ALWAYS THE SAME OLD HUN
Nation Continue! to Dream of Vlctort
oua War, In the Face of In
glorloua Defeat
The ritm never changes. We read In
welMnformed magiutlncs everywhere
that Oorniany. unlike any other nation
participating In the great war, refuses
to forget the war. While In Amer
ica, In I'.rltaln. In Frnnce and Italy,
the chief desire Is to turn full atten
tion to the thlnt's of pence and to blot
out war memories, In Hunlnnd the con
verse Is true, declares tho American
Legion Weekly.
The astounding snle of books dealing
with military phases of tho war and
the military lessons taught by the war
continues throughout Germany. Ger
mans, old and young, are rending what
Von Illndcnhurg and Von Kluck and
Von Sanders think of even the ml
nutest details of strategy and tactics.
Clubs have been formed for the study
of military questions, and newspapers
are full of articles explaining Just why
Germany failed, and Just how she
could have done better. Some stupid
persons wonder If this does not mean
"Just how she can do bettor next
time!"
"One would expect the reverse look
for a national revulsion of feeling on
the part of beaten Germany leading
them to abjure war talk and turn their
thoughts elsewhere. But Ileinie can

BURIED 30 YEARS IN A TREE
Telegraph Bracket Completely , In.
cloaed In Wood Is Found In
California.
Thirty-six yeara ago a telegraph
bracket and Insulator was nailed to a
Douglas fir tree near Areata, Cal. A
few yt!Hr later a falling branch bndiy
damaged It and the wire which It had
been aupportlng was removed. The
tree wag growing thriftily, adding
every summer to Ita diameter a new
layer of woody material, and this
growth gradually pushed out around
tho bracket on all Hides, leaving It bur
led In the tree trunk.
At tho end of 20 years the tip of the
glass Insulator finally disappeared
from sight and tho only trace of It that
could still be seen was a scarcely no
ticeable lump which looked like noth
ing more than a healed-over branch
stub. A few weeks ago the tree was
felled and tho wood manufactured Into
barrel staves. The screech of the saw
which happened to graze the edge of
tho glass culled attention to this un
usual "fossIL"
On splitting open the stuve bolt tho
whole story became clear In all its de
tails. The clearly defined annual rings
of the rapidly growing trees form an
unimpeachable historical record.
The wood of the Insulator bracket
Is still In good condition and tho ouk
of which It was made has rece'ved nn

TURKS TURN DOWN BUTTONS
Refuse to Use Them Because They
Are Made From Bones of Dogs
That Formerly Roamed Streets.
When I was In Constantinople 1
mode friends with several of the pa
riah dogs that roved ths streets, and
though they had their drawbacks It
always seemed to me that they were
likable beasts, and not so great a nui
sance as one would suppose they must
be. I wns therefore genuinely sorry
when I learned that the remorseless
march of progress had led to the de
termination to get rid of them. You
will remember that the por dogs
were shipped off to various Islands and
there left to die, because the Turk
would not transgress against his re
ligion by killing them outright That
was five or six yenrs ago and appar
ently the unhappy dogs all met their
inevitable fate. Today numbers of
Russian refugees are housed on the
Islands which were formerly the dogs'
prison, and the American Red Cross
authorities, who are caring for these
particular refugees, have set their pro
tegees to work at making buttons from
the dogs' bones. I am not altogether
surprised to learn that the Turks will
not buy the buttons. Near East

