Worlds Ta!Icst Chimney.

In many cities in various lands are
chimneys which have been proclaimed
as ''the tallest in the world" but the
structure which without doubt truly
possesses this title has recently been
completed in Saganoseki, Japan.
1t is of REINFORCED concrete and it
stands $40 feet high on q hill 430 feet
higher than the copper smelter with
which 1t is connected, so that it dis
charges its poisonous fumes 1000 feet
above the plant. The chimney is ~
feet in diameter at the base and it's
inside diameter at the top is 2614 feet.
The foundation is 95 feet in dame
ter and contains 300 cubic yards of
concrete. The first 80 feet of the
chimneys has concrete lining sepa-
rated from the outer wall by five-inch
space. Four hundred tons of steel were
used in the whole construction.-Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine.

WASP MAKES USE OF. TOOLS
Insect Of the Sphex Family That lamps
Its Nest Shut With Stone
Hammer. EE

SO far as known, only one small in.
sect-a wasp of the Sphex family
among the millions of creatures be-
longing to lower order than man, has
ever employed the aid of tool to ac-
complish desired result. The moth
er wasp of this family digs a tunnel
In the ground, deposits her egg in it
ana provides a caterpillar stung to
death or to a condition of paralysis for
her baby to feed on when Matched. The
grub subsists upon this caterpillar I'M
til 1t passes through the pupa stage
into the perfect-winged insect. Then it
digs its way out of the tunnel and
begins its life above ground as a wasp.
But after the mother wasp has made
its tunnel and deposited the egg, it
finishes its task by ramming down pei
lets of earth, little stones, ETC., into
the mouth of the tunnel. This is the
race habit of these wasps. 1t is re-
corded on undoubted authority, that
one inventive mother, when the mouth
of the tunnel was covered to a level
with the rest of the ground about it,
brought quantity of fine grains of
dirt to the spot, and picked up small
pebble in her mandibles, used it as a
hammer in pounding them down with
rapid strokes, thus making the spot as
firm and as hard as the surrounding
surface. Then she departed, brought
more dirt. picked up the pebble again
and used it as a hammer, as before.
/ The English thrush brings its snails
| to certain convenient stone on which
it will crack their shells by beating
them upon it. Some sea-birds carry
shell-fish to a height and drop them
on the rock TO break their shells; but
this brings only the anvil into use, not
the hammer. The case of the wasp is
the only one which records the seem
ingly intelligent use of a tool to &C
complish a given purpose.-People's
Home Journal.

Germans facing us were certainly poor
firemen. Once in while they will
throw over a few shells with trench
mortar; at those times we would hug
the bottom of the deepest trench we
could find until they were tired. They
tried gas a couple of times, but we
were too quick for them with our gas
masks
Our last trip up front confirms a
statement I made before, that there
is very little danger as long as the
officers and men take all precautions
and keep their heads The 104th was
caught mapping. We not only did our
hitch in the trenches, but we had to
finish the 104th s for them. They were
surely scared lot after that scrap.
One night, we heard that the Ger
mans were going to make raid on us;
so we prepared to give them the time
of their lives. We lined the trench
! with grenades and guns and each man
was almost praying that they, the Huns,
would start something, but we were
surely disappointed as nothing hap
pened while we were there.
Well, here s hoping for better luck
next time. / am pretty dull today so
will close. With love,
EVERETT.

Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Gili- ad, Ohio: The editor had an in- teresting experience some time ago, when a young gentleman came to this office and asked for a copy of the Morrow County Re publican. He scrutinized 1t care fully when a cody was handed him, and then said: "NOw l know!" What is it you are look ing for" we inquired. My wife sent me after a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, and l forgot the name. 1 went to sev- eral stores and the clerks named over everything in the line on the shelf except 'Chamberlain's.' I'll try again, and I'll never go home without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" The Republican would suggest to the proprietors of stores, that they post their clerks, and never let substitute. Gus toners lose faith in stores where substituting is permitted, to say nothing of the injustice to makers of good goods and the disappoint- ment of customers. Adv.
