Citizens of Little French Town of
Alan Offer Lives in Defense
of Stone Cow.
The famous stone cow of Alan, a
little town
France, is again the center of a fight
between the peasants of the village
and the Ministry des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Twice the ministry has sold
the cow, which dates back to the fif-
teenth century, and each time the
villagers have fought with pitchforks
and clubs all attempts to remove it
ace.
After the war a Paris antique deal-
er. knowing the history of the stone
cow, persunded the Ministry des
Beaux Arts to sell it to him. Once be-
fore they secid the cow, but all the
gendarmes that they could center on
Alan failed to get the monument. The
purchaser asserts that he will remove
it and place it in front of a Parisian
mansion. The peasants of Alan have
again armed, and this time with mod-
ern weapons, for little of the old vil-
lage is left from the shells of the Ger-
mans. and they intend to protect their
relic. There is little left of the Epis-
copal palace, before which the cow
stands. but not a shell hit the cow
during the war.
Blower Recovers Waste Cement.
The bags in which cement. is ship-
_ ped havea considerable return valde,
because of the character of the ma-
terial entering into the manufacture,
so that all large consumers find it
necessary to see that these are gath-
ered up and returned to the cement
plant.
Heretofore it has been regarded as
sufficient to turn the bag upside down
and shake it as a means of emptying.
But recently it has been found that
this method is wasteful in the ex-
treme, and the cement is now recov-
ered by a blower.
By this means from one and one-
half to two sacks of cement are re:
covered per 1,000 sacks cleaned. Two
men can clean 2,000 sacks a day, be-
sides sorting, counting and bundling
them. The cement recovered maks a
credit to the cost of handling of about
$2.50 a day.
Sell Many Door Locks.
The crime wave is resulting in much
new business for the hardware store
man these days. Padlocks, heavy
chains and burglar alarm devices are
being sold like hot cakes, and persons
who never before thought to lock
thelr. doors are now taking double
measures against intruders.
“Until a few months ago,” sald a
hardware man, “we sold door chains
only occasionally. Now we can't sup-
ply the demand. New Yorkers, as a
rule. are careless, but I think that the
present activity of the crooks will
teach them a lesson. My advice to
persons living in apartments is to
keep their doors well chained, Pro-
fessional crooks will get into almost
any place, but extra precautions on
hall doors will keep the sneak thief
out.”—New York Sun.

New Type of Oil-Burner,

into the cylinders, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The Diesel design
| is adhered to in the new type with the
exception that the excessively high
compression pressures of 400 to 500
pounds to the square inch are not
used. To start the engine, the mer-
cury is brought to a high heat with a
blowtorch. After starting, the heat
of the compression and combustion
maintains the temperature. Mercury
is used, for the reason that it is a
fairly good heat insulator and keeps

that, though it boils, there is no loss,
as the vapor condenses on the inside
wall of the water-jacketed top of the
igniter and returns to the bottom,

Pioneers’ Prairie Bunk.
~The necessity of finding a more con-
venient and comfortable place than
the ground upon which to sleep pro-
duced the “prairie bunk.” This one-
lexged bedstead, now a piece of furni-
ture of the past, was improvised by
‘the pioneer in 4 unique manner. A
forked &take was driven into the
ground at a proper distance from the
corner of the room and upon it poles.

fram each wall. These poles, where
they touched the walls, rested In the
openings between the logs or were
driven into auger holes. Upon these
| poles slats of clapboard were, placed,
"or linden bark was interwoven from

'joned “cord bed" was made by using
Lnsswood batk for the cord. On this

Such a sleeping place was usually

Thermometers. Grow Old.
Even thermometers become old, and
| consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former case the bulb appears to
shraik, thus forcing the quicksilver
too far up the stem. This gradual
shrinkage is supposed to be due to the
fact that the external pressure on the
buts may be considerably higher than
a» nossible having been removed be-
foro the glass is sealed.
On the other hand, the spirit ther-
nometer is sealed with the bulb cov-
ered in a freezing mixture, in order
te ‘ock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which in
tire appears to be reduced either by
expansion of the glass under the in-
ternal pressure or by leakage.

He says hair is an additonal orna-
