1t would be Interesting to know how
certain places on the edge Of st. Louis
and franklin counties got their names,
such as st. Adams. Melrose, Chester
field, Manchester and so on, all good
old English names, while the majority
of the names on the letter boxes on

Wars That Made History.

The Civil war In America was fol-
lcwed-in 1S66-by the Prusso-Aus-
trian campaign in Bohemia. which may
be said to have lasted only seven
weeks, since Austria was completely
brought to terms by her first crushing
defeat at Koniggratz. The logical Sc
quel to the Prussian war of 1868 with
Austria was the German one Of 1870
with France, though, indeed, 1t may
be said to have been practically de-
cided In less than one month-at Sc
dan-the rest Of the time being but a
long-drawn-out agony of fighting des
pair on the part Of the vanquished.

Ben Franklin thought of saving
daylight long time ago. In the year
1884 he wrote from England to a
friend in America:
:, 'In walk through the Strand and
Fleet Street one morning at o'clock
! observed that there was not one
shop open. although 1t had been day
light and the sun up about three
hours: the inhabitants of London
choosing voluntarily to live by candle
light and sleep by sunshine; and yet
often complaining a little absurdly
Of the duty on candles and the high
price Of tallow."

Amusing Trick 10 Simple.

One Of the most amusing tricks IN
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick.
where little pellet when lighted turns
into q horrible snake, many. many
times the size Of the pellet. How
awe-inspiring It is to the youngster |
Most people have no idea what In the
world causes the snake to appear. The
explanation is simple. Mercury sui
pho-cyanid burns with a voluminous
ash. The little pellet Is nothing more
than some mercury sulpho-cyanid.
The heat causes the ash to move on
so quickly from the burning pellet that
1t writhes and distorts itself into the
shape of a miniature snake.

Share Of Fourth sLoan-How
Plans Are Made.

Plans Are Made.
The Philadelphia district Is planning
TO raise $500,OOO.0O0 in the Fourth

quota of the third loan. The city's
share of the district quota will be
$500 10000 figured on this basis. or
as much as the whole district aimed
at In the last loan.
In round figures, this total will give
Eastern Pennsylvania, outside OF
Philadelphia, quota of $20O,OODOOJ;
New Jersey, South Of Trenton, $780,
10000, and the entire state Of Della
ware, $15,OoO.OOO. These four sec
lions compose the Third Federal Re
serve District. The quotas are based
on the bank resources OF each Sec
ton, just as that of the whole district
70 bas<d on its banking resources.
The doubling of the amounts to be
raised means doubling the RESPONSE
bility Of each individual. the Liberty
Loan officials point out. This In turn
means doubling the efforts OF the
workers and Is an intsnsifieation Of
the campaign in every respect. With
each successive loan the organization
