WHY BRICK CHIMNEYS LEAN
Reason Generally Ascribed Is Alter
nate Wetting and Drying to
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder. alter
nately wetting and drying a board to
bend it to the desired shape, and the
house chimney, grotesquely leaning to-
ward the east, brick masons say there
Is similarity. The leaning chimney is
a subject on which even the doctors
disagree. but the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chimneys lean toward the east. A.
little observation anywhere will prove
this. Even the best-built affair of
brick and mortar, acquiring age, often
begins to lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best.
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night. on all sides.
Now, If the broad side of the chimney
is toward the east, and If the sun
strikes that part Of the chimney first,
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side, or the western
side. In time of rainfall, the east side
ordinarily is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect Of
pulling the chimney toward the east.

WORK or ITALIAN ARTISTS
Men of Genius Engaged to Decorate
the Capitol in the City of
Washington.

Most of the decorations in the capt.
toll at Washington are the work of
Italian artists, according to an article
by Professor Enrico Sartorio, in an
italian magazine published in New
York.
The dome was decorated by a young
italian painter, Pietro Bonani, who
had previously worked in Rome and
Carrara, and who died in 1919, short
~ after the completion of his work
in Washington. The cast of the statue
of liberty was done by Causici, who
died before he could put it into mar
bic, and the spread eagle under the
statue was carved by another Italian,
Valaperti.
AS the hall of representatives
neared completion in 1906 Giuseppe
FranzOni and Giovanni Andrea, sculp-
tors, were brought over from Italy.
The former was skilled in figures and
the latter in decorative sculpture, but
their work was destroyed when the
capitol was burned by the British dur
ing the War of 1912. When work was
resumed, Andrea was sent to Italy to
engage SculptOrS proficient in model
ing figures, and it vas probably then
that Francisco Iardella and Carlo
F%ranZoni, brother of Giuseppe, were
engaged. The clock in Statuary hall
was begun by Franzoni and completed
by Iardella.
AS the capitol neared completion a
larger number of artists was needed,
and most of them were brought Over
from Italy. 1t was then, in 1923, that
Enrico Causici and Antonio Capelano,
pupils of CanOva, arrived. The sculp-
tured portraits of Columbus, Raleigh,
CabOt and LaSalle, and the groups
representing the landing of the Pill
grims, P%ocahontas rescufng Capt. John
Smith, and some others are by them.
Valaperti, who was a man of some
prominence in his profession, also
came over at this time,
In 1896, Luigi Persico arrived in
Washington. The large allegOrical
group IN tne pOrtlcO OF the rOtunda is
his and also the statues of War and
Peace on either side of the doorway.
AT the foot Of the west stairway there
is a bronze bust of a Chippewa chief
by Vincent. There are also many
frescOes by Constantine Brumidi and
some by Castigni, the two having been
employed together on the large fresco
on the rotunda, illustrating in pseudo
relief the periods in the history of the
continent. Brumidi, who painted many
Of the f%rescOes in the Vatican at
Rome, as well as in the capitol in
Washington, came to America in 1849.
In 1853 he became q citizen, and in
1859 he was entrusted with the deco
ration of the capitol.

Canada's Maple Products.

Not all of the maple products pro-
duced in Canada are consumed by the
Canadian people. Take the year 1919
for which the statistics of exports in
detail are available. During that year
there were exported from Canada A.
7O3,366 pounds of maple sugar, having
a value of $1,O62,S 1915. Nearly all of
this went to the United States, name
ly, 4,412,178 pounds. Great Britain
took 1920 pounds, and France 49,
465 pounds. The other purchases
were very small, such as 400 pounds
to Bermuda, 10 to Australia, 81 to
Newfoundland, 10 to st. Pierre and
Miquelon, Al to Norway and $500 to
Russia.
Of maple strip, $3.50 gallons were
exported, having a value Of $12,202.
Great Britain took 1886 gallons and
the United States 1860 gallons.
France took SO5 gallons-Montreal

James Fenimore Cooper.

