T Why Daniel Webster Did V':^ Not Get Hi# Beefsteaks A. statesman in Washington wished to emphasize, a point and he told a "little story «bout Daniel Webster. Webster, .it seems,^ had been sued by his butcher, for ®aot paying-^ bill of long standing. Webster kept de laying the decision of the , suit by means well known to sharp "lawyers. In the meantime the butcherT stopped serving Webster and Daniel missed those steaks very much. . Finally one day they met on the street. Webster asked him why he had not sent around to his house each day to get bis order, as before. "Why, Mr. Webster," explained the butcher, with great embarrassment, "I supposed you would not want to deai with me after I had brought suit against you." Webster bristled up and said : v"Oh, sue me all you want to, but for heaven's sake don't let me starve t<» Wtiy Lightning Scatter* When lightning strikes Into a group of people they are often thrown in all directions -away from each other, says Pathfinder Magazine. Why this happens has been the subject of much discussion. Theories to the effect that the scattering was caused by the rapid expansion of the air due to the heat of the bolt, and by muscular action of the highly charged bodies have been offered. The theory Is now advanced by Dr. E. A. B. Pritchard. of England, that the scattering Is caused by charges of electricity given to the bodies by the bolt. These huge charges cause the bodies to repel each other with great force. Why Parachute* Were IgnorU During the last days of the World war, In 1918, German aviators fre quently used parachutes, but after the war little was "done to complete the use of parachutes until the year 1921.

It was obvious that the old style~ balloon parachutes were too cumbersome to carry In airplanes. Why Bird* Puff Feathers A bird's feathers serve as nonconductors of heat and thus retain the heat of*their owners' body at the same time they keep out the cold. But the air that creeps in between the feathers is quite as valuable a. nonconductor as the feathers themselves, and that is why birds puff up their feath era to let in plenty of air between i a cold day. - • , . • •• •, - - -- poS; --*- ' "v I : :"vP.;p' • .-'r' •- iv'-V-v v-"'--"- .• . <T on • '• ..
