‘ORIGIN OF KHAKI EXPLAINED
Dun-Colored Cloth So Widely Used for
Uniforms Was Discovered
! by Accident.
{ The dun-colored khaki so widely
used for uniforms was discovered by
an accident. For many years the Brit
ish troops in India wore a cotton cloth
of a greenish-brown, but it always
faded when washed with soap.
While talking over this defect with
some British officers, a business man
from England said that a fortune
awaited the manufacturer of a cotton
drill that would not fade. One of
the officers, a young man, took the
hint. |
When he got home he employed a
skillful dyer, and the two began a sys- |
tematic search f«:r an olive dye that,
when used on cotton cloth, would not |
yiéld to soap or soda. They spent
years in experiments, but without suc
cuss, and had almost begun to give upj
hopt‘. ‘
One day, however, they found among
numerous scraps of dyed cloths one
that retained its color under the most‘
severe tests, The puzzling part of Iti
was that this scrap had been taken
from a piece of cloth which had gone
through the same processes, but which
had failed when tested. lor a long
time the experimenters tried to solve
this riddle. The one bit of cloth men
tioned was the only piece that kept its
color against all attacks,
Finally, by the merest chaadce, they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped had re
mained for scme time in 8 metal dish
of a peculiar kind, This metal, in com
bination with the chemicals of the dye,
had furnished the very thing needed.
They made the experiment with other
pleces; the dye held, and their for
tunes were made.
WHY NOT IMITATE ANIMALS?
Universal Instinct Teaches Them to
Go Through Certain Exercises
on First Waking.
All the higher animals go through
certain exercises on first nwuklug.‘
There seems a universal instinet which |
teaches that certain stretches, expnn-l
sions and breathing are necessary nti
this time. The movements of animals
on awaking are yawning, deep dreath
ing, expansion and stretching. But
men rarely take such exercises, As a
matter of fact, man possibly takes
more time, whines more, and does less
than any other animal between the
moment of awaking and standing
erect. !
Although the stretch has been cnre-1
fully explained by sclence, few know |
the real meaning. The stretch ex-

The yawn is similar to the stretch.
The yawn is a stretch of the lungs,
while the stretch is a yawn of the
muscles, and both express a hunger
for oxygen. The half hour between

Guarding the Bank of France.
There are plenty of ingenious burg
lars in the world, but he would have to
be a very ingenious burglar indee: who
should find a way to rob the Bank of
France, The measures taken for guard
ing the money are of such a nature
that burglary wou!d seem to be impos
sible.
Every day when the money Is put in
to the vaults in the cellar, and before
the officers leave, masons are in attend
ance whose duty it is to wall up the
doors with hydraulic mortar. Water
is then turned on, and kept running
until the cellar is flooded.
A burglar would thus have to work
in a diving suit, and break down a ce
ment wall Before he could even begin
to break into the vaults. When the of
ficers arrive the next morning, the wa
ter is drawn off, the masonry torn
down, and the vaults opened,
Hard Winters of Long Ago.
Why do most people believe that the
winters were more severe and were at
tended by heavier snowfalls in their
childhood days than they are now?
The myth of the *“old-fashioned win

proof of “counting the hits and not
the misses.”” Heayvy snow and Intense
cold produce a more lasting fmpres
slon upon the mind than open, mild
weather, We remember the excep
tional weather of the past, and forget
the normal weather. In some cases a
change of residence accounts for this
belief, Some parts of the country
have a much heavier snowfall than
others. In any given locality the
weather conditions are usually uni

WHAT ELECTRICITY HAS DONE
Commonplace Happenings of the Day
More Marvelous Than Tales of
“Arabian Nights.”
Aladdin rubbed his lamp, but the
modern man touches a button. Thanks
to electricity, the commonplace hap
penings of every day are more mar
velous than anything the hero of the
“Arabian Nights” ¢ver did.
Electricity ecarries our messages,
turns the wheels of industry, and as
well, turns night into day. It has rev
olutionized farming and emancipated
woman from household slavery.
It has been the keystone of modern
medical experimentation and research.
With its ald the pain and suffering of
mankind have been relieved.
In the pursuits of peace it is man’s
ally, but when the evil genius of war
appears it becomes brother to Mars,
Without it no airplane flies and no
automobile runs, On land it is su
preme, and on the high seas its mys
terious power lends eyes and ears to
the mariner in the blackest night. It
makes the world only a neighborhood.
Stop the flow of this mysterious
fluid and you plunge cities into dark
ness, check transportation, but an em
bargo on commerce and set everything
back a century into the days of the
stagecoach and the packet boat,
Light, heat and power are a trinity
that constitute the monarch of force.
Each by itself is a wonderful gift of
God to man, but electricity, combining
the three, is the servant of humanity
in a thousand ways. Research,
though extensive, is still in its in
fancy. ¥
Our greatest scientists, skilled in the
mysteries of this awe-inspiring phe
nomenon, predict that coming genera
tions will witness electrical marvels
that have not yet entered the dreams
of mankind." 3
Terrible in its unfettered power, elec
tricity, when subjected to the will of
‘man, becomes a miracte-worker for all
humanity.—Leslie’s.
HOW TO BE SURE OF DEATH
Maryland Board of Medical Examin

