Tlie Gprman Kovcrninent's wireless station at N'auen was opener with
elaborate ceremonies recently. Tlie station is tlie larnest in the world, and
has power to send messages nearly half way round the globe. The photo
graph shows one of the power generating rooms.
Spines of Porcupine.
Tlie spines of a porcupine, in the
usual position, lie nearly flat, with
their points directed backward, but
when the animal Is excited they are
capable of being raised. The quills
are loosely Inserted in the skin and
may, on being violently shaken, be
come detached, n circumstance which
probably gave rise to the purely fabu
lous statement that the animal pos
sesses the power of actually ejecting
Its lining like arrows or darts at an
enemy.
Gasoline as an Insecticide.
It Is stated upon the authority of no
less learned a body than the bureau of
biological survey that all Insects ob
tain their oxygen supplies through
small holes in their bodies. When such
an oily substance as gasoline comes
Into contact with the pests the sources
of their oxygen supply are closed, and,
lacking breath, they uatuntlly die in a
short time.
Pronunciation of Z.
The pronunciation of the letter Z
as r.ee Is an Americanism. The Eng
lish pronunciation Is 7.ed. from the Old
French rede, which In turn Is de
tIvimI from the Latin reta, the name
of the sixth letter of the tlreek al
phabet, corresponding to the English
red. Khakespenre In King txar, net II,
Rcene 2, gives the English pronuncia
tion, which Is still In vogue: "Zed I
thou unnecessary letter."
Philippine Forests.
The forests of the I'liillpplnes nf.
ford the greatest variety of wood In
the world. Some of the hard woods
are unexcelled for beauty anil dura
bility and a big trade Is developing
In exporting the timber to the United
States.
Eaypttan Mummy Cloth,
The extraordinary durability of the
ancient Egyptian mummy cloth Is be
lieved to he due to the fact that It was
finished with a vegetable glue derived
from the African locust-henn tree.

Hard Substance Is Needed to With
stand the Constant Friction Which
Wears Away Moving Parts.
The principal reason for the deteri
oration of any piece of machinery is
because- the constant friction wer.rs
away tlie moving parts and Interferes
with tl.e regularity of the mechanism.
A wnti-h. being a machine in which
absolute uniformity of speed is essen
tial, It is necessary to reduce this
friction to a minimum either thwugh
constant oiling, the use of ball bear
ings or some very hard material which
will withstand the wear and tear of
constant friction. The first two of
these methods are not feasible in so
small a piece nf machinery as a
watrh, so certain very hard jewels are
placed at various points to counteract
the rubbing caused by the moving
parts.
Watches are generally equipped
with 7, 1", 17, IS, 21 or 23 jew
els, the 15 and 17-jewel types being
the most popular. Intrinsically, the
jewels used In tlie manufacture of
watches are of little value, but from
the standpoint of service and the spe
cific purpose which they serve they are
Invaluable. The jewels usually used
In watchmaking are the hardest of
the precious stones, diamonds, sap
phires and rubles, and of these the
most generally used is the sapphire,
which combines hardness with com
paratively reasonable price.
POWER IN RADIUM WATCH
Owner of Radiolite Timepiece Is Also
Possessor of Vast Power
Piant.
The possessor of a radiolite watch
or one having a radium dial by which
the time can be detected at night. Is
nlso the possessor of n vast power
plant of no, mean proportions, accord
ing to a writer In the Electrical Ex
perimenter. There Is sutiicient radium
on vour watch to haul your train
home If It could bo properly applied,
says this author.
As the matter stands, the innocent
looking radium dial does not seem to
possess any extraordinary amount of
concentrated 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 paint on the dial is small, this
effect will keep up for 2,500 years,
provided the zinc sulphide, with which
the radium Is mixed so ns to produce
a glow, holds out that long. The zinc
sulphide In most cases gives out in
about eight to ten years.
ow. If we could but find n way to
:a!to the radium release all Its energy
fn a few hours. Instead of spreading It
over 2.o(H) years. It would not he dlffl
(tilt to make a motor that would util
ize this cilery.
Seeing Through Other's Eyes.
We all have our natural tendency to
ward a bias of one surt or another.
When we see through other's eyes we
nlo' add their bias to our own. There
Is a possibility that one bias will eoun-
I ternct the other. If so It Is well. It
I Is also possible that one bias will add
; very greatly to anoiher. Then what an
I unfair verdict you unit render. Poor
I Judgment is hure to follow and shame
' will lay at your door before you dream
It possible. Yet niont of tis are to more
or less extent gull'y of the habit. It'i
so oay to take our start from where
others leave off. We ore compromised
to the extent that we lean on their
judgments. It Uu't fu'r und often
lead to sorrow.
lon't make too much fun of the
other fellow's glaei. lie may be bad
ly biased, but then you have no mean
of knowing how )ou n,k In his eyes.
We lire all inure or less Influenced !
- our heredity and environment. So the
' wise thing Is lo get nil the fncU hm
