Photography of Words.

Devaux-CharbOnneL the French
scientist, has photographed the varia-
ton Of current In microphonic cir
cult by the aid of a Blondal oscillo-
graph. The photographs are repro
ductions of the syllables pronounced
by a human voice. and 1t Is expected
that they will be Of use in the solu-
tion of various problems in telephony
In studying the impression made by
syllables the experimenter found that
each syllable in composed of 30 to 40
complete vibrations. The beginning and
the end of the syllables are modified
by the impressions of the consonants,
but the notifications cover only four
or five periods, so that each syllable
has 20 to 80 regular vibrations cores
pOnding to its vowel. The method
permits the study Of the higher har-
monies. which give character to words

Is No National Holiday.

Christmas is not national holiday.
New Years day Is not a national holt
day. Thanksgiving day is not a ma
tional holiday. The Fourth Of July is
not a national holiday. Neither is Me-
mortal day. Neither is Washihgton's
birthday. Neither is any other day.
There is no such day as a national
holiday In the United States. A
United States statute would be re-
quired to constitute u particular day
as national holiday, and congress
has stopped short Of this action, nu-
merous constitutional lawyers insist
ing that such an act belongs to the
powers OF the several states and not
to the general government.
The Fourth OF July is not strictly
a national holiday. though 1t is "a ma
tlon-wide holiday, having been made
holiday by acts of all the states and
by the common consent and usage of
the people.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO TREES
Writer Beautifully Expresses Wha'
Every Lover Of Mature Must
Have at Some Time Felt.

Trees are the arms of Mother
Earth lifted up in worship of hei
makers where they are, beauty d. ellis.
Trees are the shelter OF man, bcasi
and bird; they furnish The rpnf
above us, the shade about US, and the
nesting places Of love and song They
call children out to play; they cnt!ce
sweethearts into leafy coverts to seal
their VOWS with fond caresses; they
console and gratefully reward old age
They are the fittest ornaments of
wealth and the inalienable possession
of the poor, who can enjoy them with
out having title to them. They are
the masts that fly the flags of all ma
tons and the sails OF all seas; they
are the timbers that bridge forbidling
streams; they bear the wires of the
worlds intelligence; they hold the
rails that carry the traffic Of the con-
tinents; they are the carved and pol
ished furnishings of the home; they
cradle the young and coffin the dead.
Trees herald the spring with glorious
banners of leaf and bloom; they clothe
the autumn in garments of gold and
royal purple; barred to the winters
cold, they are the harp of the winds,
and they whisper the music of the in
finite spaces.-Clarence Ousley.

Useful Oil.

Few industries have grown so rap
idly as the manufacture Of cOttOnseed
oil. In 1867 there were only four cot
tonseed oil mills in the United States ;
in 1902 there were 61s, and by 1920
the value of the oil and the by-prod-
ucts Of II were estimated to be $685.
100000. Since then there has been
steady Increase in the production.
The increased consumption of cot
tonseed oil is due largely TO the great
variety Of uses found for Ii. 1t enters
into the manufacture Of lard COM
pounds, butterine and other substi-
tutes for butter; Is used in packing
and preserving fish. in making salad
oils, and in the manufacture of so
called "ollve OIL" Tie crude oil Is
used in medicine, in the preparation
of cosmetics, liniments and emulsions
as an Illuminating oil in miners lamps,
for rough painting, and for temperlng
edged tools; and as soap stock, In
which field Of usefulness, after treat
ment with certain alkalis, it yields
soap, washing powder and glycerin.

OLD MINE STILL PRODUCING
That at FaIun, Sweden, Has Been De-
iivering Up lite Riches Since
the Year 1925.

On the outskirts Of the town of
Falun, in the north Of Sweden, is the
oldest mine in the world. 1t began to
produce copper in 1925.
In the Seventeenth century this mine
was the chief source of the copper
supply of Europe. Today it no longer
produces copper in large quantities,
but from its deep-cut galleries come
the sulphur pyrites that are used for
the manufacture of sulphuric acid and
other chemicals.
1t is one of the most old-fashioned
mines imaginable. You will find no
rapid hauling machinery, no cage that
descends at lightning speed into the
bowels of the earth. You walk into
the mine through sloplng galleries, and
then climb down to its depths by means
of long ladders. AS you descend you
wish that you had brought an over
coat, for the walls are coyerci with
Ice
Ventilation and drainage are ac-
complished by means of the most
Anticipated pumping gear in existence
In any pit.
Besides copper and pyrites. the
Falun mine produces gold. From it
came all the gold used to make the
Swedish crown and scepter, and 1t
has provided most of the metal for
the gold coinage Of that country.

Goldfish.

Goldfish Is said to be the worlds
most important-which means the
most eaten-tish. Few fish are more
prolific. 1t has been asserted that one
weighing rs pounds will contain over
100000 eggs. Perhaps the tarpon is
one of them, for 1t is large fish with
a very fine roe. The cod is practically
omnivorous. finding means to supply
great schools wherever food of any
sort Is found. 1t Is found in many
parts Of the world other than the
North American blanks" and 1t Is said
that 1t has been flshed for by fisher
men of northern Europe since the be-
ginning of recorded history and of
course for unaccountable centuries be-
fore man began to make written rec

ASH IS NOT GENUINE TEST
MsrsIy Shows That Cigar 10 Well
Made, Net That lie Quality 10
Of the Highest.

Can the quality Of cigar be told
BY the ash7 To certain extent II
can. Many smokers take q great de.
light In seeing how long the ash will
stay on, II IL often possible to smoke
q big Havana cigar half or three-quar-
tiers way through with the ash In
tact.
But what most cigar smokers fail
to realize is that this Is the test Of q
Northumberland cigar aud not nee
essarily Of the tobacco In Ii. II de-
Ponds upon the length and neat ar
rangement of the filling leaf. A we'll
made, compact cigar has greater con-
sistency than badly put together one.
But II does not follow that the tobac-
co Is better, a tobacco expert writes.
A surer test Is when the ash Is
flicked Off. The glowing point should
be sharp. The sharper the point the
better the cigar.
As regards the ash, 1t Is a common
fallacy that white ash Is a sign of
fine, and dark ash the sign of an In
ferior, leaf. The real truth is that
the color depends upon the strength of
the tobacco.
A very mihl and cheap cigar viii
give pure white ash. The finest
Havana of ripe strength produces
blackish ash. 1t does not follow tia,
a cigar which burns imperfectly Is
bad tobacco. You may have lighted
