Specimens of their work have recently been exhibited ex quisitely fashioned out of stones that are almost as hard as a dla mond. and certainly considerably more resistant than cast-steel. Wort of this sort is all the more remarkable remark-able when we remember that, on til comparatively recently, the mod ern fashion In sculpture was to model In clay. The master's model was then copied In marble or stone bv masons. The old methods, which gave us the gnrgoyles of the medieval medie-val cathedrals, are now coming back however, and sculptors are again working direct on the stone.

Great Personal Charm in Svmrj&thetic Voir ! .. I There Is muKle in voices, though t ' dllllcult to define the enchant- ing note which thrills you in one person nnd is absent when another ei'raks, for a fnsclntitltig voice adds charm to ordlnury dialogue and the average looks of nvornge people, writes a correspondent lu the London Lon-don Dally Express. The best looking man on earth tanda less chance of success If his 8eukl"S voice just misses posses- ''b a certain timbre that has a magnetic quality about It. The same ruling applies to women. The most beautiful woman's charm is lessened If her voice holds no Interest and leaves us unimpressed, unim-pressed, and unmoved either to laughter or sympathy, while an ordinary ordi-nary woman becomes almost beautiful beauti-ful If she has a charming way of speaking. Some people only make conversation conversa-tion when they open their Hps. The most Intelligent dialogue sounds flat and spiritless If It is uttered Without With-out the underlying sparkle of personality per-sonality and the fragrance of human hu-man understanding. But other people peo-ple make music with half a dozen words, an expression, and a smile. I'erhaps the secret of the voice that makes friends Is that It seems to be speaking to you alone; taking tak-ing you In Its confidence. A sympathetic voice makes you , feel In tune with the whole world, j not always by what Is said, but by the lovely spoken. way the words are Feline Traits Worthy of Imitation by Man Clarence Day, In his clever rolume, "This Simian World," once ventured the speculation that If It had been the feline genus that had evolved Instead of the simians, ours would now be a scarcely recognizable recogniz-able world, Don Gordon writes In the Thinker. The cats, he maintained, are quiet, self-sufficient, unsocial. They are In direct contrast to the dependent, depend-ent, vociferous, gregarious simians. A world ruled by cats, or by a genua evolved from cats, would be a calm, poised, smooth-running affair, free from Incessant chatter and bickering. bicker-ing. If they fought, It would be aa Individuals, In-dividuals, not as droves. If they spoke, It would be of necessity, not for amusement or because of an Inability In-ability to restrain speech. Each would go his own way, think his own thoughts, interfere as little as possible with his fellow feline. Father Nile's Overflow The flooding of the Nile la quite regular. At Cairo, near the mouth of the river, the lowest level Is In June and the maximum level about the middle or end of September. At Assouan the lowest level Is In May and the maximum at the beginning of September. At Khartoum it Is lowest In April and May and highest high-est In August and September. The Blue Nile and Atbnra tributaries are the source of the Nile flood, the heaviest rains In Abyssinia occurring occur-ring from June to September. According Ac-cording to the Encyclopedia Brltan-dca Brltan-dca : -"Reduced to Us simplest expression, ex-pression, the Nile system may be said to consist of a great steady flowing river fed by the rains of the tropics, controlled by the existence exist-ence of a vast head reservoir (Lake Victoria), and annually flooded by the accession of a great body of water wa-ter with which its eastern tributaries tribu-taries are flushed." Popular Fur Persian lamb is the commercial name of the skin from young sheep of a variety whose native habitat la Bokhara, Afghanistan and Persia. Persian lamb Is nearly always black, though occasionally a gray or dark brown skin appears. The best Per-slan Per-slan lamb from Bokhara la silky and very tight In curl. Caracul (also spelled karakul) and astrakhan are two names for the same fur. This Is taken from another type of sheep which Inhabits the region of Central Asia around Tashkent, and also farther far-ther east In China and Mongolia. Tashkent caraculs have the highest luster and the finest moire markings. mark-ings. The color varies from brown, black, brown and black, to brown and white, and white. OliV Oil Long Popular Olive oil, one of our oldest foods, la still one of the most esteemed. It was a common food thousanda of years before Columbus discovered discov-ered America, and references to It are made In the Old Testament and other early literature. The Greeks nsed olive oil for food, lighting and aacramental purposes. Homer was not blind to its merits and referred re-ferred to It In his Iliad aa a lux-try lux-try of the wealthy, prised highly for Its value la the heroic toilet The warriors of Homer's day annolnted themselves with oil after the bath and, by 776 B.

