Von Schlick could be seen any day visiting prominent Pittsburgh biijjimss men in their downtown oflices. He carried a satchel, and Ids arrival was always greeted by n smile indicating welcome. These men were his customers. They drank at his "fountain of youth." They accredit him with n new lease of life and the healthy condition of their families. Von Schlick has bright eyes and his cheeks Indicate that pure red blood flows through his veins. He says he vas younger at fifty than he was at thirty-five. He has nvver had a sick spell or any of the symptoms of the ailments which afflicted him before he began using a tea, the Ingredients of which were conveyed to him by an old Pulgnrian ÜÜ years ago. Von Schlick makes this statement: 'I was recovering from the grippe, was run down, and a dizzy feeling In the head, and felt like the victim of the hook-worm. This old Bulgarian knew of my sickness and while In the olllctf suggested. 'I give you pomething to make you feel better. He returned next day with a package und told me to use one teaspoonful In a cup of hot water, and to repeat the dose on,v each night for a little while. He promised I would never he troubled from sickness agnin. I followed the prescription, skeptical, of course, and one day later I was seeking that old man to ..ware from him the ingredients of that tonic. ONE HUNDRED YEARS YOUNG. "He explained to m that in Bulgaria the older families regarded this fonh as the great disease preventative and health restorer: that It was handed down from generation to generation. At the first symptom of any Kickncss the mother or women of the family made the tea for all members. It Is a wil-known fact that Bulgar ians are the oldest and houlthiest people '.n the world.

In all the world's history, has home oppression so bravely and gloriously as the Poles, except the Jews; and Warsaw, whore, the "Russians had to keep a garrison of 00.000 troops to overawe a city of 1)00,000 people," is to Poland what Paris is to France. Indeed the vivacity, the gayety and the quick wit of Warsaw's people are a constant reminder of Paris; as well as those deeper likenesses which spring from Warsaw's ascendancy in the letters, the arts and the social graces. All this, too, in a city where the most gruesome tragedies have stalked. As recently as the years of our own Civil war the Russian army mowed down thousands of men and women as they knelt in the snow, singing their national anthem. Deportations are an old story in Warsaw, every effort at nationalization was followed by slaughter, and hundreds marched the Ion trail to Siberian exile. But Poland's spirit meanwhile, became a synonym for the indomitable. The success of the Itussification of Poland has been described as the process of keeping 12.000.000 Poles pinned to Russia by bayonets. Politically nonexistent, for f!ven Poland's name was expunged from all official Russian recon's, the pre-war Warsaw vied with world capitals in science, particularly medicine, in manufacturing, in trade an I in literature. Though Warsaw betrayed none of the primness characteristic of Russian cities, reminders of her by-gono glories and tragedies were to be found even before the World war restored her autocracy. In the Lazienki gardens is a monument to John Sobieski, who stemmed the advance of the Turks in Europe, a figure as picturesque as Paderewski who now sees his land a harrier to holsheviFin's westward spread. It was in KISS that a Turkish force had thrown itself in crescent formation around Vienna. The encampment was no less threatening because it resembled a circus rather than a siege, with its herds of camels, and luxurious tents with baths and parrots within and fountains without. Mighty events often hingt on slender circumstances. Sobieski hesitated because Leopold. Austria's -mperor, first declined to addres.- Iiiia as "Your Majesty." But Sobieski's liesitation is said to have vanished when he learned tbat tbe Frencb ambassador had written to Louis XIV., who rattier boped for the worst for Austria. "Don't trouble yourself, Sobieski Is too fat to sit on a horse and fight." The "fat man" rode his charger into the thick of the fight, helping hew his way to where the Turkish grand vizier stood, and after the battle handed one of that dignitary's stirrups to an aide, with the command, "Take it to the queen and tell her that he to whom it belonged is defeated and slain." HOW ANTS CAN HINDER AIRPLANES Ants have assumed a new role in Africa that of enemies of aviation. Reports from surveyors of the proposed air route from Rhodesia to Capetown say tbar ant hills have interfered s"rious!y with the placing of aerodrome. To under-tand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous is the ant in South Africa, writes William Morton Wheeler to the National Geographic society. He continues: "Ants are to be found everywhere, from the arctic regions to the tropics, froms timber line on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the dsmpest forests to tin driest deserts. Ntft only do they outnumber in indiviJuaN all other terrestrial animals, but th'ir colonies even in very circum-scriN-d localities often defy enumeration. "One subfamily of the ants, the Drylinae. embracing the wonderful driver ants of Africa and the legionary ants of the American tropics, are highly carnivorous, hut nevertheless succeed In forming Immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of individuals. This they accomplish by relinquishing the sedentary habits so characteristic of the great majority of ents. They keep moving in long files through the jungles, capturing or killing all the insects they encounter, and even overrunning dwellings, and, in their search for cockroaches and other vermin, driving out the human inhabitants. "From time to vime these strange ants bivouac for the night or for a few days m some hole In the ground. or under a tree, hut soon continue their predatory march. Evidently they are aide to remain carnivorous, and at the same time to develop large colonVs, only because they are nomadic and can thus draw their food supply fron n large area. "Certain Individuals, the repletes of the colony refrain from leaving the

