The natural magnet is a ponderous iron stone of a blackish color. It is supposed to derive its magnetic power from, the-ppsition in which it lay in the earth, for a, bar of iron if suspended in a particular direction fbr some f time becomes magnetic. If one of these natural magnets be broken into jsieces each piece will .have the property of„ attracting iron and communicating to it magnetic power by fr»iction--^thus; if a needle be rubbed from its' eye to. its poiijt a few times over the North ;pisle.;bf..ai.magriet*andi then stuck in a srhall cork to swim on water, the, eye \vill vper towards the north and the point towards the south;, -»*Inthis \Vay the Chinese in early days formed their mariners compass, a giyde on which they could rely at all times with perfect safety The magnet has a power of repulsion as well as of attraction. Each natural magnet has an attracting and a repelling pole, and the space between the poles will neither attract nor repel. In one of the palaces of ^Portugal was one of these Natural magnets, of so'large, a size tfiat it was capable"] of sustaining a weight of t .yo' hundred pounds: it was a .present from the Emperor nf China to a resident of Portugal. . ,"v .i : - i:"' '• *• , Termites Euild Tunnels to Overcome Obstacles 'Cellulose; the fibrous material in' V/ood,'is the chief source of food for the termites. It is not usual to find tself on this substance, but the digestive system of the termite is able to break it down jnto ^ simpler materials. The insides of termites are swarming with microscopic crea-,; tures known as protozoa, and thereis good reason to believe that these do the actual breaking down of the cellulose. " When cellulose and its kindred compounds, starch and sugar, are digested in any animal they are oxidized to carbon dioxide and wat^r. There is evidence that termites supply a considerable part of their water requirements from the water thus formed. . The young termites, continues a writer in the Chicago Tribune, are hatched underground and make their way from there to the wood to be" attacked. Since they do not like exposure to light and air, they prefer a timber that is in contact with the ground. Nevertheless the practice of having only masonry come in contact with the ground does not protect the wood completely. Termites can build branched tunnels out of earth and ground - up woosL which extend from the soil up over the surface of the masonry. - Humoro two plus three Arthur, who was five years old, was-being drilled in simple arithmetic by his teacher; who" said: "If I put five sweets in your hand and, you eat two of them, how. many would you have then?" "Five," replied Arthur. "But," said the teacher, "how can that be true when you have Harold Fhalin, who is enjoying a ,vacation from his work with the Public Service company, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

TURN OVE "A fellow threatened today "to ,put me to sleep." - „ "I am glad that he didn't do it, you do snore so." lew Trees . : The taxus, or "real yews," as some call these trees, because they' had the name before the podocarpus was known, are headed by what we call the "English" yew, though its native heath stretches fiom England across Europe to North Africa ancl the Himalayas, notes a writer in the Los Angeles Times. "In days of old, when knights were bold and barons held their sway," all were armed with bows of yew, made from taxus baccata, the so-called English yew. In fact, it is said that the word yeoman was originally yewman, one armed with bow and arrows. This tree becomes, with age, of noble proportions. Rarely more than '• sixty feet high, it is a widespreading tree with an occasional trunk diameter of more than eight feet. . Woman's Intuition ' "My dear," remarked Jones, who had just finished reading a book on "The Wonders of Nature," "this is really a remarkable book. Nature is marvelous! Stupendous! When I read a book like this, it makes me think how puerile, how insignificant is man. "Huh!" smiled his better half, "a woman doesn't h^ve to wade through 400 pages of a book to discover that!"--Santa Fe Magazine. A Familiar Noise With Him Bacheller--Are you ever troubled with roaring in your ears at night? Daddi--Well, I should say so! But if it gets too bad, I get up and walk the floor with him till he quiets ' down.--Baltimore Evening Sun. On His Way "Oh, Mr. Policeman, a man has been following me." "Are you sure he was following you?" . '•Yes, I went back two or three times to see if he was coming." Diffidence "Have you ever thought of pak-' ing campaign speeches?" "No," answered Miss Cayenne. "I haven't had enough luck charming men one at a time to think of trying to make a hit with a crowd." Barbers Broadcast News Barbers played an important jpart, --performed a public service, as it were--in ancient days in the disf. semination of news of outstanding events. "Barber shops" in those days were located in or near the center of a community, and to these places "runners" came to tell their stories of happenings, for the barber shops were recognized as gathering places for important individuals, who assembled to discuss questions that occupied the public attention. This ancient custom has been handed down through the ages, especially to the smaller communities of the United States. ; - African Languages The tribal records of Africa go on only by word of mouth and are handed down through the years in this way. According to an authority, with one ,or two local exceptions, no tribe has achieved any written record. There are several native languages spoken throughout Africa and every one of these tongues has a definite grammatical structure, often more precise than the grammar of English. There are about 600 different tongatf in Africa^ Very Thoufhtful "He is very thoughtful of his Wife." "Yes. Last winter he bought coke instead of coal so it wouldn't be so heavy for her to shovel info the furnace."--Exchange. Startled "I turned the way I signalled," said the lady, indignantly, after the crash. "I know it," retorted the man, "That'what fooled me." A Tight Spot "Who is that girl you just spoke to?" , "Never mind, darling, I'll have enough trouble explaining to her who you are."--y. S. S. Saratoga Plane Talk. SOME IDEA The Claque The claque originated in France a hundred years ago, when men would be employed by managers of theatres as well as by actors and actresses. They were known as clequers, and the _ groups, as a whole, as claques. Incidentally, the word is Italian and means to clap. Spotted throughout the house they would, on a given signal, break into rapturous applause. The idea was that the general audience would be "stampeded" into doing likewise. "What's your id?»^f bl "Plenty of worms^ and rifles!" * Starting Young The teacher was testing the knowledge; of a kindergarteh class.