Kukui Nut Has Added the Wealth of Hawaii A profitable Industry has developed devel-oped In Hawaii, In the extraction of oil of the kukul-uut tree. In days gone by, a business of respectable size was built up around this commodity, the output reaching reach-ing about lO.tKO gallons a month In lSoO. The oil was then usd for liglitlnj homes, the nuts being be-ing burned after being strung together to-gether on a stick. It also was era-ployed era-ployed as a wood preservative, Modern Mod-ern chemists have Keen Its value In the manufacture of soft soap, oil varnishes, paints and linoleums. The kukul trees grow ' wild on every Island of the territory, huge groves of thera flourishing In many mountain valleys. It is estimated that there are not less than 15,000 acres of the trees. From this source not less than 75,000 tons of nuts might be gathered annually. Even should the yield be reduced to 50,000 tons, due to the inaccessibility inaccessi-bility of some of the trees, the commercial com-mercial yield still would be In the neighborhood of 2,500,000 gallons of oil for twelve months. Actual Kiss of Death on Criminal Records A case Is on record In which a woman's kiss actually poisoned a young man. The man In question was In prison and was allowed to receive a female relative. Smartly Smart-ly dressed and veiled the woman spoke to the prisoner through the cell bars. On the point of leaving she suddenly raised her veil and with her face close to the bars, passionately pas-sionately kissed the young man. Then, sobbing bitterly, she walked out of the prison to a waiting car. The warden returned to the cell to find the prisoner dead on the floor. Between his Hps was a discolored cigarette paper. The woman had secreted the poisoned cigarette paper, pa-per, Impregnated with cyanide of potassium, between her Hps, and during the kiss had managed to transfer It to the Hps of the prisoner. prison-er. The woman was never traced. When Tea Wat Luxury When tea was first Introduced Into Englund It was highly regarded and very expensive, as the opportunities oppor-tunities for securing It were rare. Since tea was such an expensive luxury, drinking fhe beverage was almost a rite. No unseemly haste marked tea drinking. When tea was to be served, It was appropri ate to give a party, and surrounded surround-ed by friends to sip the beverage with appropriate taste. Tea drinking drink-ing thus has become a pastime," as strongly Intrenched as theater going go-ing la today. As more and more was learned of the cultivation of tea leaves, the quantity of tea became larger and Its use for drinking purposes Increased. In-creased. It has become today the most popular beverage. Iu the English theater lea Is served on matinee days, both before and behind be-hind the curtain. It Is served on the railroad trains In England. The Jordan River It la a fact that the Jordan Is the only river In Palestine. For more than two-thirds of Its course the river is below the level of the sea. It runs Into an Inland sea (the Dead sea), which has no port and Is destitute of aquatic life; It has never been navigable, and no considerable con-siderable town lias ever been built on Its banks. Sugar cane was grown In the valley of the Jordan in the days of the crusaders, and la still grown. Generally the Jordan Is a dirty stream, and the Inhabitants of the valley are mainly migratory. Birch Biting a Lost Art Birch biting Is now an abandoned art, but 50 or 60 years ago It was one of the ways In which the Indian In-dian women of the Chippewa tribe nsed to express their love of the ornate. They would fold thin pieces of birch bark several times and then bite small pieces out of the folded material. ' When opened the bark would show geometric patterns of rough likenesses of leaves, flowers or other objects. Specimens of this art have been preserved and are now on display at the National museum mu-seum at Washington. Must Pay for Everything We enjoy nothing today for which someone In the near or distant dis-tant past has not paid the price. That truth is the great corrective of pride and selfishness. Men are blind when they swagger and live narrowly and meanly for themselves. them-selves. They profess to be able to live their own lives without help from others. They grow eloquent about their Independence. But all the time they are Ignoring a del which Is too great ever to be repaid. re-paid. Rev. Sidney M. Berry, D. D.

