That Old Sea Serpent.

Major o. Smith, an officer Of the
Swedish army, describes In Nature q
sea serpent which he saw some time
ago in the Baltic sea, near Stockholm.
"At 2:25 p. m.," he writes, I'VE sud-
denly saw a movement Of the water
like the ripple Of a ave less than 300
feet from us. The sea was calm and
there was no boat OF anything els
that could cause such a movement
Looking more attentively, all Of US
saw very distinctly a head like that Of
an enormous serpent, larger than that
of a man, slightly elongated, sur
mounting a %serpentine body about sew
enty-flvc feet long. The creature was
undulating, making at least ten dis
tinct curves. and n large part OF its
posterlor region was above the water.
We watched this strange creature for
more than Il minute swimming at a
speed of about two Knots. | have

Surprises In War.

In warfare the elements of surprise
counts for a very great deal.
Troy would not have been captured
by the Greeks had 1t not been for the
surprise sprung upon the Trojans by
the gigantic wooden horse In which
Greek soldiers concealed themselves,
stealing out In the nighttime to open
the gates of the city to the Greek army.
Pyrrhus would never have gained his
victory Over the Romans had he not
brought his elephants into the field.
These gigantic creatures as they plow-
ed their way through the Roman ranks
struck terror into the hearts of the SOL
diers who had never before engaged in
a battle in which elephants took part.
Hannibal, the great Carthaginian gen
eral, would never have captured one
of the chief Alpine passes had he not
hit on the happy idea of fastening
torches to the horns of 1000 oxen,
lighting the torches when it got dark
md driving the beasts toward the Ro-
man camp. Seeing the moving lights,
the company guarding the pass thought
their comrades were In danger and
FASTENED TO their rescue, thus leaving
the way clear for Hannibal and his
men TO get acknowledgements.

Wood Pulp 10 the Basis of Most Of the
Modern Product.

Two thousand years ago paper was
made by hand in little cradles. The
word paper is derived from papyrus, a
plant from the leaves of which a pulp
was made by pounding and macerat-
ing In water. Nowadays. Of course,
improved machinery is used to make
paper. and In this one item of manu-
facture America leads the world.
Writing paper is made mostly from
rags. but for practically all other
grades wood pulp is the basis. The
wood used is spruce or poplar or hem
lock. Poplar is used for fine book pa
pers and spruce pulp goes into news
paper, wall paper and bag paper.
The fine wood pulp must. of course,
be treated with a preparation contain

WEATHER AND APPETITE.
People Eat More on Stormy Days Than
They Do on Fine Days.

Watch what you eat the next time it
rains or SHOWS. Perhaps you think
the weather takes away your appetite.
The American Magazine explains what
weather does TO the restaurant bust;
ness. The writer says:
"A study of weather and business
has its surprises. For instance, res
taurant men know that appetites are
not the same on a dark. gloomy day as
on a day that Is bright and cheerful
Natural enough. The surprising fact
Ia that people eat most OF the day that
Ii dark and dismal.
"On a cloudy day. an old restau-
rant man tells me. people Just sit and
eat. There Is nothing else to do. On
. nice day they eat less and hasten
out into the open. But the less they
eat the more particular they are about
the quality
Not so long ago a young woman
opened a good little restaurant near
the department Of agriculture In
Washington. Most Of her customers
are employees of that department. She
does a big business every day. but the
rush Is greatest when the day is the
stormiest On a fine day the men from
nearby buildings walk to restaurants
farther away. just for the exercise.
Those who do not go TO other restau.
ant cut down their eating in order to
spend all the time possible in the open
