Lilac Always Blossom
of Love and Lovers
The lilac is an oriental blossom,
coining to us originally way. of
Turkey and Spain. It is supposed to
be the llower of love and lovers, mark
ing the heyday of spring. The love-
lore of the '“Inyloek,” to give It an
Old-world name is varied and pleas
ant. A spray of white lilac, burled
on the eve of a May moon, is u mid
land charm which maidens practiced,
believing that by the time the lilac
died they would have the heart of the
man they desired. If—wr many lilac
petals us composed the name of a lov-;
er were strung on triple threads of
white silk, and worn in a little bag.
next to the heart, before next lilac
time came the lover would be won by
this secret charm. If you have lilac
in ytmr garden na ghost can enter
your house; if white lilac grows be
side your door you will never he with
out love and tuck; if you pluck n
rpruy, of lilac without your loverfs
knowledge when walking with him,
put one of its’petals In his drhik; if v
he swallows it, he is yours forever and
a day. v A “luck lilac,” usually found
on white lilac, has five divisions of
the petal Instead of four. If you ore
in love, look for a luck lilac, swallow
it. and your loved one' will be faith
ful for all time! Thus love and lilac
are irrevocably related. /f-
Governor Henry S. Johnslon, of
Oklahoma, on whose order Nation-
r. I Guardsmen armed with rifles and
pistols prevented members of the
i Oklahoma legislature from meet-
ing in the State Capitol to consid*
U Lis impeachment.
Beds of Clay Reveal
the Passage of Time
Geologists can follow the tracks \of
the sun and tell the time, year; ita
year, in geological ages—ancient
that even by millions of yeprs they
aix» hard to count »
Not far from Stockholm there are
some remarkable beds of clay, regu
larly arranged ln\ alternating bands
<>/ sand and clay. These turn out to
be Hie layers deposited by the melt
ing glaciers of the Ice age, each one
laid down in th^ spring and summer
when the Min was hottest. And as
there was a freeze-up each winter and-
inciting each summer, the layers be
come almost pis-accurate an index to
the antiquity of the lee age as the an
nual rings.of a tree are to the age>
of the tree.
Moreover, the same system of meas
uring geological time lias now been
extended -x^vit all Scandinavia, and
parts of Indift and South- America.
Everywhere the layers appear to cor
respond so closely in the variations of
their thickness, year by year, that
there seems no doubt they were laid
down in corresponding years.—Baron
Gerard de Geer.
Gas From Oil Wells
Vapor that rise from oil wells and
which lias hitherto gone to waste is
now being bottled and sold as fuel.
'I'liis vapor is obtained from wells that
are In production or -from welts that
have been pumped out, and burns with
an odorless gas llame after it has
gone through various processes.
It is first refined and compressed
until it becomes a low-pressure liquid
that reassumes its gaseous form on be
ing released from .tire steel bottles in
which it fs stored. These bottles are
attached to heating appliances by
pipes ami’lubes. W hen the valve of
the Jet is turned on the pressure of
the gas forces it through an‘air mixer
similar to that of any gas range. /
Confucius Great Sage
The man wliqse memory has for
'2.0U0 years aroused sigufil respect ami
honor in China was a sage, nbt a
saint nor a founder of u religious
faith. Confuciods took the best of
the various Chinese philp^ophers of
his day and formed a cijlt of his own,
using 6s a basis five cariJinal virtues—
righteousness, knowledge, “Sincerity,
politeness and discrimination of good.
The wisdo n oft he Chinese Solomon
so delighted rim people that temples
were built >n Ids honor, his wise say
ings wer^/widely quoted and came to
he taught in the Chinese schools.
The Hobb dnstinct
One of the primal Instincts of man
which refuses to be eradicated is the
wandering urge. It originated, un
doubtedly, from necessity. The need
for changing hunting grounds and
entrip sites was always present «n pre
historic and'carly historic times. La
ter when people settled down, found
ed towns, and -agricultural districts be
came established, the^ necessity for
this urge Ceased to some extent. The
instinct of wishing to sve new lands,
however, has Continued nfcd undoubt-
edly that is orte of the reasons for the
present popularity of motor cantping.
