"Two years afro, I was

‘‘My mother thought I

“1 found great relief af

I was able to cat and I

I had been so nervous that

me. I was low-spirited and
blue. I gob thinner and

Quaint Nicknames
That schoolboys—and schoolgirls—
are so addicted to the bestowal of
inlck names Is in accordance with race
[development. Backward races be-
[stowed nicknames to the exclusion
of patronymics. When 1 lived in Ma
deira, says a correspondent to an Eng-
dish paper, I knew peasants who had
I forgotten wlmt their real names wore
—if they had ever known them! There
were among my acquaintance, Cab
bage Soup, Five Farthings, Airs.
Blackbird and Hot Water Jug, tie-
sides Miss Codfish and Sweet Potato.
The reasons why these names were
.given were unknown, yet somehow
theyStli undoubtedly fitted !
CATCH LIGHTNING '
TO BREAK ATOMS
May Present World With Mys
terious New Force.
Berlin.—Like Benjamin Franklin,
three young German scientists have
gone fishing in tho clouds to catch
lightning and tamo it.
They hope to release atomic energy
with the help of the terrifically high
electrical voltage which they drag
down from the thunderstorms in (he
skies with n huge wire net strung
between the peaks of Mount Gen-
croso In Switzerland.
So far, tlie only promising efforts
to demolish the atom have been made
by means of radium ou a small scale.
But the Gormans will attempt demo
lition of tlie atom in a wholesale man
ner, with the aid of 5,000,000 volts
of electricity coaxed from tlie clouds.
This audacious dream stands with
in a few months of realization, ac
cording to tlie belief of the youug
scientists, Doctors Lange, Brasch and
Urban, all under thirty and students
at tho University of Berlin.
If this bo true, tlie young wizards
may present tlie world with nn Im
measurably powerful and mysterious
force, or ray, which will revolution
ize things material.
These modern gods of thunder and
lightning have searched out tlie lo
cality In the Swiss Alps visited most
frequently by natural electrical dis
charges.
Last summer, with the help of all
tho discoveries at learned -scholars
since the time of “Poor Richard” and
hts kite, the Germans found that 2,-
000,CKX) \olts could bo controlled by
their method.
Their ‘‘lightning tamer” was a fair
ly simple device, merely an enormous
spread of wire mesh provided with
bristling points. It was suspended
on a cable between peaks with three
sets of Insulators and a complicated
apparatus for measuring tlie current.
From a tiny, lightning-proof hut,
tlie young wizards watched as tho
lightning struck tlie points of tlie net
lignin and again.
They plan to return to the lonely
hut on tlie rocky cliff to renew their
experiments ns soon as the snow*
melts. They are certain that they
will he able to control 5,000,000 voits
by improving their devices.
Sword cf De Soto’s
Expedition Is Found
Carters, Gn.—Traces of Oernando
De Soto’s expedition through north
Georgia were believed discovered near
here, when a hilt, guard and part of
a blade of nn iron sword were un
earthed In nn Indian mound by Dr.
Warren K. Moorehead, head of (lie
department of archeology of Phillips
academy, Andover, Mass.
The pare of rive sword was found
amid a score of skeletons and cere
monial relics which Doctor Moorehead
declared were of n pre-Columbian ago,
which he considered most significant.
Tho sword was found beside (lie
skeleton of a warrior and stuck
straight up In tlie ground, where it
probably had been placed after tlie
brave had been burled, Doctor Moore
head said. This relic of (lie white
man’s Invasion of north Georgia meas
ured about six inches nnd was made
from Iron, a strong indication that It
came from De Soto’s band, Doctor
Moorehead declared.
In addition to the sword, many
"war points," fine arrowheads used in
battle, were found at the right hand
of tlie warrior, who was buried alone.
At (he feet lay a spade of delicnle
green granite, perforated and highly
polished, which 1 he Andover scientist
said was a symbol of tlie tribe’s re
spect for Its religion, as It was too
frail for actual usage.
The skeleton was found In what ap
parently had been a hut made of posts
of cedar and pine thut were in an ex
cellent state of preservation consider
ing the centuries they had been buried.

