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.— Populnt Mechanics Magazine.

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.
