“TACTILISM” THE LATEST ART SHORTEST, BUT MOST NOTED
Pictures Can Be “Seen” by Touch, la February Is Supreme Akcve All Oth.
Declaration Made by Inventor ers as the Natal Month of the
j of New Fad. { World’'s Famous.
Among the thinge that “have their
day and cease to be,” artistic extrav
agancos hold a prominent place, The
wild vagaries of impressionists, cu
bists and futurists one by one eclipse
‘what has gone heforoe.
“Tactilism” is the name of a new
“art” invented by Signor Marinetti, the
Italian futurist, who, recently, to a
large audience of painters, art erities
and society people in Paris, explained’
its principles. It is a method of con }
veying impressions through the sense.
of touch, “which has hitherto been
neglected by the arts,” |
Marinetti told how he had tried to
establish a series of conventions,
which could be easily learned, by
which different touches would bring
forth definite ideas. or instance |
something rough, spiky and hot to the
touch would give the idea of the.
Sahara. The seas would be conjured
up by something smooth and cold, like
Sllver paper, and Paris by a mixture
of silk and velvet. It is an evidence

for some weeks, but hag already re

fashionable receptions and evening
parties that he confesses that he hard:

DESIGNED TO UPHOLD WEIGHT
Elephant's Foot Is Enormous, Even
When Compared With the Size
of the Beast,
That twice around an elephant’s
feot equals its height seems almost in
credible, yet such is the fact, and a
little reflection will show you that it
is not so wonderful as it appears
to be. Things are large or small,
comparatively, and if we could see
the foot of an elephant by itself, it‘
would present a far different appear

of flesh it supports. The vh-ph:mla‘

a quarter of an inch or so more, l)ull
never less than the exact height. l
. Use of Peat as Fuel. ‘
Few have realized that peat might
replace coal and break to a large ux~|
tent the dependence of some of mc}
northern states upon distant coal
mines, |
Kor several months a Minneapolis
company has been engaged in the prop'
aration of peat for fuel, said to be lhel
only enterprise of its kind in the coun
try. A machine has been perfected that |
digs, macerates and spreads out to dry
700 tons of wet peat in a day, or a
quantity suflicient to produce 100 tons
of dry fuel. That's how much peat
contracts in the drying process. One
man operates the machine.
During the summer the machine wag
operated on a bog near Minneapolis,
and peat, processed at the University
of Minnesota, was burned with satis.
factory results in a Minneapolis omca'
building.
A crusher plant, with a capacity of
600 tons of peat a day, has been built
iR Minneapolis during the winter tg
produce powdered peat, and in the
spring ten peat digging machines arg
to be started on the Minnesota bogs.
Delivering the Goods.
Edouard Belin, the inventor of
photography by wire, said at a din.
ner in New York:
“Of course, the transmission of,
photographs by wire was thought out
before my time. But my predecéssors,
though their theory was all right,
could not put it into practice. So
nothing much came of their work, for
an inventor's backers insist on the
prompt delivery of the goods.
“An inventor can't treat his back
ers as Whistler, the painter, treated
hig sitters. One of Whistler's sitters,
you know, was in a hurry to have her
portrait. Finally she said:
“‘Now, Mr. Whistler, you've been
at work on this portrait of mine a
very long time. When will it be fin
tshed and delivered?”
Was there ever such a month a 9

Rodents Do Much Damage,
Next to the insects, the animals
that are chiefly harmful to man are
the rodents, an order of mammals
often regarded as wholly noxious.
David E. Lantz of the United States
geological survey finds that the ro
dents of North and Central America
-include about 1,350 species of 77
genera, and of these, 750 species of
44 genera inhabit the United States
and Canada. Many of these, living in
deserts, mountains and swamps, do
not come in contact with cultivated
soil. They cannot, therefore, be
classed as injurious, and many of
them are preparing the soil for future
use, and there are other rodents that
are doing useful work in destroying
grasshoppers and similar pests. Cer
tain of the rodents, too, such as the
beaver and muskrat, have an eco
nomic value as fur bearers. Native
rodents include among harmful kinds
the short-tailed field mice, white-foot
ed mice, cotton rats, kangaroo rats,
pocket gophers, ground squirrels,
prairie dogs, woodchucks and rabbits.
The house mouse and three kinds of
rats are the only rodent pests in North
America not native to the country.
They are the most injurious, how
ever, and probably cause greater
losses than all native Kkinds com
bined.
Kings of Rome.
The kings of Rome were Romulus
,who, according to conjecture, began
to reign in the year 735 B. C., and was
murdered by the senators. Titus Ta
tius, king of the Sabines, ruled jointly
with Romulus six years; Numa
Pompilius, son-in-law of Tatius; Tullus
Hostilius, murdered by his successor;
Ancus Martius, grandson of Numa;
Tarquinius Priscus; Servius Tullius;
Tarquinius Superbus, who was the
last king. The monarchy was abol
ished and a republican form of gov
ernment established in 510 B. C. There
after for the most part the chief ex
ecutive officers of the republic were
consuls, two being chosen each year.
There were many civil wars. The re
public practically came to an end when
Jullus Caesar was made perpetual die
tator in the year 48 B. C., but the em
pire is generally held to have com
menced in the year 81 B. C., when the
supreme power became centered in Oc
tavius, the grand nephew of Julius
Caesar, who reigned as emperor with
the title of Augustus Caesar. It was
during his reign that our Savior was
born. Augustus died in the year

idiosyncrasies. e e
The thing to be rememvered is that
there are personal idiosyncrasies in
every worker, and that each worker
does some kind of work especially
well and other tasks indifferently or
poorly. It is hardly worth while for
the mistress to attempt to change a
worker’s natural manner of work or
habits! Some workers plod slowly for
hours and they are not the kind that
can ever work quickly for short peri
ods. The thing to do is to try to find
out how they work best and improve
their efficiency along that particular
line.