nest and foraging for food and he come converted Into flagons by distending the crop to such enormous dimensions that the abdomen looks like a transparent bead. In this condition they hang by their claws from the roof of the nest chamber and thenceforth spend all their lives receiving liquid food from the tongues of the foraging ants, storing It in their crops and regurgitating It to hungry Individuals when the liquid food supply outside the nest becomes Inadequate. "This Is. of course, apt to be tbe "a so periodically in dry regions, so that we lind the true honey ants only in deserts like those of the southwestern states, northern Mexico. South Africa and central Australia."

TACNA AND ARICA: SIAMESE TWINS OF GEOGRAPHY Tncna and Arica! The words are fast becoming as inseparable as the Gold Dust Twins, the Doliy Sisters, or Mutt and Jeff. The regions form a territorial bone of contention among Chile, Peru and Bolivia. The province of Tacna, composed of the department of Tacna and Arica, is shown on maps made In Chile as the northernmost province of that country, and on maps made in Peru as the southernmost province of Peru, bordered on the north by the Rio Saran and on the east by Bolivia. Its broad uplands are rich In nitrate, and on the Ray of Arica, at the terminus of one railroad leading to La I'az and the interior of Rollvia, and of another running to ports to the south, the delightful city of Arica fs situated, giving the possessor of the territory a prent advantage in South American affairs from both political and commercial standpoints. Here Is ample reason why these two South American republics want It, and. why Bolivia hopes that, in the adjustment, she will have an outlet to the sea accorded her. The trouble over this region arose originally from the fact that, in the days of the early Spanish settlers, the country was so vast that a few hundred square miles more or less made no difference in the affairs of the colony, and when the colonies organized themselves Into republics they still were too busy with their Internal problems to bother about where their boundaries began and where they ended. This condition was true not only of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, but of most of the other South American republics, as indicated by the numerous boundary questions which have been in dispute during the last decade. So matters drifted until the middle of the nineteenth century, when guano and nitrate were discovered In this formerly ignored region. The guano alone was then hastily estimated as worth s0t0tK),000, not to mention the nitrate. What friends could be expected to remain friendly with such a mountain of dollars between them? Since that time the Peru-Chile-Bolivia story has been one of controversies, treaties, counter-charges and plebiscites never taken. -V THE MAIL MAN: COURIER OF CIVILIZATION Did it ever occur to you that your city letter carrier, your village postmaster or your rural route carrier has a past? He is the agent by which the long arm of Uncle Sam taps your shoulder one. two, maybe three times a day, yet he is so unobtrusive that you probably do not know -him half so well as most other agents of your government, the school teacher or the policeman, for example. But he not only is an essential, hut a historic figure. The history of the postal service and Its employees extends to the days of the Romans when the earliest known means of transmitting a message was by cirier. These admirable organizers, the Romans, marked by a "post" the place in the road where the relay of one runner by another was effected ; thus they named our system long before It was born. The first letter post seems to have existed in the Hanse towns In the thirteenth century in order to facilitate relations between the merchants of the various members of the Hansea tie League. The British post office had its beginning in the sixteenth century, and our own colonial methods of handling mall were inherited from our British forefathers. Long before the people had any means of exchanging either personal or official letters, the king had established a system of conveying his personal messages and official documents by royal messengers. In the reign of King John that petulant monarch paid out a large sum for a postal service and charged It to the household and wardrobe accounts. Messengers who were thus entrusted with matters of state had to be above suspicion. They went the whole distance and were paid according to the length and danger of their journeys. In IGoS New England proposed to the British sovereign that a postoflice system be established in the colonies, as It was "so useful and absolutely necessary." His majesty paid no attention to the plea, but Richard Fairbanks, in the same year, set up an ollice in Boston to receive letters from ships. He undertook to deliver the letters received and charged a penny for each letter. He also received mail for out-going ships, but no one was forced to send mail through his ofilce. A thrilling story of the devotion of mail men to their duties is that of the pony express, the first rapid transit mall line across the 1.000 miles of prairie, desert, snow-capped mountain

