ARE KEPT CLEAN BY TRAFFIC
Why Busy Rails Don't Rust Is Made
Plain by the Observation Of
Simple Facts.

1t has often been observed that the
reils on the main track Of railway
are not so liable to- rust as those of
sidings. The railroads on the main
line keep bright while those on the
sidings are soon badly corroded. At
tention to this fact was drawn by
George Stephenson as far back as
1s43. 1t has Teen suggested that free
dom from rust on the part of the main
track rails was due to some galvanic
action which was intensified by the
vibration of the rails in use. However,
one would naturally expect that the
vibration would increase rather than
decrease the oxidation. The true ex-
PLANTATION Is probably that the rail-
head is kept clean by the traffic and
Ia kept hard by the hammering Of the
rail while the wheels pass over It.;
also that certain amount of oil is
scattered on the rail from the wheels,
all of which assist In preventing oxi-
dalton. Rust forming on the siding
would collect and hold moisture, caus-
ing further rust. A paper on this SUBJ
ject was presented before the Ameri-
can Electric Chemical Society by
Oliver p. Watts.-Scientific American.

Why Animals Submit to Men.

According to bulletin of the Lithu.
anian national council, the Lithuanian
lives in square contradiction to Maeter
linck's famous dictum about animals
In his eloquent argument for the dog.
The Belgian mystic holds that the
horse submits to the rule of a man
through fear, the cat tolerates man
because not strong enough to get rid
Of him, while the dog, possessing a
genuine affection, is the one real
friend of man among the so called
"dumb" animals. Lithuanians are fond
of animals, but 1t Is the horse above
all others that is the object of their
tenderness. Some observers insist that
this preference for the horse must Ger.

Lithuanian children of both sexes
Many persons declare that single
glance suffices to tell whether horse

anians. Lithuanian horses are not only
the working implements, but the
friends of the owner. They give the
impression Of having learned to suffer
and to rejoice with him. No Lithuanian
In the full possession of his mind and
senses would dream of abusing his
animal.

Those who contend that snails
are without sense may be referred to
the experiment Of lady who proved
otherwise First she touched the
mouth of water snail with a little
piece Of lettuce, producing as result
a number Of rapid mouth movements.
At a later stage, as she was doing
this, she also touched its foot or creep
ing sole with glass rod. Finally,
she so accustomed the snail to asso-
eiate the touch of the glass rod with
the coming Of food that Its mouth
would begin to move hungrily at the
pressure Of the rod on Its foot, even
when no food was offered.
The effect of the training, we are
told, lasted for SO hours after 1t had
ceased. Then, like human being
might, the snail began to sulk, and re-
sponded no further.

Various nerves In the tongue com
municate with main nerve, which
acts as a kind of telephone exchange
to ring up the brain. The taste nerves
for the tongue concentrate In the ear
drum nerve. If this nerve Is injured
the sense Of taste becomes dulled, and
1t Is well known that deaf persons lose
the finer perceptions of taste.
When the drum of the ear IL stimu-
lated mechanically. chemically or cleo
tricalIy ut the point where the nerves
meet taste sensations are aroused.
Sweet bittsr and sour fiavors may be
detected; but, strange to say, salt
tastes have never been observed by
the direct action Of the ear. Many
sensations we call tastes are merely
odors. Pinch your nose and shut your
eyes and you will be unable to distin-
suish between an apple and an onion.

NEW PROCESS IN SCULPTURE
Invention Of Italian Scientist Will
Revolutionize Work Of Masters
Of the Chisel.

A process for producing bas-reliefs
by photography is the fruit Of the
invention of an Italian scientist.
The basis Of the invention is the
property possessed by film Of chromi-
UNI gelatin of swelling in proportion
to the intensity of the light falling
upon it. The swelling is greater with
low than with high intensity, so
that the light passing through pho
tographic negative produces upon a
chromium gelatin plate a positive In
distinct relief.
The transparency of an ordinary
negative, however, is not truly proper
tional to the relief Of the original
model, but by an ingenious automatic
device Involving double exposure this
difficulty is avoided and negative
Is obtained having its lights and
shades correctly graded to produce the
effect Of relief.

Why Dogs Bark at the Moon.

