PAPER STRONG AS STEEL

Astonishly strong paper caps, capable
of withstanding powerful blows, though
extremely light in weight, have been in
vented by British shipyard employee,
and are intended to be worn by workmen
whose duties expose them to danger
from falling objects. Chemicals are en-
ployed to harden the material, without
adding to its weight. Several styles have
been made, the lightest weighing about
seven ounces, and others slightly more.
In a recent test one pound bolt was
dropped on one of them from height of
40 feet, with the result that hardly
perceptible dent was made in the paper.
The novel head coverings are proof
against water and acids, and are nom
conductors Of electricity-Ex.

Acrostic composition has been in use from
the earliest times until the present. A
common form is that in which the initial
letters of the lines are made to spell words
or even sentences. Here is a good exam
pie in which the first letters of the lines
spell the word electric"
Electric essence permeates the air,
Lighting the.heavens with its brilliant glare
Encircling planets in its huge embrace,
Controlling all the elements of space;
'Tis this that sways the immortal mind,
Rehnes and elevates all human kind;
In it the spirit finds its highest light,
Celestial source of God, the Infinite.

BEATING H. c. L.

Perhaps alligator steaks would never
appeal to the fastidious diners in first
class restaurants, but United States ma
rines attached to the Legation Guard at
Nicaragua, say they are the real thing
for adding piquancy to the daily fare.
Marine sharpshooters make specially of
bagging young alligators. When the skin
is removed steaks are cut from the Aeshy
part of the tail. The meat is white, pala-
table and has a flavor similar to halibut.
Another variety in the bill of fare is
broied lizard. The iguana, or giant
lizard, has been used for food by the ma
tives for many years. The marines say
that iguanas make fine chowder, but they
prefer alligator for steady diet-Ex.

BLESS THE GREEN DREAM

Bless the green dream in the winter
That we dream of vale and hill,
Where the sunshine sends its simmer
And the fish leap in the rill-
For the dream shall keep us living,
On the memories we have known
Of green summers of Gods giving
That have faded and have flown.
Bless the green dream, that it haunts us,
That it lures and leads us on,
Mid the winters frosty thunder
To the gates of April dawn
Bless the green dream, that it taunts us,
Till from shadows and from care
We can lift and feel the breathing
Of the fresh, sweet springtime air.
Bless the green dream, that it brings us
In our dusk of ice and snow
Touch of loveliness that wings us
Where our singing hearts would go
To the violet wales, the SUBMITS,
To the magic streams that lie
Far beyond the shadowy borders
Of our drab mid-wintry sky.

Dear Travel Clubbers: Now that
school is with us again I thought the
juniors would like to take little
trip to a pencil factory. Maybe they
do not like the sight Of pencil SO
soon after vacation and I know they
seen, awful heavy to me. The hardest
part about a pencil to me is to keep
it sharp, so they have little grinders
for doing that, but break them just
the same.
On my trip to Jersey City. Newark
and New York city / passed right
through the center of the pencil
making territory and found that
close to a billion pencils are made
out of American cedar. They say
about quarter of this number are
sent to other countries. which leaves
United States. The census shows
about 110,ooo,ooo people In the
United States. so that would be
about seven pencils for each person.
Now what I want to know is why
it is no one hardly ever has one?
I can hardly ever find one. 1 know
that.
The middle part Of the pencil,
which is the part that makes the
mark. is graphite. Ceylon furnishes
most of the graphite used in the
United States and about 10000
tons of graphite are produced every
year and a lot of it is used in max
Ever since the world began I guess
people have tried to make marks
in one way or another and the marks
we find on stones of ancient times
are studied by scholars. But when
the pencil came along that was some
thing all could use, and I suppose
from then on there came to be more
schools.
In 1912 a man named Monroe made
about five hundred pencils, one at a
time, and sold them in Boston, but
the war came and the people did not
have much time for pencils. Then
Joseph Dixon tried 1t some years
cheaper in Europe. and he had to give
it up. In 1861 Eberhard Faber be-
gan making pencils in a factory in
New York city and now we have PEN
ellis of all shapes and sizes for almost
any kind of use. They come in all
colors, too. They are the ones like.
Now that they say wood is getting
scarce and forest fires are burning
up thousands of trees every day,
along comes the paper pencil. But
paper is made Of wood SO maybe
some day we will not have SO many
pencils after all. but / am afraid all
the members Of the Junior Travel
Club will be out of school by that
time.
How many got out their pencils
and wrote down the questions of the
last "trip" of the Junior Travel Club?
OF course. you all found that Chester
A. Arthur followed James A. Gar
field as President. Then, of course,
you found that Washington was in
augurated in New York city the first
time, where the United States Sub
Treasury building stands. Maybe it
was little harder to find that P. T.
Barnum was the man who managed
the trip of Jenny Lind, when the
singer came to this country. You
see did not say anything in my letter
about her being a singer, and I won
der how many Junior Travel Club
members knew who she was. She was
