Antique Furniture

Amateur collectors often wonder
how there a be so much antique fur
niture in existence. But when they
stop to consider that there are thou
sands of homes In Europe still filed
with the furniture Of olden times, they
understand. In the days when furni-
ture making was on the crest, there
were only two classes of people. One
was the 'haves''; the other the have
pots." There was no middle class. so
those ''haves" had much. Fine furni-
ture, which was to be found every
where, was handed down intact, for in
those days a nan gave everything to
his oldest son and to no n else. In
that way estates were not broken up.
and family furniture was passed on
from generation to generation. Much
Of it still remains as it was long ago
in the old homes.

As Magnet Finds Iron

If any one should give me a dish Of
sand and tell me there were particles
Of iron in 1t, ! might look for them
with my eyes, and search for them
with my clumsy fingers, and be unable
to detect them but let me take a mag
net and sweep through 1t, and how
would it draw to itself the almost in
visible particles by mere power Of at
tractionl The unthankful heart, like
my fingers In the sand, discovers no
mercies; but let the thankful heart
sweep through the day and, al the
magnet finds the iron, SO will 1t find
In every hour some heavenly bless
Ings; only the iron In Gods hand is
gold.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Word "HelI'' Has Been
CiOen Many Meanings

The word hell has today several
meanings. /. The abode Of evil spir-
its; the internal region, especially a
place of eternal punishment for lost
spirits. 2. ~Figuratively it Is used to
indicate q place Of extrement, evil or
misery. 8. A place Of departed spirits,
called by the Greeks hades, and by the
Hebrews sheol. 4. A place Of evil
or rejected things.
Smiths Dictionary of the Bible
states that 'This is the word (hell)
generally and unfortunately used by
our translators to render the Hebrew
word SheoI. 1t would perhaps have
been better to retain the Hebrew word
Sheol, or else render 1t always by the
grave or the pit 1t is clear
that In many passages Of the old
Testament sheol can only mean the
grave and 1t is SO rendered in the
Authorized Version In Genesis 81 :35,
A :S9; I Samuel 2:6; Job IA 10. In
other passages, however, 1t seems to
involve a notion of punishment, and
is, therefore, rendered In the Author
ICED Version by the word hell. The
word most frequently used In the New
Testament for the place of future pun
lshment Is Gehenna or Gehenna OF
Fire"
Our word hell is a Teutonic word
from a root meaning to cover. In old
English the word was written hel.

New Sea Discovery

In a recent scientific expedition on
the sea there was discovered a gi-
gantic tiderace where two great cur
rents meet. The mass Of foam caused
by their violent collision extended for
miles, and In this foam great num-
bers Of whales and p0rpoises wal
lowed, attracted by the immense sup
ply Of food. There were also great
quantities Of wreckage, covered with
organisms, and fish Of all kinds feed
ing on them. For the first time the
scientists found the eggs Of halobates,
the only marine insect In the world.
The eggs are being Matched in tanks.
Vast numbers of jelly6sh colored the
water purple for many square miles.
The expedition caught nor than $50

Bread a Staple Food
throughout the Ages

Bread is the name given to the
staple food product prepared by the
baking of flour. In old English the
word was written, as we write It,
bread, and 1t Is common In various
forms to many Teutonic languages,
as "brat'' in Germany, 'brod' In
Dutch, and 'brot" in Swedish and
Danish. 1t Is probably connected with
the root of ITO break" for Its early
uses are confined to broken pieces
or bits" of bread, which in the
Twelfth century began to be called
loaf, while bread became the genuine
name of this kind of food.
Bread-making, OF at any rate the
preparation of cakes from -four or
parched grain by a Of heat, is
one of the most ancient of human
arts. The charred remains of cakes
made from coarsely ground grain have
been found in the Swiss lake-dwellings
that date back to the Stone age. The
cakes were made Of different kinds
of grain, barley and o~ne-gwained wheat
being among the ingredients. This
bread was made from grain crushed
between some hard surfaces, and in
these lake-dwellings many round
shaped stones have been found, which
we're evidently used for pounding or
crushing grain against the surface,
more or less concave, Of another stone.

Seed Motion Inspired
Screw Propeller Idna

When a young engineer named Hlck
Of Bolton, England, noticed one day
the rotary descent OF a sycamore seed,
he examined it and applied his obser-
yations to the making Of q screw pro
pe1ler.
Some years later, in 1923, a Kent
ish farmer, Francis Smith, whe was
interested In marine engineering, con-
structed a model boat propelled by a
screw driven with q spring. The sue
s Of this led to further experiments
on a pond In one Of his fields.
Experts became interested in his In
vestigations, and in 1885 he built a
ten-ton vessel to the design Of his
model. This had satisfactory trials
on the Paddington canal and the
Thames, but the inventor was not sat
listed. He put to sea in her, and de-
spite rough weather his craft behaved
excellently.
A year later the admiralty agreed to
foster the invention If he could make
a larger vessel that would travel five
miles an hour on the Thames; and In
1888 he built the Archimedes, a 237-
ton boat Of 80 horse power. which he
launched at Millwall. To the aston
ishment of the critics this boat reached
a speed Of nearly ten miles an hour,
and in the two years that followed
nearly one hundred similar boats were
built.

