Constitution the Work
of Many Master Minds
Iu uont* of the relatively meager
records of the Constitutional convention
Is the authorship of any purt of
the Constitution definitely established.
tChe delegates debated proposed plans
until on July 2d, substantial agreement
having been reached, a committee
on detail was appointed to prepare
a formal draft of the document.
^Tljtls committee, the personnel of j
which Is unknown, reported on August
0 a draft that included a pre- 1
amble and 28 articles, embodying 48
sections. Debate continued until September
8, when a new i<>mmlttoe to
revise the formal draft was 'named.
This committee Included Dr. William
Samuel Johnson, Alexander Hamilton,
Gouverneur tybrris, James Madison and
ltufus King, Its work is believed to
huve been largely that of Gouverneur
Morris. That Is ?s nearly as the
authorship of any part of the final
text of the Constitution can bo Identified.
It may bo said, however, that
the great document was In reality
not written, hut was hulldcd slowly
und laboriously as a great edifice
might bo constructed, with* hot a
piece of material Included until It
had been shaped and approved, all
the master artisans having a hand
In the task.
Earth's Ages-Old Past
Linked With Sequoias
The mind can scarcely grasp the
stretches through which the history
of the Sequoias takes us?far beyond
I ull recorded time, back to the M?soI
role and Mlozene periods millions of
I years ago when weird monsters like
I tho dinosaur and the dinotherium
I roamed over the face of the earth
and long before man or animals of
any existing type bad yet begun their
age-long process of evolution, ltlclmrd
St. Harbe Baker writes, in Hie Wash
ingtoh I'ostv*
Hons ago these mighty trees grew
densely in many parts of the world.
No less than 45 species of redwood
have been described from the fossil
beds of the northern hemisphere. In
North America the climatic factors
were such us to favor their persistence
only in California, where they
are making their last stand. Unfortunately
they are disappearing too
rapidly, as they are greatly in do
niand for lumber, but thanks to a
few public spirited citizens, many exitmpies
of these statelj* trees have
been preserved for posterity.
Tall Trees Ha
Living redwoods run up to 210 feet
In diameter, but this occurs rarely
and this species of tree is subject to
great root swellings that make such
measurements misleading. Other trees
that reach great size In this respect
are the kauri, of New Zealand; the
baobabr of Africa; the cypress, of
Mexico, and the Jnqultibn Vermelho,
of Brazil. Several trees of one or an'
other of these species have been reported
to exceed the redwoods in diameter.,
The largest of these whose
size has been authentically established
Is a great cypress tree at Raint Maria
del Tule, Mexico. This tree has a diameter
at the ground of 40 feet and
measures 85 feet In diameter 5 feet
above groiwid.
Stork
Fable Survives
The' childish fable which Identifies
the stork with Infant birth comes
from German inventions. In Germany
<ho stork Is regarded with almost superstitious
regard. It Is not uncommon
to see an old disused wheel set
up on a roof-tree to encourage storks
to build upon It. Nothing was easier
than to satisfy childish curiosity
about babies, than to give the stork,
sitting above the h^use, alfnost like a
tutelary deity, the credit for blessing
the honif with a new-born little one,
absurd and misleading though the
Idea may appear to many.
Tobacco la Europo
Ralph Lane, the first governor of
Virginia, atld Sir Francis Drake
brought to the notice' of Sir Walter
Raleigh the hhbit of srfmking tobacco.
Lane Is credited with having been the
first English smoker, and through the
Influence and example of the illustrious
Raleigh, "who took a pipe of tobacco
a little before he went to the
scaffold," the habit became rooted
among Elizabethan courtiers. During
the Seventeenth century the Indulgence
in tobacco spread with. marvelous
rapidity through all nations.
F.ducaling Slave*
Many of tho large slave lulders of
the South, particularly of Virginia,
took much pains to instruct their
slaws in ri liglous matters and In -the
rudiments of education. The first public
schools for Indians and negroes
were established in Virginia iu 1020.
and In 1701, Ellas Neau established
schools for Indians and negro slaves
In New York city. In 1708 a manual
- JntiflT school Tst Indians fiiiTFiregraw
was established In Hyde county, N. C.
?Washington Star.
Affecting Temperature
It Is the temperature of the air
that affects the thi mometer and not
the facT that the air Is In motion. A
hot wind will have a tendency to raise
the thermometer reading, while a cold
wind will IoWot It. In the same Hay
It may be shown that an electric fan
In operation In a room docs not lower
the temperature, though the Increased
circulation of air makes us fytl cooler,
because of evaporation of moisture

Buddhists Believe Sun
Pays Homage to Deity
The "Spectre of the Urockett," in the
Hartz mountains pf Germany, has a
counterpart In Ceylon. Every year
^hundreds of people climb Adam's peak
to see the sunrise from Its top and
the famous pyrumldial shadow that Is
thrown up on the other side only to
disappear with the increasing brightness
of day. The apparition stands
^Still for many seconds, then nearer
and nearer, always growing larger, it
advances towards the observer. Like
a veil, it Is transparent and one can
see the plains below distinctly through
It. So distinct is (be whole thing thatfrom
Colombo, which Is about l.r>0
miles away, the shadow can be seen
on a clear morning. A curious Buddhist
belief?linked to this illusion Is
that this Is the sun Itself worshiping
Adam's jieak which, of course, is famous
for the sacred footprint of Buddha.

Statesmen Ridiculed
After ejecting the Long parliament,
Cromwell called together a new parliament,
or more properly a convensummoning,
so far as he might,
dmly religious, God-fearing men. The
"Little parliament," as It Is sometimes
called, consisted of 150 member*,
mainly religious realots, who
spent much of their time In Scripture
exegesis, prayer and exhortation.
Among them was a London leather
merchant nicknamed "Praise-God"
Barebone, who was especially given
to these exercises. The name amused
the people, and as the exhorter was a
fair representative of a considerable
section of the convention, they nicknamed
it "Barebono's parliament." by
which designation It has passed into
history.
y The Worm Tumi
An Indian down In Oklahoma, hard
up, went to the hank to borrow $100.
Tbe banker said It would be all right,
provided he had some security. The
deal finally was made, tbe Indian giving
a mortgage on 20 ponies.
Not long after that oil was struck
close to the Indian's allotment, and
1^ sold his oil lease for a lot of cash,
so stepped Into the bank and peeled
ofT a $100 bill to pay the loan.
"That's fine," remarked the banker,
when the business was completed, "bat
you don't want to carry all that money
around with you. Better leave It hers
with me.M
"All right," replied the redskin \
"how many ponies you got?"?Capper's

America's "Kangaroo"
The nearest thing native to North
America to a kangaroo Is the so-called
Jumping mouse. This small forest
and field rodent with a bend and body
length of not more than three Inches
can leap as much n's lfi feetv In a
single bound. Its hind legs, suggestive
of the kangaroo, are much longer
than the forelegs and are used in the
huge lejfps the kangaroo effects on a
larger scale.
The Jumping mouse is a nightroaming
animal, seldom making an
appearance In the daytime. Tt feeds
almost exclusively on grain and seeds.
It Is sought after by most of the
