YOUTH MAY BECOME
WORLDS STRONG MAN

An extraordinary display of strength
was shown recently by a London
(Eng.) youth. He crushed firm,
rosy-cheeked apple to pulp between
his fingers, drove nail at one blow
from hin hand through two thick
planks broke a chain with his teeth,
made horseshoe out of an iron bar
IA inches long and, lastly, allowed five
men, two trolleys and an anvil, quar-
ter of Ton in weight, to pass over
boards supported solely by his chest.
Slight IA build, he looks much young
err than his years. He attributes his
great strength to his chest develop
ment AS boy he was puny, and af-
ter HIS father died of consumption his
mother urged him to do chest exer-
cises, which he did with simple home
made apparatus, consisting of a single
elastic strand with metal ring at
either end. But his chest muscles
atone do not make him keep his title
of the "World's Strongest Boy" as he
showed when he lifted an ounce
weight with his ear. Standing with
feet apart he hardened his muscles
and the ring at the end of the clip.
which had pulled the top of his ear
downward as he stood easy, gradually
rose until the ear was upright. He
repeated the feat several times; each
time the body relaxed the ring fell
again.

FIND SECOND MOON
AND BECOME FAMOUS

If you are interested in popular as
cess to a small telescope, you have
the opportunity of a lifetime to make
momentous discovery, one that
might eclipse the discoveries OF the
worlds greatest observatories, writes
Scriven Bolton. F. r. A. S.. in
Popular Science Monthly. You have
good chance to find suspected
second moon to the earth-a COM
paratively tiny meteoric ironstone ball,
some four or five hundred feet across,
without atmosphere and frozen to the
core.
This strange little body, pulled from
its course by gravity, is believed to re
volve around our earth once every
three hours, travelling at speed of
about three and one-half miles sec
ond. It's orbit may lie about $500
miles from the earth's surface. A
modest three-inch telescope should re-
veal it.
Watch to see if small black speck
ever passes across the solar or lunar
disk. If the suspected second moon
really exists, it is reasonable to as
sumo that occasionally it must pass
between us and the sun and moon,
moving rapidly across in six or eight
seconds. Reports have been received
that such a body has been observed,
but these must be substantiated

went And pretty soon nothing but a
great big ball of snow was to be seen.
Mr.. Fox was inside huge SNOWFALL.
Mr.. Fox knew he could only roll
down the hill; he could not roll up
very well. And when the ball was
heavy enough it started to roll down.
1t went along making a path and
gathering more snow on its way.
But it did not go in the direction
Mr.. Fox had intended. Instead of
rolling straight to the barnyard, as
Mr.. Fox had hoped it would, it struck

staring down at him with feathers
bristling with anger.
But he didn't see Mr.. Grow, and Mr..
Grow did not make a sound. Instead,
he kept his bright eyes fixed upon Mr..
Fox to see what he was up to.
When his head stopped swimming,
Mr.. Fox made his way toward the
barnyard. 1t was hard work getting
through the snow, but at last he
reached the fence and peeked through
the cracks, his eyes fixed upon the
poultry feeding on the other side.
Mr.. Grow, of course, made his way
easily and swiftly to the barnyard
fence. He did not mind travelling
when the snow was on the ground
Mr. Fox did not see him until Mr..

away before Mr.. Dog started after
him. But Mr.. Grow had no intention
of letting him off even in that way.

that he would teach him to bang

EDITH

EDITH has charming augury. Her
- name means happiness in the
Anglo-Saxon, as it is believed to be
derived from the "ead." Withal. it is
perplexing name to follow in its
various interpretations. 1t has the
same root as Edward, Edwin and Ed
gar and curiously enough Edith APP
pears early in its history as the con-
ira ction of Eadgitha, which seems to
have been the earliest authentic name.
If we accept Eadgitha as being the
forerunner of Edith then it's interpre-
tation is somewhat different. as the
emphasis is placed upon the 'githa,"
which is thought to be a phonetic yaria-
ton of gifa or gifu, meaning gift. In
that case. Edith means rich gift.
Gyda was a popular feminine name
among the Morse, and Gytha was the
daughter of Swend, king of Denmark.
Gvdlia was Morse goddess and be-
came the old, exalted conception of
womanl1ood.
The first Eadgyth was the daughter
of Earl Goodwin of whom Ingulf said /:
"Sicut spina rosam, genuit Godwinus
Egitham." But In the roll Of her
lands in "Domesday," she is called
Eddeva. Eddid and Edeva were much
used by the Normans, but the queen of
Henry I, who bore the name, was not
permitted anything so Saxon and she
became Edith.
The pope's mother was one illustrious
Edith; it was also the name of
Southeys wife. Scott gave it to the

The jewel assigned to Edith is the
agate which promises popularity and
responsiveness for it's wearer. Its
prophecy is best revealed in some very
ancient poets rhyme to the wearer of
the agate:
Adorned with this, thou woman's heart

And by persuasion thy desire attain

This obliging stone further promises

Her lucky day is Friday and is said

Reality Necessary

An American bull-fght film gave all
the preliminaries of the event, but
when it came to the real contest in
the arena it was necessary to leave
much to the imagination. But when
this same film was sent to Mexico, it
was failure and the Mexicans who
paid their money did not hesitate to
express themselves after the show,
which they regarded as swindle. A
section of, film depicting a real bull
fight was inserted and after that the
picture was hot favorite. The whole
country went to see it.
