Whales Not Deep Divers.

Although it is common belief
among sailors that whales, when they
sound" descend TO enormous depths
In the ocean, and, although 1t has been
estimated that the larger whales com
monty dive to depth Of almost two
thirds of a mile. yet member OF an
antarctic expedition challenges these
statements and AYERS that about 300
feet is the maximum depth to which
whale can dive, says the Sun and New
York Herald. He bases his statement
partly on the fact that the fish on
which they feed and TO obtain which
they are accustomed to sound, dwell
near the surface, and partly on the
fact that at the depth of 1000 yards
or more the pressure Is so great that
they could not withstand it, and that
their muscular strength is not sufii-
cient to propel them into the regions
where It prevails.

"SQUEEzE" POPULAR IN CHINA
What the Western World Calls Graft"
Is Practiced by All Classes in
That Country.

One trait firmly imbedded in the
Chinese character which the foreign
business man and the housewife both
have To contend with is the weakness
for squeeze" II is said by foreigners
that the Chinese merchant, coolie,
politician. fisherman, chauffeur and
beggar would rather make ST by
squeeze" than so by the same
amount Of brain work or manual la
Dor.
Squeeze is Chinese for graft. 1t is
Il word i'm that international Far East
ern tongue known as pidgin-English.
But squeeze is something more than
graft It's political phase might be
termed graft. and that form of squeeze
is what makes the military governors
of the provinces and the politicians of
Picking and Canton so fat. Most Chi
nese politicians would have been ac-
ceptable i'm the eyes Of Julius Caesar,
and squeeze is the reason for some Of
the corpulence in China.
Squeeze is the Chinese translation
of "as much as the traffic will bear"
1t is factor in ChiRese business, as
much as supply and demaRd, or profit
and loss.

Where Old Jewelry Goes.

The United States assay office at
New York has recently received much
gold and silver in queer articles for
conversion TO bullion or coin.
The charges for converting gold and
silver are less than those made by any
private company, which circumstance
brings to the assay office dealers in
precious metals, pawnbrokers, jewel
ers. gold and silver producers and the
banks. 1t is no unusual sight to see
a dealer bring in lot of jewelry made
UP of a gold mesh bag. brooches, scarf
pins and rings. This is weighed in
bulk and a receipt given which in
cludes no statement Of value. All the
articles are melted as a whole, and
the owner given the privilege of re-
ceiving in payment gold or silver bull
lion or cash.
Some time ago the executrix or an
estate sent a silver chandelier of enor-
nous proportions. but hopelessly out
of style. 1t was reported to have cost
$4,000 fifty years ago. Melted 1t
brought about $2,700.

An Apple a Day.

"They tell u.s." said Mr.. Billtops,
"that an apple a day keeps the doctor
away, and | guess that is so; 1 am
sure that an apple night promotes
sound and restful slumber.
"We keep our apples in the icebox.
The last thing that Mrs. Billtops, ever
thoughtful Mrs. Billtops, does in max
ing her rounds before retiring for the
night is to get an apple out of the ice
box and place it. with a fruit knife,
on the dining-rOom table for me.
Nightly the last thing ! do before
going to bed is to go out into the din
ing room, seat myself comfortably,
and eat that apple; leisurely. find II
cool and refreshing; in every way
agreeable; and having eaten it l turn
in and sleep delightfully."-.

REAL TURK NOT MONEY MAD
Recognizes There Are Higher Things
in Life Than Practicing Buying
and Selling.

The real Turk, unlike the so-called
mongrel Turk, does not have to i'm
press his sense of superiority on 9TH
ers. And, although the latter is al
ways eager To do business with you,
according TO Mr.. Herbert Gibbons in
Asia, the real Turk is often quite in
different.
Some real Anatolian Turks are mer-
chants and sit i'm the baZaars. But
they will not go out of their way 10
make sale, and they really do not
care whether you buy or not. Often
they ignore strangers; sometimes they
rebuff them. When you meet with
this type in the bazaars where all the
Jews and Gentiles are hard after your
money, it is like dash of cold wa
ter in your face.
Once in little open shop l saw a
rug that attracted me. / started to
enter bat the crouched figure on the
mat put out long-fingered left hand.
grasped firmly my ankle, and removed
my foot outside the threshold. l
thought there must be some supersti-
ton about which foot went first; so
| tried he other. The same left hand
proved again it's strength. All the
while the merchant did not speak or
look up. His right hand was string
ing beads, ana he was smoking a mar
gile.
He simply did not want to bother
with me- and my shoe fold him that
was a frangga (European). Later
got to know that old bird, and we
laughed over stories together. But
he never asked me to buy anything.
and l did not want to risk his friend
ship by making second try for the
rug. There are more important things
In life than buying and selling.

