Such a thing is impossible. Ventriloquism is an art; It is not magic. Almost anyone can become a ventriloquist by patient practice: The ventriloquist you see on the stage does not "throw his voice"; be merely talks without moving his lip or face muscles, and as the dummy's mouth moves simultaneously, simultane-ously, it seems to the audience that the voice la "thrown" into the dummy. A very expert ventriloquist, however, how-ever, can make it .appear that his voice is coming from some distant point, though not from any specific point He muffles the voice so that it sounds far away. By directing attention to a certain object, then muffling the voice, an Illusion can be created that the voice came from the Indicated pointy If you want to practice ventriloquism, ventrilo-quism, stand before a mirror and try to say words and sentences without with-out moving a muscle of your face. The Hps should be slightly parted. You'll find you can say most words pretty easily, with a little practice, but words beginning with or containing con-taining b, f, m, p, or v are hard to pronounce without closing the lips for a second. Even these letters though can be made to be understood under-stood by throat intonations. Washington Wash-ington Star. . Water Mills Disappear; Now Relics of the Past Throughout Europe, as well as America, the multitude of quaint little grist mills which are run by water are fast becoming relics of the past, writes a correspondent ln the Pathfinder Magazine. In Jugoslavia Jugo-slavia It has been the custom to perch a tiny mill or even a series of such, mills ln the middle of a small stream. This reduces the cost of the plant, as the mills are exceedingly simple. They consist of little more than a big box, set op on stilts right over the water. The flour Is of the genuine genu-ine "whole wheat type, ai It Is net even alfted. Such mills, though very picturesque, pictur-esque, are not efficient, as they produce pro-duce such a small amount of flour. Their nse Is being discontinued ln localities where other and more modern power can be had. Electric current has been Introduced very widely where there Is water power, and of course gasoline motors are used to a large extent. Japanese Cherry Blossom The cherry blossom is to the Japanese Jap-anese what the rose Is to the western west-ern world. For generations It has been venerated as the first of the flowers and representative of the spirit of Japan. The tree is cultivated cul-tivated for Its blossoms alone which are In many cases as large as a small rose. "The Forty Immortals' Founded by Richelieu The French academy la the most Important and best known of the five academies composing the French institute, the other four being the Academies des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, the Acaderale des Sciences, the Academle des Beaux-Arts, Beaux-Arts, and the Academle des Sciences Morales et Polltluues. The French academy was founded in 1C25 by Cardinal Richelieu and conslsfs of 40 members popularly known as The Forty Immortals." Its objects are to prepare dictionary dic-tionary of the French langunge and to render the Gallic tongue pure and exact, and capable of treating of the arts and sciences. The dictionary appeared in 1U first edition In 1G94, and has undergone un-dergone almost constant revision since. It has been severely criticized criti-cized and ta by many considered Inferior In-ferior to certain dictionaries emanating emanat-ing from less celebrated sources. The academy Is a self-perpetuat-trig body, filling its own vacancies. Owing to Its extremely conservative tendencies It has frequently chosen Its members from among men whose careers were practically ended. Hence the humorous designation "The Hotel des Invalides of Liters ture." Many well known men of letters have failed of election to the French academy, and the term "41st chair" has come to designate a man of note whose scholarship entitled him to membership In that body. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Origin of the "A," First Letter of the Alphabet Some wise man once wrote, "what is ever seen is never seen." The saying Is particularly true of the alphabet. "In the words of Prof. Isaac Taylor," says the Chicago Chi-cago Tribune, "the alphabet may be fairly accounted the most difficult as well as the most fruitful of all the past achievements of human intellect. in-tellect. It has been at once the triumph, tri-umph, the instrument, and the register regis-ter of the progress of our race." Yet the alphabet Is so commonplace a fundamental of human Intercourse that its history Is little appreciated appre-ciated or known. ., The Phoenician A, considered as one of the very earliest of alphabetical alpha-betical forms, stood for a breathing sound. Vowels were not represented represent-ed In the Semitic alphabets. The Greek alphabet was a development of the Phoenician. The early Greek alphabet Is dated at approximately the Ninth century B. O. In the early centuries of the Christian calendar cal-endar the Romans further changed and developed the alphabet Roman writings In stone in early times were inscribed with large capital letters, such as the Roman A. This form has come down to us unchanged un-changed tn many respects. It is strongly contrasted with the Hebrew He-brew form of A. Stalin' Biography in 17 Word In the Biographical Annual, published pub-lished by the Izvestia, the organ of the Soviet government, the shortest note reads as follows: "Stalin, Joseph Jo-seph Vissartonovich Djugashlrll; b. GorL Tiflis province, 1879; m. Nadejda Sergeyevna Alleluya (d. 1932); two 8." There Is nothing about his being de jure secretary genera of the Russian Communist party, or de facto dictator of the TJ.

