W. Fitzpatrick, the archi tect who has been called the “father of skyscrapers,” gives in the Popular Science Monthly some statistics as to the shad ows cast by very high buildings. “The Adams Express building, \ New York, which Is 424 feet high, casts a shadow 875 feet in length; the Equitable building, which is 493 feet high, one 1.018 feet in length; the Singer tower, which is 540 feet high, oqe 1,127 feet in length, and the Wool worth tower, which is 791 feet high, one 1,635 feet in length. “Some skyscrapers cast shad ows from a sixth to a third of a mile in length on surrounding property. Thus the Equitable building's shadow at noon on December 21 is about one-fifth of a mile in length ; It complete ly envelops an area of 7.59 acres. Yet the ground area of the Equitable building is only 1.14 acres. “The shadow cuts off all sun shine from the Broadway facade of the United States Realty building, which is 21 stories high. The New York Title and Mortgage Company building, 14 stories high, and the Washing ton Life Insurance building, 19 stories high, are both complete ly shaded. The srtttth side of the Singer tower is shaded to a height of 27 stories. The near est part of the City Investing building, 400 feet away, is In shadow for 24 of Its 20 stories. Even part of the New York Telephone building north of Cort landt street is shadowed by the Equitable building. " - .--—I How Expression Originated. There have been many explana tions made as to the origin of the ex-! pression, “I'm From Missouri, You've Got to Show Me." One of the latest was made by a Kansas City man, which according to the Kansas City Star, was as follows: The marriage laws in Missouri in the early days were so loose that any one could get married without answer ing many questions. In 1831 a law was passed making it a misdemeanor for a minister or a justice to marry persons not having a state license. It also set the age of marriageable wom en at eighteen years. If the applicant for a license did not know the age of the bride-elect he had to produce her to the license clerk and let him judge her age. When the applicant went after the girl she naturally asked why she hud to go along to get the license. j When told that the law required her exhibition she remarked: “Oh, you’ve got to show me. have you.” This oc- i curred many times during the first year or so of the law's enforcement and became a byword. Thus Missouri became known as the “show me" state. How '‘Lost Workere" Are Traced. Patterned after investigations made in America bv Joseph H. WillitB of Philadelphia. England is now making inquiry into the subject of “lost work ers"—men and women who disappear. Captain Greenwood, for the govern ment, has finished an Investigation In 16 munition factories employing more than 40,000 woman workers. Two thousand left because of 111 health and 8,000 gave no reason when they quit, being divided In these classifications: To get married, moving from tho district, required at home, wages in sufficient, and other employment. "There Is no panacea for disease, but there is one promising remedy, namely, organized welfare work. In the factories where there are organ ized welfare departments thp wast age unaccounted for Is below the av- \ erage.” How Fish Aided Solomon. According to the Koran of Mahomet King Solomon recovered his throne by a fish restoring him the talisman ring by virtue of which he held dominion over all the devils. Still more ancient is the recovery of ffakuntnta's ring by a fish, which thus enabled King Dasyanta to marry the lady of his love. From the fancy of the Aryan pact has descended an immense progeny of treasure-retrieving fishes, and the ring of Sakuntala, like the magic circlet of the Persian story, hns begotten innu merable rings exactly like itself. How Whitman Got Nickname. Tt originated during the Civil war. At that time Whitman was holding a government clerkship In Washington and was devoted In his service to sick and wounded soldiers In the hospitals. He was a man of large frame and his heavy gray hair and long beard gave him a distinguished appeurance. In 1865 W. O. O’Connor, also a govern ment employee and a magazine writer of the period, wrote an Intensely eu logistic pamphlet about Whitman, en titled, “The Good Grey Poet.” It took hold of the popular imagination and ■tuck. How to Achieve Old Age. Light diet, sobriety and considerable muscular exercise were given as means by which old age may be attained by Prof. Widal recently In a discussion before the Academy tf Sciences of Prof. E. Cassagne’s “Treatise of Old Age.” The speaker asserted old age was more common today than In other times, pointing out that there were 1,000 centenarians reported In statis tics Issued during the last year. IHOW WIRELESS PHONES HAVE AIDED IN RE DUCING LOSSES BY FIRE. —The wireless telephone, as n result of a season's tryout, dur ing which the handicaps of "packing'' instruments over a ; thirty-mile mountainous trail, the 1 perils of passing through a for- j est Are. and numerous other tests ; were applied, has been pro- ; nounced a success for forest service work hy officials of the service, according to an an- : ; nouncement from district head quarters at Missoula, Mont. ; Hereafter, the announcement \ : says, wireless telephone instru ments are to he a part of the ; standard equipment of the for- ; ! ; est service. ! At the direction of Chief For ester William S. Graves, tests of i this plan of communication were initiated In tlds district Iasi sea ; son by It. A.

