Tarzan of the Apes was to be the victim Of
their bestial appetites. And such an end! The
most unthinkably horrid death that it is given
a white man to die. He strained his mighty
muscles at the bonds that pinioned him, but
even his giant Drawn could not bulge them.
Well he knew the fate that was to be his end.
He writhed in agony at the thought that he had
been trapped like silly. dumb creature.

MASEFIELD MAY BECOME
FIRST SALOON LAUREATE
Famed Poet Once Scrubbed Floors
and Polished Brass in
Greenwich Village.

NEW YORK (N.A.NAD.-If and
when John Masefield is appointed poet
laureate of England, as is rumored now,
he will be the first man in that posi-
ton to have come out of a Green
vich Village saloon. No one even
from a Greenwich Village attic has ever
made the grade, let alone a saloon.
But 1t isn't true, no matter how
often repeated. that the gentle, sweet
spirited and POLITICALLY rapturous Mase-
field was bartender in Luke OCon-
nor's place.
Il never reached those heights" says
the poet. What 1 did was to wash
out cuspidors, sweep and scrub the floor
and put chairs on top of tables. Also
] polished glasses and footballs"
Plenty of old-timers in the village
which has changed both for better and
for worse-remember Masefield. So do
plenty of war service men remember
him. for he spoke in American camps
after seeing action in the Gallipoli
campaign. Some of these American
lads thought him sissy because they
were not used to the gracious speech
of an Englishman and poet and 1t
seemed affected. Had they known of
his saloon experience and his thrilling
sea voyages they might have respected
him more.

How Map Is "oriented"

To orient map Is to place 1t so
that its east side, ETC., lies toward the
corresponding parts of the horizon !;
the map attached to a plane table
may be rotated to make its directions
correspond with the actual compass
directions. In surveying, the azimuth
of line is the angle the line makes
with north and south line, and diff
fers from bearing in being measured
always in one direction through 300
degrees, while bearings are measured
in each of four directions through 90
degrees. Contour lines on map are
lines connecting points of the same
elevation. On a contour map which
shows contour lines at 80. 100, $50
feet, etc, the contour intervals will
be 80 feet. Distance is usually in
dicated by means of scale: for fur
ther information as to methods used
in surveying, consult textbook on
the subject.

Why Slit Is Necessary
in Formation of Nibs

All pen-nibs have slit running to
the point from little round or oval
hole which is cut in the middle of the
nib where it begins to taper. Were it
not for this slit, and the fact that
the whole boGy of the nib is curved,
we should be unable to write. The
curvature causes the nib to hold a
considerable quantity of ink when it is
dipped in the pot, and the slit causes
the point of the nib to open into two
sections when it is pressed upon the
paper, and the ink between these sec
lions is then left on the paper form
ing line or letter, as the case may be-
Steel nibs also have two little Sits
in their sides or shoulders. These are
to give greater fexibility to the nib.
Gold nibs, being softer, do not need

WHY;
Reflection in Spoon Shows
Upside Down

When a person looks into the bowl
Of brightly polished spoon he always
sees his reflection upside down. This
is because the cOncaye part of the
spoon acts like lens. If the spoon
were fiat 1t would reflect like an ordi-
nary mirror. To Illustrate, in focus
ing a plate camera images are thrown
on the ground glass upside down
when rays of light are passed through
a lens they converge on each other
until they all meet at one point. From
the point where they cross and con-
tinue their journey towards the eye
their positions are reversed. That is
why stereopticon slides and moving
picture films must be put in the pro
jecting machine upside down in order
to make the pictures appear right side
up on the screen. Any hollow reflect
ing object, such as the polished bowl
of a spoon, acts in the same manner
The rays that strike in its exact cen
fer are reflected straight back, but
those that fall on the curved sides are
turned inwards. Hence all the rays
cross at point and the reflection APP
pears upside down. A fiat surface,
such as mirror. does not reflect the
light rays from point and according
ly they do not meet That is why the
reflection is right side up.-Exchange.

Why One /. "on Wrong Tack"

We see, hear and use the phrase
"On the wrong tack" so frequently in
its well-known sense. indicating "the
wrong direction" or "the wrong idea"
that it probably never occurs to us
that it was not at first part of the
language of landlubbers.
In the parlanee of the sea, whence
we have this phrase, a tack is a rope
used to fasten the corner of a sail.
Being on certain tack refers to the
course of vessel in regard to the
trim of her sails.
Hence being ION the wrong tack"
for following a wrong direction or
chasing a lost hope, or, again meta

How Compass Plant Got
Its Somewhat Odd Name

The so-called compass plants get
their name from a habit of growth
brought about through self-preserva-
ton.
The plants, including the rosin weeds
and the prickly lettuce, usually pro-
duce fairly broad leaves, which grow
in horizontal position. III sections
where the air is particularly dry and
the sunlight inten.. one edge of the
leaf usually curls straight upward,
in order that a thin edge may be
presented to the whitening rays of the
sun.
BY this means, the flatter surfaces
face the morning and evening rays
Of the sun, which are, of course, less
intense, while to the midday sun, the
plant presents only the thin edge.
In sections where this growing habit
is common, the effect is striking.