to Question.
What are the means used to prove
that death has positively occurred?
was a question put to postulants by
the state board of medical examiners
of Maryland at the June examinations,
The correct answer is given as: “The
complete and permanent cessation of
circulation and respiration, rigor mor

death, begins at a me varying, from
about fifteen minutes to about six
hours. It begins in the face and prog
resses downward, and the muscles re
lax in about the same order after 24
hours.
In a recent article in America, Dr.
Austin O'Malley pointed out that it
was often impossible to tell at what
moment death occurred, and that
physicians were so often in doubt
about this that it is a rule for priests
to administer the last sacraments
(conditionally, of course) even several
hours after apparent death, there be
ing many cases on record in which a
person believed to be dead has re
vived.
Value of Fruit.
The value of fruit juice is well
known and it plays its part in the di
etary of nine bables out of ten, or even
a greater proportion; but fruit itself
is not so easy to pronounce upon. It
is perhaps easier to say what to avold,
and this includes most decidedly any
thing stringy or containing pits. Or
anges are quite good, provided the
skin of each division is removed; so
are baked apples and stewed prunes,
the latter passed through a sieve so
that the skins are removed in the case
of children who are liable to digestive
disturbance.
Bananas are a very difficult point.
They have been enormously given to
children, even mere bables, of recent
years, and with a carelessness which
is amazing. For everyone shouid re
alize that the fibrous strings surround-
Ing them must be a source of danger,
It Is also a question whether they pos
sess the nutritive qualities which en
thuslasts have claimed for them, They
are, however, quite good for children
after they are eighteen months old or
80.

and 82 inches high, and contains six
figures besides the dog Polly, which
sits with its mistress at the left of the

CACTUS AS HEART STIMULANT
Plant Is Discovered to Contain Me.
dicinal and Many Other Use
ful Properties.
The ocecaslonal discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped
detection, serves to emphasize the lim
itations of the sum total of human
knowledge as compuared to the still un
solved mysteries of the universe.
It is a recent discovery, for exam
ple, that the cactus plant contains an
almost invaluable heart stimulant:
Formerly the entire cactus family
were regarded as practically useless
for man or beast so far as could be de
termined. Then it was discovered that
this plant made excellent fodder for
domestic animals when shorn of its
spines; and chemists found in the
leaves a substance which appeared to
be a powerful heart stimulant for hu
man beings. Curiously enough this
substance does not affect the lower an
imals as it does human beings; and
this fact led many investigators to
question its potency. Most medicinal
substances affect the lower animals, or
at least some of them, in much the
same manner as they affect human be
ings. Cactus is an exception, how
‘ever; and although it contains a heart
stimulant of such powerful action that
it must be administered with caution,
it produces no perceptible effects on
the animals that are commonly used
for the testing experiments.
Japs Growing Rich.
There are 2,201 people in Japan who
are worth more than $250,000, accord
ing to an informal census taken re
cently. As indicating the fact that the
number of wealthy people is constantly
increasing in Japan it is to be noted
that those having more than $250,000,
or half a million yen, has Increased by
1,076 since the last investigation made
in 1911, The ratio of increase is 115
per cent.
The aggregate wealth of the 2,201
rich is estimated at 3,470,000,000 yen
or $1,783,000,000. Those with over 10,-
000,000 yet or $5,000,000 number 48;
those with over 5,000,000 yen, or $2,-
500,00, 78, and those with over 1,000,
000 yen, or $500,000, aggregate 1,433.
Classified by profession, business men
head the list, totaling 1,433, Then come
land owners, directors of banks and
other companies, factory and mine
owners and peers. Twenty-seven per
cent of the rich live in Tokyo and 17
per cent in Osaka.
