Kniffed Callers.

Knitted gaiters made their appear ance in Paris this past spring. White wool, snugly knitted, answers the pur- pose of spat low shoe, and ap- pears to good advantage. Mayhap this is a style that will find favor here as the weeks pass. We are told that shoes are going to be higher in price next autumn and leather so scarce that we may find it best to wear low shoes and gaiters. In that case these WelLknitted gaiterS might be really useful fad.

Enaland Harhors Ex.Queens.

England will soon be the land of five
queens, a potential and powerful group
either in politics or poker. The figure
resembles a misdeal, but it is ex-
plainad by the fact that England has
n queen and a queen mother, while
there are in England the one-time
queens of two other countries. They
are soon to L. joineS by another, Elm
press Marie Of Russia. She and the
two other foreign ladies are deep in
unhappiness = three of the saddeSt
queens, as an observer has remarked,
in modern history The two whom
Empress Marie will join are Empress
Eugene and the queen mother of Por-
tugal.
These three women plainly tell the
story of greatness. One Of them was
driven from her throne and her son
was killed fighting for another coun-
try; another was eXiled after having
been robbed of her husband and son,
and her other son driven from the
throne; the last was widowed and her
son, her grandson and her grand
daughters brutally murdered.

TickIish Bit of Tunneling.

A very interesting bit of tunnehns
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes
showed a thickness of only eight
inches of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top of the tunnel
was to run. AS the tunnel was being
driven without the use of compressed
air it was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
of rock was passed. The cast iron
lining was set in place at each side
of this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using a
great many holes each loaded with
about one-eighth Of stick of dyna-
mite. AS each bit of rock was removed
the arch Of the tunnel lining was set
in place. BY this means the dangerous
section was tunneled without breaking
through the thin shell.-Scientitlc

IS LARGEST OF INDUSTRIES
Statistieians Figure in Billions When
They Make Computations OF
Live Stock Business.

The live stock industry is the larg-
est and, in more than one sense,
the most important industry in the
United States. Its extent, measured
by the value of live animals, amounts
to more than sS,000000O00. It's i'm
portance rests in the necessity for
live stock to consume the products Of
farms and ranges. so per cent Of which,
according to census reports, IS fed to
live stock; In the maintenance. Of soil
fertility, which cannot be kept up con-
tinuously and economically without a
considerable number of animals as
part Of the farm system; in the in
dispensable place which animal food
occupies in the American diet, OF
which it makes up 3S per cent. based
on the average consumers food-ex-
pense account; and finally, in the far
reaching influence which the growing,
fattening and marketing Of live stock
has upon the social and economic well
fare of all classes of people, including
producers, distributors, and the meat
consuming public.
The slaughtering and meat pack
ing business is the largest manufac-
turing industry in the United States,
according to the United States census
of manufacturers. The sales of live
stock in the Chicago market alone to-
tailed nearly S1,OOO0O0,000 in 1918, or
over 100000 a day, and the daily
sales at all of the centralized live stock
markets of this country total close to
S20000,000.

Now, everyone knows that the min

GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
Il Is Said Only Experts Are Able
to FELL the Difference Be.
- tween the Two.

There is a growing disposition to
give the goat his due Heretofore this
rubbish-eattng animal has been re-
gar6ed pretty much as joke, but he
has continued to eat tin cans and
thrive until now his race has ac-
quired census-listing proportions and
market has been established in a
middle-western city where surplus
goats will be converted into Spring
lamb"efor the benefit Of our non-vege-
tarisns. AS an addition to the poor
mans meat perhaps the goat will be
welcome, especially If his advent tends
to lower the present high prices.
Goat meat tastes much the same as
.mutton, 1t is claimed, and that the DIFF
ference cannot be told save by an ex-
pert. Perhaps that is just as well.
Our Imagination has much to do with
our taste. Many people are eating
horse meat in this country under the
impression that It is beef, for horses
are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
is their meat exposed for sale under
its true name. No doubt the easiest
way for us to get used to goat meat rs
to camoufage it as mutton. It Is an
other case of ignorance being bliss.
But, as we are assured by the e1-
perts that it is wholesome, a name
win not make much difference in the
end. Mutton, the world over, has been
the poor mans meat If goat meat
can add TO the supply. so much the
better. The meat Of goats was a
favorite in the days of the patrarchs.
1t is still highly priced in the East
There seems to be no reason why 1t
should not ultimately hold a respect
able place On our menus.

INTRODUCES DRUG IN LUNGS
French Physicians Method of Admin
istering chIoroform Said to Be
Pronounced Success.

A new method Of administering
chloroform, brought out In France by
DR.. Guisez, is described in the Scien-
tifc American. The doctor no longer
applies the drug by the usual com
press or mask placed over the mouth,
but introduces the chloroform vapor
directly into the lungs through tube
running INTO the windpipe. The tube
method has already been employed
in several hundred cases, and with
great success. Besides being very
useful for operations to be performed
on the head and neck, it IS Of great
interest because it never produces
nausea.
The effects of the new method will
serve to explain the reasons why chic
reform operations always produced
nausea when operating by the former
method. for 1t appears evident that
the nausea was caused by part of
the chloroform vapors being absorbed
by the oesophagus and the stomach.

AVERAGE lnteIIiaence.

There have been Il number OF re-
ports about the results of the psy-
chologic tests in the army which are
not particularly encouraging. or
course it is all very well to find that
more than half of those taken in the
draft were of an average or of a
higher intelligence and that four out
of every 100 were of Every superior"
intelligence and eight to ten out of
every 100 of superior" intelligence.
This will probably average up higher
than what would be secured in any
European country, but the fly in the
ointment is the high relative percent
age of those who are "below average
intelligence. or of an inferior" intelli-
gence or are Every Inferior" with
several grades and degrees even below

EQUAL 70 THE EMERGENCY
American Genius Quickly Produced
Precision Blocks Accurate to
Miltionth Part Of inch.

One Of Alnerea's lfttletlsnown war
fomances is revealed by John g. Tsn
Deventer in hts story Of precision
gauges, which appears In Epery'bodyns.
Virtually all of our munitions had to
be made to limit gauges which had to
be corrected by means Of precision
blocks to within a few milfouths OF
an inch. "Twenty years ago" writes
Mr. Van Deventer, "a Swedish tool
maker named Johansson made up his
mind that the mill1onth Of an inch was
the coming thing-hunted during nine
years for a practical way to get 1t
and got it. How? Nobody knows ex-
cept Johansson. and he won't tell
For over nine years he kept everybody
guessing. Our best shops imported
his blocks and used them for check
ing the gauges.
-Then came the war, with its Won
derful stimulation of American Se-
MUS. With it came also tie need Of
being independent Of the old world
in the matter Of gauges.
'The war took E. G. Peck away
from his job of running great fac
tory in Cleveland and brought him
to Washington to take charge OF the
gauging Of ordnance products 1t
brought William E. Hoke of st. Louis
to the bureau Of standards, with an
idea of how to produce precision
blocks. Colonel Peck and Major Hoke
got together, and in six months were
turning out precision blocks accurate
to the millionth part Of an inch"
