the statement by his British publishers

Birds and ShelIHsh.

The English thrush brings its snails
to a certain convenient stone, on which
1t will crack their shells by beating
them upon it. Some sea birds carry
shellfish to a height and drop them on
the rock to break their shells, but this
brings only the anvil into use, not the
hammer. The case Of the wasp Is the
only one which records the seemingly
intelligent use of q tool to accomplish
a given purpose.

Thermometer Deterioration.

Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age. mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former ase the bulb appears to shrink,
thus forcing the quicksilver too far up
the stem. This gradual %shrinkage is
supposed to be due to the fact that the
external pressure On the bulb may be
considerably higher than the internal
pressure, the air as far as possible hav-
ing been removed before the glass is
sealed. On the other hand, the spir-
it thermometer is sealed with the bulb
covered in a freezing mixture, in order
to lock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which in
time appears to be reduced either by
expansion Of the glass under the in
ternal pressure or by leakage.-Scien-

AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Three and onehaf million children in Eastern and Central Europe have
10 alternative to disaster between O. and next harvest except American aid
For months these most helpless sufferers in the track OF war have been adj
mHted to American feedngstatons only if tagcaly undernoudshed, and
ave received American medical aid only If desperately threatened by death
from disease
their boundaries. Economic and crp conditions make famine, with its
terrible train of diseases, a certain visitor until next harvest. Inevitably the
helpless children will suffer most. No child can grow to health and sanity on
the ptful makeshfts for food with which millions of European adults must
conent themselves this winter. 1t is obvious hat the remedy cal come only
from outside. %
recuperaton cut the need nearly in half last year, but unusual conditions have
resulted In scant shnnkageo Of child restitution during the twevemonth just
past. The response OF America must o. decide whether 100000 of these
charges, in acute Distress shall begin to be turned away in January from
on American support. There would be n o tragedy n history so sweeping or
so destructive If those who cal deserve n evil.
The undersigned organizations, working among every race and creed,
many engaged also in other forms Of relief, agree unanimously that the
plight of these helpless children should have complete priority in oversee
charity until the situation is met. This is al issue without politics and
without religious lines. There al be no danger of pauperizauon, for the

seek, will relieve only the critical cases The medical supplies, Of course

The . Wav.

The Appian way is the oldest and
most famous of the Roman military
roads. 1t was commenced by Appius
Claudius Caecus, while censor, in 312
B. c., and originally extended from the
POrta Capena at Rome to Capua, a
distance Of 100 miles. In 80 B. c., the
Appian way was continued to Brum-
disium, 800 miles from Rome. By
means Of it's branches it connected
Rome with all southern Italy. Dur
ing the rule of Pope Plus TX (1S46-
1879 a part of this road, extending
about eleven miles out of Rome, was
laid bare. 1t is remarkable for it's
pavement, which consists of large hex
agOnal blocks of basalt; but more
especially for the ruins of the once
magnificent tombs that line it's side.
The central part of the roadway, 16
feet wide, was designed for the pas
sage of infantry, while the two side
passages, each also 16 feet wide, were
used for horsemen and vehicles. The
Romans called the Appian way Regina
Viarum Queen of Roads,.

Powerful MAGNETS.

It is a far cry from lifting a tack
by means of magnetism to the lifting
Of massive iron plates weighing four,
six and twelve tons by this same force,
which is now done every workday in
a number of large steel works. Elec-
tromagnetism, of course, is utilized,
the form of the magnet being usually
rectangular for this work and present
ing a fiat surface to the plates lifted.
The magnets are suspended by chains
from cranes. and pick up the plates
by simple contact. The metal mates
can be lifted by the magnet white still
so hot that it would be impossible for
men to handle them. The ratio of
weight lifted varies with the machine;
in some cases this ratio is 80. \ mag
net is operated by current from a dy-
namo, controlled by switches and rhe-
ostats.

BURIED UNDER MINE TAlLINGs
City of Douthat, in Oklahoma, Over
Nhelmed When Spout DeIused
1t With Crushed Flint.

In tae zinc mining district Of Ok
lahoma, practically unknown even by
the residents of the state in which it
lies, is the hurled city of Douthat.
Surrounding it is one Of the richest
mining camps in the world. The Mon
treal, probably n of the most famous
zinc mines, is in the city, as are also
the properties of several of the lead
ing zinc mining companies of the Uni
ted States.
The city was moi buried by a sud-
den flow of molten lava, as were the
cities of Pompeii, but by the "tailings"
of the mines Of the camp, because, it
is said, of differences between owners
of the mines, and merchants and land
owners of the town. One day the
failing spouts of one of the great
mines was turned on the town, delug-
ing it with crushed flint. The people
moved their homes and business places
in a mad rush to escape the %downpour
Of dust and rock particles. Stores,
cottages, barns and tents had to be
moved, and now where once stood the
thriving city is an immense pile OF
"chat" containing thousands of car
loads. One street and a few dozen
homes only were spared, and here the
thriving business of the little town is
carried on, the once prosperous bust
ness district being now buried under
an immense mountain of crushed
rock.

