Many Square Miles of “Liquid’” United States

The firm land area of the United States is about 3,000,000 square miles: its water area, not counting the Great Lakes, amounts to more than 50,000 square miles—better than one mile of surface you’d have to swim across for every 60 you could walk over. ° Some of our states have far more water area than Delaware or Rhode Island has land area. The District of Columbia has one square mile of water for every eight of land.. Connecticut has nearly 100,000 acres of water to beautify its 8,000,000 of land. ~ Minnesota, with 2,500,000 acres of ‘water, leads all the states in water area, while if you count the 40,000 square mileg of Great Lakes surface, over which Michigan claims sovereignty, she has almost as much water as land area.—W. B. Courtney in ColHer’s.

Ancient Greek Furniture While there are but few actual examples of early Greek furniture, we know something about it from the colorful {llustrations contained on vases and walls which have been unearthed from that dim and distant past. There are on the market today many charming copies of Greek furni: ture, particularly in the ‘dining room and living room lines, Being pure in both architecture and enrichment they present a freshness by the most modern designer or bullder of furniture. In fact, the L’Art Moderne is of Greck inspiration. The reason for that is, no matter where we turn we can find nothing more inspiring, more correct or more comfortable to the eye than the classic proportions laid down by this wonderful race. They come back in all times, in all periods and in all styles of furniture.—Exchange, b “Bumping Off”” Trainmen Some years ago a practice known a 8 “bumping off” was common among train workers. Under -the rules of seniority, any engineer, for Instance, could bid in the run of any other engineer of fewer years’ service than he. Now~“and then, if an unpopular man, or one Incurring the enmity of the others, obtained a run he might be permitted to keep it until he hecame well- established, perhaps even moving his family to the end of the run, after which an older engineer would “bump him off,” or bid in his run.

Constitution the ‘Wo% M of Many Master Minds - In none of the relatively meager ‘records of the Constitutional convention is the authorship of any part of the Constitution definitely established. Phe delegates debated proposed plans _until on July 26, substantial agreement having been reached, a committee on detail was appointed to prepare a formal draft of the document. This committee, the personnel of which is unknown, reported on August 6a' draft that included a preamble and 28 articles, embodying 48 sections, Debate continued until September 8, when a new committee to revise the formal draft was named. This committee included Dr. William Samuel Johnson, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, James Madison and Rufus King. Its work is believed to have been largely that of Gouverneur Morris. That is as nearly as the authorship of any part of the final text of the Constitution can be identified. It may bé safd, however, that the great document was in reality not written, but was builded slowly and laboriously as a great edifice might be constructed, with not a| piece of material included until it had been shaped and- approved, all the master artisans having a hand in the task, ]

Earth’s Ages-Old Past Linked With Sequoias The mind can scarcely grasp the stretches through which the history of the Sequoias takes us—far beyond all recorded time, back to the Mesozoic and Miozene periods millions of years ago. when weird monsters like the dinosaur' and the dinotherium. roamed over the face of the earth and long before man ‘or“animals of any existing type had yet begun their age-long process of:e\folhtlon, Richard St. Barbe Baker writes, in the Washington Post. Eons ago these mighty trees grew densely in many parts of the world. No less than 45 species of redwood have been described from the fossil beds of the northern hemisphere. In North America the climatic factors were such as to favor their .persistence only in California, where they are making their last stand. Unfortunately they are disappearing too rapidly, as they are greatly im demand for lumber, but thanks to a few public spirited citizens, many examples of these stately trees have been preserved for posterity. :

Tall Trees

Living redwoods run up to 210 feet in diameter, but this occurs rarely and this species of tree is subject to great root swellingsw that make ‘such measurements misleading. Other trees that reach great size in this respect are the kauri, of New Zealand; the baobab, of Africa; the cypress, of Mexico, and the jaquitiba vermelho, of Brazil. Several trees of one or another of these species have been reported to exceed the redwoods in diameter. The largest of these whose size has been authentically established is a great cypress tree at Saint Maria del Tule, Mexico. This tree has a diameter at the ground of 40 feet and measures 35 feet in diameter 5 feet above ground.:

Stork Fable Survives

; The childish fable which identifies the stork with infant birth comes from German inventions. In Germany the stork is regarded with almost superstitious regard. It is not uncommon to & * an old disused wheel set up on a roof-tree to encourage storks to build upon it. Nothing was easier than t\\satisfy childish curiosity about babies, than to give the stork, sitting above the house, almost like a tutelary deity, the credit for blessing the home with a new-born little one, absurd and misleading though the idea may appear to many.

