When the blizzard came up Friday
afternoon, and got worse every hour,
about the happiest man in town was
C. B. Root, manager of the Morgan
Cooperative Shipping association.
Mr.. Root was not particularly happy
because it was storming, but what
he did feel good about was the fact
that he had check in hand for four
carloads of hogs shipped out on the
one o'clock train. These hogs were
purchased on track by an agent of the
Normal Packing Co., and responsible
ty for their shipment on the part of
Mr.. Root or the association ceased
when the deal was made. The pork

ton safe and sound, as to that Mr..
Root has not heard. However he w2s
glad to have somebody else worry
about the matter. Earlier 1n the
week Mr.. Root had shipped out three
cars of hogs and one carAof cattle for
the association, making eight cars for

Clock Saues Mans Life
by Striking 10 Times

Once clock saved a mans life by
striking 10.
During the reign of William and
Mary man named John Hatfield was
In the life guards. One night he was
on sentry duty on the terrace at Wind
sor and was reported to have slept at
his post. He would have been SEN
fenced to death, but Hatfield pleaded
that he was awake at midnight and
heard the clock of st. Paul's strike ID.
Several witnesses came forward to say
that 1t did strike 10, and Hatfeld's life
was saved.
There was a good deal Of discussion
before the matter was settled as to
whether a clock could strike ID, and
also as to whether the clock of St.
PauPs could possibly be heard at
Windsor. In those days, Of course,
London was much quieter at midnight
than 1t is now, and people were found
who declared that when weather con-
ditions were suitable they had heard It,
On the morning of March IA, 1851,
Tom Of Westminster, instead Of strik-
ing Q, went on for 10 strokes. This
caused great alarm to some people in
the city, sit having always been con-
sidered that such an occurrence was Of
Ill omen to the royal family" Their
fears were realized, for the duchess
of Kent, though perfectly well in the
morning. died the same day.-London

Tiny Insects Help to
Make Photograph Records

How many realize as they listen to
the monographs In their homes that
the efforts of a tiny insect working In.
dustriously in the far-away forests Of
India make 1t possible for the vast
photograph industry to place the mu-
sic Of the world at the command Of
the public?
Science having failed to produce an
effective substitute, the photograph
industry must depend upon the insect
known as the "lac" insect for the sub
stance Of which every record contains
about 20 per cent.
These useful little creatures derive
their name from the Hindu 'lakh,"
which means a hundred thousand
They settle by the million on the
young shoots Of certain trees in India
and suck therefrom juices which sub.
sequently are excreted in the form Of
a yellow substance. This substance 10
gathered by natives twice a year and
after being pressed and strained
through muslin bags is rolled into thin
sheets and sold as shellac-the mate
rial without which no monograph rec
ord can be made satisfactorily. 1t acts
as a binding agent in the process Of
making the record.
Shellac varies in color from pale
amber to black. The palest shellac,
known as "orange lac" is exported
every year for use in the manufacture
of photograph records. The lac in
sect is affected by adverse weather
conditions. Frost and heavy rain are
invariably followed by a decrease In
the yield of shellac.-Providence Jour
nal.

Eats Thirty Meals a Day

Four stages in two months-egg,
caterpillar, pupae, and adults the
life story Of the mulberry moth, or silk
worm. Within three days the female
lays several hundred eggs, often dying
before the ordeal is completed. The
moth never lives more than three days,
and seldom moves more than three
inches, Of its own accord, during its
short life. Neither the male nor the fe-
male ever eats anything; the adults
whole existence is devoted to reproduc-
ton. When it comes from the egg the
caterpillar is no thicker than q hair,
but 1t eats 80 meals a day, and at the
end of 20 days it weighs about 10000
times as much as when Matched. The
essence Of what went into the cater
pillar as mulberry comes out as silk.
