Mr M R Gass writes the following ] letter to Mr J S Terry. The letter ] explains itself: Kingstree.SC, September 14,1915. Mr J S Terry, 1 Greelyville, S C. Dear Sir:? On the 24th day of August, 1915, ; we issued a check for $31.75 at our ! tobacco warehouse to McNeal Green ' or bearer, in settlement of some tobacco sold at our warehouse on that . day. Subsequently during the same day the check was given out to a ( young man and was cashed by some v' one other than the party to whom it was payable. We made an investigation and located your son, R ; D Terry, as being the party who got the check. We spoke to your son about it and at that time I was thoroughly convinced that he got the check. My bookkeeper, with several others who saw him, was also convinced that your son got the check. However, upon later inves titration, I am thoroughly satisned that your son did not get the check and did not cash it and I km writing this letter to you in order that you may understand that I am now satisfied that your son did not get the check. Of course, at the same i time. I do not mean to say that I did not act in good faith in thinking in the first instance that your son did get the check. I am satisfied 1 made a mistake, and I write this letter to you in the shape of an apology for the error that I made and I trust that both you and your son, Mr R D Terry, will accept my apolog> and overlook the matter. You are at* liberty to use this letter in any way you see fit, to show that your son was erroneously charged with taking the check in question. HIS CHANCE EXPERIMENT. Th* Accident That Led Nobel to Discover Blasting Gelatin. When Unit verv dangerous exploiive, nitroglycerin, was lirst invented extraordinary precautions had to )e taken to prevent accidents while ,he substance was being handled; )ut, notwithstanding this, so many lisasters occurred that there seemed to be strong probabilities that ts manufacture and use would have ;o be prohibited. After several governments had actually interdicted .ts use, however, means were discovered by which this powerful explosive could be used with a mininum of danger to those who hanlled it. One of the methods employed vas to convert the nitroglycerin nto dynamite by its absorption in ;he infusorial earth known as kie ?elguhr. This process, however, involved a reduction of the explosive power of the nitroglycerin, and explosives chemists persisted in their researches to find some substance which when added to nitroglycerin svould render it safe for handling ivithout diminishing its explosive force. One of these chemists was Nobel. Tt is on record that one day while Nobel was at work in his laboraLory he cut his finger, and in oriler to stop the bleeding he painted some collodion (a liquid preparation akin to guncotton) over the cut to form a protective artificial skin. Having done this, he poured some of the collodion, by way of an experiment, into a vessel containing nitroglycerin, when he noticed that the two substances mixed and formed a jelly-like mass. Nobel at once set to work to in vestigate this substance, ana tne outcome of these experiments was blasting gelatin, a mixture containing 90 per cent of nitroglycerin and 10 per cent of soluble guncotton. Thus as a result of a very trivial occurrence that violent explosive?blasting gehtin?was discovered.?Pearson's Weekly. Dexterous Eating. In the island of Jamaica, the land of hurricanes and earthquakes, the native women do almost all the work, even to plowing in the fields and working on the government roads, and this keeps them more or less busy. They also have a peculiar custom when eating. In order not to waste valuable time thes'e dark members of the gentler sex have adopted an ingenious method. They place a plate containing their food, be it hot boiled rice or rabbit stew, on their heads, and, thus balancing l K '1 * -b "Trt 1 b rtlvAllf f lin Trie towns back m tlie urates rnai nan tIn? time I couldn't hear what the mide was saying." ?

To Tell Train Speed. Count the clicks of the wheels on one rail (because joints alternate) for twenty seconds and the result will be the miles per hour the train is running. Demonstration: There are 17G thirty foot rails in 5,280 feet. The train, we will say, is traveling at forty-five miles per hour. It covers 125.5 rails in one minute, or 2.25 rails in one second, which, multiplied by twenty, equals forty-five rails in twenty seconds, or forty-five miles per hour. If thirty-two foot rails are used the result would be forty rails in twen ty seconds at forty-five miles per hour, but it is fairly accurate and can be done easily with a little practice.?Literary Digest. Turkey's Crescent and Star. The crescent moon and stars adopted by the Turks as their insignia had a romantic origin. When Constantinople was a Byzantian city Philip, the father of Alexander the Great, tried to reduce it by siege. lie was unsuccessful by day, and when he thought to take the city by surprise in the dark the crescent moon and stars appeared and exposed his warriors to the citizens. In honor of her protection of the city the Byzantians built a statue to Diana and made the crescent the symbol of the city. Rampant Civic Pride. "Did you learn much on your last trip abroad ?"
