Perfumed RaiubOWs

An idea which exists in some
country districts is, that there is an
odor attached to a rainbow. The
belief is really very ancient and is
mentioned by Pliny and Aristotle.
OF course there is no smell about
a rainbow, and the origin of the be-
lief is probably to be explained in
the following way: Everyone is IA
miliar with the increase of scent
given off by plants, shrubs, and
trees on a warm day after the
rain has been newly washed by
heavy rain. This state of affairs
would often naturally coincide with
the appearance of the rainbow.
Hence people jumped to the conclu-
sion that the odor which they noted
must be caused by the rainbow,
when, as a matter of fact, says the
Montreal Herald, it had nothing to
do with the wonderful arch in the
sky.

is not a country, not a political unit,

Early U. g.. France Treaties


On February 6, 1778, treaties Of
defensive alliance and commerce
were concluded between France and
the United States-the first foreign
recognition Of American independ-
ence. Carried by sailing vessel

tic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of the
documents did not reach congress
until May 2. Meanwhile, the pas
sage Of Lord North's Conciliatory
bills by the British parliament had
conceded practically every point
disputed by the colonists. Peace
commissioners were hurried from
England to America, in the hope of
reaching there before the news of
the French treaties could have its
effect on public opinion. They ar
lived about the middle of April, but
, little purpose Congress ratified
* French treaties on May 4.

Anthracite, Bituminous
Popular Kinds of Coal

Coal generally is divided into two
classes anthracite, or hard, and bi.
luminous, or soft. The main diff.
ferences, states writer in the Chi
cago Tribune, are in the amount %
carbon and volatile matter each con-
tains. The greater the amount OF
carbon the slower the coal burns;
the greater the amount of volatile
matter the faster it burns.
Anthracite coal was produced by
nature in the eastern part Of this
country under greater pressure and
heat than the bituminouS Goals found
farther west. Pocahontas coal, one
of the most widely used, is rated as
a semi-bituminous coal.
The following analysis of repre-
sentative grades of the various
types are given by an authority:
Anthracite: moisture, 1.50 per
cent; ash, 1915 per cent; volatile
matter, 1853 per cent; carbon, 84.41
per cent; British thermal units (b.
t. u.'s), 1921 per pound. In addi-
ton, there is 0.56 per cent sulphur
among the constituents.
Pocahontas: moisture, LIS per
cent; ash, SCI per cent; volatile
matter, 1925 per cent; carbon, 74.29
per cent; ID. t. u.'s), 1910 per
pound; sulphur, OTIS per cent.
High grade southern Illinois soft
coal: moisture, TIA per cent; ash,
1853 per cent; volatile matter, 1926
per cent; carbon, 1888 per cent;
ID. t. u.s., 1921 per pound; sui
phur, O.95 per cent.

The Feudal System

The feudal system prevailed In
most Of Europe during the Middle
ages, until about the end Of the
Fourteenth century, when the rise
Of absolute monarchy broke down
the local system. The increase Of
communication and the growth Of
the towns, with the expansion Of
the economic world after the Cru
sades, did much to destroy the feu-
dial classification Of society. The
system broke down gradually and in
France it was not completely de-
stroyed until the French revolution.
Old usages persisted in Germany
until the Nineteenth century and in
Russia until 1917. Many relics Of
feudalism persist and it has left it's
impress on almost all institutions Of
western Europe.

Rhea, of Ostrich Family,
Can Run az Miles an Hour

The rhea, a South American os-
trich, which attains a weight of so
pounds and can run up to At miles
an hour, leads polygamous life on
the plains, according to Field Mu-
scum authority.
Frequently there will be one male
and several females in a colony.
They will have common nest in
which the hens lay from 20 to As
eggs.
Then these big matrons take turns
sitting on the eggs, giving each
other a chance to range for food
and exercise themselves.
While the birds are not exceed
tngly rare, very few complete col
lections are to be found in museums
OF the world. The eggs average IL
pounds each. The birds and eggs
are unfit for human consumption.
The hoactzin is a marsh bird
with habits similar to the English
ringneck pheasant, except that it
nests in trees.
The young Of this bird, known
locally as the Sinking Hannah"
have two-jointed fingers or claws
formed on their wing tips. These
fall off after maturity. But when
the young, still unable to fly, are
frightened they will dive 20 feet out
of their nests, swim about for a
few minutes, then climb a tree,
with the aid of their fingers, and
resume their places in the nest.

ParanneSia

People sometimes have the feel
ing of having been in the same stu
alton before This is known as par
amnesia. 1t is a common expert
ence, and, briefly explained, the re-
action depends upon a little trick
Of the mind manifested by a mo-
mentary loss of sense of time and
space. The individual enters into
an experience or a situation, OBJ
tains a fleeting impression of this
situation, then the attention is mo-
mentarily attracted to something
else. The period of time may be
almost infnitesimal. Then upon the
return of the attention to the orig
inal situation. this lapse Of time is
lost to the individual and the period
between the two experiences seems
occasionally to expand into a long
period. even into the remote past.

