STRANGE CROSS-I.X’GS We wonder how many motorists around Syracuse know that a train going forty miles an hour covers fifty-nine feet in a second, and that it cannot be stopped in less than a quarter of a mile? If everyone who drives a car would take his lead pencil and figure a moment he would find that a train can cover three-hun-dred feet in five seconds and not be running faster than forty miles an hour. That three-hun-dred feet is a good, safe distance to be from a railroad track and five seconds is very little time to lose when negotiating a crossing. We believe a realization of this one littlfe fact, should be sufficient to make drivers more careful, to even cause some of them

to come to a dead stop before proceeding over a railroad crossing that is new and strange to them. It certainly impresses us with the danger if taking chances on getting across before the train thunders along, and we sincerely hope it will strike some of our readers as forcibly as it does us. _o ■ VINEGAR MAKING Many fruit juices are well suited to vinegar making, as they contain sugar in the proper proportion and other necessary or desirable substances.

Its colors were lost at the batUe of Naseby, when the bodyguard of gentlemen- I at-arms was destroyed to the last man * while defending King Charles I from the Roundheads, holding the latter in check so as to permit the monarch* and his son, afterward Charles H. to escape, recalls a writer in the New York Sun. The standard vanished on that occasion and presumably was destroyed, for it never has been seen since. Neither Charles II nor his successors saw fit to present new colors to the corps and the very absence of the standard served to recall the heroism of the gentlemen-at-arms at Naseby until the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the corps in 1909, when King Edward presented his bodyguard with a new standard, a beautiful affair, embroidered by the wives and widows of former captains of the corps, all peeresses of the realm. Monks* Orange Trees Began Big Industry A few orange trees brought from Spain by Franciscan monks in 1769 and planted in mission grounds marked the beginning of a citrus industry in California which approaches a yearly turnover of $100,000,000,000. The first orchard of any size was planted in 1804 or 1805 near the San Gabriel mission, ten miles from where Los Angeles now is. Four hundred seedlings covered six acres. Early records say extensive orchards were developed and were exceedingly prolific, although John C. Fremont, who visited the Franciscan establishments after their secularization In 1834. said little remained of the orchards then. The navel, California's winter orange, was planted extensively in the *7os on desert land which had been considered worthless. The navel orange of today Is one of the big four of citrus fruits. The Valencia orange was brought from the Azores islands in 1865. Lemons were Imported from Australia and Sicily. Last of Aztec Rulers Montezuma was the last ruler of the Aztecs of Mexico, whose fame is due chiefly to his conflict with the Spanish conqueror, Hernando Cortez. Montezuma had been ruling 17 years in Mexico when the Spaniards arrived. His rule was so weak, however, that the Invaders, a mere handful in number* compared to the native population, soon established themselves securely, fiontezuma was taken prisoner, and when the Aztecs could no longer tolerate the overbearing conduct of the Spanish they called on Montezuma's brother to lead a revolt While this rebellion was in progress Montezuma died. Some say he was killed by the Spaniards, and the Invaders themselves gave out the story that he was killed by a stone hurled by one of the revolters, while he was attempting to quiet them from the room of the palace. Orchids With Your Bread The mold you see on unhurried cheese and deferred bread—did you know it was a flower you look at? We scarcely can notice the mold plant until it blossoms. Under the microscope we then see as rich a display as a bouquet of orchids might furnish if they were done In black and white instead of color. The plant proper takes root and spreads a mass of fine fllaments deep into its soil before it Is ready to send flowering stalks toward the night and air. The seeds, invisible pollen, are shred dustlike into the atmosphere, so numberlees that you cannot expose a disk of warm gelatin anywhere for one minute without a dozen spores taking root and sprouting on this superliliputian garden plot—Mentor.

KILLER ELEPHANT WITH 9 NOTCHES IN TUSKS, TO DIE IN ‘ELECTRIC CHAIR.’ Ada, Okla., —Ada is breathing easier. “Tex,” wild elephant, and nemesis of ihe city’s safety, is to be electrocuted soon. “Tex” is waving his trunk in a docile manner at the Newton circus winter quarters at Ada, unmindful of the sentence that is to be imposed upon him for his numerous murderous escapades. Ada is relieved to know that at least its children will be safe in the streets'and their homes are heavens of safety and not mere shells for “Tex” to slap aside in one of his characteristic jaunts into the open spaces—or the spaces he desires to be open. On several occasions the bulk of flesh and ivory has freed himself from his irons and loped unresisted through city property into the country, there to maintain his savage glee until his fury was spent on such dainty obstacles as trees, bams and farmhouses. Ada well remembers a Shrine parade in 1923, when “Tex” supposed to be present a mount for a mystic noble, bolted when annoyed by a street dog and jogged down a business street. The pachyderm walked through a garage and a barn after playing ring around the rosy in some of Ada’s finest lawns. On a certain occasion last year he again doffed his show life demeanor, tossed his keeper through the heavy oak walls of his barn walked thru another side of the barn, slapped over three show trucks and destroyed a tent. He was captured and returned to his barn, remained docile for a considerable space, but again broke loose during a trip into Arkansas several months ago. After tearing his way through all visible obstacles during a circus performance, Tex trotted off down a country road. An automobile infuriated him and he gave chase, fringhtening the occupants to the point of insanity. Then after they had deserted the car and fled on foot, the brute leisurely sat down upon the machine to meditate on his mis-

deeds. His owner, “HonesA Bill” Newton, had to settle the bill. But when Texas again assaulted a trainer and demolished half of a circus barn he had had enough. On a recent trip to Little Rock, Ark., Newton made arrangements for the electrocution of the animal some time in May. Fear of possible costly litigation growing out of the periodic peregrinations of Tex, prompted Newton to the decision, he said. Tex is estimated to be more than 100 years old, and is one of the largest elephants in captivity. He was purchased from a British firm, Newton says, when he-had a record of having killed nine persons. Tex was saved from the electric chair by the Society for the protection of Dumb Animals and is a feature of, the Orange Bros.. Big Double Menagerie which will exhibit at Syracuse bn Monday, August 23.
