Benoni ald Bellefonte, Pa., August 31, 1928. EE ——————————————— SE — Insanity Not Often Caused by Overstudy “It is a fallacy jo oelieve that overs study causes insanity. Overstudy like any mental overwork causes a state of exhaustion and brain fag. Teco much study, which prevents the en- Joyable realities of play and recrea= tion, will not cause a mental breake down in a person who is not liablq to insanity,” states Dr. Alexander 8 Hershfield, [llinois state alienist. “It is admitted that among thosa students who devote too much timaq to learning and to making high grad there are many who are normal mens tally. Mental disease and overstudy, are common enough to be found tos gether occasionally. A well-balanced poy or girl finds sports, friendships and sex of sufficient importance tq act as an antidote to overstudy and general school grind. In fact, it ig ‘normal for youth to find study irks some when it interferes with its, fun, “Insanity resulting from overstud Js merely a coincidence. and close examination of such a case will usu (aly show other causes.” ¥ ‘Operator Cut In on Concert for Invalid & young man of the city, contined {¢0 bis howe with a bad throat, ans yewered his telephone svmetimme aftep midnight recently. Three girls of hig acquaintance announced that they had prepared a concert for his exclusive entertainment, and that he shoul” “please stand by.” " The girls then put their telephonq at one end of their piano, and got § ukulele to fill out the harmony. Al} ‘three of them (semiprofessionals, by .the way) sang to the soft accompanis ment, doing all the popular songs of the moment, to the unbounded joy of ithe sick young man, who had been dying for company all evening, They ‘continued for the better part of an hour, when suddenly an operator cul’ iim, presumably to tind out why they [were holding the phone so long. Sha’ jihad begun a sharp tirade when thq music got the best of her. She lists. ‘ened silently and then in a minute shq broke in and requested a song.—Cleves ‘land Plain Dealer. nin x Plants Reveal Ore Several remarkable examples wherq ‘beds of ore were revealed by plantg : growing on the surface above are sun ‘marized by Lidgely in the proceedingg iof the Australian Mining Institute, | {The Amorpha canescens shrub indi! cates the presence of galena, the lead isulphide ore, in Michigan, while in ‘Missouri a plant belonging to the pois ‘son sumach family serves the samg purpose, as a lead ore indicator,’ ‘Beech trees often indicate that limes | stone beds are to be found in thd @eighborhvod. In Spain a sort of .bindweed, known as Convolvulus ath. ‘aeoides, is deemed of high value in betraying the presence of underlying deposits of phosphate ore. The plant :Erigonum ovalifolium discloses the ex. ! _istence of silver ore in Montana. Thq ealamine violet, which grows in uppet | - Silesia, Westphalia and Belgium, is 3 ‘sign of the existence of calamine, the zinc ore, in the neighborhood. Simple Arithmetic A man with a wife and 11 children | many of them grown up, appeared at the entrance to an entertainment hall,’ bought two tickets, and demanded that the entire family should be ads | mitted. ‘The doorkeeper declined to admly | them with only two tickets. “But all these are my children,” saiq . the man. “Qf course,” said the doorkeeper) ; “but some of them are too old to be -admitted free.” “Too old? What's that to do with 14t? Doesn't it say on your bills that ichildren under twelve are admitted {free with parents?” : “Yes.” “Well, I've got 11 children, and i} +11 children aren't under twelve, I'm | peat.” ’ Cultivated Sponges Sponges are now cultivated like grain, It is strange to think of beds {of sponges cultivated under the sea, but this is no stranger, after all, than beds of oysters. The method is to cut up very fine, dealthy, living sponges—a sponge ig quite as lively as an oyster—into seeds. ‘These seeds, about half an inch in diameter, are wired to blocks of ce- ment and dropped into the submarine sponge bed. They mature in two years, The best sponges—those large, blond, fine fellows called bath sponges—coma ‘from Florida. It takes them a full ten years to grow to bath size. $ Getting the Right Word A little girl in Topeka was explain- ing to her grandfather that the pene dulum of the clock had been broken. “What's the matter with the clack?” her grandfather asked. “The percolator broke.” replied the tittle girl “What is that?” asked the grand. father, “The percolator?” .4Qh, I don’t mean the percolator,” ceplied the granddaughter, “That Is what you hatch chickens in, isn’t it? —Kansas City Star. USE OLD AUTO TIRES TO MAKE NEW SHOES Saloniki Feasants Use 50,000 Casings a Year. Washington, — Discarded American automobile tires that once were dig- patched to rubber salvaging plants now are being