PART OF YOUTHS EDUCATION
University Authority says Seine Sort
Of Athletics Should be INDUCED
In by colIeolans.

The chancellor of an. eastern univer-
sity advises all students to take part
in some form of college sport. His
reason is that the training and dis
cipline gained from participation in or
ganized sport of any sort will be OF
service in the major effort of aequir-
ing knowledge In the class or lecture
room. Discipline and training team
work and the submerging Of the indi-
vidual for the good Of the whole are
lessons that each student needs to
learn.
A broadening of vision, clearer out
look, a greater faculty for seeing the
other fellows side, with the eonse-
quent breaking down of the walls of
seliishness that shut of the true picture
of life must come from the active prac-
tice Of any of the games now prevalent
at the big schools, observes the Omaha
Bee. 1t is not essential that one make
the team or become adept in the pur-
suits of particular sport, but it Is
required that the matter be pursued
sufficiently to develop the spirit of true
craftsmanship, for that is opposed to
the self-centered attitude sought to be
overcome. When this is DONE the stu
dent will take up his scholastic work
with better zest, and, by reason Of his
communication with other students on
campus or field, or In the gymnasium,
he win get more out of his college life
than IL he remains recluse and a
grind.

WATER HAS PECULIAR ACTION

Partia, Fertilization in Compare
lively Short Time.

What is undoubtedly one CT the
most curious lakes In the world Is 10
be found in Ireland. This lake has the
power Of petrifying any substance
that may fall into 1t.
OF course, the petrifaction Is not
absolute, but the substance Is coated
with a layer of stone, which Is found
dissolved In the lake, and the stona
then hardens and FORMS shell over
the substance.
A well-known English cutlery firm
heard of this and sent man over to
inspect H.
He selected several pieces Of hard
wood, which he sank with weights,
and ther marked the places with
small buoys.
A fortnight later he returned and
took up two pieces Of the wood, which
he found to be partly petrlfied.
Two weeks after. he drew up the
other pieces, and found each piece to
be as hard as flint.
The firm then made several e::pcri-
ments with the wood. and found that,
at certain stage Of petrifaction an
excellent razor hone could be manu-
featured from It.

HARD TO TRACE BEGINNING
Custom Of Applying Christian and Sur
name to individuals Has Seen
Long Used.

The principal sources from which
surnames are derived are personal
characteristics, rank or profession, To-
ealities, animals or natural objects, or
patronymics. Surnames in many Ian
guages are derived from the same
sources. Thus, Black, White, Brown
are with the Germans Schwartz, Weiss,
Braugh; with the French, Lenoir, Lee
blanc, Lebrun. The Gaelic prefix Mac,
the Irish o. the Norman-French Fitch,
the German affix -shon or son, the
Scandinavian sen, the Russian witch,
are all equivalents Of the English afix
son.
1t is impossible to ascertain with
any degree of certainty when the sys-
TEN of having one name for the indt-
vidual christian or baptismal name)
Joined to Il second name which is COM
mon to the family to which he belongs
(surname) was adopted.
Compounds in names were often the
result of applying a sobriquet to
Christian name-for instance, Little
john or Micklejohn.
In most nations the wife changes
her surname on marriage to that of her
husband. In Spain, however, she re-
tains it, while the son may adopt either
the maternal or paternal name.

MUST HEsT lii CHINESE SOIL
40 Son Of tire FcMory Empire A..
lowed to Remain Perpstually in
Foreign Grave.

1t Is not perhaps generally known,
but no Chlnamans remains remain in
definitely on foreign soil. AT the west
coast where Chinese are much more
numerous than in the East, Chinese
cemeteries are large and there are lots
of them. IN the graveyard is large,
hollow cement dome with small hole
just above small altar table Plunks,
or small iapers. are burned continually
! on this altar during burial ceremony
and the object Is to drive the evil
spirit into the dome and hold him
there until the remains are inferred.
T. IN the tine the body leaves the
house until 1t is covered, prayer papers
are continually in the air. These pa
pers are punched With numerous small
holes, and the belief Is that the bad
spirits must creep through each. OF
these holes before they can enter the
body.
Periodically the bones of the de-
parted are disinterred and packed In
small Baskets On all the =. and o.
liners are sections devoted entirely to
the carrying of these small, bone-filled
Baskets, back to China for final rein
terment No Chinese bones are know
ingly allowed to remain on foreign soil
Thus China is land of graveyards
and the greatest difficulties found by
railway companies building in China
is to avoid disturbing the remains OF

The expansion of literature and the
spread Of enlightenment, which put an
end to the Dark ages, is ascribed to
the invention Of movable type by Gut
enberg, or somebody else, at the end
Of the Fourteenth century. But the
credit belongs rather to the unknown
chemist who invented the process of
making paper. The ancient Romans
stamped their bricks and lead pipes
with type. but printing had to wait
more than thousand years for y sup
ply Of paper. Movable type Is not
the essential feature of printing, for
most of the printing done nowadays
Is not from movable type, but from
solid lines or pages. We could. II
necessary, do away with type and
press altogether and use some photo
graphic method Of composition and re-
production, but we could not do with
out paper. The invention of wood pulp
paper has done more for the expan-
sion Of literature than did the in
vention Of rag paper 600 years ago.