ONES JOB MUST COME FIRST
Salary Should Be a Secondary Object
for the Man Who Is Anxious to
Advance.

1 have never known a young man to
advance far when he thought much
about his salary while at work, or who
let that salary have anything to do
with the interest he was putting into
his job. The job is the chance, the op-
portunity, to show what you are made
of, to show what you have for sale
your ability, your personality.
If you have something unusual for
sale you may be sure you have what
every employer is always looking for.
If you are alert, enthusiastic, original,
if you try to stamp everything that
goes through your hands with superior
ity, you may be sure that you will
soon find a place at the front with
commensurate salary.
On the other hand, the man who
drags through just enough work to get
by, who gets to his job when he has
to and watches the clock for time to
go home will not see his salary envel-
ope fatten very rapidly.
clubbing owe ones salary has
spoiled many a career. 1t is not what
you are paid for doing, but what you
do that you are not paid for that is
the key to the position above you.
This is almost invariably the case.
The service you render which you are
not obliged to give is the thing that
attracts your employer.-Orison SWEET

BIC Factors IN
TRAINING COLTS
Future Value and Usefulness De-
pend Greatly on Manage
ment While Young.
FIRST GET HIS attention
Education of Horse Is Based on Re.
ward and Punishment-Many Ami
mails Made Vicious and UnreIi-
able by Careiessness.

The breaking and training of colts is
of prime Importance, because their fu-
ture value and usefulness depend to a
great extent on whether or not they
are well broken. BY a broken colt is
meant one that is safe to handle in the
stable or on the road and that will
promptly obey the orders Of the driver
Or rider.
Memory and habit are 1he two main
factors with which we have to deal in
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit, and one of it's great
est characteristics is uniformity Of
conduct. What a horse is once trained
to do he will nearly always do under
like conditions.
Education of Horse.
The first thing in training a horse is
to get his attention. The second is to
make him understand what is wanted.
The education Of the horse is based
ON reward and punishment. The re-
ward, a pat on the neck, ETC., should
Immediately follow the act Of obedi-
CLSC. Liz pulllSLlllCul, " DC CllCSG1NCy
must Immediately follow the act Of
diSobedience.
Few horses are inherently vicious.
Many horses are made vicious and I'M
'':eliable by the carelessness or unnec-
essary brutality Of their trainers. If
a horse kicks because the harness
hurts him, or SHES at something Of
which he is afraid, punishment is not
;justifiable. If, however, after being
stopped, a horse starts before receiv-
ing the command to do so, he should
be punished. Horses are naturally
obedient, and when thoroughly trained
their conduct is uniformly good.
Best Training of Horse.
A horse should be trained SO that he
thinks there is no limit to his power to
do the things required Of him, and be-
lieves that he has no power to do that
which is against the wishes of his
driver. Above all. never ask of a

SHOWING GROWTH OF DOLLAR
How Benjamin Franklin's Request Of
$1,000 to Boston Has Increased
in a Century.

How the dollar invested works for
the Individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
a teacher Of thrift, Benjamin Frank
lin, remarks Worlds Work. In 1901
he bequeathed $1,000 to the common
wealth of Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as a mark Of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at the Handsome
salary of $4,000. And to make his be-
quest really valuable, with his great
foresight Franklin provided in his will
that this f1,O00 should be put out at 5
per cent interest for 100 years; that at
the end Of that time 31-131 Of the fund
accumulated should again be put out
at interest for another hundred years
and then the fund be divided one
fourth to Boston and three-fourths to
the state.
Let us see how well that $1,000 of
Franklin's has worked. At the end of
the first hundred years it had grown to
$431,383.62. 1t was then divided in ac-
cordance with the will; ~$329,3O0.4S
was set aside for public work" and
S102,O95.l5 was started on it's course
Of earning interest for another hun
bred years. That was in 1891. On
Jan. /, 1918, this sum had grown to
$267,SO5.15 and at this rate Of in
crease the fund should amount to at
least $6,000,000 when the second Pc
Rod is completed, and may be consid-
erably more.
