(DIDN'T KNOW CURLING IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful
Member of Chicago Jury Was Not
a Married Man.
Mvery mail knows what a curling
iron is, but does every man know
. whether or not a curling iron is a
P deadly weapon?
I The question was raised in Jud^e
f Gucrin's court in Chicago recently in
the Otto Mathis murder tr,v\ Otto
said he stabbed his brother, Edward,
when Edward attacked him with a
curling irou, which he thought a dangerous
weapon. The judge ruled a description
of the implement was unnecessary,
as everybody knew what it
was.
"Sure, I know," one spectator whispered
to another. "A curling iron is
one of those hot things that burn your
fingers when you are fumbling around
m among the things on your wife's dressing
table."
"It looks like a pair of scissors with
*4 wo<Hlen handles," said the other.
"And it's deadly, too," a woman
-whispered. "Mazie got hers too hot
the other night and the way it killed
a lot of her hair was a caution."
"Fortunately," another woman an-|
swered, "the curling iron hath no miseries
that peroxide cannot cure."
Assistant State's Attorney Daniel j
namsay insisted mere mignt De single
men on the jury. The judge glanced
knowingly at the jurors. The youngest
looked bewildered. So Judge
\ Guerin ordered a description of the
weapon supplii.-d. The youngest juror
appeared relieved when he heard what
it was.
WORK FOR HIGH EXPLOSIVES
French Scientist Suggests Their Use
In the Reclamation of WarDevastated
Orchards.
The vigorous growth of wild plants
about shell holes has suggested to M.
Andre Piedallu a novel plan for quickly
restoring war-devastated orchards.
The vigor of the weeds is attributed
- partly to the Assuring of the soil by
the shell-fire and Dartly to nitrogenous
substances introduced, and in the pro<posal
to the French Academy it is
concluded that an ideal orchard soil
could be produced by breaking up the
rough surface with dynamite in such
a way that fertilizing material would
be driven into the soil. The fertilizer
would be compressed in paper or
celluloid cases around cylinders of the
explosive, which would be fired by a
fnl mi no finer nhnrw TTnlps fnr the
cartridges about two feet deep would
l>e bored with a stick or iron rod. and
In the spherical cavity about 30 inches
^ <!eep produced by the explosion, the
young tree would be placed and covered
with the fertiliser-charged soil.
Perhaps some of the enormous stores
of high explosives left over from the
war could be utilized in this way. A
suggestion already made is that the
United States could put to use some of
Its 50,000,000 or 100,000,000 tons of
*TNT for reclaiming arid deserts, irrigating
ditches being dug and roads
graded by firing trains of the explosive
placed along the surface.

Dog Got the Rabbit.
Exploration of caves in South Berkshire,
Coni, resulting in the discovery
4>f stalactites and stalagmites, big white
spiders weaving their webs, bats inf
crusted in the crystals and a submarine
brook, made Jack Newboy of Lenoxdaje
recall the day that he went
ratijMt hunting in the Patterson woods.
Newboy's dog chased a rabbit into
a cave. Jack waited outside foi1 results.
He waited two hours, called the
dog, and, getting no results, went
home. Hfr found the dog was at home
" and had the rabbit. Pat, his brother,
explained:
"I was fishing on a lake not far
from the shore when I hoard a commotion
In the water near by and wns stir
prised to see a rabbit in th*> water, j
'As I reached the spot the dog came to i
the surface, swam after the rabbit aud
raptured him."?New York World.
In Daddy's Heart.
At Sunday school Dorothy's teacher
attempted to explain to the children
about keeping their hearts clean and
filled with certain desirable qualities.
She urged them to think seriously
about what they had in their hearts.
"Dorothv's hand went ud. The teacher
gave her permission to speak.
"My daddy has nutpicks in his
heart"
J Now -the teacher was sufficiently interested
in the psychology of the thing
to go to the mother for the explanation.
Dorothy had recently attended
a wedding with her parents. When !
ihey were looking at the wedding pres- j
ents her mother had laughingly turned
to daddy and said:
"John, i wish you would open up
your heart and give me a handsome
set of nutpicks like these."