Robert Morris Financial
Aid in Washin1ton's Time


Robert Morris, called the ''finan-
cier Of the (American) Revolution"
was born In England, January 81.
1874. but came to the Colonies when
he was just q boy and began to build
. considerable fortune.
A member Of the Continental con-
gress, he was reluctant at first to
sign the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. After he had changed his
mind, writes Leslie Hartley In the
Washington Star, his financial aid
proved invaluable, and without his
help Washington's soldiers at Val
ley Forge and at the battles Of
Princeton and Trenton would have
found It almost impossible to sur
vive.
An optimiSt and q born promoter,
Morris possessed an uncanny abil-
ity to secure loans which served the
Continental army well throughout
the war. When Washington was
forming his cabinet he requested
Morris to serve as secretary Of the
treasury, but the latter declined,
naming Alexander Hamilton In his
stead. He served in congress, how
ever, as one Of the first two sena-
tors from Pennsylvania.
It was the irony Of fate that the
affairs Of the king Of American
financiers" should become so In
volved that he was thrown into pris-
on for his debts, to be released only
under the bankruptcy act. He died
a few years later, q broken-hearted
old man.

Dutch OlYkoekS

Dutch olykoeks, or stuffed raised
doughnuts, were made with great
ceremony. The yeast was set to
tighten little after noon. Just be-
fore supper this was made into a
rich dough by the addition of many
eggs, much butter, and nutmeg fla
voring. At bedtime the dough was
meaded. Next morning it was
shaped into balls, each stuffed with
a mixture of chopped apple, raisins,
and candied peel. These were left
to rise until after dinner, when they
were cooked in hot fat and then
rolled generously in sugar,

Many Findings to Novel

Probably no novel in history has
had more endings than 1.-THE Mys-
terry Of Edwin Brood" which
Charles Dickens was writing when
he died suddenly in 1870. AS Dick
ems left no notes about how he in
tended to end the story, notes
writer in Golfers Weekly, more
than a hundred writer's have at
tempted to complete it, one being
q spiritualist, who claimed that his
ending was authentic because he
had obtained his facts directly from
Dickens spirit.

seats as theirs!
The bailiff on the public door is
a man of small stature. In the
rush to get seats Wednesday he
was almost crushed!
Practically all of the ministers
of Minneapolis and two from st.
Paul were present in the court
room Wednesday.
The fair sex was out en- masse.
Mrs. Carrie Neal, wife of the de-
PENDANT, closely followed every bit
of the testimony.
During the day q crowd which
could not gain entrance because of
lack of seats milled about the cor
ridOrs discussing the case.
During the recess for lunch,
from 1890 to 2 p. m, many per-
sons did not go to lunch, but lined
up at the court room door to stand
and wait for one and one-half
hours to gain entrance to the trial
for the afternoon sessions.
A few well-knOwns, noticing the
door used by newspaper people to
gain entrance to the court, were
seen to take advantage by illegally
using that entrance also.
Three reporters from this paper
covered the trial. This paper was
the only Negro journal which COW
cred all sessions. ]. w. Pate was
on the job throughout the proceed
ings. De Velma Strong and c. E.
Newman also got sidelights on the
trial.
Dan Webb of the 500 Line sits
close to the jury box and openly
makes remarks to persons close by
him and laughs and grimaces while
Squire Neal testifes.
St. Paul was well represented at
the sessions.
500 Line Special Agent Strand
and Oman NOtesteen gained the
good will of the spectators by their
seeming unbiased testimony.
Sitting with Mrs. Neal through
out the trial has been Mrs. Car
lyle F. Stewart, wife of Rev. C. F.
Stewart, Minneapolis pastor.
Women complained because the
women's rest room on the 4th floor
of the Federal Bldg. was locked
after the first day of the trial be-
gan.
Inquiry revealed the claim by one
of the janitOrs that whenever a big
trial was in progress the wOmen's
room was always locked.

largest construction program in
American history during its first
four years of existence, the Fed
eral Emergency Administration of
Public Works has entered the third
month of its fifth year, prepared
to eclipse its past achievements, &C.
cording to Kenneth A. Goodwin,
PWA Regional Director for Cali
fornia, Arizona, Utah and Nevada
Is statement issued today at
San Francisco, Regional Headquart-
ers Mr.. Goodwin intimated it is his
expectation that this agency inevi-
tably will become a permanent de-
partment of the Federal govern
ment due to what he terms ''Its
proven value as an effective weap-
on against economic reverses."
"Inasmuch as PWA made poss-
ible four-fifths of all public con-
struction in the United States after
building had reached a standstill
and thereby created four one one
half billion man hours of work at
prevailing wages when re-employ-
ment of idle men was not needed,
| think it has won its permanent
place in the sum-" he declared.
more than a billion and a quarter
dollars have been spent for ma
tsrials. A large part of this latter
sum went into pay envelopes, help
ing to restore purchasing power
and doing much to revive indus
