In the Bronx Zoological Park In New York; City is one of the most wonderful; examples of gouged rock to be found anywhere, says Nature Magazine. Here the larger teeth of the rasp cut long, deep channels throughout the surface of the softer material. The smaller teeth made grooves and slight scratches, while the sand and very fine material polished the entire slab almost as though a buffing wheel had done the job. This wonderful sight lies exposed in the ostrich cage, unnoticed by most of j.he park visitors. i— o BARBS KILL CATTLE r — One would find it hard to attribute any virtue to the terrible cholla ege-j tus. the moat spiny and dreadful of all American plants, says Nature’ Magazine. Starving cattle in desperation try to pierce the thorny barricade for a mouthful of the tempting green pulp within, only to dde slowly from the festering barbs. In extreme dry seasons the ranchmen often set a torch to these. Only the thorns .burn and the nourishing joints remain as safe fodder. AD3 EARN—l—?—2

Wood of Lignum-Vitae Harder Than Hickory Idgnum-vltae, the vital wood. or wood of life, which 1* found In the West Indie* and some other parte of the tropical Americas, Is Mid to be the hardest wood nature produces. The reason why thia wood la »o tough is the arrangement of its fillers. Instead of being straight, they weave back and forth, crossing and recroasing, lUe the weave of an automobile tire. Another peculiar feature of thia wood la that when the tree la cut, the Sup cells fill up with a very heavy rosin, which causes It to weigh about eighty ponnda to the cubic foot. It is one-third heavier than water, and so, while excellent for uiauy uses It would not make a good raft. It Is used for carpenter's mallets, ns it is so tough that it will not spilt from hard usage, and It Is also employed for tool handles. Os the wood growing in this country the hickory ia generally supposed to be the hardest, but for making mallets and other uses where great toughness is needed, it will not stand onehalf gis hard usage as does lignumvitae. Odd Properties Are Accorded Elder Tree Moat people know the comtpon elder tree, but probably few realize that more attributes are accorded to this tree than to any other. It is, for instance, a pretty safe refuge from flies and other Insects, for they avoid It, while cattle refuse to eat its leaves. It Is often found growing in churchyards, as it Is supposed to be avoided by witches and ghosts. Whatever Its magical powers, the I elder certainly has valuable medlelnal properties, though whether the English villagers’ belief that the leaves of an elder bush growing on a wall will cure tits Is justified is open to doubt. Jn some districts It is also believed that to 'stund near an elder tree during a thunderstorm gives certain Immunity from being struck by lightning. I A fungus called “Jew's ear” often appears on the trunk of the elder treo. and this, too, has been supposed to be a cure for quinsy. King’s Mythical Sword Excalibur is the nkme given the famous mystic sword of King Arthur, which he found Inserted in a sheath , of stone and pulled out, although 201 ■ of his bravest knights had singly been unable to withdraw it. An inscription on the stone declared that whoever ' should succeed in unsheathing the , sword would prove to be the rightful • heir to the threne; and Arthur was accordingly chosen and proclaimed king by general scciamattrfh. The sword was said to be so bright that “it pave light like thirty torches.” Arthur, at the approach of death, commanded i an attendant to east the sword into a , lake nearby, but the order had to be given three times before it was obeyed. As soon as the sword touched the water, a band “clothed In whltd samite" appeared, caught It by the hilt, flourished it three times, and then sank beneath the waters of the lake. Tennyson lias related this incident in “Morte d’Arthur."—Kansas City Star. Lip Reading in Mills A London police court was amazed by the ease with which a deaf mine was able to speak and hear, moving soundless lips in answer to the messages he read on the lips of those who spoke to him. But this feat would not be considered remarkable In for the girls who work in thr cotton mills have brought the art of conversing by lip language to a high degree of perfection. It is impossible to carry on ordinary conversation in the hum and roar of the weaving sheds, but long practice has enabled the girls to converse quite easily across a long room filled with the deafening noise of machinery by watching each other's lips. Honor in Nickname I From a very early period in its history Tennessee was called the “Volunteer State," because of the prominence of some of its sons in the early wars of the United States, and because the inhabitants of the state were always in the forefront of action. During the war with Mexico, when President Polk called for 2,200 soldiers from Tennessee, 30,000 volunteers promptly responded. It was at this time that Tennessee confirmed the title of Volunteer state. * » ■ ■ Romans Freed Slaves The negro slaves of ancient Home were gradually freed. The closing «f the Roman conquest and the introduction of Christianity modified many of the regulations concerning slaves. Justinian was largely instrumental in mitigating their position and making It easier for them to obtain freedom. Slavery therefore,'although practiced by th* Teuton conquerors of Rome, was gradually replaced in medieval Europe by feudal vgsaelage. Songs of Earthworms Earthworms sing loudly enough to he heard 12 yards away, and their song frequently falls into a syncopated rhythm, startlingly reminiscent nf jazz, reports a zoologist of Freiburg. In pub ' lishing his observations the investigator compares a worm's voice with the I percussion of a tiny hammer on a very thin membrane. He ittesds yurauihg his investigations fafthe.- to leers the [ situation of the worm’s vcca! organ
