Destructive Fire at Clarence Last
Friday Evening.
Clarence had quite a destructive
fire, last Friday evening, when the old
residence of David Chambers was
completely destroyed, together with
the most of its contents, a garage and
two other outbuildings. The property
of late had been occupied by Mr.
Chambers’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. An-
drew Chambers. The fire, which was
discovered shortly after 6 o’clock, evi-
dently originated from a defective or
overheated flue, as it was discovered
in the attic of the house and had
developed into quite a blaze when first
geen,
" YHorts to extinguish the flames
were at first confined to the work of
a bucket brigade, but when it was
realized that the fire was gaining an
appeal for help was sent to Belle-
fonte. The Logan fire company re-
sponded with their pumper but as it
took thirty-eight minutes to make the
run over the mountain to Clarence
the fire had gained so much headway
that it was impossible to save any
part of the house and outbuildings,
and the firemen confined their efforts
to saving the buildings of the brick
yard, abutting on the residence prop-
erty, and also the new home of David
Chambers, just across an alley. The
latter was badly seared by the heat
of the flames and some of the water
poured onto it by the firemen got In-
side and did more or less damage, but
the house was saved.
All the buildings destroyed were
fairly well covered by insurance and
'| tke ‘house ‘will | probably be rebuilt.

mystery stunts. The club is directed

college department of music.

charge of the management of the
Scenic theatre that place will con-
tinue to show only the best pictures

offer an evening’s entertainment that
cannot be equalled at any other place
in Bellefonte.

the past year has been manager Mack
Hall’s very efficient assistant in the
Western Union telegraph office, has
resigned her position there and on the

Wasp’s Nest Admitted
a Marvel of Nature |
The solitary wasp called Eumenes '!
amedel attains great excellence alike
in the chase and in the craft of build
ing; it is a “Nimrod and a Vitruvius
by turns.” With minute pebbles and
salivated mortar it builds a finely fin-
fehed cupola about three-quarters of
an Inch in height, the outside of which
is covered with glistening grains of
quartz or sometimes with tiny snail
shells; the orifice at the top is “like
the mouth of an amphora, gracefully
curved, worthy of a potter’s wheel.”
After the mother wasp has placed
an egg in her well-fashioned nest she
adds five to ten small caterpillars. and
1¢ is remarkable that the egg on the
well-stocked nest develops into a fe
male wasp, while that in the meager)
provisioned nest becomes the much
smaller male.
It appears that the stung caterpil
lars that form the living larder inside
the wasp's cell are but imperfectiy
paralyzed, and toss about when
touched. Now, the least pressure
would crush the delicate egg. So it
is bung by a thread from the roof ot
the cupola, and after the Eumcnes
grub hatches it makes the cast she!!
of the egz into a flexible staircase se
that it can reach the caterpillars ana
bite them, yet retreat if they ure
vigorously recalcitrant. This is per
fection.

Scientist Refuses to
Worry Over Spel'ing
Of course “enough” spells “null
and yet “calf” is not spelled *“caugh.”
Schoolboys. seasoned business wen.
not to mention school teachers, often
find the spelling of the English lan
guage a bit troublesome. But here is
a one-time . university professor and
now eminent scientist who not only
admits that spelling “gets him rat
tled,” but goes so far as to invent
his own form of spelling, which exact:
ly follows out the sound of the word.
Hence we find such sentences as
these in a recently issued volume by
the anthropological department of a
university museum:
“Hiz bhaid wuz stil black.”
“The two ritings when they wer
don, ov course wer not alike.”
“Some paragrafs ov hiz own wer
dropt.”
“] say az nearly az possible be-
cauz—"
The author of the volume, which is
the translation of a legend of the
Kerchi Indians of Guatemala, is Rob-
ert Burkitt, an Englishman,
No Egyptian Tobacco
although Egypt cuts a big notch in
the map of northern Africa, only a
narrow strip along 960 miles of the
Nile is arable or habitable. In an
area which is about equal to that of
Maryland, more than nine times Mary-
land's population, or some 13,000,000
people, must be fed. It is necessary.
therefore, says the National Geograph-

act stringent regulations concerning
the use of this land. Tobacco grow-
ing is prohibited. Farming land is
much too precious to be used for lux-
uries, especially for such soil-enervat-
ing luxuries as tobacco. Egypt has
many cigarette factories an. ias cigar-
ette makers are skilled in curing and
blending tobacco, but the leaf is ob-
tained elesewhere, generally frem the
Levant, or from the islands of the
Aegean archipelago.
Stupendous but Useless
Sixty centuries ago a stupendous
stone structure was built covering the
equivalent of 16 city blocks, or about
13 acres. It stretched its pointed
apex nearly 500 feet heavenward, and
has stood through all times as a mon.
ument to the man who reared it as a
colossal mausoleum to house his king-
ly bones.
One hundred thousand men, says
the record, toiled under the scorching
sun of Egypt for 30 years to build
that structure. Ninety million cubic
feet of stone piled one upon another
combined to form the Great Pyramid
of Cheops. It was a thousand years
old when Moses led the children out
of Israel through the Red sea.
Not Restful
“Had a good lecture on Alaska.
didn't we, Zeb?” asked one of Mr.
Gorton’s neighbors, meeting him the
next morning. “To sit there by the
radio peaceful as pie for two hours
hearing him reel off the information
was a grand rest for me, beat out
with cranberrying as I be.”
“It was a good enough talk,” ad
mitted Mr. Gorton, grudgingly, “but it
didn’t rest me any to speak of. Hav-
ing to sit stock-still without a chance
to get in a word for two mortal hours,
I was pretty well worn out afterward.
But I took the lantern ont in the wood
shed, and by the time I'd split up a
week's kindling, I felt kind of rested
and calmed down.”—Kansas City Star.
