Intelligent Russians stood at the en trauces to their own homes smiling at the rioters.

Well-to-do and learned people took valuable papers and ar ticles, carrying home heavy burdens of plunder. “It would have lieen lost anyway,” they later explained. “So why should we not have the benefit of enjoying what we saved from de struction?” Two students were among the rioters and many more among the plunderers. Few murders were com mitted on the first day. The most hor rifying brutalities were perpetrated on the second day. Some houses were visited four and five times. Laborers killed their employers. In one place a young gymnnsist (high school boy), heroically defended his 'beauiiful I mother, whom his father’s working nun wanted to assault. He saved her honor, but the brutes pierced both of her eyes and the young hero was killed'on the spot. What Impresses the Jewish press most in connection with the Klshinet atrocities is the fact that the nation 11 responsible for permitting what The Jewish Chronicle (London) terms “a MtUßlerous bout of maddened savages,”- prides Itself upon its orthodox Chris- : tiuntty, . The attempt of the Russian Govern ment to conceal the truth from the I world ”is an example of zaoral turjaC. : tude that excels, ify^lbie. the cruelty | of the murder- us assault itself,” thinks I rhe Jewislr American (I)i•troiti.

Bess arabia. The fact that hundreds of Jews were killed outright, or brutally injured, that their homes wert looted and burned down over their heads, scarcely perturbed the placidity of the Russian police officials.

"What makes flat WhecW?” asked the man sitting next the Ad brake man. ? “Blame fools." said the 'makeumn. “It’s this way: If a man doesn't know how to stop his car he makes a flat wheel.

As for the last-named nut (otherwise known as the filbert), which does not seem to be fully appreciated in this country, though greatly prized in Europe, no ' grafted seedlings are yet ready for dis tribution, though they are being pro pagated. Uncle Sam employs the services of half a dozen "agricultural explorers,” ~,, ~,, I - - - ■ 1 " as they are called, whose business it is to ransack every corner of the world for whatever seems desirable In the way of new w valuable plants. The same man wllo secured the lordan almond, notwithstanding the obstacles thrown Ills way by Spanish growers, sent over, not long ago. ‘’bud wood” ol some wonderful Persian walnut, which are six times the size of ordinary ones and deliciously flavored. Tin* wood has been used for grafts on eommor walnut seedlings, and already some thousands of the grafted trees are on hand. Moot It«<nnrkabU Money tn the Worm. The most remarkable money in the world is used on the island of Yap. in the Caroline group. Two pieces of it are shown iu the accompanying pic ture, each of them being a single coin, perforated through the middle. Coins of this kind aye sometimes as much as twelve feet in diameter, and vary in value according to their size. They are circular slabs of limestope, and form a most unwieldy medium of exchange. A man who had extensive business debts to meet would need a whole fleet of canoes, or, perhaps, ten yoke of bullocks and a wagon, to trnu- ■ (W 1 ” — ■•'■ XX-XT.- sport his specie.

Mb« Story" Tk«t Ho» 7»h«| | Attention of Santa Club Woman. I “Problem stories" u « still rife fl nd popular among those clever Chicago club women who enjoy sharpening their already keen wits upon bard or perplexing questions. Never a “club luncheon,"' an informal’gathering of any kind, or one of the “after club” sessions that are always so enjoyable »nd pleasant takes place without three or four of these stories being presented. Here is a particularly good and puzzling “problem story” for wtfkeh. as yet, no feminine solution has been found. A certain man, of marked business ability and equally marked business Integrity, had been persuaded by a tru^Jed friend to purchase heavily of certain stocks. After he had signed the agreement to take the stocks, but widle they were still unpaid for, he happened to attend the theatre, leav ing, he somehow managed to slip On the coat oCan unknown neighbor, in stead of his own. Going home in a car, he desired to read over a letter from the friend who had persuaded him to purchase the st^ks, and, taking ,thlo letter, as he supposed, from the pocket in which he had previously placed it, he opened it and ran his eye casually over the first page before he (realized that, while in his frjend’s (handwriting, this letter was not ad (dressed to or intended for him. He caught sight of some reference |to the lately purchased stocks, how lever, and, unable to resist, the tempta (tlon to see what was said of them, read the letter through. To his horror and dismay the man to whom , the letter was written was strongly warned against buying any of the stocks in which the writer of the letter had induced the inadvertent render to invest so largely. The inad vertent reader was still further hor rified to And in what a direful predica ment he was now placed. If he retained and paid for the stocks In question he undoubtedly, according to the information conveyed in the let ter, allowed himself to be heavily "sold.” If, on the contrary, he refused to take these stocks he must explain how and where he had obtained the information that had caused him to change his opinion—a circumstance particularly abhorrent to the man whose proud boast had long been that he had never yet found it necessary to divorce his ideas of business and personal honor, that he had never stooped to a low or dishonorable thing. All the circumstances and conditions of the case, financial and otherwise, had been fully discussed before the agreement to purchase the stocks was signed. There was no way of open ox honorable retreat’ for him, and yet— to lose, ns he now knew he must If Ihe stocks were retained, would set him back a long term of years finaneMßy and undo the clever, honest, painstak ing work of many month#. did ^l«? The Giant Squid. One of the most remarkable as well as gigantic animals of the deep sea is the giant squid—a favorite tidbit of the sperm whale. The size to which these animals grow, their strength and their hideous appearance places them on a par-wlth many of the weird and gro tesque creatures of a past age. The squid uudoubtodly attains a length of nearly, if not over, 100 feet, and pieces have been taken from the stomach of whales which suggested animals far beyond this in size. No more hideous ereature can be im agined. The body is barrel-shaped, the tail like an arrow head, the eyes as large as saucers, black and white, hyp notic and staring. The arms are at tached to the head and are ten in num her. from ten to twenty feet long in ex tremely large animals, while two are from thirty to fifty feet in length, de pending upon the size of the individual. The short arms are provided with ex traordinary suckers their entire length. The two long ones have them only at the extremities, and they form vir tually a pair of pincers, which are shot out thirty or more feet like a flash of light to seize unsuspecting prey, which is then hatiiefl among the shorter arms aud held powerless to escape. The mouth is small, hut is provided with two lat’ge parrot-like beaks. This iweird creature, weighing tons, with a power of changing its color like a cha meleon, and in some species luminous, lives .in deep fjonblike bays and prob ably in the deeper regions of the ocean, i as it, is rarely seen except when it is wounded. The Yard an Arbitrary Meaturo. The yard, is an arbitrary measure. Its use as a measuring standard goes so far back that it is not exactly known now or where It first became a standard of measurement. The metrical system, however, is bused up on the meter, which Is the ten mil lionth part of the quadrant of tl.e earth, measured on a meridian. Tnls system was adopted by the French ' convention in iTbS. The National In stitute of France ordered a new and actual measure of the whole arc of ithe meridian which extended the en- [ Hre length of France from Dunkirk on .the north to Barcelona in Spain. This meridian passed through Paris. ; As this measurement was to deter mine the exact length of the meter, the labor of measuring this arc was in ,trusted to two of the jmost eminent en gineers In France at that time. They insed rods of platinum twelve feet in length, for measuring Uio bases, and the precision with which the angles were observed was sueli that when the length of the meter, which was to be one-ten millionth of the length of the quadrant, wgs finally determined, the | Pmif *WW Creola, M.
