Jt Is In n Jewish legend that Methn selah declined nt the', age of six hun dred or so to go to the trouble of build ing a house because the Lord answered his question as to how much longer he had to live, nnd the patriarch de cided that three, hundred years was tooshort a time to warrant him in making the exertion.

The name Algernon was originally "nls Gernon," and was first applied to one of the crusading Percys. Hit nam wns William, hut bis fellow knights called him William nls Gernon or Gernon, meaning William with the Wilskei's, or just Whiskers for short.

COAL PYRITE IN EXPLOSIVES lows Geologist. Uvestlgate Coil Field. m j.j .,,..", ..., for Needed Mineral,, With Excellent Results. An investigation of pyrlte, nn essen tial material in the manufacture of high explosives, Is being made In tho cnnl fields of Town under the direction of Dean George F.

High explo sives are made 'with the aid of sul phuric ncld, which In turn Is made chiefly by roasting pyrlte, popularly known as- "fool's gold." Hence the mineral Is In great demand. For many years pyrlte for acid pro duction has been Imported from Spain, stntes Doctor Kay. But III order to save the ships for more urgent uses, the shipping board has sharply reduced tho Import of pyrlte.
