FAMOUS "Ll0N OF LUCERNEr
IhorvaIdscn's Masterpiece commefVs-
crates the Heroism of the Swiss
Guards in Paris in 1892.

The well-known monument called
the Lion Of Lucerne," erected near
Lucerne, in 1921, commentaries the
tragic fate of the Swiss guards In the
French Revolution when IN their de-
gotion to duty they were sacrificed to
the bullets Of the Marseillais and tina
pixies Of the mob, August 10, 1892.
This infantry regiment, the "Gardas
Suisses," had been originally Swiss
mercenary regiment in the Wars Of
Religion; but for their own good coz

were Incorporated in the permanen,
establishment Of the Maison du Re-,

Swiss guards remained faithful es

Elephants on Rampage.

Stories of how an elephant occasion
ally upsets a circus are not uncoIn-
mon, but one rarely hears of an orgy
of destruction like that which oc-
cured in the Malay peninsula. A herd
of wild elephants attacked & railway
station, pulling down the stationmas-
ters kitchen and bathroom. They did
the same to the clerks quarters and
then tackled the station while the of
fee force looked on from trees. One
elephant took off an automatic weigh
ing machine as souvenir of the raid
but finding it heavy, threw it down on
the track One of the elephants
trumpeted the recall and they all went
back into the jungle eNcept enc who
fell in well and had to be got out by
human aid, but was not detained.
BY the time help arrived after gem
eral Geographic alarm the huge beasta

Fireworks Development.

Few industries have shown more
development within century than
that of making fireworks. The fire
works makers have not only made i'm.
portant contributions to the art them
selves, but have taken advantage of
many discoveries and refnements
made by others in chemistry and me-
ehanics.
The colors given to fireworks are
produced by mineral salts, copper be-
Ing made to produce green and blue
barium, green; sodium, yellow; cal
cium, red, and strontium, crimson.
These salts are arranged in combina-
ton with meal gunpowder and the
recipes for star compositions, rockets,
squibs, roman candles and the like
are almost without number. Among
the "set pieces are portraits, lettered
designs, fixed suns fountains, palm
trees, mosaic work and ships.

HOW TO F0REIELL WERThER
Simple Observation All That Is Neces
sary 70 Know What ths Heavens
Will Furnish.

To be a good weather prophet is often
great convenience to yourself and
others. Here is a simple and reliable
way Of telling If rain is coming during
fhe day. AS early as possible In the
morning go out and search the sky
for the smallest cloud that is in sight
Keep this under close observation for
five minutes Or so and note whether il
alters in size. If the cloud gets small
er one can be almost certain of a fine
day. On the other hand, if it Increases
n size rain will surely come in a few
hours. Where the cloud remains the
same size no special change in the
prevailing weather is likely to take
place. If the cloud increases very rap
idly thunder is almost q certainty. in
the summer. Alteration in the size
Of clouds is connected with the state
Of the atmosphere. When the air is
very dry and rain is unHlaiy. the
clouds soon vanish; If the atmosphere
IS charged with moisture, the masses
Of vapor increase and this will soon
be discharged in the form OF rsin.

Prospecting for Gold.

Sometimes gold shed from reefs is
obtained near the surface of river
beds at other times the gold is found
near rock bottom, or again the pre-
cious metal may even occur in an old
river bed now covered with lava. as
in the case of the deep leads of Cali
fornia and Victoria.
The method of discovering an allu-
vial deposit is obvious, but if the pros
ptctor is searching for a reef he fol
lows the gold upstream by repeated
'panning" until he creases to obtain
any 'colors' (particles) of gold. Then
he strikes inland from either hand I'M
til he STRIKES" (meets) a reef or the
gold ceases.
In the latter case the reef may be
covered up. and SO the prospector by
series of 'pannings," decides upon
the strike or course of the reef and
cuts trench at right angles down
to solid country crock in its orig
inal situation). when the reef will be
"cut" or exposed.
The true prospector is an optimist-
who never tires of trying again.

A GROWING CONCERN
Impossible to Set Boundaries That
Shall confine the Growth of
the English Language.

William Shakespeare's vocabulary
was about 1880 words. John Milton
needed only 5000 different words for
Paradise Lost" while the Old Tesla
ment has fewer than 5000 different
words. Some people use only about
500 different words, and most of US
get along with between 1900 and
5000. A few years ago some peasants
IN rural England, farm laborers, were
found who used about 800. Prof. Max
Muller (1S23-19OO), the great Oxford
philologist, who was perhaps the
greatest authority Of his age on this
subject, put the number of words in
fne English language at 100000. 'If
we include all the words which have
fixed places in the dialect Of the coun-
try says 1.-The Book of Knowledge"
"and include also many which we
know were spoken In earlier times, we
shall have TO put the total at 100000
for the English language The num-
Der is constantly growing When a
new dictionary was made, some years
ago, il was found that the new word
necessary for use in relation to elec
trfcity and electrical appliances num-
bered over 1900. 4 similar increasa
had taken place with regard to other
arts and SC ences.

How Much Gold Has 14-karat Ring7

One often speaks of a ring being
14karat gold or Of % or 1S-karat
watch cases or jewelry, but not all

% carat.
Gold is divided into n parts-that
is, pure gold is said to contain 24
karats-the karat being just meas
urement term. A ring or watch case
marked AK or 19k means that IA or
IS parts of it are pure gold, the bal
ance of the "a karats being some sort
OF alloy, copper being generally used.
If articles of jewelry were made
of pure gold they would not wear
well. as gold is very soft metal,
and it is, therefore, necessary TO
mix the gold with some harder suo-
stance

THREE ATOMS IN MOLECULE
Division of Water, Small in Itself. Is
Made Up of Still Smaller
Particles.

When great scientist named Sir
William Thomson was asked about the
size of q molecuIe. he replied: If a
drop of water were magnifed to the
size Of the earth. the molecules would
each occupy spaces greater than those
filled by small shot and smaller than
those occupied by cricket balls" And
vet molecules are made up of even
smaller particles, called atoms. An
atom is the smallest division of any
thing known.
A molecuIe of water is made up of
three atoms. Evaporation of water
consists of the movement OF these
atoms in such 4 way as TO make the
liquid water change into q gas. Freez-
ing a water into ice is caused by max
ing the molecules, and in turn. the
atoms. stick to each other. 1t takes
a great deal Of power to separate the
molecules in water, and for this rea-
son water was long regarded as some
thing which could not be divided: or

Wireless Hour Sidnals.

When ship is approaching shore
great caution is often necessary be-
cause of uncertainty as to the YES
sells precise position. 1t was some
years ago that it was first proposed
that wireless telegraphy be utilized to
send hour signals over the sea round
England to distance of 200 or 800
miles from shore, in order that the
captains of incoming ships might thus
be enabled to rectify their chronome-
tiers to Greenwich time The govern
ment of Canada thereupon established
system of this kind at Camperdown,
near Halifax. Every morning the
exact hour is sent out over the sea,
so that all vessels furnished with re-
ceiving apparatus may pick up the true
time from the air.--Washingto Star.

COWBOYS Fear kattleWeed,

On cattle ranches of the Southwest
it was quite common to hear refer
ences to horse as loco-the Spanish
for crazy-and to horse being
rattleweeded In such cases the be-
lief was current that the animals
mulish eccentricities were caused by
its eating wild rattleweed. 1 have
seen possibly half dozen such horses
in cowboy groups and once used one
of them myself. But whether the
crankiness was caused by rattleweed
or by early mishandling l am unable
to say. That rattleweed makes range
horses crazy is Il common belief

older white range riders of the far
