Twenty-Five Years After
Death, Boone's Body Was
Re-Interred in Kentucky

"With Kentcky won Boone found
that, by one of the twists Of law, the
plot of ground he thought was his was
not his at ALL" says William Heyliger
in concluding an article on "Daniel
Boone" in Boys Life, the official maya
zine of the boy scout organization.
almost like a penElless outcast he
moved to Virginia, but when fresh
tales came to him of land to the west
Of the Mississippi, then called Louisi-
ana, his sixty-one years did not deter
him from risking a fresh start. In
1895 he established himself near the
present city of st. Louis and took what
he thought was a deed to land; but in
1903, when this territory passed from
Spain to the United States, he found
this claim worthless.
But now the American people were
awakening to a realization of what
Boone's leadership in Kentucky had
meant to the nation. Congress granted
him $50 acres of land. There in the
West, free from want, he passed his
last days. Twenty-Five years after his
death his remains were brought back
to Kentucky. And, in the land no gave
to civilization, he sleeps, this mar who
Carried the torch of civilization among
a savage people and barred his chest
to the shock of battle that it's flame
might not be extinguished."

Be Americans First. Last
and Always
Advics Of Senator Lodge % American
People

Do not forget that having visions is
one thing, while being a visionary, es-
pecially a visionary whose ideals and
visions are stage properties, is quite
another. What troubles me most,
writes Senator Lodge in Leslie's, about
the books and articles and speeches by
our most advanced thinkers setting
forth new panaceas and systems for all
the evils is that they are generally so
very old, a fact apparently d~isregarded
by their authors, who very properly
despise a past which only rises up to
be troublesome. Russian bolshevism
presents a warning to America in its
awful results of a scheme which Its
authors pretended and their dupes be-
lieved would make all men happy in a
moment. In letters of fire this Russian
scene a Y to us: "This way lies ruin"
Be Americans first, Americans last and
Americans always.

Columns, Water and Other
Methods by Which Anclents
Kept Track Of the Time

Sacred history furnishes the earliest
reference to anything like a fixed and
permanent time measurer. Isaiah
speaks Of the dial of Ahaz which went
ten degrees backward and this dial, IT
has been conjectured, was a tall and
slender column, which cast a shadow
on a series of steps with which 1t was
encircled. The Egyptians, too, are
credited with having used their mono
liths, such as Cleopatra's needle. as
time measurers.
The Chaldeans had other methods
of measuring time. They, as well as
the contemporary Hindoos, and very
likely the Egyptians, were acquainted
with the water clock, or clepsydra,
which measured time after the fash
ion Of the hour glass, water taking
the place of sand. 1t is believed that
the Egyptians actually had hour
glasses, for upon one of the bas-re'
liefs which have come to light after
their long interment of 5000 years Oh
more is an object which those learned
in such matters assure us can be moth
ing else than a sand glass.
In principle the clepsydra vas moth
ing but a rod floating upon water
which vas slowly dropping from an
orifice in the vessel in which it Wa
contained. Certain divisions werS
marked upon the rod, and a fixed
pointer served the purpose of a CLOCK
hand.

Birds Have Rlqht of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not oil. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by a town would see a
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently a prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
department of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and 1t was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is I'M
lawful.

Mammoth Cave Has Rival.

Workers in a mine at Matehuala,
lear San Luis Potosi, Mexico, have
discovered a cave which is said to be
q Of the largest in the republic.
It Is more than 300 feet below the
level Of the mine and is Is feet in
width.
It's length has never been estimated,
but exploring parties expect to survey
1t carefully in the e a future. One of
the most fantastic of its many gro
tesque adornments is a sulphurous
fountain which pours out continuously
a stream of blue water.
1t promises to rival in magniicence
Kentucky's famous Mammoth cave,
when fully explored.

Agriculture Is the Chief
Occupation of Finlanders

In spite of its northerly position and
Its poor soil, agriculture is still the
chief occupation of Finland, even
though the cultivated area covers only
e.5 per cent of the land. The coop
erative movement, the introduction and
use of modern agricultural machinery
and improved methods Of cultivation
have greatly helped in the develop
ment, but there is ample opportunity
for further development. Cattle rails
Ing and dairying also have grown con-
siderably during the last decades. The
lumber industry ranks second in i'm
portance, with about 81 per cent Of
the area of the country forest lands.

Origin and Design of Great
Seal of the United States

The great seal of the United States
was adopted by congress 1876 years ago.
The design was suggested by Sir John
Prestwich, an eminent English anti
quarry, to John Adams, then United
States minister to Great Britain, and
vas formally accepted by congress on
June 20, 1882. 1t is composed of a
spread eagle, bearing on its breast an
e%scutcheon with 10 stripes. and in its
talons holding an olive branch and Ii
arrows, symbolic of both peace and
war. The eagle, the suggestion of an
Englishman, has ever since been the
national bird of the United States.

Parchmented Leather Valuable.

Parchmented leather has greater
strength while lacking the elasticity
Of tanned leather, and the betting Of
M. Felice Gilardiri of Turin Is designed
to combine these special qualities. The
hide being impressed deeply with a
trelliswork pattern, the compressed
portions are unaffected by tanning
agents, while the interior of the
meshes is tanned in the usual way.
The product has the required elasticity
and is claimed to be $ strong that
belts may be much narrower than the
ordinary.

Should Apply Slogan "Do

The secret of letter-writing as we'll

the open secret of using the odds and

we a sit down and write uninter-

vain or else acquire such a habit of
waiting that when at last the time ar
rives We shall waste it waiting for
some more. Do it now. If there is

page, write a page, if for a word, write

Ten Hens to a Home.

BY keeping a backyard poul-
try flock the family would not
only help in reducing the cost
of living but would have eggs
of a quality and freshness which
are often difficult to obtain.
Each hen in her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs.
The average size of the back
yard flock should be at least ten
hens. Thus each flock would
produce in a year 100 dozens of
eggs, which, at the conservative
value of 40 cents a dozen, would
be worth $40.
