Presidential TorjM If any President was ever a rsmdt date for a third term, it was Theodore Roosevelt. It depends upon whether or not his tilling out of MeKinle.v'^un expired term is reaiiy to be counted rs a first term for himself. "T. R." at one time declared he considered It his first term. In later years his political spokesmen held that It should not count as such. It seems to be matter of opinion. General Grant aspired lo a third term, hut his coptest for the nomination was unsuccessful. HOW TREES DRAW THE MOISTURE TO TI1K TOPMOST LEAVES.-- It is a long Journey from the root of a forest tree to Its topmost, outermost leaves. And for years, observes a writer in the Boston Herald, scientists were baffled by the mystery of how water was pumped or pulled up the long stretch inside the trees, and the.v ventured all sorts of explanations. The roots pump It, said some. And the leaves pull It," said others. And still - different explanations were made by still thers. But now of these things c<uild account for the long uphill journey of the water, and even all of them together did not explain. The scientists agree that they've found • more convincing explanation, bnt they can't be absolutely sure that they are right. Still, this is the modern idea of the thing: Bits of water in >' narrow stream stick closely together, and if the little stream is n arrow enough (as it must be inside the trunk and branches of a tree) the stream can be pulled along like a wire, not breaking, because each little past! ele of water clutches its neighbor for dear life, rather than give wAy and he separated* Scientists believe that the wiry (bread of water Is pulled upward within the tree by the evaporation which is using up the water at the top of the column. The moisture in the leaves is perpetually evaporating ioto the air, and consequently the leaves constantly pull upward on the wiry thread of water within the trunk and branches. The thread stream is tough--and though the evaporation from the'.leaves pulls it steadily upward--It doesn't break. How and When the Term : Horse Power Originated The term "horse power" was originated by James Watt and Matthew r.oulton, the British mechanicians who improved the steam engine, took it out of the chemical'laboratory "and put It to practical use. Watt's first work with the steam engine was done iu 176T> and his partnership with Boplton was frOm 1774 to 1S00V As soon as they placed their engine on the market there arose a rft>ed for some means of gauging and com paring its strength. The horse became their comparison, although the term horse power had no precise meaning at first. But the Inventors made practical tests and found that the'average- London dray horse could work stead ily for eight hours at the rate of 33. 000 pounds an hour. Later experimenters got results dif fering considerably from that' of Watt and Bnalton. and iTJ.OsK) foot pounds per minute is more nearly--the average to be expected of the horse, but 153,000 pounds lias been adopted as the unit and has beconie a universal stand ard. Haw "O. K> Cot J5*i#t»d There is a fanciful story ascribOig the first use of "O. K." to the ignorance of Andrew Jackson, who indorsed his papers with these letters under the Impression that it was the ahbrevln tlon of "All Correct." which tie, ac cording to the story, always spelled "Oil Korrect." Later the same story was told of John Jacob Astor, Wll liam Henry Harrison and others. Bnt the origin of this mark of approval Is not definitely known. Webster's New International Dictionary ascribes M to the corruption of a Choctaw Indian word, "okeh." which is said to mean "it is so and in no other way."' President Wilson approved tills theory and used "okeh" In approving state papers How Coral Roof• Vary Of the three types of coral reafs. fringing reefs. wLlch are connected with the shores upon which they are built, vary from one-fourth to one half mile in width and an indetermin ate length.

How Morcvry Is Cleaned The bureau of standards says that a simple way to remove dirt from meity cury is to shake the mercury vigorous* ly with some cane sugar, after which the metal is filtered off through a pin hole in the bottom of a paper cone.

Instead of filterins through a pinhole the mercury may he squeezed through several thick nesse« of cloth. > • "l^you are oo the mil of econ- J «my. fat * telephone! Or, If y T&u have one--use it!