People of Ireland In the population of Ireland, three major types are usually recog nlzed. The most primitive Is the short, black-haired type, sometimes called FIrbolg, variously denned by anthropologists as non-Aryan or aa Iberian or a branch of the Mediterranean Med-iterranean race. The conquerors of these peoples were a tall and blond race known as Tuatha De Danann. who were either Scandinavian Scandina-vian or Celtic-speaking peopios. They were followed by the Gaelic Invasion, probably within historic times. This Celtic-speaking race Is Identified with the predominant type of Irish of the present day. Calends, None and Idea In the Roman calendar the month was divided into unequal parts by the days which were known aa the Calends. Nones and Idea The Calends were always the first day of the month, the Nones came on the fifth or seventh, and the Ides on the thirteenth or fifteenth. Although Al-though the term, strictly speaking, refers to only one day. It Is sometimes some-times loosely used of the seven flays preceding. Salaam Racinf This form of skiing competition originated ln Norway. It was first called slalaam. Id the Telemark dialect. dia-lect. La am means a track. In Tele-darken Tele-darken there are two laams connected con-nected with skiing. A hopiaam la a track, having a jump on It somewhere. some-where.

Sugar Cane From India; "Sweet Stick of the East" Sugar cane, "the sweet stick of the East," Is supposed to have been Indigenous to India. It did not be come an article of household consumption con-sumption until the middle of the Sixteenth century. Almost Imme diately Cuba became an Important sugar producer; that country Is aptly called the world's sugar bowl Her soil, temperature and rainfall combine to make It possible to produce pro-duce sugar with less human effort than In any other place In the world. The reproduction of sugar cane occurs In two ways: either the roots are left In the ground after the year's crop and make a new crop, or else short stalks of cut cane are planted horizontally in furrows. From the "eye" of the Joints of these stalks a new crop rises. The latter method Is, of course, more expensive. ex-pensive. In most countries It Is not profitable to ratoon for more than a year on account of a diminishing dimin-ishing yield, and new planting la then resorted to. In the fecund soil of Cuba ratoonlng Is commonly practiced from four to eight years, and In some Isolated cases for more than 20 successive years the cane has yielded its sweet gift without more encouragement than a mere cutting of the crop and a little cultivation cul-tivation of the ground each year. New York Herald Tribune. The Lowly Pretzel In shape, the pretzel once had a Bpeclal religious significance to good folk In the forest regions of southern south-ern Germany. They were called "hretzeln" then, and were made to be eaten only during holy week. They were given their peculiar shape in order to suggest the knots of rope tied about Christ's wrists at the time of his crucifixion. Eating Eat-ing them was a part of the religious re-ligious observance of those times, but their fame as a tasty morsel carried beyond the forest regions and beyond the holy days. Finally, their place of origin and significance were forgotten and they beenme Just pretzels. Washington Post Nearest to Diamonds The gem stone nearest in appearance appear-ance to the diamond Is the colorless color-less zircon. The Index of refraction refrac-tion of this mineral aproaches that of the diamond, hut It lacks the dispersive properties of the diamond and does not show the bright red and blue flashes of the latter stone. The zircon has a hardness less than that of the diamond. These stones are found In Ceylon, but are usually obtained by decolorizing colored stones by careful heating. They are sometimes called Madura diamonds. dia-monds. They are classed as semiprecious semi-precious stones. The Badger When put to It to defend himself, the badger has fierce courage, and will usually satisfy attackers they had better retreat Squatting low to the ground, and. provided with powerful muscles and sharp teeth, he can Inflict serious wounds. When attacked the badger gives oft a powerful and nauseous scent from a pair of glands near the base of the tall (He belongs to the "stink-cat" "stink-cat" family; a relative of the weasel, mink and skunk.) Reciprocity A remarkable example of the vital vi-tal Interdependence which sometimes some-times occurs between a plant and an animal Is that of the yucca shrub and the yucca moth.

Size of Hippopotamus The hippo, us must people know, is a hue aquatic animal, ln fact. It Is the bulkiest quadruped there la except the elephant The hippo might even outclass the elephant except ex-cept for the fact that his legs are short The average full-grown hippo hip-po is 12 to II feet long; but It Is only 4 feet high being very "squatty." He will weigh a ton or two. o Allow Coral to Grow The necessity for conservation of natural resources Is recognized by the Algerian coral Industry. -The Algerian coral reefs are divided Into ten regions, only one of which Is dredged each year. This allows each reef a period of ten years be tween dredglngs In which to recuperate recu-perate through the action of the tiny polyps which are responsible for the growth of the coral structures. struc-tures. Japanese Day and Night The Japanese until recently, like the auclent Greeks, preferred to have their day start at sunrise and end at sunset and the night begin at sunset and end at sunrise. But they wanted also to have a given number of "hours" ln each day and night which they set at six for each. Lares and Penates In ancient Home the lares were the household gods, usually deified tncestors or heroes. The penates were guardian gods, the personifications personifi-cations of natural powers, their mission being to bring wealth and nower.
