STUDY' MAN-MADE LIGHTNING
Engineers Confident That Experiments
Going On Will Prove to Be
Successful.
Two-mIUIon-volt artificial lightning
Is being cheated In the research
laboratprles of the General Electric
company, Pittsfield, Mass., In order
that buildings and high power electrical
transmission lines may be protected
against the powerful "electrical dyna
mite” that nature discharges during
storms, reports the Kansas City Star.
F. W. Peer, Jr., engineer in charge
of the spectacular experiments now In
progress, explains that In addition to
the trouble that engineers have In
keeping power current from escaping
from the conductors there Is the very
Important problem of lightning pro
tection. A few million horsepower are
released In a fraction’ of a millionth of
a second when lightning crashes. Elec
trical engineers must know how to
prevent this destructive force from
reaching the conductors of power
lines or they must arrange so that It
will discharge harmlessly to the ground
when it does get to the line.
The highest voltage actually used at
the present time for the commercial
transmission of power Is 220.000 volts
on a line In California, but the General
Electric company has an experimental
million-volt line. Mr. Peek declared
that It Is too early to say whether such
high voltages will ever be acquired In
practice.
She Had it Right.
Two Irishmen had visited St. Paul’s
cathedral. One was from the country
and had been taken to the famous
building by his friend, who wished
him to be duly Impressed by Its gran
deur. ,:i
As they came out, the resident of
the city said:
"Well, Mike, and phwat do you
think of it? Isn’t It grand?”
"Pat,” .said the one from the coun
try, "It bates the divll 1”
'That,” said his friend, “was the
Intention.”
Every.Day Is Sabbath Day.
Every day is Sabbath somewhere In
the world. The Greeks observe Mon
day; the Russians Tuesday: the As
syrians Wednesday; the Egyptians
Thursday; the Turks Friday; the Jew 1 -
Ish people Saturday, and the Christians
Sunday.

AMAZED' AT YANKEE TEETH -
French Farmers Marveled at the 8lght
of Doughboys Seemingly En
joying Cow Fodder.
The French lockkeeper Is sometimes
an old soldier, but oftener Is some
black-clad woman who took up her bus-
band's duties when be was called to the
front, and who (for be never came
bade) will continue them until her
little Francois la grown up—or. as she
sometimes sadly puts It, “Until be
comes back safe, as I hope, from the
next war, m’siSn.”
For five more days we paddled along
the 100-kilometer stretch of stream
that unfurls Itself ribbonlike among
rolling; windmill-topped slopes be
tween Redon and Nantes, writes Mel
ville Chater In the National Geographic
Magazine.
We found that the couptryslde still
fondly recalled tbe passage of Ameri
can troops in 1918—bow they bad
swum in the canal and bad given the
children little packets of chewing gum
and had strangely delighted in con
suming covtr fodder.
This last detail was related to us
by a farmer, who added: “Most vig
orous young men those, m’sleu. Won
derful teeth, wonderful stomachs. How
they could even digest that stuff was
the wonder of tbe Countryside.” And
he pointed to one of those fine fields
of Indian corn which in France are
cultivated exclusively as cattle food.
“Why, that's easy,” we confided; “all
Americans eat that” And we de
scribed the manner of preparing and
dispatching an ear of corn. Suddenly
a light broke on the listener's face:
“Ah,” he exclaimed, “I understand.
Then one doesn’t /eat It cob and all,
like the cow; one just picks at It as If
It were an artichoke, n’est-ce pas?”
FREEZE OUT INSECT PESTS
Method is More Economical Than Gat
■ Says an Expert on the
8ubject
The usual procedure, when flour
mills become Infested with the Mediter
ranean moth, the larvae of which get
Into the flour. Is to close the mill tight
ly and “gas” the insects. Last winter
a mill at Willlston, N. D., however, re
quested the local weather bureau office
to'notify the company whenever a tem
perature of 20 degrees or lower for at
least several hours could be antici
pated. As soon as weather sufficiently
cold wus forecast, the company put out
all fires and opened doors and win
dows. That night the temperature
reached 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and did
not go above 17 degrees Fahrenheit the
next day. According to' the report of
the company to the United States De
partment of Agriculture, through the
weather bureau, all moths and most of
the eggs were frozen, and the process
will not have to be repeated for at
least two years. Many dollars’ worth
of chemical Insecticides which would
have been necessary for “gassing”
were saved.
Once More Extended.
It is certain that the limits of Lake
Erie and Lake Michigan were once
more extended than now. It Is reason
ably probable, say students of the
subject, that some of the territory now
drained by the Wabash and Illinois
rivers was once covered by the waters
of Lake Michigan. The cisco of Lake
Tippecanoe, Lake Geneva, and the
lakes of the Oconomowoc chain Is
evidently a modified descendant of the
so-called lake herring. Its origin most
likely dates from the time when these
small deep lakes of Indiana and Wls-
cqnsln were connected with Lake Mich
igan. Several of the larger fishes,
properly characteristic of the Great
Lakes region, are occasionally taken
in the Ohio river.
Confirmed Bachelor Shad.
The shad in the Farmington river In
Connecticut are all bachelors. In the
opinion of the fish and game commis
sion- of that state. Effort has been
made for some time to obtain shad
eggs for experimental purposes, and
the constant report from one of the
best fishing grounds was that only buck
shad were obtainable. Then the super
intendent of fisheries decided to do
some fishing himself He had a force
of men spread nets and when they
were drawn in, all the shad were
bucks. Once more the net was spread
and drawn In, this time with but little
more success, one female, or roe shad,
being caught.
Papyrus Tree of Ancient Egypt
The tree from which the ancient
Egyptians obtained their papyrus
flourished In the lowlands along the
Nile river. It grew to a height of
about ten feet, and seems to have been
known only In Egypt The paper ob
tained from It was formed from a sort
of Inner bark, which consisted of thin
sheets growing around the wood.
Various colored liquids were used
for ink; these were usually blade, but
sometimes red or green. A species of
lamp-black, or ivory-black, similar to
that used in painting In modern times,
was employed to make the black ink
sometimes.
Eskimos Have Strongest Teeth.
Less than two Eskimos oat of 100
have any signs of tooth decay. Chew
ing coarse frozeh food keeps their
glands active and their teeth safe. One
of the domestic duties of the women
is the chewing of thick walrus hide to
make It pliable enough for the men to^
work it Into shoe soles.
Today the soft-cooked foods of the
civilized nations have allowed the
glands to slow down. As a consequence
98 people oat of 100 have decayed
Judging a Bank
One good way to judge a bank is to
look at the sort of customers it attracts.
The First National Bank of Reynolds is
mighty proud of its patrons, among firms
and corporations as well as among indi
viduals. They are the right sort, and
the business they bring lis is the right
sort.
And there’s a warm welcome here
for more of their kind.

To Repair Rubber Heele.
When rubber heels have become
worn off on the sides or at the backs,
they may be straightened by trimming
off the entire heel with a sharp knife.
Of course this reduces the thickness of
the rubber, but the appearance is
much better and the feeling more com
fortable than the worn, uneven sur
face.
Viewpoints Differ.
Youth. looking at the picture of a
palm grove, says: “What n beau"ful
grove.” Middle-age, looking at It, says:
“How hot it must be there.”
Cossacks Claim Rodeo Idea.
To prove their contention that the
wild west stunts of the rodeo were
offshoots of the Rnssinn Cossacks*
training, Prince Girey, Colonel Kereoff
rnd Captain Natiroff, visitors from
Russia, recently took part in a rodeo
program of horsemanship, doing In
their Cossack manner many of the dar
ing stunts exhibited by the cowboys.
