WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1920 “OMFORT AT LITTLE COST | FORMER KING IN DISTRESS Inventor Tells of Idea Which Enables Him to Have Hot Bath at Prac- tically No Expense, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, in- ‘wentor of the telephone, speaking of “he lmportance of little thiugs, in Feo- ple’s Magazine, tells of one of his own home-made devices. “Speaking of comfort in the home,” he says, “I've thought about the hot- water problem, I do most of my hard- st work late at night and in the very early morning; and I like to have a bath between 2 and 3 a. m. But, as a rule, the water heated by the kitchen stove has cooled in the boiler by that time. “I got a zinc tank and put it into a wooden box much larger, so that there was a space of three or four inches between the outsde walls of the tank and the inside of the box walls. This whole space I filled with wool. Hot water, poured into the zinc tank, I found, kept its heat far longer under those circumstances than in a con- tainer unprotected by the wool—along the lines of the thermos bottle, you see. “But how to heat the water? And without waste? Ah! I was wasting heat every night, wasting it dreadful- 1y! Think of how it poured from the chimney of my student’s lamp! I ran _two pipes from the zinc tank into a ‘hood’ over the lamp’s flame, thus es- tablishing a circulaton of water. I then proceeded with my night’s work. “Next morning the water in the tank was_a little warm, but not, warm enough. I found, however, that in the evening when I relit the student’s lamp there was still warmth in the water from the zinc tank, So! It be- came a cumulative process, and in a few nights I had the water in the tank too hot for me to hold my hand in it, : “That tank 18 now in the attic of my Nova Scotia house, and its wa- ter, heated by my student’s-lamp idea and protected by its wool covering, gives me a nice warm bath every morn- ing. The only difference is that I get the heat from a straight pipe run down the inside of the chimney to my open fire in the study.” “Barbara Frietchie.” Woman’s courage has often matched man’s. On a day in 1863 it outmatched man’s. Barbara Friet- chie’s blood runs through the veins of Old Glory. She was a gray-haired woman with the fight of a mid-Aby- sinnian lon in her veins. On a Sep- tember morning, when Lee’s forces were pouring through Frederick, Md., led by Stonewall Jackson, every flag of the United States had been low- ered. Up rose old Barbara Frietchie in the face of the regiment plowing the street. She seized a hauled-down flag and set it in her attic window, Rerself its color guard. Stonewall Jackson’s eye caught sight of it. “Fire!” The rifies shattered the staff, but old Barbara had caught the ban- ner, and waving it far out over the street, she cried, “Shoot, if you will, this old gray head, but spare your country’s flag” And the gallant Jackson's eye swam, and his shout blazed now. “Who touches a hair of yon gray head dies like a dog. March on !"—Chicago Journal. ————————— Wise Russian! Willlam F. Fox, Knights of Colum- bus commissioner to Siberia, who is speeding up entertainments for the Yanks doing police work on the Trans- Siberian railway, records an amusing incident at the installation of steam heat into the Knights of Columbus club at Vladivostok. The new radiator commenced piping quavers and demi- semiquavers, and a Russian soldier who was standing near by thought the contrivance was one of the celebrated American talking machines he had heard much about. He even thought that the tune—the first to be played by the new instrument—was the Amer- fcan national anthem. But he was quickly undeceived when Yankee sol- diers took him to the basement and initiated him into the rites of stoking a furnace. Novel Strike. There i8 a novel form of strike in progress in a portion of Victoria, Australia. Angered by the high prices charged for children’s shoes and boots, parents have been sending their boys and girls barefooted to school. This anti-profiteering meas- ure has been enthusiastically ap- plauded by the children, who enjoy the novelty, and in many cases, where parents have not joined in, boots have been discarded before- the home is out of sight. An amusing feature has been the action of a local bootsell- er in sending his own children bare- footed. As there is mo school rule which presctibes footwear, and as the days are long and warm, the strike s running its merry course. Peru Alarmed Over Chinese. The continued influx of Chinese in- to Peru is being viewed with alarm and agitation is being carried on by the recently formed Anti-Asiatic league, which has as its purpose the gecuring of more stringent immigra- tion laws. The chief fault found with the Chinese is that they enter into amall businesses and sell at such low prices that local business men can- not compete. Feeling has run high on several occasions, with disastrous results to the Chinese merchants. Picturesquely Put. Disgusted Cop (at crossing) —Some¢ chauffeur, you are! Say, if you were crossing the Sahara desert you'd run nto a hydrant.—Boston Transcript. Ex-King Ludwig of Bavaria, now living in Switzerland, is in great finan- clal distress, eking out a frugal exist- ence on donations from relatives. The former king has vainly protested agalnst the auctioning of his private property, including his wine cellar, his carriages and his high-priced horses. The Bavarian government offered to pay him $10,000 as an ‘“installment” | on the amount he is to get eventually as a settlemert, hut Ludwig has re- fused to accept this. When the Rabbit Relaxes. The rabbit’s enemies are most of the animals larger than itself; those it may outwit by flight or in the hid- :den security of its burrows; from the attacks of smaller animals such as ‘the weasel and ferret, which pursue it Into its stronghold, it has no ade- quate defense and it is slaughtered upon its own threshold. The rabbit is a solitary creature, but nevertheless it has its enjoyments of social life. Numbers of them play and dance in curious measures and. chase each other around as gayly as though they were acting movies, and the expressions upon their droll littie faces show that they are having a .good time. - Town Peculiarly Named. What's in a name? becomes a mat- ter for consideration in the case of the happy-go-lucky manner of bestow- ing one practiced by the surveying party about which Captain Reynard- son tells in his book on the Mesopo- tamian campaign. This party came to a village on the Euphrates not marked on the map, so the surveyors hailed a local Arab and asked him: “What 18 themame of this village?” “Madri,” the Arab replied, m’adrl meaning “I do not know.” But the party unques- ! tioningly accepted it as the name of the village, and M’adrl the village is to this day—on the survey map. —e How Mother Reasoned. “Propinquity is what brings about marriages,” declared Pa in didactic mood. “Huh?” “It works this way. From among the men who call most frequently at a house the daughter of the house nat- |. urally selects a husband.” “In that case,” sald Ma, “I fear our daughter is doomed to marry a bilt collector.” How Aphids Destroy Plants. That it is a matter of real Impor- tance, as well as Interesting as a nov- elty, will be realized when it is con- sidered that the annual plant destruc- tion by aphids in the Pacific northwest alone entails a loss of from $10,000, 000 to $20,000,000.
