FAULTY GLOVES MEAN DEATH
Good Reason Why Electric Linemen
Take Especial Care of the Rubber
Hand Coverings.

You would be extremely careful In
your selection of pair of gloves if
you knew that rip or tear would
probably cost you your life.
This is the case in which the cleo
trio lineman finds himself, we are told
by a writer in the American Machin-
list. He then goes on and describes
the linemen's gloves and the great care
with which they are tested. He says
"Some day when you are walking
along a main-traveled road, where traf-
fic is piled back as far as one can see,
and linemen are repairing a broken
wire, stop and watch them work.
"The gloves they wear tell a unique
story. Probably the line they are han
ding is alive and carrying electric
current enough to cause instant death !;
yet they pick it up, twist it, splice it
as nonchalantly as though handling a
fishing tackle. They are able to pick
up the live wire because of the rubber
gloves they wear.
'Did you know that these gloves are
today made according to rigid specifi-
cations completely standardized, and
that no purchasing agent dare buy rub
Der gloves until he has thoroughly
tested them? No glove can be marked
with the manufacturers name or with
the size in such a manner as to injure
1t in any way. The gloves must each
be more than IA inches long and the
average thickness not less than 006
inch. They must have a tensile
strength of 1900 pounds per square
inch and bear having two inches of
their surface stretched to IL inches
without rupture. The gloves must
be capable of withstanding the appli-
cation of $4,000 volts without pune
turing"

SlDON ONCE POWERFUL CITY
Knew Domination of Three World
Ruling Races.

Sidon, the metropolis of the ancient
the Egyptians but the yoke of the
Pha~aOhs was thrown off, after which
the AssyrianS ruled with heavy hand.
Later Phoenicia became a Roman
province. Greek culture had shap
ing influence, so that the story of ST.
don is in large degree the story of the
ancients through a period when ciaS-
sic history was shaping.
Sidon was built on an island, but
the shifting sands of the Mediterranean
filled in the harbor and joined the is
land with the mainland, so that the
site of the ancient city is now on a
peninsula The Sidonians, along with
the Phoenicians in general, We're a sea-
faring race of fishermen. The calling
of the sea was directly responsible
for the rise of the Phoenicians to a
powerful place in the nations, the dom
nation of the Mediterranean, the
founding of Carthage, cOlonizing in
Spain and the threatening of Rome IT.

As early as the seventh century be-
fore Christ, the Sdonians had piloted
their tiny craft, propelled by sails and

museum and in the museum of Con-
Stantinople.

SHEPHERD BECAME A PRINCE
Emr FeisaI of Arabia Seemed an Al
together Negligible Object in His
Early Life.

Emir Feisal of Arabia began life as
a dirty little shepherd boy. His moth
er was an Arabian girl of Mecca and
a cousin of his father. When Feisal
was still baby Shereef Hussein sent
him into the desert to live with a
Bedouin tribe, because it is considered
more wholesome for a boy to grow
up in the open desert country than in
a city or village. In Constantinople
Feisal contracted consumption, writes
Lowell Thomas in Asia, but since then
the desert has taken it out of him, al
though he is still very thin and has a
waist only 81 inches in circumference
He smokes cigarettes day and night
and eats sparingly. Among the tribes
he is celebrated as an unusually fine
shot and a good horseman and camel
rider Feisal is enlightened and thor
oughly modern in his views. His peo-
pie follow him, not through fear, but
because they love him. He is much
too kind and liberal-minded to rule
as an oriental despot of the old school
and he may be depended upon to usher
in an entirely new order of things for
his people.

USED BY ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
Graeco- Roman Medical and Surgical
instruments of Bronze Now in
Johns Hopkins University.

William II. Buckler, who served on
the staff of the American embassy in
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeologist museum of Johns
Hopkins university, of which he was a
former trustee, a set of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near Kolo-
phOn, in Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition in
London and was formerly in the pos
session of the late Alfred o. Van Len
nep, Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned a large estate near Kolophon
and was well acquainted with the eX-
cavations and discoveries in that vi
cinity.
The instruments, SO in number, are
They were probably the property of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found in one place. is doubtless eX-

the ancient custom of burying a per-
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hools), unique drill bow, for use in
injuries and diseases of the skull,
scoops, probes and a cautery.
The drill bow rs, from the point of
view of the archeologist, perhaps the
most interesting object. 1t is like a
tool used by carpenters.

HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRONG
Documentary Evidence Concerning
Declaration of independence and
Lncon's Gettysburg Speech.

The Declaration of Independence
wasn't signed on July 4, 1776 Abra-
ham Lincoln didn't dash off his famous
Gettysburg address on an old enyel-
ope as he rode on the train to Gettys-
burg. Most likely, George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division of the
library of congress isn't sure about
the cherry tree episode, because
George didn't write letter about it.,
but it holds documentary evidence re-
garding the other two Illusions of our
school days, 50 the history books that
we studied so trustfully were wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts of the Getty sburg
speech, one carefully written ON off
cial White house stationery, partly in
pencil, and the other in ink, beth dis
playing LincOln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the adj
dress as it was finally delivered.
As for the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, the official journal of the Con
tinentaI congress for July 4, 177G,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declaration by vote, but the
signing. which we make so much of
was deferred as unimportant. Most
of the members signed the document
a month later while in 1871, five years
later, some other congressman who
were not in Office i'm 1776 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining i'm
mortality

Wouldn't Wash.

Chatting with Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton, the famous antarctic explorer, he
told me that one of the best stories
he has heard concerns a famous ar
list.
He was showing lady visitor over
his studio one day and produced a
charming little landscape, indicating
that there was a story behind it. 81
was out in the forest" he explained.
81 had all my materials with me eX-
cept an empty canvas. l came upon a
subject that enchanted me, and felt
l must record it. l was determined
not to be baffled, so 1 took out my
handkerchief, stretched it across my
case, and painted on that"
The lady looked at the handkerchief
and then turned shocked face to the
artist. you'll never be able to wash
that paint out" she said.-London

Scientific Triumph,

Students of the Carnegie Institute
of Technology in Pittsburgh placed a
radio transmitter in Central hall to
send out the music of an orchestra
playing in the hall to scores of radio
students in the district listening in.
Professor Rath, hearing the music in
the experiment station of the univer-
sity, half a mile away, succeeded by
the use of a magnavOx-an instrument
to increase the sound from radio
receiver-and two strings of electric
wires, in passing it on a half-mile to
the Heinz house, where students
danced to it.

Not Always Warned by Instinct

Many persons are under the impress
sion that the instinct of animals
warns them against eating or drinking
anything injurious This may be the
case with wild beasts, but it certainly
is not true with domestic animals. A
chicken will drink paint, and cows
have been known to poison themselves
by draughts from a pool in which high
ly poisonous nitrate of soda had been
stepped. Give a canary hempseed in
quantities and it will very soon kill
itself
On the other hand, there are poisons
quickly fatal to man which have com
paratively little effect upon a lower
form of animal life.
Dogs and horses can take ten times
as much morphine in comparison to
their body weight as man can. The
dove or pigeon can take 500 times as
much, while the frog is unhurt by
dose 1000 times greater, weight for
weight, than would kin us.

Etiquette AT FIJI TABLE
Guest Would Do Well to Famliarize
Himself With the Rules, Which
Are Exceedingly Strict.

If ever you go to Fiji and are asked
to attend public dinner, pray be very
careful how you behave or it may cost
you your life, is the injunction of a
writer in London Answers. A public
dinner in Fiji is a grand affair, and
all the guests give a hand in feeding
the oven or stirring the pot. A floor
of clean leaves is covered with coco
nuts, on which are heaped baked taro
and yams-like a large potato-to the
amount of several tons. The next tier
comprises a well oiled pudding in
green leaves" called "vakalolo." Baked
turtles are next heaped on top of these
buildings or two or three hogs baked
whole
At one public dinner in Fiji there
were fifty tons of vans, fifteen tons of
vakalolo buildings, seventy turtles, five
carloads of yagona and 200 tons of I'M
cooked vans.
A chief, having eaten a coconut
without offering a piece to one of his
followers, the latter went over to the
enemy and singled out his former mas
ter in their next battle. Asking for
mercy, the stern reply was, Don't you
recollect the nut at the last public din
ner? For that you die"
Another chief once sat with his IA
ther-in-law and on passing dish Of
cooked fish, he broke off bit of its
tail. a dark scowl covered the rela-
tives face, and before many hours
were passed, he slew his son-in-law,
having first minated that he was in
suited by being offered a broken tail.

