Days The man was working on the side of a steeply sloping roof All of a sudden his foot slipped and with n groan he began to slide down slowly toward the edge l v As he slid he clutched with tense fingers at the tin but It was smooth It offered him no hold and his spoed gradually but surely Increased As In a sitting posture like a tobog ganer the man continued his deadly slide he began to pray In a loud an guished voice Memory as If In answer to his pray er flashed across his brain the words Spread out The man Instantly lay flat on his back spreading arms and legs to their widest angle making himself as much as possible like a starfish And his speed at once decreased The addi tional friction surface acted like a brake A few feet from the edge of the roof he came to anchor ETelp he then shouted But the slight movement of shouting acted like a push and he slipped down a few Inches more Help And again he slid a little Rut this time help came A rope was thrown and the man climbed back to safety He wiped the dews of terror from his brow My boss in my apprentice days he said told me if I ever started sliding down a roof slope to spread out and It would stop me I didnt believe him but by jingo he was right The man smiled and sighed musing on his long dead boss Then he crawl ed back to his dangerous work on the steep slope of the roof Philadelphia Bulletin A LOST ART Secret of tho Tools Used by the Incas and the Aztecs What was tho combination of met als from which the Egyptians Aztecs and the Incas of Peru manufactured their tools and arms Though each of these nations reached a high state of civilization none of them ever discov ered iron in spite of the fact that the soil of all three countries was largely impregnated with it But they substi tuted for It a combination of metals that had the temper of steel and the secret of the combination is lost to mankind numboldt tried to discover the lost art by analyzing a chisel found in an ancient Inca silver mine but all he could make of it was that it appeared to be a combination of a small portion of tin with copper No present known way of combining these two metals will give the hardness of steel so there must have been something else in the chisel which Humboldt missed And these ancient races were able to prepare pure copper so that it equaled the temper of the finest steel produced at the present day by the most scien tific process With their bronze and copper instruments they were able to quarry and shape the hardest stone such as granite and porphyry and even cut emeralds The ancient peo ples must have independently discov ered the art of tempering copper and yet it is a secret that baffles modern scientists of the whole civilized world New York Times Lemon Omelet Tut the yolks of

carried them off bodily as a thief would do The minute seeds of this weed float up the English chan nel in the current of the gulf stream they settle on oysters in the Breton beds of Morbihan Quiberon and Belle Isle and they grow to the size of a ducks egg They are full of water but at maturity the water evaporates and air takes its place The egg shaped seaweed is then a balloon and like a balloon it lifts its oyster from the bot tom and bears it out to sea Walking In New York Men walk more rapidly in the streets of New York city than in any other city in the world The average speed during the
