Snuff Habit Dying

Offer a woman Of today pinch OF
snuff, and she will be quite as much
offended as Victorian dame by the
offer Of a cigarette. Yet a century
ago the invitation would have been
accepted without demur.
In those days the taking of snuff
was at once a pleasure and a cere-
mony. An elaborate ritual surrounded
a practice smiled on by the highest in
the land. George " had his Kings
Morning Mixture and his Kings Eve
ming Mixture, his Kings Plain and his
Kings Carolle. Queen Charlotte took
snuff, so did the Princesses Charlotte
and Elizabeth. And for long time a
snuffbox had been the usual gift Of
the sovereign to those he delighted to
honor.
But now Only recently it was
announced that snuff mill at Juniper
Green, Midlothian, had shut down

The atmosphere contains a tolerabiy
large percentage Of argon. 1t has
therefore been found difficult to extract
1t industriaily in a sufficiently pure
state to be used In incandescent lamps
except at too great cost. This Is
because 1t occupies an intermediate
state between oxygen and nitrogen
with regard to liquefaction, so that
when the attempt is made to isolate
1t by fractional compression or dis
tillation 1t always passes over accom-
panied by the two former gases.
The problem was, however, solved
short time ago in the following man
ner: There is made use Of an appa-
ratus in which there is eliminated the
nitrogen of the atmosphere by means
of liquid air. The residue consists
of a liquid composed of oxygen and
argon from which the argon is easily
extracted by burning the mixture with
the required proportion of hydrogen.
In this way, by the most careful analy-
sis, it has been found easy to obtain
gaseous mixtures containing rs to so
per cent of argon and only to 2 per
cent of nitrogen, together with the
oxygen.

There is some uncertainty as to the
distance of the Orion stars, writes lisa
bel M. Lewis of the United States ma
val observatory, but it Is known to be
much greater than that of the Pleiades
and Hyades and the most reliable esti-
mate is about six hundred light years.
If we prefer to think In terms of miles,
which is not a very wise thing to do
when speaking of star distances, we
find that this is equal to about thirty
six hundred trillion miles (3,600,000,-
0O0,O00.000), or nearly forty million
times the distance from the earth to
the SUM- With its tremendous speed
of 10000 miles in a second, light
takes six centuries to cover the dis
lance.
The red star Betelgeuse, varying
irregularly in brightness, is not a mem
Der of the Orion group, but, as its
color indicates, is star of an en-
tirely different type. Its distance Of
100 light years is only about one
fourth of that Of the Orion group

MISS STAR

"WHAT charming person Miss
~ Star is, and what interesting
things she has done |" one of her
guests said to Mrs. George the day af-
ter her dinner party.
Miss Star told me all about know
ing this explorer who's just come back
from Greenland, and described some
of the things he told her. I've never
enjoyed dinner more"
Mrs. George Of course repeated this
conversation to Miss Star on their
next meeting. Miss Star looked con-
fused. "Oh, ah, yes" she said vague
ly. Il went to the illustrated lecture
the other night"
Then Mrs. George forgot her Inn
preston of discrepancy. 1t was a
month before she saw Miss Star
again. Miss Star was dropping about,
decoratively watching tennis tourna-
ment. Mrs. George asked why she
wasn't playing, and Miss Star replied,
II don't wish TO alarm my friends;
but the doctor as good as told me this
morning that could never play again.
Heart" she whispered mysteriously.
eve got to be very careful for a long
whileI"
Mrs. George was really concerned.
She spent the afternoon making her,
self useful and delightful to poor
Miss Star, who was so good-looking.
She was surprised, therefore, the fol-
lowing day to find Miss Star out on
the courts as usual
"Oh, guess the doctor was mis-
TAKEN" was Miss Stars somewhat I'M
convincing explanation.
A month later Miss Star. was asked
to come informally to family supper
with the Georges. The evening passed
pleasantly and quietly. Not long af-
terward an acquaintance asked Mrs.
George about her banquet for GER
tain feted foreigner-Miss Star, who
had been present, had described the
occasion to the acquaintance as very
brilliant. And Miss Stars subsequent
explanation to Mrs. George that the
acquaintance must have misunder-
stood somehow didn't hold water.
After that. when Miss Star talked
about her admirers and her engage
ments and her adventures, Mrs.
George deducted large percentage.
and then accepted the remainder
tentatively. SO she got on with a
good deal of amusement and no dis
illusionments.
Then one day Miss Star told her
that she was going away to live, that
she was leaving In week, and that
probably they would not see her again.
No one believed the news, Mrs. George
least of all. She felt good deal of
attachment for Miss Star, and was
glad that she did not have to accept |

Wood Bufalo Herd

Buffalo Park, in Alberta. has been
set aside by the Canadian government
as a wild life sanctuary, and will be
unique in that 1t will serve as the
habitat of the only herd of wild wood
buffalo In existence. Virtually the
same as the plains buffaloes in habits
and customs, the wood buffaloes mate
In September, migrate back and forth
by the same trails, and take life easily
at all times.
1t is amazing how fast these clumsy
looking animals can travel. Even
when they are walking man must
run to oyertake them, and when they
are in hurry it requires fleet-footed
horse to keep up with them.

PRESERVING RECORDS IDAHO
SOLDIERS MADE.

Every community and every or
ganization in the state of Idaho will
be called upon for aid in collecting
authentic service records of all Idaho
soldiers, sailors and marines who
fought in the World War;" is the
statement of Paul Davis, director of
the Idaho Memorial Building project
now under way. ssThese records, -
said Mr.. Davis, "will be assembled,
classified and placed permanently in
especially designed quarters in the
memorial building proposed for erec-
tion on the campus of the state uni
versity. They will probably be made
accessible in two ways: one as con
densed record which may be issued
in printed form, and another as a
omplete file covering the history of
each Idaho person in service. These
records will form the basis of what in
time win become for the state Of Ida
no priceless historical collection"
Mr.. Davis further stated that the
data would include not only official
war records but also other interesting
accounts of Idaho service men. Let
ters, diaries, memoirs and other his
torical material will be added as such
material becomes available.
