XTdals Conceded to Be
Firat Makers of Soap
Made from goat's tallow and beech
wood ashes, the earliest forms of soap
were used by the ancient Inhabitants
of Germany to give a reddish color to
the hair, according to the records of
the historian, Pliny the elder, Al
though mixed into hard and liquid
material, it was not known as a
cleansing substance, but was often
employed in the treatment of skin
troubles.
The-Gauls, it Is said, introduced It
into other parts of the world.
Today the yearly production In the
United States is estimated to be
two and one-half billion pounds. Not
until about the Second century of the
Christian era was the product used
a cleansing article, it is claimed, and
an ancient factory for manufacturing
the material unearthed in the ruins of
Pompeii still contained- a quantity of
It in a good state of preservation.
Northern Spain and Marseilles later
became the chief centers of the in
dustry and produced large amounts of
the Castile variety from olive oil and
lye. Earlier accounts of the existence
of soap among Asiatic peoples are
believed to refer to some kinds of
mixtures which were devoted to pur
poses entirely apart „• from those of
dyes or cleaning substances.—Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
Some Preliminaries to - —f>
His Good Night*s Rest
CourUandt Bleecker, at a dinner on
fifth avenue, was talking about the
high prices in Europe since the war.
Yes, they are high sometimes, but
most of It is travelers’ _ tales. That
reminds me that I heard a good one
recently. It was a tale about Ceylon.
An American bad just arrived at
Colombo hotel and the chambermaid
said to him, as she put his bedroom in
order: ‘Have you asked at the office
for your frog, sirP ‘My frog?’ gasped
the American, ‘what do you mean?’
‘The frog to kill—your—cockroaches,
*ir. Make them give yon a young,
lean, muscular frog, a good jumper;
one that will clean out the cock
roaches thoroughly. Then, afterward,
when the cockroaches are all gone, you
must go down to the office again and
get your snake.’ ‘Snake? Holy
Moses l Why a snake?’ ‘A snake to
eat the frog, sir!’ replied the maid.
‘And then, as soon as the frog is
eaten, you must get out of bed and
kill the snake with a club; after that
you’ll be sure of a good night’s rest. » n
Example of the Bee
It is very important to remember,
says John Burroughs, the great natu
ralist, that the bee does not get honey
from the flowers; it makes honey from
what it gets from the flowers. What
it gets from the flowers is nothing but
sweetened water. The bee gets its
sweet water, retires, thinks It over and
by a private process makes its honey.
So many nature writers fail to profit
by the example of the bee. They go
Into the woods and come out again and
write about their experience—but they
don’t give us honey. They don’t retire
and subject what they find in the
woods to a private process. They give
us Just a little sweet water, pretty
thoroughly diluted. I have tried for
many years not to give the world Just
a bare record, but to flavor it with my
own personality.
V
Duck’s Use of Wings
Do ducks use their wings while
swimming under water? The question
is discussed frequently among sports
men and nature students, and opin
ions sometimes differ. Testimony of
reliable authorities, says Popular Me
chanics Magazine, supports the belief
that various species, of ducks nnd
grebes, loons and other diving birds do
not use their wings when swimming
beneath the surface for food or in
trying to escape capture. A ruddy
duck was observed on Lake Michigan
not long ago, feeding in fifteen or twen
ty feet of clear water. As it got well
* started on its downward plunge, the
wings, about two-thirds extended, were
used In quick, short strokes, at the
rate of aboht one a second, to assist
in propelling it and in rising to the
top, as well.
Bowls Were Not Alike
“A man selling pottery came to
Salem and rapped ut a certain lady’s
door,”' says the Boston Globe, He
was asked In. Just as he got inside
the door he dropped one of tlie bowls,
supposedly by mistake, and It did not
break. When in the kitchen he dropped
another, and then remarked to the
lady that hla bowls were guaranteed
not to break. She bought some, to be
paid for when delivered. When they
came she put them away to wait until
some of her friends would appear nnd
she would drop one for a surprise. A
friend finally arrived. The lady took
a pot from the shelf and dropped It
accidentally on purpose. It shattered
Into a thousand pieces—quite unlike
the rubber samples."
Batis of Civilization
Let us never forget that the culti
vation of the earth is the nffist im
portant labor 1 of man. Man may be
civilized in some degree without great
progress In manufactures and with
little commerce with his distant
neighbors. But without the cultiva
tion of the earth he is, in all coun
tries, a savage. Until he gives up the
chase, and fixes himself in some place,
and seeks a living from the earth, he
Is a roaming barbarian. When tillage
begins, other ar.ts follow. The farm
ers, therefore, are the founders of
civilization.—Daniel Webster.

otj VICTOR, COPY FLIGHT ROUS W.G.CHAPMAN SEAU
by
TD HO What rectly gets into other closer daily person to contact life comes than with a more doctor? its ro- di
mance, its hopes and defeats, its sordidness and
its uplifting qualities? Who else has the drama
of it all so constantly before his eyes?
This strange tale, eerie and mystifying in part, but filled
with passionate interest and charm is the romance of a
surgeon. Its heroine is a nurse. Its strongest scenes are
in a sanitarium. One of its rtiost effective climaxes takes
place at an operating table. Edifying and thrilling; a
story that engages the mind and the heart and does not
permit interest to lapse for an instant. One of the most
unusual and satisfactory of Victor Rousseau’s many
remarkable stories.

Redcar, Yorkshire, Sept. 30.—A
toad brought a new problem to the
golfing world the other day. In a
match between amateurs and profes
sionals, W. Loveridge landed his ball
in the rough, As the player np
proached, a large toad jumped up
and the ball, which had apparently
rested on the toad’s back, disappear
ed into a hole. To play the hall
Loveridge pushed the toad away, but
it jumped into the hole where the
ball had lodged, rendering it unplay
able.
The point at issue was whether, in
lifting out the ball and dropping it
to play the second hole, Loveridge
sltm-ild be penalized. It was ruled
that since the ball had been moved
by an agency outside the game, no
penalty should be incurred.
