THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER Hi, 190?
THE PENGUIN.
Comically Serious In Mating — Its
Wicked Flippers.
It is probable that penguins pair for
life, although nothing definite is known
ou the subject. 'When mates are cho¬
sen the process is as Interesting as it is
striking. As is the ease with so many
creatures, the males fight with each
other for the females, might being
right :,u the penguin code. The birds
have regular lighting places, and one
such battleground was found under
nil overhanging'ledge. The results of
innumerable encounters were present
in the shape of great qua a titles of
loose fositilers surrounding the little
fighting ring, which itself was'-clear of
all debris. Although the beak of a pen¬
guin is so formidable a weapon when
used on thin skinned enemies, yet their
own skin and blubber are so resistant
that %fcey can. inflict no injury by this
means. The customary mode of fight¬
ing Is really a kind of boxing, or “flip
pering," it might be called. The two
combatants proceed to the fighting
place and then walk cautiously about
each other, jockeying for an opening
and ready to take instant advantage of
a false step or move on the part of the
opponent. A11. however, is solemn and
decorous, consistent with the rest of
the life of these strange little beings.
When at last each secures a good
grip ou the neck or body of the oppo¬
nent the real fighting begins. As nine
tenths of the. lift' of penguins is spent
on the open sea, where they pursue
and capture fish, swimming with great
swiftness by strokes of the flipperlike
wings, it can well be imagined that
the strength of their wings is very
great, and when the two fighters liegin
to belabor each other with rapidly vi¬
brating flipper strokes each resounding
whack must make a considerable im¬
pression even on the protecting coat
blubber fat. No one has ever recorded
the finish of such an encounter, but it
is not probable that they result fatally.
The weaker of the two must soon suc¬
cumb under such severe punishment
and yield the field and the fair penguin
mate to his stronger rival. The
strength of the wing strokes can be
tested by allowing a penguin to take
hold of one’s coat sleeves or, better,
the back of the hand. The third
fourth stroke will draw blood, and
Is soon fully satisfied as to the pen¬
guin’s ability in this respect.
tough skin and the loose, rolling blub¬
ber beneath, besides breaking a fall
and protecting the bird from the icy
waters In which it lives,
subserve another most Important
pose.—-New York Tribune.
THE WEST POINT CHAIN.
it Was Nearly a Mila In Length
Weighed Almost 200 Tons.
From an ironmaker’s point of view
the greatest achievement during
Revolutionary period was the
of the great West Point chain.
massive chain, which lias probably
never had an equal since the first ham¬
mer struck upon the first anvil, was
stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point, to prevent (he British fleet
from making -a second attack upon
Kingston and Albany. It was nearly
a mile in length and weighed almost
200 tons, many single links being ns
heavy as an ordinary sized man. To
complete it In six weeks sixty men
hammered day and night at seventeen
forges, and the cost of it was placed
at $400,000. “The great chain is buoy¬
ed up,” writes Dr. Tac-her, “by very
large logs, pointed at the ends to less¬
en their opposition to the force of the
current. The logs are placed at short
distances from each other, the chain
carried over them and made fast to
each by staples. There are nlso a
number of anchors dropped at
distances, with cables made fast to
the chain, to give It greater stability.”
No British ship passed this iron, bar¬
rier. With its aid West Point
the strongest military post in America
—so strong that treachery was tried
where force of arms had failed. When
Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur¬
render of West Point he wrote Andre
and said, “I have ordered that a link
be removed from the great chain and
taken to the smith for repair.” The
chain, however, remained in place till
the end of the war. and links of it are
still to be seen in the museums of Al¬
bany, West Point, Newburg and New
York.—Exchange.
Quincy Sore Throat.
The following mixture will generally
quickly bring-relief in case of a quinsy
sore throat: Thirty grains of
of potash, three drams of tincture
chloride of iron, four drams of glycer¬
in and enough distilled water to make
four ounces. The dose for an adult is
one teaspoonful every hour until re¬
lieved. To avoid the constipating ef¬
fect of the iron a good dose of some
saline laxative should be taken.—New
York World.

