It is not made of gold, but of brass, and may weigh anything up to 13 pounds. It’s no wonder the men their wives have a lot of brass. —They Know It— Birds Always Busy, All through the winter' months our forests are searched, tree after tree, by nuthatches, _titmouses, creepers, kinklets and woodpeckers for egge und other hibernating forms of Insects, says the American Forestry Magazine, As spring advances, as buds open, as tiny caterpillars and grubs emerge from the egg, come the hosts of ar- boreal birds—sparrows, 'thrushes, war- blers and others—sweeplng through the woods in migration. Under normal conditions they destroy something like 90 per cent of the tiny. caterpillars hatching upon the external parts of trees before those caterpillars beceme large enough te &&yact notice.

USED TIME TO 'ADVANTAGE Napoleon Profitably Occupied Hours Which He Was Forced to Spend in Unjust Confinement. ‘When Napoleon I was forming the Code Napoleon, he astonished the council of state by the readiness with which he illustrated any point In dis- cussion by quoting whole passages, ex- tempore, from the Roman civil law, a subject entirely foreign to him, as kis whole life had been passed in the camp. On being asked by Trellhard how he had acquired so familiar a knowledge of law, Nupeleon replied: “When I was a lieutenant, I was once unjustly put under arrest. The small room assigned for my prison con- tained no furniture, save an old chair and a cupboard. In the latter was a ponderous volume, which proved to be a digest of the Roman law. As I had neither paper, pens, Ink or pencjl, you may easily imagine this book to have been a valuable prize to me. It was 80 bu’ .y, and the leaves were So cOv- ered by marginal notes fn manuscript, that had I been confined 100 years, I need never to have been fdle. -1 was only ten \days deprived of my liberty, but on recovering it, I was saturated with Justinian, and the decisions of the Roman legislitors. It was thus I acquired my knowledge of the civil Taw.” 3 Pt it Sl Long “Cross-Country Hike. Father 'IMme is the only spectator at this celestial sporting event, but he must-find it a thrilling one. In a 40,- 000-year voyage from the stars to the earth, pulses of blue and yellow light rn a neck-and-neck race, according to a bulletin issued by the Harvard College observatory. Traveling 180,- 000 miles a second, the two kinds of light do not differ in velocity as much as an inch a second, the bulietin says. In the entire journey neither gains as much as two minutes. This conclusion has been reached by study of faint variable stars in re- mote clusters, one of the brightest and nearest of which Is designated Messier 5. The distance frqm the earth of tnis ball-shaped swarm of thousands of glant stars, just calcu- lated by Harvard astronomers, is announced as 122 kiloparsecs or near- 1y 40,000 light years—a cross-country hike of 1ore than two hundred thous sand trillion miles, - Wanted! per_hour Bricklayers ...$1.10 Plasterers .... 1.10 Stonecutters .. 1.02¥, Stoneplanemen. 821, Must Be Union Men Plenty of work for good mechanics only.

The huge hydro-electric power de- velopment now reaching every part of the world owes its origin to a homely incident which took place in California mgny_years ago, in which an early day miner and his cow were tlie chief factors. istory and legend relate that on a hot day in the sumnmer of 1860 a ‘typlcnl sDplacer miner of that period tofled on his claim. To snpply water for washing the gold-bearing gravel he had provided a long length of or- dinary hose, and as the fall above was considerable the water gushed from the hose with decided force. As the sun sank the cow came to the workings to“slake her thirst, and was in danger of upsetting- some of the slufces and other -devices of the placer miner. So the man turned the hose on the cow.: By chance the water blast struck the cow in her cup-like nostrils, throwing her head back sharply. - The man was Lester A. Pelton, out from Ohio on a mining venture, and later world famous as the inventor of the Pelton -water wheel, the de- vice which ‘forms the” basis of the great turbines which transform water Into electric energy. Pelton gaid many times that the idea of the invention came to him when he saw the effect of the water blast coming in contact with the cow’s nose. Within an hour he was rigging up a wagon wheel with empty: cang tled to the rim and wds able to prove the value of what was later to be hig great invention, ; - | W. G. SCHROEDER | g Fred Web:w.
