one of the ponds of the New York 20

forms of life. 1t was spread upon a

isms observed was a curious animal
with an oddly formed triangular body
with two spinning "pinwheels" as

Very Old Superstition

The superstition concerning the
spilling of salt is derived from the
ancient Romans, who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded 1t as
sacred to the Penates. Hence to spill
it carelessly was to incur the dis
pleasure of these household divinities.
After accidentally spilling salt, the
ancient Roman was wont to throw
some over his left shoulder-the
shoulder of Ill omen-thereby hoping
to call away from his neighbor the
wrath of the deity, and turn 1t upon
himself In the engraving Of Leonardo
da Vinci's Last Supper" the engraver
has represented Judas Iscariot as
having overturned the salt cellar. but
according to good authority, the salt
cellar Is not overturned in Da Vinci's
painting being merely an inter-
polation made by Raphael Morghen,
the original engraver Of the plate
Exchange.

EUen Busy Bee Likes
His Periods of Rest

Bees like to doze and sleep during

Tested, according to Prof. Karl Won
Frisch, eminent chronological worker
of Germany. Not only does Doctor
Won Frisch find that honey bees enjoy
daily sfestas, but love of ease varies
greatly in individual bees. Contin-
uing his earlier researches in bee psy-
chology, Doctor Won Frisch devised
a method Of marking individual bees
with indelible colors. Carefully placed
observers were able to follow the
movements of these marked bees even
in flight. Through glass-incloSed hives
they saw marked bees return to their
particular spot on the comb, indulg
ing, after moderate activity, in pc
RODS of inactivity ranging from min
utes to hours, although their total
span of life Is approximately five
weeks. 1t was not until the marking
device was hit upon that Herr Won
Frisch fathomed some of the age-old
mysteries Of bee civilization To at
tempt to learn these by watching at
random 10000 bees In the hive was

serted, adding: "It was always the

Famous BaTaRs Nickname

The origin of "The Old Lady of
Threadneedle street." the nickname Of
the Bank of England, never has been
definitely established, according to the
Kansas City Star, but the London
Economist traces the appellation back
as far as May %, 1877. when William
Pitt induced parliament to suspend
cash payments at the bank. This
moved Gilray to draw his famous car
toon, which shows an old lady, seated
on a chest labeled Bank of England"
being savagely attacked by Pitt.
But, it is argued. Gilray may have
made use Of an old idea. As early as
1895, a medallion appeared, and still
appears, on the banks notes. It con-
sists Of a seated, draped figure, with
the head uncovered, holding sprig In
one hand and spear In the other, and
throughout more than two hundred
years it has remained substantially

Square Receptacle for
Goldfish Always Bes

According to a bureau of fisheries
bulletin, because of it's narrow neck
the so-called fish globe is not adapted
to keeping goldfish In a comfortable
and healthy state, its small amount OF
water surface not permitting the proc
ess of absorption Of air on a scale
sufficient for the well-being of the
fish. Another Objectionable feature OF
the globe lies in its reflection and re-
fraction of light rays, which tends
to make the fish nervous and uneasy.
An aquarium with straight sides is
the most suitable for goldfish.
It should be of rectangular shape
and of equal width at the top and
bottom. The rectangular battery Jar,
which may be purchased in the s.
gallon size, will give good results.
The depth of water should be about
the same as the width OF the aQuari-
um, and the bottom should be COW
cred with clean sand and gravel to
the depth of one and one-half inches
Ordinary washed sand and pebbles are
best for this purpose, as the more de-
sirable aQuarial plants draw most OF
their nourishment from the water and
require merely an anchorage. In order
to insure an abundant air supply,
plants Of high oxygenating powers
should be selected for the aquarium.
Cleanliness, good light, plants well
distributed over the bottom, proper
food in moderate quantity, prompt re-
moval Of sick fish, and avoidance of
overstocking are the essential factors
for the maintenance of a successful
aquarium.

Many London Bridges

were frequently burned down. but the

The old bridge was the center for
booksellers and other tradesmen. On

Canterbury. and tower on which the
heads Of traitors were exposed to view.

Smoke Proved There

Smoking chimneys may be an awful
nuisance in large cities, but there was
a time in Japan when the sight of
effusive chimneys so pleased a mon
arch Of the country that he wrote a
poem about 1t.
1t was during famine In the reign
of Emperor Nintoku, according to
peter Simple" in the London Post,
and there was great suffering. Mn
toku climbed to the balcony of his
palace and saw a little smoke rising
from the chimneys of the city. He at
once exempted the people from tax
alton for three years. Later he
climbed to his roof again and saw
smoke rising from almost all the
chimneys Whereupon he committed
these lines:
