Eureka" Exclamation of
Delight, Authority Says

The story concerning an ancient
philosopher and the exclamation.
Eureka" follows:
Eureka (Gr., more correctly, Heure'-
ka-I have found it): An exclamation
of delight at having made a discovery;
originally that of Archimedes, the
Syracusan philosopher, when he dis
Hiero'S crown. The tale is that Hero
delivered a certain weight of gold to
smith to be made into a vOtive
crown, but, suspecting that the gold
had been alleged with an inferior
metal. asked Archimedes to test it.
The philosopher did not know how
to proceed but, in stepping into his
bath, which was quite full. observed
that some of the water ran over. It
Immediately struck him that a body
must remove its own bulk Of water
when it is immersed; silver is lighter
than gold, therefore a pOundweight Of
silver will be more bulky than
pOundweight of gold, and would con-
way he found that the crowd was de-
ficient in gold; and Vitruvius says:
when the idea flashed across his
mind. the philosopher jumped out Of
the bath, exclaiming, 'Heure'ka!
Heure'ka! and. without waiting to
dress himself, ran home to try the
experiment"

Australian Sheep Dogs
Headed by Kelpie, Barb

It Is difficult to convince the Aus
tralian or the New Zealand shepherd
that the work of all herding dogs is
about alike. He prefers to believe that
none of the wonderfully trained Ger
man, Belgium, Pyrennean. Scotch or
English breeds of herding dogs quite
reach that standard of perfection he
finds in his hardy and reliable Kelpie
and Barb, says a writer in the Los
Angeles Times.
Uncertainty marks the ancient origin
of most sheep dogs. The Australian
dogs are no exception. We have heard
too often the fanciful story of the wolf
strain in the German and Belgium
shepherd dogs. The like assertion is
made of the prick-eared Kelpie, Of his
relationship with the native wild dog,
the Dingo, which is supposed to have
produced his fOx-like face. Black, he
stands 2 feet high and weighs IS
pounds.
The smaller Barb more closely re-
sembles the Scotch collie or our small
black and white working collie. He
works admirably, combining his busy
movements to the driving and herding.
With remarkable speed and almost hu-
man-acting mind, he performs work in
dicative of quick thought. Seldom does
he circle the herd should his presence
be needed at the opposite side. Cover
ing the shortest line between two
points, he travels at great speed, run
ming over the backs of his charges, his
light feet carrying him with the sure
footedness of terrier scurrying over
rocks.

The Word Console"

The word console" was taken from
the French early in the Eighteenth
century, and with its original meaning,
as term in architecture It's etymol-
ogy is doubtful, possibly from the verb
consolider, to consolidate. The term
originally denoted a bracket or corbel,
either ornamental or for supporting
cOrnice or fixture. Toward the close
of the Nineteenth century, in organ
building, the meaning was extended to
denote the portion of the instrument
containing the manuals and stops. The
considerable, in which the table was
supported wholly or ir part by con-
soles, or whose legs had the appear
ance Of consoles, originated in the
early Nineteenth century. But the
meaning of the word console is entire
ly missing In its application to the mod
ern gas-range.-Literary Digest.

Thimbles, Ancient Device,
Long Known to Old World

Thimbles' did not come into general
use in England until the latter part
of the Seventeenth century The lit
tie device was known to the Egyp-
tians and Romans, for articles of
similar pattern have been found among
Egyptian ruins, and the Romans. &C
cording to Seneca, performed the
find the little pea" trick with the
brass or bronze ancestor Of the mod
ern thimble.
The first machine-made thimbles
were turned out in Holland in 1893, by
John Lofting, a Dutch inventor to
whom the patent was granted. Silver
and gold were the materials first en-
plOyed and only well-tO-dO could af-
ford to buy them. Later when they
were made of cheaper metal. prac-
tically everybody used them. The
name which the Dutch first gave them,
translated literally. meant finger
hood" The English, however, soon sup
piled their own name Of 'thumb-bell,"
derived from the bell-like shape of the
little article and from the early prac-
tice of wearing it on the thumb to
ward off the point of the needle.
About $50 years ago the quaint GUS
tom sprang up of inscribing pOsies
and fOrget-me-nOts inside the Thin
BILE and it is said that in those days
the thimble served the same tender
purpose as the engagement ring of to-
day. Leather thimbles were at one
time introduced, but soon proved them
selves unsatisfactory.

Eish's 26 Million Epas

The ling the most prolific of food
fishes, lays over 26,OOO,OOO eggs during
the spawning period, while the herring
only averages 36,OOO The turbot is
the second most prolific fish. averaging
9,0OO,0OO eggs, while the cod comes
next with 5,0OO.OOO All this seems
contradictory when one considers the
millions of behring's landed annually
compared with the number of other
fishes. The reason Is that all the
eggs laid by these fish do not come
to maturity. The eggs of the ling, for
instance. float on the water and many
are eaten by other fish, The her
rings eggs sink and thus escape de-
structiOn.

Chinese Used Big Rollers
to Produce Their Sugar

While American pioneers were grind
fury or more ago, Chinese immigrants
in Hawaii were producing sugar in the
same manner.
Two rollers, believed to have been
imported from South China more than
100 years ago, were found under the
ruins of one of the territory's first SUI
gar mills, near Honolulu, says the San
Francisco Chronicle.
The rollers, weighing more than a
ton each, were turned by horse power
to crush the stalks and produce the
juice from which sugar was boiled.
Several mills were in use in recent
times in FOrmOsa and the Philippines,
where communities produce their own
sugar.
Steam-driven machinery in more
than 80 mills in Hawaii produces more
than 100000 tons of sugar annually.
The rollers were set up in the orig
inal manner at Honolulu by the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters association
through cooperation IF the Hawaiian
Historical society.
The society's files reveal information
on how the mill was assembled when
it was first taken to the islands, and
the operation was duplicated.
One of the stone rollers is driven
by wooden arm to which a horse or
mule is hitched. Wooden cogs at
tached to this roller drive the other
one. The stalks Of cane are fed in by
hand.

Early Cannons Smoothbores

All OF the early cannon, except q
few only that were entirely expert
mental, were smoothbores, shooting
round shot, the first of stone and the
later of metal, says a writer In the
Chicago Tribune. A round shot fired
from smoothbore cannon was as life
less as the knuckle ball or slow ball
thrown by the present-day baseball
pitcher. 1t journeyed through the air
with little if any turn, piled up cush-
ion of air before it, and fell to earth
much more quickly than the projectile
Of rified gun, that literally bores its
way through the air.

Worlds Largest Bed

Do you know which is the worlds
largest bed? In the famous Victoria

ancient and famous BED of Ware"
1t is II feet long. and -. feet wide, and
will comfortably accommodate a dozen
sleepers. Originally it stood in the
manor house at Ware Later 1t was
moved to an inn in the same village
and the records of that hostelry relate
that the bed frequently saw service
"for as many as IL frolicksome sleep
ers. Shakespeare gave the relic un-
dying fame by mentioning it In his
Twelfth Night in the line: although
the sheet were big enough for the Bed
Of Ware."-PearSon's Weekly.
