LEGEND OF CYPRESS TREE
Mythology Has Many Interesting
Stories Concerning lt-May Have
Been Used at Crueifixion.

The story mythology tells of the
cypress tree is that Cyparlssus, son Of
Telephus, while hunting one day acci-
dentally killed one of Apollo's favorite
stays. He became so filed with re-
morse at the mishap that he begged
Apollo, his dearest friend, TO put him
out of his misery. The god compass
sionately metamorphosed him into
tree hence its name. Its floral mean
lngs are despair, mourning, or sorrow.
Cypress wood was used In the con-
struction of St Peters gates at Rome.
After eleven hundred years use they
were taken down, comparatively new,
to be replaced by brass.
Cypress was said by some TO have
been the wood the cross was made
from, while many refer TO the material
as hewn from oak; but the aspen is
the more generally accepted as the
wood used for the cross OF the cruel
fixion.
According to the Missouri Botanical
Bulletin, the oldest known tree in the
world is bald cypress growing in
Santa Maria del Tula, Mexico. Ii is
about 125 feet in circumference and
from 1000 to 5000 years old.

STAND TORTURE FOR BEAUTY
Many Paris Women Think Nothing Of
Having Their Noses Broken
and Reset.


Paris!ennes are going to such lengths
to achieve beauty as quite to put In
the shade the painful operation Of
"tlimpling" (naking hole In the chin
by means of a drugged needle).
Many women think nothing of having
their noses broken and reset in a DIFF
ferent shape, says Paris correspon-
dent. Others actually have the eye
brows moved upward or downward, as
the fancy dictates. This necessitates
complete removal of the hair and
either false and forced growth in q
different position or makeup.
One beauty expert, who undertakes
to change the form of a woman's lips,
has performed many operations. His
latest experiment is to make the upper
lip turn up, giving it an alluring pout.
To do this he stretches thin hair
from the upper lip to the tip of the
nose. This effect, naturally, Is limited
to actresses, who use il on the stage
only.
Some fashionable women are being
laughed ut for their insistence on hav-
ing their cosmetics favored. One has
her lip-rouge tasting Of banana.

HOW REED ACQUIRED TITLE
Why Famous Speaker Of House Was
Given Name "Czar'-Conduet
Called "Russian."

Julius Chambers, ut one time man
aging editor of the New York World,
tells in his book, News Hunting on
Three Continents" how Thomas b,
Reed, e-time speaker of the house OF
representatives, acquired the title OF
Gear"
When the house Of the Fifty-flrst
congress organized in December, 1889,
with the narrow majority of 164 Re
puhlicans TO 161 Democrats, Reed, OF
Maine, was elected speaker. He IN
sisted upon new code of house rules.
The Democrats assisted in passing
them. probably under the premonition
that Reed would embarrass their op-
ponents. And that was exactly what
he did. One day the speaker insisted
on counting a quorum by including all
members present in the CHAMBER
whether or not they answered to their
names at roll-call. Several members
denounced the arbitrary conduct us un'
democratic, even Russian, in character.
The next morning in the New YORK
World appeared the words, Gar
Reed" an inch high across the front
page.
The words became indelibly en-
graved upon American political ms

STUDY MAN-MADE LIGHTNING
Engineers Confident That Experiments
Going On vii! Prove to Be
Successful.

o-million-volt artificial lightning
is being created in the research
laboratories of the General Electric
company, Pittsfeld, Mass, in order
that buildings and high power electrical
transmission lines may be protected
against the powerful electrical dyna-
mite" that nature discharges during
storms, reports the Kansas City Star.
r. W. Peer, Jr., engineer in charge
of the spectacular experiments now in
progress, explains that in addition to
the trouble that engineers have in
keeping power current from escaping
from the conductors there is the very
Important problem of lightning pro-
lection. A few million horsepower are
released in fraction of millionth of
a second when lightning crashes. Elec-
trical engineers must know how to
prevent this destructive force from
reaching tthe conductors of power
lines or they must arrange so that it
will discharge harmessly to the ground
when II does get to the line.
The highest voltage actually used Mt
the present time for the commercial
transmission of power is 100000 volts
on line in California, but the General
Electric company has an experimental
million-volt line. Mr.. Peek declared
that 1t is too early to say whether such
high voltages will ever be acquired in
practice.