The full moon especially irritates tn,
dog, because 1t impresses his eyes
whether 1t is far away or near, he does
not know. All he knows is that his
nose remains unsatisfied. Therefore
when you tie your dog during full
moon he will strain at the chain. He
wants to get at the moon--chase 1t

There is a foreign saying: "The dog
barks at the moon because he thinks

WHY
Fssline Of Pain Follows Cutting OF
FINGER


It hurts when you cut your finger
or, rather. where you cut 1t. says the
Book of Wonders. because the place
you have cut Is exposed to the oxygen
In the air. and as soon as 1t Is SO ex-
posed chemical action begins to take
place, just as when you cut an apple
and lay II aside you come back and
find the cut surface all turned brown.
If the. apple could feel 1t would hurt
also, because the chemical action Is
much the same. The apple has skin
which protects its inside from the
oxygen In the air, and you have also
skin which protects you from the
oxygen as long as it Is .unbroken. /,
What happens, of course. Is this |:
When you cut your finger you sever
the tiny little veins and nerves which
are in your finger. They are spread
all over your body like network I'M
der the skin, close to the surface In
most places. The nerves when cut
send a quick message to the brain, with
which they are connected, telling that
they are damaged, and the brain calls
on the heart and other functions to get
busy and repair the damage along the
line.
There may be some hurt while this
process of repairing is going on, but
the principal part of your hurt, out
side of what we call your feelings, is
due to the fact that the inside of you
is thus exposed to the chemical action
of the air.

AZ a DISADVANTAGES.

There had been unpleasant words
before between ths dramatist and
leading comedian as to the latter's
habit of adding impromptu jokes to
his part. There's no need for you
to gag" said the dramatist angrily,
after the comedian had done It again.
"YOur part as written is quite funny
enough. All you've got to do Is to say
the words and wait for the audience
to laugh" The comedian did not look
convinced. That's an right for you,"
he grumbled. "You live in town and
can afford the time. But don't forget
! have to catch the midnight train
to my place in the suburbs. and can't
wait till the audience laughs!"

DICKENS TWO LOVE AFFAIRS
eIouraphers Generally Have Over
looked Interesting Passages In the
Life OF the Great Novelist.

The many biographers of Charles
Dickens have made little mention of
his love affairs, though It Is certain
that the great novelist had loved pas
sionately In his time. says writer in
London Ideas. It Is only In out-of-the-
way little books that one comes across
such revelations as this:
"When only boy of i've years
Charles Dickens had little playmate
named Lucy, beautiful fairhaired
child, whom he loved to distraction.
1T was his first love. and only a
baby affection at that, but the novelist
never forgot It, 1t is a fact that she is
the heroine of at least one Dickens
novel,"
The original of Dora Spenlow in
David Copperfield' was a later love
Of Dickens, and one which was I'M
happy for him. The lady. early in the
acquaintance, encouraged his affec-
lions. but her parents objected on the
score Of the position he then held In
life, and she inclined to their view.
She went away to Paris to study art.
and completely forgot the unhappy
lover. Later, when Dickens had at
tanned fame as novelist, she wrote to
him, and after time there was a
meeting.
But the lady whom the novelist had
known and loved had changed.
Chs as Dickens, at all times senti-
mentalist, was prepared to find her
grown old with him, but he did not
anticipate the change In her character.
And thus the attempt at reconciliation
failed Of its purpose.

ems here last night escaped with a
total of $26.700 in cash, Liberty bonds,
war savings stamps and notes To-
night officers still are at work on
the case. but have found no clue. The
robber or robbers made their entry
through the back window and worked
the combination on the safe. They
secured $1,000 worth of Liberty
bonds. $500 worth of war savings
stamps. $4,000 worth of notes and
500 in cash. Only $50 of the cash
taken hy the thieys belonged to Mr..
Stevens. The remaining so belonged
to the poStofiice. Miss Anna l..
BoStik. postmistress, had placed the
money in the safe, before leaving for
home yesterday afternoon.
Efforts were made soon after the
discovery to obtain bloodhounds from
the state farm at CumminS. but after
several unsuccessful attempts the plan
was given up and officers of Hemp

was not discovered until early this

Arkansas probably will be depend

A Hughes. prominent agriculturalist
and orchard expert The crops of
Ohio. West Virginia Virginia and the
northern part of Georgia are reported

ton of Georgia will ship only two
thirds of the normal crop. These con-
ditions will necessarily cause high
prices. and il is believed that the or
chard run will bring from $1.75 to
1925 bushel. Most orchardists, ii
is reported, are holding for even high

The differences still remaining on
the subjects of frontiers and repara-

are so persistently maintained as to
threaten to create prolonged delays
which the president and American del

The president was described by one
who saw him during the day as stand

no further concessions. He insists
that the principles which were def
nitely agreed upon at the time of the
armiStice are at stake. There is lit
tie doubt that the presidents stand

more or less exaggerated, yet all seem
