Idea of the Lifeboat
Credited to Enrlishman

The first lifeboat to be stationed
on any coast in the world is said to
have been a cobble converted to the
purpose by an English coach builder,
Lionel Lukin, in 1855. The year be.
fore he had taken out patent for an
Interchangeable boat" made out Of a
Norwegian yawl. The second boat was
stationed at Marlborough, on the
Yorkshire coast of England, where by
permission of Archdeacon Sharp por.
ton of the castle was set aside as a
watchtower, from which Holy island
could be signaled whenever vessel
was seen to be in distress. Lukin's
boat did good service and saved many
lives. After an appalling shipwreck a
quarter Of mile from the coast at
South Shields, in 1889, committee Of
South Shields Inhabitants offered a
prize for model lifeboat, and
Mr.. Greathead built the first actual
lifeboat, naming it the "Original."
When in 1870 another ship was
wrecked In almost the same spot, the
Original brought every one to safety,
whereas in the shipwreck Of 1889 all
had been drowned in sight of helpless
onlookers.

Found II Impossible to
Locate Man.EatiHp Tree

There are undoubtedly plants which
entrap and deyour insects, and one
from india which lures mice by an
odor and traps and consumes the ro-
dent, but no one has been able to
prove the existence of the nman-ent-
Ing tree Of Madagascar" This story
was started about half a century ago
by a traveller who wrote a letter to a
friend in Europe Of having witnessed
a sacrlficlal ceremony where woman
was made martyr, forced to meet
death In the embrace OF one Of these
trees. The story Travelled around the
world and persisted to such an extent
That many travellers and scientists who
have visited the country since have
made efforts to verify the story. Dr.
Ralph Linton Of the Field anthropol-
ogical expedition spent two years in
Madagascar and tried to locate man.
eating tree. He encountered several
persons who believed that such thing
existed, but the tree was always In
some other part OF the country, and he
arrived at the conclusion that the
story was myth.

Handb.ll Irish Pa,time

Handball originated in Ireland
about 1000 years ago, and is often
considered one Of the national games
OF that country. It is now played by
more men in America than anywhere
else in the world. The first scientific
handball player was really developed
about 1850, when William Baggs Of
Tiperary originated new ways of hit
ting the ball in curves, low drives and
screw losses. The first international
match ever played was the Lawlor-
Casey match, in 1887, with the prize OF
$1,000 for the best of 81 games, 10 in
Cork and II in the United States.
Lawlor won games to 4 in Cork, and
Casey won straight in New York
Casey retained his title against all
Corners until 1900, when, he retired.
Since 1900 the game has developed
in two separate games, a one-wall
game and four-wall game, both OF
which are played by amateurs in sin
giles and doubles.

No Method Yet Found
Of Squaring the Circle

The problem Of squaring the circle
is not problem Of drawing square
around circle. The latter is easily
done by making the side Of the square
the same length as the diameter of
the circle. As stated by all recognized
authorities, the problem is to describe
a square which shall be exactly equal
in area to given circle. Since the
area Of circle Is a little over 314
(pi) times the square OF Its radius,
and since the length of side of an
equal square is the square root Of this
area, 1t will be seen that the only
problem OF quadrature or the squar-
ing Of the circle Is to get the exact
( value Of this fraction "pi." It has
been worked out by various mathematl-
clans to at least 7O7 places Of deci-
mails, which is far more exact than
is required for most practical pur-
poses, though theoretically It is i'm
I possible to determine It exactly. A
geometric solution of the problem;
that is, to describe square equal
in area to a given circle, by means
, Of rules and compasses alone, has
! also been shown to be Impossible,
I though approximate results can be
, obtained by various methods Detroit

Production Of Tung Oil
New American Industry

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has, after experimenting
for more than 20 years. developed a
new industry In this country that
promises much for the nation as a
whole, and for Florida In particular
Tung oil Is an essential element In
the manufacture of the better grades
OF paints and varnishes. In the past,
tung oil has had to be imported from
China, the only country in which tung
nuts were grown. Now China is, In
time, to lose Its best customer for this
product, for the Department Of Agri.
culture has demonstrated that the
tung tree can be successfully cultl-
waited In this country, and especially
In some sections Of Florida.
The actual experiment on a CONNER
cial scale started in Florida in 1923.
Whole groves of tung trees were plant.
ed, and these groves are now produc.
ing to the extent of close to 1900
pounds Of tung oil to the acre, a great.
er production than has been possible
In China. The experiment has proved
that the tree will mature to a profit
able bearing state within four or 1--WE
years. The life Of the tung tree is
about 80 years, with maximum pro.
duction stage reached at nine years.
No Insect or blight Of any kind at
tacks the trees or nuts, and no an.
imal or bird will touch them. The
trees are hardy and require only nor
NAL cultivation, less, it is said, than.
citrus fruits. The oil from the Flor
ida nuts is said to be superior to that
imported from China.

WINTER TIME ON PUGET SOUND.


The morning of cloudy day,
A misty rains falling
And by some open woodland way
A Chinese pheasant is calling.
Like red velvet heng In punches
Berries on Madrona trees
Blue wild pigeons come for lunches
Cooling softly amid green leaves.
A flock of juncoes settle down
Beside the bath placed for them,
Gather crumbs I've strewd around
Then in haste take flight again.
A small brown squirrel frisks on hi
way
With apple he swiped from me,
And he'll come back another day.
His loot is in yon old dead tree.
The grass grows green beside the trail
Beneath the cedars by the hill;
A flock of tinid brown CARRIED quail
Fly, and hide behind the mill.
Upon the waves the sea gulls float,
Or rise and graceful circle round,
Or perch upon yon old wrecked boat,
IT'S winter time on Puget Sound.

OKLAHOMA CITY

Oklahoma City has adopted plan that has largely reduced unemploy- ment in that city by requiring that an hour or so of labor be given the city in return for a meal. As soon as professional idlers learned that those who eat must work, they left for other places. According to the police departments of large cities, a very large proportion of the idlers will not work when they are offered employment. Many of those asking ion money to buy food will not eat when taken to place where meals are served. Times when labor is scarce is often the best period for the professional idIers and beggars, who are an entirely different breed from the average working man willing to work and work hard to support himself and family.

 "The settlement with Great Brit ain calls for annual average pay ments equivalent to 6-10 per cent of the total British budget expendi- lures; Belgium deyotes only 3 1-2 per cent of it's budget expenditures for this purpose, and Italy five per cent.
 This government asked and re- ceived no spells from the war. It spent billions of dollars and lost thousands of lives for the sake of re-estabIished peace. Now that peace has been restored, it is manifeatly unfair to expect American taxpayers to shoulder the financial burdens in- cured by other nations interested in the same cause.
 ''I regret to find that some Ameri- cans who do not feel the pinch of taxation in meagen incomes, are ad- yooating a transfer of Europe's debts to our own people. I propose to resist their efforts and to stand firmly against any further cancella- tion of war debts."
