NEW" WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Asphyxiating Bomb and Incendiary
Shell Outgrowth Of Missiles EN-
ployed Long Ago by Chinese.

Many of the new" weapons pro-
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the esphyxiating bomb is
an outgrowth of a missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead of
deadly chemicals, it contained some
substance that emitted q nauseous
odor, accompanied by sitting smoke.
Later this device appeared In Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name Of "stink-pot.'
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented a rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saracens, which
fired kind Of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side of building and set fire to it.
These balls were made Of petroleum
and inter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek fire.
The German device of throwing pc
troll upon an enemy by means of a
pump was used long ago, when an at
tacking ship often spouted flames at
the object of its assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted in the destruction
Of the vessel so attacked.

A Clever Burro.

A friend tells US the following about
Rowdy, a burro he bought as a foal
in Colorado and brought home to Mas
sachuSetts for his children: "ROwdy Is
now an aged pensioner, but he has
been as clever little pet and servant
as one could wish. His friendship for
the family cow has been one of the
distinguishing features Of his career.
They used to stand side by side in
the stable, and in the pasture would
actually play tag. The cow began
years ago with her rough tongue to
lick ROwdy's face. When he attempted
to reciprocate the courtesy, his smooth
tongue made no impression. This then
is what we have seen him do a hun
dred times: He would find small
stick, take 1t in his teeth, and scratch
the COW all about the eyes, and ears
and horns" Can anyone call this In
stinct? Was such an idea tucked away
in Rowdy's brain when he was born,
q part of his inheritance from genera
tons Of ancestral burros? That
would seem out of the question. We
are inclined to think that Rowdy
thought out the stick idea for himself.

OLD ALBUM FIRST ANTHOLOGY
Present-Day Passion for Gathering
Favorite Passages Of Prose and
Poetry More Than Fad.

1t is small wonder that the number
Of anthologies should be increased
with every season, since the passion
for making them, SO far from being
literary fad, has its roots at the very
heart of human nature. In one way
or another we are all collectors, and
the desire to group together in sim
gle volume our favorite passages of
poetry and prose is at least as old as
the Illuminated manuscripts Of the
mOnasteries.
Moreover, in the generation immedi-
ately preceding our own, this taste
was particularly luxuriant; and the
first anthologies Of the current fashion
may be found in those albums of our
grandmothers, Of which every family
preserves few, where the melodies
Of Moore and the lyrical fervors of
Mrs. Hemans are engrossed in the
neatest and most angular Of calig-
raphy. And nowadays, when every
thing that is written and collected
seems to find it's way into print sooner
or later, nothing is more natural than
that every man or woman of letters
should be represented by his own par

WHY "RED" is NOT SURNAME
Not Used Like Black, White and
Brown, Because 1t Is Modiflca.
ton of the Original Word.

Black, white and brown are common
surnames in English, but there is no
English family called Red. The for
mer names were given originally be-
cause of the complexion Of the persons
who received them. 1t seems strange
that In people among whom red
heads were common none should have
acquired the name "Red," especially
as this is frequently bestowed as a
nickname.
The Century Dictionary explains this
as follows:
"Red, like lead Qed), with which it
is phonetically parallel, had in Middle
English long vowel, which has be-
come shortened. The long vowel re-
mains, however, in the surnames Read,
Reade, Reed, Reid, which represent
old forms Of the adjective, and the ex-
istence of which as surnames explains
the almost total absence Of the expect
ed surname, Red, parallel to Black,
Brown, White, ETC."
The equivalent of "red" in foreign
languages Is just as common q sur
name as are the equivalents Of "black,"
white" and BROWN" for the reason
that In them there has been no modi-
f1cation Of the original word. In French
we find 'Lenoir, Leblanc, Lebrun and
Leroux; in German, Schwartz, Weiss,
Braun and Roth in Italian, Nerf, Bian-
chi, Bruni and Rossi in Spanish, Ne
pr0 R1ancO MoroDn and ROiO as the
corresponding surnames.

SQUADS RAISED FOR MARKET
Birds Should Be Graded According to
Size and Quality-Pack in Cracked
Ice, Breasts Up.

Squads should be graded according
to size and quality, as dark-colored
and small squads tend to lower the
price paid for an entire shipment of
mixed squads. They are usually
packed for shipment in a good supply
of cracked ice, breasts up, with par
ATTN paper between each layer Of ice
and squads. Some express companies
have a special rate for SQUAD ship
ments, which should be secured wher-
ever possible. The express charges on
small shipments Of squads reduce the
profit materially, making it difficult to
sell the squads from a small flock at
a profit If they have to be shipped to
commission men. AS the period at
which squad Is right for market Is
not over one week, 1t is necessary to
have good-sized flock to have over
one dozen squads ready for market at
The Watertown news. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1917-1919, 1917-06-25

one time. A local market which will
take any number Of squads is great
aid to the small producer. Where one
has small flock 1t usually pays best
to build it up until it is large enough
to make good-sized shipments Of
squads. This, however, requires con-
slant outlay without any return, for
some time.
The production of squads from each
pair of breeders varies from one or
two to as high as ten or eleven pairs a
year, but an average Of from six to
seven pairs is fair estimate, although
some squad breeders do better than
this. Squads usually sell at the high
est prices during cold weather, as
pigeons do not breed as freely during
the winter as during the spring.

BASEBALL EXTRA!

The fast Wilcox Trux team, of
Minneapolis. will cross bats with
the NJ. S. P.s next Saturday Aug
ust 18th. The Wilcox Trux are
the champions of their division of
the Commercial League and have
not lost game this season. They
have reputation for hard hitting
and carry number of good pitch
ers on their roster. 1t is needless
to say that Manager Rutherford
will put the strongest lineup
possible against the amateur cham
pions. This team beat the NJ. S.
P.s last year, but the latter are out
for revenge this time and a hotly
contested game is looked for.
Superintendent E. G. Williams has
consented to act as umpire on this
occasion.
