TRUCK WAS FIRST TROLLEY"
How the Name, Now In Universal Use,
Came to Be Applied to Electrical
Apparatus.

Most persons who use the word
trolley" do not know the origin of
this term, or why this name was given
to the apparatus by which the cleo
tricity is conveyed from an overhead
wire
Seventy years ago the word was
used to designate "a form of truck
which can be tilted, for carrying rail
road materials or the like" This is
the only definition of the word in
dictionary of the edition of 1913.
In an edition of 1892 three other
definitions are added: 1. "A narrow
by an animal" 1t is noted that this
meaning of the word is in use In Eng
land, not In the United States. 2. "A
truck from which the load Is suspend
ed on some kinds of cranes" This
meaning is technical and employed
only in speaking of machinery. 3.
Electric railway. A truck which
travels along the fixed conductors, and
forms means of connection between
them and a railway car"
1t is easy to see how the primitive
form Of the electric trolley. which
travels upon the wires. came to re-
ceive its name from its resemblance
to other types of trolley; and the
name. having been Immediately given
to this primitive form. was naturally
retained when the method of connec-
ton was changed from a little truck
moving on wire to mast having at
its end a wheel pressing on the lower
surface Of the wire.--PhiladelphIa In

How Lamps Warn Minsr..

The standard type of miners lamp
has been improved by an Austrian
mining engineer so that 1t acts as an
infallible detector of the presence of
inflammable gases In the atmosphere
and gives warning by emitting loud
singing note. The action Of the de-
vice is dependent upon the fact that a
gas flame. inclosed within tube. both
ends of which are open. will "futter''
and emit high-pitched note II the gas
Is fed In too great quantities. The
feed In the new lamp Is so regulated
that the supply Of gas is held Just be-
low the point at which singing would
occur. Should the atmosphere sud
denly become charged with iniinmma-
BILE gases. these will enter the tube of
the lamp and. burning. cause the flame
to fiutter and sing.-Populur Mechau.

WHY DRUGGISTS ARE BALD
Seemingly Their Duties Are Manifold,
it They Would Satisfy Their
Various "Customers."

"Now, what do you think of that"
said the druggists clerk. "She wanted
to know what Thanksgiving Is for.
Some people think drug store is an
information bureau.
1.-THE other day IA woman came in
and wanted to know who discovered
America. She said she had an argu-
ment with friend about it, and they
decided l must be the referee"
He had perched himself on top of q
ladder and was trying to juggle three
or four boxes at time when woman
came in and after waiting minute
to be waited on knocked on the cOun-
ter.
Il want a two-cent stamp In hur-
ry," she said. He gave her the stamp
and made change from So bill.
would you please give me the same
kind of medicine that you gave to my
mother the last time she came in?"
she said.
who is your mother?" he asked.

Various Causes of Death,

II is Illuminating to read the causes
of death. In 191T-a typica' year in
which the figures were rst tu,nplicat-
ed by the war-14.2 of every thousand
persons in the United stafes died /;
out of every hundred Thousand deaths
1882 were from diseases of the heart,
1893 from pneumonia, 146.4 from
tuberculosis, 1914 from kidney trou-
bles. $40 from apopleXy, S1.6 from
cancer, 10 from diarrhOea, 253 from
diseases of the arteries. 172 from in.
fiuenza, 1863 from diabetes 1865 from
diphtheria, 1853 from bronchitis. 1OS.d
from accidents of all sorts. Arterial
diseases and diabetes show an in.
crease that is really alarming for In
1900 only 81 per 100000 died of the
former and only 81 the latter. These,
with those of the heart and kidneys,
are diseases that result directly from
the strain and stress Of modern life.

BUFFALO ON THE INCREASE
10 Not Likely to Become Extinct,
at Any Rate.

The fear that existed not long ago
lest the native buffalo would soon be-
come extinct is dispelled by report of
the American Bison society, which
states that there were 1898 wild and
tame buffalo In the United States in
January, 1920. This is an increase of
about 300 per cent since 1905 in which
year there were 1,116 wild and tame
buffalo in this country.
OF the nine aforementioned herds,
two of the largest under the care of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are located in the Wichita nation
al game preserve, Oklahoma, and on
the national bison range at Dixon,
Mont The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 1874, including %
calves Of this year. In this herd four
bulls and 10 cows are ten years of age
or over, and one COW is twenty nine
years old. The Is animals that con
stituted the original Wichita herd came
from the New York Geological park
1t Is planned this year to dispose of
some of the surplus buffalo in the gov
eminent herds in accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 appropria-
tional bill for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons. By distributing the animals
over the country, if disease or mis-
fortune overtakes the main herds, there
still will be stock left with which
groups could be built up again.

Recommend Use Of vsntiiators
Of lattios~ork.

Hay, especially alfalfa or clover. 10
likely to suffer damage through heat
Ing in the barn. This can be prevented
by ventilation. To ventilate hay barn
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture experts recommend the use Of
lattice ventilators ~ to Is inches

These ventilators, which look some
what like elongated crates, are made
with corners consisting Of 2 by 4
scantlings Slated together with mar
row boards IL to Is inches long. They
should be bracsd to prevent crushing.
The ventilators are laid In the hay
10 or IL feet apart horizontally and
far enough apart vertically so that the
distance will not be more than or 10
feet after the hay has settled. The
ends should come out to the edge Of
the hay so as to permit free passa &c
Of air. This will permit the carrying
OF of steam caused by evaporation and
will preserve the hay and prevent over
heating The ventilators can be made

because they thought of nothing else
to raise, they planted potatoes. About

potatoes In the United States were
growing luXuriantly. This district is
similar dramatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile, where
explorers are believed to have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means Of seeds,
and II Is from the pods Of these seeds
that the Colorado potato experts get

Sweet peppers, sometimes called
Chinese peppers and Mammoth pep
pers. are becoming more and mere pop
ular as crop for planting In the home
garden. Only few plants are neces-
sary to supply the family Of average
size with all the peppers they will
want, but it takes good land and extra
care to produce peppers of high quail
ity say garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Pepper plants are easily injured by
cold and the plants should be started
In the house, In a hotbed Oh in
greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is
to purchase dozen or so good plants
from some scotsman or plant grower
In preparing the soil for peppers,
first spade or fork the land over to a
depth of eight or nine inches. At the
same time work in some well-rotted ma
nure and large handful of CONNER
cial fertilizer to each square yard of
space. This should be done at least
week before the pepper plants are set
out. Then loosen the surface thor
oughly at the time the plants are sci
Frequent cultivation is necessary, and
an occasional application of weak H.
quid manure to the soil around the
plants will keep them growing vigor
ously. Large. tender peppers can only
be produced on thrifty plants, and in
order to keep the plants producing all
the peppers should be kept picked off
and none allowed to ripen
Ruby King, Chinese Giant, and
Large Bell or Bull Nose are among the
leading varieties of the large sweet
peppers. Pimento peppers are mild in
flavor and are largely grown in the
Southern states for making the pimen-
to picked peppers. The pimento pep
pers can be used in the same way as
the regular sweet peppers, or they may
be left on the plants until red ripe,
then used for canning
