EATE OE PINS

By series of experiments conduct
ed in his garden a scientist has dis
covered that pins go the way of all
things and are resolved into dust.
Hairpins which he watched for 154
days, disappeared az the end of that
time, having been resolved into a fer
rous oxide, a brownish rust, which
was blown away by the wind.
Bright pins took nearly eighteen
months to disappear; polished steel
needles nearly two years and half;
brass pins had little endurance; steel
pens at the end of fifteen months had
nearly gone, while their wooden hold
ers were still intact.
Pencils. with which the scientist al
so experimental, suffered little by ex-
posture; the lead was unframed and
the cedar almost as good as new; but
then, nobody had ever asked the ques-
ton about pencils, and he might have
spared his pa i.is.-Kansas City Star.

compuIsory Church Attsndance

The air is full of legislative pro-
jects that are good to avoid.
Laws like one now sought by an esti-
mable petitioner, to compel universal
church attendance; all such measures
and propositions, even when technical
ly within the letter of constitutionality,
are so contrary to the spirit of Ameri-
canism that only an emergency or some
special and overpowering reason of
state should gain them welcome
hearing.-Boston Transcript.

terrain church, that city.
According to Doctor Siehterman,
there are 90 children ranging in age
from six to sixteen years who are
members of the junior organization.
They have their own room for services,
which are of 80 minutes duration, and
have their own officers. The plan was
put into operation in January and Doc
tor Sichterman is so pleased with the
results that he expects soon to double
the membership.
Doctor Sichterman said the Idea of
forming junior church developed
from his experience in church while a
boy.
My people came from Holland and
settled in neighborhood of Holland
ers in small Michigan town. he said.

CAN GROW NEW TUSK IN YEAR
Discovery ls Made That the Narus
May Proiong Worlds Vanishing
Supply OF Ivory.

A remarkable discovery at The seal
rookeries on Pribilof islands may pro-
long the worlds vanishing ivory sup
ply.
Last summer an obnoxious bun
walrus was mauled by government
seal keepers. and in the fight one OF
its long tusks was broken OF. This
spring the same recaleitrant mammal
returned. and to the surprise of both
natives and attendants the tusk had
grown out five inches. the end still
showing the ragged e,.ge of tile break.
II Is now believed that Gil annual
crop Of this excellent ivory can be
harvested by cutting OF one-hnlf of
one tusk each year from the bull
walrus. The one left intact Is USED
by the mammal in digging clans and
sea food. In a fear the stub would
have grown ont enough to serve ss
pickax, 50 the other tusk could DC
sacrificed for the faneies Of man.
Warus ivory Is In great demand
IN China and japan. where II IL
utilized for small carvings.
