has been cut by machine into thin
layers and glued together again in
such a way that the grain of one layer
runs at an angle to the grain Of two
adjacent layers The strength of a
plywood panel. in two planes. greatly
exceeds that of steel. With some wood,
by combining cuts. it is even possible
to get greater resistance to stress in
all three planes than steel affords,
though it is rarely necessary to go SO
far. Ordinary wood used for airplane
construction is not required to with
stand severe stresses in move than

A Communal Mind.

Certain things In animal life lead me
to suspect that auimals have some
means OF communication with one an
other, especially the gregarious AMI.
mails. that Is quite Independent Of
what we mean bv language 1t Is like
an interchange or blending OF sub
conscious states. and may be analo-
gous to telepathy among human beings.
Observe what u unit a flock OF birds
becomes when performing their evo-
lutions In the air. They are not many,
but one, turning and flashing In the
sun with unity and precision that
II would be hard to initiate. One may
see n flock of shore birds that behave
as one body; now they turn to the
sun sheet of silver; then. as their
dark backs are presented to the be.
holder, they almost disappear against
the shore or In the clouds. II would
seem MS n they all shared In com.
munal mind or spirit. and that what
one felt they all felt at .he same In.

HAD NO USE FOR FAIR SEX
St. COLUMBIA, Even in Fanatieal Age,
Carried His Aversion to Woman
kind to Excess.

Iona, which is one of the Hebrides
group of islands off the coast Of Scot
land. long ago suffered the distinction
Of being a land without women.
During the middle ages the island
was given to st. Columbia. the patron
saint Of Argyle, by Christian. the king
Of the northern Scots. The holy man
built chapel with his own hands and
established mission station from
which to send out missionaries to the
heather Picts. Then, in order to make
sure that his island was holy place,
he decreed that no woman should set
foot upon its shores. He carried this
prohibition against the weaker sex
even to the length of refusing to al
low a COW to be kept on the island.
A difficulty arose in the fact that
many Of the converts which he made
among the heather had wives and re-
fused to be separated from them. To
obvlate this difficulty another island a
couple Of miles away was set apart as
a home for the wives Of the faithful.
On Iona watch tower was built,
from which the island of females was
constantly watched to see that no
woman left 1t. Legend says that post
Of watchman was In great demand
among the brothers.
Later the good saint left Iona, and
an abbess and nuns moved in.
II is curious fact that when. many
years after st. COLUMBIA had gone to
his reward. pilgrimage was made
to the island Of Iona. about two-thirds
Of the 1000 pilgrims who went there
were OF the sex that does not mind
being hated or feared. but cannot
stand indifference.-Niksah in Chicago

until he reached the boiling point and
was glad when she left. She would
not receive another invitation to look
at his stock, he resolved. Yet his love
did not diminish, in spite of her cruel
treatment. Rather, 1t was intensified.
Armen's cogitations were interrupted
by the telephone bell.
'This is Mrs. Turpenning," said q
woman's voice on the wire. i've de-
cided to take the Kermansha. l have

I'm anxious for them to see it. VIII
you have 1t sent right up?" She gave
the address.
Armen was glad Of the excuse to get
away from the shop and the vicinity
of Araxia's home. He rolled the rug
carefully-almost tearfully, for he was
lOath to part with it-and went out
to the street.
1t was necessary to 60 past the Al
toonjlan apartments, on the other side
Of the street; and he resolved not to
look in that direction, for fear he might
see his idol in company with Doctor
Azaad. Just as he was uttering a sigh
Of satisfaction because he had got past
without yielding to the desire to look,
he heard cry and automatically
turned to ascertain the cause.
A tall, well-built young Armenian
had stumbled from the stairway Of the
A!toonjian building and was shouting
Help! help!" And as Armen watched,
the alarmist went racing up the street
In panic, while series of screams
sounded from the rooms Of the ba-
zaar.
Some one else started to run. 1t
was Armen DOomborijian, and his
course lay across the street. Lugging
the heavy rug, he hustled into the
stairway and up the flight.
Into the Altoonjian living room Ar
men staggered, weak from the quick
climb, burdened as he was with the
rug. There was no one in sight, but a
scream from the kitchen lured him in
that direction. He burst through the
doorway to be greeted by horrifying
sight.
Araxia was running from the kitch-
en-, her hands wildly and Intellectually
beating at her burning clothes. The
floor also was blazing near the gas
stove, and 1t flashed into Armen's mind
that the girls dress must have become
ignited while she was trying to ex-
tinguish the other flame. A pepper
containing some popped corn showed
what she had been doing.
When Doctor Azaad returned from
his quest for help, bringing several
startled persons, including Mr. and
Mrs. Altoonjian. he found Araxia lying
on a davenport sobbing Historically,
her arms about the neck of Armen
Doomborijian, rug merchant.
With one hand Armen patted her
head, trying to sOothe her, while the
other held an object at which he now
and then cast rueful glance out of
the corners of his eyes.
The object in question had once been
a Kermansha rug valued at 5000, but
now 1t would not bring $25, it was so
badly charred and burned.
