Babies Cries Set to Music.

The crying of babies is not regard.
ed as musical, but nevertheless it is.
Rev. Noel BOnava Hunt. senior
curate of st. Matthew's church, Willes-
den England. has set infants cries to
music. He was particularly impressed
with the beauty and musical quality OF
the walls and cries of the infants at
the baptismal services held at st. Mat
thew's. He tried to persuade the
church musicians TO catch the sounds
and set them To music, but they re-
fused. At length Rev. Mr.. Hunt HIM
Self recorded the sounds in the form
of chant set to the words of the One
Hundred and Thirty-seventh psalm ::
"By the waters of Babylon we sat
down and wept, when We remembered
thee, o Zion" The composition is
original" Rev. Mr.. Hunt says, land it
is q little groteSque, but it is musical.
1t represents the meaning of the words
to which it is set"

STATISTICS AS WOOING AID
Suitor Lays Stress on Fact That Only
Six Out Of twenty-five Girls
Receive Second Proposal

One day she remarked that she did
not intend To get married for IL num-
Der Of years. no matter how attruc-
tive an opportunity might be offered
to her; that she was young enough
10 wait a while. she thought, and was
in no hurry. says u writer in the Amer
lean Magazine.
The next time l saw her / was
armed with some interesting facts
had obtained from friend Of mine
who is an insurance agent. These
facts dealt with the marrying ages Of
women in various states, and showed
that the average bride Is surprisingly
young. In other words, the woman
who does not marry before she is
twenty-five stands an astonishing big
chance Of not marrying at all. l told
her that out OF every six girls Of TWEEN
ty-five who refused a proposal only
one on the average ever received Il
second offer Of marriage. OF course,
l presented these figures in Il joking
way. Thus they served the double
purpose Of giving the impression that
! had good sense of humor and also
Of setting her 10 thinking.

The Rattan Cane.

One Of the most important exports
of Singapore IS rattan, although it
does not make large showing as TO
value, being a comparatively cheap ar
ticle compared with its bulk. Singa-
pore is probably the leading export
market for rattans in the world, al
though practically none of the raw
product IS produced in the Straits Set
Elements and very little in the FEEDER
ated Malay states, most of ii being
collected from the islands Of Sumatra,
BOrneo, the CelebeS and smaller ~
lands. Ordinarily cut from the jungle
by natives under the direction of
Chinese merchants doing business in
the interior, it is bought up by large
dealers in the principal towns and
eventually sold to Singapore buyers
in bundles as II comes originally from
the jungle. The buyers in Singapore
take the rattan in this form and put
1t through a process of selection and
cleaning, after which 1t IS bundled
together according to grade and
shipped direct to various parts Of the
world.

Cod-Skin for Book Covers.

According TO the Weser Zeitung
(Bremen). a Berlin bookbinder has
discovered a new material for book
bindIng-Codfish skin-a doubly-wel-
come discovery in these days Of leath-
er shortage. In itself the use Of fish
skin for bOOk-binding is no novelty (;
among others, shark leather had pre-
viOusly been used for binding de luxe
for the sake of it's durability and beau
tiful markings.
Cod-skIn has several advantages
over shark-skin; 1t Is more abundant,
more easily procurable, and, therefore,
cheaper. The appearance Of the skin,
unscaled and properly prepared, re-
sembles snakes skin. Its strength
and durability have been tested and
found equal to parchment by the royal
material-testing office IN Berlin. II is
easy to work and literally untearable,
and should therefore prove a very
valuable substitute for leather. not only
for bookbindery. but for the manufac-
ture Of leather goods.

Fatted Calf is a Sheep,

Syria is probably the only country
wherein the fattcd calf IS still-meta-
phOrically speaking-killed. 1t comes
about in this way: Each family Sc
lects from its flock Il particularly fine
sheep, has 1t sheared and brought into
the house at the beginning Of winter
II iS washed and most carefully kept
while being fattened with selected
food. SO Overfcd is the animal that
the owner helps 1t work its tired jaws
during maStiCatiOn in order to com
plcte the fattening process. When
some distinguished visitor arrives, or
some great event tranSpir"s, the sheep
IS killed. As the Syrian people eat
only freSh-killcd meat, never refrige-
rated meat the entire animal must at
once be disposed Of-cOOked-sO II
can be stored for future consumption.

Prospecting and development work

and One-half years with satisfactory
results, and today the first shipment
OF this product is being made, full
cargo of $50 tons being sent TO con-
signees in the United States. Develop
ment work has now reached a stage
where a steady output is assured, and
other shipments are expected TO fol-

Gold Leaf.

There appears to be some mystery
about the origin Of gold leaf. 1t Is
found, for example, In connection
with the most ancient known num-
mics, having been used for covering
teeth, tongue. skin, etc. Sometimes It
is also found on the collins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs and mOnu-
rients Of ancient Egypt. The process
Of making gold leaf has thus been
known since the eighth century. B. c.
In the eleventh century It seems TO
have attained as high a degree Of per-
lection as today. The gold leaf on
some ancient Grecian pottery, indeed,
Is as thin as that now used.

A. an easy method of calculating

ed:
Who're practicable tuae an iud.ru-
ton diagram which shows Tn" mean
pressure Of steam throughout the
stroke. IN order % calculate the pres
sure, ten ordiuatcS are usually drawn
across the diagram; the length OF
these is measured on Il scale repre-
sentlnG tie pounds Ter square lurh Of
pressure. The ten numbers thus ol-
taiurd are added together and the sum
divided by ten; This gives the average
pressure per square inch of steam
throughout the stroke. Calculate The,
area Of the piston !n square inches
from its diameter. and multiply this
by the square inch. This gives the
total pressure eNprr"d ON the piston.
Next multiply the number ot reyolI-
lions Of the engine per minute by

this gives the speed Of the piston in

OREGON YOUNGSTER
In HALL OF FAME

Portland. Ore. Feb. s.-The North
west produced a player in 1916 who
has entered Footballs Hall of Fame
through a brilliant Individual exploit.
This bright star is George Washing
ton Conn. better known as "Tuffy"
Conn, the brilliant half back OF Ore
gon Agricultural College. of Corvallis.
Ore.
Conn's entry into fame was achieved
through the medium of a run of lo1
yards for a touchdown after having
seized a tumble yard behind his own
goal line.
Conn's run was one of the most
sensational seen in years. Dow V.
Walker. superintendent of the Multi
nomah Amateur Athletic Club, of Port
land. Ore, is credited with a run of
I105 yards from a tumble for a touch
down, but that was when the gridiron
was 110 yards in length, instead of
100 as at present.
Conn is a native son" of California,
having been graduated from the Pasa-
dena, Cal, High School and going
North with Joseph A. Pipal, now coach
ing the Oregon Aggies. Last year
Pipal was with a Southern California
institution.
