New Style Timepiece Not Popular With All “Wo will change your Watch into a twenty-four-hour watch in a few minutes,” is the wording of a. pos ter outside a watchmaker’s store in the Friedriehgtrasse station, writes a Berlin correspondent of the Chris tian Science Monitor. The addition of an inner circle on the dial, show ing the figures from thirteen to twenty-four for the hours from 1 {>. m. until midnight, is necessary, lie avers, since tho twenty-four-hour clock has now been introduced by the railways, post and telegraph, street car and underground com panies. Now, also, the German army and navy have adopted this clock, which, it is believed, will lie of advantage, since it will prevent the recurrence of errors in the miming of time in military orders. It cannot be said, however, that the public is very en thusiastic about the new clock. It cannot accustom itself to saying 13 o’clock instead* of 1 o’clock, or 23 o’clock instead of 11 o’clock in tho night. Mads Hsolders Realize They Were a Minority Wendell Phillips, the abolitionist ort.tev, once had a disagreeable ex perience while trying to lecture in Boston. The majority of his audi ence was hostile. There was yelling and singing and this completely drowned his voice. The newspaper reporters wero seated in a row‘just under the platform in the place where the orchestra plays in an or dinary theater. Phillips made no further attempt to address the noisv crowd, but bent over and seemed io be speaking in a low tone to the re porters. By and by tho curiosity of the audience was excited; it ceased to clamor and tried to hear what Phillips was saying to the reporters. Phillips looked up and said quietly: “Go on, gentlemen, go cn. I do not need your ears. Through these pencils I speak to thirty millions of people.” After that, tho persons in the audience seemed to feel that they were somewhat outnumbered by the thirty millions and kept quiet.— Kansas City Star. Dream Failed to Sava When the father of Abbas Kan- did, condemned to death for tho murder of two, called on his son in the Cairo prison, the boy asked that he appeal to the court of Cassatu against the sentence. lie said that ho was sure of acquittal because the night before in a dream he rode a white horse and carried a black um brella which was broken to pieces. As the lad already was dressed in the red costume of those condemned to death, it was too late for. the father to act. Something Like Long Life When Napoleon retreated from Moscow in 1812, was the last time Ivan Shapkov, of Lahti, Russia, got drunk, he told census takers recent ly when lie gave them proof that he had been born in 1782. As a young soldier of thirty years of age, he helped repel Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. He is now one hundred forty-five years old and enjoying life and good health with his sixth wife, who is eighty-eight ye:m old. Women Soccer Fans Women are becoming enthusiastic over soccer in England, and at ail league games there is a large repre sentation of the fair sox. They know tho rules and plays as well as men. No matter how blustery tho weath er the feminine fans of the sport are present.

