Of this national system of waterways which penetrate
the interior of our country. During the campaign,
he especially stressed the benefit that such sys-

middle west, which, up to now have been without the
advantages of water transportation and have suffer-
ed great loss resulting from high transportation
costs. The money saved as result of water trans

Sackcloth Old Symbol
of Mourning for Dead

Sackcloth is mentioned several
times in the Bible. 1t was a coarse
texture of a dark color made of
goats hair. Smiths Dictoriary of
the Bible quotes two verses to sub
stantiate the statement that the
color of sackcloth was dark or
black. One verse is Isaiah 30 81
clothe the heavens with blaekness,
and | make saekcloth their cover
ing" The other verse is Revela-
ton HIP. the second half of
which reads: "and the sun became
black us saekcloth of hair; and the
moon became as blood.' Sackcloth
resembles cilieium of the Romans,
named after the province of Gilieia
in Asia Minor. in which was stu
ated Tarsus, the native city of st.
Paul, who knew and at times fol-
lowed the trade of tent maker. that
is. the making of tents out of cili-
cium, the cloth made of goats hair.
This cloth was the saekcloth of the
ancient Hebrews. It was used for
making sacks and for making rough
garments used by mourners. which
were in extreme cases worn next to
the skin. but ut other times they
were worn over the coat in place of
the outer garment.

Saturday Not Always
Sabbath for the Jews

The period from sunset Friday to
sunset Saturday was adopted by the
Jews as their Sabbath about 800
A. D. 1t is erroneous to suppose,
as many do, that the ancient Jew
ish Sabbath always fell on what
corresponds to our Saturday and
that the weekly cycle has never
been broken. In ancient times the
first day of the Jewish year was
also the first Sabbath of the year
and the day was determined by the
high priests or the sanhedrin by OBJ
serving the new moon. A Sabbath
followed every seventh day there
after until the end of the year. Con-
sequently the Sabbath was not a
regularly recurring seventh day in
the sense that our Saturday or Sun
day is, and the Sabbath did not fall
on the day corresponding to our
Saturday more often than it fell on
other days of the week. At that
time, of course, all the days began
and ended at sunset. The Jews,
after being scattered over the
world, found the ancient Hebrew
calendar difficult to follow, and
about $50 A. D., under the leader
ship of Hillel II, they began to
adopt Saturday as their regular
Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

"Hail Columbia" Written
as Offering to Friend

Just TO oblige an insistent friend,
a Philadelphia judge back in 1T9S
spent part of one weekend compos-
Ing patriotic song which he
thought would sink back into OBJ
security within a week or two.
And the result was one of Amer
iea's greatest national airs-"Hai!
Columbia"
The composer was Joseph Hop
kinson, who was widely known for
his artistic, musical and literary
tastes. 1t was in the middle of the
summer of 179S that young actor,
Gilbert Fox, for whom the benefit
was to be given, went to Hopkin-
sons home at 33S Spruce street. He
explained that there was little pros
pect for attracting a crowd and
asked his friend to help him out.
That was Saturday. The perform
ance was to be on Monday. And
early that morning Hail Columbia
had been completed.
Fox sang the song, accompanied
by full band and a 'grand
chorus" Crowds sang it in the
streets as they left the theater.
And short time later Hopkinson
wrote to George Washington:
"The theaters here and in New
York have resounded with it night
after night and men and boys sing
it wherever they go."-Kansas City
Times.

WATERWAYS DEVELOPMENT PART
OF GREAT ECONOMIC PROGRAM

In discussion Of waterways development, Sec
rotary Of War Patrick J. Hurley treasured such Of
government in business by stating that The Inland
Waterways Corporation was not created for the pur
pose of remaining permanently in the transportation
business but for experimental purposes to find the
kind of vessel best adapted to the various streams
and conditions under which they can be profitably
operated"
He reminded his hearers that the Corporation
is now self-supporting and that privately owned
fleets are now being created and successfully oper-
ated"
II Waterways development is a part Of an econ
omic program designed to promote happiness and
prosperity for all the people in every part of the Ma
ton" he said.

