DIVIDING THE FAMILY AUTO

Arrangement Proposed by Hubby By No Means Satisfactory to His Better Half. There is a distinct feeling in a Muncie family, due to a difference in mother’s and father’s politics, he being a Democrat and she a Republican. Also there is a family automobile. On the morning of the last election in Muncie the head of the" house made the announcement that h# was off that day and was going to haul voters to the polls. Immediately mother rose in revolt: “Half of that machine is mine!” she stormed, “and you are not going to use it to haul Democrats to the {Kills !* —— —— Father was rather warm nnder the collar then. “Indeed l am,” he retorted. “Tomorrow is my day to use it and I intend tn use it tn hajiLJlemmrrats to the polls. The day is yours and you can use my half of it as well as your own to haul Republicans to Halifax for all I care!” —Indianapolis •News.

ANCIENT CITY KNOWN TO FEW

Musan, in Korea, Visited Only by Occasional Stragglers From Western Civilization. , Few white men have been fortunate enough to wander inland, in Koiea, as far as the ancient city of Musan. This city, with its grim old waits bearing five centuries of history, lies on the very edge of Korea. To enter it is like stepping backward®to another world, into a story of the Arabian Nights. During the Russo-Japanese war several Russians took refuge there, and since then half a dozen foreigners have discovered it, but. except for these stragglers, Musan lies puknown to the western world. The great central palace, or reception hall of the city, remains intact, and close by, In partial ruins, Is the temple guesthouse. The smaller public buildings, the gates, the watch towers and even the walls -themselves hitve their own particular tell of Musan’s interesting past, but few people know it. People who have hunted tigers In the vieinity of Musan say the animals are more beautiful than their relatives of Indict or the Malay peninsula. These beauties range among the bitterly cold mountains of China, Korea and Manchuria, and far into Siberia.

TREE PESTS

Woodnecker \ Chief Wood Surgeon. . © -.- In Everlasting Conflict With Millions of Dangerous Enemies That Would .Destroy the Life of the Sturdy t „ Forest Monarchs. ii— nil ■ If half a thousand disease germs should suddenly begin eating into the Life tissues of your body, you would surely need a doctor, writes F. E. Brimmer in the Fant) Journal. Yet more than 500 species of insects prey upon the oak tree, and still we wonder at its strength and vigor. So much, indeed, that “sturdy as an oak” has become an advertising slogan. The sturdy oak owes much of its long life to Doctor Woodpecker, nature’s skilled wood surgeon. One borer would kill a tree* single-handed if at his deadly work long enough; so will a few beetles. A single mother ■beetle will produce nearly 500,000 young destroyers in a summer of uninterrupted activity. Weevils only stunt the growth of the tree and leave it full of holes, an easy victim to other destroyers. Saw flies? caterpillars, ants and moths are among the hosts of tree pests that damage the outer part of the trees. Against all these the tree is defenseless, except for the busy surgeon. A hungry bird of any other kind cannot help the tree, for the pests are hidden beneath the bark orfarunsurface. Just as plagues and epidemics wiped out whole villages of people in the middle ages, so if left to their enemies it would be only a few decades before all forests would be murdered —nothing but dead, grub-bored stubs and fallen -trunks left. To prevent this terrible condition nature sends a physician regularly to each patient. Sometimes Doctor Woodpecker has been known to spend as many as three days operating on one very bad case, constantly using to advantage his trbesurgery tools. Generally his incision is only as deep as the thickness of the bark. Often be slides his spearbill between seams or crevices and draws out the worm, leaving no mark or sear on the bark to show where he did it. At other times his cuttings may be deep galleries tunnels or caverns. A great deal of the drumming that we -hear Is only for sounding purposes i —much like a.man taps the wall with a hammer to find a studding. When Doctor Woodpecker has discovered a diseased part he directs a rapid fire of rattling beats upon the spot with his pickax bill, raining his hammerlike blows with automatic and astonishing precision,' until his prey is brought to light. Then he thrusts in his barbed bill and, with a sudden backward jerk, brings forth the deadly grub.

Early Aviation Flight.

One may be reasonably surprised that interest in aviation has not sooner revived, as a curiosity of the past, the legend of Alexander the Great and his youthful ascent in a small car drawn by gryphons. The legend was widely current in the middle ages, and many who heard it doubtless believed that Alexander’s “gryhoplane,” as a modern headline writer cheerfully calls it, had attained an altitude which would make the record ascension of modern aviation seem like a childish experiment. Gryphons, as those“who know their “Alice In Wonderland” will remember, were odd birds, and Alexander, an adventurous boy of was said to have harnessed two of them to a basket of rushes and beep carried to a height of 917.654 feet, returning so meet a protesting parent, who asked him “how long he expected to keep up his infantile tricks.” —Christian Science Monitor.

Signing Treaties.

Signatures on treaties have become ♦asy to arrange now that the system <rf alphabetical oMer is followed, but formerly the fight for precedence was a cause of grievous difficulty. The order in which names appeared on treaties used to be determined by the statps of the realms concerned. But this device involved such interminable disputes that other systems were suggested. and as long ago as 1718, at the signature of the quadruple alliance, each Power signed first the copy which was to remain in its possession. At Aix-la-Chapelle. in 1748. the contracting parties each signed one copy for each of the others. Finally the present plan of alphabetical order (according to the French alphabet) was adopted.