young man, with the merest apology
for a blush.
"My boy, what-what do you sup

ears?'
"0h, that's all right, pater," blurted

The tropical cyclone is a real cy-
clone. That is, it is the same sort of
thing as the ordinary cyclonic air
movements which bring most of our
storms here in the eastern United
States; but in the tropics these move
ments are smaller in circumference,
incomparably greater in strength
and fortunately much less frequent in
occurrence. Often in a given region
like the West Indies there will be such
a storm only once in two or three
years. The weather bureau will usual
ly note the storm after it has started
and will send warning to ships in it's
path by wireless. The ships usually
make port. Those overtaken by the
storm are almost invariably destroyed.
The islands that are struck by it suf-
fer most. Ships in the harbors are
thrown up on the beach, houses are
blown down and banana and coconut
groves that have taken years to grow
are destroyed in a moment,

Longest World Tunnels.

Among the longest tunnels in the
world is the Alberg tunnel under the
Alps which is six and three-quarters
miles long, the Detroit News states.
The Gunnison tunnel in Colorado is
six miles long, and the Hoosac tunnel
in Massachusetts is four and three
quarters miles long. The Mont Cents,
in Italy and France. is eight miles
long.
The Croton water tunnel in New
York is 331s miles long, while the tun-
mel which drains the Freiberg mines,
in Saxony, is 311a miles long. The St.
Clair tunnel, connecting Sarnia, Ont,
with Port Huron, Mich, is two miles
long, and the Strawberry tunnel in the
Wasatch mountains is 80 miles long.

Encourage the Swallow.

If you want to free the neighbor-
hood of mosquitoes encourage swallows
to make themselves at home, says the
American Forestry association of
Washington. These birds feed almost
entirely upon obnoxious insects and
they will do much toward protecting
orchards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins and other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin is
the largest, the male being entirely
blue above and below, while the female
is blue above with a gray breast. Swal-
lows are highly migratory, most of
them spending the winter in South
America.

LIVE APART FROM THE WORLD
as Were Their Ancestors Thou
sands of Years Ago.

Many of the natives in the north
man. A bulletin of the National Geo.
graphic society says that they are liv-
ing among the hills today much as did
their ancestors centuries ago, wor-
Shipping mythical gods in the rocks and
trees on every mountaintop, keeping
their women in semi-slavery, and dy-
ing in ignorance of the world beyond
their narrow confines. After the Rus
so-Japanese war of 1904 the country
was opened to foreigners, and the ex-
poration of the northern part pro-
crossed by leaps and bounds, until
the only extensive unknown area lay
along the north central boundary, be-
tween the Tumen and Yalu rivers.
The old walls of the ancient city of
Musan bear five centuries of history.
Few white men have wandered inland
to the gates of this city, and except
for a few stragglers it lies unknown
to the western world. The great CEN
trail palace or reception hall, remains
intact, and close by. in palatial ruins,
is the temple guest-hOuSe. The small
err public buildings the gates, thd
watch towers and, most of all, the
walls themselves, have their own Pc
culiar fascination, telling their own
story or adding a chapter to that of its
neghbor.
The Koreans believe the blood of a
deer or any wild animal, if drunk
when warm, to be splendid tonic.
Tigers claws, whiskers, bones and
teeth are especially valuable, and prep
arationS made from these materials
were often given to soldiers before a
battle or any especially hazardous en-
terprise, since they were believed to
induce great bravery.

Weighing Ice at Home.

A close estimate of the weight of
ice can be reached by multiplying to-
gether the length, breadth and thick
ness Of the block in inches, and divid-
ing the product by 30. This will be
very closely the weight in pounds.
Thus, if block is 10 by 10 by 8, the
product is 900 and this divided by 80
gives 30 pounds, as correct weight. A
block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs 20 pounds.
This simple method can be easily APP
piled, and it may serve to remove I'M
just suspicious, or to detect short
weight.
