Interpreting Animal Language.

O.. NJ. Weston, in Our Dumb Animals.)
Animals usually respond readily to
kind treatment, and the more one
loves them, the easier it is to under
stand their wants. Since living on a
ranch, have always been proud be-
cause our stock seem to have such
absolute faith in our willingness and
ability to help them when they get
into trouble. They always come
home if anything is the matter with
them.
One evening a horse limped into
the corral, and we soon discovered
that she had stepped on a nail in
board, and Lad to walk with the
board on her hoof. as the nail had

easy enough, though, to see her pre-

took us some time to learn just what
she wanted.
half an hour before, so could not be
far away, still, she acted as though
she had lost it. We looked every

Still the distracted mother kept on

about three hundred yards from the

AS he neared the stack, the man
heard the calf moo family in answer

the little one was buried in the stack,
and so deep that the man had to
pitch off a wagon load of hay before
he could get it out.
Cattle, feeding in the stack. had
made deep tunnels, and the calf had
wandered into one, and, as the straw
slides and gives way as unexpectedly
as an earthquake, he had found him

with his mother on the other. The
old COW had sense enough to know
she could not dig it out, so came to
us for help, which she obtained after
repeated efforts to make us under

Principle Not MODERN"

Speculation on how many ages ago
the basic principle of the modern
motor car wheel was discovered has
been revived sharply by the find of
several richly ornamented chariot
wheels in the tomb of King Tut
Ankh-Amen at Luxor, Egypt
Expert scrutiny shows remarkably
modern" notions in these wheels
which carried Egypt's Pharaohs
thirty-five hundred years ago. The
hub, spoke and rim construction have
graceful outlines combined with
great strength. The wheels were
used on chariots probably designed
for war which involved driving at
top speed across rough ground and
often crashing into other war
chariots.
One way the motive engineers of
the ancient kings time gained the
desired wheel strength was by using
an excessively long hub with small
diameter to reduce friction and help
in holding alignment. Motor car
hubs to-day make use of the princi-
pie. In the bronze used for spindles
and bearings the Egyptians had a
bearing metal modern workers never
aaTe been able to duplicate. The
temEeriug of bronze to marvellous
hardness is regarded as lost art
King Tut had "puncture proofs"
too, but their construction hardly
would be practical for the average
modern motorist. Several of the rich
ly ornamented chariot wheels I'M
earthed had tires of gold

TWO PROSPECT HARBOR GIRLS.
Some new books have been added
to the library, and this week two
magazines have been received, which
are of interest from the fact that
they contain articles by former
| Prospect Harbor girls, who are Win
ming distinction and doing interest
ing work along different lines. Miss
Persis and Miss Caroline E. Vose of
Portland were born here, and spent
, their childhood days here. Miss
Persis, who for several years has
been partially deaf, has made a
splendid effort to rise above the
melancholy and detection which US
ually accompany the disease, and
laughingly says, 81 am determined
not to grow into a sensitive, deaf old
lady whom everybody pities, but no
body likes" She has thrown her
self heart and soul into the study of
lip reading, first taking lessons in
Portland, and later going to Boston
for the normal course at the Muller
Walle School of Lip Reading. She
has recently graduated from this
school, and is now home again,
| eager to help other deafened people
to learn to read the lips and to &C
quire a more cheerful attitude about
life. Already she has started a
speech readers club in Portland
which is doing excellent work, and
she has enthusiastic plans for the
| future, with an idea of extending the
scope of her work to reach deafened
| children and adults in other parts
of Maine. "Other states are doing
much for the deaf; Maine must not
lag behind declares Miss Vose.
incidentally she has written two
articles for the Volta Review, a
magazine for the hard of hearing
who wants to be Pitied," appeared
| in the last August number, and was
| reprinted later in another magazine
by an enthusiastic editor. 'They all,
with one consent, Began to Make Elk
| cuses," appeared in the September
| issue. Miss Vose has been asked to
write more articles dealing with the
| problems of the deaf,
| Caroline e. Vose was graduated
| from Wellesley college, after which
she did graduate work at Columbia
! p diversity, receiving her masters de-
zee in English from there. Later
|, e studied at Radclif college She
| as an instructor in Wllesley for
| three years, and now is engaged in
research work and writing for news
papers and magazines. Two in

| have appeared in Scribner's maya
zine during the past year.
