Sets Expanse No Bar
to Butterfly’'s Flight
Not many peop'e realize that some
kinds of butterflies make enormous
flights. It has been recently proved
that these frail insects may journey
thousands of miles, although why the»
should move about in this way *¥
somewhat of a mystery.
How the butterflies manage to cross
miles of ocean is a matter which it is
difficult to explain. It has been sug-
gested they may have some way of
resting on the water, although this
has never been proved to be the case.
Certain it is that when seftled in 2
locality, painted lady butterflies never |
appear to make long flights and spend
virtually all their time flitting from |
one flower to another.
Another point which has to be
cleared up is whether after this tre-
mendous migration the butterflies
make any attempt at a return journey.
If there should be a flight toward the
south at the end of the summer, it is
probable that the insects would be-
long to a later generation than those
that migrated In the spring. As is
well known, the life of an individual |
‘butterfiy is short and in most cases
does not extend to mere than a few
weeks.—S. Leonard Bastin, in St.
‘Nicholas.
Unable to Duplicate
Paper Made Long Ago
Who ever thought when some of the
‘bulky old volumes were published that
in time the few blank pages in front
and In back would be the most valu-
‘able part of the whole book?
‘That time seems to have arrived, for
4t 1s told that a distinguished British
-etchersspends many of his spare hours
gearcéhing through old book stores and
‘waste paper depositories for the mas-
-8ive..and wholly unread volume of
other: days. For years he has been
tearing out the clean leaves to get pa-
per that is paper, and is not an as-
gembly of all sorts of modern make-
shifts, which will disintegrate after »
few years.
The books, many of which are so
«dry and ponderous that some of the
leaves : remain uncut, can be bought
for a few cents. The paper, it Is said,
is not duplicated today, and, if fit
‘were, the price would be prohibitive
Animals Get Good Food
Old and wornout horses in London
are bought by the managers of the
‘200, made fat and sleek, then slaugh-
tered and fed to the animals, the num-
ber of horses thus disposed of last
year being 440. And the walrus col-
ony must have codfish, so nearly five"
‘tons were fed to them, besides 40 tons
of herring, while other articles of food
for the animals included 14,000 tins of
milk, 128 pounds of honey, 258 pounds
of ants’ eggs, 77 pounds of meal
‘worms, 150 bunches of onions, 213,000
bananas, 343 gallons of fresh milk, the
food bill for the year reaching $50.00”

Sediment Carried to Sea
Tt is generally believed that the
amount of sediment carried down by
the Mississippi river is greater than
that of any other river in the United
States. A vast amount of this sedi-
ment is brought into the Mississippi
by the Missouri. It is estimated that
a flood of 500,000 cubic feet per second
«carries into the Mississippi about 120
cubic yards of sediment per second, or
more than 10,000,000 cubic yards per
«day. It is estimated that 400,000,000
cubic yards per annum are carried
‘into the Mississippi from the Missouri
and that approximately the same
amount passes out into the gulf.
Rainfall in Palestine
Palestine is essentially an agricul-
tural country. Its rainfall averages 21
inches a year, which is about as much
as California receives. Palestine has
really only two seasons in its year—a
dry one, in the summer, and the rainy
or winter season. The latter begins in
October or November with the “early
rain,” and thereafter rain is frequent,
with occasional snow in the mountains,
until February. In that month the
planting takes place. Then, in March
and April, the “later rains” occur
and start the crops along.

4 plorer, who was the first white man
to penetrate into the interior of Tibet,
i has excited the curiosity of musicians
by his extravagant praise of the
church music of that mysterious coun-
‘try. He claims that he has visited
no fewer than 31 temples in the land
. of the Grand Lama, and that he found
. the music of the “temple service” to
. be so beautiful that he was spiritual-
: ly transported by it to regions super-
nal. He writes: “All through Tibet
| the life of these monks has appealed
; to me and filled me with delight be-
. yond anything I can say. The most
| delightful thing in all Tibet is the
: church music. Fresh young voices,
softened by thick, dark draperies
along the front of an open gallery,
i: pour forth their wonderful hymns,
| full of peace and love and longhng.
: Between whiles you hear the rumble
! of thunder of the bassoons and the
{ rhythmical clash of the cymbals;
| then the flutes with their shrill mel-
odles and the rolling drums, which
! echo through the high halls of the
| temples. But the singing is by far the
! most beautiful ; it carries one up and
; away from the troubles of this earth.”

