Dam Built in Air.

A novel and daring piece Of engi-
neering was recently accomplished in
the building Of temporary dam across
the upper part Of the Saguenay River,
about $50 miles north Of the City OF
Quebec. This stream flows through q
gorge and the current is so great that
the usual methods of dam construction
were not readily available and the idea
occurred to the engineer to build q
large, heavy. reinforced concrete tower
or 'obelisk," OF the proper length and
curved so as to fit as nearly as possible
the bottom of the river, on a concrete
pier at the edge of the river at q con-
yenient place upstream from the power
dam: and then. by blasting away a
small portion Of the pier. that the
obelisk be tipped over into the river so
that 1t would become q dam. This
scheme worked out successfully, al
though 1t was for temporary purposes,
only to divert the water while the
power dam was under construction.

Characters That Live
In Worlds Literature

Frequently In the worlds literature
q character wholly imaginary becomes
so well known as to give his name
to the language. Such a character
Is Rodomont (the Italian significance
Of the name being "CNe who rolls

cording to Webster's New Interna-
tional dictionary, we get our useful
word rodomontade, which means
"vain Boosting, empty buster or
Wanting, rant"
Rodomont is a Moorish hero and
warrior-brave, boastful, and fierce.
He figures prominently as the king
Of Algiers in the works of two Ital-
ian poets of the Fifteenth century.

CHEESE sTRAws
BY GRACE WALL GRAY

Cheese straws made at home are
one of the most appetizing delicacies
one can serve with soup or salad. The
only way / can account for their not
being served more frequently is that
there must be some idea lurking in
the back of most womens minds that
cheese straws are difficult, tricky
things to make successfully. If this
is how you feel about it, do try this
recipe at the first opportunity!
Take a cur full of self-rising flour,
which is simply soft wheat flour that

blended into it in the right proportions

History Made on the
Plain of Armageddon

That ancient river, the "Kishon"
Judges 5 :21), is formed by the con-
junction of two streams, one having
Its source in springs at the base Of
Mount Gilboa, flowing in northwest
eriy direction, the other at Mount
Tabor, which flows almost due west
and then south to the junction Of the
two at the fertile plain of Esdraelon.
Thence the Kishon follows the valley
Of Megiddo, watering the plain of
Armageddon, one of the famous bat
tie grounds of the world.
With that river and plain are as
ISOLATED the names of Deborah and
Barak, Gideon and his chosen three
hundred champions. Saul and Jona-
than, his valiant soldier son, Josiah
and the Egyptian Pharaoh-Necho and

skirted the plain and crossed the river
not far from its mouth, having re-
lieved his armies of the burden of
their sick and wounded by the alleged
poison massacre near Joppa.

across it after the encircling march

German Court Decides
Right of Lion Tanner

One of the few remaining preroga-
tives of free men in these times OF
restrictions has just been preserved
by the public-spirited action of Ger
man lion tanner. It is the right not
only to go into lions dens, but to put
your head, If you wish to, into the
lions mouth. For the police Of a
Prussian townlet, to which the lion
tanner came in the course of his wan
derings, positively forebade him to do
this. It was dangerous. 1t was nerve
racking to watch. and 1t simply must
be stopped. Precisely this act, how
ever, was the great concluding item
of the program, which had earned
the tanner and his lions their bread
for many a year.
Rightly believing that far fewer
people would pay for admission IL
there were no risk Of his head being
bitten off, the lion tanner invoked the
law He appeared in person before
a Berlin court to plead his right to
put his head between the lions jaws
if he wished. The bench decided that
each man might do with his head as
he wished, the police ban was
quashed. and the lion tanner. having
indicated the rights of man. left the
court In triumph.

How Plants "Emigrate"

No less than 52S species of plants
from other lands have made them
selves at home in New Zealand. This
is wonderful example of the manner
In which plants find their way all
over the world, for it is only 80 years
since the British began to settle there.
Many of these migrant plants are COM
mon weeds of the English country
side and have been introduced acct
dentally among other seeds, or have
escaped from gardens. Now they have
spread to all sorts of places and are
firmly established on roadsides and
waste lands.-London Tit-Bits.

Balkan Village Dance =
That Induces Epilepsy

Serbian scientists have published
their report ON a visit made at Whit
sun to a village near Pozharevatz.
where they were present at the Whit.
suntide dances, at which the women OF
the village fall into various forms OF
ecstasy and trance. The village Is that
Of Duboka, in the heart Of a district
mainly inhabited by people known In
Serbia as the Serbo-Wallachians.
The facts of the Whitsuntide mani
festations, although simple to explain
are none the less remarkable. There
are dances, the ordinary chain dance
which holds in various forms through
out the Balkan peninsula, and at these
dances the women, one by one. fall
into frances or forms Of epilepsy.
When this happens they are carried
off by special dancers, who have the
title of kings and queens, and peculiar
dances, with incantations sung. ara
used to bring them back to a normal
state. Cases are known OF young
being taken with the WhitsundHy
manifestations, and these young girls
are marked down as those who will
carry on the tradition during the com.
ing generation.
1t must be remarked that these peo-
pie are extremely degenerate. The
conceptions of morals are those OF q
much earlier epoch, and, indeed, point
to the earlier matriarchal state Of
society. Marriage is regarded in the
most casual way, and man or woman
changes partners as fancy pleases.

Just as the flavor of foods can
be spoiled by under cooking or over
cooking, so the flavor of coffee
can be spoiled by under-ro asting or
over-roasting. Realizing this, Hills
Bros. invented and patented a
marvellous process. 1t insures per-
feet roasting = all the time! 1t is
called Controlled Roasting.
AS the accuracy of the hour glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow =. little at time ;. so the
uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee
rs produced by Controlled Roasting
49, the patented process that roasts
evenly, continuously a little at
time. Automatic control Of heat
jnsures an even, perfect roast for
every berry. Naturally, the result
ing flavor is uniformly delicious.
Ordinary coffees are roasted in
bulk - several hundred pounds at
a time. Therein lies the cause Of
a faulty roast. For it is impossible
TO always roast each big batch to
the same degree.
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans. Air, which destroys
the flavor of coffee, is removed and
kept out of these cans. Ordinary,
"air-tight" cans won't keep coffee
fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee is
always fresh! Order some today.
