EXPLAINING GRADES IN ARMY

Fanciful and Pretty Tale of the Origin of Insignia Which Denote ' Martlal Rank.

Fanciful indeed is the tale woven about the selection and origin of the various marks of army insignia. The story begins with a two-barred fence, near a growp of trees. One of these is a sturdy oak and another a silver poplar, the tree which grows to greatest heights in our forests. Above this tree flies an American eagle, It is night and the stars look down upon the scene. The first step, or first rank of a commissioned officer is climbing the first bar of the fence, and is denoted. by the one bar on a first lieutenant’s shoulder. Another step up and the officer has his foot on the second bar of the fence—the two bars surmounted being indicated by the two-bar ‘mark of the captain. The next stage of the climb upward is the branches of the trees, and the rank of major, denoted by the gold oak leaf on the shoulder, has been’ reached. e ' In order to go higher the candidate for higher rank must now surmount the tall silver poplar, and when he has done so he is entitled to wear the silver leaf of the lieutenant colonel, The eagle soaring over the treetops indicateg the rank of colonel—the silver eagle being worn by officers of that rank. The stars are the highest of all and were reserved as insignia for generals.—Detroit News.

DISPUTE ORIGIN OF CALICHE

Sclientists Disagree as to How Rock . of Which Chile Has a Monopoly, e Came About.

Chile’s chief source of revenue, of which the country has 'virtually a world monopoly, is obtained from the rough rock known locally as caliche. Scientists disagree as to the origin of this valuable mineral, according to a writer in the National Geographic Magazine. Some claim (and Darwin among them) that it had its origin-in seaweed of an ancient period./_ One savant argues that the deposit resulted from nitrogen contained in guano. Others believe in its atmospheric origin, advancing the theory that in a remote age electricity passing through the moist air, by combination, formed nitric acid; this in ‘turn, impregnating. the flood waters of Andean streams and coming in contact with the limestone of the rocks, formed nitrate of( lime; another step in nature’s laboratory brought this nitrate of lime in contact with sulphate of soda, forming the caliche found today. T Todine, precipitated from the nitrate solution, is the most important by-prod-uct of the caliche rock. By agreement among the nitrate establishments, Its production is limited to every sixth year, .that the market may not be overstocked. :

Flour Used in Making Watches.

Two barrels of flour are used every week in making watches at a/ wellknown factory, which turns out from 2,000 to 8,000 watches a week. Since a baker uses about three pounds of flour to five loaves of bread, it follows that for every watch the maker uses the equivalent of a third of a loaf. The flour is made into dough and the dough 1s used to handle screws, rivets and other small parts. Each man in that part of the business has a lump of dough always at hand, and when he wants to examine a screw he jabs a piece of dough on it. Then, turning it over, he has a good chance to look at it with his watchmaker’'s microscopic eyeglass. Many of the screws are too minute to pick up easily with the fingers, and many more, though Ilarge enough to be picked up, would be so covered by the fingers or the forcers as to be almost hidden from sight.

The rise of American taxidermy to a level with the other fine arts thus far 18 a chapter of unwritten history. It is probable that not more than a score of persons now living know the real story of the Soclety of American Taxidermists and the revolution that it wrought. It would be utterly inadequate to write of the masterpieces of American taxidermy without setting forth at least an outline of the history that they represent. A few members of the youngest generation of workers, snugly ensconced in stone palaces of peace and plenty, have talked learnedly of the “new school” of tagidermy without mentioning the men who toiled in laying the foundations and in erecting half the walls of that “school.” I am told that today there are taxidermists who do not like being called anything less than “geulptors.” i

The fragrance of flowers regulates their temperature, says a professor of chemistry at the University of Nevada, at Reno. He ba? his belief on recent | experiments with the essential oils of certain desert plants. These olls apparently serve as a protection against the extreme heat of noonday and the chill of night. ' The vapor of the olls absorbs more heat than ordinary alr, he says. Rose oil absorbs. thirty-gix times as much heat and anisol 352 times as much. By surrounding itself with a layer of such odor-filled air, the plant reduces the amount of heat which reaches it in the ~ daytime and also obtains a sort of air ~ blanket to protect it against the chill _of night. ~ . ¢ .

LETTER MAY BE RECALLED

Post Office Department Regulations Make Provision for Withdrawal : From the Mails,

Have you. ever written a letter, mailed it in a corner box or in your local postoffice and then changed your mind? asks a Postoffice 'department bulletin. Have you ever.lain awake all night wishing you had the letter back again and thinking that, having once mailed it, there wasso chance of recalling it? &' | ; If you have had such an experience don’t let it worry you in the future, for under the postal laws and regulations it is a comparatively easy matter for you to get the letter back into your own hands. | : All you have to do is to go to your local postmaster and explain to him that you want to withdraw your letter from the mails. The postmaster must comply with your request, providing you can furnish proofs that you are the sender of the missive. These proofs consist of giving an accurate deseription of the letter you wish to get back as well as presenting to the | postmaster a sample of your handwriting, which must be identical withthat on the original letter. : | The rules of the Postoffice departament also permit postmasters to telegraph to the railway mail clerk and get him to take a recalled letter out of a mail pouch after it has left the city on the way to its destination. This measure to secure the return of a letter is only taken, however, in extreme emergencies. , DOG TAUGHT TO STEAL SHEEP _lntelligent Collle Made His Master Rich Until the Trick Was Dis- ’ . covered and Stopped.’ ¢ | : Sepa | At one time gheep stealing was a | capital offense im Emngland, and many men were hanged for it. The records show that th& successful of these rogues owed thelr prosperity to the faithful dogs wiiich they had trained for the purpose. . In one case a notorfous criminal praieticed sheep stealing on a large scale, Whenever charged. with the offense, he was able to prove an alibi. T : Here is the explanation. When sheep were for sale he would view them as a prospective purchaser, taking his dog with him. The dog carefully noted the individual sheep handled by his master. Man and dog would then depart. Later in the day, or during the night, the dog was sent back to the flock. In an incredibly short time the collie sorted out the selected sheep—from ten to twenty out of a flock numbering hundreds—and drove them away to a spot where he knew his master would be, : :

Ancestry of Birds.

Evolutionists believe that man arose from the basic stock that produced the apes.’ The ancestry of birds can be retraced still further to none other than the lowly reptile. Fossil birds, to which we must look for our evidence, are almost as scarce as fossil men, - Extinct reptiles and mammals have been preserved for us in abundance, but the very power of flight, which raised the bird above its reptillan ancestors, has done much to cheat us of avian remains. .Cumbrous, awkward creatures, without this maglc gift, chance eaught in sticky pitch or the treacherous mud of some lagoon, are unable to escape its grip. But the light-bodied, quick-winged bird is seldom trapred in such a way.
