THE GOLDEN CALF.

1t is related that while Heine and
the poet Soulie were once chatting
together in Partisan drawing-room
there entered one of those Parisians
whom one usually compared to
Midas, but not alone on account Of
their money. He was soon surround
ed by crowd that treated him with
the greatest Difference.
'Look over there" said Soulie to
Heine, "and see how the nineteenth
century is worshiping the Golden
Calf"
Heine cast one glance at the OBJ
ject of alteration and replied, as if
correcting his friend: |
ooh, he must be older than that

NEW STYLES FOR SOLDIERS
6uslnessIlke Uniform Now Worn BY
American Fighting Man Unlike
Bizarre Garb Of Early Days.

There is little in the businesslike,

scent of the colorful, bizarre garb Of
the early army of the United States.
From the time Of the revolution

dency was steadily toward simplicity,
but it was not until after the wal
with Spain that khaki was adopted
and the easily visible blue trousers
and shirt discarded, says the Rehe-

. Today the American soldiers uni
form is designed for comfort, serv-
iceability, protection from both
weather and discovery by the enemy

What some Of the picturesque old
uniforms were devised for is more
than one can say-unless it was for
their picturesqueness.

TAKING POISON OUT OF SALT
Worlds Supply Seems to Be Inexhaust-
Ible But None Of II Is Wholly
Pure Until Treated.

AS far as the supply Of salt goes
It is estimated that there is enough
available to last forever. Michigan
alone, It is said, claims to be able to
supply the whole world for 1000 years
with all the salt 1t needs. But no
matter how plentiful salt may be, 1t
has the disadvantage Of being a poi
son, for no salt is wholly pure. Thus,
If the poison in salt can be eliminated
vast additional sources will be avail
able.
: Scientists have come to the front
and have tackled the problem sue
cessfully. By adding q solution of
just the right amount of sulphate of
soda, the barium or poison in the salt
is changed to sulphate, and with it is
removed the pink or brownish color
due to iron salts. Thus is made avail
able an unlimited supply of salt, which
means more raw material for the
chemical industries, because the BARI
um-bearing salt is used for making ice.

Nicholas was not the first, nor will
he be the last, to yield up judgment
and will into the hands Of a queenly
and beautiful woman. The motive Of
Samson and Delllah Of the vale OF
Sorek is a scarlet thread that runs
through all history. And Empress
Alexandra herself, a broken-hearted
woman from the beginning, was led to
the brink Of the precipice by forces Of
tremendous and universal strength;
her passionate and morbid love for her
invalid son, born after long waiting,
whose pains were alleviated, It would
seem, by Rasputin's magnetic force,
Just as the fatal malady Of the cars
father, Alexander III, was lightened
by the similar but more benign power

gar or trivial motives; they have
swayed great souls through all his

BIGGEST OF THE BIG GUNS
Giant Weapons Of United States De-
Tending Panama Canal Shoot Pro-
JectIIes Weighing Over Ton.

II is not easy TO understand what
the power Of a gun really is--its pene-
trating and destructive power, OBJ
serves Popular Science. What we call
a 15-inch gun-which means one
whose muzzle or hollow part Is 10
inches I'm diameter-will hurl a shell
right through a plate or wall Of the
hardest steel II inches thick seven
miles from the muzzle. The power of
the very largest land guns ever made
the German howitzers or 1875 guns
is such that one of their missiles
cracks open a steel and concrete fort
as If IL were a nut.
There are two classes of guns
naval guns and army or land guns.
Because they can be manipulated more
easily than those Of a ship, land guns
are the heavier. From eight to ten
miles is the greatest distance that a
gunner can cover successfully at sea.
The largest naval gun is the 15-inch
English gun on the famous super
dreadnaught and the largest land gun
is the German howitzer. OF the two
the naval gun fires a shell weighing
over half ton, while the other fires a
projectile a ton in weight. But the
new giant 16-inch guns of the United
States defending the Panama canal
and New York at Sandy Hook shoot
projectiles weighing 2,370 pounds,
which is over a ton. These immense
steel guns can sink a ship before it
has really come into sight on the hori-
zon, the location Of the battleship hav-
ing been determined by airplane or
tower.

NEW STOPPER BEATS FRAUDS
Device Prevents the Removal Of Corr
From Bottle Unless the Seals
Are Broken.

AS means Of protection to deal
ers having an individual trade mark
and to prevent their bottled goods
from being tempered with by the un-
serupulous, the bottle stopper recent
ly invented by James Allen Of Wash
ington meets a specific need, says the
Popular Science Monthly.
II consists Of an ordinary tapered
cork with flexible wire or cord
passing through the center. At the
end of the wire is a plug. The plug
has a Hanged head. When the wire
is pulled the flange strikes the cork
SO that the plug cannot BE pulled
out.
The cork is used in connection
with two protective seals, one seal
being wrapped around the neck of
the bottle and pasted to it, the other
being secured to the top Of the bot
tie. A part Of the pulling cord is
held beneath the seal on the top of
the bottle and the ends are held
down under the other seal. It is
therefore impossible to pull the
string in order to open the bottle
without mutilating the seal or the
lead foil cup.
When this stopper is used it is
pushed down flush with the top Of
the bottle so that no part of it pro-
Ijects. BY pulling the cord the seals
or any lead foil capsules which may
be used instead Of seals are broken
through and the stopper removed
without a corkscrew or other aid.
The end of the looped cord may
be entirely concealed beneath the
lead foil or it may project little in
order that it may be more readily
found when needed. Lead foil caps
or seals may be used as preferred,
with equal satisfaction.

Nails and Teeth Not Poisonous.

Nails and teeth of animals are not
in themselves poisonous. A scratch or
bite from a dog or cat may prove poi
sonOus, but only because some inn
purity or germ has been deposited in
the ugly wound that results. When a
serpent bites 1t discharges a special
poison, which is secreted from glands.
