MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Lslpxiq Tavern in Which Poet Located Scene in Faust" Was We'll
 Known Gathering Place.

Auerbach's cellar was a tavern at Leipzig which disappeared in 1912. It owed its chief fame to Goethe, who In his place located the scene in Faust" wherein Mephistopheles, standing up on a wine cask, takes his flight into pace with Doctor Faust, to the stupe- hction of the guests drinking at the hbles, The old building to which the cellar belonged was built by Doctor stromer d'Auerhach at about 1929, the worthy doctor there storing the wine Intended for his own use. Later, as the wine was good. he conceived the hea of selling 1t. In this way was es- nbnShed the tavern to which his name has been attached ever since. From the earliest years of the seven eenth century legend has placed in mls cellar the famous adventure of faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe studying at Leipzig university from ii6o to l16S. frequented that cellar al most nightly and there talked with ms friends of art, literature and pol iucs, and thus he heard of that le send which he turned to such excellent account, at the same time so very greatly enriching the literature of hls country.

Dead Murderer's Hand.

The most ghastly of all talismans or charms was the Dead Mans Can dle,". or sHand of Glery.p Sir Wal ter Scott, in "The .Antiquary," de- seribes 1t, in the mouth of Douster- swivel, as hand cut off man hang ed for murder. It was dried, he says, in the smoke of juniper and yew. A candle made of the fat of the bear, the badger, and little sucking child" having been put into the hand at the proper planetary time, treasure buried then would never be discovered by any but the true owner. Scott, however, was inaccurate. The proper recipe Is to be found in Les Secrets du Petit Albert" The hand (which had to be the right hand of a murderer hung in chains) was blanched In the sun with mystical ceremonies. The candle was composed mainly of the fat of mur- derer scooped from under the wayside gibbet, the wick being made of the twisted hair of the criminal. The light of the horrible candle was alleged to have the effect of preventing those who saw it from moving or calling out, and he who held 1t could ransack with impunity.

DON'T WASTE GAS
MOTHER EARTH QUIT MAKING IT
MANY YEARS AGO.

Columbus, Feb. PA strange sit.
uation has developed In the natural
gas industry in this state. A situA.
ton that is exceedingly serious.
There are several natural gas COM
panies in Ohio that today can only
furnish 60 per cent Of the amount Of
gas calculated upon when their fran.
chise was secured. Inasmuch as most
rates under franchise limitations weSe
liked on basis Of quantity Of con.
sumption. it follows that decrease Of
40 per cent In the amount of produc.
ton available means a corresponding
cut in calculated profits. Natural gas
at 80 or 40 cents as compared with
artificial gas at $1.25 gives an idea OF
the average difference in the cost OF
production. Natural gas is twice as
hot as the artificial kind.
Just what the gas using communl.
ties are going to discover as a remedy
tor the condition which is now here
and getting worse is a great problem
IA NDT WASTE THE GAS.
