Reel dents ®f Alaskan Island Nsad Service» ®f Man Skilled with Drill® and Foreepa. ^ On® of America's little-known war romances la revealed by Jfolih ft. Van Deventer In hla story of precision gunge* which appears In Everybody's. Virtually all of our munltlou* had to be made to limit gauges which had to b® corrected by meuns of precision blocks |o within a few uilllloitHis of an Inch. "Twenty*“ year» ag'8” writes M r .‘ Van Deventer, “a Swedish tool- maker named Johansson made up his mind Hist the millionth of sn Inch was the coining thing -limited during nine yeura for a practical way to get It and got It. How? Nobody knows eg- cept Johansson, and h® won't tell. For over nine years lie kept everybody guessing. Our best shops Imported his blocks and used them for check ing the gauges. "Then come the war, with Its won derful stimulation of American ge nius. With It ci^me also th- need of being Independent of the old world In tb>y matter of gauges. , "The war took K. C. Peck away from bis Job of running a great fac tory In Cleveland and brought him to Washington to tak® charge of the gauging of ordnance product*. It brought Wllllntn E. Hoke of St. Louis td the bureau of standaFl*. with an Idea of how to produce precision Mock*. Colonel Peek und Major Hoke got together, and in six months were turning <>ut pr<vl-lon block* accurate to the millionth part of an Inch." The magic of beauty la more potent than was that of Hlinon Magus or of Paracelsus. Beauty I* a dITerent thing from ornament, which may be the dis guise of ugllnea*. It la a gift for which no artificial attractions can ever be a substitute. It is a power greater than birth, wealth, knowledge or genlo*. People inay be proud of their birth, bnt after all we are not our ancestor*. The rich man may transmit hla wealth to his offspring, but It may be all wasted In a single generation. Knowl edge may he a satisfaction to Its pos sessor. but has It not been said that "the more a man gnlnetb of knowledge the more he galneth of sorrow?" Gen ius. although ii wins admiration, may be an obstacle rather than an aid to success in life. Burns and Poe and Baudelaire had genius, but It did not bring them any worldly advantage. Beauty, on the contrary, la a key which opens all doors. It shines on the world like the sun. and Its Influence Is universal. In Emerson's words. It Is “Its own excuse for being.” To be beautiful Is to be worsbl(»ed. Idolized, caressed, and adored. The plain, good people may proteat against the Injus tice of a world which prefers beauty to virtue. But the fact remains.— Rochester Post Express. I® any dentist hunting for a loca tion 1 Here’s one. It Is on Afognak, sn Island lying east of the entrance o t Cook’s Inlet, on the Alaskan roast. While the Icebergs float around oc casionally and bump one another la the sea like giant monsters In a gam® of water polo, yet It Is comparatively warm up there now, aa the summer I® coming on with Its flowers and mo®- qultoea. But whether an Arctic win ter or a brief summer Is on, peopl® will have the toothache up there near the Arctic circle the same as do the sweltering residents these days along the thirty-sixth parallel of latitude. Mis* Virginia Clark, an acconw pllstied young woman who was bom and reared on the Island of Afognak. and I* now teaching the youth of her naUve land and village, send* out this cry for a dentist. The Information I* given In a bulletin of the Alaska Bu reau of Publicity: “A dentist bs-ated here would have a snap." U the only Information given out by Misa Clark. She give# no clew as to the flnaneial standing of the patients, but the lucky dentist could no doubt flght off the H. C. L. night mare by doing a piece of dental work for an Eskimo and taking hla pay In walrus meat. Mlaa Clark floes say that potatoes and garden truck thrive there, the fishing Is good, and there are plenty of clams and wild ducks.

In the far- reaching Influence which the growing, fattening and marketing of live stock has upon the social and economic wel fare of all classes of people. Including producer*, distributors, ufid the rneut- rousumlng public. The ’ slaughtering and meat pack ing business Is the largest manufac turing Industry In the United States, according to the United State* census of manufacturers. The sales of live stock In the Chicago market alone to taled nearly $1,000.000,000 In 1018. or over $3,000.000 a day. and the dolly sales at all of the centralized live stock markets of this country total close to $•-*0.000.000. England Harbors Ex-Queens. Knglund will soon he the laud of five queens, a potential and powerful group either In politics or poker. The figure resembles a misdeal, but It Is ex plained by the fuct that Knglnnd baa a queen and a queen mother, while there are In Knglund the oae-time queens of two other countries. They are soon to be joined by another, Em press Marie of Kussiu. She and the two other foreign ladles are deep In unhappiness — three of the saddest queens, as an observer has remarked. In modern history. The two whom Empress Marie will“Join are Empress Eugenie und the queen mother of Por tugal. These three women plainly tell the story of greatness. One of them was drlveh from her throne and her son w h s killed fighting for another coun try ; another was exiled after having been robbed of her husband and son. and her other son driven from the throne; the last was widowed and her son, her grandson and her grand daughters brutally murdered. Breeding Makes No Difference. It lias been claimed by lovera of do mestic cats that highly bred members of the species do not engage In hunt ing Insectlveroiis and song birds. A few days ago a city gardener captured a handsome cat In the act of killing a ! young robin which had just left Its ' nest near hla house. He did not kill the bird hunter, under the authority recently granted by th® Conservation Commission, but took the animal and Its victim to the bom® of the cat's ; owner. There he learned that the cat : waa a highly prized ribbon-taker; and | the owner was Indignant at Its cap ture.— Rochester Democrat and Chron- ! icte. Gat Revenue From Pssta.

The knockout blow Is scientifically explained as follows: When the low er Jaw is struck on It* point, especial ly with an uppercut, the bony portion of the ear Inside la driven forcibly up ward Into the glenoid cavity of the skull, above and behind which Is sit uated the delicate labyrinth of the tuner ear. The Jawbone strikes hard upon the thin plate of hone that .support* these sensitive organs and gives a shock to the semi-circular canals that is in stantly transmitted by them to the bulb, producing dizziness, nausea and momentary paralysis. This explains why a sideways blow on the Jaw I* more effective as a knockout than one delivered directly upon the point of the Jaw. For the shock of a sideways blow Is received in one glenoid cavity, that on the side opposite the one on which It 1» struck, while the Snockxif a blow In the center Is divided between the cavities on the two sides. ALIENISTS CAN BE WRONG Ample Proof That Even Most Abl® of Psychologists Are by Ne Mean* Infallible. Too will not find the word “moron,” as used by psychologist* and alienist*. In many dictionaries, for It Is a word coined only very recently to describe a certain type of person who la men tally defective although not luuane. Col. T. Easby Smith of the selective service board, Washington, made a lit tle speech at the Atlantic City meet ing of the American Medical associa tion in which he rather “guyed” hi® professional associates on the way they Judged a man to be a moron or sub-normal In Intelligence. After relating how the board of psychology had set a certain soldier down aa having the mind of a five- year-old child, he drew a hearty laugh at the expense of hla colleagues by adding that this same board had ana lyzed the Intellect of a certain mem ber of President Wilson’s cabinet and tiad pronounced It to be on the level of a twelve-year-old, and had in the same way set down an eminent gen eral in command of one of our armies abroad as a ten-year-old In Intelli gence.