made into shoes for peasants of Saloniki, Greece. It i8 reported that 50,000 casings are im- ported annually to meet the demand Each tire makes three shoes. “Saloniki is ramous as a city of vefuge,” says a bulletin from the Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geographic society. “That fact accounts for its enormous peas- ant population to whom the new foor gear is a luxury. “When the Spaniards persecuted the Jews in the Fifteenth century, some of them fled as far east as Saloniki and their descendants now help make up the city’s large Jewish population, which nun.bers nearly that of the Greeks. And in receni years a human deluge of Greeks who were driven out of Turkey swelled the census figures from about 150.00 to more than 260,000. “The original ‘Salonikans’ are lost in the shuffle of nationalities repre- sented among the inhabitants,” con- tinues the bulletin. “On any busy cor- ner one will see nearly as many dif- ferent races as sit in a session of the League of Nations. There are Greeks from all parts of the peninsula. Albanians, Italians, Russians, Ger- mans and natives of every Balkan state. Some of their families are among the oldest inhabitants, human remnants of the early occupation of the city when it was a football in the hands of empires, including the Mace- donians. Saracens, Normans, Romans Venetians, Bulgarians and Turks. Rival of Constantinople. “Kven with such a mixture, Salo- niki has maintained its prestige as one of the most important ports of southeast Europe. When the Balkan states are at peace and the port is used as an outlet to the sea, it rivals ("onstantinople. “The fine buildings which form a solid wall on the land side of the quay, pierced only by streets leading up into the city, give Saloniki a mod- ern appearance. Here and in the com- mercial district there are shops, cof- fee houses and a few fine old resi- dences. The westerner at once notices a lack of parks and other open spaces, but a peep through an open door to a courtyard in a narrow side street reveals that most of Saloniki’» beauty is hidden behind high walls. “On the hills beyond new cottages of former refugees indicate that Sa- loniki has assimilated many of her newcomers from other lands, but thou- sands of them still live in the squalo- of the Saloniki slums, “In the dirty streets barefoot wemn- en pled the rough cobble with loads of wood tied to their backs that one might hesitate packing on a donkey. Smiling, ragged water boys and girls in tatters carry their heavy jugs. Milkmen, too poor to own carts, are weighted down by two five-gallon cans resting upon their backs until their bodies are at right angles with their legs. Use American Street Cars. “But with all its squalor and pov- erty Saloniki can boast of a glorious past. Several cities have been built on the site since it was founded more than 2,000 years ago. The present one is named for Thessalonike, a half sister of Alexander the Great. Cicero lived there for a time; Nero and Tra- jan decorated the city; it was once the temporary home of three em- perors and it became famous in the Christian world as the place to which St. Paul addressed two of his letters. “Successive fires and pilferings aave destroyed historic landmarks. One of its oldest existing antiquities is Varder street, which cuts across the city. It was a part of the old Roman highway from the Adriatic to the Bosporus, which earlier still was the Royal way of the Macedonia kings. Where the Roman legions, the phalanxes of Alexander and the im- mortals of Xerxes trod its surface, an American street car rumbles, driven by a modern Greek or Spaniard. In its course it runs under an old Roman arch, . “Some of the Saloniki churches survived the fury of the Middle ages and are the finest remains of the past. “The Greeks have suffered by re- .naining in Salonfki under foreign regime, but one source of inspiration to them has been the sight of Mount Olympus towering among the bills to the southwest.” Find Way to Unroll Brittle Manuscript London.—The aid of ultra-modern chemistry has been invoked to sal- vage another relic of the remote past. An ancient leather roll of Egyptian writing had lain unopened for 350 years in the British museum because it was so brittle that no one dared unroll it. Experiments with a brok- en fragment of the leather in the mu- seum’s laboratory, however, finally gave scientists a clew as to how to handle the mysterlous manuscript. Several thin coatings of celluloia vere soaked into the pores of the leather, after which it was cemented with strong celluloid on to a piece of celluloid-treated cheesecloth. In this way it was unrolled without a break and pressed flat between two glass plates to dry. It remained perfectly flat after drying and can now be read with ease. I Silver