Alice Bamford, of State College, i Moon and Earthquakes After studying the records of more than 1,200 earthquakes in California which have occurred since 1812. a Pa. cific coast scientist comes to the in- teresting conclusion that all the quakes came when the moon was in a cer: tain quarter. The quakes occur on a fault-line, or crack in the substructure of the earth’s crust. It was found that when the fault-line ran in a north- westerly direction the earthquake would come when the moon was be- tween the meridian and the western horizon, or when it had not yet arisen FARM NOTES. —Most men will do fairly well to keep an ordinary supply of live stock in good condition and, paying its way. —This year there is a nation-wide movement among sheep raisers to put on a docking and castrating campaign. —As in the case of all other live stock, care and attention are the main essentials in producing good hogs for early market. —A good hog oiler kept filled with old crank-case oil, diluted with coal and was in the directly opposite pe- oil, and a little coal tar dip added, sition.

In view of the de- velopment of this form of communi- cation and its present high efficiency it is interesting to note some of these early comments, J. Fennimore Cooper author of the famous Leather-stocking Tales, wrote to Morse on January 31. 1838, as follows: “My dear friend: 1 wish you all success with the tele: graph, which might be made very use ful for long distances. Your difficulty will be in communicating between more than two stations, for half a dozen sparks traveling on the same wire will play the devil with the reg- isters.” The Western Union today sends as many as eight messages over one wire at the same time by ingeni ous automatic devices, li Chocolate Ancient Beverage Chocolate was a favored drink on this continent long before the arrival of the white man. It was extensively used by the Aztecs and before them the Toltees. A Florentine who had resided in the West Indies finally in- was admitted on Friday for medical treatment.

STUTSMAN GIVEN : FEDERAL APPOINTMENT Jesse O. Stutsman, former warden at the Rockview penitentiary and since retiring from that institution a resident of Bellefonte, has been appointed superintendent of the new ‘federal detention headquarters in New York city, according to an an- nouncement from Washington last Friday. Mr. Stutsman has been away from Bellefonte this week and it has been impossible to ascertain when he will enter upon the duties of his appointment. While serving as superintendent of the Detroit house of correction Mr. Stutsman was selected by Governor Pinchot, shortly "after he became Governor, as warden of Rockview penitentiary to succeed John Fran- cies, resigned. He remained at ‘Rockview through practically all of the Pinchot administration then re- signed. He moved into Bellefonte, having purchased the old Gordon home, on Curtin street. During his residence in Bellefonte Mr. Stutsman has devoted some of his time to writing, having written a book on prison management and care of in- mates. ee A ——A large black dog bit Emmy Lou Craig, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Craig, of Curtin street, on the right leg, just as she left her home to go to school last Friday after- noon. The dog sank its fangs into the tender flesh and it was with difficulty that it was driven away by other children. A hastily summoned physician cauterized the wound and so far the little girl has shown no ill effects. The dog is a stray, with- out any collar or tag andso far has not been located in Bellefonte.

Its introduction into Prussia was pro hibited by Frederick the Great. A fa- mous Paris physician, Bochot, on the other hand, proclaimed e¢acao one of the most noble of discoveries, far more worthy to be the food of the gods than nectar and ambrosia, and Linnaeus, noted Swedish botanist, who gave cacao its scientific christening, coined a name, “Theobroma,” from two Greek words, meaning “food for the gods.” which remains its secien- tific name today. A Promise Although she had never been mar- ried at all her views on remarriage were very strict. So, of course, she had to call on the young divorcee and tell her so. Frankness was one of the virtues on which she prided herself, so the con- versation had not progressed far be- fore she declared to the young bride, “Pardon my saying so, but don’t you think you might have waited more than a month after your divorce to marry your second husband?” “Oh, do you really think s0?” re- plied the bride, “I'll make it a point to wait longer next time.” Midget Kangaroos Australia has more than 100 varie- | ties of animals in which the mother carries her young in a pouch on her stomach, says James T. Nichols in Successful Farming Magazine. “The most noted of all these an} mals is the kangaroo,” he writes, “of which there are a half hundred varie- ties. Some kangaroos are small as a rat and others are so large that when standing on their toes they are taller than a man. Although a kangaroo is a hardy animal, at birth it is very small, often but little larger than a mouse.” Patience Is a Virtue A rather unusual man once said te the writer: “I let most of my mail lie on my desk 30 days unanswered. After that time I generally find little of it needs to be answered.” This habit is not without its drawbacks, but there is something in it. Most of the things that worry us are really trivial. If we had the patience to go slowly, to let them wait, to hold our tongue, so many things would settle themselves. So many things we argue about and even quarrel about would disappear if left alone,—Philadelphia Star. Primitive Home Life morning. The Samoans have no bath- tubs. They bathe daily in the cool mountain streams. Their furnishings are limited to pots or gourds. Pebbles on the bare ground replace carpets. The Fgyptian peasant along the Nile lives in a clay house.