How Lenin Wu Embalmed Probably no one outside of Russia fealty knows how the body of Lenin was actually embalmed. It Is believed that the body was embalmed with Russian turpentine In which 10 per cent of othophenylphenol had been did solved. Since orthophenylphenol is 45 times as powerful as pure carbolicacid, it wonld doubtless be effective In producing the sterilization.

It "should be remembered, says a writer in the Missouri Farmer, that the great bulk^ of winter eggs come from pullets batched last spring--assuming they were hatched early enough so 'that»thejr are now practically mature --rso while the older hens should oot be neglected the poultry man should pay sirecial attention to the pullets. Every effort should be exerted to bring them into laying at earliest opportunity. , Oue of the important things to do is to get them into winter quarters. The chief reason for this is thai If laying while,, on the range, these laying pullets are very apt to suffer a set back when transferred to permanent quarters. Frequently this set-back is so serious that it precipitates a fall molt and the pullets may experience a winter or early fall molt just at the time when eggs are higher In price. One of the problems of the poultryman Is to avoid this fall vacation and early housing will tend to reduce the danger of this trouble. The usual recommendation is to house the pullets when as many as 5 per cent of the flock are laying, but generally speaking from now on the earlier the pullets are housed the better. By early housing the pullets become adjusted to their new quarters before starting in on their year of production and in addition they will, probably be less susceptible to fall colds which always cut down production. In the housing of pullets emphasis should be planni In the preparation of the winter quarters. First of all plans should be made to house the pullets in separate houses or pens as pullets fall to make satisfactory development 1f mixed with oldei; hens. The presence of older hens not only exposes the pullets to diseases to which the hens may have become Immune ru;d yet may be able to transmit to the pullets in which immunity has not been established. Then, too. there Is always the danger of the pullets becoming Infested with external parasites. Again the presence of old hens causes the pullets to be reluctant In frequenting the feed hoppers and consequently. with limited feed con sumption growth and maturity are retaried.

C. Kills of the N'ew York state college of vetsfinary medicine. When pullets recqfc^r from fowl pox. as many do. they are Immune from further attack. Doctor Kills says vaccination Is desirable where flocks had fowl pox last year; vaccination Is probably not de- Krtble If the flock has never suffered i an Httack of fowl pox; but to be certain to avoid the disease this fall and winter, he suggests vaccinaton as a preventive measure. It is advisable~to vaccinate while the birds are still on range. Flocks that are affected with coccidiosis, worms, or any other disea »ed condition will likely suffer some losses. The vaccine Is applied by first removing several feathers from the front pp.rt of one leg and then applying the vaccine with'a smfal! brush. \V. A. Ilarrinian, chairman of the board, of directors of t lie I'nion I'sn-itic system, has atihmnirecl thai t; .e tlve committee has authorised-the placing of an order for the construction of the train illustrated above. L'esigned by Vice President E. E. Adams, it is of an entirely new type, light weight and full streamlining, with a si>eed of 110 miles per hour. It will be constructed either of aluminum alloys or of stainless steel. In place of the conventional under frame now used ou pitssenger ears, which takes all of the shock and, in addition, carries the supet structure and the load, each car In this new train is tubular in shape and the entire car body forms a deep stiff beam, thereby requiring a minimum amount of material for a glv^n strength. The first car contains a 000-horse power distillata (a non-explosive fuel) burning Internal combustion engine with direct connected electric generator and motors on the wheels of the forward truck, and also contains a Su-foot railway post office and a baggage roon\, the second rafts a <v>ncli aeafinf GO nasseutrers. The rear car Is also a coach seating 56 passengers, with a buffet. . Capacity of the Hen ' 'Until 20 years ago plain poultry keepers and scientists alike held the view that every hen came Into the world with the possible number of e£gs she might lay In her lifetime definitely fixed. No one knows who first promulgated this Idea, or what reason he gave for It. Some way It got Into circulation and was everywhere accepted without question. The utmost capacity of a hen was be- Jleved to be not more than 700 to 800.