Steel Pipe Industry.

Very few persons realize the varied applications of the prosaic steel or iron pipe. It has been used for many years as a conduit for water, sewage, steam or gas, but at the present time pipe enters into the Construction of such varied products as agricultural implements, automobiles, architectural Ironwork and grill work, building columns, refrigerating machinery, drykiln apparatus, elevator cars, wheelbarrows, work benches, ornamental gatesj elevator grain spouts, safety ladders, warship masts, lighting and high-tension poles, electric wiring, railway signal apparatus, sprinkler systems and signal towers.' ’ As the variety of uses for tubular products increased and the cost of making steel diminished, there has been a change also in material. Fifty years ago nearly all the screw-joint pipe waa asM* of wrought trod. -

LED IN “ART PRESERVATIVE”

Conclusive Proof That the Koreans Were the First to Perceive Value 2 of Movable Type. Fifty pieces of movable type bear'ing the Chinese characters, being part of the first font of movable type ever made, were shown is the last week In the Museuifa of Natural History, In. New York. England has the otjier half of the font, which was cast in Seoul, Korea, In 1403, some years before the discoveries of Forster, Gutenberg and -the other early typemakers in Europe. It seems, thus, that to the - Koreans belongs the distinction of having invented and first produced separate type characters in metal. Each type Is cylindrically concave on the under side, in order to make It cling more firmly to the bed of beeswax which constituted the When the type had been firmly and evenly embedded in the wax the printer, sitting cross-legged before the form, covered the type with ink applied with a soft brush. Then the paper was laid lightly on the form and a piece of felt was brushed gently over the paper with one hand, after which the other removed the printed page. It was possible to strike off as many as 1,500 impressions a day in this way. • Th rown asid e a s u seless, th e font lay as rubbish on the floor of the government printing office at Seoul during the Japanese invasion of 1592-97, and so lay unnoticed and escaped being carried off into Japan. Later, however, the types were collected and the font again made up and used for printing. Although this font was the first to be made of movable metal type, various methods of printing had already been in vogue for centuries. Dr. Berthold Laufer, anthropologist and orientalist, has recently drawn up an excellent reference summary of the important dates in the history of priting. As early as 175/A. D. texts of the Chinese classics were engraved on stone tablets, and Impressions were taken on paper by rubbing. In 593 classicalbooks were printed by means of wooden blocks, block-printing on a smaller® scale having already been practiced. In 7G4 Japan adopted block-printing, and in the tenth eentury there were discovered tn Fayoum, Egypt, blockprinted books in Arabic.

To Explore Earth’s Interior.

Our knowledge of the earth- from actual contact is confined to a thin layer of only a few and what exists deeper down is a subject for speculation. The idea of exploring further by a bore-hole some ten times , as deep as any yet attempted was again brought up in the late presidential address of Hon. Sir Charles A. Parsons to the British association. He- proposed in 1904 the sinking of such a shaft to a depth of 12 miles, and estimated that it would require eighty-five years of time and cost $25,000,000 —an outlay about equal to that for one first-class battleship. S’nce then Prof. F. D. Adams has concluded that a depth of 15 miles could be reached in limestone before the rock would give trouble by being crushed, and in granite about 30 miles could be reached. Such a shaft might throw mubh light on the earth’s Internal constitution —especially as related to very heavy minerals. In Italy, bore-holes sunk to moderate depths in a volcanic district discharge great volumes of high pressure steam, and this is beIng utilized to generate about 10,000 horsepower by turbines.

Differing Types of Marble.

/Tn ifs tests of 52 different types of marbles, the United States bureau of standards has found the compressive strength of the dry,material to range between 7,850 and 50,250 pounds per square inch. Wet specimens were usually somewhat weaker, and in a few instances loss of strength from soaking was as great as 25 per cent After 30 -freezings and thawings, most specimens were much weakened, though some were little affected, while a few were actually strengthened- The electrical resistance varies so greatly that care is necessary in selecting material for switchboard. Marbles expand irregularly on heating, and part of the increase is permanent

Belated Profiteer.

In ilontana there Is an old Indian brave who appears each year with quantities of a certain luscious berry which grows wild in great profusion and which is highly esteemed by thrifty housewives for canning. For many years his price has been five cents per quart. This season the same Indian came with the same berries which had been growing wild in the same profusion, but he calmly announced his price as 25 cents a quart. Asked why the increase, he shrugged his shoulders and said: “Heap big war some place." Then he added: “Me just hear about um,” as though to apologize for not having increased his price sooner.

“So-and-So and Daughter"

It is a welcome sight to see the words “and daughter” as the suffix to the name over a shop, says the London News. It is a sign of the ’Jmes of women’s interest in business and their recognition as responsible helpmates. In the west end there is more than one emporium of feminine attire under the ownership of So-and-So and Daughter—or daughters—and I know es, another which belongs officially to father and daughters; but I have never yet come across a shop under the joint ownership of husband and wife, yet we know of countless small businesses in which the wife of the owner does a goodly share of the work.