Utensils Once | Prerogative of Rank In the early days of civilization sterling silver was restricted to royal- ty and the nobility. In fact, we are told that at one period of England’s history the number of sterling silver spoons and suchlike one could own were actually restricted and governed by statute. One could almost recon- struct the regulatory table—one lord, one spoon; one duke, four spoons; one princess, one chest, and so on. Sterling was displayed upon all cere- monial occasions and these aristo- crats of a far past day treasured their s..ver to as great an extent ar the young bride of today. Five hundred years ago, with the advent of the Florentine republic, a new era began, Foreign commerce brought wealth to men of lesser rank, who established magnificent homes and diled them with works of art and beauty, chief among which was sterling. Today sterling silver con- tinues to be the inevitable tableware for the person of discrimination. Its use is not confined to the royal houses. nor even to the tables of the wealthy. It is available for every howe of taste and moderate meuns, say “Bird end Fish” Story by Truthful Angler “Several years ago one of my friends was strip-casting with frogs at night,” relates Seth Briggs in Field and Stream Magazine, “He made a cast of about sixty feet, started to retrieve his line, and feeling a tug struck hard. There was considerable commotion on the end of the line und suddenly the fisherman became very much excited. ‘My line's going right up in the air, he shouted. “Strange as this sounded, it was true. The line had indeed traveled from rhe surface of the water to a position almost directly overhead. The fisherman managed to get hold of the er. of the line, and dropping his rod he started to haul in hand over hand. In an amazingly short space of time there was another occupant in the boat. It proved to be a night heron, which had nailed the frog.” Which only proves that almost any- thing may happen on a fishing trip!” Prized by Numismatists The Numismatist says: “From a source believed reliable it is said that five nickels, in proof, of the Liberty- head type, dated 1913, were struck early in that year. These are all the genuine Liberty-head sype dated 1913 that are known. None passed into cir- culation. The five pieces ware ob- tained from the mint by a gentleman who showed them at the Detroit con- vention of he A. N. A, in August, 1913. Nothing more was heard of them until in December, 1923, when a gn- tleman living in Philadelphia adver- tised in the Numismatist as follows: ‘For sale, five J§-cent Liberty-head 1913 coins, proof, the only five-cent Liberty-head coins of this design and year in existence.’ These were un- doubtedly the five referred to, There is no record of the whereabouts of the presert owner of these coins.” Not a Pet “Kitty” Although Leslie Pizer was only two years old he was just as keen a con- noisseur of cats as the next young man, so when the biggest cat Leslie had ever seen padded into the back- yard and came right up to lie down beside him Leslie was just about the proudest chap in vondon. Such a handsome and affectionate cat should be petted and otherwise encouraged, Leslie thought—but the cat thought otherwise and responded to the touch of the little hand with a disconcert- ing growl, Leslie's mother appeared on the scene in time to snatch her child from the menacing teeth of a leopard. It had escaped from a neigh- boring dealer in wild animals, You Never Can Tell She came into the drug store several times a week to use the telephone booth, giving as a good rerson that the rates were lower than if she tele- phoned from her apartment, and the service more prompt. On every occasion she opened the door as far as it would go and looked carefully into the corners of the booth, so unfailingly that a clerk one day asked the reason. “Seventeen years ago,” she replied, “1 dropped 5 cents on the floor while telephoning, and when [ picked it up I found 30 cents lying right beside it. 1 thought it might possibly happen again.” Expensive Yards Two rival western teams both boast- ed of the prowess of their foothall teams, and a game was arranged. One town bet quite heavily on its team, and to make the result fairly certain, hired a celebrated professional player. Early in the game he made a sensational run of 70 yards to a touch- down—and to the surprise of the spec- tators, was immediately removed from the game. The manager gave this ex- planation: “Why, we guaranteed to pay that guy at the rate of a dollar a yard. Do you think I want to see the town go broke?” Daring and Happiness Girls of today are more daring, but they also are franker. gayer, healthier, and amply more able to take care of themselves, thinks a critic of tife, writ- ing to the Woman's Home Companion.