Tobacco in Europe Ralph Lane, the first governor of Virginia, and Sir Francis Drake brought to the notice of Sir Walter Raleigh the habit of smoking tobacco. Lane is credited with having been the first English smoker, and through the influence and example of the illustrious Raleigh, “who took a pipe of tobacco a little before he went to the scaffold,” the habit became rooted among Hlizabethan courtiers. During the Seventeenth century the indulgence in tobacco spread with marvelous rapidity through all nations.

Educating Slaves

Many of the large slave holders of the South, particularly of Virginia, took much pains to instruct their. slaves in religious matters and in the rudiments of education. The first publHe schools for Indians and negroes ‘were established in Virginia in 1620, and in 1704, Elias Neau established schools for Indians and negro slaves in New York city. In 1768 a manual labor school for Indians and negroes ‘ was established in Hyde county, N, C. —Washington Star. : 1

Affecting Temperature

It is the temperature of the air that affects the thermometer and not the fact that the air.is in motion, A hot wind will have a tendency to raise the thermometer reading, while a cold wind will lower it. In the same way it may be shown that an electric fan in operation in a room does not lower the temperature, though the increased circulation of air makes us feel cooler, because of evaporation of moisture from the skin, ; A

B e T TP PASSING THE BUCK. | I wish to inform the patrons of the Community Sales held in my barn at Ligonier the true conditions that have existed, that have caused my sales to discontinue. On July 15th some of : the merchants of Ligonier canvassed the business district to see how many | woulg sign a petition to stop my sales. On or about July 19th a business men’s meeting was held at one of our city officials office and the matter ‘was discussed. On July 21st I asked one of our city officials for a permit }to sell in the streets at 7 p.m, if the | weather was to hot to sell inside, he | very gratefully told me he would do all he could for me, and volunteered to go to the roper place and get me a permit, he returneq very promptly and infgrmed me they were not going to bother me on that evening. He also got the information they were going to try to stop me by having my sale barn condemned through the state board of health at Indianapolis, Indiana, on account of handlin® live stock intown. 2 About onehour later or 11 am. M. Ed Smith, our city mayor, called this ‘same official_and informed- him the city council was requested to meet the merchants of Ligonier in = special session at the city hall at Ligonier at 7 p.m. in regard to my sales held every two weeks, WNot. wanting a plaster put on my barn which I knew would be possible on account of being less than 150 feet from a hotel and hospital, I got busy and stopped my sales through the papers which were printed on thatday and read by the merchants before they went to the council meeting, and I suppose some did not go, but a large per cent of the merchants -who signed the list

last week that they in no way haa anything to do with interfering with my sales are the very ones that were there. Iwant to ask you, good patrons, if they had nothing to do with interfering with my sales, why were they there to that meeting? I want to ask you good patrons if they had nothing to do with it why did they call 'a meeting of the city council? Why-did they go around to see who all would sign a petition to stop my sales? Why didn’t the dirty cowards come to me and see what could be done? Why did the very ones that took my bread and butter practically the only market you have for your product andlive stock that were sold through sales of this king alloweqd to sign a paper with the innocent merchant that they had nothing to do with it? It seems to me the innocent merchant would wake up and let you know how you stand, if not he will get the blame along with the guilty ones. If they will bring their list to me I will gladly cross off the names that I know were interested in interfering with my sales, and if the guilty ones are on there you can bet your sweet life I will cross them off. It has been brought to my attention that some of he merchants have carried the report t othe country that it wag the city officigls that caused the trouble instead of the merchants. I wish to inform you that they had nothing to do with it whatever, and the most of the,jn ‘would like to see them continue. ifhere would have been no meeting of {fe city council regarding the sales:if the merchants had not requesté,’d them to meet with them on July:2l at 7 p.m. There is a-lot to be’ %ld yet, but will save it for next tim%df necessary which 1 hope will not bg. I know I have violateq the law by having live stock in town, but there are reasons to all things, But let some one stoop 30 low as to interfere with their bustness ag they have yours ghd mine and see how they like it.
