ABEE <fc JOHNSON. i Fish Long Used as Feed From the misty past wo can sec: an example of how much fish was relied on for food for the toilers of time. Ia Egypt, before 1-108 B. the con-iimp- ,’tion of tisli ns a r-. gnlar article «.f food iwas confined to the workers on the .land and the foreign captives who had ’been made the imhi.-: rial slave? of the Grooves in Boulders Formed by Glaciers? Throughout the northern United States, from the Atlantic ocean to the far northern states, and as far south ns Kentucky, huge boulders are found scattered at haphazard. The rocks ami ledges aro smoothed and marked with scratches varying from faint lines to broad grooves two feet deep, dome of these boulders, weighing many tons, arc so balanced on a ledge ihat n slight touch will rock them. The Indians used them as “alarm bolls,” The grooves, or scratches, on these rooks arc, ns a rule, parallel and ox- toad north and south. South of the above-mentioned area neither boulders nor scratched rocks can he found. How crime the boulders in their pn- sHlon. What scratched the rocks? Ono authority, familiar with the glaciers of the Alps, probably gave the true answer. Me showed that a similar state of things Is produced to day by the glaciers of Switzerland. Those streams of ice creep slowly down from the lofty summits of the Alps through the valleys to the plains. They bear on their surface huge rocks fallen from surrounding cliffs. The stones frozen In the bottom of the glaciers, pressed down by the enor mous weight of ice above them, scratch and groove the rocks beneath, ns the tool of a carpenter gouges out a piece of wood. What was the condition of America when similar effects were produced? Instead of local glaciers scattered in (he valleys, the whole surface now covered with boulders must have been hidden by an immense sheet of ice. Judging from the marks on the rocks, the sheet moved from the north to ward the south, carrying with it masses of rocks. i OYSTERS nsi dit:i 6 it.; f SUPER WHEAT GROWN NOV/ WITHOUT SOIL .•nation.

Cultivate a Smile The serious things of life are some times inclined to give us a set, for bidding expression. It may he possible to have too much (lctormlnaliqp, too j much power of concentration. And j (hen there are people who cling to the memories of unhappy experiences, j They live over and over again the tragedies of tlielr lives. Their thoughts I are stamped on their features; every body cun road their troubles. Such i a countenance is repelling and dis- ■ tasteful. Therefore, whatever you do, try to cultivate the smiling habit. No pue can estimate, the value of a smile. There are times when it is worth as much as life llsMf. It 1ms even saved life in serious emergen cies.—Dream World Magazine, Wild Animals Take Toll In spite of constant warfare waged against the predatory animals by fed eral and slate officials, hunters and trappers, predatory animals w. . t the farmers and stock raisers of the United States more than $10,000.000 every year.

Critmnah Unable to Disguise Their Ears What cars are really for is at last being relized, thanks to the French Police. Criminals may disguise themselves witli false eyebrows, gold tooth, derby hats and distorted facial expressions. They may even desperately burn away those famous clews to identify, their fingerprints. But the astute French detective tiptoes around for a side- I wise look, and there are the same j old ears, boldly displaying character- j istic curves, angles, sizes and propor tions. | An individual's ears, says the Wash- ; ington Star, may not lie the only pair i of that particular model in existence, j But their value as a clew In estab- j Bslilng identity is being stressed by detectives, because of the complexity of car formations, (lie readiness with which they can be observed and photographed -ami studied, and the difficulty of the individual concealing or disguising them. Washington.—An aid to the lumber man, to the horticulturist, to the cas ual visitor whose curiosity Is aroused by the strnngo plimts of tropical Americn and to the botanist has Just been published by the Smithsonian Institution in tlie shape of a descrip tive account of the flowering plants of the Panama Canal Zone. It is the work of Paul C. Standley of the na tional herbarium and Is the result of a plan made seven years ago in which the Smithsonian, tlie Department of Agriculture and t he Canal Zone au thorities joined forces. Its value to the layman makes this publication a rare typo of scientific paper. Since many of the. plants of tho Canal Zone are common to all Central America and the West Indies, the usefulness of Mr. Standiey’s work i as a handbook is correspondingly in creased. Besides a brief description of each plant, the author discusses its history, gives oil the vernacular names obtainable so that the plant: can ho readily identified locally, and lists Its uses. Bark Used for Canoen. The uses are varied and interesting. Of the bark of the coubnrll (senna 1 family) the author says that “re moved in a single large pi; eo it is sometimes utilized by the Indians for mailing canoes, and it is reported that : canoes with a capacity of twenty- ! five men are sometimes fashioned • thus. A pale yellow or reddish gum, known in trad? as South American copal, j0Ktides from the trunk:. This : gum often becomes burled in the soil j about the roots, to be dug up by col- j lectors sometimes long after the tree 1 Is decayed. It Is employed in the 1 manufacture of varnish, for medicinal i purposes and for incense in churches.” J From the pulp of the anatto seeds, j Writes Mr. Standley, is obtained an : orange dye, much exported to tills | country for coloring butter and cheese j as well as oils afTfl varnk h. The bark ! of the (roe contains a rough fiber j from which twine is made, and a gum j similar to gum arabic is obtained from tlie brandies, 1 The.early Spanish explorers mistook j the fruit of the mnnehineel for crab apples, according to Mr. Standley, , and ate it, in some cases with fatal | results. “They Immediately gave It a fearful reputation, affirming that a j person who rested beneath the tree I would become blind or even die. ! There is no doubt (hat the milky nap ! ts highly irritant, causing severe In- i fhimmation. ... It is said that the sup was employed by the Cnribs ! for poisoning their arrows.” Oysters Do Grow on Trees. Mr. Standley mentions an Interest ing fact about the mangroves, which grow in the coastal swamps with their roots under water. “Oysters are often attached to the roots, hence a com mon and literally true statement (hut in the tropics oysters grow upon trees.” In ills introduction Mr. Standley gives a short history of the I T hum., of I'anainn, mentioning that i; wan the site of the first European s >ttie- men t on the American continent.