The Man Who Builds
No man ever builds anything who
doesn’t first rear a castle in the air—
which 1s old stuff, of course, but no
one ever builds a castle in the air save
the optimists—which 1s a sapient
amendment. Just think that over. No
man ever gets anywhere, whether it
be selling strawberries or building em-
pires or peddling ice cream, unless he
possesses that unconquerable mastery
of his -own moods, that buoyant, san-
guine assufance which makes him
keen on believing that better things
lie ahead.
A famous New England merchant
once sald: “Almost every man knows
the things that must be done to get
along in the world. Those who don't
get along are the ones who refuse to
do the things they know so well.”—
William E. Telling, in the American
Magazine.
History of Locks
The history of civilization could be
written from a study of its locks and
keys, for since the barred gate of Eden
problems of inclusion and exclusion
have concerned mankind. Egyptians
and Greeks were adepts at lock-mak-
Ing; the Spartans wrought an improve-
ment of which the description is lost.
It Is a historic fact that the downfall
of the Roman empire gave a marked
impetus to the manufacture of wards
and bolts, for Rome had policed the
world and thieves were encouraged by
the disappearance of stromg-armed au-
thority which they had feared. It fs
singular, in view of the prevalence of
padlocks in official employment today.
that the derivation of the first syllable
of the name is uncertain. Webster
says that it may have meant a basket
or pannier,
Legion of Honor Origin
The Legion or Honor, the famous
Srench order, was instituted by Na-
poleon Bonaparte when he was first
consul, May 19, 1802. Although this
order confers honors upon distin-
guished civil servants of the state and
eminent benefactors of humanity, it Is
provided that three-fifths of alt the
medals awarded must go te the offi-
cers and men of the army and navy.
During the World war thousands eof
the medals of the legion were award-
ed to soldiers and public servants.
There are now five classes, the Grand
cross being the highest.
Many American and British citizens
received the medal of the Legion of
Honer, and immediately after the war
it was also conferred upon the mili-
tary leaders of the allies of France.
Builders’ Device
The principle of the entasis, which
18 a swelling or outward curve of the
profile of the shaft of a column or
pillar, is utilized to avoid appearance
of concavity in its middle portion. In
the finest examples of Greek Doric the
swelling is a little below the middle
point of the shaft, but never so great
as to interfere with the steady diminu-
tion of the shaft from the base up-
ward, The entasis is designed partly
to counteract the optical illusion which
would cause the profiles of the shaft
to appar curved:inward if they were
bounded by straight lines. The entasis
is almost invariably introduced in the
spires of English churches.

Many Motorists Don’t Know What the
White Lines Mean.
Solution to Cross-word Puzzle No. 4.
The Motor Vehicle Act of Pennsyl-
vania has been misconstrued by a
number of motorists, Justice of the
Peace and Constables, owing to the
placing of 2 white line on the road by
the State Highway Department. = |
According to the Keystone Auto-'
mobile Club this line is put down by
the Highway Department wholly as a
precautionary measure to guide mo- |
torists around curves and to warn
them of dangerous intersections. |
Section XXV of the Motor Vehicle
Act reads:
The operator of any motor vehicle '
overtaking another vehicle shall pass |
such vehicle on the left, but shall not
attempt to pass any such vehicle at |
intersecting highways, or at the cicss-
ing of any railroad tracks at grade
or at a sharp turn or curve, or on ap-
proaching the crest of a hill where a
full view of the highway ahead for a
distance of two hundred feet is ob-
structed. :
In interpreting this act, certain con-
stables have been making a practice
of summoning motorists before Jus-
tices of the Peace for its violation, if
by chance the wheels of their car hap-
pen to cross, by a few inches, the
white line painted in the centre of the
highway by the Highway Depart-
ment,
In a statement, an official of the
club said: “White lines are painted
on the State highways by the High-
way Department at a great expense
to them. They are put down to warn
motorists of curves, hills and infer-
sections. Careful motorists will ob-
right of the curve and hill lines and
slowing up at an intersection where
so warned. It is not, however, a vio-
lation to cross the line unless the op-
erator of the motor vehicle attempts
to do so in passing a motorist pro-
ceeding in the same direction on a hill
or curve where the view is obscured
for two hunderd feet ahead.
“The Keystone Automobile Club is
strongly in favor of placing white
lines on every hill, curve and inter-
section in the State where it is ad-
visable to «de so. In fact it was
through the suggestion of the club
that the State Highway Department
first used this safety measure of
painting white lines in the center of
highways.”
College Helps Reformatery.
Vocational instructors at the Penn-
sylvania. Industrial Reformatory at
Huntingdon have enrolled in a ped-
agogy class organized hy the teacher
training extension department of the
Pennsylvania State College. Profes-
sor W. P. Loomis, head of the college
department, on a visit to the Reform-
atory launched the course and will
visit there at regular intervals
throughout the winter to conduct a
course of training for 28 men engag-
ed as instructors of the boys at the
Reformatory. Great interest has been
shown in the course, and General
Superintendent J. W. Herron believes
that the resulting effect on the effi-
ciency of the Reformatory training
will be highly beneficial to the boys
sent there. .

New Snow Fences to Line Highways.
The State Highway Department has
purchased 500,000 feet of new snow
fence to protect Pennsylvania high-
ways from drifting snow. The new
fence, which comes in huge rolls,
when set up looks like the old-fash-
ioned “slat fence.” It is strung along
the highways and attached to iron
posts for supports. The new type
costs about one-third less than the old
style lateral snow breakers.
When the winter season is over the
new type of fence can be rolled up and
conveniently stored in sheds, whereas
it is necessary to let the old type of
snow breakers remain in position all
the year around or take it down piece
by piece.
Last winter highway foremen and
engineers made notes of the spoty
where snow was most likely to drift
along highways, and the new fence is
being strung up at those points.
Farmers having corn fields along
highways who leave corn shocks out
all winter have been asked to set the
feet from the highway to act as a
snow breaker, and many farmers are
complying with this request.
