The picture slide show given at the Gaiety airdome Thursday night for the benefit of the Jasper County War Mothers by State Geologist Barrett, “Beauty Spots of Indiana,” was fairly well attended and was quite interesting, except that the picture machine was not working well and did not show up the views as plainly as it should.

Well, how are things coming with you? We expect some troubles. If we did not have we would think things were coming too easy.

Clyde Reeve of Deleware county, New York, came Tuesday evening, and the reason that he had not come in time for his father’s funeral was due to the fact that he did not knoivof the latter's death until he reached here. He had been wired shortly before Mr. Reeve's death that the latter was very bad and to come if he could, and he had tried to reach the folks here Sunday by wire to learn of his father’s condition, but was unable to do so. He therefore started for Rensselaer Monday. He will probably remain here over Sunday.

SCRAPS

Every Chinese junk has an eye carved on the bow in order to “see” where it is going. The potato was first introduced into Spain by IHeronymus Carda, a monk, in 1553; into England by Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake In 1563, and into Ireland by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1586. The bishop of London has publicly announced himself a conscriptionist, and said calling-up notifications will be sent to all the clergy in the London diocese under the new act, the principle to be observed being that one priest should be left for each parish. He appealed to the church to rally to the national cause without regarding the exemption accorded the clergy. The Living Church. James Chalmers, an Englishman, was the first to conceive the idei of the postage stamp as at present used. In August, 1834, he drew a sample of an adhesive stamp and then printed a few gummed copies. The English government adopted his adhesive stamp, according to a decree of December 21, 1839, and issued the first stamp for piblic use on May 6, 1840. A year later the stamp was introduced in the United States and Switzerland, and soon afterward in France, Belgium and Bavaria.

lt requires at least five minutes for submarines of the largest type to submerge. A submarine can not dive quickly under the sea, because the water which must be let into her ballast tanks to make her heavy enough to sink must be let in comparatively slowly. It it were Ist in with a rush the boat might not go down on an even keel, but would heel over and be in great danger of disaster. Then, too, if water were let in too quickly there would be danger of too much entering, and in that case the submarine would sink like lead to the bottom of the sea.. When Lord French visited the little country town of Oldham t > inspect the Rutland volunteers, he found time to leave a horsesl oe on the castle walls. From time immemorial the lord of the manor has demanded a horseshoe from every peer of the realm on his fi s- setting. foot within the “lordship.” The custom is carefully kept up, and the ever-increasing collection of horseshoes which hang on the wal's of the hall of the castle numbers some 200, ranging in size from that of the ordinary racer to the Broddingnagian proportions of a shoe seven feet long.—London Chronicle.
