American ?Buy* Franklin Portrait
. .A jjortrait. of Benjamin Franklin,
painted In -Paris in 1778 by Joseph Si
frede Duplessis, and showing him as
the American ambassador whom
Parisians of that period knew, has ar
rived in this country, the property of
Michael Friedsam, the New York Eve
ning Post states. Franklin presented,
the portrait to the Freres Perier, en
gineers and. owners of the ^Chaillot fire
,ejjiine. when, he left France, and it
was from .the Pjerier family , that Mr.
Friedsam.purchased it this year.
r. The portrait, whose gorgeous frame
J ,ef th^e period is carved in the form of a
I serpent, is said to be typical of the
best,work of Duplessis, who was made
! a member of the academy in 1774, and
was later appointed conservator of the
museum of Versailles. In Versailles is
a street, called Dupiessis, and a statue
of him stands in a public square of the
city.

although It has the general shape of
the, giraffe, Its neck is relatively
shorter.a ad its forelegs are not so high
in -proportion to the hindquarters.
3'he sides of the animal's head are
light fawn color and the general color
ation of,the body is a darl. p' rple.
The most striking characteristic is
that the rump, and the upper part of
the legs are transversely, striped wfrh
black and white. It was first known
in. ;L9C#, having been found in the
SemlUu ^forest, haunting low under
growth and swamps.

i .?-?
j Problem of Its Supply Has Added Ont
More to the Troubles of the Gov
ernment.
The German .government has so faf
been unable, to find any substitute for
i furniture, and has aot yet had the
temerity, to ask Its subjects to- follow
the example cf their Turkish allies
and sit on the floor. The result is a
I scarcity that has caused second-hand
j dealers to reap enormoas profits.
! A second-hand kitchen chair that
i formerly cost about 50 cents now sella
! for $5. An old bedstead that used to
j sell for $5 now brings $50. Second
I hand dealers have scoured the country
! and old tables and chairs have been
brought from cellars and garrets, but
the demand still outruns the supply
and prices already 1,(00 per cent above
normal, threaten to go higher.
The problem Is likely to become
more acute as soon as the war.ends,
i Thousands of couples that married
j when the men were called into the
! army will wish to establish homes of
j their own. The government has pro
: vided many houses In advance, -but
! these will be of little use without
j furniture.
Some urge that the government
! make tne same rule regarding second
I hand furniture as is now in force in
the old clothes trade";^put the. private
dealers out of business, fix lower prices
and make it a crime for anyone-to sell
the second-hand articles except to the
j state.
A number of capitalists and furni
ture manufacturers hare formed an
! association to .make new furniture and
aell it at four per cent above cost on
the ^installment plan, reouirlag one
third of the purchase price as first pay

National Prayer Days..
! v The :first time the people of the TJnit
j ed States were called upon to observe i
j a day of national prayer was May 9, j
j 1798, by proclamation of President
j John Adams. A controversy had aris-j
j en hetween this country and France:
aad all Americans were called uponi
! to pray for a continuation of peace. I
.In . 1815, when the Uaited States was
about to/make war on, Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed a day of
Iffayer. .J^ring. the_Civll war three
presidential proclamations were issued |
appointing days of prayer, for. peace.
In i860 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and in ISSt
President Arthur proclaimed a day of j
prayer to mark the burial of President i
Garfleld. In the autumn of 1914 Pres
ident "Wilson issued his proclamation
1 for prayers on "Peace Sundays."
Shoveling Out Gas.
Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed in modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and in most cases it Is a matter of
! many hours .before they become sufli
i cientiy diluted with the atmosphere to
I permit of safe breathing. So the mat
ter resolves. itself Into a problem of
driving the. poisonous fumes out of
j the trenches and underground shelters,
1 or at least thinning them out until
the air Is again made safe..
For this reason American soldiers
now in. France literally "shovel" poi
sonous . fumes out of their trenches.
Attached to a shovel is a sort of can
vas scoop or "flapper" which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the-parapets and beat the fumes and
dissipate them in the surrounding
air.?Scientific American.

