(SEAL) | a a ee Nn | TOO MUCH FOR MRS. SMITH She Couldn’t Allow Her Old Friend, Mrs. Brown, to Keep Up Her Bragging Remarks. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith were neighbors, both were fat and both | were extremely sensitive about It. Both tried every method they could | hear of for losing weight, and, until this summer, both continued to gain. Mrs. Brown went West early in the spring and while there managed in some way to lose nearly thirty pounds. When she came back Mrs, Smith saw her step from the taxi and realized that her neighbor bad accomplished what to her seemed unattainable, “Hello, dearie,” called Mrs. Brown, “Don't you think my trip has agreed with me? Four months In the West certainly make a difference in one!” Jealousy seized Mrs. Smith. The | idea of Mrs. Brown bragging that way Just because she weighed a few pounds less! “You have fallen off marvelously, dear,” Mrs. Smith replied. “When you stepped out of the taxi I never would have known you, only for your hat!” ‘Conserve Heat From Sun's Rays. Long years ago, a gentleman in In- dia cooked a meal for some of his friends by reflecting the rays of the sun from a mirror on his cooking | utensil, says Popular Mechanics Mag- azine, This was, of course, out of | the question on rainy days and dur- ing the night. Now comes a mechan- ical harness for the heat of the sun's rays wherein it is preserved for night and cloudy-day use. At the Smithson- fan solar observing station on Mount Wilson tn California is such a device. A large 7 by 10-foot mirror, built semi-cylindrical In shape and made of aluminum-covered steel plates, focuses the rays of the sun on a 1%-Inch pipe placed centrally in tts frame. This pipe carries an oll of high boiling point, which, after heating from the reflected rays, rises.to a reservoir that is insulated to retain the heat for a long time. Oven compartments are embodied in this reservoir in which the foods may be placed for cooking. Night in Battery Park. Battery park at dusk {ts filled with} people seeking relief from the city’s heat.

BY-PRODUCTS OF LITERATURE Authoress, Planning African Trip, Cer- tainly Is Overoloking Nothing That Can Be Made Uceful. Using the by-products is the most characteristic feature of distinctly industry. How thoroughly this principle has been applied to lit- erature comes out in an interview with a charming and able Chicago novelist who is taking her five-year-old daugh- ter Into Africa gorilla hunting with Carl Akeiey’s party. The author in question will make the trip to collect local color, the basic material in the fiction tndustry. The first product will be a novel, with a movie to follow, But not all the local color which an African trip is bound to yleld can be used in a novel, so the author plans to work over the waste tn a travel book, which will find a ready sale to that small but cholce public wiich has wearied of fiction. The third and rather special product will be the story of her small daughter's reaction to the adventure, which Is expected to make another interesting book. Each of the three books is a sep- arate product of the basic local .color ; each wil! satisfy a certain special need and reach a public of its own. Between the fiction readers, the arm- chair travelers and the students of the child-mind, this author pretty well covers the gok-buying classes. Con- sidering how'}ittle daughter will prob- ably react when she sights her first | gorilla, the “child reactions” book may fairly be called “utilizing the squeal.” —Chicago News. KNOWS RIGHT TIME TO FISH Man’s Many Friends Have Furnished Him Just the rarticular Dope, and the Rest Is Easy. “I have the accur@te dope now on just when to go fishifg at the lakes,” said a man who expects to take a vacation soon. “I talked to a man last week and he sald if I wished to do any good, to fish from 12 midnight to six in the morning. He used frogs and spatted for bass and caught lots of bass and also bluegills at that time. Besides it isn’t hot then. “Talked to a man Monday and he told me just when to catch them. I learned from him that the time to fish was between sundown and 12 mid- night. He caught lots of bass and Dluegills and crappies at that time. “Talked to another man and he told me the best time to fish was from | sunup until about 10 o'clock, and from 4p. m. until dark. “There was another neighbor of mine who gave me good advice. He never fishes after dark, but says he never paid any attention to the heat and that he always caught as many | fish in the middle of the day as he did early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. “So you see, I know just when to do my fishing.” Hints to Young Authors.

In some sections of the country they seem in a fair way to help solve our housing problems. At | least they did so in a Westchester | town not long ago. The scene—the movie scene, that is —was a Belgian village, and with the accustomed profligacy of the picture producers the entire village must needs be built. The intent and purpose of the director was to build the houses of board and papier-mache, and then de- stroy them all when the picture was | completed. Certain residents of the town, however, were possessed with foresight, says the New York Sun, The township was suffering from building restriction, and some one figured that the movie men could build their vil- lage of slightly more substantial ma- | terial at a comparatively little in- creased cost. The proposition was pul | to the director, who agreed to let the town supply him with materials and labor on a proportionate basis. As a result the town has added near- | ly twenty new houses and twenty new | families have moved in, paying the | township only slightly more than the | property was worth. The township taxes the houses, the housing situation | is relleved, the movie men have van- | ished and everybody is happy. TO RESTORE WORLD WONDER | Mexican Government Will Remove | Debris Covering Great Pyramids of the Sun and Moon. Not only are the two great pyra- mids, those of the sup and the moon, situated near San Juan de Teotihua-| can, Mex., to be restored to their or- iginal lines, but the Mexican govern ment bas made an appropriation for excavating and reconstructing the ruins of the great buried city sur rounding the pyramids, which flour- ished more than 4,000 years ago. Dur- ing the last four years immediately preceding the revolutionary period, considerable work had been done in the matter of clearing away the ac- cumulation of debris that covered the | pyramid of the sun, and it stands forth | today as one of the greatest wonders of the world, according to archeolo gists. This pyramid Is three times as large as the great Cheops pyramid near Cairo, Egypt, and in its construc- tion giant blocks of stone were used. It is 1,400 feet square at the bottom. In height it is only 200 feet, and but for this fact would be one of the most imposing structures ever made by man, it is stated. The pyramid of the sun is smaller than the one of the moon. Paying Fines As You Go. Some useful things have occasion- ally come out of the turmoil In Cen- tral Europe. One of the best plans of which we have heard is a new fining system which is used in Prague. The | police carry receipts for fines for various sums in their pockets, and present them for immediate payment to hilarious citizens who break the peace by singing or playing on mu- sical instruments on the streets at the wrong time, or where the volume of harmony is too great. This tends to allow the citizens of this old city to | get some much needed rest. This sys- tem has worked so well and has be- come so popular that it was extended to traffic violations as well. It would certainly be a great convenience if we could adjust minor Infractions such as a smoking automobile, or failure to | keep automobile lamps lighted, with- out having recourse to the police or trafic courts.—Sclentific American.

Popular notion has it that the camel can go for weeks without water; but this is an exaggeration, and the camel's powers of endurance are far greater in regard to food than in regard to drink, writes Lieutenant Burnes in | Chamber's Journal. A camel can continue without drink- ing for about four days; then, if it can- not obtain drink, it pines and dies. It may not last as long if the heat ts great. This power of endurance lies in the peculiar formation of the sec- ond stomach, which is ined with cells in which the camel stores his water and utilizes it when necessary, This storehouse of water Is known to Arabs, who, if they are in danger of dying from thirst, often kill the beast and thus save their own lives, The camel can endure longer with- out food than without drink. His hump is composed entirely of fat which he has stored away. If the time is such that he cannot obtain nourish- ment, he draws on this storehouse of energizing fat. After a long journey, a camel's hump is very perceptibly sinaller, sometimes vanishing entirely. But as soon as food is again taken into the stomach the hump again be- comes the storehouse of fat for use when another emergency shall arise. How Cobwebs Foretell Weather. “Cobwebs in the grass prophesy fine weather.” How many times we have heard that, and, hoping for a pleasont day after a storm, have looked eugerly in the morning for spiders’ webs in the wet grass? If they are there, we may feel confident that the day will be fair, for the spi- der is an excellent weather prophet. Henri Febre, the wonderful old man who found out so many of the secrets of insects and their kin, tells us that the threads of the spider’s web used for vatchiug its prey are made use- less by too much dampness, These threads, so tiny as to be almost in- se Cement ~~ THAT LASTS | In building any kind j of structure use Lehigh Cement It lasts, and you are assured of satisfac- ; | tory results.

Certain things in the world, wheth- er they are funny, ludicrous, or things that produce the laughing effect, cause the brain to work certain mus- cles and nerves in a combination that It is Uke a mu- sical {nstrument. When a combina- tion of notes is struck, It produces sad or joyful tones. In the same way, the tmpression sent to the brain will start the proper combination and in- stantly the brain sends out the “laugh” order, Some things make some peovle laugh, while they do not affect others.
