NEW USE FOR SCOTCH LAKES
Long Famed In Song, It Is Now Seri
ously Proposed to Develop Their
Water Power.
Scotland Is waking up to the fact
that Its lakes and waterfalls may be
made to serve other purposes than
providing scenic attractions for tour
ists. As proof of this the "Grampian
Electricity bill" has been given a sec
ond reading in the house of commons.
In this a company Is empowered to
collect and use the waters of 15 lochs
and 99 small lakes, rivers, and streams
over an area of 417 square miles.
The waters proposed to be utilized
are estimated to be capable of gen
erating 56,000 horse power to. supply
electricity in the counties of Perth,
Kinross,-and Forfar, and districts In
four other counties. The capital is
placed at 4,500,000 ($22,500,000).
That any of the beautiful lakes and
falls of "Caledonia stern and wild"
should be used to set the wheels of
Industry spinning, many In Scotland
regard, almost as sacrilegious desecra
tion. And that opinion is shared by
not a few Americans who are accus
tomed to visit Scotland annually.
But the promoters declare that the
preservation of the natural beauties
of Scotland Is expressly provided for
by the terms of the bill. And they add
that when the hum of the electrically
driven wheels is heard in the land
and dividends begin to come In, the
cry of "desecration" will be heard no
more. New York Post.

DANGER IN STEEL HORSESHOE
Substitution of Copper, It Is Believed,
Will Lessen Possibility of De
structive Forest Fires.
Copper horseshoes as a means of
preventing forest fires have recently
made their appearance in several of
the national forests of the West, and,
If the plans of certain forestry offi
cials are carried into effects this metal
will supplant steel upon the hoofs of
all horses to be used on public do
mains where there is any measure of
fire hazard.
According to the supervisor of the
Angeles National forest. In southern
California, steel horseshoes used in
flinty mountain regions may have been
the cause of some, of the mysterious
fires that have started in the forest
reserves. Heavy steel horseshoes
striking against flint or hard granite
may readily be the source of sparks,
which, falling into dry grass or other
Inflammable material, would quickly
cause it to burst into flames if fanned
by a breeze.
The new - horseshoes- were given
their first try-out recently In Cala
veras county, California. Popular
Mechanics.
Moth-Proof Wool.
A moth-repellant has been intro
duced in the German market, which, it
is claimed, will positively make the
wool fabric absolutely moth-proof. An
additional advantage of this product,
known as Eulan F, is that It does not
discolor the fabric, so that the wool
can be dyed in bright shades without
any difficulty. The product is a white
powder which does not dissolve very
easily in water. Acid must be added
to make it dissolve. In this condition
it is used in the textile mill, and it is
preferable to put the woolen fabric
through the moth-proofing treatment
in the factory. Another form of the
product is sold for use In the house
hold. In this form the powder will
dissolve very easily in water. The
woolen fabric is then soaked In the
solution and permitted to dry. Only a
1 per cent solution is. required. Eulan
F is now on the market in Germany.
From the Industrial Digest.
Affected. With Myopia.
I am nearsighted, and as a conse
quence often get into embarrassing sit
uations. One in particular greatly
mortified me.
I had started out bravely to sell
books, and it was my first attempt at
salesmanship. As I stepped onto a
shaded porch out of the bright sun
light, I stood for a second waiting,
somewhat dazzled. A diminutive figure
appeared on the opposite side of the
screen door.
Thinking the person a child, I asked :
"Is your mother In?"
Imagine my confusion when I dis
covered the person to be a man about
seventy years of age. Exchange.
Northcliffe Superstitions.
Lord Northcliffe had his supersti
tions. He was inordinately afraid of
the bad luck frequently associated
with 13 persons . at a table. At a
luncheon in his home in London last
snmnier, 13 men sat down, including
some Americans. Suddenly . Lord
Northcliffe exclaimed, in a horrified
voice: "There are 13 at this table.
Every one- get up. We must wait un
til my secretary comes to make 14."
Subsequently Lord Northcliffe gravely
related to one of his guests, an Amer
ican newspaper man, many tragedies
which he said were the result of the
seating of 13 persons at table.
Past and Present,
A New York city official, as the
story is going the rounds, was walk
ing through City Hall park with one
of his commissioners. As they passed
the statue of Nathan Hale, who stands
with his hands behind his back, the
commissioner said:
"Mr. Official, don't you think that
statue of Nathan Hale is a beautiful
piece 'of work?"
"Hale? Nathan Hale?" said the offi
cial In a puzzled tone. "Why,I
thought that was a statue of Hou
dinl !" Argus.
America's Own Day.
Thanksgiving is particularly our
own holiday. It originated here and
no other continent than this has It.