' DIDN'T KNOJrV CURiJNG IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful
Member of Chicago Jury Was Not
a MarKed Man.
Every man knows what a curling
j Iron is, but does every man know
! whether or not a curling iron is a
deadly weapon?
The question whs raised in Judge
Gucrin's court in Chicago recently in
the Otto Mathis murder trial. Otto
said he stabbed his brother, Edward, I
when Edward attacked, him with a
j?iiing iron, which lie thought a dan
gerous weapon. The judge ruled a de
scription of the implement was unnec
essary, as everybody knew what it
was.
"Sure, I know," one spectator whis
pered to another. "A curling iron Is
one of those hot things that burn your
fingers when you are fumbling around
among the things on your wife's dress
ing tabk"
"It locks like a pair of scissors with
wooden handles," said the other.
?*And it's deadly, too.", a woman
whispered. "Mazie got hers too hot
the other night and the way .it killed
a lot of her hair was a caution."
fortunately," another woman an
swered, "the curling iron hath no mis
eries that peroxide cannot cure."
Assistant State's .Attorney Daniel
JRamsay insisted there might be single
men on the jury. The judge glanced
knowingly at the jurors. The young
est looked bewildered. So Judge
! Guerin ordered a description of the
weapon supplied. The youngest juror
appeared relieved when, he heard what
It was.
WORK FOR HIGH EXPLOSIVES
French Scientist Suggests Their Use
in the Reclamation of War
Devastated Orchards.
??? ,
The vigorous growth of wild plants |
about shell holes has suggested to M. I
Andre Piedallu a novel plan for quick
ly restoring war-devastated orchards.
The vigor of the weeds is attributed
partly to the Sssuring of the soil by
the sheil-fireaud partly to nitrogenous
substances introduced, and in the pro
posal to ?ie French Academy It is
concluded that an ideal orchard soil
could ^e produced by breaking up the
rougb surface, with dynamite in such
X,way that fertilizing material would
Tie driven into the soil. The fertilizer
would be compressed in .paper or
celluloid casesraroundflinders of the
explosive, which would, be. fired by a
fulminating charge. .Holes for the
cartridges about two feet deep would
be bored with a stick or iron rod, and
In the spherical cavity about 30 Inches
deep produced by the explosion, the
young tree would be placed and cov
ered with the fertilizer-charged soil.
Perhaps fome of the enormous stores
! of high explosives left over from the
I war could be utilized iu this way. A
suggestion already made is that the
United States could put to use some of
Its 50,000,000 or 100,000,000 tons of
TNT for reclaiming arid deserts, Irri
gating ditches being dug and roads
graded by firing trains of the explo
'sive placed along the surface.

. Dog Got the Rabbit.
Exploration ef caves in South Berk
I sbire, Conn., resulting in the discovery
of stalactites and stalagmites, big white
spiders weaving their webs, hats in
crusted in the crystals and a subma
rine brook, made Jack Newboy of Len
oxdaie recall the day that he went
rabbit hunting in the Patterson, woods.
Newboy's dog chased a rabbit into
ja cave. Jack waited outside for re
j suits. :He waited two hours, called the
j dog, and, getting no results, went
home. He found the dog was at home
and had the rabbit. Pat, his brother,
explained: ?
"I was fishing on a lake not far
from the shore when I. heard a comrao
! tion in the water near by and was sur
i prised to see a rabbit in the water.
As I reached the spot the dog came to
j the surface, swam after the rabbit and

In Daddy's Heart.
At Sunday school Dorothy's teacher
I attempted to explain to the children
about keeping iheir hearts clean and
filled with certain desirable qualities,
j She urged them to think seriously
! about what they had in their hearts,
j Dorothy's hand went up. The teacher
j gave her permission to speak.
! "My daddy has nutpicks In his
I heart"
Now the teacher was sufficiently in- j
terested in the .psychology of the thing
to go to the mother for the explana
tion. Dorothy had recently attended
a wedding with her parents. When
they were looking at the wedding pres
ents her mother had laughingly turued
to daddy and said: j
"John, I wish you would open up
your heart and ffive me a handsome
set of nutpicks like these."

H. Do Brun (Bulletin de I'Acade

years' experience in Syria with plague,
including an epidemic of pneumonic
plague, protests against the view that
pneumonia following influenza maybe
rotated to the eastern disease. . In
pneumonic plague the cough is charac
terized by a quiet, spasmodic expira
