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. Take Clevk’a Pants New York.—Solomon Weisninn, a clerk In the Kaufman hat store, was held up recently in the store nt the point of a revolver by two men who took $01 from the cash register and a watch valued at $50.

"oh, maybe it will change my luck if 1 stay out a few hands,” said the gin.st, and added: "ill just go around and cut the leaves of some of your books here.”—The New Yorker. 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. Modern Rendering cf “Hickory, Dichory, Bosh” "Keeping time, time, time, in a On Molding Character Now, it is better (linn nothing for n bad man to have one virtuous Im pulse; it is better (linn nothing for a man in a rocky field to find one place where there is soil and where a hand ful of corn will grow and wave like tlie trees of Lebanon; it is n glorious thing fur a man to know that there is something In tlie world besides himself, nnd that tie Is not omnipo tent, omniscient, or omnipresent; it is a good thing for a man once in his life to feel little, and to know himself as lie is; but how much better il would be if lie could fix tlie vision niKt turn it into character!—Henry Ward Beecher. ! rhimic sort of rhyme.’’ . . .

Too Rough She didn't understand football. "Why did they knock that man down ns soon as he touched tlie ball?” she asked. "Because lie was trying to get n goal,” her brother explained. “But isn’t the object of the game to get goals?” “Yes; but ho was—you see, lie’s on tlie oilier side. Be was going ibe wrong way—that Is, toward the wrong goal." "Well, I don't see why they should knock him down to tell him that. Everybody makes mistakes.”—Mon treat Star, Rejecting a Compliment A well-known member of the stock exchange, who is now giving up tlie close of n strenuous life to philan thropic efforts, was in his hey-day u tremendous gambler in stocks, and, in cidentally, lie and Ids partner were rather expert In tlie gentle art of mak ing enemies. One of these accosted him with tlie pleasant remark: "Look here, you are tlie biggest thief on (lie stock exchange.” "All," was tlie an swer, "it Is evident you do not know my partner.”—London Tit-Bits. Jail Bird It was one of those little parties at which an out-of-town girl wns a guest of honor. In the courso of tlie eve ning site wns Introduced to a young man from tlie prep school.

New Breed Dorothy had always wanted n dog. and at last a kind and sympathetic undo gave her one. There was a certain amount of dis cussion among the family with regard to (he animal's breed. The uncle de clared the dog was nn nirodale. Meeting a friend of her father one evening while taking her pet for a walk, Dorothy laid an anxious mo ment. "Whatever Is it?” ttio oilier had asked. “A pup, Dorothy? What kind, my dear?” The little girl tried hard to remem ber wlmt her uncle lmd said. "He’s a ne’er-do-well," she replied, after a long pause. Depended on the Gas It was Ids first week in the city, and tlie tilings that interested him most were tlie motorcycles that whizzed by r , so lie bought a second hand one and started out. Up one street and down another lie went, go ing faster and faster, and waving io the people on the streets. They won dered, but got out of tlie way. Police men rushed out and tried to stop him, but be kept on. In nn hour or so he came to u halt, and an ollicer stepped up To him. "Why didn’t you stop when 1 ordered you to?” "Stop I” exclaimed tlie man. "I wanted to, hut didn’t know how! I laid to go till tlie gas gave out!" Many Centenarians Moscow.—Of Soviet Russia’s popu lation of 140,904,300 there are 29,498 persons listed as one hundred years old or more. The Union 1ms 0,000,009 more women than men. 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.

The writing of "iclor lingo, one of Ids publishers said once, "resembled a battlefield on a piece of paper.” The typesetters who succeeded in decipher ing Ilnlznc were often desperate, and one is said to have gone crazy nftei hours of vain effort. Robert Louis Stevenson was even worse. No printer ever could make out what lie had written. Stevenson had to assist In copying wlmt tie bad put down in the first place. Sydney Smith could not decipher Ids own handwriting after twenty-four hours. On tlie other hand certain English writers like Arnold Bennett, Thomas Hardy nnd B. G. \YyJlo, write legibly nnd even elegantly. But It should not be forgotten either tluit none of these three started out on a writing career in youth. Arnold Bennett was des tined for tiie bar and served Ids time in a lawyer’s office. Thomas Hardy began no an architect, nnd II. G.

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 finds of the excavation. Among tiie debris were found hundreds of whole or nearly whole pottery vessels.

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.
