Worlds TaIIest Chimney.

In many cities in various lands are
chimneys which have been proclaimed
as "the tailest in the world" but the
structure which without doubt truly
possesses this title has recently been
completed in SaganOseki, Japan.
1t is of re-enfOrced concrete and it
stands $40 feet high on a hill 43O feet
higher than the copper smelter with
which it is connected, so that it dis
charges its poisonous fumes 1000 feet
above the plant. The chimney is AZ
feet in diameter at the base and it's
inside diameter at the top is 26A feet.
The foundation is 90 feet in diane
ter and contains 2,700 cubic yards of
concrete. The first $50 feet of the
chimneys has a concrete lining sepa'
rated from the outer wall by five-inch
space. Four hundred tons of steel were
used in the whole cOnstructiOn.-POpu'

THEY NEVER KNEW LUXURIES
Shakespeare, Napoleon and Other Fa-
nous Persons Who Lacked Many
Things That We Enjoy.

Shakespeare never drank a cup of
tea, never tasted coffee, never slipped
a glass of cocoa, never ate a potato
and never smoked a cigar. Yet he
managed to lead a variegated life and
write plays that you still go to see.
Napoleon, who died 81 years ago,
never saw a steamboat nor a railroad
train, nor even a gas light, but he
ruled all Europe.
Lincoln never saw an electric light
nor talked through a telephone, but he
freed 100000 slaves.
I doubt if William Mckinley ever
rode in a motor car. Certainly .. S.
Grant never knew of the wireless.
They both rose to fame and went to
the White House.
The finest piece of known architec-
ture on earth was erected at Athens by
men who never saw newspaper.
st. Peters cathedral was the product
of Michael AngelO's brain, but he never
read a book that came from a printing
press or saw a mechanically typed
page.
Raphael painted his immortal Ma
donnas, but he never ate a corn muffin.
Cleopatra never wore a velvet gown,
and even if Helen of Troy was so beau
tiful that she caused a 10-year war,
she never owned a pair of leather
| shoes.
George Eliot never beheld a movie
| but she wrote "Adam Bede," which is q
somewhat more important thing tC
have done.
I presume that of all the women
who ever lived in the world not five
contributed more to the pleasur,
of a greater number of other wOmer
and men than the wife of a Chinese
emperor. FOrty-six centuries ago tina
empress discovered that a worm cOulC
make silk and she started the silk in
dustry for this entire world.-Girart

How Strangers Act in New York.

In an article by a great hotel man in
the American Magazine the writer
says:
'It has always been of interest to me
to see how differently people from 9th
er cities or countries act in New York
hotels and restaurants. When a West
erner or a Southerner sits down in
8 New York restaurant the first
thing he asks for is seafOOd. West
erners are wild about good oysters,
while the Southerner wants fresh
clans.
'"There is an interesting difference,
too, about the South Americans and
Westerners in New York. The West
ern man comes to the city eager for a
change in food, room, atmosphere, sur
rOundings and, in fact, everything.
'The South American Spaniard is
exactly the reverse. He wants his con-
ditiOns at home duplicated as nearly
as possible. And because this has
been impressed upon us, we have in
the hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys,
clerks, telegraph operators, walters,
and last but not least, Spanish cooks"

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

So far as known, only one small In
qect-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 II
and provides a caterpillar Stung to
death or to a condition of paralysis for
her baby to feed on when hatched. The
grub subsists upon this caterpillar un'
til it passes through the pupa stage
into the perfect-winged insect. Then IL
digs its way out of the tunnel and
begins its life above ground as wasp
But after the mother wasp has made
it's tunnel and deposited the egg, 1t
finishes its task by ramming down pei
let's 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 a quantity of fine grains of
dirt to the spot, and picked up a 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 a certain convenient stone on which
it will crack their shells by beating
them upon it. Some sea-birds carry
shell-ish 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 ore which records the seem
.ngly intelligent use of a tool to ac'
cOmplish a given purpOse.-PeOple's

AUSTRALIANS BIG SALT LAKE
1t Dries Up Entirely in Summer and
Is an Extremely Valuable Piece
of Property.

