Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Anen
Real Treasure House
King Tut's tomb Is still disgorging
wonderful relics. These Include a
number of boomerangs, hitherto known
ns throwing sticks, us< and for Hie pur
pose of killing birds. Many examples
In new forms suggest that, like the
Australian boomerangs, they eoulil he
thrown to return to tin thrower. They
are made of Ivory and wood. Another
Interesting addition is a piece of la-cad
In an opmwork basket. There Is an
other head covered basket portraying
scenes > llli captives, am) one sickle
of wood instead of the usual flint with
teeth of glass. There are also vsrl
misty shaped blue faience vases and
several vases In shades of green, these
being huger and looking not unlike old
fashioned teapots. One of I lie most
Interesting exhibits Is an ivory fan
with the handle elahornlely decorated
in colors of a kind not hitherto seen
Other objects include finely decorated
writing palettes, a pair of leather
slippers decorated In gold, and in
numerable bracelets in Ivory and blue
faience with gold decoration showing
scenes of the chase.
Value of Specializing
Recognized Long Ago
About 2,400 years ago Herodotus,
the Greek historian, wrote this about
the Egyptian: “The art of medicine
among them Is distributed I Inis: Each
physician is a physician of one dis
ease and of no more. And the whole
country is full erf physicians, for some
profess themselves to he physicians of
the eyes, others of the head, others
of the teeth, others of the affections
of the stomach, and olhers of the more
obscure ailments." . . . And here
we’ve boon going along imagining
that we have something new when we
my we are living in an age of spe
cialists. Every age is an age of
specialists, mid always has Jieen—
even in caveman days when each clan
had Its champion spear thrower. The
key to wealth and fame is specializa
tion, doing someone tiling better than
others can.—Capper's Weekly.
Balsa Lightest of Woods
Raisa (Ocliroma lagopus), called go
nno in Porto Rico and lanera in Culm,
is a common tree, particularly along
lli(‘ seashores In the West. Indies and
Central America. It is said to he
called molio in British Honduras,
lanilla In Guatemala and guano in
Spanish Honduras. The tree is rarely
more than 40 or 50 foot in height and
the trunk is sometimes from four to
five feet in diameter. The wood of
balsa is nearly white or sometimes
tinted with red, showing practically
no distinction between heart wood and
sapwood. It lias a silky texture, is
rather coarse but. straight grained, and
is Ihe lightest of all woods, even light
er than true cork. A sample of balsa
from Trinidad exhibited at Philadel
phia in 1876 had a specific gravity of
.120, or about pounds per cubic
foot.
Calcnd.tr Almost Perfect
The present calendar, which Is
called the Gregorian or New Style
calendar, is probably as nearly cor
reel as it is possible for a calendar
to he without becoming too compii
cated. The average year in the Cre
gorian is ,'505.2425 days long, while the
mean solar year or the exact time it
takes the earth to revolve around the
sun is 5105.2424 days. The annual or
ror is therefore only .00020 of a day,
which means that it will take 3810
years for I lie error to amount to one
day. This is a very great improvement
over the Old Style or Julian calendar,
which was abandoned by Great Brit
nin and iter American colonies in 1752
How False Oath Got Name
Goodwin’s oath is the proverbial
name of a false oath. Goodwin was
earl of the West Saxons in the time
of Edward the Confessor and he was
accused of murdering Prince Alfred,
the king's brother. While dining at
Edward’s table, and according to
tradition while in the very act of
denying tiny part in the prince’s death,
Goodwin was seized with a lit, which
caused his death three days litter.
The Normans started the story that
Goodwin choked to death because of
Ids false oath. At any rate, this in
cident and Ihe fabulous report of it
gave rise to the expression “Goodwin’s
oath.’’
Gave Name to “Joystick”
“Joystick’’ Is the term given I lie
world over tlie control lar by which
a pilot actuates (lie ailerons and dip
pers of an airplane and it originated
from the name of its Inventor, Joyce,
n pioneer English aeronautical engi
neer.
Tiie stick method of control has re
mained practically unchanged since
the early days of Hying, but with tlie
recent Introduction of large planes
and flying boats, the wheel control is
coming into favor for these craft.—

Death-Watch Deella
Wood worm is the popular name of
1 his enemy insert,.and some call il
the (lealli-wafch beetle, from its habit
of making a tapping sound in the
woodwork it attacks. No wood is
safe from it. While it is generally
supposed that it attacks only ancient
houses, this'Ts not the case, for it will
sometimes appear in a perfectly new
house and proceed to bore into the
timbers. IJoofs and floors are in equal
danger, and it will eat a chair, a chest
or a picture frame with I lie same zest.
Not So Good
A fund father who prided himself
on his writing ability, being a profes
sional writer, aided his little daughter
iu preparing it composition on “Lon
don” one evening. He edited her
sketch and could not refrain from
practically rewriting it, adding quite
a little polish, he thought. Janoy came
home the next evening proudly wav
ing her theme. But father felt his
feathers fall somewhat when he saw
the mark and realized that lie had
made only A minus in the lift it grade.