An- other common belief was that folds around the neck and shoulders of a sheep was an indication of a fleece of superior quality and value. An- other idea commonly held was that the weather exercised a controlling influence in the quality and quantity of wool. . Research work by the United States Department of Agriculture has disproved two of these ideas and confirmed the other, but with a highly important modification. To bring out the facts, the department workers have for years carried on pains taking investigations, using methods which they admit seem wasteful and useless until the meth- ods and results are understood. The bureau of animal industry maintains a flock of sheep in east- ern Idaho. Each June at shearing time each sheep is identified, weigh- | ed, and sheared. The staple is meas- ured. The fleece is weighed. A sample is inclosed in a tin contain- {er and sent to the United States Ex- | periment farm, Beltsville, Md. In the wool laboratory skilled workers dry the samples in an electric con- ditioning oven and get the moisture- free weight. They remove grease with carbon tetrachloride and the dirt by a special scouring process. Another drying makes possible a de- termination of the weight of clean wool and of dirt. Thus it is possible to compile a complete record of each sheep's production each year and for successive years. These records have disproved the first two ideas which were widely be- lieved. Weather does make some dif- ference in wool production, but there is much more difference between in- dividual sheep in one season than there is between flocks in different : This points the wisdom of | : : colored like dawn, foaming with del- constant culling of low-ylelding ewes toute Jace.

W. Sheets, | who is in charge of the Department of Agriculture. : —It has been demonstrated many times by experiment stations as well as by thousands of producers that hogs do better and make larger gains from a given amount of feed when they have constant access to water. Normally a hog drinks only small gquantites at a time, but it likes to drink often. It will drink several times during one feeding period when it can run to a self-feeder at will. When the feed is thrown on the ground or on a feeding floor where the individual hog must eat incom- petition with a large group it will so long as there is grain to eat. But when it can run to a self-feeder it soon learns that there will be plenty of feed left when it returns. Then it begins to eat more deliberately and to drink several times before it has : satisfied its hunger. —When steers are shipped to mar- ket there is always some shrinkage or loss in weight. By proper hand- ling it is possible to reduce this loss. Steers which have been getting a full feed of corn and alfalfa hay should have their grain somewhat reduced a day or two before shipping and given mostly prairie hay or fodder in place of alfalfa. Steers which have been getting a good deal of silage should be fed dry fodder be- fore shipment to market. Arrange to ship so that the cattle will arrive at the stock yards during the night or early in the mo! so they can take on a fill before the buyers bid on them. —Pullets can be taught to roost but certain precautions must be tak- en. ‘Much of the difficulty in teach- ing pullets to roost can be over- come,” says County Agent R. C. : Blaney, if the roosts are accessible ‘and there are no other objects ip , the pen for pullets to perch on.” Nests should be closed at night to discourage the practice of roosting in them. The mash hopper also should be constructed so that the birds cannot roost on them. A light- ing board half of the distance from the floor to the perch often aids in , getting the birds of heavy breeds to roost. The earlier the birds are | taught to roost after they are put "in their new quarters the easier it | will be. Rural Japanese housewives roll up | cheir beds and store them away every | —January and February are the months when all flocks should be fed heavily, says T. S. Townsley, ex- tension poultry specialist of the Mis- souri College of Agriculture. By January 1 most of the pullets ought to be mature and ready to lay, while the majority of hens should be through the molt. Conseauently with proper feed, egg production ought to pick up rapidly during January and February and reach its maximum during March or April. —~Subseribe for the Watchman. 1 lid, and gently, by its shoulder rib- 71-16-tf LUMBER?

