What’s in a Number? An aero squadron, prepnrnlory to the start for the front, was belns initiated iigoin Into the mysteries of close-order drill. While most of the men knew every nut, bolt and square inch of canvas on the planes, they were more than hazy about the forgotten details of their apprenticeship days in the army. "Squads right !*' bellowed the commanding officer. The majority of the squadron managed to get there somehow or other, but No. 3, rear rank, fourth squad, was totally lost. He maneuvered aimlessly about the field for a time, trying to find Ids place, and finally walked into the arms of the captain. "Here, yon. where do you belong? What’s your number?” The buck snapped out of his trance. "No. 284526, sir," he announced.— Tlie Home Sector.

Small Girl's Criticiam. Little five-year-old Lois had hoen told not to he In such a hurry when she put away her playthings, to take a little more care and pack them straight. One evening her grandma was faking her home after dark. As they were walking along the street lights wore turned on. She looked up and asked: ‘‘Grandma, who turned all of those lights on at once?" On being told a man at the electric ligtit plant turned them on, she said: ‘‘Well, then, who turns on all the lights in the sky?" Grandma told Iter God did that. Noticing that the new moon was tilted at a different angle from what site had noticed before, she said rather disgustedly : "Well, I wish God would take just a little more time when he turns on the lights and turn that moon on straight while he i« about It."

This Half-Dollar Rare. Ever since the news that a silver half-dollar of 1853 brought $2,500 was published throughout the country a few years ago. there lias been n greater misconception as to this coin than any other ever struck by the United States mints. This arises from the fact that there are two kind* of halfdollars of 1853. Tlie rare variety has no arrows at Hie dates and there is no sunburst on its reverse. Only two specimens of th's coin are known to lie in existence. Half dollars of 1853 with arrows at date and sunbursts on Hie reverses nre very numerous. however, and they have frequently dashed tlie hopes of holders who were unfamiliar .villi the dls•inclion between the two varieties of the coin.

MARKS HOME OF CONFUCIUS

Temple in tlie Town of Chufu, Shantung, Honors Memory of Great - Chinese Philosopher. In (he little town of Chufu. in Shantung on Hie spot where Confucius lived nnd taught ids disciples, in tlie I happy outdoor fashion of other an- ! clent philosophers, under a plum tree, j Stands his temple, a great pitik-and- ] garnet pavilion bordered with blue i and green nnd violet and gold, its yel- j low roofs, the yellow sacred to Con- I fucius and royalty, resting on the handsomest dragon-carved pillars in I the empire and marched along by pro- | cessions of tiny animals whose symbolism only a sinologue could explain, hut whose grotesque charm to western eyes goes Gothic one better. It j 8'unds on a great terrace bordered i by triple balustrades carved into vas- | es of marble flowers, ascending by triple staircases emblazoned with phoenixes and more dragons, and before it stretches a vast courtyard planted with cedars and enclosed bypink walls. Pink walls, old cedars, yellow roofs! These always to Confucius. For this temple is only the pattern of Confuoian temples throughout all China in \\hleh Incense lias been burned to the sage by 73 generatims.—The New Republic.

AVIATOR WELL WRAPPED UP Swathed Like Mummy, Roland Rohlf* Still Complained of Cold During Voyage In Upper Air. A description of tlie costume worn by Roland Itolilfs when he broke the altitude record the other day. by driving ids airplane 43,610 feet up in the air, easily adds another reason, possibly financial, for the disinclination of tlie average citizen to try similar experiments. Mr. Itohll's necessarily dressed for cold weather aloft. He ^ wore a woolen shirt, khaki riding breeches, a pair of woolen trousers that came up round his chest, several sweaters and more woolen shirts, a “teddy bear" flying suit, which is a good deal like a diver’s suit lined with fur, a chamois helmet, with openings only for eyes, nose and mouth, a fur helmet lined with newspaper, nnd a pair of goggles. On his hands were gloves covered by mittens, and covered again by thumhless gauntlet mittens which still left him the use of his fingers to manage Ids machine; and on Ids feet were three pairs of woolen socks, one pair of thick paper socks and a pair of sheepskin-lined hunting boots. A final and very Important part of his costume was an oxygen mask. And even so he “felt the cold keenly" before he got hack.