HAS ADMIRATION OF WORLD
Capitol at Washington Recognized As
the Flneat and Noblest Building
on tha Earth.
Tonndatlona for tha central struc
ture of the present capltol In Washing
ton were finished on August 24. 1818.
The old rnpltol bad only two wings,
connected by a covered wooden bridge,
which was destroyed and the wings
dnmnged by the British, who set Are to
the building In 1814. Three years la
ter congress voted to remove tbe wings
and build tbe new central structure,
which, with its dome was completed In
1820.
The two great marble extension
wings Id which the senate and house
of representatives meet were begun hi
1851 and completed for occupancy in
185U. The old dome, made of wood
and brick, wns torn away In 18.15, and
the present dome completed In 1804.
The great statue of the goddess of
freedom, which rests upon the dome,
was designed by Thomas Crawford,
father of Marlon Crawford, novelist.
Charles Bulflnch of Boston was the
architect of the original central struc
ture and Thomas U. Walter designed
the marble extensions and the present
dome. He was a Phllndelphtan.
The total cost of tbe present capltol
was about $10,000,000, and It has been
pronounced by architectural authori
ties, both In America and Europe, to be
the greatest and noblest building in the
world. Chicago Journal.
KNOWS NOW HOW IT FEELS
Dentist, Given Emergency Toothache
Treatment, Dreade Further Ordeal
of a Session In the Chair.
A hnL'iznrd-faefid man rushed Into
the Park Emergency hospital shortly
after 3 o'clock a few mornings ago.
"For the love of mud will you tfive
me somethlnz to stoD a ravins tooth
ache? It's had me up all night, and
I've tried everything." he moaned to
the steward in attendance.
The steward made the naln-rldden
patient comfortablei In a chair and
then applied soothing remedies to the
offending molar.
"Why. the pain's gone," the patient
exclaimed after a while.
"Well, that tooth won't bother you
anv more for a while, but you had bet
ter see a dentist In the morning," said
the steward.
"Guess I'll have to," said the patleut
plnnmllv.
"Evervbodv hates to go to a aenust,
. .....
remarked the steward. "Will you give
me your name for our records?"
"Yes." sold the patient "l am ur.
A Karageorge."
"Are you a physician?" asked the
steward.
"No, I'm a dentist," smiled the pa
tient "I have cured scores ana scores
of aching teeth, but this one of mine
sure unnerved me. Guess Til have to
go to a dentist In the morning. Gee, I
hate to." San Francisco Chronicle.
Hearing of Butterflies.
The. hearing of certain butterflies,
the moths and the spiders has been a
subject of much study by F. Eggers,
whose results have been reported In
a Berlin zoological annual. The seat
of hearing Is found to be the "tym
panal organ" of tbe last ring , of the
thorax. The alr-fllled vesicle or
bladder of this organ adjoins two very
thin spots In the external chltin, and
one of these Is tho true drumhead,
connected with a nerve strand having
two sensory cells, while the other, the
so-called opposite drumhead, seemsi
to serve as a sounding board to re
ta vihrnMons. Experiments with
crickets have shown that the chirping
of the male Is heard only by females
having the tympanal organ Intact The
organ of the butterflies, wnicn is mure
sensitive, cannot be tested in the same
way, bat response has Deen naa to i
very high, shrill tones, sucH as that
made by rubbing a cork against a wet
glass, and In one species to a clutter
ing sound made by the wings of the
male. Butterflies flying by day seem
to have hearing organs more generally
than those that are active at night
Snaps Eruption Ten Yard Away.
An unnerving but fruitful Incident
occurred recently as the volcano of
Kllauea. H. I., described as the most
continuously active In the world, was
being examined by scientists of the
Hawaiian Volcano Research associa
tion. At the climax of this expedi
tion they had determined to photo
erapb a towering crag of solidified
Tuva that rises, Glb.raltarllke, from
. cnroinnir. overcrusted
lava lake, declares an illustrated ar
ticle in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
But at the Instant the cameraman was
squeezing the bulb, an explosion with
in the uneasy mass threw Into the air,
not ten yards from, the party, and di
rectly before the lens of the camera,
a tumbling mass of white hot lava.
Crashing back, and so breaking the
surface crust these erupted fragments
roused tbe entire lake Into a "seeth
tog bellowing mass of fountains.
The Whitewashes
Representative Frear was talking
about a committee with a notorious
record for whitewashing.
"That committee," he said, "ought
to go out to IiOS Angeles and start

