 The name is a Greek word for 'coaF' or 'carbunclc.' and vas given by the ancients because it de- scribed the sensation as "buring like q coal" It is found especially Tn cattle, but it also occurs in horses, sheep and other cloven- -hooved anil malS, and 1t can be transmitted ey- permentally 10 mice, guinea pigs. rats and rabbits.
 In human beings the diseafa al- ways results from infection through the skin the intestines or the lungs. AS disease of human beings, it Is mostly an industrial infection, con- tracted usually through the handling of skins or hair of animals, or the animals themselves.

CHURCH, a wealthy lawyer, sees Jimmy lift Olga into a taxi and misunderstands.
 Olga tells police the ticket stub and handkerchief were hers but might have got into possession of q man who picked her up two nights before the murder. She doesn't know who he was.

 have seen him, You see, hc kept thinking that Mocker didn't see ! him. How Mocker did chuckle then; He took great care not to fly too fast. He made q great pretense of looking behind him to see if he was being followed. Peter would always stop then. Then Mockcr, pretending Ito be very anxious and very secret i've, would go on. So he led Peter farther and farther into the Green Forest.
 By and by they approached a rlumn of homlock trees growing very close together. Mocker sat on the top of a tall stub for some time, looking .this way and that way. Peter Rabbit, hiding behind the trunk of a tree, had his turn at chuckling.
 That's the place." said Peter 10 himself, that's the place where Mocker spends his nights. He hides in the thickost part of those hcm- locks. I knew I could find his secret if I kept at it long enough. It is
 hard work 10 fool Peter Rabbit when he doesn't want to be fooled.
 Yes, sir, it is hard work to fool Peter Rabbit. Any one who thinks ! he can fool me must get up early | in the morning. There, didn't l say so?"
 Mocker had that very moment, after a last look around, flown
 straight into the middle of that group of homloclls. Of course, he
 disappeared from sight at once. But what Peter didn't see was that
 Mocker came out on the other side and, keeping the trees between him self and Peter, away he flew. When it was quite safe to do SO, he turn

 Welcome Robin had spent the winter in those very same cedar trees. In among the branches of one of those trees Mockcr made his way. It would take sharp eyes, indeed, to find him there. He was sheltered from wind and storm and from the eyes of enemies, There he had been spending his nights all winter. There was his secret. And. as he closed his eyes for the night, he was still Ichuckling. He was thinking how he had kept his secret and fooled Peter Rabbit

 Katherine smiled indulgently at her but there was in her voice the note of authority without which no trained nurse ever speaks of a pa- tient entrusted to her care.

States Lines Marked
BY Mason and Dixon

Mason and Dixon's line Is the
boundary between the states Of Penn
sylvania and Maryland. from the Del
aware border to that Of West Vir-
ginia. After years Of dispute between
the proprietors Of the Pennsylvania
and Maryland colonies. q boundary
compromise was arrived at In 1760
and two English surveyors, Charles
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, were ap-
pointed to run the line. This they
began in 1763, working westward for
four years, by which time they car
ried their survey over the mountains
to a point PA miles from the Del
aware river. Indian hostility made
further work impossible at the time,
and the line was completed later by
others. The whole route was marked
by milestones, every fifth one bear
ing on one side the arms Of Lord Bal
timore and on the other those Of Will
liam Penn. The exact latitude Of the
line Is 80 degrees 43 minutes 28.3 sec
onds north.
In the days of the slavery question,
Mason and Dixon's line was often pop
ularly projected westward, the name
being given to the boundary between
free and slave territory.

A reporter on the Los Angeles
Times was sent out on very impor-

gelenOs make most Of their foolish
remarks. Was it at the ZOO? at the
railroad stations? at information
desks? Not at all. Most of the
senseless remarks made in Los An
geles, he found, were made In the big
public markets.
Sometimes I think half the funny
slips in the city are made right in
front of this stall here" volunteered
one vender. "Only the other day a
young woman came up and asked for
pound Of bacon already fried. OF
course, what she wanted was bacon
already sliced"
Another vender spoke up: "Once a
young man came and asked me for
some eggplants. I started picking
some out. He said he didn't want
those things, he wanted eggplants.
I replied they were eggplants. Well,
we argued back and forth, and then
he clinched the argument by saying
that he knew they weren't eggplants,
because eggplants are fiat and round,
like slices Of pineapple. I gave In"

corrusafions n Roads

Corrugations appearing in the sur
face Of gravel roads appear to be
formed by the kick back Of surface
materials arising from the spin Of the
rear wheels Of automobiles as they
descend after the bounce over some
obstacle or depression. and also from
the impact Of both the front and the
rear wheels Of automobiles. A small
obstacle or depression in the road will
cause a vehicle to bounce and strike
the road with the above mentioned
effect. A few such occurrences are
sufficient to form corrugation, and
this corrugation may result In the
formation of one ahead, and thus the
process continues. This theory is
confirmed to a certain extent by the
fact that corrugations very rarely oc-
cur on grades, where ascending cars
will cling more closely to the road,
and descending cars in neutral do not
give much spin to the rear wheels In
descending after slight bounce.

Exact Time of Datun
Important in East

Earliest careful studies Of twilight
duration were made by the Arabian
astronomers, and there was special
reason. The Moslem religion pre-
scribes daybreak-the beginning Of
dawn, or morning twilight-as one of
the five daily hours Of prayer.
Moreover, during one month in the
year a strict fast is observed from
this time to sunset, says Nature Mag
azine Of Washington. Hence as far
back as the Eleventh century the time
Of daybreak at various seasons Of the
year had been determined with con-
siderable accuracy.
The same authorities distinguished
between true dawn and an earlier
faint illumination of the eastern sky
known as false dawn" frequently
mentioned In the literature of the
Orient.
The line in the Rubaiyat Before
the phantom Of false morning died."
refers to this phenomenon.
1t Is the zodiacal light, supposed to
be due to sunlight reflected from fine
particles of matter entirely outside
the earth's atmosphere. It is best
seen in low ATTITUDES; especially in
the pure air Of tropical and subtrop-
ical deserts.
In the United States it Is visible
at certain times of the year, but not
where city lights prevail.

Plant That "Walks"

The fronds Of the walking-leaf fern
arch over until they touch the earth,
where they root to form new plants
Some other ferns occasionally produce
plants in this way, but in this species
it is a settled habit. The new plants
grow up, repeating the process of
walking, and soon the original plant
is surrounded by quite colony Of its
own offspring without the Intervention
of spores. The connections between
them are slow to die, and it is not un-
usual to see three or four generations
linked together.
