Eei-Like Water Dou.

Inc heilbender is large, ugly iooI-
ting but harmless salanander, found
IN Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and
southwark. The hellbender is known
as an alligator and water dog. Two
species inhabit the central parts O..
the United States, of which the mors
common and widespread is the Nec
turus maculatus. 1t reaches the length
Of one foot to twenty inches. Is
smooth, Shiny and brown blotched,
with the tufted gills dark red. These
creatures remain mostly among weeds
Or rocks at the bottom of the water
during the daytime, but at night, they
move about, often with quick ell-like
notions in search Of crawfish, worms,
insects, frogs and it readily takes the
bait off the fisherman's hook. 1t is
tenacious Of life and can live for hours
out Of water. They spawn during the
months Of April and May. The spawn
much resembles that Of frogs, but
Is lighter in color.

HAD THE LAUGH ON LANDLOR
Browns, Forced to Employ Ruse, Surely
Justified Under the Circumstances
Confronting Them.

Mr.. and Mrs. Brown could not get
house.
WELL" said Mrs. Brown (she was
always the one who decided), well
have to live in an apartment"
The next day they struck it lucky.
A furnished house was offered them,
as the owner was called away to an
other part Of the country on business.
They had practically signed an agree
ment for twelve months, when by a
slip of the tongue their children were
mentioned.
"Children?" snapped the landlord
Nothing doingn'
And he brutally pushed Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown out of the house
The next day they had similar
piece Of luck. Another house had its
owner deserving it for twelve months,
and they were offered it for that
period.
ANY childrenT asked the landlord.
"N-no." faltered the Browns.
And the landlord walked away, ap-
parently satisfied. But he was back
the next day, when the Browns Off
clally moved in," accompanied by q
little old man with long gray hair
and beard and little old woman with
gray hair, bonnet and shawl
Satisfied that there were no children
the landlord withdrew.
Inside the house it was only the
work of minute for Mrs Brown tC
remove the gray wigs, bonnet, shawl
etc, from little Willie and Alice
Brown.

ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
Men Of Science Beginning to Believe
They Know Something Con-
corning the Subject.

The first successful attempt to
measure stellar distances was made
in 1888 by Bessel, who determined the
parallax of 81 Cygni, little star of
the sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by its great proper
motion of five seconds of arc a year.
AT the beginning of the present CEN
fury 40 or so parallaxes had become
known and in recent years progress
in measurement has become very

observatories are doing even more,
American astronomers have in prepa-
ration a catalogue giving the paral-
lakes of 1900 stars and it is expected.
that within very few years the dis
tanees Of all stars visible to the naked
eye In the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well as
those Of many fainter stars. The
paranaxes are determined by both

WORK OF ANCIENT BUILDERS
Methods of Thousands of Years Ago
Seem Crude Today, but They
Were Effective.

Dr. c. S. Fisher of the University
of Pennsylvania has recently spent six
years at the head of archaeological ex-
petitions to Egypt, and among his dis
coveries were some which help to-
make the methods of the ancient build
ers less mysterious. Three thousand
years before Christ they were work
Ing an alabaster quarry at Ell Amar-
ma, IL miles from the Nile and 200
miles above Memphis. From this quar-
ry they transported blocks Of alabas-
ter, each many tons in weight, to Mem
phis in the following manner: They
built road, much as we should build
1t now, from the quarry to the river
bank, with smooth surface Of
pounded stone.
The blocks were quarried by means
Of wooden wedges driven in at III
tervals along the cleavage line When
soaked with water, the wedges ex-
banded and split off the stone, which
was then shaped and dressed with
chisels and drills of very hard bronze.
The blocks were mounted on sleds
and dragged by gangs Of slaves the
IL miles to the river, the road being
watered, possibly oiled, to make it
under the sled runners (they
had no wheels). Down the river the
blocks were tloated on RATS, to be
dragged finally to the building sites.

WANT WILD HORSES KILLED
Settlers in State Of Washington Offer
"Sport" to Those Who Are
Inclined to 1t.

Youths who like adventure and
heaps Of excitement are advised to
try hunting wild horses in the Okan-
oga hills near the Canadian border Of
Washington. There are several thou
sand untamable cayuses in this unsur-
valleys, against which settlers on agri-
cultural land have begun a war of ex-
termination.
The wild steeds are troublesome,
demolishing fences to eat and trample
haystacks. The stations entice away
domesticated mares, and often large
herds of horses chase cows and sheep
to death. Once domesticated horses
are mingled with these wild ones they
quickly become outlaws.
Before the present plan Of shooting
was adopted by xanchers, they tried
corraling and shipping the captured
steeds to Eastern horse markets. The
expense and danger of catching alive
was found above possible profits.
These wild broncos are vicious, and
often, rather than submit to capture,
dash their brains out by running pell-
nell into rocky Lodges.
One expedition during a month of
wild horse stalking shot 120 animals.
Only the skins were taken. Some of
the wild stations proved to be excel
lent specimens, one brown and sorrel
estimated at 1900 pounds weight. The
mares seldom average more than 500
pounds.
Where these horses range is q
faulty, bad-land region between the
Cascade and Rocky mountains; nat
| ural grass country, arid in summer
but the winters are mild, with light
| snowfall.

Mysterious Feat of Rats

Here's another mystery problem to
set beside that of how the Egyptians
built the pyramids. G. W. Young
blood, a business man Of No. 125
South Broadway, Los Angeles is re.
sponsible for it.
Ioungblood related that on opening
bis office one morning he found that
rats had chewed off the tops Of car
nations which were standing in glass
vase about IA inches high. Accord
ing to the real estate man, the rats
did not move a chair next to the vase
and thus reach the succulent stems
nor was there anything else near by
on which they might have stood. And
he does not believe the rodents could
have climbed the sides Of the smooth
vase. Still the flowers suffered heavily.
And to make the problem harder,
Youngblood said that the rats, dis
playing highly developed artistic
sense, carried roses from one desk to
another which lacked posies. How
did the rats accomplish their task?

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One VIII 81
Ready to Seize Opportunity
When 1t Comes.

Practice thrift habitually. Make IL
as much a part of your routine as
eating and sleeping. Get yourself sys-
tematized. Work on a definite SEIZED
ule. Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions so that you
will have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets of sue
cess, happiness and progress.
The time to begin the cultivation Of
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed to the people of this
nation today is: Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for a brief inter
val or internationally, but habitually.
Disraeu said, ''The greatest secret
of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one Of
the best reasons for practicing thrift
that ever has been given. It presents
phase of the question to which not
enough attention is paid Ordinarily
thrift is looked upon as a means of
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or Of building up an &C.
emulation Of money for some definite
purpose. But there are many unex-
pected turns in the pathway Of life.-

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gift
of Robe That Belonged to Found
err of Methodism.

The Wesleyan Methodist Connexion
ing laymen a gown that belonged to
the founder of Methodism, according
to the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1871, SO that the garment
Is more than $50 years old.
Time has, Of course, left it's marks
upon the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material Is heavy, and
upon it, worked in black, are flowers
and prancing horses. AS the great
preacher was a little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was
preaching gown but it is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style Of black study-gown.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented pair of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, of course, travelled through
out Great Britain and Ireland in all
weathers on his preaching tours, and
it was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains q
large number of interesting relics Of
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair of John, and presently,
as gift from the donor of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
dominions and the United States,
where the interest in all that relates
to the early history of Methodism is
very keen.
