’WHEN HAIR “STANDS ON END”
NHentlflo Explanation of Feeling Moat
People Have Experienced at
jj Some Time'
-While the expression “hair stand
ing on end” is merely a figure of
speech the fact remains that this is
floe of the involuntary effects of sud-
den terror Such reactions cannot
kie controlled except by a prolonged
effort of the will for they are the
natural way in which certain mus-
cles of the body act under certain
influences
Each individual hair has a tiny
muscle at its root which in the or-
dinary way keeps the hair lying flat
n the head or in whatever position
we have trained it to grow The
sensation of fright transmits a mes-
sags from the brain to these muscles
and they pull tight causing a feel-
ing on the scalp as if the hairs were
standing bolt upright
In the case of short-haired ani-
mals the hairs will rise at the slight-
est provocation — a provision of na-
tun which enables them to appear
- larger than they really are and thus
frighten their enemies
EDISON OF ANCIENT GREECE
Inventor who Wee Apprentice Aloe
Mode Machines to Oporate by
Putting Coin In Mot
An old Greek experimenter of
- - Alexandria was working on a steam
engine invention 150 years before
the Christian era He had an ap-
prentice named Hero
Hero constructed the first steam
turbine engine which was of the re-
' nctionary type but for all that it
- mould spin like a top
He also invented a steam whistle
nd a pneumatic blower by which
he could' sound trumpets and organ
' pipes in a way that mystified his
public
Hero also made temple doors open
v and close mysteriously by use of
compressed air and pistons He
made a fountain which is still
philosophic toy known by his pame
He made the first machines to b
put in operation by inserting a coin
in a slot and a "dioptric of spying
' tube” which was the forerunner of
the modem spyglass and opera
glass
LUMBER WASTE UTILIZED
e
Only a few years ago the amount
of waste in the lumber industry was
appalling From the time of cut-
ting down a tree until it reached
the condition for the consumer
much more than half of it was
wasted Bogalusa La is the great-
est lumber city in the world and
there are establishments there to
make use of nearly all the material
that has been rejected in tye course
of the operation of dressing lumber
- There are factories for using the
odds and ends of wood others en-
gaged in the extraction of turpen-
tine and other materials from the
wood and mills for making pulp
from parts which have not been oth-
erwise made use of
SUBMARINE PILES OF PAPER
Three Layere Glued Wound on Wood-
en Cylinder Covered With Corde
—Steel Heat Utilized
Files for submarine supports are
now being made of paper in Califor-
nia the chief recommendation of
which ia the' fact that they are not
subject to attack by the teredo which
ruins wooden piles in a short time
On a long wooden cylinder a long
roll of tarred paper with glued edges
is wound and covered with cord
Over this another band of paper
much narrower is wound diagonal-
ly like the bandage on a wounded
arm ’
The cylinder is revolved while it
is bound with more cord hot glue
being applied continuously Alter
three layers of paper have been put
in place the wooden cylinder is re-
moved 'and the paper cylinder is re-
inforced with a coarse mesh
A mixture of cement and sand is
squirted all over the cylinder' and
several cylinders are joined end to
end with the same cement so as to
make a pile 60 feet long and from
18 to 30 inches in diameter
A square steel head is fitted over
the top to receive the shocks of the
pile driver
EXHAUSTED HER INTEREST
Her Husband— But why should we
move? You were perfectly delight-
ed with this neighborhood when we
came here a year ago
Mrs Chatterson — I know I was
but I'm tired of talking about the
same old neighbors for a whole year
GAB PRESERVES FRUIT
They are going to send two or
three shiploads of California grapes
to the East by way of the Panama
canal The railroads are not quite
able to handle the crop Instead of
refrigeration a new process is being
used in the marine transportation of
perishables The grapes are kept in
chambers supplied with a preserva-
tive gas and this is expected to keep
them' from decay in their three
weeks' journey If these experi-
ments pan out according to hopes
and expectations there may be muc
more shipping of California fruits
by way of the Panama canal next
season
FEAST OF THE FLYING FISH
ACR08S THE TABLE
To me a compliment given in the
way of flattery doesn't mean much
but when some one sincerely telle
you something which gives you a
thrill of happiness whenever you
think of it I believe that is a real
compliment
Last Sunday was our wedding an-
niversary1 and at breakfast my hus-
band looked at me and said: "Well

gether and just think I can still
look across the table with the great-
est delight” — Chicago Tribune

BOOM IN LEECHES
After many years of neglect the
humble leech is again coming into
popularity The "animated mustard
plasters” are exported from Turkey
and Paris has one leech farm sell-
ing 130000 a month
HANDICAPPED BY A PREJUDICE
The field of utility of the finger
print is being rapidly extended For-
merly used only to identify crim-
inals it is now widely employed in
the classification of others such as
illiterates who cannot sign their
names to money orders and patients
in hospitals who are temporarily de-
ranged and some bankers urge the
general adoption of the system as a
protection against forgeries Only
the odium growing from its associa
tion with prison records in all prob-
ability prevents a much wider use
than now prevails
BIBLE ON NEW8PAPER LINES
Modern civilization needs a new
Bible edited along "newspaper

Education association at Chicago re-

headlines subheads editorials and
news bulletins” he said

among the Japanese in foreign coun-

every family and to Japanese boys
in general
The flying fish are but a small
part of the feast for besides that
there are presents and gifts of
images toys statuettes and mani-
kins of Japanese legendary heroes

the youngsters lessons of courage
and manliness
It is customary to present a paper
fish to the Japanese family to which
a boy has been bom since the previ-
ous festival The principal toys
given usually take the form of im-
ages or manikins which represent
famous characters of Japanese his-

Why we sell more caps of English

wearing such headgear has increased
amazingly since the advent of golf
Take a look arounj at any crowd

wear a cap successfully The moon-
faced chap is the one who can do
so” — Detroit News

public is thinking only of whether
he is going to get elected or not”

TELL OF HUMAN SACRIFICE
Annate of History Filled With Tales
of Horror Connected With Heathen
Religious Rites
How the Gauls favored human
sacrifice is shown by Julius Caesar
who 'writes : "Heaped mounds would
he met in Gaul which were places
of sacrifice” A huge image in the
form of a man or a deity would be
erected all hollow within into which
human victims would enter and
then be set on fire
In Africa in the last century a
king of Ashanti wishing to secure
the favor of the gods for his palace
had 200 girls put to death and their
blood mixed with the mortar for the
new edifice In Mexico where hu-
man sacrifices were very common
the rain god was propitiated by the
sacrifice of children and to insure a
good harvest men and children were
sacrificed to the spirit 61 corn
A certain mimicry of sacrifice is
illustrated by the Mexican offering
of s puppet of dejugh in the form of
a man while the- maiden sacrifice to
the Nile was an image of mud
formed on the banks of the river
ANYWAY SHE TALKED BIG
An office boy wss sharpening her
pencil for her And while she wait-
ed for it another girl came by and
paused long enough to ask if she
looked all right Her chief old
Miss Blank had sent for her and
he was so nervous she didn't know
what to do-
"I know it's about using too many
type ribbons but law I car help
it — the ibean old machine tears them
right out”
"The ideal As if she was any-
body to be scared of Buck up and
say to yourself like I do : I am the
master of my fate I am the captain
of my soul' ”
And she couldn't even sharpen a
lead pencil! — Washington Star
