staqe Art and Motion Pictures.

As form of entertainment, not in- struction. the motion picture will prob ably develop Falong the lines of free. even fantastic, romance, of melodrama and of simple narrative. The stage. free from the burden of supplying these forms of entertainment, will probably concentrate, more on the mission of the spoken work, which Is to convey ideas and illuminate character. on the creation of the complete illusion of reality and on the pictorial art or scene painting. The movies and the spoken drama are not so antagonistic as we at first pessimistically supposed. Time. we think, will prove to us that in real. ity they are two different forms of art. as different us painting and sculpture American Year Book

Measurinu a Rainfall.

The depth of the sheet of water that would lie on level ground if none of the water were lost by evaporation or soaking into the soil represents the amount of rainfall of a given storm and is measured by rain gauge The standard rain gauge of the weather bureau. consists of funnel shaped re ceiyer eight inches in diameter at the top, surmounted by a cylinder of one and one-half inches in height and eight inches in diameter The funnel is placed in a cylindrical reservoir. 2.53 inches in diameter and twenty inches ill height. The area of the cross sec tion of the reservoir is to that of the receiver as one to ten, or one inch of rain falling in the receiver corresponds with ten inches of water in the gauge being magnified ten times for the con. venience and accuracy of measure. ment

Settlinq a Bill.

When Andrew Jackson lived at Sails bury, N. C., he once attended court at Rockford, then the county seat of Sur ry, and left without paying his bill, which was duly charged up against him on the hotel register, which seems to have been the hotel ledger at that time. and so stood for many years. When the news of the victory of the Sth of January, 1915, was received in this then remote section the old landlord turned back the leaves of the register. took his pen and wrote under the ac- count against Andrew Jackson, Settled in full by the battle of New Orleans"

Ancient Chinese Inuenuity.

We are assured that the taxicab Is no new thing, being in its general prin- ciples thing known to the ancient Romans. But now an orientalist goes even further and asserts that mechan ical carts capable of registering dis tances travelled by counting and re- cording the revolutions of very large cartwheels, connected by cogs with other concentric or eccentric horizontal and perpendicular wheels of propor tionate diameters, have been well known to the Chinese for HOO or 1900 years. On the top of the cart was the figure of man holding drum, which he beat when one Ii. a third of a mile was travelled. Some carts had in ad. dition a figure holding a cymbal. which was struck when the drum had been beaten ten times.

Friction Skins

Several theories have been advances 10 explain the corrugations of tingrls \, palms and soles, but the most plausible one is that expressed by the term fire tion skins" given by Mrs. Harris II Wilder. Not only man, but all the mon keys and apes have such ridges OH thr skin of the grasping part of their haEds. and feet. And, strangely enough, th2 American opossums and tree porcu pines, Australian phalangers and South American monkeys have just such cor rugations on their tails.
 The openings of the ducts of the sweat glands are along the tops of the ridges. They supply the slight moisture that is necessary to proper grasping The Journal of Heredity, in a long study of hand and foot prints. remarks that a man instinctively moistens the palms of his hands when he wishes to grasp securely.
 The pattern of finger prints is gen- orally hereditary, but every individual develops his own details.

Tracer Shells.

It is one thing to stop hostile bat tery in an artillery duel and another problem altogether to hit 1t. The To- cality may be we'll known. but the range difficult to determine. To sim plify matters in this respect tracer shells are used. Into the base of the shell a metal case is screwed contain ing a material which is self igniting as the projectile rushes through space. For night operations the material used in the tracer bursts into a brilliant flame, but by day the tracer" leaves Il trail of dense black smoke. By this means the gunners are able to watch and time the shell right up to the mo ment the explosion takes place. and by knowing the locality in which the shell bursts the adjustment to the range of the target is comparatively q simple matter.-London Mail.

Pepys at a Banquet.

People probably eat more judiciOusly today than they did when Samuel Pc pys wrote the following account of his holiday menu:
 eve had a fricasee of rabbits and chickens. a leg of mutton, boiled; three carps in dish. a great dish of side of lamb. q dish of roasted pigeons. a dish of four Holsters. three -tarts. a lamprey pie-a most rare pie-a dish of anchovies, good wine of several sorts and all things mighty noble, to my great content"
 The striking thing about this feast, which was probably a typical one of it's day QG63), is that it is composed al, most entirely of meat and fish. relicv- ed only by pastry and wine. If there were any vegetables in it Pepys did not consider it necessary to mention them, and it is possible that there were none. Potatoes were hardly known in England at that time. and many other vegetables now considered necessaries were either not known OF were rarely used.-San Francisco Bulletin.
