Arkansas Cotton Gin
One of Earliest Made

Rambling about the Ozark noun
tains, an artist of Little Rock,
Ark, discovered an ancient cotton
gin, said to be one hundred years
old, and said to be one of the old
est of its tribe. Constructed on
the same principle as the roller gin
and other more modern improve
ments, this historic ginning device
differs from latter structural varia-
tions only in capacity. 1t literally
represents the infancy of cotton
ginning. Its construction is that
of a box without a top. One end
is open, while the other end is
fitted ingeniously with two rollers,
one on top of the other. Between
these cylinders the cotton was fed
by hand. The opposite or eccen-
trio motion of the half-inch hickory
rollers, which are fitted so closely
as to gin the cotton, is secured by
the betting of the wheels ON each
side of the open end with the
wheels at the ginning end.
Turning of a wooden handle ar
the open end fitted to one of the
wheels operated the device. The
wheels are bigger at the open end
of the box and are connected 10
the smaller drums by cotton cords.

Whale Once High in
Fapor as a Delicacy

The scientists who returned from
the Antarctic i'm the famous Discov-
ery-after two years. Investigation
into the secrets of the whales lite
have been more interested In
what the whale eats than In the
whale itself as an article of food.
Yet, at one time in England, the
flesh of the whale was esteemed a
luxury and always appeared in the
menus at royal banQuets.
The whale, the sturgeon, and the
pOrp0ise were, In fact, regarded as
royal fish, to which private indi-
viduals had no right except by spe-
cial grant from the crown. Even
then, some portion was often re-
served for the king.
The tongue of the pOrpoise, like
caviar, was considered special
delicacy, and when Henry Il
whose death from surfeit of
lampreys shows him to have been
an epicure where fish was con-
cerned-granted, the bishop of Lon
don the right to all porpoises
taken on his territory, he specially
excepted ''the tongue, which I
have retained for myself.
The whale and the porpoise are
not the only fish which have been
eclipsed by the vagaries Of taste.
The herring, too, which is said to
be now waning rapidly in favor,
was not in early days considered
too cheap a dish to set before a
king. The city Of Norwich used
to render annually to the king "a
pies of the first fresh behring's Of
the season.-London Tit-Bits.

Valuable Oil

Cod-liver oil has long been pop
ularly employed in northern Eu-
rope in rheumatic and strumous dis
eases. 1t was first brought to
the. notice of the profession gen.
orally by German practitioners and
had acquiret great reputation on
the continent before it was used
to any extent in Great Britain. AT
Manchester. in England, 1t was
employed by the medical profess
sion in the treatment of chronic
rheumatism and govt as early as
1766, but it was not until the APP
pearance of the treatise of Profess
sor Bennett of Edinburgh, 1871,
that It came into general notice in
Great Britain Ind the United
States.

The aSepen Seas"

Col. G. E. Gerini in his "Re-
searches on Ptolemy's Geography
of Eastern Asia" traces the express
sion "seven seas" back to Indian
and Chinese legend. From the
"Puranas" Colonel Gerini has made
the following list of seven seas:
Sea of Salt Water, surrounds
India; Sea of Sugar Cane Juice.
surrounds Burma; Sea of Wine,
surrounds the Malay Peninsula {;
Sea of Clarified Butter. surrounds
the Sunda archipelago; Sea Of
Milk, surrounds Siam and Cam
bodia; Sea of>Curds and Whey, sur
rounds southern China; Sea of Fresh
Water, surrounds northern China
and Mongolia. 1t is apparent,
therefore that the idea of the
seven seas is of considerable an.
tiquity and the original list may
be older.

"Digger" Indians

"Diggers" was a name given to
a number of tribes of North Amer
lean Indians in California. Oregon,
Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona,
which speak widely different lam
guages and comprise a number of
distinct linguistic stocks. The
name is used especially to desig-
nate the Bannock, Piute and other
Shoshonean tribes known to use
roots extensively for food and who
are hence "diggers" Tin English) I;
but 1t Is a coincidence that the ter
minal syllables "dika" and sstika"
are common in Shoshonean band
and tribal names.

ACCIDENTS NATION
ALLY ATTACKED

When the American Engineering
Council attacked the accident rate in
American industry it tackled good
job. Trade unions have for years and
years sought to check accident rates.
They were first to arouse the public
conscience. They were first also to
their own intelligent selfishness ought
to lead them to install safety devices
and follow safe practices.
Accidents, as the engineering report
points out, causes enormous economic
losses. The money loss is great, but
it is and must be second to the loss
in human life and the loss of happi-
ness brought about through the suffer
ing that follows accidents.
Not all accidents can be prevented,
but most industrial accidents are pre-
ventable. Industry has done much.
1t will never have done enough until
it has done everything humanity pos
