WHEN READING WAS "BY EAR"
Old Manuscripts Lacked PuncSua'''"'
and Scholars Had Little Neces-
slty for Public Libraries.

Tn ancient days reading was much
more difficult than at present. Words
were not separated from each other
and there was little punctuation. ID
fact, people read by the ear.
Indeed, it is now known that the
ancients ordinarily read aloud +;
which explains why the reading
rooms in the libraries of the ancient
world were vast pillared halls.
The ancients had less occasion
than we have to consult libraries.
The place held by popular htera-
ture today in the life of the masses
was supplied by the public baths
But even scholars were not wont to
depend upon great Libraries to the
same extent as scholars of the pres
ent age.
A hasty consultation of the cum
bersome, unpunctuated, and unln-
dexed rolled manuscripts was impos-
sible, and our modern study Of orig
inal sources was unknown. Further
more, large private book collections
relieved scholars of the necessity OF
using public Libraries.

PUTS LEGS ON AUTOMOBILES
Machine That VIII walk"
81 Miles an Hour.
BY e. r. PEYsER

The invention of an automobile
equipped with four legs instead of
wheels is claimed by James William
Bryan, Washington man, who says
he has forty patents, some of them
basic, for such machine. He has
designed fve-passenger clutchless,
gearless and springless car of half
the weight of wheeled models, which,
he says, expert engineers have de-
clared feasible. Tests are now being
made to determine possible weak
nesses and errors of construction.
Declaring that he, and not Ger
man inventor who recently an
nounced production Of a walking"
model, is the pioneer in the automo-
bile-with-legs field, Mr.. Bryan says
his machine is operated by two en-
gines developing 40 horsepower and
theoretically capable of making a
speed of 81 miles an hour. The legs
have practically the same action as
those of human beings, Mr.. Bryan
says, and can negotiate a perpen-
dicular rise or drop of one foot with
out moving the automobile from .

JEWISH COLONY IN KANSAS
Founded In 1882, but as Farming Conn
munity Its Measure OF sue
cess Was Small.

Perhaps the only Jewish colony IN
Kansas was in what used to be Gar
field county, now part Of Finney
county. In 1882 the Jewish COM
mittee at Cincinnati, an organiza-
ton Of Jews whose mission was to
aid poor Jewish immigrants, located
"A families on the Pawnee on claims
east of Rayanna. This committee
paid the fling fees on the home
steads and sent supplies of food and
clothing every 60 days for one year.
Each family was furnished two cows
and for every two families one team
of horses, wagon and farm imple-
ments.
None Of these colonists made
much of a success Of farming. They
managed to live three or four years
until the boom Of 1885 and 1886,
when they could prove up and mort
gage their land. This, it seems, they
did, and most of them filed again on
pre-emptions and mortgaged them.
These two mortgages gave them
enough money to start stores and
other business, which many Of them
did. However, they soon scattered,
and by 1890 there was probably not
Jew left in Garfield county.

NEON IN SPRING WATER

1t is but few years ago that the
atmospheric gases argon and neon
were discovered, and that helium, an
element previously known to exist
only in the sun and certain stars,
was found combined with rare min
erals on the earth. Since then argon
and helium have been discovered in
the waters Of many mineral springs,
and it has been shown that the he
hum issuing from such springs is
probably derived from radium in the
rocks. Some time ago Charles Moi
ureu informed the French academy
of his discovery of neon in twenty
two mineral springs whose waters
were already known to contain argon
and helium. He believes that neon
is generally present in warm springs.

HONORABLE DEFEAT
By r. Il. WALKER

DE NOT ashamed of defeat that fs
- clothed with honor. 1t is better
by far to be true to yourself, loyal to
exalted principles, able at all times
to look into your mirror without a
sense of guilt, than to wear fine raj
ment and sit among kings.
1t is better to sleep sweetly at night
with clear conscience than to toss
about in fear of punishment which
you know you have earned and right
fully deserve.
1t is better to be poor all your days
than to cheat, lie and steal while heap
ing up wealth In the frantic chase that
frequently leads to broken health and
groyeling age, before the allotted
time of three score years and ten.
If you have preserved your honor
in the hard struggle for existence, II
your heart is full Of joyous faith when
the sky begins to darken at your COM
ing night, you have within you a SUBJ
lime peace which all the wealth of the
world cannot buy, and which, If Of
fered you, you would brush aside as
worthless dross.
BE not dismayed If you cannot
spring up in a clap to the heights OF
power through chicanery; but instead
be filled with confidence, because the
years In which you have labored with
out tainting your soul have left you
clean, clear-eyed and hopeful.
II is not for every worthy man to
win in battle; 1t is not for every
blooming rose to be the queen of
roses; 1t is not for every tree to be an
oak, nor every stream to be a river.
Each has its part in the scheme of
things of which we mortals know
nothing; each is playing Its role for
which it was created and intended.
The thing for men to do is to learn
humility, patience, charity, chastity,
and march ahead undaunted regard
less of the sneers of the vain and
thoughtless.
Look upward and move on, in storm
and calm.
Follow open-eyed Faith though the
night be dark and the way be rough
there's radiance of sunlight little
way ahead speeding toward you On the
wings of new day.
Think of this glorious dawning; for
get your defeats, defects. disappoint-
ments and grlefs. Do your best with
out faltering or bemoaning your lot.
and you will be joyously happy in the
end that you have retained your honor.

