It's the thing which makes the lamb gambol with glee, the colts prance with joy, the calves throw up their tails and run like fury, the birds sing in split throat notes, the frogs croak upon the creek bank, the insects buzz and hum in the air, the milkman whistle as he jogs along, the blacksmith laughingly beat the iron into shape, the plowman urge his horses with "gee-up, there," the engineer wave kiss to his sweet heart as he throws open the throttle, the woodman smilingly plunge his axe into the giant tree, the banker and merchant rush to their work with a cheery "bye-bye," the mechanic and laborer fairly dance to their jobs, the soldier Ego over the top" with clinched jaws and courage that knows no fear, the live salesman hie to his calls with shoulders squared, pride in his heart, and nerves a-tingle with anticipation of new success.

Exploration of Nineveh.

The great rediscoverer of Nineveh was, of course, Sir Henry Layard, who, in the early forties of last cen tury, having obtained the patronage of Stratford Canning, British ambas- sador at Constantinople, himself an enthusiastic archeologist, journeyed to Mosul and commenced work of exca- vatiOn on the mounds of Nineveh in real earnest. The story of the won der series of discoveries which fol- lowed has been told wildly In his book, "Nineveh and Its Remains" pub lished in 1948. This work created 8 great sensation, and the following year Layard set out east once again, this time as the agent of the British mu- scum, with a grant of $15, 5,OOO to carry still further his great work at Mosul. For more than a year his labors went on steadily. The palaces of Sennach. crib and Ashurbanipal at Kuynjik were partly uncovered, as we'll us those of Sennacherib and Esarhaddon at Nebi-Yunus, and in 1853 LaSard published an account of his second series of excavations in lis book, "Nineveh and Babylon"

 Health conditions are manifest in church attendance as was to be ex- pected, and still there are empty pews. The sermon as to what it means to be good minister set forth plainly that Rev. MT.

Famous Old Town of Mosul.

The town of Mosul reached its greatest prosperity toward the begin- ming of the decline of the caliphate, when 1t was for a time an independent capital. In the eleventh century it be- longed to the Seljuks and in the twelfth, under the sway of the famous Atabegs. particularly of Zenki, 1t had a short period of splendor. One of its curious distinctions in history is the fact that the governorship of the town, as the pashalik, was long hered- itary in the originally Christian fam fly of Abd- -al-jalil, and 1t was only dur ing the nineteenth century that the porte succeeded, after a long and se- were contest, in establishing more centralized system of government.

KEEP GOAT IN BACK GARDEN
All Kinds of Reasons Why the Newly weds Should Give Some Con-
 sideration to the Animal.

The cartoonist, with whom the New | lyweds are a favorite if somewhat hackneyed subject, may sharpen a fresh pencil the day is coming, if not ] already here, when the joys and sor- rows Of young wedlock may be pie tured from a new angle. We are fa- miliar with the Newlyweds' bungalow, with their baby, with their Tin Lizzie, fruitful of mishaps; soon with these stock possessions may be listed anoth- er-to-wit, a goat.
 One may keep goat in the ordinary city or suburban back yard, Eleanor Anstruther writes in Sunset. No ex- tensive pasturage Is required as in the case of the COW. If vacant lot or brushy hillside be available, goat will thrive on what 1t can glean there, though COW, horse, or even a sheep might starve. But our suburbanite Newlyweds presumably must keep their goat within the confines of their own back garden. Very well; every one may still be happy, including the goat. For the goat will contentedly resolve into milk and mutton any kind of vegetable or green stuff that grows in the garden. Weeds enchant her {; she will eagerly devour, and with great profit to herself and owner, the results of strenuous mornings wedding on the part of Mir. Newlywed. By-prod- ucts of the kitchen, such as the par ings Of fruit and vegetables are wei come, though 1t must always be re- membered that contrary to general be- lief the goat Is clean feeder; the garbage must go to the chickens, not to the goat
 Briefly, single goat may almost be kept on the waste from a garden, and the feed of a COW will maintain seven or eight goats.

Owing to the large tourist business some of these resorts present all the advantages.

The use Of this process universally, 1t
Is believed, would do away with the per

Through pressure we could have q sweet

yantages.
As the juices Of sweet and ripe fruits
are 90 easily injured in the usual pro

has been given to perfecting this method
Of preservation. The work Of Professor

Just stop for a
minute and think
what the pressure
Of 100000 pounds to
the square inch
means. An ordinary
quart milk bottle
The Washington times., 1919-03-02


measures three and one-half inches across.
This gives, roughly speaking, ten square
inches Of surface. A pressure Of 100000
pounds to the square inch upon this sur
facs would be 100000 pounds. A very
large modern locomotive weighs 100000
pounds. The pressure that would kin all
the microbes In a quart Of milk would,
therefore, be equivalent to the weight Of
five great locomotives. OF course, q glass
bottle could not stand all this pressure,
and the method Of applying it is explained
later.
The experiments have so far been made
with laboratory equipment, but plans have
been sketched out for putting the method
in commercial use. In one experiment 9
coIlapsible block tin tube was filed with
fruit Juice, closed with metal screw cap
and placed in lead tube packing, which
was filed with water, closed with a lead
lid and placed in a heavy steel cylinder
between solid steel plugs.
The cylinder was placed between the
bed plate and the ram Of heavy hydraulic
press and the pressure applied to the lead
tube and its contents There is no trace
of leakage while the pressure is being ap-
piled, and the pressures obtsinable are
limited only by the strength Of the cylin-
der. On relieving the pressure the lead
packings, stretching back to their original
capacity, are often pulled in two. They
never regain their original shape, so can
be used but once.
For the most part the experiments
were done with cylinders seven inches
long, six inches outside diameter and
one and one-fourth inch bore. This is
a very convenient size, and If made of
good tool steel, properly tempered and
ground to fit the pistons, may be used
indefinitely for pressures up to 100000
pounds per square inch. With larger
cylinders pressures up to 100000
pounds per square inch can easily be
applied.
It was not possible until few years
ago to apply very high pressure to
liquids. Professor Hite states that II
was the equipment used in these ex-
periments that lrst made such q pro.
eedure possible. The lead tube pack.
ing around the compressed liquid is
mainly responsible for the very high
pressures that can be applied. The pres
sures attainable are limited only by the
strength Of the cylinder.
A more complicated apparatus was re
quired for the purpose Of steFilizing fruits
by pressure, and thus preserving them. Il
is much larger but less powerful than the
other. The apparatus for treating fruit on
this page marks the first step beyond the
laboratory stage, the first attempt to prO
duce q machine suitable for practical use
Professor Hite states that an equipment
could certainly be constructed fer general
use with powerful hydraulic pumps, hy
draulic intengiheFS and compression Cyl
inders. Ordnance engineers, accustomed