HIDE WILLS IN ODD PLACES
Found Long After the Death
of Their Makers.

Occasionally missing will IS found
In time to provide an unexpected for
tune. In 1909 peasant woman Of Brit
tany was feeding her fowls, when,
among the corn In the bin, she came
across notebook which contained the
will of a farmer who had died IA years
previously.
More romantic .was the accidental
discovery of will after the lapse OF
quarter of a century, by which small
estate was restored to its old owners.
On the death Of member of the FAM
lily no will could be found, so the estate
was sold and the proceeds divided
among the next Of kin, among whom
was daughter who regretted the sale,
as her father had always said he hoped
circumstances would never force them
to part with 1t.
Twenty-Five years later distant rel.
alive died and when his house was be-
Ing overhauled the contents of several
old chests and eases were examined.
In one was the missing will, which
stated the estate was not to be sold.
On being approached, the gentleman
who had bought 1t expressed his WILL
ingness to sell 1t back to the daughter.

NOT ALL. MERE SUPERSTITION
General Dislike for Two-DolIar Bills
Partially Explained by Boston
Banker.

The reason for the superstition that
81 bills bring bad luck are problemati-
cal.
One popular explanation is that folks
are afraid they will pass two" for
Zone" Gamblers and sports, particu-
larry, carry their money in heavy rolls
with the largest bills inside, and claim
that 1t is easy to peel 50 bill from
the outside and pass 1t for one. Ar
Ruments and disputes with shopkeep-
err frequently follow as to. the denomi-
nation of the bill passed.
Again, folks, who handle large num-
bers of small bills are likely to get
81 note sandwiched in with a number
of 81 bills and in counting forget to
make allowance for the extra "seed."
Still another possible reason for the
jlnx was suggested by Boston
banker.
"Twodollar bills are frequently used
by counterfeiters and crooks" said he.
"a man can split 81 bill right
through the middle, then split a
twenty, paste one part of the two with
another half of the twenty and thus
make two twenties out of $40 and a
50 bill. BY passing the $40 side up
they can get away with it more often
than you would believe"

TOOTH DECAY DUE TO BREAD
Exhaustive Experiments Have Alb
solved Sweets From Blame Which
tias Been Attached to Them.

The general belief that the consump-
ton Of jams, jellies and such sweets
are responsible for the progress of de-
cay in our teeth. has not been borne
out by experiments which were made
ut the hygienic institute of the Leipsic
university On the other hand it was
indicated that bread was responsible
for such troubles, This was shown
by taking perfectly sound teeth and
coating them with wax, into which an
aperture was made at one point or
another, and these were then subjected
to an immersion in a mixture of bread
and saliva at temperature of 81 de-
grees Centigrade At the end of 80
days many of the teeth showed signs
of softenng at the exposed points;
while g days later all showed the
softening signs. At the. end Of 124
days completely developed carries was
developed In all the teeth under expert
ment. A similar test with jams and
jellies resulted in a complete vindica-
ton of the sweets, for the same length
of time showed that the fruit acids
and the perfumed acids Of the pre-
serves had no effect upon the teeth
whatever.

Not Work Of One Inventor.

Moving pictures were not invente,
by any one person. They were devel
oped by many men.
Plateau, a blind man of Client, I,
1888 made a toy which gave illusio'
of moving figures by showing hume
Gus drawings in rapid succession. i.
was known as the "phenakistoscope."
In 1860 this Idea was Incorporated In
the "zoerOpe," also toy. In 1872
Muybridge used photography instead
of drawings. Peynaud of France IN
1877 enlarged the score of the ma
chine by projecting pictures OH a
screen with stereopticon arrange
ment. Ribbon film was first used In
1888. In 1890 cameras were Invented
that were able to take ten exposures
a second. They were known as Friese,
Greene and Evans cameras.
The first really successful machine
was the "kinetoscope," invented by
Edison In 1893.

Why Called Achilles Tendon.

The Achilles tendon is strong
sinew running along the heel to the
calf of the leg.
A post-Homeric story Is that Thetis
took her son Achilles by one of his
heels, and dipped him in the River
Styx to make him invulnerable. The
water washed every part of his body,
except the heel covered by his mothers
hand. 1t was on this vulnerable point
that the hero was slain In battle. And
the sinew of the heel is called, in
consequence, tendo Achillis.
The vulnerable or weak point in a
persons or a nations character also
is often referred to as the heel of

incomplete-that was the heytiay of
the hobo. Mastiffs and hoboes have
gone off together to the land Of no