TRIPLE EXTRACT.
Process by Which the Odor of Flowers
1.8 Obtained.
Flowers that are to be used In the
manufacture of perfumes are always
gathered at nightfall or quite early In
the morning, when the dew Is upon
them. Before they are gathered, how¬
ever, receptacles are prepared for them
in the shape of large frames, over
which are Stretched cotton cloths well
saturated with olive oil or almond oil.
The cut flowers are brought in and are
thickly spread on a frame. Then an¬
other frame is fitted over It. and that
in turn is well spread with flowers.
Then a third frame is fitted over the
second spread of flowers, and thus the
work goes on until a huge pile of
flowers is prepared,
This flower heap is left for two days,
at the end of which time the flowers
are removed from the frames and re¬
placed by fresh ones. The frames are
filled and emptied every two days un¬
til two weeks have passed. Then the
cloths are detached from the frames
and placed under great pressure, and
all the oil is pressed out of them. The
oil thus obtained is heavily charged
with the fragrance of the flowers, and
It is mixed with double its weight of
very pure rectified spirit and put in a
vessel called a "digester,” which is
simply a porcelain or block tin kettle
that fits hi another kettle. When in
use the outer vessel is filled with boil¬
ing water.
In this vessel the mixture of oil and
spirits “digests” for three or four days.
Then, after having cooled, the spirit 4s
decanted into another vessel, holding
the same quantity of fragrant oil, and
the digesting process is Hiree repeated. Aft¬
er being thus digested times the
spirit is found to have taken up enough
of the perfume, and it is then decanted
from the oil for the third and last time
through a tube, one end of which is
filled with cotton wool to serve as a
filter. The fluid thus prepared is call¬
ed “triple extract.”
THE PERFECT LIKENESS.
A Snuffbox, a Portrait and a Sur¬
prised Monarch.
It is related of Frederick II., king of
Prussia, that he one day made a pres¬
ent of a golden snuffbox to one of his
counts. When the latter opened the
Ikl ho found the picture of an ass
painted upon the underside of It.
Though he scarcely relished the king's
joke, he said nothing at the time, but
as soon as he quitted the king’s pres¬
ence he sent one of his valets with the
snuffbox to the city and gave him in¬
structions that tlie picture of the ass
was to be painted out and a portrait
of ilie king put in its place.
A few days later a distinguished
company dined with the king. The
count was one of the guests, and after
a time ho produced his snuffbox and
pretended to examine it with the air
of a man who was proud to have re¬
ceived such a gift from the king. The
latter, wishing to enjoy a little amuse¬
ment at the count’s expense, mention¬
ed to the Duchess of Brunswick that
he lmd made a present of the box to
the count on the preceding day. She
desired to inspect It, and when the
box was handed to her she opened
the lid and. looking Inside, cried in
raptures: “Perfect! The likeness is
charming! It is one of the best por¬
traits of you fliat I have ever seen!”
She handed the box to the person
next to her, who was equally charmed
with the likeness. From one to anoth¬
er the box was passed, and all testi¬
fied to the excellent resemblance which
the picture bore to the king. The king,
thinking that the ass’ head was still
to be seen on the snuffbox, felt exceed¬
ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew
what to make of the incident, but at
last the snuffbox, having made the
tour of the table, came to his hands,
and the first glance showed him how
cleverly the count had anticipated his
little joke and turned it against him.
The Mueio Critic.
At the risk of making this an apology
as well as a confession I venture to
express the hope that I may some day
have the means to enjoy the best mu¬
sic without need of telling three hun¬
dred thousand or more readers why;
whether Carubonci had tears In his
voice; how Mme. Sembrich-Eaines look¬
ed and acted; whether the second so¬
prano was off key; the basso depend¬
ent upon the prompter; the conductor
too fast or too 3low, according to ac¬
tual stop watch and metronome; how
the lights were managed; whether the
audience was large and appreciative or
otherwise and whether the music was
good, bad, indifferent and why.—At¬
lantic.