Fish ami frogs are equally curious to examine the many bright lures that the fishermen know will attract their attention. In frog hunting all that Is necessary Is a gig composed of sev eral hooks grouped together and cov ered with a small hit of red flannel. When the frog sees this bit of bright red it leaps for it and often hooks itself at the first attempt. Trout, muskellunge and other game fish will often leap olear of the water to grab an especially brilliant lure. It may be said that every kind of bird Is brimming over with curiosity as hunters of every land have trapped them by inducing them to approach and Investigate nnfamtltar objects. Crows and parrots possess this curios ity In extreme degree, and If any thing Is held near their cages they are quick to come over and examine It from every angle. Why Moses Forbade Pork. Presumably the reason Moses hnd for forbidding pork to the Israelites was that the eating of pig-meat was proved accountable fort the disease now called “trichinosis." That dreadful malady Is rare now adays because we cook our pork thor oughly, and any “trichinae” that It may contain are killed by the heat. Not until recently, however, has it come to be known that trichinosis Is really a disease of the rat. Plg-stlea are usually haunted by those four footed vermin, which the pigs often kill and eat. thereby Becoming infect ed. The pig, however, serves merely as an “Intermediate host" for the para alte, which, when taken alive Into the human body, proceeds to multiply at a fabulous rate, the tiny wormlike or ganisms invading the tissues with ser ious and ofttlmes fatal results. How Lawns Were Named. Years ago the Dutch excelled all other peoples in the bleached linens they sent forth. That was In a time, of course, when bleached linen was considered a luxury. The Dutch gained their fame for this excellence because they hud a wonderful system of treating the muslin to make It white, To begin with, they treated It tn bleaches and acids of various sorts; and then they placed It on bleaching lawns, or greens, where it lay at In tervals from March to September. The white material thus produced look tht name of lawns whereon it wai bleached—at least so goes the story.

By example and not by precept. By doing and not by professing There is no contagion equal to tile contagion of life. Whatever we sow, that shall we also reap, and each thing sown produces of Us kind.—Ralph Waldo | Trine. The reason prunes have such a but den of disrepute to bear. Is largely on account of the careless . manner. In years past, that the average cook j has served them. Now while they are coming tip In price, they are better appreciated. The long soaking und slow cook- i ing which our modern ; methods of cookery ad- j voeates, has proven that such treat- i ment brings out the flavor and sweet- j ness of the fruit. A real prune lover w’ishes no sugar on the fruit as It j needs none but its own sweetness. Prune Whip Parfait.—Take one-half cupful of stewed prunes, stoned and : mashed, one-half cupful of raisins seeded and simmered in water to soft en, pinch of salt, eight marshmallows, cut up In half a cupful of cream and steamed in a double holler until soft, then beaten until smooth. Into the marshmallow mixture whip the other Ingredients and set the dish on ice to chill. When ready to serve, heap In small sherbet cups, pour over thick cream and sprinkle with pecan meats broken in bits. Prune Patties.—Take a half cupful of stewed, stoned and mashed prunes, one egg yolk, add a pinch of salt, a hit of nutmeg, sugar to taste, a tea spoonful of flour and a half cupful of sweet milk. Mix and pour Into past ry lined patty tins. Bake until a light brown; then sprfad the tops with a meringue, using the white of egg beat en stiff with two tahlespoonfuls of sugar. Brown. Prune Roll.—Take one tablespoonful of grapefruit juice, one tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of flour, two thirds of a cupful of mashed prunes, one-third of a cupful of seeded raisins. Cover the raisins with half a catful of water and simmer half an hour. To the prunes add the sugar and fruit juice, a pinch of salt and the flour mixed with a little cold water. Put In the raisins and cook the mixture un til It thickens—about three minutes. Spread on biscuit dough that has been rolled very thin, fold and press the edges together and bake. Serve with , cream.
