Mature Embossed
Carved Initials
An American beech tree was cut
down about one mile north of Morris
Vrlle, l’a. 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.

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

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.