Respond to Hurry Call W. W. Daughty of Farmingdale, Maine, while testifying at Augusta in his own behalf in a $10,000 suit, received a hurry call to come to his farm, where a big grass fire was threatening his extensive holdings. Court was adjourned to accommo- date him. Foe of Influenza A Greek doctor named Tsinou- kns claims to have invented an elec- 1 trie machine by which the microbes of influenza are destroyed in 15 minutes. Blindi i£S3 Strikes Chamois Many chamois of the Alps, espe cially in tho canton of Valais, were found to have been stricken with blindness, says tho Pathfinder Mag azine. Some were found at the bottom of precipices into which they had fallen. Others were found going slowly and stumblingly ever tho snow. Their eyes were covered, by a filmy skin, but doctors could not account for the disease. Record Journey Made v by American Indians Eight Hopi Indians and two Navajos recently returned to their reservation at Kaibeto, Ariz., aft er an eleven-month journey to Aus tralia nnd New Zealand, where they aided in the presentation of “The Vanishing American,” ac cording to the Los Angeles Times. The Indians were in charge of Hugh D. Smith, parson at tho res ervation, and wero led by Nasjah, the Owl. They were paid high hon ors in New Zealand by the- native Maoris and wore guests at the sa cred meeting place of that race, tho first time that any outside people have been permitted to visit it. Tho Indians christened Australia Gwen Bikeyah, or Gwen’s Land, Nasjah, according to report, hav ing been smitten by a young woman of that name in Sydney. The expedition was a strange one in many respects. It was tho first time in history that Ilopis and Navajos had done anything together peacefully. Their journey took them farther than any American Indians had ever gone, 7,000 miles. After their return to tho United States the Indians spent but ono day in Hollywood before going to Arizona. Forest Management Pays Forests produce timber much more rapidly under forest manage ment than in the wild, virgin state. A good stand of Douglas fir in west ern Oregon or Washington under management will produce merchant able saw timber in approximately GO years. Kites Decoy Rabbits Rabbit hunters in South Dakota, near Pierre, took an idea from “Bed Time Tales” that i3 working out fine, says Capper’s Weekly. Rab bits, mistaking the kites for birds.of prey, run for cover and become an easy mark for the gunners. Aid for Aviators A system has been perfected in France whereby beacons may bo lighted by radio. The purpose of the system is to enable airmen dur ing the night to use wireless as a means of lighting distant beacons placed in the country and capable of indicating not only tho position of the airmen, but if necessary il luminating the ground for landing, L2c.de Good Investment Back in 1830 George W. Snow bought two blocks of ground on ChL cago’s townsite for $500, says Cap<> per’a Weekly, but only aftor con* siderable hesitation. ne thought the price was too high. The other day heirs of the Snow estate sold a small slice of this $500 purchase for $1,100,000. Really Good Definition Probably the most complete defi nition of diplomacy was given by a little boy in an English class: “It’s the thing that gets you in trouble,” lie said, “when a boy bigger than you has told something that isn’t so and you tell him so without using it..”—The Outlook. Two-Year-Old Linguist A girl aged two, named Winifred ; Tierney, of Lille, France, is claimed to bo the youngest child to speak four languages. She can answer questions in French; English, Ger- j man, and modern Greek Hybrid Fowl A new type of fowl is being raised in Alberta, Canada, to sup plant tho high-priced holiday tur key. A cross between a turkey and chicken, tho “turken” resembles the tuikey in head and body, but in fizo, comb and wattles it is more •ike the chicken. Snakes Keep Manila Homes Free of Rats Pythons are wont to inhabit Philippine buildings and, playing the role of cats, are often welcome to lodgings above the ceiling. One grows accustomed to a python’s blind lunges after the rodents. The ceiling heaves nnd bellows, the rat squeaks and the snake dines, then sleeps. But Manila, has developed objections to this provincial custom. JTwo harmless 20-foot pythons with almost insatiable appetites have been killed this spring in Manila. Of course, the city has other snakes, like tho hostile cobras, that home in the opera house. They make the audiences restless sometimes when the whining of a violin or tho sob of a cello charms them out of their lairs. On such occasions musicians may think Manila unappreciative of their genius, when, in fact, Manila is just a little distracted and fidgety about the snakes, and would, under other circumstances, respond to tho music with rounds of applause. Football Centuries Ago Football was played in Japan more than 900 years ago, Arthur IWnley of the British museum has discovered. “There is a mention of football by the *woman Murasaski in her novel of 923 years ago,” ho said. “They undoubtedly kicked a ball about, but I should say that tho game was materially different from football ns we play it today.” Heavy Load for Team A load of eleven cords of spruce tnd fir that was forty feet long fend two and one-half feet high, Was hauled by a span of horses owned by Harry Derry, of Ran dolph, Maine. Ice tracks were i made in tho road so that the load .was hauled easily. In going down 'steep inclines, hay was thrown on the track to check the load.

Electric Iron Tragedies Invited to suggest “new uses for an electric iron,” 500 housewives have written to the editor of the Woman’s Home Companion. The matter of frying an egg on the bot- , tom of an iron is a favorite sugges tion. One devoted reader burned the baby’s coat propping up the iron. Another lady tells of trying j to warm a bed with an electric iron, with this result: “Warmest bed you ever saw—-or smelled; next time I shall use asbestos sheets.” Giant Banjo After spending tho evenings of three months working on tho in strument, Fred Lemire, a Rochester ( N. H.) musician, has made a banjo five feet four inches tall and in tended to take the place of a baas viol in an orchestra. The head was made by cutting down a bass drum. How Detroit Expands During the last ten years tho city of Detroit has added 51 square miles of territory to its limits.

The lot is only 3 feet 8 inches wide and 22 feet deep, but tho owner has built a two-story house on it.
