Chinese Led In Canals It is said the Chinese understood canal building at a very early period. They are believed to have been the first to Invent locks to raise vessels from one water level to another. Evi dently canal locks were In operation in China at least 1,000 years before the Christian era. In Europe there is doubt whether it was the Dutch or the Italians who first used locks on canals. When Greek Meet Greek The phrase, "When Greek Meets Greek," when equal and great forces compete (a hard contest Is to be ex pected), is derived from lines' In Na thaniel Lee's "Alexander the Great," "When Greeks Joined Greeks, then was the tug of war," an allusion to the contest between the Greek states and Philip and Alexander of Macedon, 157-355 B. C Literary Digest His Skirt Not Too Clean The owner of a wireless Installation was annoyed by the behavior of some boys of the neighborhood who discon nected his aerial. He wrote indig nantly to the teacher of the school the culprits attended to complain of their conduct and to demand their punish ment "I would prosecute them," he wrote, "only I haven't got a license for my wireless." Csre of Umbrella With a little care umbrellas will wear much longer. If ribs are oiled at the joints, they will not nut and break oft. The oil should be applied carefully with a toothpick or a broom straw to prevent it from getting on the material which covers the um brella. Wet umbrellas should be left open until completely dry to avoid cutting and discoloring. Baffling Burglar As a protection against burglars, an English bank has fitted Its safety vault with a periscope through which a po liceman on his rounds is enabled to view the interior of the vault from the outside of the bank building. The Happy Girls Girls are cheerful things. We evolved this gem of thought by watch ing three of them perfectly content ed, under one umbrella. Louisville Courier-Journal.

((TT ISN'T really a trick ''ala'iI I said the dentist to his patient, JL the drummer, "though I dont understand it myself, to tetl the truth. It's a marvelous faculty possessed by a friend of mine for knowing what's going on in a place, though he may not be personally pres ent or hav any means of communi cation. You can lay out here on the table an entire pack of cards, face up, and touch any one of the fifty-two. Then step to the telephone and call up my friend, and he'll tell you what card you have touched." "Impossible." said the patient "I'd bet aluiost anything that it can't be done. It might be worked if you did the telephoning, and had some com bination of words, or code of signals to nse in talking to your friend, from which he could tell what card had been picked out But If I do the tele phoningwhy, I'd wager a ten-spot he couldn't tell the card." "Done," said the dentist He produced a pack of cards and handed them to the drummer, who shuffled them thoroughly and laid them out face up, in four rows of thir teen card each. At the dentist's re quest the drummer touched one, that chanced to be the ten-spot of dia monds. "Now," said the dentist, "step to the "phone, call 309 Certlandt ask for my friend, tell him that you're at my office and hare touched a card, and ask him what card you touched." The drummer did aa directed, and after a moment's pause the words came over the wire, "That was the ten of diamonds you picked out The money was the dentist'. The loser pressed blra for an expla nation of the trick, for trick he be lieved It to be, but the dentist Insisted that he was aa much In the dark as the drummer, who thereupon left the office. "There's a catch somewhere," said he to his friend the credit man, to whom he related his experience, "and I'd give another ten-dollar bin to know Just where." "Well." said the credit man, "I'm not averse to making a tenner or two myself, and being forewarned, I think I can detect his little game for it must be a game, a you say. Suppose I drop around to see yonr dentist friend this afternoon? I have a little Oiling that might just a well b done now a any other time. He'll likely get talking card with me I'll iteer him on to it if he doesn't I'll make a little wager with him myself, and watch him closely, and perhaps I'll see the game before It 1 really worked, and be able to catch him in the act You said it was worth ten to you to know how it wa don. If I meet you her at six and tell you how, is that tenner miner It la," exclaimed the drummer, "provided, of course, you do not get the secret by persuading the doctor to tell you and as for that I'll trust to your honor." "Done," was the reply, and they went their respective way. Six o'clock came, and they met la the dining room. "Well," began the credit man, "you're stung and so am L I went through practically the same experi ence that yon did picked out the ace of spades, and the dentist' friend promptly told m the card I had touched. I watched the man carefully during the whole proceedings. While I wa getting 309 Cortlandt he paid no attention to me at all, but contin ued to read la a book be had picked up but a moment before I selected my card." "If certainly most mysterious af fair all the way through," wis the drummer reply, "and I'd give any thing to know Just hoar it was worked." The two men did not meet again for nearly year, when they ran across one another on lower Fifth avenue one day, and stopped