Air Spaces In Eggs

The air spaces in eggs are sup
posed to aid in the development OF
the embryo chick. The chick makes
use of the air in this pocket dur
ing the brief period between the
time when ii begins to breathe and
the time when it is strong enough
to break through the shell with its
beak. This air sac enlarges ma
terially during incubation, and in a
normal egg the chick at Matching
time always has its head pointing
toward the large end of the egg and
the air space. 1t is the opinion OF
the United States bureau of animal
industry that the air sac is formed
by the contraction of the contents
of the egg Immediately after it is
laid. The temperature of an ordi-
nary hens body is about lot de-
grees Fahrenheit, and it is reason
able to suppose that as soon as an
egg is laid the yolk and white con-
tract somewhat. Because OF the pc
culiar shape of the egg the all
space is nearly always formed al
the large end. Now and then il
occurs on the side, but never at the
mall end.

It may seem illogical to say that
America of today had its origin in
the West Indies. But such is a
fact. asserts writer in the Chicago
Tribune, and that is why many peo-
pie visit the islands of the Carib-
bean.
It is easy to picture the buccaneers
and their victims, and the wild de-
bauchery in which the loot was
spent Those bearded pirates were
the gunner of their period and they
didn't bother much about Hands
upi" or Don't move or I'll shoot
They began to shoot as soon as they
got into range. Hundreds of mil
lions of gold were collected by these
freebooters, and much of il is buried
somewhere between the tropic of
Cancer and the equator.
Mention of the West Indies brings
TO mind a flood of recollections-
pictures of Columbus, the discover
err; De Leon, who loved Porto Rico
so much that he sought the feun-
tain of youth so that he might grow
young again to enjoy all the longer
its beauties; De Soto, who built the
old fort which stands IN Havana,
and who sleeps in the bottom of
the Mississippi river, which he dis
covered; Cortez, who found a splen-
did civilization in Mexico and
wrecked it for the sake Of goffdii1 b Bal +
boa, the stowaway, who discovered
the Pacific ocean; Pizarro, who
spent a dozen or more years In his
efforts to reach Peru so that he
might rob the Incas of their vast
wealth, Morgan, who sacked and
burned Panama after his men had
obtained its treasures, Drake, the
privateer, who was just a pirate
with new name; Raleigh, who pop
ularized tobacco and the potato;
Josephine, the little girl from Mar
Unique who became the wife OF Ma
poleon and thus the empress oil
France.

Kitchen Cabinet" Made
Up of Jackson's Friends

The name Kitchen cabinet was
applied by John Randolph, of Roa-
noke, to small group of intimate
friends of President Jackson. Al
though these men held no impor-
tant offices at the time, notes a
writer in the Indianapolis News,
they seemed to influence the Presi-
dents political actions more than
did his official cabinet.
The moving spirit of the Kitchen
cabinet" was Amos Kendall of Ken
lucky, who was fourth auditor of
the treasury, although he later be-
came postmaster general. Other
members of this coterie were Gen.
Duff Green, editor of the United
States Telegraph, the administra-
ton organ at Washington; Maj. Will
liam B. Lewis of Tennessee, sec
ond auditor of the treasury; Isaac
Hill. editor of the New Hampshire
Patriot, and later Francis F. Blair,
Sr., who was editor of the Globe,
which in 1881 superseded the Unit
ed States Telegraph as the admin
istration organ at the capital.
1t is said that when these men Wis
tied President Jackson they went
through the back or kitchen door
In order to avoid public notice. Ran
dolph declared that this little coterie
of intimate friends of the Presiden'
decided the great affairs OF state
while the members of the ofticla
9cabinet were asleep.

Many Kinds of Sponges,
Suitable for All Uses

There are more than eighty vari-
cites of disable sponges, and thou-
sands of useless ones. The kina
used in the bath is known as wool.
Another sort, called velvet, is used
to wash automobiles, and IN Hoi-
land COWS just before they are
MIXED. The reef sponge is USED
in gas masks and In hospitals, and
shipped in enormous quantities TO
Japan. Englishmen use this variety
after shaving. The grass sponge is
the cheapest grade. The hard head
is used by tailors and potters. and
the yellow sponge by painters.
Sponge fishermen locate their
prey through water glass,
which is an inverted bucket with
glass bottom that smooths out the
ripples when it is held on top OF
the water. The fishermen pull the
sponges out of the sea with
pronged staff. When taken from
the mud, the sponges are put IN
kraals, where they are kept until the
flesh decomposes, when it is beaten
out with sticks.
At Nassau the sponges are taken
to storehouses, where they are sort
ed and graded, trimmed and
pressed. Some are dyed and per-
fumed. When royal persons visit
Nassau they are given rose-seented
pink sponges.
There is a place in the Bahamas
called the Mud, automatically and
libelously named, for the water Is
clear as crystal. 1t is from the Mud
that the sponges come.

First Color OF French Flag

While it is not usual to associate
red with the French monarchy, it
was really the first color of the
kings flag, called the orif1amme.
1t is only because red was also
adopted by the English king that
the French gave it up for blue. 1t
was under the blue flag that Hugue-
nots came TO America first as loyal
subjects of the king of France. How
ever, the red flag was preserved
on the galleys of the Mediterranean
fleet where terrible suffering was
endured by the unhappy men who
could not understand the injustice Of
the king.

Panama Cities Founded
Several Centuries Ago

Cristobal, Canal Zone, Atlantic
port of entry to that strip of leased
territory across the narrow part of
the republic of Panama, is the
gateway to scene that dates back
through the centuries. Panama City
and Colon are ancient and colorful,
and Cristobal and Balboa are mod
ern and military.
Panama City and Colon are not
outgrowths of the building of the
canal. They are cities founded, four
centuries ago, the terminals OF a
paved causeWay built to carry the
unrecorded riches of the conquista-
dores, with legend of pirates, buc-
cancers, and the freebooters of the
Spanish Main. A kaleidoscope of
nations, they owe their atmosphere
to a commerce originating in the
Fifteenth century. The parade OF
nations began with the Spaniards
and negro slaves, Inca chiefs and
native Indians, and was carried on
by the English buccaneers, the
French corsairs, the forty-niners.
Hindus, Chinese, and Arabs. De-
scendants of these early merchants
pass through the streets, displaying
their wares in open shops that give
the thoroughfares the atmosphere
of an oriental bazaar.
Balboa and Cristobal contrast
sharply with Panama City and Colon
in all respects except natural tropic
beauty. They are a result of the
canal, with wharves, customs
houses, drydocks, administration
buildings, rows of houses and q
pgte, of military efficiency.

Today is a happy one for Mr..

Redwood who are observing their
golden wedding and looking back
over the incidents of so years of
marriage and rearing family.
The couple were married April
IA, 1888, but Mrs. Moritz said
Wednesday they are not planning

when relatives of Milwaukee
will come here.
Rev. M. Gagstetter, pastor of

performed the ceremony in his
home. The couple bought few
pieces of furniture from the min
lister, as he was moving away
and took it to a small log house
on their farm in Delhi township
where they set up housekeeping.
Hard work through the years
brought its attendant improve
ments on the farm, their land
holdings were increased and a
fine house built to replace the
primitive one of pioneer days.
Recalling some of the expert
ences of the times, Mrs. Moritz
tells of coming from st. Paul,
where she worked in a clothing
store, to North Redwood to be
married. She rode on the first
