ORIGIN OF KHAKI EXPLAINED
Dun.Ceiored Cloth So Widely Used fer
Uniforms Was Discovered
by Accident.

The dun -colOred khaki so widely
used for uniforms was discovered by
an accident. For many years the Brit
ish troops in India wore cotton cloth
of a greenish-brown, but 1t always
faded when washed with soap.
While talking over this defect with
some British officers, business man
from England said that fortune
awaited the manufacturer Of a cotton
drill that would not fade. One Of
the officers, young man, took the
hint.
When he got home he employed a
sktllful dyer, and the two began a sys-
tematic search for an olive dye that,
when used on cotton cloth, would not
yield to soap or soda. They spent
years in experiments, but without sue
cuss, and had almost begun to give up
hope.
One day, however, they found among
numerous scraps Of dyed cloths one
that retained its color under the most
severe tests. The puzzling part of 1t
was lidt uuN OCCA tuACA
from piece of cloth which had gone
through the same processes, but which
had failed when tested. For long
time the experimenters tried to solve
this riddle. The one bit of cloth men
toned was the only piece that kept its
color against all attacks.
Finally, by the merest chance, they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped had re-
mained for some time in metal dish
of peculiar kind. This metal, in com
bination with the chemicals of the dye
had furnished the very thing needed
They made the experiment with other
pieces; the dye held, and their for.
tunes were made.

Guarding the Bank Of France.

There are plenty of ingenious burg
lars in the world but he would have to
be very ingenious burglar indeed who
should find a way to rob the Bank OF
france. The measures taken for guard
ing the money are Of such a nature
that burglary would seem to be impos
sible.
Every day when the money Is put In.
to the vaults In the cellar, and before
the officers leave, masons are in attend
ance whose duty it is to wall up the
doors with hydraulic mortar. Water
is then turned on, and kept running
until the cellar Is flooded.
A burglar would thus have to work
in diving suit, and break down a ce.
ment wall before he could even begin
to break into the vaults. When the of.
ticers arrive the next morning, the wa.
ter Is drawn off, the masonry torn
down, and the vaults opened.

WHY NOT INITIATE ANIMALs7
Universal instinct Teaches Them to
Go Through Certain Exercises
on First Waking.

All the higher animals go through
certain exercises on first awaking
There seems universal instinct which
teaches that certain stretches, expan.
siOns and breathing are necessary at
This time. The movements of animals
on awaking are yawning, deep breath
ing, expansion and stretching. But
men rarely take such exercises. AS q
matter Of fact, man possibly takes
more time, whines more, and does less
than any other animal between the
moment Of awaking and standing
erect.
Although the stretch has been care
fully explained by science, few know
the real meaning. The stretch ex-
tends the body so that the veins, where
congestion Is most liable to take place
and where pressure Of blood Is weak
est are $50 elongated that the blood
flows more easily from the arteries,
where the pressure Is strongest,
through the veins back to the heart,
and circulation ls eQualized and stimu.
lated.
The yawn Is similar to the stretch.
The yaWn Is q stretch of the lungs,
while the stretch is yawn OF the
muscles, and both express hunger
Cor oxygen. The half hour between
waking and rising should be freshened
by thoughts of joyous things-chuck-
ling, laughing, stretching and yawn-
ing.-New York Sun.

Disease Caused by Fear.

An eminent authority once made the
statement that a great deal of conta-
gion is due largely to nervous appre-
hensiOn and fear. Terror causes radi-
cal changes In the secretions and nerve
cells, and while the possibility is not
the direct cause Of disease, 1t certain
ly Is sufficient to put the person In the
proper condition to be attacked by the
prevailing malady.
1t is a well-understood fact that ex-
cessive anger infuses a toxic element
into the secretions. Fear destroys the
resistive capability, and, as 1t were,
lets down the drawbridge and makes
way for the enemy.

Hard Winters Of Iona Auo,

Why do most people believe that the
winters were more severe and were at.
tended by heavier snowfalls in their
childhood days than they are now
The myth of the 'old-fashioned win.
ter" Is almost universal, and Is another
proof Of counting the hits and not
the misses" Heavy snow and intense
cold produce a more lasting impress
sion upon the mind than open, mild
weather. We remember the excep.
tiOnal weather Of the past, and forget
the normal weather. In some cases q
change of residence accounts for this
belief. Some parts Of the country
have much heavier snowfall than
others. In any given locality the
weather conditions are usually uni,