Except for the Thanksgiving days
of the United States and Canada
there is in all the earth no official oc
casion for returning thanks to Provi
dence by the people as a people Irre
spective of sect. Christmas and
New Tear's are celebrated wherever
the cross has found its way; inde
pendence and memorial days are ob
served In many lands; but the only
national Thanksgiving day Is ours.
HOW MANY SEEDS IN POUND?
United States Department of Agricul
ture Makes Count of Number -In
Various Kinds of Grasses.
Counts to determine the relation
between the number of grass seeds to
the pound and the number of pounds
required per acre to assure a good
stand of grass, have been made by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. In general the fine-seeded
grasses require fewer pounds of seed
to the acre than do the coarse-seeded
varieties.
The work of the department shows
that timothy on the average has 1,200,
000 seeds In a pound. Kentucky blue
grass has 2,400,000 and Redtop, 4,000,
000, while Sudan grass has only 50,
000. Orchard grass has 500,000; Can
ada blue grass, 2,700,000; tall meadow
grass, 150,000; meadow fescue, 240,
000; foxtail millet, 200,000; sheep's
fescue, 680,000; red fescue, 500,000
seeds; Italian rye grass, 280,000;
perennial rye grass, 280,000; and Ber
muda grass, 1,800,000.
Timothy usually is seeded at the
rate of 15 pounds to the acre; Ken
tucky blue glass, 14 to 18 pounds;
Redtop, 10 pounds; and Bermuda
grass, 5 pounds. Orchard grass Is
usually sown at the rate of 25 pounds
to the acre; Canada blue grass, 15
pounds; and tall meadow oat grass,
40 pounds. Meadow fescue requires
25 pounds to the acre; foxtail millet,
12 to 25 pounds; sheep's fescue, 28
pounds ; and red fescue, 30 pounds.
Italian rye grass Is sown at the rate
of 30 to 40 pounds per acre; peren
nial rye grass, 30 pounds;" and Sudan
grass, 12 to 25 pounds per acre.
There are some 6,000 distinct spe
cies of cultivated and wild grasses in
the world but only about 20 of these
are of Importance in the United
States. - '
Ancient Bibles.
Many ancient Bibles are owned in
Genesee county, according to reports
coming into Flint, says a dispatch to
the Detroit Free Press.
Rev. George Bedford, pastor of the
Congregational church at Grand
Blanc, claims "to own the oldest one.
It was printed in Oxford, England, in
1825. He has another printed In
Worcester, Mass., in 1797.
Of the many old Bibles in the coun
try, a majority of them are reported
to be well preserved, and are distin
guished from the modern Bible by the
addition of books to be found in them,
such as Esdra, Baruch, Susanna, Maccabees.
EVEREST TOP STILL UNTROD
But British Explorers in Recent At
tempt Got-to Height Never
Previously Attained.
-The highest point above sea level
ever reached by a human being afoot,
27,300 feet, was attained, with the aid
of oxygen-breathing apparatus, ' by
two members of the Mount Everest
expedition at noon, the 27th of last
May, says Henry S. White in the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. This brought
the explorers within 1,702 feet of the
summit, the highest point on the
earth's surface. The final attempt
was to have been made June 6, but
the monsoon broke June 3, definitely
frustrating any further efforts for this
year at least When the monsoon
breaks on Mount Everest, there is no
alternative but to get off the moun
tain as soon as possible.
It has now been definitely proved
that the mountain itself at the highest
point reached is not difficult to climb,
and the two explorers who came so
near, to reaching the actual summit
were able to proceed along the north
face without ropes. The one and only
obstacle that made the summit unat
tainable was the bad weather, , and
with the monsoon left out, It Is cer
tain that the summit will be reached
at the next attempt The two explor
ers who reached this highest point
were Capt. Geoffrey Bruce, one of the
leaders of the expedition, and George
Finch, a scientist attached to It

Rough Men and Robins.
A few days ago a car Inspector,
looking over a coal train at Arkville,
N. T., discovered a bird's nest on the
top of a journal box of an empty car.
Investigation disclosed two baby rob
ins In the nest The orphan birds at
once became the center of attraction
for the yard men and the various train
crews. It was quite evident the young
robins needed parents.
In an effort to find the home of the
young travelers it was learned that
the empty car had been picked up at
West Davenport, 54 miles distant. A
delegation of switchmen, yardmen,
trainmen and other interested persons
immediately waited on the division
superintendent. The car was hooked
on to an engine and taken back to
West Davenport, where it was spotted
In the railroad yard at the exact place
from which it had been taken. The
frantic mother bird found her little
ones and everybody was happy.
