The deviation nky be determined by this arrangement on the new part of the Kansas City Airport's taxiway, says the Kansas City Star. Its purpose is to enable airplane pilots to check accurately the-compasses of their planes in order that they may make proper allowances In flight for the deviation. The airplane is placed within the circle formed on the* con* crete and In line with the arrow. The plane's compass reading then is checked against the indicating arrow, and the deviation, JLf iiny. iajttQted accordingly. The operation then is re» peated in comparison with the other points of the compass as laid out in this permanent diagrana. If th& pilot finds that his compass is not accurate, he also finds out how much, allowance should be uiade in determining directions. :'-"V :',.' , WATERPROOFING CLOTH IS MADE FOR USE ON >AHM.-- A cheap and effective waterpropflng liquid may be ftiade by dissoivlng paraffin in fispllne, using as much of the Solid pfttaffin as the gasoline will take upk Less may do but it may require ibore than one coat of the fltoid If tod thin.

Wliy Oklahoma C ban fed Capital* Oklahoma City was more centrally located, and had other advantages. It was long planned to make It the capital when Oklahoma should become a state, but as a concession to Guthrie it was written Into the enabling act of 1900 and the first state Constitution that Guthrie should remain the capital until 1913. Nevertheless, an election was held in 1910, at which the peofli voted to make Oklahoma City the capital. A series of court contests ensued, In which both the state and federal Supreme courts were called upon to rule on the matter. The election was held invalid, but a special session of the state legislature passed a law accomplishing what the vote had failed to de, and since 1910 Oklahoma Olty ins been the capital. How Presid^pts of U. S. Receive Their Salary \, The President of^the United States receives his salary once each month in the form of government checks delivered by a special representative of the Treasury department Before government pay cuts were In style the Chief Executive was paid with one check for $6,250 each month. When government salaries were reduced per cent PresidentHoover voluntarily cut his own salarp«5 per cent. But since the President's salary icannot be either raised or lowered during his term of office, Mr. Hoover was paid his full salary, part of which he returned to the treasury. To make this convenient he had them pay him with two checks, one large and one small, the latter representing 15 per cent of the monthly salary, which he returned. Since President Roosevelt voluntarily reduced his $75,000 a year .salary by 15 per cent he is paid In the same way. --Pathfinder Magazine.

Hot-water pipes are reported to burst from freesing more often than cold water pipes. This is not because of a difference of freetlng point of the water, but is probably because the water in cold-water pipes contains dissolved rfW* wMch sepa rates on freezing and forms slushy ice; while when water in a hotwater pipe freezes, it is more apt to become undercooled and then freeze rather suddenly, forming compact ice free from bubbles which Is more apt ..to break.a pipe,- v-- Haw GeM Claims Ara Stak*4 ^ When a claim has been located, usually a monument of .stones or logs, stakes, etc., Is built In the center of the claim, In Whlch,ls placed a tip can ot other suitable receptacle containing trritten declaration of claim to that particular trafct, described as so many* feet each directlofl {depending upon the number Of fccres allowed for a claim in that particular locality, the size of claim* belntf different in different sthtes or territories).

