The uae of a hiiiiiII proportion of

exposed to air and moisture Is ad
vised by D. M. Buck, metallurgical en
gineer of the American Sheet and Tin
Mate company. The use of 0.1S to
0.25 per cent, In normal open-heunh
or Bessemer steel greatly lessens cor
rosion, hut heretofore the use of cop
per steel haa been chiefly confined to
aheet metal. It la estimated that the

doubled by the addition. Copper melta

ONE HIQH SCHOOL A DAY
For Twenty.Ilght Yeara That Haa
sen the Record Thla Coun.
try Haa Made.
In a pamphlet on high achoola In
thla country, Issued by the federal bu
reau of education, It la atated that the
total number of these achoola In 191T
18 was 13.951. The- mailing list of
the bureiu Includes the names of
18,300 high achoola. The number
of tbeae achoola haa increased over
452 per cent alnca 1800. Thla means
that one high school baa been estab
lished In thla country each day In
edch calendar year alnca 1890-a high
echool a day for 88 yeara.
In 1890 60.8 per cant of the high
achoola were under public control, but
In 1918 the public-controlled high
achoola were ST per cent of the whole.
The average site of a cjty high
school la 653 students and of a rural
school 89 student!.
In 1800 only 812 persona In eacb
1,000 population were enrolled In pub
lic high schools. In 1918 the corre
sponding number waa 15.6, or almost
five times aa great a proportion. Cali

The Yellow World.
It la easy to see why China's Im
perial color la yellow, wrltea a cor
respondent from Yangste river, Her
rivers are yellow, her long plains are
yellow especially In a fumlne year
auch aa thla, and as for her seas the
boundaries of her world so desert
yellow la their color that a string of
camels crossing them would look more
In keeping than a string of Junks.
And so one can understand why the
very heart of the heart of China, the
Imperial city, should lie like a shim
mering lake of golden tiles within -her
lotus-besieged walls. Even against the
evidence of my own eyes I cannot be
lieve that the Great Wall la built of
solid ordinary stones laid one upon the
other. Rather It seems moulded mit
of the stuff tf which the mountain!
themselves were made, long ago when
the world waa plastic and empty of
all save possibilities. There never
was so sinuous a thing as the Great
Wall built by men, I think, so slnuoui
and so aspiring.
Been Some Gre.t Man Who
Remained Single.
Who la the most famous bachelor
In. history! While, as la natural to
expect, a Urge majority ' of the
Doubles of the past have been mar
ried men, there have been a few who
have attained prominence In the
world of art ot science, of states
manship and In war without the aid
of a 'better half."
One who bad as much claim as any
other to the distinction of most emi
nent bachelor la Michelangelo, one of
the greatest figures of the past Vol
taire, sciential and atateaman, la an
other great wan who remained alngle.
In the realm of warfare few of the
really great have remained bacbelora.
I'ernaps tie moat eminent la Lord
Kitchener, who waa ao laregly re
sponsible for Eugland'a military
atrength In the World war.
Eliminating theae few tbe list pre
sent! a mora complicating problem to
one who would pick tbe greatest
There are aeveral others of about
equal prominence. Among the paint
era Kapbaet ataodi out aa one of tba
greatest to die unmarried. Chopin
and Beethoven achieved fame In the
realm of music without tba Inspira
tion of a helpmate,
' Several modern writers, poets and
easaylAte achieved prominence by
themselves. Charlea Lamb, Alexander
Pope, Walt Whitman, Phillips Brooks,
Henry James, Whittler and Swinburne
bead the list
Petrarch waa an unmarried histori
an, and Cecil Khodee, also alngle, at
tained great prominence. Few men have
become famous as atateaman without
marrying before the end of their ca
reer. President Buchanan waa a
notabla exception.

