How Houses Explode.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes Is the explo.
sion Of houses, which literally burst,
scattering their fragments In all dlrec-
lions. Sometimes substantial dwell
ings nre carried high into the air and
then explode.
1t Is now understood that this Is due
to the fact TINT the funnel cloud" IRE
volving at n rate Of at lenst 500 miles
an hour has n vacuum inside. Thus II
sucks up everything In Its path, even
emptylng wells. It sucks all the air
from around house over which II
passes, and the house On vacuum being
thus created outside Of ~ promptly eX-
plodes, owing to the pressure of the
air, at thirty pounds to the square
inch, from within.
Tho house, in word, IL transformed
into bomb philadelphia Press.

ROCKVILLE MARYLAND FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER
Tho Lsnqth of Revolutions.

For its size and significance the Rus
sian revolution was one of the quickest
and least sanguinary on record. Six
days practically saw the end of 1t,
whereas more than three years elapsed
between the stormlng of the Bastille
and the proclamation Of the French re-
public. 1t took six days Of barricado
fighting in 1880 to persuade Charles y.
to abdicate, but Louis Philippe fled In
1S4S after only two, though the subse-
quent state of siege lasted four
months.
England was ten years in establish
ing commonwealth, and five weeks
sufflced to convince James II. that
French soil was healthier for him than
English. The Italian wars of liberia
ton occupied most of 1860, and the in
surrection in which the Greeks de
posed King Ohio In 1862 was over in
fourteen days. The quickest revolution
on record was that of Portugal in 1910,
which was over in a day.-London OBJ

Ehlae Economy.

Some people begrudge the eXpendi.
ture of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message OF
friendship in time of trouble. To them
flowers are of no use, pictures and
music II waste Of money. But life re-
strlcted to things that go into the pot
or are worn on the back results In
starving the spirit. "If l had two
loaves OF bread l would sell one OF
them TO buy white hyaclnths to feed
my soul" That was the terse and
poetic sentiment Of Il truth oft neg.
lected.
Even the poor need other things
more than they need money. The
money win be gone next month, but
the memory Of great bunch of wild
flowers remains. Flower missions
furnish beautiful ministry that al
most any Sunday school class can exer-
else. Send your posies to the hospitals
or to the children of the slums.--

How the HoraeflY Ritaa.

When horsefly alights on n horse
he walks around looking for tender
spot, and this he finds with his hairy
feelers. Then he cuts hole with the
scissors on each side of his central tn
bular tongue.
An ordinary lead pencil cannot be
sharpened to point without sharpen
ing the lead. So 1t is with the tubular
end Of this tongue-llke extension of the
horseny, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Nature has provided 1t with
barbed, piercing derrick ropes" The
fly inserts these sharp points into the
horse and then pulls back on them.
The barbs hold, and the ly's tongue Is
forced down into the horses flesh But
If the hole has already been made then
1t is not necessary for these elaborate
tools to be taken from the sheath in
which they are placed within the
tongue or proboscls. The blood Is
sucked up by the tongue In practically
the same way as by other forms of flies

Tho EindInn of odd GLORY.

When the day came that our revolu,
tionary fathers needed to design a flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding they had but to lift their eyes
to the heavens to find the banner OF
their faith and pride.
In the glowing west, In the burning
clouds of the sunset slSy-sreamlng
across the wide horizon In alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams,
mystic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked there came sud
den rendlng of the fleecy mass by a
wind of llberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they beheld patch of azure sky set
thick with silver stars.
Tho stars-the stripes-the blue-Old
Glory, blazoned In beauty across the
wonder of Gods heaven, for all the
world to see. 1t is our flag-God make
us worthy OF it.-Anne Rankin IN
Southern Woman's Magazine.

The Alaska walrus are enormous.
The average one is as big ms an OK,

A walrus was recently killed by some
whnlers near Point Barrow, whose

including nlppers, 800 pounds. That
animal had n glrth Of fourteen feet,

inequality of Punishment by Fine.


An anomaly In our Jurisprudence
limited, however, to the administration
Of criminal law, is the evil of allowing
the purchase Of immunity from punish
ment, writes Franklin Taylor IN Case
and Comment. A penalty Is imposed
with the alternative of paying n fine.
The rich man pays and goes free, The
poor man is imprisoned for not having
the money. And even among those
who can afford to thus purchase i'm
munity the result is most unfair, be-
cause the punishment, instead Of be-
ing commensurate with the degree of
the oifensc, meets its severity accord
ing to the size Of the defendants
pocketbook. TO one man the amount
il Of no consequence, Is not even pun
ishment To another, because of his
lowly position, n similar amount may
mean weeks Of toll, hardship, priva-
ton and suffering to himself and his
dependents.

SLAUGHTER NO CALVES
DURING WAR

The pure food department has
the signed agreement of the own
er of every licensed slaughter
house in the state to comply with
the resolution passed by the Ida
no war council to the effect that
they will not slaughter calves for
veal and would like to get an
agreement from the farmers, no
tells and restaurants to the fact
they will neither slaughter calves
nor serve veal on the table. The
public is asked to refrain from
eating it.
Pure Food Commissioner J. K
White issued a statement to the
public, farmers, hotels and re-

resolution passed by the war
council is reproduced and the fol-
lowing statement is added:
This is an emergency wal

The state farm markets depart
ment will find market for
calves that cannot be raised by
dairymen and others to maturity
and it is hoped the state and ma
ton may have your cooperation
in this matter.
This Office will appreciate and
treat as confidential information
of non-observance of this reso-
luton on the part of any resident

ment of every licensed slaughter
