NEW" WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Asphyxiating Bomb and Incendiary
Shell Outgrowth Of Missiles EN-.
pIoyed Long Ago by Chinese. -

Many of the "new" weapons pro
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the asphyxiating bomb is
an outgrOwth of q missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead OF
deadly chemicals, it contained some
substance that emitted a nauseous
odor, accompanied by sitting smoke,
Later this device appeared in Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name Of "stink-pot."
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saracens, which
fired kind of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side of building and set fire to it.
These balls were made of petroleum
and inter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek fire.
The German device of throwing Pc
troll upon an enemy by means of a
pump was used long ago, when an at
lacking ship often spouted flames at
the object Of it's assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted in the destruction
Of the vessel so attacked.

A Clever Burro.

A friend tells us the following about
Rowdy, burro he bought as a foal
in Colorado and brought home to Mas
sachusetts for his children: "Rowdy is
now an aged pensiOner, but he has
been as clever little pet and servant
us one could wish. His friendship for
the family COW has been one of the
distinguishing features of his career.
They used to stand side by side in
the stable, and in the pasture would
actually play tag. The COW began
years ago with her rough tongue to
lick Rowdy's face. When he attempted
to reciprocate the courtesy, his smooth
tongue made no impression. This then
is what we have seen him do hun
dred times: He would find small
stick, take it in his teeth, and scratch
the COW all about the eyes, and ears
and horns" Can anyone call this in
stinct? Was such an idea tucked away
in Rowdys brain when he was born,
part of his inheritance from genera
tons of ancestral burros? That
would seem out of the question. We
are inclined to think that Rowdy
thought out the stick idea for himself.

OLD ALBUM FIRST ANTHOLOGY
Present-Day Passion for Gathering
Favorite Passages Of Prose and
Poetry More Than Fad.

It is small wonder that the number
of anthologics should be increased
with every season, since the passion
for making them. so far from being 6
literary fad has it's roots at the very
heart of human nature. In one way
or another we are all collectors, and
the desire to group together in sin
gle volume our favorite passages OF
poetry and prose is at least as old as
the Illuminated manuscripts of the
monasteries.
Moreover, in the generation immedi.
atdy preceding our own, this taste
was particularly luxuriant; and the
first anthologies of the current fashion
may be found in those albums of our
grandmothers, Of which every family
preserves q few, where the melodies
of Moore and the lyrical fervOrs of
Mrs. Hemans are engrosSed in the
neatest and most angular of calig-
raphy. And nowadays, when every
thing that is written and collected
seems to find it's way into print sooner
or Inter, nothing is more natural than
that every man or woman of letters
should be represented by his own par
ticular anthology, as a sort of sign
manual of taste and erudition.
The custom has also conspicuous adj
vantages, for even the most capriciOus
collection must needs contain many
indisputable jewels, and for these
there can never be too many, nor too
frequent readers. .. Speaking gen.
orally, then, it may be said with JUS
tice that there can scarcely be too
many of these aids to culture, and that
the more deeply they penetrate into
the leisure reading of the student, the
more thoroughly will his appreciation
for what is best in literature be fos-
tered and developed.-Arthur Waugh.

How Houses Explode.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes is the ex-
plosion Of houses, which literally
burst, scattering their fragments in all
directions. Sometimes substantial
dwellings are carried high into the air
and then explode. 1t is now under
stood that this is due to the fact that
the funnel cloud" (revolving at a rate
of at least 500 miles an hour) has q
vacuum inside. Thus it sucks up
everything in its path, even emptying
wells. 1t sucks all the air from around
q house over which it passes, and the

GALWAY IS REAL IRISH TOWN
Here on Market Days Are Still to Be
Seen the Old Country Costumes
and Customs. ,.,-,.

| Galway is an Irish town with a
touch of real old Ireland about it.
Here on. market days you can still see
the old" country costumes-the hard
, black cutaway coats Of the men and
! the red homespun skirts of the women
who wear soft gray shawls over their
heads. All the country produce is
, brought to market and the rule Of "on-
/ ly one price, marked in plain figures"
has never even been heard of. Bar
gaining goes on at endless length, and
the purchase Of a score Of eggs may
take half an hour. Eggs are not sold
, by the dozen in Galway.
All sorts Of curious things are for
sale in Galway market, brought from
many miles away in little donkey carts
or carried on foot by sturdy old men
who think nothing Of a tramp Of dOZ-
en- miles. Calves are staple and
are wrapped up in gunny bags with
nothing but the head projecting when
shipment has to be made. Peat is
for sale by the CARLOAD, fowls and
vegetables. Most curious of all per-
haps is peculiar seaweed, which is
popular as salad dish. To the visitor
its taste is rather unpleasant, but, ac-
cording to local tradition, it has the
marvellous property of being able to
clear the head Of him who has had "a
drop too much" Galway might work