NO QUARREL ON THAT POINT
Father and Small Daughter In Com.
plate Agreement Concerning
, Claaalflcatlon af Relatives.
There lived with an eminent divine
hit two alatera, Mary and Jan. One
morning ha waa deeply engrossed In a
new treatise he waa preparing, when
hla young daughter waa brought to
blm by her governess.
"I have to report Miss Ellen for a
terrible thing. She called her Aunt
Mary a a a d d fool !" aald the
governess.
"How terrible I" responded the di
vine. "Did you call your Aunt Mary
thla awful thlngT
"No, father. I didn't" faltered the
youngster. "I cslled her a fool but
not a a a d d fool."
"Well, even that la very wicked of
you," he replied, "hut aa you did not
uae that awful adjective I will forgive
you. ' Tou may go." And he returned
to hla writing.
The youngster, however, did not go.
Please, father," she said, presently.
"I didn't call Aunt Mary a d d fool.
I called her a fool. But I I I did
call Aunt Jane a d d fool I"
"Yea, yes!" he mumbled, without
looking up from his work; "I quite
agree. That Is the precise distinction
between them that I usually make my
self !" London Tlt-Blts.
"Pain Polnta."
On every human body there are
four million "pain points" connected
by nerves with tbe brain. They are,
of course, distributed -very unevenly.
They are placed close together at" the
tips of the lingers and are rurtnest
nnrt In the back. Anyone can test
thla for himself. If you will place
two needles one quarter or an men
apart by sticking them Into a piece of
cardboard you will have a very effect
ive Instrument for making tests. Put
your finger on these two points and
you will, of course, feel both of them.
Now apply them to the small of your
hack and yon will feel hut one point.
In other words, the nerve centers In
mir hnctr at this nolnt are more than
a quarter of an Inch apart Boys'
Life.
Flnda Pleasure In Thinking.
Thinking after a while becomes the
most pleasurable thing In the world.
Give me a sstchet and a fishing rod,
and I could hie myself off nnd keep
busy at thinking forever. I don't need
anybody to amuse me. It Is the same
way with my friend. John Burroughs,
the naturalist. We can derive the most
satisfying kind of Joy from thinking
and thinking and thinking.
Tbe man who doesn't make up his
mind to cultivate the habit of think
ing misses the greatest pleasure In
life He not only misses the great
est pleasure, hut he cannot make the
most of himself. Thomas A. Edison.
Beet Eaten for Revenge.
Bees are usually employed as manu
facturers of honey, which Is every
where considered a delicious food, but
there are places where the bees them
selves serve as a food.
The negroes of Guiana, when stung
by a bee, proceed to catch as many as
tftey can and In revenge eat them. It
would be Interesting to know what
happens aa an effect of the sting thus
taken Internally.
In Ceylon the natives hold a torch
under tbe bee swarm hanging to a
tree, cntch them as they drop, then
carry them home, boll them and eat
them. Popular Science' Monthly.

HEAVY BEDDING IS FAVORED
Tenda to Cleanlineaa and Comfort of
Anlmalt and Savea Much of Fer
tilizing Elements.
There are several good reasons for
bedding stock heavily In the winter.
The comfort of the animals and the
cleanliness; tbe saving of valuable
fertilizing elements; and protection of
the feet from the troubles resulting
from either wet manure under foot or
the hard concrete floors where this
material Is used.
Pellagra and Income.
After a three-year study of pellagra
In the eotton-mlll villages of South
Carolina, the United States public
health service shows that pellagra
varies Inversely with the family In
come In this locality. As the Income
fell the disease waa found to Increase
and to affect more members of the
aame family. As the Income rose the
disease decreased, and waa rarely
found In families that enjoyed the
highest Incomes, even though this
highest was still quite low.
A' recent statement givep by one of
the large life Insurance companies In
dicates that the food standards of
Southern wage earners must have Im
proved remarkably of late, for the
death rate from pellagra has fallen
from 6.7 per 100,000 In 1915 to 2.8 In
1919. - ' .
A LITTLE OLD WANT AD
SURE GETS THE RESULTS
Much Gasoline Wasted.
' , About one-third of the gasoline used
In automobiles Is wasted. This Is the
.oneluslon reached by A. C. Fleldner
of tbe United States bureau of mines,
from experiments under tratHc condi
tions to determine the air pollution of
the vehicular tunnels under New York
city. The waste Is chiefly due to too
rich gasollnt mixture. It la estimated
that an Improved and practically au
tomatic carburetor might save Amer
