On spi tting a section of this tree into firewood a’remarkable work of nature was brought t>> light. On one of the pieces of wood were plainly embossed the initials ‘A. J. D„ J. E. D., 1830,” and on the other piece were letters and figures exactly cor responding to the embossed ones, says Nature Magazine. A eixvful examination shows that the tree must have been about sixty-seven years old when the initials were cut. The em bossed part was nearest to the bark. It is supposed that the tree, In growing, gradually overgrew the part with the initials cut in it. when its tissue was pressed into the mold-like initials, forming genuinely embossed letters and numerals. Who lias n better explanation? What a story of love or romance! The sections of wood are owned by Henry Moon of Morrlsville, Pa.

Reviving Celtic Language Bulletin of the National Geographic Society. A news dispatch from Dublin stat ing that the Irish language has been made a compulsory subject in the Irish schools. Indicates that a very ancient branch of the almost extinct Celtic family of languages will again take a place in international affaira Although written or printed Irish looks, at first glance, more like Greek or Hebrew, or some weird eastern tongue, it occupies a philological po sition between the Italic and Teu tonic groups of the Indo-European languages, a division known as the Celtic family. The Celtic family also Includes Welsh. Breton, Scottish, Gaell"., Manx and Cornish, the latter extinct, and Manx, the dialect spoken on the Isle of Man, reported fast dy ing. The Irish alphabet has only 18 let ters, many of them similar to English characters. However, there is no J, K. Q. V. W. X, Y, nor A. When a letter is sounded softly, with an as piration or breath, a dot is placed over it. This dot represents an “H” following the letter. When a vowel is sounded long an accept mark is placed over it, similar in appearance to the acute accent in French. One of the peculiarities of the spoken language is that a consonant can be sounded only with a vowel, for by itself a consonant in Irish makes nothing but a whisper. "H” Is neither a vowel nor a consonant. It Is a breath. “A," “O," and “U” are called broad vowels. A broad vowel makes the consonant next to it broad. “E” and "I” are slender vowels and make the consonant next to them slender. Success Not a Question of Money From the Anniston Star.

What a man accom plishes In life for tne good of hu manity and for his fellow men, is worth more than dollars and cents and though the man who does most for humanity dies with the smallest personal fortune, lie none-the-less has been a success. The Laurel, (Miss.) Daily Leader, sums up ‘‘Success’ in the following; "Victor Herbert, the composer, left an estate of only about $50,000. "Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Discretion.

But if the financial feature is lackln, the man who has rendered a distinct public service still may be in the broad sense of the word successful. He has succeeded in doing what others may have tried to do and have failed to accomplish. The Far-Flung Universe It was only a short time ago that we believed the sun to be the hot test heavenly body. Now we know that though the sun’s temperature la a little more than C,000 degrees cen tigrade, such stars as Rlgel, Vega and Sirius have temperatures ranging from 11,000 to 16,000 degrees centi grade. Our sun is but a mere speck in the vast universe. Although 1,000, 000 planets the size of the earth could find a home in the sun, such stars as Mira nnd Betelgeuse are so' enormous that they could not only1 contain our sun, but there would be plenty of room remaining in them for the earth to continue its orbit about the sun without ever emerging front the star into outside space. In fact, Betelgeuse is so large that If a boy of 14 were to stand on its surface and discharge a loaded rifle, the bullet would not return to the same spot in its journey around the circumference of the star until the boy had attained the age of 70 years. In our finite conception of things it is hardly possible tor any of us to Imagine the vastness of the universe. It is this restricted point of view that makes it difficult for us to appreciate the practical value of developments beyond the earth. Our sun is about 33,000,000 miles away, and to the average person that appears to be quite some distance. We think that even our nearest neighbor, the moon, is a long way off from us because of the intervening gap is 240,000 miles. But when wo think of these bodies in terms of other celestial objects it becomes ap parent how close we really are to our source of suqlight. The reflected light from the moon reaches us in 114 seconds, while even the light from the sun, traveling at the rate of 186,000 miles a second, gets to us in 8 1-3 minutes. All this represents rapid serv'r ■ in view of the truth that the . ' ‘ from the nearest star to the i '‘quires more than four years to > us. The Origin of “TJ • From the Ohio State mil.

Permanent roads are a good investment —not an expense One Horse Town, Good-Bye! Any community whose streets are not dur ably paved is going to be known as a “one horse town.” When that time arrives, Prosperity says, “Good-bye, old friend. Good-bye!” People start moving away. Bank deposits fall off. Business in general begins to take a slump, and the place is no longer “on the map.” Contrast all this with the city that is well paved. It steadily forges ahead over its hard, even streets. Automobiles, busses and delivery trucks, operate efficiently and economically, regardless of season or weather. Business is good, and keeps getting better. Modern, fire-safe buildings spring up. New industries are attracted to town. Plants and factories are working full time. Trade at the stores is brisk, and everybody’s busy. ; In short, permanently paved streets and roads are one of the very best investments any community can make. You can enjoy the tonic effect of well paved streets by help ing your local authorities to find ways and means to build more of them.
