Decorative Church Windows.

The art Of glass decorating Is not
q modern Bohemian accomplishment.
The Roman Cathedral Of Prague con-
tanned, in 1916, two windows which
were decorated with Old, and New
Testament scenes. Decorative win
dows soon became favorite form OF
church ornamentation. Asnaes Sylvl-
US, who subsequently became Pope
Plus the Second and incidentally was
q very close student of contemporary
affairs of Bohemia, records that the
churches Of the Czechs possessed
many high and wide windows which
were brightly and artistically decor
ated, and such style Of decorating was
not confined to the churches IN the
large cities and towns, but even the
distant hamlets prided themselves on
churches containing windows orna-
mented in q similar fashion" The
curriculum Of the division Of techni-
cal arts of the University Of Prague
included courses in painting. wood

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 a horse
that has been turned out to- pasture.
Some claim that it is derived from
grace widow" meaning that the wom-
an is a 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.

WOULD PRESERVE OLD HOUSE
Plans Made for Restoring Structure
Said to Be the Oldest in
the Northwest.

Plans are being laid by the Vancou-
yer Historical society to preserve the
Old Covington house at Orchards, six
miles from this little town. The house
is said to be the oldest in the north
western part of the United States. II
is of logs and is in a ruinous condi-
ton, being used as a sheepfold. The
historical society expects to restore it
The cabin was built early in the last
century by Richard Covington. an en-
ployee of the Hudsons Bay company,
when Fort Vancouver was the capital
of the fur company on the western
side of the Rocky mountains. Ii was

of fur company employees and settlers

five years of age. still living in Clarke

stationed at Fort Vancouver. This

Wind ant

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 it, 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 e.
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 a straight course
and prevent it from going as far in
a certain direction as il 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 1,5OO miles, but. in fact.
the authorities are satisfied If they
are heard only two miles away. The
reason for the discrepancy between
calculation and experiment was prob
ably atmospheric detection Of the
sound

"That boy of mine" The phase, as
fused by fathers has as many intonations
as the boy has exhibitions OF energy
But whether it be said happily sadly
| angrily, helplessly, in any other way,
there is an underlying note of pride
| which Dad just can't keep out of his
voice; and usually, his chest sticks out
little.
Yes, father is proud of that boy OF
his; and mother? Well, Dad may try to
camoufage bit, but mother doesn't
care who knows that her boy is the
most wonderful individual in the whole
wide world.
With all the love and pride, the boy
ought to get fair chance in life. But
sometimes he doesn't. Because Dad
and Mother don't know.
The boys body is the most wonder
full bit of machinery that ever was.
The motive power is nerve force.
The nerve force flows through his
spinal cord and thence to every part of
his body.

The tremendous increase in the
number Of confectionery shops, the

that candy eating has become one Of

0SMIRIDIUM ONE OF HARDEST
Meta Is Employed in Tipping of Foun-
tain Pens and for Delicate
Machinery Bearings.

An interesting history attaches to a
inches square which recently arrived in
London. 1t weighed two and a half
pounds and was eagerly bought by an
American firm for about $4,000 The
packet contained osmiridium (osmium
and its 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 a 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, flaxy substance as worthless.
This was osmiridium, and it is eight
times more valuable than gold and
worth at the present time about 5000
an ounce.
When the men got back to the set
Element they mentioned the occurrence
to a 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 osmirid-
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 a 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.
