REAL TREAT FOR IMMIGRANTS
Ice Cream Something New to Arrivals
at Ellis Island, but They
Finally Liked 1t.

Immigrant struggles with American
food on Ellis Island reached climax
when Commissioner Wallis introduced
plates Of ice cream to the LOO diners.
The idea behind the ice cream was to
give the immigrants a real treat on
their reaching the land of promise.
What happened was marvel to wit
ness. The first persons served were
Balkin native and a native Of
East India. The East Indian took
lick and liked it. He looked around
and saw that the Balkan opposite him
had bigger piece. Greedily he
grabbed for it. Then the fight began.
Both got we'll smeared in the face with
the food.
The other diners touched the ice
cream, and finding it cold, thought
they knew the trick. The stunt was
to smear the cold substance on your
neighbours face. This happened sew
eral times. Then someone tasted the
ice cream and with whoop an
nounced it was mama too precious to
be wasted on countenances. The hea@
steward said the same thing in the
eight languages he speaks. The face.
smearing ceased abruptly.
But the final experiment was vet
to be made. The real genius of the
meal took up his knife and a piece Of
bread and spread the new butter ten
derly over it. He started the fashion
with a bang, and all the rest enjoyed
their ice cream that way.-New York

Mysterious Feat Of Rats.

Here's another mystery problem to
set beside that of how the Egyptians
built the pyramids. G. W. Young
blood, business man of No. 1875
South Broadway, Los Angeles, is re-
sponsible for it.
Youngblood related that on opening
his office one morning he found that
rats had chewed off the tops of car
nations which were standing in a glass
vase about ii inches high. Accord
ing to the real estate man, the rats
did not move chair next to the vase
and thus reach the succulent stems.
nor was there anything else near by
on which they might have stood. And
he does not believe the rodents could
have climbed the sides of the smooth
vase. Still the flowers suffered heavily.
And to make the problem harder.
Youngblood said that the rats. dis
playing highly developed artistic
sense. carried roses from one desk to
another which lacked posies.. How
did the rats accomplish their task?

BALM FOR RAINY VACATIONS
'Weather Insurance" Designed to
Give Monetary soIace to Travel
ers That Are Unfortunate.

Got all your vacation toys? Got
your fishing> tackle; your round trip
ticket, your mosquito lotion and your
rain insurance?
Yes, there's balm in Gilead at last
for the bitterest of human tragedies.
For there's no denying that rainy
vacation is a worse catastrophe than
a collision of planets, even if the lat
ter involved the wiping out Of all
ones wife's relations.
The balm consists of bet made
with you by an insurance company
that It Won't rain during your vaca-
ton. In other words, you take out a
rain policy for that period. And then,
if it happens to pour cats and dogs all
the time you have the consolation of
collecting a tidy sum Of rain insur-
ance when you return to, town. You
may be so constituted that the money
would fail to console you for the lost
vacation days, but there are other fel-
lows who would pray for rain in order
to beat the company"
The idea comes from England, where
all sorta Of freak assurances are prac-
ticed. Records of the United States
weather bureau are used to figure out
rates based on the probabilities of
precipitation in any given part of the
United States and Canada. One in
surance company points with pride to
the fact that last year it paid SILL
21325 to the Waltham fair on account
of loss due to a rainy day, the fair
corporation having taken out a rain
policy. And the Kansas free fair at
Topeka was protected by a $4,000
rain policy with a British company.

AVERAGE Life Of Auto.

AS highway transportation de-
velops and passenger cars and trucks
become practically the sole means of
road travel, the proportion of first
purchasers of cars and trucks in the
total of car sales will decrease, and
the demand for new cars each year
will become more and more nearly
equal to the number of cars which
drop out of service. For this reason
it is becoming increasingly impor-
tant for the trade to know how many
cars will be required for replacement
Of those withdrawn from service.
Analysis Of registration, production,
export and import figures over a
period of years leads to the con-
clusion that the average life of the
100000 cars retired from service in
the last seven years was about 5.3
years-Scientific American.

New Tombstone.

Austin J. Harnan of Custer, Okla.
has invented what he calls new
and improved tombstone" says the
Columbus Dispatch. 1t is designed to
represent a life-size human figure
standing erect. For instance, it might
lied iron, made hollow, so that the
lower part of it may be filled with
cement to make heavier base. The
body is hollow in order that If de-
sired, it may hold an urn containing
the ashes of the deceased. AS for
the head, it is meant to be screwed
on and may be made likeness of the
person for whom the tombstone is
erected.

RECORDS HUMIDITY IN AIR
Both Temperature and "LivabiIity"
Shown by Twin Thermometer
Likely to Become Popular.

Sensations Of heat or cold, as ex-
perienced by normally healthy per-
son, are caused almost entirely by
the condition of the surrounding
atmosphere. If it is still, damp, and
about Is degrees or more in temper
allure, feeling Of disagreeable heat
and oppression results; while If Of
the same temperature, but dry and in
moderate motion. no discomfort is
felt. The reasons for this are that
dry. moving air takes away bodily
heat about as rapidly as it is gen
Grated. while damp, still air does not.
explains a writer in Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
Therefore in designing an instru-
ment to determine whether atmos-
pheric conditions are conducive TO
bodily comfort, other factors than
temperature must be taken into
account. For this reason the ordinary
dry-bulb thermometer is unreliable
and has been supplemented by another
instrument of the so-called wet-bulb
CvPC, i'll NuICIl Tic UulD Is 1uClOScu LII
a fabric mesh bag which keeps 1t
damp. To use, both bulbs are i'm
mersed in hot water until they register
40 degrees. They are then removed,
and the time required for each to
drop to atmospheric temperature
noted. The wet bulb will always cool
more rapidly than the dry one. This
difference in cooling rates serves to
index the degree of comfort one should
be experiencing, as it roughly indi-
Gates the moisture in the air and
whether or not air is in motion.