They sat still. Madeline listened to the heart, and then she listened absently to the sounds from the street outside. Summer evening sounds, con- fused and pleasant. Children shouting. Car horns. A player-piano in the house across, playing “Rio Rita.” Madeline's lashes dropped. She felt drowsy, steeped in peace. Her hand stole up and touched Johnny's face. “Isn’t this nice?” she murmured. “Aren’t we—happy?” The quick intake of his breath was like a sob. It startled her. She lift- ed her head, and her gray eyes were wide, probing his. “Oh, what?” she almost Then he told her. At first she didn’t believe it. He was wrong. He was mistaken. What he said could not be true. Somehow it had not occurred to her that old Mrs. Lane, being mortal, must go the way of every mortal thing. She had thought of her as living on and on in the little gray house looking just the same, crying, “How? How's that ?”’ to Johnny’s mother, forever. Then all at once it was clearly true. Old Mrs. Lane was dead. Her little house would be sold or let; and when September came, Johnny's mother wouldn't go—anywhere. ! “And,” said Madeline slowly, | thinking aloud, “we're right where | we were.

She removed the bons, lifted out the gossamer frag- ment. Bits of tissue-paper fell un- heeded to the floor, drifting like plumes. “Isn’t it—beautiful, Johnny?” “Gee, it is,” he said, staring dully. “It is new?” Madeline held it over her dress. She caught it close at the hip, and pointed her toe, and turned this way and that, gazing down. She had for- fotten Johnny. “Beautiful,” she breathed. “I never had anything so beautiful.” Suddenly she remembered him; caught what he had said. “Um-hum. New,” she answered. “I got it to- day.” Her gray eyes lifted, grazed him, went beyond him. “I bought it for—Atlantic City.” Then she was crying, clutched tight in his arms. ng as if her heart would break. And she had a' dim sense that he was crying too, that the tears on her face were not all her tears, and the sobs that shook them both not all her sobs. They clung together desperately, like two in a storm, who fear to stir apart lest it destroy them. Long they clung like that till their anguish spent itself and all the tears they had were cried away. Till their kisses grew less pitiful, more fierce. Till it came to them that waiting, after two years of waiting, was a cold and a futile, useless thing. Mrs. Dietz was reading a maga- zine with rough gray leaves and a red-lipped, sloe-eyed cover.

To remedy his condition all electrical connections in the battery circuit should be kept tight and free from corrosion, and the generator charging rate should be decreased by adjusting the third brush. “Scores of cars encountered on highways haye dim headlamps, re- sulting from low voltage or a rusted, tarnished reflector. The cause of low voltage may be either loose or corroded electrical connections in the lamp circuits, or a generator charg- ing. rate too low for the individual driver’s requirements. All electrical connections in the lamp should be kept tight and free from corrosion, and the generator charging rate should be increased by adjusting the third brush. “The operator so careless of his equipment that his lamps are dim, or his bulbs continually burning out, is also of that careless category which carries no extra bulbs and operates at night with only one headlamp burning.” THE FUTURE OF THE SMALL TOW.

The development of interconnected electric systems and the consequent decrease in small, local plants is rap- idly changing all this. Now thou- sands of towns receive the same high grade service, at the same low rates, that is provided in great cities. And many of them are gradually coming into prominence as industrial centers. The small town can offer the ad- vantages of unlimited space, reliable labor and pleasant living and work- ing conditions that the great city lacks. And wih the adjunct of power, it can make an almost irresistible appeal to all manner of industries. ————On account of the absence of Rev. H. E. Martin, C. C.
