New Motive Power for Barges.

An artillery ofllcer, who hid been a fulrly well known golfer and a keen enthusiast, was looking out across a rolling plain in France that only re cently had been heavily pounded by ahell fire. "I've seen some well trapped courses," be said, "but I must say this Is the best bunkered course I've ever run across. There' pit every 0 feet I'sr here must be about m" Early Egyptian Halrdrssstng. Tbo hulrdrvssiug of early Egyptian times Is Interesting. Wigs were ex ceedingly popular, through many dy nasties, for both men and women. The women, however, In various Instances, were rather more Inclined to let their own hair grow long, arranging It with extreme simplicity by banging fore lock over each aboulder In front and letting the rest bung straight down the back. It appears, from some old statues, that they occasionally Inter wove beads or some sort of a pendunt with these front locks, which doubt less helped keep them In place. Then, too, they sometimes wore a sort of filet, a device perhups borrowed from the Greeks. More eluborute head dresses were also Indulged In. Some statues show strange almost conical affairs upon the heads, which archaeol ogists suy contained bulls wet with some fragrant oil which trickled slow ly through the hnlr and over the neck and shoulders. Perfumes were said to bo extremely popular among these early people. Letter .heads t tun l!l plt-ano m. a: the Courier. ANTING' THAT EASES WE DO' TR CHANTS PASS Painting the Salmon'. ' ' Bed Is the preferred color for sal mop. flesh. It Is the "dog" salmon's misfortune to have raeut of a dirty grayish hue, so that It Is almost un marketable.' Itecnntly, however, a flsh dealer In Ilostou made a delightful discovery. It was thut somo sulmon-colored paint (which ha buppened to be using for painting a truck) would transform a dog salmon offhand Into a fish of the most expensive variety. The way It worked was really innrknble. It appears thut the stuff was a coal-tar product, sand when freely applied with a brush so satu rated the meat with dye as to.gtv It a fine sulmon-red tint clear through. Unfortunately, the local health au thorities, lucking appreciation of the fine arts, seized the fuh and 'the paint and shut up the studio. , . , .. . , Arctlo Cold. Beards do not freeze except where the moisture from the breath Is con verted Into snow; but the color glands are rendered somewhat torpid by the cold, and dork beards gradually become lighter, until after a while they aeem entirely changed In color. Another curious fact aboflt the cold of the Arctic regions Is that when a person stops walking or working In any way whereby the feet get exer-. else, the sole of the foot loses all sense of feeling. In all extremely cold lunds, the moisture exhaled from the body con denses Into small, hard crystals which make quite a bit of noise as one walks about Nitrogen From Atmosphere. There has been erected ut the Unit ed States department of agriculture's experiment farm at Arlington Vs., the, largest experimental plant In the Unit ed States for the production of nitro gen from air. The nitrogen so pro duced is combined with hydrogen to form ammonia, which can be used, In the manufacture of exploKlves and fer tilizer. Exierliiieiits with the view of liicreiiNliig the efficiency of the proc ess lire now being conducted by the bqreau of soils. The llabcr process of manufacturing nitrogen is being em ployed. This process Involves the pro duction of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. The two gue are mix ed In the proper proportion, put under high pressure and subjected to Intense heat. They are then pawed over a spongy trou, whereupon a portion of the mixture combines to form ammonia. DAILY COURIER "LATIN QUARTER" OF TOKYO All Kinds of Schools and Colleges for the Seeker of Knowledge to Be Found There. Tokyo, considered the educational center of the country, vibrates with student life. In addition to Its Im perial university, there are two lsrge private universities with over 12,000 students, various technical schools, commercial schools, normal colleges, high schools, middle schools, a foreign language school, Buddhist and mission ary schools and 234 primary schools, Gertrude, Emerson writes In Asia Magazine. Tlie presence of thousands of young students from distant parts of the country who have answered the lure of the capital has brought about a curious bousing problem. Many schools provide their own dormitories ; most of the provinces support one, and certain pbllunthroplc persons make contributions. The greater number of these Tokyo dormitories and boarding houses are located In the quarter of Kanda, or the "Latin Quarter," as the students themselves euphemistically call It Jlmbo Cho, the principal thor oughfare, with its rows and rows of little open-faced second-hand book shops catering to the -promiscuous stu dent taste, almost rivals the Quais of Paris. A tour of Inspection will throw an Interesting side light on young Japan's mental furniture. There la Invariably a section devoted to foreign books, most English translations of such writers as Maupassant, Zola, Baudelaire, Maeterlinck, and the Rus sians; Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, Shaw and. by the way of showing the open mind ed ness of the age, Schopenhauer and Conan Doyle very frequently side by J aide on the same shelf. Then there re volumes of theology and Innumer able "Self Helps to I'ructlcul English." It is a curious, indigestible. 111 assort ed mass of literary material this that the Japanese student avidly swal lows, like a prescribed dose, convinced that with one gulp he will become mas ter of all Western wisdom. DEMAND FOR HOLY PLACES So Long as Religion Exists There Must Be Spots Devoted by Men to Veneration. As long sb religion exists men will look for its holy places. If they do not find Its sanctuaries ready at hand in the natural features of the country In which they live, or If they are not pro Tided with places consecrated by the history of the past, they will make them for themselves In their churches and their shrines. Men need some special place where they can kuow that they are In the Divine presence and can offer their homage before his throne. The places of men's veneration are frequently Im pressive ead beautiful, but, on' the other band, they may be the 'barest buldlngs, haviug nothing of grace or beauty to please the eye. Yet the meanest building becomes ablaze with Divlue glory to those who have met God within its walls. And where gen eration after generation of men, each In its turn, has bent in reverence to worship, or to listen In faith to the word of the most high In warning, en couragement or comfort as they most need, they have dedicated holy places with a reverence due to the honor of God and the memory of his people. London Times. ( The Ancient Quipu. The quipu reached Its most elaborate form among the Peruvians, from whose language the terra "quipu," meaning "knot," Is borrowed. It consists of a main cord, to which are fastened at given distances thinner cords of dif ferent colors, each cord being knotted In divers ways for special purposes, and each color having Its own slgntU cance. Ued strands stood for soldiers, yellow for gold, white for silver, green for corn, and so forth, while a single knot meant ten, two knots meant twen ty, double knots two hundred. Such simple devices served manifold pur poses. Besides their convenience In reckoning, they were used for keeping the annals of the empire of the Ihcas; for transmitting orders to outlying provinces ; for registering details of the army., Individuality In Groves. To many people a grove la a grove. and. all groves are alike.- There Is as mu:!;d a difference between different forests as between different communi ties.' A grove of plries i vrlthout un derbrush, carpeted With 'the fine-fingered russet' leaves of the pine, and odorous of resinous gums, has scarce-' ly a 'trace of likeness to : a maple woods, either In the Insects, the birds, the shrubs, the light and shade, or the sound of Its leaves. . . .
