GROUNDHOG IS WISE
IN SELECTING HOME
Although the tradition still clings,
the belief that the groundhog emerges
from his hole promptly on February
2 each year has been long disproved.
And now conies .T. M. Nelson, who has
made a study of the little rodent, to
tell us that many of the species do
not hibernate at all. Here is his j
account of their habits as published
in the Farm Journal:
“There are some which burrow into
tlie soft earth along streams and
store ttieir food for the winter months.
These are never seen throughout the
winter. They are the real hibernu
tors. But there also are groundhogs
which make their homes in eaves and
sink-holes in which they store quan¬
tities of food. They may be seen most
any time during the winter, when the
weather is fair.
“The groundhogs along rivers often
make winter homes in places which
later are covered with water for days
at a time. .Sealed tunnels and air
chambers give protection and, while
the water may be running overhead,
the groundhog will he enjoying his
cache of food which lie was wise
enough to store before be was stiut
off from tlie world.”
POSSIBLY TOO MUCH
JAZZ SHOCKED HER
A crisis had occurred at the Or¬
chard. The maid, who had only been
employed for a month, suddenly an¬
nounced that she Intended leaving.
“But, June," said her mistress,
“what do you want to leave for?
Haven’t I suited you in every way?”
“Yes, ma’am; I suppose you've been
kinder than many others,” agreed tiie
maid slowly. ,
“Of course, I have, Jane. Now you
be a sensible girl and stop where j
you are. I’d like to know how many ;
other mistresses would go to tlie ex- [
pense of having a wireless set fitted
up in the kitchen!”
"Yes, ma'am,” said Jane. “But it’s
that wireless set that’s tlie trouble—
I ain’t satisfied with the programs!”

America’* "Red Sea”
Once crystal clear and pure, the
water of a small lake 15 miles south
of Maricopa, Calif., is now blood red
and is so strongly impregnated with
minerals as to lie unfit for drinking
purposes. The phenomenon attracted
the attention of chemists at the Uni¬
versity ol California, and they say tlie
coloring of the water is due to the
same vegetation, scientifically known
ns diatoms, that gave tin* Bod sea of ]
Biblical renown its name.

Gettysburg, battlefield shrine of the ;

WHY
Silver Quarter Is Called
“Two Bits.”
“Bit” has been applied in England
to coins lor centuries. It was one
time thieves’ slang for money in gen¬
eral. Thomas Dekker so used the term
in “A Knight’s Conjuring: Jests to
Make You Merie,” which was first
printed in 1607. Later “hit” came to
he applied to any small silver coin.
Even yet the British use it in such
phrases as “sixpenny bit.” Our use ot
the term in “two hits," meaning a
quarter of a dollar, originated in the
West Indies, especially Jamaica, where
“bii” was originally applied to small
silver coins forming fractions of tlie
Spanish dollar. It was applied spe¬
cifically to tlie real, which was equal
to one-eightli of tlie dollar then in use.
Examples of the term in that sense
date back to tiie Seventeenth century.
When the Spanish dollar disappeared
from circulation in the United States,
a quarter was called two bits, and a
half dollar four hits. Twelve cents
and a half is never called a hit, al¬
though in some sections of the coun¬
try fifteen cents is called a long
and ten cents is a siiort hit.—Path¬
finder Magazine.
Why Sleeping in Open
Promotes Good Health
Contrary to old-fashioned ideas
sleeping in tiie opeti is not harmful
and night air is now held to be in¬
vigorating. When tlie sun sets and
night falls night air is the only kind
obtainable and it is considered far bet¬
ter have plenty of night air than to
breathe foul or stale air. Night air
acts as a tonic, says Dr. Harvey Wi¬
ley, authority on health. One of the
of civilization, he claims, is the
of tlie house. If there were
no houses there would be no tuber¬
culosis, he asserts. Tuberculosis, how¬
ever, is not the only disease tiie house
responsible for. Cutting off the
supply of fresh air reduces the
vitality of tiie body to such an extent
that not only tuberculosis germs, but
of other infectious diseases may
more rapidly take hold. This problem
lie best handled, lie says, by mak¬
ing use of sleeping porches. Every
house, whether in tlie crowded city or
tlie country, has one or more
These porches can easily nnd
be fitted out as sleeping porches.
Why Variation in Wind.
Tlie weather bureau says that owing
to the friction at the surface of the
earth, tlie air near the ground always
has less velocity than the air a few
hundred feet above it. In tiie daytime
this faster air is mixed up with the
air by convection induced by
surface heating. In this way tlie sur¬
face air Is given a greater velocity
it would have if not mixed with
tlie upper nnd faster wind. At night,
when there is no surface heating and
no convection, the upper wind, except
when quite strong, glides over tlie
lower air, which is held relatively
by surface friction. When tlie
upper winds are very strong they mix
with tiie lower air by mechanical tur¬
bulence and the surface wind remains
as strong by nigiit as by day.
Why Anomaly of Frost.
Frost forms only when the temper¬
of the object on which it oe
and tlie immediately adjacent
is at or below the freezing point,
degrees Fahrenheit. Tlie tempera¬
of the grass, for instance, espe¬
in low spots and on still, clear
may he 32 degrees Fahrenheit,
lower, while that of the air a little
away, and 20 to 30 feet high¬
may be 40 degrees Fahrenheit, or
This explains the anomaly of
at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It
40 degrees Fahrenheit, say, where
thermometer was, hut not where
frost was.
Why We Say "Piping Hot.”
"Piping hot” is a relic of the an¬
custom of a baker blowing his
in tiie village street as a signal
his customers that his bread was
that moment hot from the oven.
baker was evidently an unpopu¬
member of rtie community in tliose
days, for in tlie minds of
of a superstitious nature he was
with tlie devii 1 So we
tlie term “baker's dozen.” Tiie
dozen—13—was the number of
supposed to gather in evil
at set periods, and the spite¬
minds of the ill-willed readily sub¬
“baker” for “devil.” *2
Why Mirage Forms.
A mirage is due to conditions ex¬
in the atmosphere. As a result
deviation of the rays of light
by refraction and reflection,
seen with tlie eye appear in
positions and often multiple or
inverted. One cause of a mirage
the desert is the diminution of the
of the air near the surface
the earth, often produced by the
of heat, the denser stratum
tiius placed above Instead of,
is usually the ease, below the rarer.
Why Bubble Is Round.
A soap bubble is round because it
a surface tension which causes
pressure in all directions. The
bubble is covered with a film,
the tendency of liquids covered
such a film is to assume a spheric;.!
Why Known as “Pirate.”
Tlie Latin word “pirata” means to
or assault,” and the Italian
means to “rob by sea.”
English word is derived from