NATURE IN A RACE
Violence of Typhoon Is Almost
Beyond Belief.
Writer Wildly Describes Scene When
Great Windstorm Wrought Havoc
In Harbor of Hong Kong
Boats Piled on Shore.

81 had been anxious to see a
typhoon." says Edwin Tarrisse, who
has spent some years i'm the East, land
! had my wish gratified in Hong Kong
more than once. The strength of the
wind at such times il greater than one
would have thought possible. 1t whirIs
ships helplessly adrlft from the firm
est moorings and with sudden blast
takes away the corners of houses and
sends projecting verandas flying
across the street.
During the night of one gale the
residents for the most part shut them
selves closely in their houses. careful
ly securing their doors and windows,
and so remained with constant appre-
hension and dread lest the dwelling
should be swept away and themselves
be entombed in the ruins.
"Once, while the storm was at its
worst, ventured down TO the Praya
to see the crowd of Chinese boats that
had been blown inshore and piled up
in a mass of wreckage just below the
city. The sky was of dark leaden
color, and the wind caught up the
crested waves and sent them in long,
white streaks OF vapor across the
scene, through which the dismantled
ships were dimly deserted drifting
from their moorings.
1.-THE heavy, stone-faced wall of the
Praya had given way, and the great
In
upon the road. Half-blinded by the
waves as they leaped over the road
and dashed i'm angry foam against the
houses, and buffeted by the wind, |
made slow Roadway to the east end
of the settlement, where a number OF
foreigners were attempting to rescue
two women from small Chinese boat
1--WE had TO cling to the lamp posts
and stanchions and seek shelter
against the doorways and walls. Adj
vantage was taken OF slight lull in
the storm to fire off rockets, but these
were driven back like feathers against
the houses. Then, long lifeboats were
dragged to the pier, but the first was
broken and disabled the moment 1t
touched the water, while the second
met a like fate and its gallant crew
were pitched out into the sea.
SIN short, every effort proved abor-
tive, and as darkness set in the I'M
happy women and their boat were re-
luctantly abandoned to their fate.
Next morning. the whole length or
the Praya presented n scene of wreck
age and desolation. Many Of the Chi
nese Notwithstanding their shrewd-
ness in predicting storms, had been
taken quite unawares and hence the
fearful sacrifice of life and the loss
of property which ensued."

Tapestry in History.

During the Italian Renaissance the
art developed in subtle treatment of
color and shading and Flemish tap
estry reached its height Of artistic per-
lection in the magnificent pieces from
cartoons by Raphael and other Ital-
ian masters.
Royalty supported the industry at
this period Incidents of history were
woven into design with threads of
gold and silver. and even jewels. 9th
ers were mellowed by soft colorings Of
wool. with their high lights supplied
by Silken threads. The dyes, often as
costly as the gold and silver, have
held their colors for centuries, and it
has been beyond the modern chemist
to solve their alchemy. No such col
ors can be produced today, nor none
that are so unfading. When tapestry
making waned in Brussels, France de-
veleped the art. and under Henry "
and Louis XIV the Gobelins were
famed for their perfection of work
manship and color.

Advises WALKING on Tiptoe.

Walking OH tiptoe a few minutes
daily is the form of exercise pre-
scribed by DR.. Gautiez, French
physician. 1t brings into action little
used muscles of back and abdomen as
well as those of calf and thigh, stiff
fens the spinal column and neck, and
promotes chest breathing in place of
the abdominal breathing common
from constant walking on the heels.
II gives the benefit of gymnastic run
ming without the useless heart fatigue
and loss Of breath. 1t Is pronounced
the most convenient form of physical
culture, end its efficacy is easily test
ed. But IL must not be assumed that
the reforming practice Of wearing
high-heeled shoes has the advantages

THETFoRD SOCIAL CIRCLE
Register of Probate. AZ

! The Social Circle Christmas enter

Mrs. Ethel Sedlow. The table fatly
groaned under its load of good things

Santa arrived with his sleigh bells