to chat, and the credit man remarked: "By tb way, do you remember how we two got fooled on that card game of your dentist friend' last yesr? That Ransome, who worked with him, must be a pretty slick one. I'd like to look the doctor up and ask him to introduce me to the fellow." "Ransomer exclaimed the other; "I don't remember that the name was Ransome. My memory isn't very good a to that part of the occurrence, but it strikes m It wa more like Ram ay." "No, I'm pretty sore It was Ran some," was the reply, "but of course I may be mistaken. Ramsay or Ran some, however, he was a pretty clever fellow, and we were neatly don, both of us. Lunch with me on th strength of it" Accordingly they adjourned to a nearby cafe and were selecting from the dinner card when the telephone bell behind them rang. "Yes. This is Cortlandt 800," they beard th head waiter say. They pricked up their ear on th Instant That wa the very number the dentist had used In hi card game. The head waiter waited a minute. "Yes, this Is Mr. Roberts talking to you now," he said. Then came another pause, and then, "That curd you touched was th king of club. Yes, th king. Good-by," and he at'ouce hung up fliVreccTver. "Excuse me," siild the drummer, na the man turned from the phone, "but that' a queer conversation to have over a telephone. Here' the price of a good dlnuer for you If you will tell u the game." , The head waiter hesitated a mo ment, and then, accepting the prof fered bill, replied: "If the greatest ever. I've a friend round In Twenty-third street who's a dentist. He gets a customer talking about tricks with curds, and tells him he ha a friend who can tell what card i touched In a pack lu,td out face up, without being present at all, Just by being called up on the phone and told that a card has been picked out The customer gets excited about it and nine time out of ten offers to bet it can't be done. If he doesu't make the offer himself my friend does, and it' mighty leUlom thut he taut taken up. The guy lays out the paste boards, touches one, and then calls me up, and I tell him what card's been touched every time. We Knock out a hundred or more some weeks, for the doc ha a big practice most ly among iportlug men and other gent that think they know a good thing when they lee It I tell you, It' the greatest thing ever. 'Kojv money la no name for It" "But" ald th credit man, "I don't see It yet How can you tell from here what card's been touched T "Easy," was the reply, "I have a little book here you can see It hang ing by the phone, and If you'd been watching me, you would have noticed that I looked In It before telling what the card was. The doctor has the same thing pasted In the middle of his engagement book. It' a list of th fifty-two card In the pack, and opposite the name of each card Is the name of some person the same namea In his list as in mine, in th same order. "8nppoe the guy touches the Queen of Hearts. Doc looks In the book that' easy, because he has opened It a moment before maybe to put down another engagement for the patient, for all he know. Opposite the words Queen of Heart' Is written the nam 'Jackson.' Doc says, "Call up 309 Cortlandt and ask for Mr. Jack son." Th fellow doe aa I answer the phone, look for Jackson tn my list there' the Queen of Hearts oppo site. "Too touched the Queen of Heart," say I and th money' our. "ClnchT Well, I should rather ssy. It' almost a shame to tak the money." "It Is, indeed," said credit looking sadly at drummer. "Sham Isn't the word," said drum mer to credit "Have a cigar on the house, gentsT said the head waiter. Common Houte Moutt Lifts Voice in Song A musical mouse Is th astonishing animal described by Dr. Edwin B. Power of the University of Nebraska In the Journal of Mammalogy. Dr. IL A. Morgan, a friend of his, wa bothered for three nr four night last spring by a singing noise which for a time waa attributed to a leaky radia tor valve. Doctor Morgan began to search for the source of the noise and found that It was not coming from the radiator, but from a waste paper bas ket Upon shaking the basket a mouse ran out and Doctor Morgan gave chase. The mouse ran into a small room from which there wa no escape. A aooa as the chase was (topped, th moos would sit up on Its haunches and ling, the ilnglng approximating th nola made by the cricket, but much more continuous. For lo or IS minutes before the mouse was rap tured it waa In open space and under constant observation: jind every tlm It came to rest this singing took plnce, even under the excitement of the cbase. The mouse wa turned over to a naturalist who Identified It as th common variety of house mouse. Famou Chalk Carving There is no carving anywhere In England similar to that on Ston mountain or with anything like the de tail of the American enterprise. The most noted memorial of this kind In Great Britain Is a white hse, which I carved in the chalk cliff of the, Berkshire mountain. Thl carving pic-j tures a white horse galloping. The bone Is 874 feet long and the carving covers two acre of apace. The origin I I In doubt Th tradition 1 that It' commemorate th victory of Klngj Ethelred and hi brother Alfred (nfter-l ward Alfred the Great) over the Dane at Alhdown, 871, near White Horse hill. The preservation of the memorial 1 due to a ceremony of "the scouring of th white horse," In which the