Flour From Alfalfa,
Montana Man's Claim
A westerner who is interested in the
manufacture of breakfast foods sonic
time ago made the startling announce
inent that he could make at least 7£
various kinds of candy from alfulfiy.
It Is also contended that an excellent
grade of sirup can he made from that
substance, The man mentioned is so
enthusiastic with respect to his exper
iments with alfalfa that he is re¬
ported to he planning to establish a
mill for the manufacture of alfalfa
flour, which, he asserts, will be found
to be superior t-o all other flours for
baking. Mon
Hitherto, at his small mills in
tana, this man has been turning out
a balanced ration for live stock from
alfalfa. Biscuits and a variety of
pastries may be made from the flour.
It Is highly probable, in the opinion
of experts, that alfalfa may some day
revolutionise the confectionery busl
ness. Certainl.v If nlfalfa proves Its
worth ns a candy material the acreage
planted yearly will quickly Increase
and prices may be demanded fur above
those now prevailing.
Record Frigid : ty
According to the United States
weather bureau “the extreme low tern
perature for this country occurred al
Miles City, Mont., in 1888, when u rev
ord of 05 degrees below zero was at
tallied.” Orris W. Roberts, meteorolo
gist with the government weather bu
reau station at Bismarck, N. D., re
ports: "For the past forty to Aft;
years we have maintained minimum
thermometers In all parts of the state,
nnd while It is human nature' to like
to excel a record, the lowest tempera
ture (official) ever recorded In North
Dakota was 50 degrees below zero at
Goodall, McKenzie county.”
Tokyo’s Broadway
The Ginza, the Broadway of Tokyo,
1J.S main shopping street and thorough
fare, has huofi rapidly resuming lU for
mer activity. Many jewelry stores, de
partment stores, restaurants and shops
for foodstuffs, furniture, clothing, toys,
novelties and hardware have been able
to secure sufficient equipment and
stocks to reopen business on their for
mer sites, American watches and
clocks, hnls, haberdashery, canned
goods, toilet articles, hardware, cash
registers, etc., are making their ap
pearance.
Vacation and Profit
Gathering Spruce Gum
Spruce gunjiners are now busy In
Northwest forests harvesting a unique
crop worth about $100,000. Some
spruce gum diggers or pickers who
are Industrious und real woodsmen
bring out gleanings Valued at $1,500
for six weeks’ work.
To these workers gum gathering Is
a vacation, living In the open with wild
game for food and health building hik¬
ing In the dense woods seeking the
gum deposits, says the New York
World. About threescore workers
have entered the spruce timber this
season, but several hundred might
easily find rich territory to earn a nice
piece of pin money.
A canvas puck hag, light ax and a
miniature long-handled pickax are the
tools needed, The gum nodules are
often many feet above the ground, so
improvised ladders are fashioned to
reach the pockets. Most of the gum,
however, is chipped out of the cracks
within easy reach. A day's work for
a hustler averages twenty-five to thlr
ty pounds.
Old Ring-Off Signal
Among the early types of telephone
switchboards manufactured by the
Western Electric company was the
universal board, which made Its ap¬
pearance In 1870.
These early boards were rather
crude affairs and were soon replaced,
as inventions were made und de¬
veloped, but they are of interest be
cause of certain Important features
they contain, The universal beard
was different from preceding switch¬
boards In that It enabled the operator
not only to connect the subscriber
but also to know when the conversa¬
tion was completed. This was made
passible by means of special ring-off
signals which heretofore hud not been
used.
It was soon after tlie appearance
of the universal board that the West
ern Electric company- beoame the
headquarters of telephone apparatus
and the manufacturing plant of the
Bell system.
German Students
With an Increase from 10,1105 In 1913
to 22,803 In 1924, the number of stu¬
dents of law In German universities
has risen far above that of those study¬
ing medicine, who numbered 18,121 in
1913, against 12,470 at present, reports
the Statlstisches Jahrbucli. Theology
has lost much popularity, there being
only 2,514 Evangelical students, com¬
pared with 3,672 In 1918, and 1,824
Catholic students, against 1,958. atu
dents of political economy rose from
2,212 to 10,212, and those studying the
technique of electricity In the techni¬
cal colleges Increased from 758 to
3,749. Students of historical philology
fell from 13,092 to 10,490, a*d those of
mathematical a*d fcaMiriii Seteaco*
from 7,£70 to 3,740.
Murderer’s Doom
Papuans, according to Mr. J. H.
Holmes’ book, ■'In Primitive New
Guinea,” believe that a man guilty of
murder is doomed to an eternal living
death in a swamp In the next world.
“He will strive continually to esoape
and be everlastingly sucked down
again till only the top of lils head Is
visible. By an extraordinary effort he
wHl struggle upward, only to be
sucked back again. His eyes will
bulge with pain as he rises and sinks
forever and ever, His arms und fln
gers will grow long and gnarled, like
the roots of a mangrove tree.”
Wood in Disguise
Material which seems to be a very
coarse stone, used for decorative pur¬
poses In large public buildings, Is really
a wood composition, a contractor ex¬
plained. The wood is ground up and
chemically treated, then pressed into
strips. When prepared, it looks like
stone, and adds decorative value to
almost any building. It Is deceptive to
an uninitiated person, however, to
watch a carpenter or other workman
saw this “stone" into strips or trim
off a corner with a knife.
Revenue From Cards
The Peruvian government, through
the Tax Collecting company, its own
monopoly, reserves the right to Import
playing cards, according to an execu¬
tive decree of February, 1924. A fine
of from 5 to 50 Peruvian pounds Is Im¬
posed for Illegal transportation of
plnyfng cards.

Offended Potentate
Lord Castletown, who has recently
published his reminiscences in “Ego,”
spent some time In Teheran, and he
tells how he was received in audience
by the shah of Persia, who said he
contemplated coming to England, and
inquired If there were any elephants
there, as he wanted to shoot one.
When eventually he did come to Eng¬
land he was taken to the Tower of
London. He was greatly interested In
the old block and ax, and said he
wanted to see someone beheaded. On
being told there was nobody ready at
the moment, he promptly offered one
of his own retinue, and was very an¬
noyed when the oflicials refused h'ls
request.

Good Fortune

ine of life he may be engaged.—Ed¬
