TTAVV LIGHT IS CUT OFF
11U ’’ IN CITY’S STREETS
BY TOWERING SKYSCRAPER.
—F. 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.

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

How Wild Thinos Are Lured.
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.

THE DELICIOUS PRUNE.
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.

New Parisian Fad.

that nf the carrying of charming
Frennh dolls instead of dogs. At the

who was carrying it. All the women
were In ecstasies over It. There Is
also a new bracelet quite popular In
