HAS NEW IDEA IN SCULPTURE \ Tennessee Girl Uses Dried Apples to Fashion Her Models of the Human Form Divine. Down in Knoxville, Tenn., lives Miss Isabel Million, who has erealotf a new and distinct art. To he hrirf, she ha* ; developed dried apple sculpture with rpinnrkflhln results. For years Miss Million has been ir- : terested in the various types of niout- j tnineers who come down to her j ther's store to trade. Having artistic ability, she tried a good many times 1 to model their quaint and weather- ' beaten faces by the conventional methods of sculpture, but the results did n/-?f citicfv hor <"lnA #?\-pnin<* wtiilp "VI CMVA.7.J - n' , cutting apples to dry them for the fu-' ture. she picked up a piece of par- ; tially dried apple and noted its strik- ; Ing resemblance to the wrinkled face ; of the usual elderly mountaineers, whom she was endeavoring to portray. Taking up a sharp knife, she did a little cuttinc so as to fashion the wrinkled apple into a human face. The ; .outcome was most successful; she saw possibilities in this newly discovered art; and she set to work experimenting in dried apple sculpture. Little by little she became quite expert in making dolls whose heads are simply dried apples, cleverly nit before they are dried. Miss Million has found a satisfac- i tory preservative with which she var- j nishes the dried apple heads when they . have reached the desired state of dry- \ ness. The costumes and accessories ; are carefully copied from life; in- ! deed, Miss Million always has some , particular person in mind when she i evolves a little doH with a dried apple face.?Scientific American. ! j HOME OF FAMOUS ORATORS I I Eminent Men Who Have Occupied the : Pulpit of "Spurgeon's Tabernacle," London, England.

Benjamin Keach. John 0111. John Rippon, and others?and gives the following interesting ineident: "Coming to more recent days, it is Just thirty years ago since a trustee of the tabernacle spoke to Spurgeon about an American preacher named Dixon, who had spoken at the world's Sunday-school convention. Spurgeon at. once invited a af 4-Via frihnmor?1a Tf" fi iv npuaifc At uir iu(/\/iuui iv. *t interesting to recall the fact that they , might easily have been associated lon? before. Dr. Dixon's father, who sustained a pastorate of nearly f>0 years In a church In a >\*ood. in front of !which he is burled, thought Spurge??n was the greatest preacher since Pnnl. He longed for his son to have a course of study at Spurgeon's college. Young Dixon sent in his application. Spurgeon's reply was: "My dear sir. yon can find Institutions in your own coun-' try better adapted to yonr case. Please accept this as final." Of course. It was i In that way that the great preacher tested the persistence of hi*,candidates.' A. C\ Dixon took hiin at his word, and never applied again. He was. however. ' destined to more than fulfill his fa-, ther's desires, and following men like Spurgeon. and A. G. Brown, he has thoroughly maintained the tabernacle's great traditions." , | Use of Metals in the War. | I A German expert has been compil- * !ng some statistics of the use of metals In the war. He says that\if the Iron and steel used by Germany alone in 45 months of war were forged into a ring which went round the equator, each meter would weigh 30 hundredweight. Tf the mass of metal were made into a w.\H along the battle fronts?r>r 2X?00 miles?a yard hitrl? and a yard thick, each yard would weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany sent to the front every week more guns than were used in the whole of the Franco-Prussian war. Twenty-four hours consumed more than did the whole of the earlier war. The moral he draws is that such things were only nrtcoiHio hofflnw Hermanv had been wise enough before the war to conquer the world's mark'ets^ind oust her enemies. Microbes in Our Clothes. Apropos of the liability of demobilized soldiers to contract colds as soon as they tret into "civies" a correspondent suggests chat probably the | civilian clothes are the cause, wheth- _ er they be wanner than the uniforms or not. Sir Ernest Shackleton had something to say about this matter on his return from the antarctic. Not- (> withstanding the intensely low temper- ? atures and almost incessant blizzards b experienced, colds were quite unknown a until a bale of clothing brought froin F England was opened. The next day j f there was an epidemic of colds in thejj party, and sir Ernest's explanation !_ was that the trouble was caused by i microbes that had been hibernating, as It were, in the closely packed clothing.