Differences, have devel oped, however, since that time which have led many students of language to come to the conclusion that the lan guage spoken In the United States should no longer be called English, but distinguished in some way. , Why II I« Sing Sins Sing Sing was the -original .name of the town In which Sing Sing prison is located, which has since been changed to Ossining. The name Sing Stng is said to have been taken from a friendly Indian, John Sing Sing, but another authority states that it is an Indian natne meaning "place of stone," and that the town was named from a creek that flowed through it Why They Ara "BIueno«e«" The term originated from the idea that the climate of Nova Scotia Is so cold that it gives the noses of the people a blue tinge.^ ' "H*w Fa«t Clama Swiss Clams are sedentary and practically stationary in adult life, living for the most part in the ooze at the bottom of tidal salt water or of streams or lakes. The clams as well as other mollusks of this type do not swim in the adult stage and have practically no power of locomotion. The larvae, however, are minute free swimming organisms, so-called because they have rudimen. tary organs of locomotion and are not fixed. They do not possess swimming powers comparable to those of fishes and do not progress any appreciable distance before they settle down. How Rome Furnished Homes • In the ancient Roman houses furniture was scarce and consisted of necessities, such as beds, tables and chairs, and sometimes reclining divans. Carpets were unknown; the floors were generally of concrete or of tiles. Curtains (aulaea) were sometimes drawn over the opening in the roof of the atrium. The beds, couches, tables and chairs were generally of wood. Tables were often very elaborate and occasionally made of metaL Many Nattm Originated With Hebrews, Teutoms Names are so intimately associated with personalities that their traditions, their; derivations, And their evolutions from one language into another provide an absorbing topic--especially to parents seeking airpropriate names for the most recent additions .to the iMDily circle. ' In the dawn of history, Is the Old Testament era, botes a writer in the Chicago Tribune, names conferred by parents on the eventual patriarchs of the Hebrews were descriptive phrases, which have been banded down from generation to generation. Thus Joseph was so called because he was not" the first child, the old Hebraic translation of the name being "Addition." When Benjamin was born, his mother, Rachel, feeling that his birth must cost her own life, called him Benonl, meaning "Son of sorrow," which his fifcther modified to Benjamin, interpreted "Son of my right hand." Thus many names in use today originated In the old Hebrew tongue, being varied somewhat in spelling and pronunciation as they were adopted by other nations, and races. Many more hark back to the Teutons and reflect meanings closely associated with the deities and the warlike spirit of the' people who first used them. These Include many reference?, to battle and to animals. The variobs traits of the latter---strength or cunning or speed--were commemorated in Teutonic titles. Few names in this category were suggested by complexions, which frequently Inspired! the Keltic clans--"the ruddy," "the yellow," "the dark," "the white," being applied in numerous Instances to distinguish a man or t matd. " ^ E Pluribus Unum, Motto on U. S. Sfeal and Coins "E Pluribus Unum"--One out of many--Is the Latin motto which appears on the obverse of the great seal of the United States. It Is thus the "official" motto of the government; and by act of congress Is also inscribed on the coins. The motto was originally proposed on August 1, 1776, by a committee of three which had been appointed by continental congress to prepare a device for a state seal. The committee consisted, incidentally, of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. Their suggested seal Was not accepted, however, and It was not until June 20, 1782, that the motto was adopted as part of the second and successful device, which was • submitted by Charles Thompson, secretary of congress. r * It was in 17&6 that congress directed the employment of "E Pluribus Unum" on the coinage. On the great seal it Is Inscribed upon a scroll issuing from an eagle's mouth. It also so appears on many coins. ^ .The motto Itself is an ancient turn t>f phrase, to be found in a number of the classical authors. Hi* Sar The Norwegian expedition of 1010 proved definitely that the Sargasso sea does not contain a mass of marine plants s*>dense and thick that sailing ships venturing theieln are heh! Indefinitely without the power to free themselves. The position of the Sargasso sea varies with the winds and currents, but Is approximately 20 to 3ft degrees north and 80 to 70 degrees west.

The first bottle which resembled the modern type was Thatcher's common sense bottle, which was patented in 1889. , . .. - How Broadway Got lb Nam The first mention of Broadway was in 1643 when a land transfer is recorded as located on that thoroughfare. The name was derived from the thoroughfare being a broad way In the same manner that highway received its appellation. The Romans elevated all their roads above the adjacent land to drain off the water, hence a highway is higher and a broadway is broader than a lanes. "Foe!> Gold* Gold is not usually found with coal or tn coal formations. The yellow crystals and flakes are probably Iron pyrites, a sulphide of iron commonly found with coal and most other minerals. Its crystalizations are well marked and often of much beauty, while its brilliant luster and golden color have given it a fictitious resemblance to gold. Hence its name, "fool's gold." If Earth Stopped Rotating The Coast and Geodetic^survey says - that the usual daily and semi-daily rise and fall of the tide would undoubtedly cease if the earth stopped rotating. There would, however,--be a semi-monthly and semr-yearly tide of small amplitude due to the monthly revolution of the moon around the earth and the yearly revolution of the earth around the sun.
