Egyptian Had First
Idea of Steam Power
Every now and then some inven-
tor files an application in the patent
office which is squarely anticipated by
one or another of the inventions of
one Hero or Heron, who lived, so it
appears, in Alexandria a hundred or
so years before the Christian era, say#
a writer in the Kansas City Star.
Some of his inventions are fairly
familiar to students of physics, but
as they are not in use in the exact
form in which he developed them ther
are not generally known as such.
Among others he developed an ap-
paratus for causing the doors of a
temple to open after a fire had been
kindled on an altar outside. The heat
of the fire caused expansion of con-
fined air which forced water Into
gome vessels suspended by cords and
grranged, when heavy enough, to pull
back the leaves of the door. This
must have been a great mystery ir
Ais time.
Another, and one of the most grace-
ful ideas of this or any other inventor,
was his reaction steam engine. The
principle of this was identical with
the little rotary lawn-sprinklers now
in use which whirl rapidly around
throwing water over a circular area.
Hero arranged a vessel of water,
with two arms extending from its top,
so that it could readily spin on an
axils. Heat was applied beneath so
as to boil the water. The steam
rushed out from the extended arms,
which were provided with outlets ex-
actly as in the little lawn sprinklers,
so that the reaction from the jets of
steam kicked the arms around and
«pun the whole affair.
Whether or not he ever developed
this apparatus in sufficient dimensions
to get power from it we are not sure.
It is more than likely that he may
have utilized it for producing a very
small amount of power. It remains
the great-grandfather of all reaction
steam engines, reaction turbines and
other like devices of a now numerous
family, all of which utilize this prin-
ciple which Hero seems to have been
the first to figure out.
Married Woman’s Career
Can the married woman keep up
outside work and run her home prop-
erly at the same time? A 9 to 5 o'clock
job, combined with home-making and
housekeeping, is certainly too much to
ask of any woman. If there are chil-
dren to be looked after, all sorts of
complications arise: there must be a
good, faithful and intelligent servant,
and every housekeeper knows that the
species is nearly extinct. Or, the chil-
dren must be sent to a day nursery or
to school at an early age. Such in-
stitutions are poor substitutes for a
happy home life. The regular job,
then, is out so far as wives and moth-
ers of the middle and lower classes
are concerned. We must look else-
where for the married woman's career,
and we find it in a diversity of inter-
ests that do not demand the whole of
an individual's time, in social work, in
writing, in teaching, in little theater
movements, or in music.—The Musical
Observer.
Night Baseball Coming
“Five years ago in the world
series between the New York Giants
and Yankees it cost the owners of the
two clubs $100,000 to call a gaine be-
cause of darkness,” says Billy Evans,
big league umpire in a magazine ar-
ticle. Enraged fans protested the um-
pire’s ruling at the end of the tenth
inning with the score a tic and Com-
missioner Landie ordered the whole
receipts of the day turned over to
charity. “Just think how soft it would
have been if the umpire had needed
only to call the groundkeeper and say
Let there be light. I have no doubt
that in a short time lights for outdoor
sports will have extended the playtime
of the nation until long after sundown.
Baseball at night will offer a new
venture that should prove highly suc-
cessful.”
Microbe Organs Revealed
A microscope so powerful that it is
able to show the interior organs of a
microbe was displayed at a reeent
meeting of the Royal society in Lon-
don. The instrument has a magnify-
ing power of 3,500.

ter of Policeman Hugo G. Geis-

An immediate operation,
known as “intubation,” was all
that could save her; Dr. D. J.
Poia, ten miles away, started
to Jane's bédside in an ambu-
lance, with Miss Marion Raitzel,
a nurse, and Gustave Schmidt,
driver. Anether vehicle cut
across Schmidt's course. The
ambulance swerved and crashed
into a steel trolley pole, a com-
plete wreck. Its occupants
were severely cut and battered.
The young physician, never-
theless, applied emergency dress-
ing to his companions’ injuries
and his own, then comman-
deered an automobile, which
rushed him and the nurse to the

Demarest successfully operated

Greater Safety in Flying Is Expected
as the Result of Jenkins’
Invention.
ms
Washington.—A. propeller-reversing
device which, it is announced, will
permit an airplane to be brought to
a stop within twice its own length
after it touches the ground, has been
evolved by C. Francis Jenkins of
Washington.
Announcing his new invention, for
which a patent has been issued, Mr.
Jenkins said that it would now be
possible to establish air fields directly
in cities and on the roofs of large
buildings and eliminate the “slow and
costly hauling of mail, express, and
passengers from suburban fields ts
their real destination.
“Phe reversing lever Is so geared,”
he explained, “that it cannot be
moved while the plane is in the air,
thereby eliminating the danger that
the pilot might accidentally pull the
lever. When the airplane strikes the
ground, a Spring automatically re-
leases the safety guard on the revers-
ing control and the aviator is free to
bring his plane to rest on ground,
deck, or sea, almost as instantaneous-
ly as a bird ceases flight.”
Other benefits of the new device
sere outlined thus:
“The general use of airplanes for
suburb to city passenger service is
brought nearer.
“Jt is now possible to bring a sea.
plane to rest in the lee of a battleship,
saving both plane and pilot under
storm conditions,
*planes can approach landing fields
at a greater rate of speed than before
has been possible.
“mragedies like the wrecking of the
giant Sikorsky plane, which failed to
rise in its attempted flight to Paris,
will be safeguarded against. With the
new device, the aviator, when he real-
izos that his take-off is a failure, cap
stop the plane.”
ath of Disaster Left

Bellingham, Wash.—A grinding ice-
perg, 300 feet wide and 2,000 feet long,
ended a seven-mile trip in which it
destroyed everything in its path,
when it was broken up in the Nook-
sack river, 35 miles from here.
The great mass of ice was broker.

