Knots In Boards

We find knots in the boards which
we notice in a lumber pile or in any
other place where boards happen to
be because the smaller limbs which
grow away from the larger limbs of
trees grow from the inside as well as
tbp outside Of the tree.
When you see a knot in a board it
means that before the tree was cut
down and the log sawed up into boards
q limb was growing out from the in
side of the tree at the spot where the
knot occurs, says the Book of Won
derS.
You will also find that the wood in
the knot is harder generally than the
rest of the board. This is because
more strength is required at the base
of a limb and in the part of the limb
which grew inside the tree than in
other parts, for the limb must be strong
enough to support not only the limb
itself. but also the smaller limbs which
grow out of it.

Bad For the Burglars.

1t would be a sad gang of robbers
who tried to break into the railway
car invented by George W. Meyers of
the United States army. They would
be greeted with clouds of poisonous
gas fumes.
Meyers robber proof car works with
extreme simplicity. Two tanks, in
which fumes of cyanide of potassium
are stored under pressure, are fitted
inside of the car at each end. These
are connected with a perforated pipe
which extends all around the door of
the car just in back of the outer frame
work. Should the train be held up the
locomotive engineer would telephone
the guards within the car, who would
Immediately open the valves of the
tank. The fumes would stream out
through the pipe perforations and into
the robbers faces. The door being
gas tight, the deadly gas could not pen
citrate into the car.-Popular Science

bringing back from time to time the
story of the mysterious deception it

there are always skeptics. Recently a
party of Nebraskans set out for the
place with the purpose Of removing all
doubt.
The rains had been very heavy and
streams and ponds in the mountains
were everywhere overlooking their
banks. All conditions We're favorable
to upsetting the claim that the pool

down from an eminence to find that
the pool appeared to be full to the brim
Coming to its edge, however, they
found it empty. And now they are

A Dual In Balloons.

It was in 1908 that Mile. Tirevit

Opera at Paris. She attracted many
men, especially one NJ. de Grandpre

Of their predicament. 1t was to be q

Meanwhile they came to the conclu-
sion that an ordinary duel wouldn't do

looms constructed exactly alike and on

fairs In anticipation of the great event

hour each man entered his balloon

signal the ropes were cut, and up they
went. They were to fire at the bal

tial element of duty. In analyzing men
for detail duty on the canal 1 found

Goethals once remarked: The world

Our Friends the Birds.

Birds are the friends Of mankind.
Were It not for their kindly offices, so
Ill requited, men could not live upon
the earth more than a year or two.
Insect life would sweep over the earth
In a devastating flood. Every green
thing would disappear as insects great
and small, flying, creeping, swimming,
boring and omnivorous, swept over the
land. The birds, and the birds alone,
are our guardians and keepers, and
yet we make senseless war upon them.
Because a few birds that guard our
peas and cherries take tribute of the
fruit they preserve we make senseless
war upon them until by sad experience
we are taught that it is a choice be-
tween plenty Of birds and fewer cher
ries, and without the birds no cherries
at all. The hawks and owls rid us Of
pestiferous vermin and now and then
take a chicken for tribute. Therefore
We make war upon hawks and owls.
and by and by we have no clover. be-
cause the mice have eaten the eggs Of
the bumblebee, and so the clover IS
not fertilized.-Christian Register.

Peter tn. Great and LAWYERS.

In Russia during the reign Of Peter
the Great private litigants might have
their suits prosecuted free of cost by

who contrived to delay trials until they
had sucked their clients dry, enacted
that sufficient solicitors and attorneys

In every matter of law. He ordered
further that these men should insert
in a register written up daily the dates
of applications to them and should pro-
coed with the suits in the order in
which they were received without re-
spect of persons. If they failed to do
so, If they accepted any bride or fee
or if they were dilatory these lawyers
were to be knouted and sent to Siberia.

SEARCH FOR A STOLEN
GREEK MARBLE HEAD
Supposed to Be Hidden In Railroad
Laborers' Camp.

Lincoln, Neb.-In a box car camp Of
Greek railroad laborers somewhere
along the line Of the Union Pacific rail-
road there is priceless marble head of
the Greek goddess of health, carved by
a Greek sculptor Of the fourth century
B. c., and stolen from the museum at
Tegea, Greece, where the balance of
the statue Of the goddess still stands.
The governors of Nebraska and Wy
oming have been asked to investigate
and see If they cannot locate the miss
ing head. The request comes from Sec
rotary of State Lansing and is made
at the request of the Greek govern
ment at Athens.
There are thousands Of Greek labor
ers on western railroads, and some
one Of these is thought to have stolen
the head Of the goddess before he left
Greece. The request from the state
department does not give the details
of the theft The head Is thirty cent?

scription inclosed in the request that
a search of the railroad camps be
made

do so would cut them off from the rest

social intercourse.

Salt.

SuperStitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind.
There is much evidence in holy writ
about the ceremonial uses of it, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifice of a meat offering shall be
seasoned with it. Homer calls it di-
vine, and many of the old Teuton races
looked on salt springs as holy and wor-
SHIPPED at them. The origin of this su-
perStitiOn seems to be that since salt
cannot corrupt it should be regarded as
a symbol of immortality.

Markets of Paris.

The first markets Of Paris were es-
tablished more than a thousand years
ago in the Isle de la Cite. The booths
were hereditary property, and their de-
scent was generally from mother to
daughter, who held them directly from
the monarch. During the stormy
times Of the revolution these market
women were conspicuous by their
qualities OF arm and tongue, both
grown strong by centuries Of sturdy
exercise. These characteristics, how
ever, do not appear in their successors,
who trust to their cleverness and CO
quettish charm to fight their battles.

To be able to make a rose cake was
an accomplishment coveted by little

was to spread layer of freshly gath

A layer Of brown sugar followed, then
another of petals, and so on until the
dish was full. Cinnamon or some 9TH

the dish was covered with a plate,
