Plans for Future.
Officials and employees of the or

'In any plans or predictions for a

Poor service on transportation
lines is sometimes a blessing. AL
though today citizens of South Bend
are cursiny the street car schedules,
few of them realize that back in
1855 the slowness of a train brought
about the building of a great in
dustry in South Bend. An hours
difference in train schedule might
have placed the great oliver Chilled
Pillow Works in Goshen, Ind.
In 1855. James oliver, founder OF
the Oliver Chilled Pillow works, was
working in Mishawaka, in the en-
ploy Of the St. Joseph Iron Works,
a small foundry, where he learned
the principles which led TO the in
vention of the Oliver chilled plow
In that year the iron works changed
hands, and young oliver left its en-
ploy. lie came TO South Bend in
order TO take "A train to Goshen,
where he intended 10 locate with a
business Of his own.
Whether the train was late. or
whether the long wait was neces-
STATED by the regular schedule, MS
tory does not disclose. At any rate
the train didn't come for some time,
and young Oliver met a Mr.. Lamb.
who was associated with a certain
Ira Fox in a small iron foundry, and
after some little time. during which
IL is supposed, the train for Goshen
came and went. young oliver pur-
chased an interest in the business.
This was Mr.. divers first business
venture in south Bend.
Experiments i'm 1864.
The first foundry was known as
the south Bend Iron works, and
was situated on the west race. which
has since been filled IN. After a few
years, Mr.. oliver bought out the in
terest of his partners, and assumed
full control Of the business. \ flood

Why Navy Eiue.

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
hoary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the Ro-
mans, traces the origin of this color
TO the Veneti, an ancient people dwell
ing near the coast of Biscay and well
versed In seamanship. 1t was custom
ary among them to paint their outgo-
ing ships as well as the masts and sails
with blue color; also their soldiers
and sailors wore blue uniforms. Ac-
cording to our author. the Latin word
"Venetus," which was both the name
Of the color and that OF the people.
points to its origin. From the Ven
eti the custom was adopted by the Ro-
mans. Thus the son Of Pompeius, af-
ter defeating Caesars fleet in naval
battle, wore the navy blue. although
entitled to the purple. The veneti
were subdued by Caesar after a Sc

The Hottest Citv.

The city of Hyderabad on the great
Sind desert of India. has the reputa
ton OF being the hottest place in the
world, having shade temperature of
127 degrees during the summer
months Even the natives find 1t hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible, the people make use of
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, setting" them so
as to convey breeze to the dwellers
in the hot rooms below. Every resi-
dental building has several of these
queer airshafts leading down to the
principal living rooms, and especially
to the bedrooms. Even so, 1t is prac-
tically impossible, during the terrible
heat OF summer, to get to sleep until
two or three o'clock in the morning.
and then one only gets couple Of
hours rest, as the rays OF the Indian
sun are specially strong early in the
morning. and soon raise the tempera-
ture again to an unbearable extent.

CARPET WEAVERS OF INDIA
Hard to Imagine Work More Monot.
onous>T Than That In Which They
Pass Their Lives.

Carpet weavers OF India work in
long, narrow shed, straw-thatched,
without any walls, opel to sunshine
and the fitful breeze that stirs the
swaying plumelike leaves of the slen-
der palm and coconut trees rearing
their tall. proud heads above it. Four
or five or even more boys sit on wood
en- boards on the mud floor in front
of the old-fashioned loom their feet
resting in shallow pit underneath
1t, dug especially to receive them. In
one corner squats a man, his back
probably turned to the weavers, his
eyes dreamily gazing into space or
quite shut, droning: "Three magent,
two green, five blue, one orange" and
so on. His sleepy sing-song sounds,
to one unfamiliar with his language,
like the babblins- of one talking in
his sleep. or like muttered prayers.
But he is neither dreaming nor per-
forming his devotions. He is debating
to the boys ut the loom the colors of
the thread that each respective work
er is to twist about the particular
strand on which he is working. The
lads obey his commands as mechan-
ically as If they We're automatons.
None OF them knows aught of the
scheme Of the carpet, nor is any of
them conscious Of the progress that
is being worked out on the other side
of the carpet from that on which the
wcavers gaze.

SUCCESSFUL WAR ON WEEVIL
Australian Grain Growers Used Poison
Gas to Combat Deadly Enemy
Of Their Crops.

The weevil is n weNknown curse to
the grain-growing farmer. He Is n
member of very large group, rejoic-
ing In the family name of curcuhon-
idae. There are some other members
which live to spoil nuts. some which
ravage apple orchards, while others
make war upon clover and legumes

weevil's eggs are laid in immature
grains and the creature develops it.
self through the larya stage ut their
expense. Wherever grain Is taken, the
weevil goes along and so discovers
new countries for its habitation.
Everywhere it is at home, and grows
with the growing grain. Australia has
suffered, and its unsold grain accum-
ulated through the war years, during
which the length of the voyage made
ii impossible to obtain transportation
to Europe, was foundsto deteriorate
through It's ravages. But our fellow
citizens on the other side of the world
are notoriously hard to beat, and set
tot work vigorously to war against
these restless grlbs. A leaf was
taken from the German book. and the
use of poison gas was resorted to
with apparently deadly effect.

The first vertebrate creatures to
succeed in producing vocal sounds
were the amphibians. and, although
there has been little variety in their
individual repertories through the
ages, they have diligently cultivated
their powers. DIR. Frank Overton, in
an account of the frogs and the toads
of Long Island, describes their dis
tinctive calls and songs. The common
toad of Long Island has "a combina-
tion of low whistle and moan" !;
ters "a sweet, thrilling whistle; the
spadefoot makes sQuawk '.like the
groan of deepvoiced man who Is
having his tooth pulled"; the chorus
of the cricket frog heard at a dis
tance sounds like jingling of small
sleigh belis,' and close by like the
rattle of small pebbles poured upon n
cement pavement" The common tree
frog utters loud, musicaI trill, and
now and then note exactly like the
sound make by hen turkey that is
calling to her mates" The spring
"peeper" whistles shrilly; the leopard
frog says 'croak" very slowly, Sin an
extremely low-pitched bass voice" /;
the pickerel frog makes soft sound
like "a gentle musical snore"; the
wood frogs heard at distance "sound
