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 ViscOnti compelled two
papaI delegates to eat the bull of ex.
communication which they had brought
him, together with it's silken cords and
leaden seal. AS the bull was written
ON parchment, it was all the more diff
fcult to digest. A similar anecdOte is
related of an Austrian general, who
had signed a note for 1000 flOrins, and,
when it fell due, compelled his cred
itOrs to eat it.
A Scandinavian writer, the author
of a 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 kitch
en-, but was forced to swallow then
uncOOked. Still worse was the fate OF
Philip Oldenburger, a jurist of great
renOwn, who was condemned not only
to eat a pamphlet of his writing, bu
also to be fiogged during his repast.

MACHINE TO CUT DOWN TREES
Device Invented in England Said to
Perform More Work in a Day
Than Thirty Woodmen.

The growing demand for lumber in
England and the shortage of labor
have resulted in the invention of a
tree-felling machine which is said to
perform more work in an eight-hour day
than 30 wOOdmen, according to Popu-
lar Science. A feature of the machine
is the cleanness of the cut and the
clOseness to the ground at which the
saw works, leaving no trunks standing
and thus preventing waste.
The machine is mounted on remov-
able wheels for transporting it from
place TO place. 1t consists of a steam
cylinder Is inches in diameter, with a
piston rod having a 19-inch stroke. 1t
is attached to a light wrOught-irOn
frame of triangular shape, so that the
saw can be fed up to it's work by
means Of a hand-wheel worm.
The saw is fixed to the end of the
piston rod and the teeth are designed
to cut on the inward stroke only. The
blade slides between guides and there
is no possibility of buckling. The
boiler is heated by refuse wood picked
up wherever the machine may be used

Not Just What He Meant

In a country town, following the

man of more forwardness than under

raised his hand for attention, which
was Immediately given him. Brothers
and sisters" he said, "we have listened
to a powerfully fine sermon on prohi-
bition this morning by our beloved pas

are glad the ministers are taking such
an interest in temperance, and hope
others will follow their example un-

Japanese Pearl.oxster Farm.

Japan has a pearl-Oyster farm. In
the Bay of Ago there has been estab-
lished a plantation from which a rich
harvest is obtained.
In May or June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk in
shallow water, and in August the tiny
shells begin to appear on them. The
stones remain in for two months, but,
since the young oysters cannot endure
cold, in November all rocks in less
than five feet of water are moved far
ther out, where the temperature is
more even. At the end of three years
when the shells are about two inches
across, they are taken from the water
nuclei for pearls inserted in them and
replaced in the water, 30 of them tC
every six square feet of bottom.
There they are left for four years
Then, being seven and half years old
they are removed and searched fol
pearls.

Might Flying No Picnic.

A young Canadian birdman says of
flying at night that ''yOu feel like the
man in the song, you are all dressed
up and no place to CO." 1t is simple
enough to sail away, but it is some
thing else to come down without TAX
ing off a chimney pot or "strafing" a
big oak tree. In ordinary times there
is a flare to guide you safely back to
the aerodrOme, but on raid nights,
when all is dark, and when the Arch
les" are barking at the 'Hickey-bOOs, y
and the "Hickey-boos" are putt, putt,
putting at you with their machine
guns-then night flying is surely
enough a real mans job.

Many a woman endures with noble

1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble "peculiar 10

get congested and infamed, such aches
and pains follow.
You can tell it is kidney trouble if

WRITING IS MANUAL LABOR
In Five Hours Average Penman's Fin
gers Travel over a Third of a
Mile of Paper.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended in
writing a letter.
A rapid penman can write 80 words
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through a space of 1914 feet. In
40 minutes his pen travels furlong,
and in five hours a third of mile.
In writing an average word the pen
man makes in the neighbOrhod Of 16
curves of the pen. Thus in writing 80
words to the minute his pen would
make 4S0 curves, 28,800 curves in an
hour and S6,4O0,OOO in a year Of 300
days of ten hours each.
The man who succeeded in making
100000 marks with a pen in a month
was not at all remarkable. Many men
make 100000 while merely writing.

Musical HirthrIqht Of Children.

In the most remote villages in this
country, in purely industrial cOmmu-
mites, among the poor and among the
rich (bOth having fOrgotten), children
love good songs. 1t is their natural
inheritance. No excess of material
ism in the generations affects it in the
least. This is the primitive endow-
ment; deep down in human character
there lies a harmony of adjustment
with nature. Overlay it as you may
with custom, or habit, sully it with lux
ury, it still persists, for without it hu-
man life cannot be. This idealistiC
basis of human life, which is never de-
strOyed, appears fresh and unstaineC
in children and in song it bubbles uT