GREAT FISHING PRESERVE

This reputation is assured to the
Yellowstone park, for the park sery-
ice, aided by the bureau of fisheries,
last season restocked its lakes and
streams on a larger scale than ever
before. Eggs of native trout col
lected in the park numbered $780,
600; 2,871,0OO of these, developed
to the stage Of eyed eggs and fry,
were returned to the waters there !;
to these were added from outside
hatcheries sufficient to bring the
total planting to 4,O51,OO0, or
double the number planted in 1920.

BY-PRoDUCTS OF PETROLEUM
Their Utilization Conceded Still to Be
In Infancy, but There Are
Vast Possibilities.

The four principal products of
petroleum gasoline, kerosene, fuel
oil and lubricants) use up about 80
per cent of the total amount-close
to 500,000,000 barrels--consumed
in the United States every year.
OF the other 20 per cent, about 5
per cent goes to waste, while the re-
naming is per cent is used for the
extraction of various by-products.
Already nearly 200 by-products are
obtained from petroleum. Vase
line, benzine, parafin, asphalt, are
the best known of these by-products.
But the utilization of petroleum by
products is still in its infancy.
There are vast possibilities of al
most incalculable usefulness hidden
in the still unbroken chemical COM
pounds found in crude oil. It is
considered by experts that the coal
tar industry can eventually be duph-
Gated by the petroleum by-product
industry in serving the developing
uses of modern civilization.
And the Importance of the coal
tar industry may readily be seen
from the fact that its yield of ami
line dyes alone is sufficient to insure
it secure place among the indis-
pensable resources of civilization

ELECTRICITY FROM THE SEA
Recent Experiments Have Revealed
Conditions Which Are Highly In
terestinp TO the Scientists.

The electric and magnetic condi-
ton Of the earth is yet somewhat
of a mystery, according to a para
graph in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. All of the conditions found
and things happening have not been
accounted for, and the data OBJ
tanned are often conflicting, One
matter which is now pulling inves-
tigators is the amount and character
of the electric current flowing
across the surface of the earth. 1t is
possible to determine the current
passing an area of any character by
determining the total magnetic
force acting around the boundary.
The scientific investigating ship, the
Carnegie, of the Carnegie institute
of Washington, has cruised over a
large portion of the seas, and the
data obtained permit the magnetic
force around several loops or paths
to be computed; and the resulting
electrical currents flowing from the
surface of the earth can be deter
mined.
The results found for the North
Atlantic ocean indicate a positive
current of electricity streaming up
ward from the surface of the sea
having strength of about one
twentieth of an ampere per square

Royalty on Playing Cards.
From London Answers.


Four holiday makers, playing cards
in the train on their way to a seaside
resort, were entertained by an old
man in the corner of their compart-
ment, who told them some things they
did not know.
Have you any idea whose por-
traits you hold in your hands?" asked
the old man, when one of the players
showed him a bumper hand.
No" came the reply.
And the old man informed him that
he held portraits of four of the
greatest rulers the world has ever
known.
The four kings, when cards were
hrst made, were supposed to represent
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charlie
magne. The queens represented Ar
gine, Judith, Esther and Athene,
these standing, respectively, for the
ideas of birth, fortitude, piety and
wisdom. And the knaves were merely
unnamed knights, or else knights
servants.
The four suits. also, had special
significance, and were designed to
stand for different classes of the
community. Hearts We're ecclesiastics
or "choirmen" uhe heart originally
being a heart-shape cape), diamonds
were artisans (their sign being a
stone tfle), clubs were farmers (clo-
yer leaD, and spades were nobility
and soldiers, the original spade being
a pikehead.

STREET LIGHTING
MAY AYCOST$1,9DQ,OlO
Double Allowance for Main
tenanCe Included in Five
Year Program.

The program now being worked out
at the District building to adequately
light the streets Of Washington prob
ably will call for the expenditure of
S1,500,000 during the next five years
for new lights and a doubling of the
annual allowance for maintenance.
Detailed estimates are not yet
available, but it was learned today
that the above figures ARE substan-
TALLY what the committee will recon-
mend
For the fiscal year beginning next
week the electrical department has
only $4,000 for new installations and
nance, which includes payment for
gas and electric current
AS stated yesterday, the plan also
calls for the gradual substitution of
electricity for gas lamps, which are
still in use in most of the residential
and outlying neighborhoods.
Students OF the traffic problem rec
ognize adequate street lighting as an
important factor in safe driving at
night. OF equal Importance is the
part illumination plays in discourag-
ing hold-ups and other crimes on tn e
streets.
The committee of District officials
and outside experts now engaged in a
survey of existing street lighting ia
cilities will finish their report in time
for it to receive consideration by the
Commissioners when they frame their
new estimates to Congress for the
year beginning July 1, 1924.

PORK MOST POPULAR MEAT.
American Corn Marketed by Means
of the Hog, Report Shows.

Pork and lard are two Of the larg-
est items in the food supply of the
American people. The average an
nua1 per capita consumption for the
last five years was 67.3 pounds of
pork and r2.5 pounds Of lard, as COM
pared with 60.9 pounds Of beef. In
several recent years the consumption
OF pork alone has exceeded that of
all other meats combined.
A study Of the hog production in
dustry included in the 1922 yearbook
of the Department of Agriculture
shows that among the farm animals
hogs are exceeded in numbers only
by cattle, and in value only by cat
tie and horses. They are produced on
three-fourths of the farms of the
country and represent over 10 per
cent of the value of the nations agri-
cultural production.
Nearly two-thirds Of the CONNER
cial production of pork Is in the corn
belt. The amount of corn marketed
in the form Of hogs varies annually
from 80 to 40 per cent of the entire
crop. Pork exports represent about
20 per cent OF the country's agricul-
tural exports. and have held a higher
place in foreign trade even since colo
nial days.
