Wind and Souno.

A government scientist gives an in
teresting explanation of the action Of
the wind In preventing the spread of
sound.
1t Is, he claims, not the wind, as
such, that prevents sound from trav-
cling against 1t, but difference In the
strength of the wind. If, for instance,
the wind Is stronger above than be-
low. or stronger at one side, its ef-
feet will be to tilt the sound waves
In one direction or another. Differ
ences of temperature in the air also
cause DETECTION Of the waves of sound.
Other atmospheric causes exist which
defect sound from straight course
and prevent II from going as far In
a certain direction as it may have
been expected to go.
Some Of the sirens in this country,
1t appears, produce sounds which
ought theoretically to be audible at a
distance of 1900 miles, but. in fact,
the authorities are satisfied II they
are heard only two miles away. The
reason for the discrepancy between
calculation and experiment was prob
ably atmospheric DETECTION Of the
sound.

Vaccinating Sugar Cane.

The vaccination or inoculation OF
plants in the bitterly waged fight
against their diseases will appeal as
a novel idea to many who have al
ways thought of the method In con-
nectiOn with the prevention Of human
and animal maladies only. A measure
of success has attended Its use by the
Office of foreign seed and plant intro
duction, Washington. D. c., reports
Popular Mechanics, In the evolution
Of variety of sugar cane which will
be immune to the commoner forms
of disease peculiar to the plant, and
especially the sO-called mosaic dis
ease, which has recently made Its APP
pearance on the sugar plantations.
Seedlings from the inoculated specl-
mems will be tested for immunity, and
II the experiment is the success 1t
Is hoped 1t will he 1t is thought that

Egypt, his country was the richest
and most powerful in the world, the
great center of trade and the leader
in letters and arts. The last indepen-
dent ruler of Egypt, Cleopatra, had
the ohelisk transferred from Heliopo-
lis, the old capital, to Alexandria,
thereby giving it its present name.
With the fall of ancient civilizations
the old buildings of Egypt decayed and
everything about that country was for

Maybe "Grace" Widow.

Divorced women. or those who are
separated from their husbands, are
called "grass Widows" 1t is said that
this originated from an English rural
term. grass mare" meaning horse
that has been turned out to pasture.
Some claim that 1t Is derived from
"grace widow" meaning that the wom-
an Is widow by courtesy Of law or
agreement but not by the death of her
husband.
The expression was first used in this
country in 1s49 when so many men
went to California at the time of the
gold strike and left their wives at
home.
In England the word Is one Of dis
repute, being applied to former mis-
tresses or unmarried mothers.

AGE OF CLEOPATRA's NEEDLE
ObeIisk In New York Park Was Erected
In Egypt Before the Birth
Of Moses.

Cleopatra's Needle, which stands In
Central park, New York city, was
given to the United States by Egypt
and was transported here at the ex-
pense of the late w. ii. Vanderbilt. 1t
was erected I'm 1881. The crabs it
stands upon are replicns of the
originals, which are in the Metropoli-
tan museum. In the museum, too, a
model is to be seen showing how the
,Obelisk was lowered and raised into
position. 1t Is sixty-seven feet high
and weighs 1S0 tons.
Gazing at II, it is hard to realize that
when 1t was erected Moses had not
been born, that not one being in Europe
could read or write, indeed that
Greece. Rome, England had never even
been heard of. remarks the Detroit
News

MytholoolcaI Birds,

The Australian thick-headed shrike
is about six inches long, rlch-yellow

variety of French and New Latin
names.
In the mythology Of some low tribes
such as the Caribs, Brazilians, Har-
yey Islanders, Karens, Bechunas and
Basutos there are legends of flap
ping or flashing thunder bird, which
seem to translate into myth the

ously bruised, and Jackson sus-
tanned several severe bruises, but
no bones were broken. He mount

the driver Of the car stopped only
long enough to tie the horse to a

Week" Is
To Be Observe
By Merchants

Next week will be known as "Silk
Week" throughout the entire ma
tion. Merchants handling dress
goods will feature it in their win
dow displays and advertisements
Fashion plates and style magazines
win carry the prevailing styles In
silk in an endeavor to make 1t the
supreme material for dress.
The Salem public library has SET
aside a number of special books
and magazines for those who wish
to study the manufacture, the de-
signing and the merchandising OF
silk goods. There also are special
articles in the current number d
Elite styles, Ladies Home Journal
Woman's Home Companion and
the DeIineator. The books are:

The United States today leads this
world in the manufacture of silk
having produced 5O0,O00,00t
worth last year. The center Of ths
industry in this country is arount
Paterson, New Jersey, although tbs
first silk mill was built In 1910 a.
Mansfield, Connecticut.
In 264O B. c.. the Chinese started
to manufacture silk cloth. For 8
long time that country held the
secret, but in 323 B. c. Alexander
the Great, during his visit to India
learned the secret there from ar
Indian prince who had married q
Chinese princess. The knowledge
of how silk was made thus reached
Europe and from thence in the last
zoo years to the United States.