James Fenimore Cooper, the first
American novelist to gain a reputa-
ton in Europe, studied at Yale, but
he was not a close student and in his
third year was asked to leave the
college. He then joined the navy,
where he gained knowledge and ex-
perience that he later used to make
his sea tales realistic. He married
n retired from the navy just be-
fore the War of 1912, engaging in
farming. One day, while reading aloud
an English novel, he boosted to his
wife than he could write q better novel
than many of those appearing at that
time. SO he produced "PrecautiOn," a
commonplace story of English high
life, of which Cooper knew nothing.
Advised to turn to adventure in his
own country, he wrote "The Spy" in
1921 and published it at his own ex-
pense. On it's appearance he was at
once recognized as a novelist of force.
In the twenty years that followed
he brought out many novels, including
those stirring sea tales, "The Pilot"
and "The Red Rover" Among his
more popular books are the Deer
slayer" "The Last of the Mohicans,"
1.-THE Pathfinder" ""The Pioneer and
"The Prairie" Many consider "The
Last of the Mohicans" the best of the
series.

'TlPPECANoE AND TYLER, roo
Election RaIlyino Cry That Figured
in Election of William Henry
Harrison as President.

"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," was
the rallying cry of the Wings in the
election of 1910. William Henry Har-
risOn was the choice of the Wings.
The Wings adopted no platform, and
the only issue was whether or not the
J~ackson-Van Buren, machine" should
remain in power. Even among the
Democrats there was much discomfort.
To attract this discontinued element,
the Wings nominated for vice president
John Tyler of Virginia, who was a
well-knowp a~nti-Jackson Democrat.
The campaign was the most exciting
the United States had seen up to that
time. Harrison's election was attrjb-
uted to his military record. The cleo
ton is often called "the log cabin and
hard cider campaign" One end Of
HarrisOn's house at North Bend was
IN. old log cabin which had been COW
cred with clapboards. A campaign
biography said that Harrison's table,
instead of being covered with excit-
ing wines, is we'll supplied with the
best cider" AT first this simplicity re-
ceived jeering from the Democrats,
but the Wings seized the opportunity
to make the democracy of their candi-
date a feature of the anvas Minia-
ture log cabins and barrels of hard
cider generally were in appearance
whenever a Wing orator spoke. Har-
rison received pa electoral votes to
60 for Van Buren,.

Hiuh Price Paid for Violin.

A very fine violin by Antonius
Stradivari, known in the musical
world as the muir Mackenzie Strad,"
was sold for Fl, 700 at Messrs Puttick
and Simpsons. Dated 1894, the
"Strad' is in excellent preservation.
Purchased from Mr.. Harrison about
1896 by Lady Muir Mackenzie, it was
presented to Sir John Muir Macken-
zie, and thus derived it's modern title.
This instrument was of the longer
and earlier type, writes a Daily

Harrington sold one for 1850. The
highest price paid for a "Strad" of
the "grand pattern" was $1,000, I'm

Explains Earth,s ORIGIN.

Astronomy teaches some strange
things, and none more strange than
that the origin of the earth, is itself
but a speck in a system that in turn
is but a speck in the whole. 1t is be-
lieved, and there seems to be album
Gant scientific proof of the theory,
that the origin of a system such as
ours is a mist of cosmical dust that is
born of a nebula, the latter being
what happens when enough Of the
dust is joined in a vast whirling mass.
The young star contracts SO rapidly
that it is SOC white hot and of daz-
zling light, such as Sirius. AS it cools
the vapOrs of calcium and iron appear
and it becomes yellow. Our sun is
such a star, and another is Arcturus.
Still later it turns red, such as Mira,
and in time, billions of years, 1t will
die altogether.

that she had no money except a five

was about half through with the job,

bill so that he could get his pay.
"No'm," he replied, II CANT. But I
en- git it changed over at de grocery
sto'e." The woman hesitated, trying
to decide whether to take a chance.
Don you worry, missus," the darby
assured her. "TlL come back wild de
