Old Cottonwood at Norris City, lit.
Has Intarsstlog History—Waa
"Planted by Boy In 1816.
At Norris <1ty, BL. them la a tree
known as the “vaulting pole rollon-
wood" that hns an lnf»*r»-«’tr.g history
which Is told by the American For
estry Magnxtne (Washington) as fol
lows:
llosea tierce end a boy comrade re
tnmsd from the war of 1812 to tbetr
bowra. near Norris flty. In the spring
of IfflA amt on January H of that
year they hut hclt-ed Getiern! Jack-
anti whip the British in the Battle of
New Orleans.
Th*-»»- t*»ivs both nltimded a to«
rolling on the old IM erm farm flint
spring and as they were mt’irnlng tn
the house after their day's wort made
a wag»-r who could vault the furth«'»t.
using their cottonwood handspikes as
vaulting poles. Tlu-y both left their
handspikes sticking In th« soft earth
where they had vaulted, and duHtg:
the spring rains of 1818 they both
took root am! lived.
Otte of these tree« died about ten
years ago. but the other Is still living
This tree I«
amt Is 106 years old
about thirty feet In circumference. 178
feet high, with a very large hollow In
th« ban« of the tree which has been
u«<*d as a housing for setting hens, a
kennel for dogs and Is always a fin»'
play bouse for children.
CLOUDS ARE EARTH'S VEIL
If Been From th« Moon Thay Would
Appear aa Mere Film Separating
th« Earth.
The layer of cloud covering the
earth Is relatively very thin
tf. f**r
example, w« could examine the earth
fr»*tn the moon we would doubtless
see k veil of cloud covering little
more than half th»* surface. At that
distance the Clouds would have no
texture, the »Mirth would appear
swathed In an lrr»-ctilar sheet of
formless up«, through which, from
time tn time, the land and water areas
could lie Been.
The cloud cover of the earth la moot
attenuated; It may be compared to a
film, for It la suppose»! to be lean than
one eight hundredth of the »Mirth's di
ameter In vertical thickness.
Th« thlnnvoe of th« earth's atmos
phere may be m**re clearly com pre-
bended tf we realise that the relative
thlckiiena of the cloud layer on an
eight Inch terrestrial glotw would be
about one-hundredth of an inch. Tet
It Is In this thin belt that clouds form,
ao that It Is seen our weather la pro

congregating in the shiny new garaca.
Where can they conceal the forbidden
weapons, or the thuml»-marked yellow

they hide to escape the starched shirt

As the matter stands, tho Innocent
looking radium dial doe« not seem tn
po«»< aa any extraordinary amount of
cooc-ntratcd energy, but this is only
apparently the case, and not actually
so, for the reason that while the
amount of activity manifested by the
radium |>alnl on the dial is small, this
effort will keep up for 2/s»> years,

Now, tf we could but find a way to
■Hike the radium release all Its energy
in a few hours. Instead of spreading It
over 2.800 years, It would uot be diffi
<ult to make a motor that would util