eaks, and alkali wastes between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast, t whs inaugurated early In 1S00 in rder that the West might be kept more closely in touch with the North ;n vlenv of the trouble brewing from rho slavery question, and. though it had an existence of only sixteen months, it made the Fast and West only ten days apart at a time of crisis. The date of starting was to be Marcli 2G 1SC0. and Forts Kearney. Laramie. Bridger, Great Salt Lake City, Camp Floyd, Carson City, the Washoe Silver mines, Placerville and Sacramento were to he the points of delivery of mail. In St. Joseph, Mo., eager and excited crowds gathered in the streets to see the first courier, he wiry, twenty-year-old Johnnie Frey, as he dashed away on his jet black steed for the first lap of the race of flesh, blood and determination against the desolate spaces of an unpeopled country. These riders were clad in buckskin shirts, ordinary trousers, high boots and soft slouch hats, and were armed with sheath knives. Colt's revolvers and Spencer carbines. The best time they made across the trackless waste was in carrying President Lincoln's inaugural speech to San Francisco seven dars and seventeen hours. ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER VANE OF EMPIRES

Entry of Greek troops into Adrianople is an event In secular history fairly comparable to the investiture of Jerusalem by Allenby's army, for this Turkish city lias for nearly 2,000 years been a wcathervane of world politics. The rebuilding of the ancient Thracian town of Hadrian, who gave it his name, signalized a high point in the power of the Roman empire. The decline of Rome was foreshadowed some two centuries later when tho Goths defeated Valens there and made their first break through the Roman frontier. Next Adriauople was the setting for the Turk's advent into Europe. There Murad I. established himself, planned the capture of Constantinople, and sent out expeditions to subdue various Christian peoples. For a time the European capital of the sultans, Adrianople was relegated to be the chief bulwark of Constantinople. There Turk first met Slav, and there the Russians finally forced their way to the Black sea by a treaty which also loosened the Turkish hold on the Caucasus and compelled recognition of the independence of Greece. Adriauople is on the Maritza Ilebrus of Grecian legend, where Orpheus was dismembered by the Thracian women ; also celebrated, under its later name, in Bulgarian song and story. It is 337 miles by rail northwest of Constantinople. Today the city wears its past glory with a sort of . shabby gentility, with no pretension of prosperity but less squalor than the usual Turkish city. It possesses the grave of the first Murad, or Aniurath, who was assassinated in his lent after he had vanquished an army of Christian allies on the field of Kossovo. A mosque bearing the name of Sultan Baiezld recalls that monarch, whose first official act was to order the execution of his brother, who was first Ottoman ruler to call himself sultan and whose conquests finally were checked when he was taken prisoner by Tamerlane. But the architectural masterpiece of Adriauople is the Sellmieh, product of a Greek tribute-boy's genius, and relic of the reign of Selim II, the Eouis XV of Turkey. Yearly the Turks would seize a certain number of sons of their Christian subjects, and in Sinan they found they had acquired a skilled bridge builder. They allowed him to follow his bent, and the Shahzadeh at Constantinople, the Suleiman at Stamboul and the third famed mosone at Adrl1 - i anople were given to posterity. Tbe Selimi-h stands upon the highest hill in Adrianople and four lofty minarets tower far above3 a massive dome. STEEL AFFECTED BY FIRE Figures Gathered by the United States Bureau of Standards Reveal Stability of Structure. Some interesting figures relating to the behavior of structural steel at the high temperature of ordinary fires have been given by the United States bureau of standards. Naturally, the strength of steel at high temperatures has a very Important bearing upon the stability of a structure which may be subjected to fire. Without any protective covering, steel columns Tali after only 10 or 15 minutes of exposure to temperatures such as are reached in ordinary fires. Resistance can be greatly increased by the use of coverings of brick, concrete, plaster, tile, etc. to such an extent that columns so protected are unaffected after several hours' exposure to intense heat, says the New York "Evening Post. Tests have been made to determine the compression strength of specimens of structural steel when heated In an electric furnace to temperatures corresponding to dull red heat (1.100 degrees Fahrenheit) and loaded up to J0.000 pounds per square Inch. It was found that structural teel loaded to W (xx) pounds per square inch fails at about 1.075 degrees Fahrenheit, and under a load of 0,000 pounds per square Inch falfure occurs at 025 degrees Fahrenheit. For practical considerations, however, the limit of utility may be regarded as reached at temperatures of about 130 degrees Fahrenheit below those given abova
