The phrase "fire lands" originated in a passage of early history, which also ga-ve rise to the term "western re serve." After the Revolutionary war, when the colonies consented to cede their claims to western lands to con gress. Connecticut reserved from her cession a tract embracing a large part of northern Ohio. The tract thus re served included the present counties of Trumbull, Geauga, Portage and Ash tabula and became known as the west ern reserve. It was settled chiefly by emigrants from Connecticut and was sometimes called New Connecticut. In promoting the settlement of the land Connecticut reserved half a mil lion acres from the western end of the tract for bestowal upon her citizens who had suffered losses during the war. and the lands embraced in this special reserve were called "sufferers' lands" and later "fire lands," because most of the sufferers had been losers by fire. In early times the phrase "fire lands' was sometimes used in deeds in describing the location of land in the tract referred to. - Philadelphia Press. Love of Money. The love of money can hardly be the root of all evil, for It is only one per verse passion out of many. But there is a kind of decorum about money which makes the love of It peculiarly dangerous, since it conceals from the lover the nature and effects of his pas sion. If a man wants too much food, he is evidently greedy. If a woman wants too many clothes, she Is evident ly vain. But money is not a thing, like clothes or food, that can be enjoyed by itself. It Is only a means of getting things that can be enjoyed, and so greed for money is not a direct greed, but indirect. It is a civilized means of conducting the struggle for life, which to a great extent conceals from those who use it the ugliness and the animal nature of that struggle. It Is, In fact, a kind of diplomacy, politely conduct ed, behind which there Is war. But the .diplomats often do not see the war. London Times. Chesterfield on Toothbrushes. When did the English first adopt the toothbrush habit? In "Esmond" Thack eray makes Lord Castlewood spend "a tenth part of his day In the brushing of his teeth and the oiling of his hair," and In doing so the novelist commits a dou ble anachronism. During the first half of the eighteenth century all fine gentle men wore wigs and had no use for oil on their hair, while the toothbrush was so late as 1754 unknown to Lord Ches terfield. Writing to his son, Chester field says: "I hope you take great care of your mouth and teeth, and that you clean them well every morning with a - sponge and tepid water, with a few drops of arquebusade water dropped into It. I do insist upon your never using those sticks, or any hard sub stance whatever, which always' rub away the gums and destroy the var nish of the teeth."-London Graphic. Porpoise Jaw Oil. Practically all the porpoise oil used in this country, even if not in the world, for lubricating watches and other deli cate instruments is made near New Bedford, Mass., which many years ago was important as a whaling port. The product Is taken from the jaw and cer tain other parts of the animal, which Is caught especially for this purpose. When the industry was In Its Infancy whalers were depended upon 'to supply the porpoise, but now the manufactur ers maintain a fishing department, which follows the schools of porpoise mIgrating along the coast and furnish es a continual supply of them. The history of the New Bedford industry reaches back to the early part of the nIneteenth century to a watch tinker who regulated and cleaned the time pieces of the whalers.-Pepular M. chanics.

There are great deposits of laterite and bauxite from which aluminum Is derived. It Is said that the Indian product could be placed cm the market at a figure but. little more than half that of the 1resent quotation. The use of this metal is handicapped by the cost at present, and if the metal could be secured at a lower cost its field of Susefulness would be greatly expanded. There are many comparatively ac cessible points where factories for the extraction of aluminum could be k - HOW MUCH DOES YOUR DENTAL WORK COST YOU!

LnW, theoSouth" wasannd sing SalC Languages. The verse found In Genesis %i, "And the whole earth was of one language. and of one people," has given rise to much speculation as to the language spolien on the earth previous to the "confusion of tongues." According to many authorities, Hebrew was the laln guage spoken by Adam, while others state that Hebrew, Arabic and Chalde are simply dialects of the origins tongue. The Persians assert that there were three primitive languages. The Arabic, being the most persuasive, was used by the serpent in addressing Eve; the Persian, being the most poetic, was spoken by Adam and Eve, and the Turkish, being the most menacing, was employed by the angel when driving the guilty pair from the garden of Eden. Herodotus says that Psammetichus, king of Egypt, wishing to learn the language that would naturally be spo ken by a person, caused two Infants to be carefully guarded and kept from all verbal Intercourse. When brought be fore him the first word the children ut tered was bekos, the Phrygian for bread, whereupon it was at once as serted the Phrygian was the primeval or oldest tongue.-Philadelphia Press. For the Ultra Precise. Professor Thomas E. Lounsbury said at Cambridge In a talk on English: "But precision can be carried too Jar. The ultra precise, even when logically right, are really wrong. "An ultra precise professor went into a hardware shop and said: "',Show me a shears, please.' "'You mean a pair of shears, don't you?' said the dealer. "'No,' said the professor. 'I mean what I say. I mean a shears,' "The dealer took d'own a box of shears. "'Look here, professor,' he said. 'Aren't there two blades here? And don't two make a pair?' "'Well, you've got two legs. Does that make you a pair of men? And the professor smiled at the dealer tri umphantly through his spectacles. "He was logically right, but, really, he was wrong."-Phiadelphla Bulletin. What it Is Like to Fly. In "Air Craft In the Great War," by Claude Grahame-White and Harry Har per, an answer to the question "What In It like to fly?" is brief: The question has lost novelty, yet It has never been answered-never, that is to say, In a manner wholly convinc ing. The reason is that the sensation Is Indescribable-"like nothing else on earth," has a passenger has said. If you can Imagine yourself gliding over a smooth surface of ice on skates you cannot feel and which make no noise, that may convey some faint Idea per haps of the feelings you experience after leaving ground. You are support ed on something, yet you are not sup ported. You look down, and there is nothing below you but an empty void. Yet the machine rides firmly and se curely, as though you were in a motor car on the smoothest road. What is a PlacerV A placer is an unconsolidated deposit accumulated by rechaucal processes, carrying one or more minerals in com mercial quantities. All placers are secondary deposits-that Is, the mate rial of which they are composed was originally derived by erosion of bed rock. Although It is undoubtedly true that under certain conditions nuggets of placer gold have been enlarged through chemical precipitation, yet this action is a negligible quantity In plac ers. Placers may be derived solely by rock weathering without water sort ing, but more commonly are the result of water transportation, sorting and deposition. Many of the richeit plac ers are those formed by the erosion of older placers and the reconcentra ion of their god Ge nrge's Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged lin 1732 In making pig iron at Accokeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va.,. about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg. when his famous son was born. This furnace had been built by the Princip lo company, composed of English cap italists, as early as 1726 on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,tiO0 acres and containing Iron ore, Mr. Washington becoming the own er of one-sixth of the furnace property in consideration of the transfer of his land to the company. A Chinese Gutenberg. There Is pretty good evIdence of a C~nese Gutenberg, one P1 Ching, who ina 1041 carved cubes of porcelain paste with Chinese characters, afterward baked them and "set" the porcelain type by help of parallel swires on a plate of Iron in a cement bed. It is certain that the art of printing was known In the Celestial empire for cen tries before It came to light In Eu rope. _____ Feminine "Short and Ugly."
