WHY FRANKLIN WORE NO WIG
According to Thls Story, Quaker SIM
pIicity Had Nothing to Do With
the Matter.

Benjamin Franklin was about to
be presented to the French king on
the occasion of his first visit to
France in the capacity of representa-
tive from the lfew America. The
court custom of the time demanded
that one going to an audience with
the king must wear wig of the
proper fashion. A count, who mad
Franklin in tow, sent a wigmaker
the day before to take Franklin's
measure and fit him out for the au-
diencc. The wigmaker arrived at
Franklin's lodgings, measured the
poll of the great American fore and
aft and round and about, and took
his departure. An hour before the
audience the wigmaker returned
with the wig. But when Franklin
attempted to put it on it would not
fit; he couldn't begin to get it on his
head "Sir," said Franklin to the
wigmaker, "your wig is umfortunatc-
ly too small for my head"
"Pardonncz moi, monsieur" re-
piled the wigmaker, "your head is
vastly TOO large and quite beyond
the fashion Of the court"
Franklin appeared, therefore, at
court with his bald pate and shaggy
gray hair.

GRAZING IN NATIONAL FORESTS

The demand for range on the ma.
tional forests was greater the last
year than ever before in the history
of the forest service, which branch
of the United States department of
agriculture has control Of these
tracts. Especially in the drought
stricken regions, stockmen using the
unrcscryed public domain or private
pastures eagerly sought forest per-
mits in order to save their stock.
The value Of the system Of range
regulation in use has been so thor
oughly demonstrated that represent
ative stockmcn from all the Western
states have declared emphatically in
favor of placing the remaining un-
reserved public lands under federal
control and having them managed
under plan similar to that in ef-
feet on the national forests.

MAKES SALVAGE WORK EASIER
Device Likely to Play Important Part
In the Recovery of Ships
Sunk by Germans.

An interesting public demonstra-
ton Of its burrowing machine given
at New York by the Saligcr Ship
Salvage corporation promises much
in the salvage of sunken ships. This
novel device has the ability to navi-
gate through the ground, like sub
marine navigates through the wa
ter, but, unlike the submarine, it
has no pilot aboard. 1t is directed
and controlled by an operator from
a distance. Its purpose is to drag
lifting cables through the ocean bot
tom under sunken ships.
In appearance it resembles pair
Of torpedoes, placed tandem, with
blade propellers in front and
ailcron ruddcrs at the opposite end.
1t was started into a huge pile of
gravel, head down, and reappeared
again at distance, having bur-
rowed its way in a half circular
course through the gravel, dragging
the cable behind it.
The burrowing machine is the in
vcntion of A. r. Saliger, president
of the Saligcr Ship Salvage corpora
ton, and it seems destined to play
an important part in the recovery OF
many Of the ships sunk by the Ger
man submarines.

PIGEONS IN FORESTRY.

During the recent severe forest
fires in certain sections Of the West,
carrier pigeons were successfully en-
ploycd TO convey messages from the
fire fighters "at the front" to head
quarters, says the American For
cstry Magazine Of Washington. The
test of the birds for this use was on
a limited scale, but has encouraged
the forest service officials to believe
that they can be employed profita-
bly, on larger scale.
Flights Of 60 miles in single day
have been made, while a distance
of 40 to goo miles means two or
thrcc-hour flight for the average
bird.

DETERMINING STAR COLOR.

A new means of determining star
colors, devised by DR.. f. S. King,
is described in the Journal of the
British Astronomical association.
Over the telescope objective is
placed piece Of plate glass (com-
mcrcial glass is good enough for the
purposc), which is coated with a
gelatin film, one-half Of which is
stained yellow and the other half
blue. The images Of the stars are
then photographed out Of focus on
isochromatic plates. Each image,
therefore, appears as disk, one por-
ton Of which shows the effect of the
blue light, and the other the effect
Of the yellow light. The two halves
Of the image are then compared by
means Of a Photographic wedge or
by some similar means.

OIL FOR PARIS.

The French government has ap-
proved the building Of a double pipe
line for oil between 1[avrc and
Paris, $50 miles. One Of the lines
of tcn-inch diameter will be used for
heavy fuel oils, and the other, a
smaller pipe line Of fohr inches, for
petroleum and motor spirit. 1t is
estimated that 4,50O tons of heavy
and 1000 tons Of light oil and spirit
can be pumped through these lines
daily, thus helping to meet the prob
lem Of the coal supply Of Paris. 1t
is hoped to complete the lines in
time for next winter.

An African PompeiI.

During the war archaeological ex-
cavations were continued at the 1tal-
ian colony of Cyrenaica on the North
African coast, and now comes the
news that what has been found al
ready promises the uncovering of an
other ancient city as important as
Pompeii. Once upon a time the spot
was a Greek colony, with the civili-
cation of Greece transplanted to the
soil of Africa. The work has been
carried on during the war under the
supervision of Lucio Mariani, director
Of the archaeological services Of the
ministry of colonies, and the predic-
ton is now made that the newly dis
covered city will eventually prove &C

Farmers Of the SEWER Valley Gladly
/ Deprived Themselves Of Precious
Liquid to Save Crops OF the
Less Fortunate.

It had been the hottest and driest
summer ever recorded on the Pahvant
plains in western Utah. More water
than ever before was needed for the
Pahvant crops; but as the previous
winter had been recorded as having
an extremely light snowfall, the late
summer flow of the Sewer river (pro-
nounced severely from the snow
stores of the Wasatch mountains, was
at minimum.
Therefore In spite Of rigid water
economy there was an insufficient sup
ply to mature the crops In that re-
giOn. Early in the season it became
apparent that if some good rains did
not come at timely intervals there
would be widespread devastation OF
the crops: and despite the earnest
hopes of the people, the windows OF
the sky remained sealed so far as the
rain was concerned. and the brassy
skies drank up every speck OF mois-
ture everywhere. even draining the
reservoir dry month before the po-
tatoes and beets were matured. The
apples fell to the ground withered.
and the alfalfa stubble could not send
out the shoots for the third crop Of
