Electricity to Locate Oil.

New uses for electricity are con-
stantly appearing. One of the latest
is the detection of crude oil in the
earth instead of boring for it. 1t is
stated that crude petroleum has been
located electrically in the shallow oil
field d-near Corsicana, Tex, and that
further tests are being made around
Burkburnett. A series of batteries is
used for the test, the negative ter
minal being connected to a wire
which is dropped into dry waterhole,
valley or indentatiOn, and the positive
terminal being connected to a "land
WIRE" which is used to make contact
at various points on the surface Of
the field investigated. 1t is stated
that the higher electrical resistance
of oil compared with other constitu-
ents of the earth, permits it to be To-
Gated by the reduced detection of a
sensitive instrument in the circuit.

The "chapel railway coaches, with

Mussulmans All the rest Of the roll
ing stock was obtained from countries
outside Turkey, but the mosque car
was built in COnstantinople.
1t was externally distinguished by
a minaret about eight feet high pro-
jecting from the roof; the walls were
inscribed with verses of the Koran,
and at one end a large compass was
hung, indicating the direction of the
holy city.
Pilgrims to Mecca were thus able to
conduct their devotions with full pomp

DIET AND MENTAL HEALTH

The vitality Of plants. the muscular
activity of all animals. and the mental
as well as muscular and organic health
and vigor Of man, depend on phosphor-
US. These are legitimate inferences
from facts. presented clearly. as you
shall see, in the organization of plants,
animals, anil man.
In grains, and all seeds, the phos-
pilates which give vitality, and fur
nish food for brain and nerves, reside
in the germ or "chit, while the fixed
phosphates, which are used in build
ing bones. ETC., are mixed with gluten
in the crust under the hull.
That the phosphates are concentrat-
ed in the germ of all seeds, and that
they vary in different seeds, is easily
ascertained by chemical tests applied
to the grain or seed. The process is
very simple, and the discovery of it
very important. 1t can be shown just
the proportion of phosphates, nitrates,
or carbonates each seed contains and
therefore which is best adapted to feed
the muscle, and which to feed the
brain, and give vitality, and which to
furnish heat.
1t has been found that some seeds
and some grains contain two or three
times as much phosphates as others.
Wheat, for example, contains two per
cent, while millet contains four per
cent. Grass seed contains from SIX to
seven per cent, and some seeds, as clo-
yer and herdsgrass contain from sew
en to nine per cent. In all seeds, and
roots and nuts, which germinate from
chits or eyes, the phosphates centre
about these eyes, and what is not found
there is always found connected with
the muscle-making part of the grain
or fruit, showing that the phosphates
are connected with vitality and the life
giving principle.
The same thing can be seen in an
Iimals by a test of their flesh, and by
their manner Of living. The flesh oi
Iquadrupeds, and birds, and fishes con-
tain phosphorus in just the proper
ton to their natural activity, wild an.
finals much more than domestic. The
most active birds, like the pigeon anc
the migrating birds, much more thar
domestic fowls, and quiet and lazy
birds. The migrating fishes, whose
astonishing muscular power enables
them to swim up rapids and over falls
contain more phosphates than th'
founder and haibut, which are clum
sy and comparatively dormant.

LOANS TO ALLIES
GONE UP THE SPOUT

Washington. - Because they fear
that any serious demand for payment
of interest and principal due on the al
lied war loan would further increase
the price of American dollars abroad.
discouraging the export Of
American goods to Europe, President
Harding and his advisors have deter
mined to do nothing toward collection.
They have failed to induce Congress
to be the political "goat" of a refund
ing scheme, yet they are assured that
Congress will wink at policy Of nom
collection. The treasury now anticips-
ted getting less than SIS, 100000, in-
stead Of the $225,0O0,OO0 in interest
on the allied debt this year.
This shortage in collections makes
the need for taxation program more
critical than before.

NO SYSTEM CAN BEAT BANK
But Certain Old Lady Surely ''Threw
Scare" Into the Monte
Carlo Authorities.

Lord Rosslyn, and other frequenters
Of Monte Carlo, who are said to be
racking their brains to invent a sys-
tenn to 'break the bank" may as well
save themselves the trouble, for, as NJ.
Blanc, founder of the gaming tables,
0nce truly said: "Red wins some
times, black often, but Blanc (white)
always, and in defiance of every sys-
tenn human ingenuity can devise"
'There never has been a system"
the directors said to an interviewer
not long ago, according to London An
swers, (which has given us a mo-
ment's anxiety-save one, and that
one system was the discovery Of an
old lady who had freQuented the
tables for years. She hadvnoticed that
at roulette certain numbers always fol-
lowed each other. Thus, If the Group
Ter spun with the number nine opposite
him, 26 was certain to be next; and
if zero was in the same position, 80
would surely follow. After checking
her observations day after day, she
began to play, and wOn-won in all
100000 francs, breaking the bank
three times. The officials were in de-
spair. NJ. Blanc was summoned from
Paris, and, as a desperate resource, he
persuaded the old lady to part with
her secret for 10000 francs down.
'The secret was absurdly simple
after all. The roulette wheel had be-
come warped by the heat, and was not
quite round, so that when spun from
a certain point, it invariably stuck at
a certain other point"
