AsIATlcs HAVE FOLK TALES
Popular Stories Prove Tat Human
Nature Is Very Much Alike
the World Over

Some hundreds of years ago there
lived in Agshelin, little town in Asia
Minor, an imam, or village parson, the
Khoja Nasr-ed-Din Effendi, concerning
whom some interesting tales are told.
One day, it appears, camel passed
along the street in which the khoJa
lived, and one of the khoja's neighbors
who had never seen camel before
ransto ask him what this strange beast
might be.
Don't you know what that isl" said
the khoia, who also had never seen
camel, but would not betray his ig-
norance. "That Is hare thousand
years old"
A great man once gave a feast, TO
which, with much condeseension, he
caused the klloja to be hidden. Ac-
cordingly, on the appointed day the
khoja repaired to the great mans
house and found himself in the midst
of a fashionable and richly clad COM
pany, which took no notice of the poor
imam in his threadbare black gown.
No one greeted him or spoke to him.
and eventually he was shown by a
servant to the lowest seat. After a
little while the khoja slipped away
unobserved and went into the hall.
where some of the mighty ones had
left their outer garments. Selecting
magnificent gown richly lined with
fur he put it on and returned to the
room. Nobody recognized this re-
splendent parsonage, whose arrival ex-
cited universal attention. The COM
pany rose to salute him, and the host,
who had previously ignored him, APP
preached, bowling, and inquiring after
his honorable health.
The khoja stroked' the sleeve Of his
borrowed garment. Answer, fur" he

COLD IN HIGHEST ATTITUDES
Why Volume of Heat Decreases as
One Leaves the Immediate Sur
face of the Earth.

You would have thought that the
nearer you get to the sun, the warmer
the temperature becomes, wouldn't
you? But this is by no means the
case, for it is much colder closer to
the sun when the latter is shining it's
brightest than it is on the earth.
This is proved by the fact that the
highest mountains, even in tropical
countries, are perpetually snow
capped Were the air there even
Of the same temperature as that Of
the plains beneath, the snow would
soon disappear.
You know, too, that the higher an
airman flies the more warmly clad he
must be il he Is not to suffer from
cold.
The reason for this strange phe-
nomenon is that the rays of sunshine
pierce through the upper layers of
the atmosphere, which offer very little
resistance to them. The earth, on the
other hand, being more solid. cannot
be penetrated so easily, with the re-
suit that we get the full effect of the
warmth, both as the rays strike the
earth and as they rebound from 1t.

FEEDING HOGS BY WHOLESALE
On California Ranch Five Thousand
of the Animals Are Accommo-
dated at the Same Time.

A miniature railroad system consist
ing of five miles of standard gage
track, an lS-ton steam locomotive, an
auxiliary and emergency gasoline loco
motive and a fleet of 80 specially ar
ranged feeding cars is used on the
Diamond Bar ranch in California to
feed 5000 hogs. And it takes two men
less than one hour to do the job.
The mechanical equipment is the
most ingenious and unique of any in
use.
Feeding yards are arranged so they
front on both sides of the. track. At
the front of each yard is large hog
trough. Directly over each trough Is
gate, hinged at the top, operated. by
trip release which causes the gate
to swing outward so that the porkers
may have access TO their feed when
the dinner gong sounds.
A 1,500-gallon tank has been mount
ed on fiat car and series Of agita-
tor paddles, operated by small gaso-
line engine, have been installed inside
this huge vat. These paddles stir the
feed constantly and keep it mixed thor
oughly.
There is a cutoff delivery spout at
the bottom of the tank which Is SO ar
ranged with hood that it can be ex-
tended directly over the rows of
troughs as the locomotive hauling the
feed car steams slowly down the feed
ing alley.
One attendant operates the cutoff
valve and fills each trough with feed.
while the other releases the gates aft
