THE SCOURING RUSH
A Queer Plant That Can Bo Changed
Into a Mineral
The scouring rush Equlsetuni hle
male Is an interesting plant which baa
boon put to practical use In old times
its hollow lllnty stems were in great
repute for kitchen cleaning purposes
The steins are hollow and are easily
separated at the Joints If oue would
satisfy himself as to the peculiar prop
erty that first suggested the use of this
rush for scouring purposes he has only
to draw a Joint across the edge of his
teeth to find It like a hie
A very pretty chemical experiment
is frequently made with the rush If
one takes a small vial of nitric acid
into which any ordinary lead is Im
mersed he will quickly see It dissolve
literally eaten up by the acid But
what does the scouring rush do under
such circumstances
Immediately upon its introduction
to the acid the sizzling process begins
The green pulp of the1 stem Is grad
ually consumed the tube however
still retaining Its shape becoming paler
and paler hi color until after a few
hours the specimen Is transformed into
a pure white alabaster like column
which defies any further attack from
the acid
On taking it from the vial and wash
ing It carefully In running water the
operator holds In his hands a beauti
ful tube of pure glassy flint or silex
an object of great microscopic beauty
of construction The scouring rush Is
no longer a vegetable but a mineral
and in observing its skeleton of stones
the secret of Its utility as a scouring
brush Is easilj understood New York

DUTCH STREET CARS
The Conductor Carries More Docu
ments Than a Congressman
Countries may be known by their
street cars The rush and jar ef our
big cities are exemplified In the rapid
rude transit of its inhabitants So the
character of orderly little Holland may
be gathered from observation of her
car service Says J U Higinbotlram
in Three Weeks in Holland and Bel
glum
Street car fare in Holland Is 3 cents
a trip and for 4 cents you receive a
return ticket The conductor carries
more documents than a congressman
For every fare he opens an aluminium
box about 4 by 6 and hands out a re
ceipt or a return ticket as the case
may be
When the passengers pay their tick
ets he places the tickets In a leather
pouch hung by a strap round his neck
It is important that you retain the re
ceipt given you for at uncertain in
tervals a controlleur gets on the
car aud examines all receipts puts his
O K on them with a rubber stamp
and compares the result with the man
ifest or log carried by the conductor
It is quite the correct thing to tip the
conductor with a Dutch cent or two
Each car has a card inside stating
how many places there are and on
each platform is another saying how
many people may stand thereon
When the seats and both platforms are
full the sign Vol is put up and no
more are permitted to get aboard
Our car probably had thirty people in
it and on the platforms and was turn
ing business away at every crossing
Color
Of the light rays that fall upon an
object some are taken up by the object
and others are reflected It is to the
reflected rays that we are to turn for
the explanation of color For instance
a sheet of white paper is white be
cause all the seven kinds of light are
reflected from its surface while the
sunflower is yellow because when
light falls on it the violet indigo blue
and green rays are selected for ab
sorption and yellow principally is re
flected The reflective rays received
by the eye produce the sensation of
color This is an explanation of near
ly all the colors that exist
Poison Hemlock
Water hemlock is a deadly plant
common in most country neighbor
hoods Its roots are eaten often in
spring by mistake for some edible root
and death frequently results Cattle
are often poisoned by drinking water
in marshes where it grows The poison
hemlock from which the Greeks made
poisons is a near relative to the water
hemlock It stands from two to seven
feet high and has clusters of small
white flowers and large parsleylike
leaves The stalk being hollow is of
ten made into whistles by country
boys and many children are poisoned
in this fashion
Handicapped
What profession do you think our
boy Joe had batter adopt asked Mrs
Brown
I dunno answered her husband
Joe is rather handicapped by circum
stances The only profession hes nat
urally adapted to is that of a capital
ist and I dont quite see where heV
goin to get the money

The Porcelain Secret
The porcelain Industry of Germany
is comparatively young says tho Berlin
Morgen Post and its development was
rapid Although it is generally believed
that the Chinese kept their processes
of manufacture secret Julians transla
tions of their voluminous encyclopedia
show that this is not true All who
could have read the work might have
known also the porcelain secret But
evidently no German fathomed the me
chanical mystery until the apothecarys
apprentice Boettgar 200 years ago
made the first German porcelain at
Dresden Some years before he had
attracted attention by proclaiming the
discovery of a method of changing
base metal into gold King Frederick
I gave him orders for the precious
metal which the sixteen-year-old in
ventor could not execute and in fear
he fled to Dresden and became a sub
ject of King August the Strong While
endeavoring to make gold he discover
ed the porcelain secret and inscribed
his door thus Into a potter was
changed by Almighty God a man who
thought he could make gold
A Puzzle In Figures
Take any number of three different
figures as 471 under it place the same
figures in reverse order subtract the
lesser number and you will find that
the middle figure of the result is in
variably 9 Why it is so is something
that only the most learned mathemat
ical scholars can explain Here is our
case worked out
Taking any number say 471
Reversing figures 174
Subtracting we have 2D7
Further still we can now reverse
this number 297 in the same way and
add the two numbers and the result
will always come 3089 Thus
Taking 37
Reversing 792
Adding we have 10S9
Why should the answer always come
out the same Ileres something for
you to work over
A Friend In Need
A speaker in the recent Shropshire
England election relates the follow
ing incident One night he spoke in
the poultry market at Whitchurch
The next morning a young man stop
ped him in the street and said
I was looking well after you last
night
The speaker expressed surprise at
the necessity
The young man continued his story
I saw a young man come into the
meeting with his coat pockets bulging
out in a way that made me suspicious
Two of us followed him in He stood
at the back of the room and we stood
one on each side of him Gently but
firmly we pressed against him There
was a faint crackling sound of break
ing eggs and the man was out of ac i
tion
Arms Legs and the Man
now many of us
we walk with our arms as well as with
our legs Sitting on a grassy slope
overlooking a seaside promenade I was
struck by the mechanical swing of the
arms of the stream of passersby the
right arm always keeping position with
the left leg and the left arm with the
right leg By attempting to reverse the
order of the swing I found that I had
a tendency to progress like a crab
while the effort to keep them fixed by j
the side was like the shutting off the
steam from the engine Arms and the
man must be amended to arms legs
and the man London Chronicle
