SOLDIERS SEE GIANT CLOCK
Massive Timeplece In House OF Com
mons Tower, Regarded as One OF
Worlds Best Timekeepers.

Fifty disabled soldiers, many OF
whom had lost a leg in the war and
wore an artificial one In its place,
climbed the 800 steps of the House
Of Commons tower in London to study
the mechanism Of big Ben," the
giant timepiece. The soldiers. are being
trained by the ministry of labor In
watch and clock repairing.
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim
horp. and was placed in the tower.
In 1895. II has been working ever
since. and is still regarded as one OF
rhe best timekeepcrs in the world. The
minute hand is II feet long and
Weighs 224 pounds. and the pendu-
'um. which requires two seconds to
complete each swing, weighs 7OO
pounds. The bell which sounds the
hours has diameter Of nine feet,
and weighs IA tons, the weight Of the
striking hammer being 1855 pounds.
An electric motor now winds the clock
in 20 minutes. Formerly it took two
men working three afternoons a week
to complete the task.

rLOtBERG NOT kN ICEBERG
Former Yellow and Dirty in Color;
Latter Ordinarily Brilliant
White With Streaks.

While floebergs often are of great
size, they are much different from
lcebergs, Rene Bache writes In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. They are
yellow and dirty-looking in color,
while icebergs are ordinarily a bril-
dant white, with ultramarine streaks.
The streaks are pure ice. while the
white parts are largely solldlfied~snow.

along the coast of Labrador, where
ice is blown Shoreward and piled up.

Some AirpIane Gas Is Pink.

There is difference between auto
mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline.
For aircraft the gas must be lighter
and more volatile, that is, evaporate
more readily, than ordinary gas. This
causes 1t to work better at great aitt-
tudes. There are three grades Of gas
oline for our airplanes, one for train
ing planes. better grade of gasoline
for bombing planes and the very, best
grade for the fighting planes. Eight
ing gas" as it is called, Is colored
pink. This is to distinguish 1t from
other grades so that inexperienced
men working at The aviation fields
will not use this valuable gasoline for
other purposes. This pink gas is as
pure as it can he produced, refined
and tloubly refined and strained or
Uttered until there are no impurities
left in it.-American Boy.

REMEDIES OF THE DAYS PAST
Plants, Berries, Weeds and Roots
Among Ancient Remedies Used
fer Cure of Ailments.

Quaint malady remedies Of the past,
many Of which led to wealth on the
part of the inventors, were nearly all
made Of berry plants and many or
common weeds. Pokeberries, years
ago. were used to make plaster for
a cancer. and grapevine sap was pre-
pared for hair tonics. To produce a
sweat. tea was made from magnolia
leaves and the berry Of this plant was
often mentioned as a cure for con-
sumption.
For toothache, the veteran prac-
titioner used the bayberry root. Ber-
ries of the cedar tree were supposed
TO stiffen the spine, and purge was
made of alder buds or of elderberries.
The goldenrod, the MULLEN plant, the
burdock, and common weeds were also
held forth as cures for various all
mentS.
''Tuscarora RICE" invented by Phil
adelphfa woman, and held forth as q
cure for tuberculosis, enabled the prac-
titioner to- secure q fortune for her

NAPLES FOR VIMY RIDGE
Canadians Begin Planting OF What ls
to Be Memorial Forest on
Battlefield.

An overseas dispatch says 200 youns
naples have been planted on the des.
ert of what was Vimy Ridge. This is
the beginning of the proposed Cana
dian memorial forest-the maple "
Canada's emblematic tree-and the
Saplngs just placed are declared to
be the only living trees in the war zone
today. --
How the landscape has been
changed and how the reconstructed
one WILL differ from that before the
war! Most Americans think of Hol-
and. Belgium. Flinders as painted hy
Van Goycn. RuyySda"!, Rembrandt
and o.lI.rS. InStinctively the mental
1icture follows Hobbema's avenue OF
,IitdleharnIs." with sp!ndling, thin
. banked, wisp-topped and scant-on-
}lride trees either side the road. What
different aspect naples would give
the scene, or oaks. or clms or other
w:dc-spreading varieties. The Euro
pean. like the oriental, seems to have
chosen his favorite trees on some
r.her basis than expansive foliage
rh" cedar. the cypress. the palm. the
Stonep:Ee, the poplar Of Lombardy;
vet the inspiration for Gothic cathe-
drals came from the solemn groves OF
archlke trunks and limbs and TO-
l!age, and wherever two elms meet
there is the suggestion right at hand.
Many years must elapSe before the
war-torn regions arc again venerable
with trees, and by that time new
school of landscape painting may have
come, glad to paint full, rounded trees
like the American, Inness; or. reverS-
ing the .Inness method, Of leaving
circular opening through his trees TO
reveal the scene beyond, this future
school may feature the transp'anted
naples rounded "area" in the fore

admiration, and on looking little

which the shopkeeper had just hung
up In the window and which was
novelty to the Bcrliners, who for near
iy five years have seen not "a trace
of this fruit, once so plentiful and
cheap in the capital.
The smiling faces and little jokes
made it quite evident that the banana
was recognized as a symbol of peace,
and that the delight felt at its
presence was due to the evidence 1t
afforded that the blockade Is q
thing of the past.

MAHUA TREE GROWS ALCOHOL.
Blossom Produced, When Sun; Dried,
Contains so Per Cent of Its Weight
In Fermehtable Sugar.

Alcohol In these days has attention
from government In diverse ways.
England has had a committee studying
the possibilities of Increasing the pro-
ductlon of alcohol to be used in gen.
Grating power.
The opportunities discussed by the
committee are interesting. OF course,
potatoes, artichokes and cereals came
in for attention. But 1t seems there
are less known sources of alcohol. For
example. there Is the flower OF the
nIal,m tree. which fourishes in Hyder-
abad and the central part of India
This flower, when sun dried, contains
60 per cent OF its weight In ferment'
able sugar, and apparently Is to be
gathered by the ton. Then there are
the fertile gases of the coke ovens,

For firc-resist:ng construction. the
recommendation of the American Con-
crete institute specify that limestone.
trap-rock and burned clay be given
preference over highly siliceous
gravels. which disIntegrate under in
tense heat. When gravel is used. with
ont protective coating. columns
should be made round instead of rec
.tangular. When gravel. with spiral
reinforcement, is used for either round
or rectangular columns. 1t Is. suggested
that additional protection be given by.

PITCAIRN ISLAND is LONELY
Natives Occupying Spot, Peop!ed by
About 15o Have Desenerated
Through Intermarriagc.

Home is where the heart Is. but the
heart picks out some most unusual
locations at times. Rather near. as
Pacific ocean distances go. to the So
ciety islands. is Pitcairn island. 1t Is
certainly q lonesome spot. says the
New York Sun. and as far back as
1856 the British authorities decided
that it was no fit place for human
habitatiOn. So. the descendants of the
mutineers of the Bounty who had
settled there in .1700 were transferred
that year to the more inviting Norfolk
island. Several families. however,
were so homesick that they went back
to Pitcairn.
The population from these few fari-
lilies has now increased until about 1hO
people are on the island. Through in
terinarriage and other evils Of iSnla'
tion these Islanders have degeneratcd
and their retrogression undoubtedly
will end in their determination.
