Very few persons realize the varied
appIications of the prosaic steel or
iron pipe. 1t has been used for many
years as a conduit for water, sewage,
steam or gas, but at the present time

such varied products as agricultural
indictments, automobiles, architectur-

AS the variety of uses for tubular
products increased and the cost of max

generous share Of her good dinner.
Bread cast upon the waters" she
said smiIingly, "and the cranberries

ir his eyes as he looked through her
open doorway at the daintily set table,
and as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
ewes at the thought of having at least
shared some Of her Thanksgiving with
another.
As for the young man across the
hall. he did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner. The drift Of his
thinking was discernible afterward In

To Exnlore EarthIs Interior,

Our knowledge Of the earth from
actual contact is confined to thin
layer of only few hundred feet, and
what exists deeper down is a subject
for speculation. The idea Of exploring
further by a bore-hole some ten times
as deep as any yet attempted was
again brought up in the late presi-
Dental address Of Hon. Sir Charles
A. Parsons to the British association.
He proposed in 1904 the sinking OF
such a shaft to depth Of u miles,
and estimated that it would require
eighty-ffve years of time and cost $780,
O0O000--an outlay about equal to that
for one first-class battleship. Since
then Prof. T. D. Adams has concluded
that a depth of Is miles could be
reached in limestone before the rock
would give trouble by being crushed,
and in granite about 80 miles could be
reached. Such a shaft might throw
much light on the earth's internal con-
stitution-especially as related to very
heavy minerals. In Italy, bOre-holes
sunk to moderate depths in a volcan'
ic district discharge great volumes
of high pressure steam, and this is be
Ing utilized to generate about lO0U
horsepower by turbines.

rank even Christmas as a festival Of
joy, feasting and family reunion.
On becoming governor of New York
John Jay endeavOred to establish it
in that state as an annual institution,
but his political enemies branded his
proclamation as an attempt to stir up
religious prejudice In his favor and he
made no further attempts.
Governor Clinton, however, renewed
the effort and was successful, but New
Yorks Thanksgiving did not coincide
with New England's, which, until the
middle of the last century, occurred
week later than the Empire states.
Searching old newspaper files we learn
how Thanksgiving was celebrated in
these times. found the other day a
statement that in 1858 10000 people
after eating one Thanksgiving dinner
in New York city, had gone to their
early homes in New England TO enjoy
another, week later.
Thanksgiving soon became an an
nuaI. though local, institution in mos
of the western states, which had been
settled largely by New Workers ant
New Englanders, but the South was
tardy In adopting the idea.
Although Governor Johnson of Viz
ginia designated Thanksgiving day II
| 1858, his successor, Governor Wise
when requested to do so, publicly de
clined on the ground that he had NJ
authority to interfere in the religion
matters of the people.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Mrs
Hale was welding her facile pen In
jealous crusade to have Thanksgivin
day established as national festlVa
and observed upon a uniform dat
throughout the country For 20 year
J she persisted in this agitation, not onl
through the columns Of the two Mage
zines which she edited, but in letter
which she wrote to all the president
and governors.

dent of proclaiming the holiday on I'll
