ARRANGE WALL0WS FOR HOGS
Water Must Be Supplied Not Only ~
Drinking but for Animals 70
Cool Bodies.

Hogs in pasture where there is no
water are likely to suffer, not only for
drinking water, but for water in which
to cool their bodies. Stops are not suf-
dcient. The hogs should have water
In their troughs and In the wallow to
cool themselves when the burning rays
of the sun makes their lives a torture.
Hogs have way Of Kidding them
selves Of troublesome parasites when
they have a muddy wallOw. Nature,
It seems, helps them to survive as the
flttest when there is struggle for ex-
istence with parasites.
Hogs that must be penned should
have shade and plenty OF water. 1t Is
bad enough to be kept in pen without
q struggle with heat and thirst. Give
them shade and water.

oSMIRID|UM ONE OF HARDEST
Metal Is Employed in Tipping Of Foun-
tain Pens and for Delicate
Machinery Bearings.

An interesting history attaches to a
small packet about two and half
inches square which recently arrived In
London. 1t weighed two and half
pounds and was eagerly bought by an
American firm for about $4,000. The
packet contained osmiridium (Osmium
and it's alloy, iridium), used for the
tipping Of fountain pen points and for
delicate bearings Of fine machinery.
The discovery Of osmiridium, which
Is a member Of the platinum group OF
metals, constitutes an interesting ro-
nance, the Detroit News states. To-
ward the end Of the last year small
group of prospectors were washing for
gold in one Of the river beds In Papua,
British New Guinea. In their eager
ness to find the precious metal they
threw away from their pans blush
gray, f1axy substance as worthless.
This was osmirdium, and it is eight
times more valuable than gold and
worth at the present time about $500
an ounce.
When the men got back to the set
Element they mentioned the occurrence
to mining engineer, who Immediately
asked them what they did with the
substance. They replied that they
left it on the river bank, and the en-
gineer exclaimed, 1T must be oslnirid-
ium.'
The next morning the whole party
started for the spot, only to find on
their arrived that the tropical rains
and the swollen river had washed
away most Of the precious stuff. What
remained was carefully raked together,
refined and dispatched to London,
where it arrived safely short while
ago, having been heavily insured for
the voyage.
Osmiridium is one of the hardest
metals known and prospectors are
eagerly searching for 1t in Papua.

SEE STARS IN GREAT FLOCK
Latest Group Discovered Believed to
Contain Equivalent Of Quarter
Million OF Our Suns.

Every new invention of the as
tronomer's observatory enlarges the
distance he can peer into space and
measure it's receding boundaries, so
that one can never say which is the
farthest star.
But we can say which is at the farth
est distance measured. This honor is
at present borne by tiny blur Of ligh.
which has no name and few years
ago was not noticed, but which is now
identified in the new general catalogue
of stars as No. 7O06-or, more pre-
cisely, N. G. C. zoos. 70
1t is not really one star, but great
flock Of stars, probably containing
more than the equivalent Of quarter
of a million Of our suns, and 1t is 50
fur away that II some unknown as
tronomer could flash a light signal
at us from one Of the suns or planets
there it would be nearly quarter OF
a million years before that message
could reach us.
There is good reason to believe that
this flock of stars Is moving toward
US. It is hardly necessary to say, that
It will take long time coming.

SHOOT SHEEP-KILLING DOGS
No Consideration Should Be Given

and fell, and was forced to resign her
office. Her father. Jupiter, secured as
her successor the beautiful youth
Ganymede. Hebe retained the power
of restoring the bloom of youth and
beauty to the aged and, according to
some accounts, it was only after she
became the wife Of Hercules that she
gave up her Office of cupbearer. She
even succeeded in reconciling her
mother, Juno, to Hercules, who suf
fered all his life from the hatred OF
the queen of the gods.
Hercules was deified as reward for
his achievements.

An Elastic Metal.

The most remarkable thing about
vanadium steels Is their almost mirac-
ulous elasticity. Today the metal va
nadium is comparatively cheap. Yet
only 80 years ago it sold at $3.50 a
pound, and was hardly more than n
curiosity Of the chemical laboratory.
When a use is found for a rare
metal, sources from which it may be
obtained in quantity are sure to be
discovered. Thus. when the value OF
vanadium for steel alloys was ascer-
tanned, the fact was soon disclosed
that vast ore beds containing 1t ex-
listed in Colorado. It Is from these
beds that the demand Is now supplied.
The ores are sandstone, impregnated
with vanadium, and are dug out in
enormous quantities. A by-product Of
vanadium mining is uranium, from
which radium is obtained.
