u Freight by Air. Tngland {s credited with being the foremost nation in aviation. In 15 months,_the record shows, 82,000 passengers and 200,000 pounds of freight traveled 1,000,000 miles in 48,000 flights. The transocean passenger schedule, which wds so confidently predicted as almost ready several years ago, Is still remote, but it is a fact that a round trip from London to Paris (574 miles) can be made in six hours instead of twenty-four, at a cost of about $9O for plane, against $4O by rail. The g@ero company which is operating a jpassenger service between Key West and Havana, charges $l5O for one passenger one way from New York to Boston (260 miles). ) 'Rabbit Leather. Samples of rabbit leather recently sent to this country from Australia have been examined and tested by the United States bureau of standards, with a view to determining the utilizability of such skins for shoe uppers or ether purposes. : o The leather was found to have only about one-fourth the strength of calfskin and to tear rather easily. It has a great advantage in point of cheapness and might perhaps serve for uppers of fancy shoes that are not expected to stand much wear. The experts are of the opinion that it could be used to advantage for linings and novelties. -

Preparing Soil for Tobacco. For the purpose of tobacco growing the soil must be thoroughly cleared of weeds, seeds and insect larva before the plants are set out. Old practice was to. build fires over the surface, but the operation is now accomplished by means of a canvas cover under’ which live steam from a road roller is projected. A high temperature is maintained for two hours, DISPUTE ACCURACY OF CLOCK Heirs of Danish Nobleman Stand to Win or Lose Large Amount of . |Money by Decision. What time was it when the castle clock struck twelve? L Ten thousand pounds, normally about $50,000, hangs on the answer to this question, explains the London -Express correspondent in Denmark, which has been the subject of lively argument in the eastern eclvil court, Copenhagen,

The clock n question 1s In the tower of Lystrup castle, the seat of one of Denmark’s greatest landlords, the late Count Moltke, a life member of the ancient house of lords. = : Count Moltke died on the night of December 19-20,1918, a few ' seconds after the castle clock struck “twelve. The Danish parliament recently approved a new and increased scale of death duties, applicable to the estate -of all persons who died after midnight on December 19-20. It is: contended by the count’s heirs that the castle clock was fast and struck a minute too soon. The count, they say, dled on December 19, and therefore his estate is exempt from the Increase in the death duties.

" . Weavers. @ A typlcal Scots crofter weaving with the old-fashioned hand weaving loom side by side with the very latest pow-er-loom, giving an idea of the great gain in output and quality achieved in mechanical invention will be an interesting jtem at the efficiency exhibition in London, where the use of invention and effort will be shown to be of greater value than :mere personal application. Not only will the productions be seen to be more quickly executed, but the worker will find the process less mechanical, strange as this may sappear. What will doubtless strike all visitors is the enormous increase in efficlency in the weaving industry brought about by labor-saving machinery. It seems strange, too that ‘more workers are required to keep up with the efficient power-loom.—Chris-tlan Science Monitor. . Electrified Tourmaline. The crystal, tourmaline, has very remarkable optical properties, a fact known to most people. However, few people have heard of its peculiar electrical = properties. Tourmaline °is capable of attracting small bits of paper and straw in much the same way as amber, This attraction is, of course, due to an electrostatic charge. - When the crystal is exposed to sunlight of a low temperature, it loses its electrical charge, but regains it upon being heated again. If it has a negative charge at first, it will have a positive charge when 1t is reheated. , Several other precious stones exhibit various phenomena along this line, but tourmaline is the most interesting and spectacular of all.—Popufar Science Monthly,

TRAVELING BY STAGE COACH In 1860 a Journey Between San An- . tonio, Texas, and San Diego, , Calif., Was an Event. - A poster advertising overland stage travel between San Antonio, Tex.,, and San Diego, Calif.,, In 1860, has been found, which makes interesting reading these days of fast and palatial rail accommodition. “Overland to the Pacific” is the heading attracting public attention to the line. The poster calls attention to the fact that this line has been in successful operation for three years, and will convey passengers “in new coaches drawn by six mules “over the entire length of our line, excepting the Colorado desert of 100 miles, which we cross on mule back” . o

According to the advertisement coaches left semi-monthly from each end, trips being started on the 9th and 24th of the month-at 6a. m. Attention was called to the fact that an armed escort accompanied the coach “for the protection of' the mails and the passengers through the Indian country.” It was stipulated that passengers were-provided with food during the trip, except where the coach stopped at public houses enroute, when the passenger ‘was expected to pay for his own meals. 'The fare between San Antonio and San Diego was $2OO, with less amounts charged between those stations and other points, such as rt Clark, Tueson and El Paso, whilel it was announced that the fare ta igtermediate stations was 15 cents a ndile. - ; VOLCANIC FIRES IN ALASKA Torrent of Moiten San Devastated "Everything in Its Path for - T Some Fifteen Miles. .

At a meeting of the American Socilety for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Robert F, Griggs described a fiery flood which occurred °in Alaska, in the “Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.” Here he found traces of the flood of fire which, issuing from a fissure in the earth, swept a roaring torrent of molten sand through the fertile valley, devastating all’'in its path for a distance of more than 15 miles. From thousands of fissures live steam, heated gas and smoke issued. One could do one’s cooking in any of the smaller holes. And that was the only salvation of the expedition, for all fuel had been destroyed by the .flood of fire. It is only a few steps from the steaming fissures to a cave in the side of a glacier in order to have the most perfect refrigeration in the world. The explorers’ tents were steam-heated, as it were, and the bathing econditions were of the best, for a stream from the glacier fed a crystal pure lake and in the middle of the lake a steam jet bubbled and it was possible ‘to get any desired temperature.—Scientific. Ameriéan. ; y e

Be Square With Yoursel?. The habit of making excuses to.yourself and- accepting them® will soon undermine your intellectual stamina and begin to sap your moral fiber. '~ Be square with -yourself at least. Tell yourself the truth, and take no excuses whatever, Y ' List your faults and your failures, and blame yourself for them. List your bad habits, and try to get rid of them. Admit that it was indolence that made you let a job go over till it was too late to do it, and bad temper and not bad health that made you peevish with people who had a right to expect cheerfulness and courtesy from: you. e _Be your own severe but just judge. Make no excuses and take none. And you will soon find that you will need to make none, for you will have no derelictions to excuse.~John Blake in the Chicago Daily News. :

, Who Made the First “Specs?” All European references to the use | of spectacles before the year 1270 are +dubious. Pliny’s deseription: of Nero ‘looking at the gladiatorial combats through an emerald means at best only a lorgnette, or most probably a reflecting mirror. Roger Bacon in 1276 ' seems. to have known of magnifying ' lenses, which soon became common enough, but the probable inventor of _spectacles, as such was a Florentine - worthy on whose tombstone in the church of Santa Croce was the inscription: ' ~ “Here lies 'Salvino d’Armato degli Armati of Florence, the inventor of spectacles. -Anno Domini 1317.” ~Thoreau Speaks of Whitman. He said that I misapprehended him. lam not quite sure that I do. He told us that he loved to ride up and down Broadway all day on an omnibus, sitting beside the driver, listening to the roar of the carts, and sometimes gesticulating and declaiming Homer at the top of his voice. He has long been an editor and writer for the newspapers—was editor of the “New Orleans Crescent” once; but now has no employment but to read and write in the forenoon and walk in the afternoon, like all the rest of the secribbling gentry.—“ Henry David Thoreau,” by F.
