Scissors Long in Use

1t was formerly believed that scis-
sors were invented in Venice in the
Sixteenth century, but records show
that implements similar to our modern
scissors were in use very much earlier
than this period. In the remains Of
Pompeii shears were found made of
iron and steel as well as bronze. Scis-
sors were also in use in various orr
entail countries from very early Pc
Rod. 1t is stated that those manufac-
tured in Europe were copied from the
Persian. The oriental scissors were
very much ornamented and frequently
in the form of bird, the blade form
ing the beak.

WailinR Wall Long Moslem

Jerusalem's wailing wall is not a
remnant Of the temple of Solomon and
contains no remnants of the temple of
Solomon, writes Vincent Sheehan in
the magazine Asia. There are no rem
nants Of the temple of Solomon any
where. The wall does contain three
courses of masonry in its lower levels
which are undoubted remnants of the
Greco-Roman temple built by Herod
the Great to conciliate the Jewish
nation, which did not recognize him
as its king. The greater part of the
wall is Moslem and forms part Of the
wall of the Haram es-Sharif. It has
been Moslem property for 1900 years.

Deadliest of Snakaa

The king cobra is much more rare
than the hooded cobra, for he is the
most poisonous snake in the world.
Yet, notwithstanding his rarer occur
renee, he is responsible for many Of
the 10000 deaths, which, according to
official statistics, are caused yearly by
poisonous snakes in India alone. A
man bitten by king cobra will rarely
live an hour, and death has been
known to come within five minutes
after the bite. 1t is remarkable that
the king cobra is as immune to the
bite of the rattlesnake as he is to the
bite Of his own species or to that Of
any snake of his native clime.-Ex-

ROYALTY and Whiskers

Kings in the early and romantic
days of France, to ratify a momen-
tous document, stuck In the seal three
hairs from the royal beard. There is
in existence charter dated 1121, in
which declaration is made that it is so
sealed. In Spain the beard prevailed
until the time of Philip V, who being
himself beardless set the style for
smooth faces; and the people attested
their grief in the saying, "Since we
have lost our boards we have lost
our souls" The pictures of King Hen
ry VIII Of England show us a royal
visage; but without his marvellous
whiskers he would be but fat man.

Nearly 200 years ago the slaughter

oil hunters. until by the beginning Of

Hard and Soft SoIders

Soldering operations are classified,
according to the composition of the al
10y used, as either soft soldering or
hard soldering. Soldiers Of low melt
ing points, composed mainly. of lead
and tin in varying amounts, are known
as soft soldiers, while those of high
melting points, composed Of varying
amounts of copper, brass, zinc, silver
and gold, are known as hard soldiers.
The soft solder commonly used is made
up of half lead and half tin, and melts
at temperature Of $40 degrees Fab
renheit. The more lead there is in
this alloy the higher is its melting
point, and an alloy composed of one
part tin and two parts lead melts at
AL degrees Fahrenheit.

The Philadelphia Athletics con-
tinued gradually to lose ground by
dividing a twin bill with the New
York Yankees, while the Washington
Senator'S won twice from the Bos-
ton Red Sox and moved within 515
games of first place in the American
League.
The temporary collapse Of the in
jury-riddled Cubs has opened the
way for another contender to edge
it's way to the fore, but the second
place New York Giants seem un-
able to grasp their biggest oppor-
tunity of the season.
Twice within two days the Giants
have divided double headers with
the second division Boston Braves
and Phillies when a clean sweep of
the four games would have hoisted
McGraw's men within two games of
the National League peak.
Brooklyn seems definitely out Of
the National League race, playing
listlessly after the Robins disastrous
western trip. The Robins divided a
double-header Monday with the
Braves and dropped to fourth place,
five games behind the Cubs.
The st. Louis Cardinals have def
nitely moved into a strong contend
ing position in the National League
race and are now playing the best
ball in the circuit. Winning twice
from Pittsburgh Monday the Car
dinals passed the Robins and
climbed into third place only half
a game behind the Giants and Az
games back of the Cubs.
The Giants will have further OPP
portunity to improve their position
the next few days when they play
one game with the Phillies and six
with the Braves, while the Cubs will
be pitted against the Pirates in five
games. After today, Brooklyn does
not have another game until Sat-
urday. while the Cardinals are idle
until Thursday.
