in the doing.
 \''If your job gives these to you give back to it the best work of your hand and brain. If it fails to give you these face the fact that you are misfit and seek your appointed place. You have no right to let life remain separated from its two handmaids-iberty and the pursuit of happiness

of such things as Gisqnalify; nor
shall anyone be chosen who is not
scholar to do the business, nor
unless acquainted with the laws of
the country in some measure, but
particularly with every article of
the constitution.
This constitution was of some
length, and too long to repeat in
full here, and extracts from the
particular sections mentioned are
given as being worthy of our inter-
est. The constitution had append
ell with it a declaration of rights,
embracing therein most of the dec
laration of rights in substance rs
our Federal Constitution.
Greenville was the capital of
Franklin, and John Sewer served
as the States Governor. The State
of North Carolina continued to
claim the territory embracing the
State of Franklin as still part of
that State and through its leglsla-
ture never recognized the State of
Franklin, and continued to legislate
for them, and sought to impose
taxes on them for the State of
North Carolina; this resulted in
considerable con fusion, and, great
deal of correspondence was carried
on between Governor Sewer and the
Governor of North Carolina until
finally at the house of Samuel
Smith (who probably lived in Sui
llvan county, conference was
held March 20, 1887. and articles
of agreement entered into between
Evan Shelby representing the State
of North Carolina and John Sc
vier representing Franklin, wherein
partial separation was recognized,
and recommending that the people
of Franklin take such modes and
regulations and set forth their
grievances, if any they had, and
solicit North Carolina at their next
annual meeting of the General AS
sembly for to complete the separa-
ton: etc. North Carolina's reco9-
milton never grew stronger in favor
of Franklin while under that name
for it ceased to exist as the State
of Franklin March 1st, 1888.
In 1889, after the sentiment OF
the State of North Carolina had
grown in:favor of a separation of
the western territory, the State
ceded again the territory to Con-
gress and it became afterwards the
territory of Tennessee, and was ad-
mitted into the union in 1895 AS
the State of Tennessee.
President Geo. Washington hav-
ing sent a message to the Senate
and House of Representatives on
the Sth of April, 1895, urging rec
ognition of the territory as State,
on April 18th following resolu-
tion was adopted declaring Tenn
essee to be one of the sixteen Unit
ed States of America.
At the time of Tennessee's ad-
mission into the Union only eleven
counties had been formed in the
territory, viz;
Washington, Sullivan, Greene,
Davidson, Sumner, Hawkins Tenn
essee, jefferson, Knox, Sewer and
Blount; and during the same month,
April, 1895, four more counties
were formed, Zone however, Mont
gumery, supplanted in part the
county of Tennessee.w which gave up
its name when Tennessee was ad-
mitted) they were viz: Carter,
