Stone Globe of World
Ten Feet in Diameter

very curious monument Is that set
up at a place called Swanage, in the
county Of Dorset, England. This con-
slsts Of huge stone globe of the
world, measuring ten feet in diameter
and having weight of forty tons. On
its surface the outlines of the contl-
nents and oceans are shown, the latter
in light relief. Carved into the stone
are lines representing the meridians
Of longitude, the parallels Of latitude,
the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn,
the Equator and the Arctic and Ant
arctic circles. The axis Of this globe
Is inclined to correspond with the In
clinatlon Of the earths axis with refer
ence to the elliptic, but unfortunately,
perhaps, through the Ignorance or in
difference OF the workmen, or from
some other cause, the inclination Is not
in the right direction.
Stone benches are placed around the
globe in such positions as to indicate
the correct points OF the compass, with
the directions clearly lettered upon
them. In addition to this globe there
Is lettered upon the marble slabs set
against the vol opposite data Of a
practical and instructive sort concern
ing the earth, sun. moon and planets
and their respective movements. The
globe is not very widely known to the
family Of tourists but to those who
have come upon It It IS an object OF
much interest.

Netu York Song Birds
NoD Keep Jazz Hours

'In New York even the birds are so
phistlcated," remarked a visitor from
out of town, according to the New
York Times. "If any one lives here
long enough he becomes stamped, as II
were, with the character Of the city.
"In the hotel where ! am stopping
one of the dining rooms has variety
of song birds. II Is n pretty Idea, but
see how It works In New York. Up my
way the birds are the first awake In
the morning. The poets have had a
lot to say about the habit and moral
lesson has been drawn, something
about getting the first worm.
"Now, in my hotel, one Of the largest
and most fashionable In town, the
birds sing all night. The music sets
the pace All evening and late into the
night you hear their voices. The music
and the crowd are there until the small
hours of the morning. and sometimes
till nearly daylight, and the birds ac'
cOmmodate. When the music stops and
the crowd leaves the birds get to sleep
1.-THE dining room is not used until
about three In the afternoon and the
birds sleep undisturbed. But at the
first note of the jazz orchestra they nll
begin to pipe up In other words, the
early bird has been corrupted In New
York so that 1t sleeps every day till
late afternoon. What kind Of worm
does he expect to get at that hourr'

Clock Built in I7I1
Still Runs in Omaha

A clock which was u years old
when George Washington first saw the
light of day, and from which the
Father of His Country on several occa-
slons later took the time, 1t is said,
still Is ticking away, In Omaha, and
recording the seconds, minutes and
hours, the days Of the month, the
phases of the moon and the rise and
fall of the tides.
It is the property of Mrs. Carrie NJ
Peters. At her death 1t will descend
to her oldest surviving male descend
ant, or In case none survives, to her
daughter, Miss Hester H. Peters
The clock, which was built by Felix
Owen In Pork, England. In I'LL, was
purchased by Newton Peters, who
seven years later came to America and
settled at jamestown, Va. A few years
later, he, with william Byrd, founded
the town Of Petersburg. Va. AT his
death In 1928, the clock descended to
his son, Absalom, and on his death in
1760 to Zachariah Peters, later an off,
Ger In the American navy.
The clock was ON exhibition at the
Centennial exposition at Philadelphia

ther type, of authentic record, with
none to dispute Its precedence for age,

and Concord were fought and within

Proof Mark Placed on
Weapons Made in Europe

Spanish and German firearms usual
ly have, instead OF the makers name,
seal, frequently Of gold, depicting
characters animals and letters from
which, If possessed of list Of such
seals, one might determine the manu-
facture of the weapon, and hence Its
approximate date. English and French
gunmakers, however, II marking the
arm at ALL did so by placing their
name and that of their town on the
lOck-plute or barrel or on both.
The marks known as proof marks"
were stamped on, usually by govern
ment official, after he had tried out
and proven" the arm TO be all right
AS rule the method Of proving" was
to load the piece with several times
its normal amount of powder and shot
and then discharge the same. II It sur
vived the test It was considered
proven satisfactorily.
Thus, as different marks were MOI
adopted until certain date, one muy
ordinarily be assured that an arm bear
Ing them was not manufactured before
that date.-Detrolt News.

Coal Curiosifies

A block Of coal intact, weighing
Ave and one-half tons. nine feet high
and four feet square, was shipped
from Eckhart. Md, to Baltimore
whence 1t goes to Milan, Italy, to be

Cutting the coal represented seven

CrOWd Has Personality
but Little individuality

1t would have been more to the pur-
pose II the critics had insisted upon
Walt Whhman's position as the poet
OF personality, rather than of lndl-
Niduulity, These terms are commonly
confused In the minds Of most people,
aud even held to be interchangeable.
In reality II maximum of Individual
uy implies II minimum of personality
and vice versa. The individual, as
such, Is necessarily isolated and there
fore devoid Of personal ability to share
In the lives and fortunes Of Others /;
the truly strong personality IL he who
Is able most fully to share and under
stand the nature of those with whom
he Is In contact. and who correspond
lngly subordinates his individuality
to theirs. And the same Is true OF
crowds, as OF individuals. A crowd
has personality; It has little or no
Individuality. 1t Is Il fact that crowds
in different countries reveal indlvld
ual differences: thus an English crowd
is less excitable, restless, noisy, than
an American crowd; and Chinese
crowd may be even more reserved, for
aught l know; yet. despite these accl.
dents, each crowd expresses certain
fundamental reactions, possesses GER
tain elementary desires common to all
humanity, Each crowd Is at bottom
a vast reservoir of blind desire, vague
faith, dumb suffering; each crowd Is
composed of units that breathe, hope,

frankly.

marked Mansfield, thinking Of his in

him wonderfully apt pupil. She
ended by suddenly falling in love with
him, and was so frightened at the ex-
perience that she grew colder and
colder every day, until the poor ex-
plorer found that he was engaged upon
one of the most difficult adventures Of
his career.
"She has never shown the slightest
interest In me beyond that of an In
structor for very good pupil" he told
himself on the last day Of his stay
he had gone away and returned sew

Speed and "Air Push"

The newer motor cars travel more
comfortably at forty miles an hour
than the older ones did at twenty, and
the increased comfort has helped the
driver to forget that II takes as much
power to overcome inertia and wind
resistance at any given speed as 1t
ever did.
Actual tests show that a car OF a
certain body shape and driven at nifty
miles an hour requires 226 horsepower
to overcome the wind resistance,
while the same car running thirty
miles an hour needs only as horse
power. Another car with different
body shape requires 10 horsepower Mt
fifty miles an hour and 2,5 horsepower