Sen Funnel wo.—Growth of n super- wheat that reached maturity in 38 v. 1 a with i :;h«r soil nor sunlight was an noun ml hero by the University of 'a!;ferula. Wheat, under field con ditions, often requires five months to mature. Tlie announcement follows comple tion of lengthy research In a Juboni- ini-y on iho university campus by Prof. A. K. Davis of I ho division of agriculture chemistry and Prof, D. It. Itoagiand of the division of plant nutrition. Tlie experiment is recognized by the ■? scientists’ ns of I lie widest pos sible import: Tlie wheat was grown, It was re vealed, in a greenhouse laboratory, where artificial light was furnished by means of 12 argon-filled lamps of VM) oandlepower each and where Jars of water containing the chemical ele ments necessary for plant growth re- pin; ed tho soil which ordinarily con tains thorn. The quality of tlie wheat at ma turity, t ho professors declare, was much higher than that raised under field conditions and could lie classi fied ns being of a upcznnturr." The fact that the wheat was grown to maturity in 18 weeks, a previously unheard-of achievement, demons!rates, according to the Investigators, that Hie length of tlie light period is in1- porlant to growing plants. The lights applied to the wheat -Plants were turned on for 1(1 hours a day, and (hi: kept them growing vapidly. With the doubling of the light exposure tlie plant development vans multiplied by four, the professors revealed, hud when (lie light was ap plied for a full 21 hour day tlie growth was “astounding.” Previous experimenters in these pioneer field were troubled by tire in frared, or heat, rays from thy lamps and used n water :.croon to solve the prwbh m. But this was an unsuccess ful eolation, and Professor Davis found the correct one. Me circulated air through the glass chamber by means of an electric fan. It was established Ihot Hie sun rays which contribute to plant growth were present In the eleelric light rays, even to the longer ultra-violet rays. Trace Art of Weaving to Prehistoric Times Spinning was Hie Invention of Minerva, tho goddess of wisdom, In the loro of the ancients, npd Arens, king of Arcadia, developed Hie art about 1500 1!. ('. Tlie wife of Tnrquin was credited with being an expert spinner, and a garment that she wove was worn by Fervlus Tullius and afterward pro- eet'vcd in the Roman Temple of For tune.’ According to Pliny, tlie honor of in venting weaving belongs to the Egyp tians, hut ils origin Is prehistoric, re lates Dr. Frank II. Vizetolly, manag ing editor of tlie New Standard dic tionary. There are many Biblical ref erences that Indicate Hint tlie Isra elites were extant at this intertwining of threads to form cloth, but so also wore the Persians and Babylonians, as well ns other ancient nations, all of which earned fame through tlielr prod ucts. Even jlio ancient Britons seem always to have Imd some knowledge of clothinnking, probably derived from the Gauls, who once peopled England. According to tin? Homan historians, Caesar’s legions, when they landed in Kent, found the natives well advanced in the arts. The Inhabitants of south ern Britain were familiar with tlie dressing, spinning and weaving of flax and wool before the arrival of tlie Roman?, hut tlielr neighbors, Hie Gauls, Imd practiced them even longer. —Detroit News. "I am certainly a strong believer In Black-Draught, as I have used it off and on now for about twenty- five years,” says Mr. G. W.

Fortune From a “String” From a lump of tallow and a piece of string a fortune was built in Cin cinnati, which outlasted two genera tions. It enabled Mrs. Mary Muhlen berg Emery to leave $10,000,000 to charity when she died.

During a political canvass in ancient Home Iti was customary for persons seeking the' higher elective offices to appear in tho' Forum, Campus Martlus and other pub lic places dressed in white togas, tha white of the natural wool being bright ened with chalk. The Latin word for white is “candldus,” and an office seek er so clud was called “candidntus,” whence our word “candidate." The White toga was Intended to signify the candidate’s purity of purpose in solicit ing the suffrage of the people. Family Suicide There is much less danger for the future of the race in overpopulation than In our present system of birth control for the lit and unlimited pro creation tor the unlit. There Is prac tically no danger of race suicide, hut there is great danger of family sui cide.