Have You Got Your Monkey? Since Dr. Voronoff. the famous' French scientist, announced that he could prolong life by grafting a certain' ductless gland front a monkey in place of tlie atrophied gland of tlie human male, the monkey house up at the Bronx zoo lias been Hie Mecca of thousands of New Yorkers, who have evinced a new interest In the occupants i of the cages. "I’ve seen old men watch the critters for hour* since that yarn was printed," said one of the keep* rs at the zoo. ‘’That’s all they’re Interested in now. It's a good thing the monkeys don't know about it or they’d g> on j strike for more food and liberty.” One of the catch lines of Hi • day on ' Broadway is : "Have you picked out your monkey?”

Affluence. "1 met Professor Diggs on tlie street Just now and he was so excited he hardly recognized me. He was intitiihllng about a hank account, a newdress for Maggie, a set of reference i hooks he’d been wanting 20 years and 1 other Incomprehensible matters. 11 thought at first lie was crazy.” “Oh, don't feel alarmed about tlie) professor. Ho lias just had a stroke of i good fortune and feels like a million- j ulre." "The university has raised Ids sal- I ary to $1,800 a year, practically equiv- | alerit to tlie wages paid Hie Janitor i who sweeps the hallway.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.

His Signal Whistle. A certain college lad called frequent-! Jy on his sweetheart and instead of j knocking gave a signal whistle of a i lew musical notes. Approaching her house one night, two of us girls noticed a light In her room and In Jest gave the familiar signal and dropped on all fours and crawled more rapidly Hum gracefully across tlie lawn into the shadow—when what was our horror and embarrassment to find Hie young man waiting there nnd viewing our antics with evident enjoyment! « To add to our humiliation, though we had often heard him whistle, we had never met him before.—Exchange.

Plants That Cause Annoyance. Quite a number of plants are possessed of short hairs on their stems or leaves, which will cause a rash to break out uixin sensitive skins. One such Is the primula oliconlca, which Is one of the commonest pot plants In greenhouse or on window sill. Many who work In conservatories or glass houses often find that hyacinths cause severe eye trouble. The Idea Is that Hie pollen is Hie Irritating cause.— Boys’ Life.

Using a Wrench. A monkey-wrench should never be drawn backward from the jaws, as this movement is likely to bend the liar. The wrench should always be puffed toward the Jaws.

AIRPLANE "SENDS’’ 175 MILES

Record Broken in Wireless Transmission of Message From Ship in Clouds. Washington.—What is believed to have been n record in the transmission nf wireless messages from an airplane in flight to a land station was reported by the army nir service. Recently during maneuvers of the Thirty-seventh infantry at Fort* Mackintosh signals sent from a plane were recorded at the Del Rio, Texas, a distance of 175 miles. An altitude of 3tHi feet was maintained during most of the time, and a general north and south course was flown. The messages- were received without a break, although the operator stated that tit times they became faint and the distinctions varied, dm* likely to the direction of the flight. RUSSIAN SPURNS RAW MEAT

Prince Troubetzky, Strong Man, Bends Coin With His Teeth on Vegetable Diet. New York. I’rinee I’liul Troubetzky, Russian sculptor, whose studio is at Hollywood, Gal., nnd who came here fairly radiating strength, declared that eating vegetables Instead of meat had transformed him from a sickly youth to “one of America’s strongest men." To prove his strength, tlie prince bent a quarter two ways with Ids teeth, smashed some walnuts with a blow of his fist, and raised above Ids head some weights which an ordinary man could not budge.

Balancing Rock on Mountain. Fltchhurg, Mass. -On the western slope of Waehusett mountain a balancing rock has been discovered. The rock, which a man found while blueberrying, Is sir feet high and lias three points of contact with Hie rork beneath. It can lie rocked perceptibly In one direction without being dislodged from Its position on the natural platform.

Under Same Name 1,000 Years. London.—In preparing Hie papers for a transfer of the license of tlie “King and Tinker” at Knfleld, search of the records showed that the place hed been run under the same name as a public house for more than 1.000 years, making It perhaps the oldest Inn In England.