First Brick House in
Quaker City Preserved

On Lansdowne drive, in the West
park, near Thirty-fourth street and
Girard avenue, stands the first
brick house built in Philadelphia,
says an article in the Philadelphia
Record.
William Penn built it for his
daughter, Letitia. when they lived
1T Market street between Front and
Second. The founder was man of
simple habits and he ordered the
house built plain and small, of red
brick two stories high, and with a
small rear addition 1t was the first
house in the city to have cellar
and a garrett.
For many years it stood on Lett
tia court. while other structures
grew up around it almost hiding it
from view. For a while after
Letitia's death it was used for a
tavern.
Finally in 1888, as an outcome of
the historic interest it inspired dur
ing the celebration of the bicen-
tennial anniversary of the founding
of Pennsylvania. it was carefully
taken down and regretted on its
present site in the park.

Culls Which Keep to Shore

The black-head gulls of Europe,
unlike the ordinary seagulls COM
mon along the coast of this country,
are not sea-going birds. They will
not follow ships day after day, but
keep themselves well within reach
of land. In fact, they are not ad-
verse to flying inland and feeding
in new-plowed land, on insects,
worms and larvae.
The gulls breed from the British
isles east through Europe, as far
as Turkestan. In winter they range
all the way from the Azores to ia
pan, living largely along the shores,
on crustaceans, small fish and any
food which finds its way into the
waters along the shores.

PRESS COMMENT ON COPE
LAND AS A PROPHET

The Hamilton (Ohio) News calls Senator Cope
lands statement made few days ago to NeWI
York Merchants Association that President Hoover
would be reelected in 1892 'the most interesting pol
itca predicaton Of the hot season. Senator Cope
land was quoted as saying that for as fate
the chineys will be smoking and the crops will Del
good and will bring good prices in 1892 and Hoover
will be reelected" The News continues by saying:
IF Hoover fails to make favorable impression OIL
the country in the next two years, it will be the frs
big or little job on which he has made failure
The Poughkeepsie N. y Eagle-NeWs agrees
with the Senator that prosperity will return andI
that Hoover will be reelected and adds that the
country will appreciate more and more IN the next
two years the wisdom of his policies and the extent
Of his capacity for administration" 70
s.. The Indepedent Duluth (lInn.) News Tribune
thinks that 1T was somewhat singular that Senator
Copeland should indulge in this candor, but he was
talking to his friends and probably thought that they
were entitled to his real views In any case the Sen
ator was right for once" And in no way can the
President be blamed for existing business condi-

away entirely a result OF 1t, although Al Smith
"pr0bably will agree in his own mind

newspaper, is filled with wonder that Democratic
Senator should make such prediction but can I'M

Cor the Washington regime critical and captlous
otler' find that "Mr. HoOver's contribution to the

ecatic enthusiasts but is not without value that a
peniOd of teeming prosperity has been followed III
natural course by period Of business and industrial
depression and the blame is put upon the President
as a convenient seapegoat."

First Pullman Coach

The first pullman car, the Pho
neer was built in 1865 and imme-
diately became the talk of the town.
George Mortimer Pullman spent
$4,000 building it, and he made it
too high and too wide. Undaunt-
ed, however, he persuaded railroad
men to remove the sides of a bridge
or so, to tear down few obstruct-
ing platforms, and after that the
Pioneer was no longer wide nor
high. One of its first distinguished
passengers was Mrs. Abraham Lin
coin, who rode in it one night from
Chicago to Springfield, ILL.,, to at
tend the funeral of her husband

Somewhat Disturbing

A man was in the habit of open
mo his Bible at random and taking
the first thing his eye alighted upon
as something that would be helpful
to him.
One day the first verse he read
was. Judas went out and hanged
himself" and not thinking this quite
suitable he shut the book and
opened it again at another place.
The verse his eyes fell upon was,
go thou and do likewise"
He tried again, and this time, to
his amazement, he read, What thou
doest, do quickly"

case an alligator two feet long came
down with a rain in Charleston, S.
G. In general, it may be said that
these objects are first carried into
the sky by a tornado. They are
usually carried considerable dis
lance, so that their source remains
a complete mystery. Colored rains
and SHOWS are also fairly common.
These are usually due to dust, pol
len, small water life, and so on.

Catching Up With Bullets

If a shotgun is fired directly
ahead of an airplane, within a few
seconds the plane will run right into
the shot, declares Gen. William
Mitchell Tin "SkywaysO. This is
because the shot has an initial We
locity of 900 feet second, which
falls off very rapidly, until at ca
wards it is only about 400 feet We
locity left, and at 100 yards it has
none. An airplane going 100 miles
an hour covers 100 yards in two Sec
onds, which does not give the shot
time to drop.
