''How old is the limestone used in the
buildings on the East campus?" The
geologist smiled. 1T was laid down in
the Mississippian age" The interrogation
looked blank. ad the geologist continued
That's anywhere from, oh, say, FIVE to
fifteen millions of years ago."
Sufficiently aged to make it good and
hard like cider, one would say, and one
would probably be right for H. A. Good
rich, general superintendent Of the Col
Inns Brothers Construction Co.. which is
putting up the new building on the Eas,
Campus, says it is harder to work and
to quarry than other limestone through
the state, and is correspondingly more
durable.
"The stone is quarried at the Spencer
quarries, just south and west of town.
Because of the hardness Of the rock, it
is difficult to get out. and so, isn't as
cheap as one might think it would be
for the short distance it has to be hauled"
Mr.. Goodrich says.
1T is much heavier than ordinary lime
stone, weighing l64 pounds TO the cubic
foot, while ordinary Missouri limestone
only weighs l5S. The work Of the ma
sons on the buildings is also more ex-
pensive, because of the high quality of
the work required by the specifications"
says Superintendent Goodrich.
Most limestone buildings are built
with the rock laid roughly, in any man.
ner, almost, but, as you can see. these
buildings here on the campus are built
with comparatively smooth outside sur
face, which requires high grade of
workmanship" the superintendent said.
I'VE haven't engaged any stone masons
yet. but when we do we will have to i'm
port most Of them" said Mr.. Goodrich
There are only about two good stone
masons here in Columbia so we will have
to send to Kansas City for some, and
probably get the rest from over near St.

THE DOOM OF BOOKS.

The moving pictures today are great
mangling machines of popular novels
and older classics. There are few books
ikat, sooner or later. are not subjected to
the toriuous process involved in being
filmed. Fortunate indeed is the author
who can recognize in the picture the book
into which he has put so much time and
thought.
The explanations of the change in pic.
turized novels are the many hands
Though which a story must pass before
il cmerges a picture, according TO Gerald
c. Duffey in the current issue Of the Pic.
turc Play Magazine. The whims Of the
s,ar' and the directors demands must
also be considered. A book really has
little chance in the movie world.
But to the person who goes TO see the
screen versian Of his favorite book these
reasons are not adequate. He wants to
see 4 production as nearly like the story
as possible. The title Of book is val
liable. The producer has purchased it
and the public has every right to believe
that the movie will liye up to the origi-
nal story.
Quite often persons feel that they have
been attracted to the picture under false
pretenses because the book and the pic
iure made from it are not in the least
alike. There ought to be more con-
scientious effort on the part Of the direc-
tors 10 make more accurate adaptations

book cannot be recognized in the picture,
the picture should not bear the title of

birds in the destruction of insects.
The passage Of this bill would mean
not only the protection of the Bird Of
Paradise but the entire bird life Of the
country, thus ensuring the farmers the
service Of small warriors fighting against
insects.
The greatest value Of the bill, however,
lies in the evidence it gives of the crys-
,allizaiion and progress of the humani-
tartan movement in this country.

In other words, according to Mcknight,
when he mixes ore, coke, limestone and
catalitic agent, and allows it to burn
four hours in a hot air heated blast
furnace, he will have as good grade Of
steel as now obtained by three or four
operations requiring eleven to twelve
hours.
Mcknight said the present method Of
producing steel pays too much attention
to impurities in the ore and not enough

Facts About OptOmetry.

By r. A. Walters, Optometrist.
80lA Broadway, Over Cillaspie's Drug
Store.
The first optometrical law was passed
in the state of Minnesota many years
ago. Every years since then other states
have recognized the value Of Optometry
to the public. and have enacted similar
legislation, and now all states have opto-
metrical laws.
These laws protect the public first, by
requiring every Optometrist to give proof
Of his ability to detect and correct all
errors of vision. Secondly, by prevent
ing incompetent persons from invading
the field.
An Optometrist uses no drugs in his
examinations. depending for his findings
on many ingenious instruments that have
been devised and perfected in recent
years.
For that reason the results which the
Optometrist secures are singularly exact.

Just now the knickerbocker craze has

ride horseback, play tennis or golf or take
long hikes through the woods find them
indispensable. Most Of these knickers

WARSKIPS AS TARGETS
No Buyers Found for the Doomed

Navy is Using the Famous Dread

Tests.

Misunderstanding found no buyer
! Tor the great group Of battleship
which the Washington conference de
creed should be scrapped, Great Brit
ain is using the monsters as target.
| for gunners of the royal navy an(
| bOmbers of the royal air force. Like
the United States and France, this
country has dozen or more specially
fine cruisers and one-time dread
naughts which must be relegated to
the ignominious junk pile.
Thunderer, Monarch, Conqueror
Colossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion, King
George V, Princess Royal, Erin and
Orion, monsters of 10000 or more tons,
once the pride Of the seven seas, are
all doomed. Costing more than $751;
100000 originally, junk dealers have
offered the government only $4,000
apiece for them
The navy now Is engaged In a series
of target tests on the famous battle
ships Agamemnon and Superb, which,
like their sister ships, are to find their
graves In the ocean at the hands Of
the gunners and jack tars that once
manned them. The admiralty is trying
by these tests to determine how a d.
rect hit can be prevented from passing
from the turret down the ammunition
tube.
In the battle of Jutland, Invincible,
lndefatigable and Queen Mary blew up
because of a flash passing from the
ammunition tube to the magazine be-
low. SO Superb is now in the English
channel and is being shelled at pun
ishing ranges to see whether or not
the flash OF explosion passes down to
the powder and shell magazines under
given conditions.
Agamemnon, too, may soon need
successor. She is a moving target,
more difficult to hit than Superb, which
is stationary. She is propelled by oil.
The supply of oil is turned on, her
engines are started, and the engineers
flee from her before she gathers too
much Roadway. Her speed as well as
her steering apparatus are controlled
by wireless in another ship.
The most exciting part of these
tests is that played by the sloop Snap
dragon. She is responsible for taking
accurate motion pictures of what hap
pens to the target as the result of the
being hit by the monster armor-piercing
projectiles as well as being rammed
by the 2O,O0O-ton Agamemnon.