THEY TOOK HER LITERALLY | But Probably Musical Comedy Star Did Not Mean Just What She Threatened. A popular musical comedy star was taking her summer vacation in a New England village tlds year, and good natnredly agreed to participate in an "entertainment” to be given at the town tiall for the benefit of local charities. She procured from New York one of the costumes from her Inst winter’s show, and a fetching poster showing herself In that same costume. Soon after the poster was on display a delegation of village ladles waited upon the committee of gentlemen who were engineering the entertainment nnd protested against Hie chic costume of tlie poster, which was, in fact, that o' the conventional "prince” of musical comedy, with a frank if pleasing display of silk-encased limbs. "Let’s send for Miss de Lnncy and see if we can’t fix it up," a committeeman suggested, and this was done. Now. besides being good natured, Mlqy de I-auey Is high-spirited, and rattier thought Hint Hie costume which had been good enough for her to appear in for some hundreds of times in New York would do for one appearance In Hlcksvllle. “There is no use talking,” she announced with decision, "I’ll appear in that costume or pothing!” There was u moment of horrified silence, then quick whispering among the Indy delegation, nnd a moment later their protest against Hie proposed costume was withdrawn.—I’hiladrlpbla

COSTS MONEY TO RUN ZOO

Pets of Londoners Are Really Expensive Propositions in the Feeding Line. How much does It cdst now to feed an elephant for a year? Two thobsami i dollars, say tlie officials of the London I zoo. And a giraffe costs half as much. So that, with the increased prices of food, have come new problems for the keepers of menageries. The meat foods include beef, horse flesh, guinea pigs, rats, cats, mice, rabbits, frogs, snakes, fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gentles, snails, ants and cod liver oil. The gazelles, buffaloes and antelopes must be provided with rock salt. They are fed on oats, bran, hay, green clover, together with carrots and potatoes. Thibirds are the most difficult to feed satisfactorily. Flamingoes, for instance, require soaked wheat, boiled shrimps and fish cut small. Some birds are fed largely on bullock's liver. This Is cut into slices, boiled, then put through a mincing machine. Tin* mince is dried In a slow oven nnd prest rved. The dry mince Is usually mixed witli Iiraq or poilurd. Quantities of Insects have to be kept in stock for the insecteating birds. These are principally meal worms and gentles, which i* the polite name for meat maggots. Rut for some birds tlie* nnd grasshoppers nre required. The monkeys require fruit, such as bananas and apples, while the snakes must lie fed on small animals, such as rabbits, mice and ruts.

New Idea in Storing Coal. The Ingenious plan of storing coal in carbonic acid gn«, a* undertaken at Dortmund. Germany, gin s tin* safety from spontaneous ignition of underwater storage, while tlie container offer* tlie eonvonieiiee of Hie overhead bunker. Kaeh of tin* three eylimlrionl bunkers must met ed, witli a eapneity of 2 700 tons, luis semi-spherierl top nnd bottom, and three tilling opening* at the top, with throe dlselmrging outlets at the bottom. The lower outlets lire gas tight when closed, but us tlie carbonic acid 1* much heavier th-m air the upper openings do not require being absolutely leak proof. A grab on a stnuSuriil steel tower unloads tin* coal from a barge. The coal is dropped into a siimll hopper, and then fed to a push-plate conveyor, whlrh i- so placed tlmt it may serve In filling cr emptying the three hunkers. The small amount of carbonic acid gas that leaks out In removing coal cu5i lie r-adily replaced.

Fun for the Girl. One evening, coming home front the theater on the street car with my lady friend, I stepped from the ear and noticed an aiitoniiiliile coming up behind the car. I kept my eye on the automobile and took tlie elbow of tlie next person flighting after me, expecting It to lie my friend. Still watching the motor, I led the elbow safely to tlie walk, ami then turned my attention to her. But, to my embarrassment, who should I find myself escorting, lint a great, tall man, who said In the sweetest voice: "Thank you, I was never escorted by a young man across tlie street before; you a»e the kindest fellow I ever met.” My lady friend was fallowing us, and she gig gled over the joke all the rest of the way home.—Exchange.

Artificial Tree fer Birds. Dr. H. B. Warren Is having a concrete tree built on his lawn at West Chester, Pa., to provide homes fer birds. The tree is upon a wire frame 15 feet high. Holes of different size* will lure the birds to meet and rest. At the base of the tree will he a large concrete hath to provide Hie guests with running water at all times. Imitation limbs on Hie ‘‘tree" will give perching accommodations. But the question Is, will the birds he fooled by this elaborately counterfeit tree? We have seen some most elaborate nnd expensive bird houses empty year after year.