They'd certainly have a grand sue

"Why?" asked the puzzled report

"if stands to reason they'd have

HAD QUEER MENTAL STREAK
Stories Told of Oliver Cromwell Would
Lead One to Doubt Hla Com
plete 8anlty.
If . Oliver Cromwell hart Uved in
these days a committee of alienists
doubtless would have Investigated hla
eanlty before now. For the Protector
had a most abnormal streak In hla
mental make-up. Fancy a man that
could sign the death warrant of a
king and then turn and spatter the
Ink from hla pen Into the face of a
friend. In hla youth taverns were tbe
chief resort of Cromwell. Bis ruu
and boisterous behavior early es
tranged blm from bis equals and be
came to associate with a class beneath
him. For he could brook no Interfer
ence or contradiction. The matter of
the acore at tbe Inns where he
caroused concerned him very tittle;
the bills frequently went unpaid and
he became extremely unpopular, with
the alewlvea of Huntingdon who, when
they saw him coming, would lock the
doors to keep out the noisy bully. So
Oliver turned out to be a wild and dis
sipated youth. The same Incorrigible
spirit ran throughout his life. It led
him to encourage his soldiers to play
practical Jokes upon each other, such
as puttlDg hot coals In tbe otber fel
low's boots. At tbe marriage of his
daughter tn 1057 to Rich, the Protect
or threw sarte posset among the larinn
to soil their rich clothes, which they
took as n favor from him, strange as It
may seern. And le put sticky candy
upon the chairs where his guests were
to sit nnd pulled off his son-ln-law's
peruke, pretended to throw It Into the
fire, and ended by sitting on It Phil
adelphia Record.
OBJECT TO MENIAL DUTIES
Reason That Is Assigned for the Pres.
ent Scarcity of Trained Nursea
In Hospitals.
The full utility of many hospitals ts
now Impaired by a lack of nurses
writes "Glrard" in the Philadelphia
Press. .
Howard Butler, Jr., Is trustee of an
Important hospital here and he tells
me they need 30 per cent more nurses
than they can get
"Why are nurses so scarce?" I
asked. '
"I presume," answered Mr. Butcher,
whose business, as you know, Is that
of a banker and broker, "it Is- because
girls think they can earn more money
In an easier way In some other occu
pation."
I have talked with doctors of wide
hnnnitnl ejmerlence about It and they
say that the old practice of making i
girls In training for nurses do drud-
gery for a year or so has prevented
many young women from entering the
profession.
"What good," said one great sur
geon, "did It do to a nurse's skill to
make her scrub floors or wash win
dows? As well make medical students
polish shoes, keep up the furnace fires
and sweep out the lecture rooms."
Another physician of long experi
ence and who is connected with a big
hospital, added:
"The hospitals will be obliged to cut
out the manual labor for training
nurses and will probably reduce the
years of training, or the country will
go back to the conditions when It had
few or no trained nurses."
He Made Eugenfe Weep.
An old singer living In England, M.
L. Albanl Gye, recalls an Incident
which Indicates how heavily the late
Empress Eugenie bore her many sor
rows. "Many years ago I used Jo take my
holiday on Deeslde." he writes the Dal
ly Telegraph, "and once at least every
season, was called to Balmoral to sing
before Queen Victoria. On one of these
occasions the empress, who was on a
visit at the castle, came with the
oueen to hear me. I believe that she
had not heard any music since the
ria tti nf the emneror. and I had scarce-
y finished my first song when she
burst out crying, me queen, on seems

Gardens of Ashes.
The town of Sheepshead Bay some
years ago entered into an arrange
ment with the borougn or tsrooiuyn
nrtiorphv the contents of all the BrooK
lyn ash barrels were delivered for the
filling ta of a great swamp.
Tha .fnse. reaching Sheepshead
Bay In large metal tanks, was carried
out Into the swamp by specially con
structed trolleys and dumped. In this
way some hundreds of acres were con
verted Into dry land.
The refuse contained so much vege
table and animal matter that almost
Immediately grass and sunflowers be
gan to grow on the surface of the ma
terial, and by the end of the second
year thrifty Italians had planted most
of the area with cabbage and other
vegetables. The ash dump became a
truck garden.
Timber From Dead Trees.
Some prejudice exists against the
use of timber "cut from dead trees,
says the American Forestry Maga
zine. As a matter of fact when sound
dead trees are sawed Into lumber, and
the weathered or charred outside Is
cut away, there is no method known
to the forest products laboratory by
which the lumber can be distinguished
from that cut from live trees, except
that the lumber from dead trees may
be partly seasoned when sawed.

BUTTONS FROM OUR RIVERS
Pearl Mussel Fisheries Are a Flourish
ing and Very Interesting
Industry.
Tt should be remeujbered (hat In ad
dition to their food value fishes are
necessary In our rivers If we are to
perpetuate the pearl button Industry
of the country, which employs some
twenty thousand people and yields a
product valued at more than $5,000,
000. When the young mussels, which are
of microscopic aire, are thrown off
from the brood pouches of their par
ents at the proper season, the larval
mussels slowly drift to the bottom and
perish In a few days' time unless they
come In contact with a passing fish
of suitable kind and succeed in mak
ing attachment Once this attach
ment Is made, the tissue of the flsb
growe over the little mussel, until it
has undergone a remarkable change
of form and structure; then it drops
from the fish to commence Its inde
pendent life at the bottom o the ,
stream or lake.
It is a further fact that the young
of particular kinds of mussels require
the gills of particular kinds of fishes
as nurseries. The block bnss is host
for several sorts of mussels, while the
klpjnek. a kind of herring, Is the only
known host for the best of all mussels.
As this last mentioned fish Is far
from being abundant In American riv
ers. It Is plain that much care should
be exercised In Its maintenance.
The mussel fishery that supplies the
fresh water pearl button Industry Is
actively conducted in at least twenty
states 'in the Mississippi rived basin,
the raw production of shells now has
a value of about $1,000,000. The fresh
water pearl button Is now recognized
as among the cheapest durable but
tons that can be procured. The mas
cot hPrta have been rapidly depleted.
chiefly because the fishermen in past
years would retain only the very best
shells and discard as culls all shells
that were of an Inferior grade.
Necessary action In the way of gov
ernment legislation to protect the
mussel fisheries has been so long de
layed that this unique and rather
Important Industry Is now sure to ex
perience considerable difficulty in per
petuating Itself. Floyd W. Parsons,