vll- lagers and townspeople assemble to' clean out the trench. Interesting men-1 lion oi wis ceremony, wnicn occurred Isst In 1857, wa written by Thomas Hughe. War That Mad Hirtory The Peloponneslan war was the fa mous struggle between Athens and Sparta, with their respective allies, for the control of Oreece. The war lasted 27 years, or from 431 to 404 B. 0 and resulted In the complete over throw of the Athenian ascendancy. After several crushing defeats on land and sea, the Athenluns surrendered their city and the war came to an end. Three reasons were given for th de feat of Athens, the early deuth - of Perlclesh; the foolish attempt of Ath ens to conquer Sicily) and th accept ance of Persian gold by Sparta. The history of th war wa told by Tbucydldes. Kansas City Star, GREEN FEED IS OF . GREAT IMPORTANCE Green feed Is fully as Important as either scratch grain or dry mash, and comparatively few farmers feed green food as It should be fed. A truly successful poiiltrymun regards green feed as Important as mash, scratch grains nr water, and sees to It that his birds are supplied dally with green feed In some succulent form. Sprouted outs are most deslr able where It la convenient to sprout them. The outs should be snaked In warm water for 24 hours, then spread In shallow trays, boxes, or pans, and kept at a temperature of from 00 to 80 degrees until the stem sprout of the oat Is between one-half and three-quarters of an Inch In length. At that stuge, the oats carry the greatest amount of food value and succulence. It should be remembered that the green feed Is fed for succu lence and not neceasurlly for green color. If It I not convenient to sprout oats, any root crop may be substi tuted. Mangels, sugar beets, or raw potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, any good root crop, fed raw, Is satis factory green feed. When cooked, however, they are still good feed, but have lost their value aa green feeds. In feeding root crops, the roots should be chopped and fed In trough or hopper so that all th bird have access to them, says a writer in th Michigan Farmer. Where root crop are not obtainable, squash or pumpkin chopped, or apples, may prove satisfactory. Alfalfa that '.m been steamed or soaked, Is better than nothing, but, at best, a rather poor substitute for a good succulent green feed. The birds should be fed at least once er day all af the green feed. In some form or other, that they will clean up. Mark the Nonlayer to Avoid Use as Breeders It is very Important for the proper development of tti pullets that they be separated from th old birds. Par ticularly I thl tru for lute hatched nd Immature pullet. Remember that much mssh Is need ed for production, but that ample grain must be fed to give the birds protec tion from the cold. Some form of artificial lighting to offset the short days psys well when used on these pullets. A gssntlne lan tern may be used If electric llglita are not available. The evening lunch method I the simplest where the lan tern la nsed. Feed the birds grain aa usual before they go to roost Light the lanterns at eight o'clock and feed more grain, all they will clean up again. Turn the lights off at nine o'clock. Late pullet which are not grown by December might a well b used for food and feed saved on them. Fully grown pullets which are not lay ing should molt late next yesr and be used for breeders If they are not marked. If the pullet are not laying 40 per cent or better now, there la something wrong. See that there Is a good mash, well protected house and ptenty of green feed. O. C Krum, Poultry Extension Specialist Colorado Agricul tural College. Entertain All Visitors Outside Poultry House "Entertain your visitors outside of th poultry house," I the word sent to farmer by th Ohio Stat univer sity. Chlckenpnx and other poultry dis eases are often spread by people trav eling from farm to farm, the univer sity poultrymen explain. And with eggs at present prices, they add, It is wise to avoid all chance of letting dlaease get a start In the flock. "Chlckenpnx, roup and canker are appearing all over the state," the let ter to poultrymen continues. "We know very little about the control of these troubles once a flock Is Infected, but must rely on prtventlv meas ure." Among th preventive measure the poultry specialists list these: Sick birds should be marked and excluded from the breeding pen. Pul lets should be culled throughout the growing season and the weaker birds removed. Poultry houses must pro vide ventilation In hot weather and protection from draft and dampness In cold weather. Feed a complete ration, Including mineral and vitamin snd plenty of green feed. Handle a few birds ev ery night to e whether they are In good condition. Remove bird from the flock when they show the first symptom of sickness, for one sick bird may contaminate the whole flock. Health of Fowls The best wny to keep In touch with the health of the birds and to detect digestive disorders, etc.. at the earliest possible moment. Is to make a practice of Inspecting the droppings boards every morning. Simple loose ness of the bowels, indigestion due to too rich a ration, liver troubles, excess animal food, etc., can all be detected by the condition of th droppings: and the general tendency to Intestinal disorders thus shown should receive Immediate attention.