a few days ago.
Trees, railroads and bridges wer
sither swept aside or ground to bits.
The ground over which the glacier
passed is bare of even remnants of
anything which stood there before, ac-
cording to A. S. Athern, state forest
ranger.
The beds of Glacier creek and the
middle fork of Nooksack river were
torn wide for a depth of more than
30 feet and a width of 100 feet.
Damage to tracks and bridges oi

company was estimated at $50,000.
Pieces of the great iceberg as large

pathway where they were broken off.
Caters to Motorists;
Pastor Fills Church
London.—“Sunday motorists who
wish to call in at my church can park
their cars in the drive and use my
garden,” announced Rev. W. H. Ridg-
way, vicar of Tarvin, recently :
As a result of the invitation, which
mcludes the right for motorists who
accept to have their lunch in the
vicar's garden after attending services
at the church, every Sunday there is a
long row of motor cars in the rectory
drive; and the vicar preaches to a
crowded church,
Vicar Ridgway’s idea also encour
.ges motorists from the city to visit
the ancient churches in the neighbor-
hood through which they pass and,
with this object in view, the vicar is
planning to form a sort of motoring
guild of which regular members will
be a nucleus of sporting churchgoers.

Former Marshal Tells of
Past of Hunnewell, Old
Cow Town.
South Haven, Kan.—Persons in
southern Kansas have the notion Hun-
newell, a little town four miles south
of here, just a half-mile from the
Oklahoma line, was a bad place in
the early days. But “Miny” Edwards
says that’s mosly bunk.
“Miny,” whose initials are T. M. and
whose nickname is pronounced with
a long “i” was there when Hunnewell
arrived on a Santa Fe freight train
one sunny June day back in 1880,
and he has been there ever since.
Moreover, he was marshal of the
town in the days when it was re-
puted to be a trifle rough. So when
“Miny” Edwards says the lurid sto-
ries folks tell about Hunnewell are
mostly bunk, one must lend a believ
ing ear.
Romance Blasted High.
The debunking of Hunnewell’'s his-
tory occurred the other afternoon on
the shady side of the street here.
“Miny” sat on a bench on the curb,
gazing out at the prairies that he has
seen change from the open cattle
range of 50 years ago to yellow wheat
fields. A newspaper man, “Miny’s”
audience, sat on the fender of a truck
and listened sadly while the romance
of the cow country was blasted kits
igh.
“You can hear some of these
younger fellows tell about the way
the cowpunchers used to kill each
other off down at Hunnewell,” the
early day marshal expostulated. “Buf
‘here’s nothing to it.”
“Oh, sure, the boys used to shoot
up the town every little while, but
they didn’t mean anything by it.”
You know, I sort of kept track of the
folks shot to death in Hunnewell, and
as near as I can count, there were
only 13. Others got injured, but only
13 were actually killed.”
After this declaration about the
peace and quiet in Hunnewell back in
the unromantic ’S0’s, the old marshal
and cattle man lasped into silence.
His audience ventured to tell a story
he had heard about a shooting scrape
in the big old hotel that still stands
by the Santa Fe tracks in Hunnewell,
a weatherbeaten old ghost of the
boom days. But “Miny” said briefly
the yarn couldn’t be true, and again
lapsed into speechlessness. Obviously
if there were only 13 persons slain in
early-day Hunnewell, you couldn’t
have a dozen or so getting killed in
one evening's jollification.
Presently the early-day marshal be
came more loquacious. He told about
a great open cattle range that
stretched mile after dreary mile down
through the Indian country, the land
that is now Oklaltbma, on through
the ranges of Texas to Old Mexico
and the gulf. Edwards used to ride
those ranges and he knows the rigors
of the old cattle trail from Texas to
the rail points in Kansas.
Saloons Were Plentiful.
In the spring of 1880 the Santa Fe
railroad pushed its line down as far
as Hunnewell. Freight trains puffed
in, bringing the town. Overnight a
city of tents sprang up and every
other tent was a saloon or a gam-
bling joint. Within a few days the
freight cars began to unload timber,
and frame buildings arose. Within
two weeks a town of 500 population
with several rather substantial frame
buildings had risen where before there
was nothing but the bare sweep of
the buffalo grass.
Up the long, dusty trail from the
(ndian country and Texas came the
bellowing herds of longhorns to be
loaded onto the cars at Hunnewell.
And with them came the singing,
shootin’, happy-go-lucky punchers,
Edwards ran the stock yards at
| dunnewell a time, back in the days
when there were 13 logding chutes,
when the old hotel was full of punch-
ers day and night.
Then in 1883 he became the marshal.
3ut he didn’t have a particularly bad
time, he says. “Miny” would have
the world know that the law was en-
forced then just as well as—perhaps
better than now.
“What did you do when a bunch oi
punchers started shooting up the
town?”
“Arrested them, of course.” “Miny”
Adwards is a small man, but he has a
way about him even now, nearly a
half century after those stirring days.
«The thing that made Hunnewell
boom,” said Edwards, “was the ship-
ping of cattle. And when the wheat
came and the cattle went, Hunnewell’s
pest days were over.” “Miny” in-
sisted upon discussing prosaic things.
“Were there many outlaws at that
time down in the country that is now
Oklahoma?” The newspaper man was
thinking of the many hair-raising
yarns that he had understood centered
about Hunnewell.
“Probably no more than there are

UNCTIONAL inactivity of the
kidneys permits a retention of
waste poisons in the blood. Symp-
toms of this toxic condition are a
dull, languid feeling, drowsy head-
aches and, sometimes, toxic beack-
ache and dizziness. That the kidneys
are not functioning as they should is
often shown by scanty or burning
passage of secretions. Many readers
have learned the value of Doan’s