Indications are thai nun were experimenting ex-perimenting with f.i!Jia.slic devices for the conquest of the air long before be-fore the birth of Olirixt. according to a compilation of uiuieoi chronicles., chroni-cles., ,. Although the narrated flight of Archytas of Turentuni in 4(W li. C recorded by Gellius, Is regarded largely as a flight of imagination. It Is accepted as an indication that even then men were attempting seriously se-riously to Imitate the birds. "Many men of eminence among the Greeks, and Favorlnus, tba philosopher," says Gellius, "have In a most positive manner assured us that the model of a dove or pigeon, formed In wood by Archytas, was so contrived as by a certain mechanical mechani-cal art and power to fly, so nicely was It balanced by weights and put In motion by hidden and enclosed air." Ovid's story of the fall of Icarus ahows that the ambition was still alive in the First century of the Christian era, as does other mention men-tion of man-made wings and ships modeled after bkds. Golden Book- Magazine. Statistics Show Women More Careful Than fVren Men are far more cureless than women. Such Is the conclusion drawn, after a lifetime of observation, observa-tion, by a prominent ofliclal of an Insurance company. lie admits that women do foolish things In the home. They carry knnlvea around as If they were Just pieces of wood and not deadly weapons. They clean their gloves and clothing In rooms where naked lights are burning. burn-ing. They cook over open fires wearing loose, banging clothing, and then are surprised when they catch fire. And they will mount a pair of steps without first making sure that the steps won't collapse. But these stupidities pale beside the long list that the Insurance expert can bring against the male. Here are a few of them : Jumping off omnibuses om-nibuses traveling at full speed. Smoking In bed. Switching on electric elec-tric lamps or fires with damp hands, forgetful of the risk of shock entailed en-tailed by such a procedure U the switch happens to lie faulty. . In Death United j "In Cromwell's days," says an article ar-ticle In an ancient edition of Horse and Hounds, "a certain Mr. Gerard was walking near , Ivybrldge lane, In London, meditating on bis plot to kill Oliver, when he was affronted affront-ed by the brother of the Portuguese Portu-guese ambassador, Don Punteleon,. There were high words, and the Portuguese was so embittered that the next day, after the pleasant custom of the time, he sent some hired ruffians to murder fierard. They mistook their victim and killed another man. Pantulcon's culpability In the affair was established, es-tablished, and be was condemned to df-ath. Meanwhile fiernrd's plot was discovered nnd he, too, was condemned. I'-oih men met on the scaffold, and whereas previously they had fulten out, they now Itung together." I Wilson's Easter Gift Speaking of Presidents, the late President Woodrow Wilson was very fond of children, and they reciprocated recipro-cated hU affection. One morning at Easter time, the Presidential party went to a local Presbyterian church. A little Mx-yenr-old girl In the next pew divided her attention between the President and a package pack-age in her lap. During a pause In the service she leaned over nnd handed the President a packnge. He turned around, smiled and bowed to the child as to a queen and treasured the package until he got outside, when he opened It like a boy, and found that It was a gaudy Easter egg. Washington Post. Perseverance Does It All the performances of human art, at which we look with praise or wonder, are Instances of the resistless resist-less force of perseverance; It Is by this that the quarry becomes a pyramid, pyra-mid, and that distant countries are united with canaK If a man was to compare the effect of a single stroke of a pickax, or of one Impression Im-pression of the spade, with the genera! gen-era! design and last result, he would be overwhelmed by the sense of their disproportion ; yet those petty operations Incessantly continued.

Measuring Sound The bureau of standards says the frequency of vibration of any sound having a definite pitch can be accurately ac-curately measured by means of a microphone and an oscillograph. Many sounds, such as a clap of thunder or the purring of a cat will be complex sounds consisting of mixtures mix-tures of sound of different pitches. Such sounds can be recorded on the oscillograph and analyzed into their single components whose frequencies frequen-cies can be determined. |