HAS
ORIGIN
Filipinos Believe II to Be
Gift of a God.

The mythical account Of the origin
OF breadfruit Is typical Of the Turan-
Ian culture which still grips the soul
Of the common mar in the Philippines
despite four centuries Of Christian civ
E1Aaation.
According to the breadfruit myth,
there was once a prolonged famine
wAAgt was so severe that the people
wsee reduced to the extremity OF sub
aaaGing upon "arasa," a sort Of reddish
earth declared to be edible.
A pool man and his wife had only
one son. whom they tenderly loved. Not
being able 20 bear the sight Of the
slow starvation Of this SON during the
fearful famine. the father vowed that
he himself would die and become food
for the child. He asked the special
boon Of Bathala. god Of gods in the
Philippine pantheon, that when he
should be dead Bathala would convert
bis remains into a food. and Bathala
granted the prayer. Thereupon the
father told the afflicted mother to
grieve no more, but when he should be
dead to bury his head in n place,
his vitals In another and his body In
another. When she should hear the
sound Of a leaf falling, then of an I'M
ripe fruit. and then Of a ripe fruit,
she would know that his prayer had
been answered and hers and the child's
life were to be spared.
Death came to the father. The
widow buried the heart and stomach in
the garden near the house, and Bath
ala lost no time in complying with his
promise to a father ready to sacrifice
life itself for a suffering child. Soon
the widow heard a leaf fall, then an
unripe fruit, then a ripe fruit. In a
paroxysm Of fear and hope she looked
out into the garden-where behold a
breadfruit was growingl L was al
ready full OF ripened fruits c~uriously
shaped like the human stomach The
famine was broken, the child's life
saved, as the father had wished. Now,
with many varieties Of ~breadfruit
growing without the least care through
out the Philippines. famine Is not likely
to ecu in any degree OF intensity +;
and Il b~readfruit does not suffice, then
there are bananas and ~coconuts, each
Of which no doubt has quite as miracu-
bOus an origin as the breadfruit itself.

Example of ChiOalry
Among Lower Animate?

An unusual 'big brother" act among
anlmals is described by a park NAT
uEalst who saw a large marmot or
woodchuck attack and drive off q mink
after the latter had captured and IA
tally wounded a ground squirrel.
The scene Of the little drama was
near the bridge over Lava creek, a
small stream in the northern part Of
Yellowstone park. After describing
the capture OF the luckless squirrel,
the naturalist goes on to say:
"While the squirrel was struggling
In the clutches of the mink a large
~woodchuck, apparently attracted by
the ~squealing Of the squirrel, came and
stood on his hind legs a moment to
review the scene, then ran straight for
the point Of battle. The mink raised
his head Just in time to see the mar
mot and escape him by rushing to the
bank of the nearby creek; the marmot
/. followed, but too slowly.
'The railing Of the creek bridge is
supported by low uprights with lean
ing braces Of timber. On n Of these
braces the marmot climbed, facing the
squirrel, left dying In the road some
yards away; then he calmly proceeded
to wash his face with his front paws.
Apparently the big brother act is an
old story In the wild animal world, like
SO many other things which we have
thought human, only to discover, upon
Investigation. that we have merely
adopted them with human procrastina-
ton.
'In q former year / once saw a mink
deliberately attack a marmot of me-
dunn size. In this case the contestants,
after a fierce battle, finally called 1t a
draw"

All animals have a certain degree Of
resistance to the attack of the germ
Of I. B.; in some this power is low
and others very high. The guinea pig,
for example, has almost no resistance
to this disease, while the goat has SO
high a resistance that 1t is very hard
to infect 1t at all. Among human be-
ings the Indian and negro usually
show a very low resisting power and
when infected are apt to have the
rapid and dangerous form OF tha trou-
bic. The average white man, on the
contrary. has considerable resisting
power.

HoEcyon Days

According to Greek mythology Al
cyone, or Halcyone, the daughter of
Aeolus, married Ceyx. Ceyx was
drowned. and Alcyone, on learning his
fate, threw himself into the sea The
gods were moved by the tragedy Of
the young lovers; they brought them
back to life in the form of halcyons,
or kinghshers, and they decreed that
for the sever days from December %
to December 20, the sea should re-
main calm while the seabirds built
their nests upon 1t. Those seven days,
the last Of the year, are therefore
called halcyon days, days Of tran.
