Not Hard Trick to Teach.

It appears rather wonderful to see
q dog shut the door at a word of COM
mand but it is quite simple trick. 1t
works best with a rather large dog.
Go to a door that swings easily and
set it about six inches open. Then bal
ance a biscuit on the handle and draw
the dogs attention to 1t, saying, "Shut
the door" He will naturally jump
against the door to get the biscuit, and
his weight will shut it. Then praise
him for 1t. BY doing this several times
q day he will gradually get to associate
the action with the words "Shut the
door," and will do the trick when told,
even though there is no biscuit in evil
dence.

Old Idea Of Gulf Stream,
Once Taught in Schools,
Changed by Later Study

1t is only by speaking loosely that
The shippers of several incoming ships
can say, rs reported that the presence
of many sharks along the coast was
due To a shifting of The Gulf stream.
What they mean was that the northeast
drift of warm water is greater than
usual, broader, perhaps, or closer in
shore, or possibly Il degree or two high
er in temperature than is customary at
This time in this latitude, says the New
York Sun.
The Gulf stream us distinct cur
rent cannot BE identified north of the
thirty-second parallel of latitude, which
it crosses between the Bermudas and
the Carolina coast. There it divides
into small streams. The westerly winds
blow upon ii and break up its surface.
Its warm waters become mixed with
the colder ocean and it becomes an ele-
ment of the northeast. At the same
time the warm currents are recogniZa-
BILE as far north as 40 degrees latitude,
Il trifle south of New York beyond 40
degrees north and 60 degrees west
longitude no test of temperature, salt
ness, color or motion serves to distin-
guish them from the rest of the ocean
drift.
Who does not remember having ii
impressed on him in his schooldays
that the ministrations of the gulf
stream alone made habitable the Brit
ish Isles? 1t is not true, as patient
study has shown. The southwest
winds bring moisture from the ocean
to Europe, and this great blanket of
moist air contains much more latent
heat than dry air at the same temper
allure. From the moist air come
clouds, fogs and rain which condense
heat and water upon the Old World
and prevent the loss of ground heat
by radiation. That is why there is
such a striking difference in temper
atures upon single line of latitude
cutting the two continents.
While the warm water flows north
east from the Mexican gulf the cold
water on the north is finding its way
southwesterly, deeper down. When
the cold current strikes the tropical
zone it becomes heated and rises to
flow northeast again. The Gulf of
Mexico is like the coil of pipe in n
gas water heater; it supplies intense
heat in a small area and adequately
tempers half the seas.

Helping the MIDGET.

Mickey O'Doolan was noble-minded
lad, full of sympathy for the poor,
always ready to succor the oppressed,
keen to right the wrongs of the world.
One day. passing a stonemason's yard
he saw two men saving through a
huge block of stone with one of those
large, double-handled saws. One of
them was six-foot-two, the other a
little chap of four-foot-one.
Leaning against the wall, Mickey
watched them swaying back and forth
for few minutes; then he rushed for
ward and dealt the tall man a blow
on the side of the head knocking him
senseless.
"Now," he exclaimed, as he stood
over the PROSTATE FORM "now will yez
let the little chap have it, yez dirty,
hulking bully?"-Pittsburgh Chronicle

Erzerum.

Erzerum, which has suddenly sprung
into the notice and interest of the
world during the progress of the pres
ent Russian campaign in the East, says
the Manchester Guardian, has been
identified with the Byzantine Theodosi-
opolis, which was fortified outpost of
the Grecian empire. 1t fell to the Sell
juks in the year 1901, and just three
centuries later passed to the Turks. 1t
had already on two occasions been in
possession of the Russians-in 1929,
when it was captured and held until
the peace of Adrianople of that year,
and in 1878, when it was restored to
the Turks after the treaty of Berlin.
The normal population of Erzerum
amounts to about $4,000, ten or
twelve thousand of whom are
Armenians and 1000 Persians. It's
public buildings, with the possible
exception of one, which dates back

Hints for Campers.


Two items set forth in the bulletin
of the California state board of
health upset some traditions which
have been maintained by campers and
trapperS from time immemorial. There
is widespread belief that rapid streams
purify themselves and that lemon juice
in water has sterilizing effect.
Neither is true.
Lemon juice is not an antiseptic I'm
Tess lemonade is made of pure water,
she danger of infection is just as great
as though no lemon juice and sugar
are added.
AS to the publication of running
streams, a swift flow over stones has
always been considered an advantage.
Some professional campers even go so
far as to state exactly the number of
stones needed to purify the stream. A
delusion. The principal purifying
agents are sunlight, sedimentation, and
the action of certain minute organ
isms.
The safest and best method of op-
Grafton for automobilists or trampers
in strange country is to carry jugs of
drinking water, ignoring wayside
streams, no matter how tempting they
may look.

Younger Brother Held Down
BY Attitude of His Elders

If younger brother ever amounts
to anything it is in spite of his older
brothers. The treatment he receives
at their hands while he is young
makes it almost impossible for him to
meet and talk to people when he is
grown. They find fault with every
thing he does, and bring their COM
bined influence to bear in an effort
to get him to run away from home.
The result is that he keeps out of
their presence, and since they are so
down on him he presumes that other
people are also down on him, says a
writer.
He gets to looking and acting like
homeless hound that is hated by
everybody in the neighborhood. The
poor hound has had so many rocks
thrown at him by men, women and
children that he has quit looking for
a friend. When he sees anyone COM
ing he goes off at full speed, and gives
q yelp, as If he had already been hit.
When the younger brother sees one or
more of his older brothers he turns
off and goes in another direction.
The oldest boy in the family de-
serves little credit even II he wins
wealth and fame but II the younger
brother ever reaches the point where
he can earn n dollar day, he should
be crowned with bays.

Photographs Eruption on Sun.

Astronomer Evershed at Svinagar,
Kashmir, has photographed an erup-
tive prominence of exceptional alti-
tude on the disk of the sun. The pho
tographs were obtained at intervals
from near the beginning of the out
burst until the final fragments had
risen to height of Il little more than
a semidiameter from the suns limb.
The velocity away from the sun was
100 kilometers per second and faint
extensions could be traced Mt Is min
utes from the limb representing a
height of close upon Il half million
miles. Astronomers say this would
appear to be the highest prominence
which has yet been recorded as APP

Cubic Stone,

To keep in touch with the news OF
the world, which is now bringing forth
a strange array of words from all the
corners of the earth, one must needs
have the knowledge of Mezzofanti or
be the possessor of Il polyglot diction-
airy. The war between the Turks and
Arabians has released number of
words, some of which, like the Ara
bian terms "alkali," algebra las
trology,' etc, may in time be adopted
into our language. Here is the Arabic
word "kaab," the cubic stone;" this
is the stone which, according to Mo-
hammedan tradition, was brought by
Adam from Paradise and became black
through the sins of men, The stone is
at Medina. 1t is covered by veil,
which is raised by the pilgrims who
come from great distances to kiss it.
IT has been called, irreyerently, the
barney stone of Mohammed. At the
side of the tomb of Mohammed is a
tomb awaiting Jesus, whom the Mus
sulmans regard as one of their proph-
indianapolis News.