Wrong Beliefs About
Exercise and Heart
Tlie old belief that the heart In
creased in size according to tlie In
creased amount of work it Is called
upon to perform Is a myth, Dr. Ma
nilas J. Seifert, Chicago, says in a
study of tbo ciTcet of exercise upon the
heart, prepared for (lie Gorgns Memo
rial institute at Kansas City.
if nn athlete's heart Increases In
size it Is not because of tlie exorcise
lie has performed, but because there
was something fundamentally wrong
with It to begin with Doctor Seifert,
declares.
“It is now found,” lie says, "that
the predisposition of the heart to en
largement is the result of infectious
diseases, such as scarlet fever, pneu
monia, rheumatism nnd too strenuous
exercise in youth, ns well ns to physic
traumas,
"Exorcise for pleasure causes no
enlargement of tlie heart, but on the
contrary produces a strengthening of
tlie whole body and, normally, even a
smaller heart”
Cubans Cling to Old
Instrument of Death
The one machine that the Spaniards
are credited with having imported into
Cuba 331 years ago Is still in use.
It is the "gurrote,” instrument of
dentil, which greatly resembles nn old
picture of an Inquisition machine of
torture. For many years tlie gnrrote
served tlie Spaniards, dealing death to
Cubnn rebels. Since the expulsion of
tho Old world rulers it tins been used
at the Havana penitentiary ns tbc of
ficial instrument of execution.
No place but In Cuba is tlie gnrrote
used officially In executions. A pris
oner operates the beheading device
and gets money and n time decrease
in compensation for ids services.
Tlie Havana gnrrote is said to have
taken 184 lives since it lias been in
Cubnn use. Before tlint it was used
in executing Spaniards accused of
high treason.—Kansas City Star.
Where Alligator Lies
in Wcat for its Prey
The rivers and estuaries of northern
Australia spread out over the country
in great mudflats Intersected by shal
low creeks, while everywhere us a
waterside growth one finds tlie eternal
, mangrove.
Along tlie hanks of those creeks and
across tlie nmd-flnts lie the blackfel-
tews’ pads or paths, worn and kept
bare by tho constant passing of feet;
and in some reedy bed or muddy pool
beside those paths the cunning “ulll-
; gal or” will He waiting for Its prey,
j it will remain thus, quite motion-
i' less, for days, but let some unwary
i creature happen along—a woman, a
dog, n kangaroo—and instantly it is on
tlie. alert. Willi exquisite judgment
' (lie foul brute will await tlie exact
second fur action; then a great
armored tail lashes up out of the mud,
I with one tremendous sweep, knocking
■ tlie hapless victim Into the water.
Quicker than a terrier worrying a
rat the terrible Jaws follow up (lie
blow, nnd before die luckless prey
i quite realizes wlmt lias happened tlie
! great teeth . crush through flesh and
i bone and nil is over.
Many white men have boon caught
that wny, and no experienced bush-
nmn will walk alongside or camp close
to a week or wnterhole, no matter
how enticing the place may seem. At
night the hungry brutes are apt to
\leavc tlie water, and it would be a
terrible awakening to feel tlie grip of.
those savage jaws ns they closed on
one's body and dragged one off to a
hideous death.—Exchange.

There was a certain amount of dis

Meeting a friend of her father one

What is a Peddler?
The word peddler is derived from
an old English word, “ped," ns in
Spencer’s "Shepheard’s Calendar." "A
Imsk is a wicker pod wherein they use
to carry fish.” It has no connection
with tbe Latin pedis, n foot, as often
reported. A peddler is, therefore, one
with a ped, basket, or pack, and It 1ms
been held In law, one who 1ms tlie
identical article lie sells in Ids "ped.”
It is, simply speaking, incorrect, there
fore, to coll nn itinerant merchant,
who simply takes orders for goods
bought from seeing samples he car
ries, a peddler.

Drab Colorings Not

The old Roman conquerors of
Britain had a keen eye for colors, ac
cording to anulysis of excavations of
tlie Latin settlement nt Colchester,
Eng., made by tlie Essex Archeolog
leal society.
No unornamented walls for tlie Ro
mans, but brilliant colors of green,
rod, yellow nnd blue. Their wall plas
ter was colored and highly tinted.
Even tlie floors were colored, for one
room 1ms been found with a red
paved iloor. Mosaic floors have been
discovered which are done in black,
red, yellow and white “tesserae,” or
small cubes of clay and stone. The
smallness of tlie tesserae nnd tiie fine
workmanship of tiie pavement, ac
cording to experts, indicate that tho
work wns done in the early period of
tlie Roman occupation of England.
A Roman rubbish pit was one of tiie

India’s Sacred River
The Ganges Is the sac-red river ot
tiie Hindus. On its hanks are many
temples and holy places such as
Benares, Allahabad, Ilurdwar and
Gangotri. According to tlie legend
tlie Princess Gandn, a Hindu goddess
of long ago, turned herself Into tills
great river, that she might enrich
find purify tlie country. Devout
Hindus bathe themselves in Its sacred
waters and pray to die beside it. It
is their desire Hint their bodies may
lie burned upon its banks and their
ashes scattered over its waters and
allowed to float on down to the sou.
The length of tiie main stream of the
Ganges is 3,537 miles, and its every
beml is sacred. Pilgrims walk from
its source and back again, faking six
months or more for tlie pilgrimage.
Ancient Baths
The Roman bath wns heated in the
same way a3 the Persian bath, and
exactly (lie same system is still used
in every town and village in Persia
today. There Is a large copper or
Iron plate in die bottom of the ma
sonry hot water tank; the bent of the
furnace is led beneath this, and then
under tiie floor of tiie hot room,
which is supported on low brick pil
lars, just as in tlie case of tlie Ro
man baths. There are flues in three
of the walls, which not only are
chimneys but also heat tlie room still
further. By a system of dumpers the
heat can bo both regulated and di
verted from one part of tlie room to
another.
