TOOK LIBERTY WITH FACTS
Author Of "The Luck Of Eden Hal"
Admitted That He Drew on
His Imagination.

The author of the poem, "The Luck
of Eden Hail." WAS Johann Ludwig
INLAND, German poet OF the first
half of the nineteenth century. who
first put that romantic legend into
verse and later II was dressed in Eng
lish rhyme by Longfellow. As the
story goes. the young lord OF the
manor during night of drunken rev.
elry, demanded the drinking glass
called "the luck of Eden Hall" The
butler heard the words with pain"
but brought the goblet which the tipsy
nobleman smashed. Instantly flames
cracked the ceiling and the persons
surrounding the fcStal board became
dust. The straightforward American
poet explains at the heading of his
translation that In spite of the tragic
ending of the poem the glass is still in
existence, and so II Is today. IL Is six
ipcheS high, of pale green glass, eX-
quisitely enHmelcd in blue and white
Practical folk say that II probably
came originally from Spain. where 1t
was used as chalice in communion
service. but the original story goes
that ii was left AT ST. Cuthberts well
by company of fairies.

improved Oil-Burner.

A new oil-burner for the kitchen
stove, announced from Cairo, Egypt, Is
attachable by special fange TO the
crate door, and II neither requires
alteration of the solid fuel stove nor
prevents the use of solid fuel The
nozzle projects about an inch into the
crate, the oil tank being mounted on
suitable rack outside the stove. A
small fire heats the fuel oil to about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, and as the OF

MAKE TROUBLE FOR DENTIST
Successful Treatment Of Wisdom
Teeth Always Is More or Less
Of Problem.

Wisdom teeth, especially lower ones,
are much more difficult to handle than
any of the others in the mouth. When
their nerve dies or has to be killed
by the dentist he cannot be sure for
some time that 1t is really dead The
reason Is that the roots Of a wisdom
tooth are twisted or curved in such a
manner that the root canal cannot be
explored.
The upper wisdom teeth have three
roots, frequently fused together,
forming n grooved cone, which Is usu-
ally curved backward" says Grays an
atomy. "The roots of the lower, two
In number, are compressed together
and curve backward"
1t is this backward curving of the
compressed roots that gives trouble to
the dentist. Often the canal that
runs through each root is so narrow
md so curved that the finest of the
brooches" used to draw out the dead
nerve will not penetrate, and some
times when ii has penetrated 1t will
not come out.
When this happens there is only one
thing to do-leave the brooch and an
ply iodine. which will very soon eat
away the steel Of which the brooch is
made.