On York peninsula, in South Aus
tralia, is a wonderful lake of pure
salt. saws the Wide World. 1t is a
huge depression in the earth which
fills up in the winter months. In the
hot summer sun the water quickly
evapOrates, leaving a thick deposit of
almost pure salt. Seen from a dis
tance, the surface of the lake has all
the appearance of being covered with
a sheet of ice. The salt crust is so
thick and strong that men and even
carts and plOws can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is a considerable body of slug
gish water.
After the rays of the summer sun
have played their part, the salt is
gathered. 1t is just raked into heaps,
and these pyramids Of salt are a strik-
ing feature of the landscape. The salt
is now shOveled into carts and con-
veyed to various works on the sea-
board, to undergo the process of re-
fining.
Gathering the salt is trying work on
account OF the great heat and the daz-
zling reflection. Often it is necessary
for the men to wear cOlored glasses to
protect the eyes. After the loose salt
has been collected from the surface q
special kind of plOw is run over it
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped.
The yield of salt from this strange
year, and it is among the finest OBJ
tainable. The lake is Several square
miles in area and is naturally a yer!
valuable property.

GREAT CATHEDRAL OF LEON
One of Europe's Most Wonderful Ec-
cIesiasticaI Buildings Is in
Shabby Little Spanish Town.

Surrounded by its prosperous Wheat
fields, the shabby little town OF Leon
in northern Spain seems peacefully
Indifferent to its Out-at-elbOws appear
ance. and to the fact that its streets
are not enlivened by the hustle of
modern industry. A few mule carts
rattle recklessly over the roads, but
otherwise it might easily be Sunday
or a holiday and everyone away from
home.
The humble dwellings of the Leon
ese lie in the very shadow of one
of EurOpe'S most wonderful cathe-
drals, made possible by their ances-
tors generous gifts and wrought by
a master. The cathedral is the CEN
ter from which radiates the tran
guilty and harmony felt throughout
the town. It's spires and towers or
softly yellOwed stone rise in gracious
welcome above a mass of trees. A
multitude of windows give promise of
n bright, sunlit interior. Carved col
umns and figures frame the portals,
and quaint gargOyles glover from
hooks in the cOrnices, as if to ward
off all evil.
Inside the hall is vast and silent, light
ed by scores of stained glass windows.
The maker of the windows indulSed
his taste for bright and glowing color
to an extent that would have been
disastrous in a small church; but
through the sweeping length Of the
vaulted nave the colOrs blend and fall
in soft, rich shades. In this sanctu'
ary of light rests the king who first
planned the cathedral and made Leon
city of wealth and palaces. Since
his day the city has been destroyed
and plundered and rebuilt. 1t never
again reached its former greatness
but the kings cathedral rose from its
ashes, and stands now more beautiful
than the founder had planned.

Jerusalem and Music.

Once someone tried to sneer at Dis
raeli, the great English statesman, be-
cause he was a Jew.
'Yes, am a Jew" he replied, "and
my ancestors were making exquisite
music, four thousand strong, in the
Temple of Solomon, two thousand
years before Christ, while your an
cestors were running wild, naked saw
ages in the forest"
Which was perfectly true. In that
temple at Jerusalem, which was the joy
of the whole world, was made some
of the most wonderful music ever
heard on this earth.
In the Old Testament we read Of the
instruments they played, of how the
young children were trained to sing.
and of the wonderful ceremonies, as
wonderful and artistic as the carvings
and traceries which adorned the
temple itself.

I=nouah Said.

Alfred Francis, composer of ''The

"Why?"
"Well, my real name was SkoOpey-

Walnut for Gunstocks.

Some of the oldest walnut trees in
this country were originally planted,
not for the sake of the fruit, but be-
cause the wood makes the best gun
stocks, being light, strong and not cas-
