It Is generally found mixed with quarts, silica and mica. It is necessary to pulverise the rock with crashing rasebtn- «7, which is followed by the extraction of the sfvaphUe.

They say it used to be a nice sleek watchdog which Adam left to guard the gate of Paradise, but it went snuffing around to find a hare or rabbit and let the old devil sneak In. Then the Lord said It should be a dog no longer, but a hound, always hunting and always starving, so to hear a hound Is a bad sign.

President a Feature Nicholas Murray Butler's attempt to "smoke out" President Coolldge on a third term did not succeed, but did revive a story told last summer while Mr. Coolldge was at the White Pine camp in the Adlrondacks. According to the gossips the President was out on one of the lakes fishing when the sky became overcast The boatman remarked that the dark clouds Indicated rain. Mr. Coolldge made no comment After a while the sky grew blacker and the boatman again remarked that be guessed it waa going to rain. Still Mr. Ooolldge was silent Then came the distant roar of thunder. A sharp flash of lightning was followed by another sharp peal of thunder. Rain began to fall. "Well," •aid the President's companion, questionlngly, "I guess we're going to get that shower." The President looked at him and demanded sharply: "What are you trying to do, pin me down?"--Loc Angeles Times. ^ Sure Signs of Storms A sadden and local motion of the air. not otherwise seen but by its whirling up the dust on a dry road in calm weather.

HmmwUy Jswslod Mummy Among recent important discoveries, in Egypt according to an Egyptian correspondent Is the finding In Egypt's western desert of a tomb containing the mummy of a woman, presumably a queen, covered with jewels of priceless description. Among these are 18 bracelets of gold and sliver, five necklaces In brilliants on her neck and a superhead crown studded with brilliants. Near the body were found other necklaces In sapphires and brilliar. ts, also a statuette beautifully carved from porphyry. Hieroglyphics on the tomb indicate that the body Is that of a princess who lived 3,000 years ago, but it has not been possible yet to establish to what dynasty she belonged. Chancm for a Record Star runners, out for a world's rec- , ord, should try the 880-yard run. That Is the suggestion of Dr. Earle R. Hadrick, a mathematician of the University of California, in Popular Science Monthly. From carefully prepared charts based on the limit of human endurance, as now established, he concludes that the record of one minute and fifty-two seconds for the 880 Is the one most likely to be Improved In the near future. It might be lowered a full five seconds'and still be consistent with some of the other records now existing. Painful News Cecil B. De Mllle recently to<#lr a party of Middle West clergymen out in his yacht It so happened that the wife of one of the parsons was seeing the ocean for the first time, and also feeing the first qualms of approaching seasickness.
