AFTER GASOLINE, WHAT?
We May In Time Learn How to Run
Motorcars With Alcohol.
j Must we give up motorcars alto
gether? Must we take back the horse?
; No mechanical engineer will assent to
that Motorcars we shall always have,
but motorcars which will be driven by
j some new fuel.
| What fuel? Perhaps alcohol, per
haps kerosene. Both have t>een the
subject of experiment. If either Is em
ployed a new type of engine must be
j created.
Alcohol is a product of organic na
ture. Every blade of grass, every
| plant, every tree, whether dead or
! alive. Is a source of alcohol. Not until
, the world has been stripped of vegeta
tion—and that can never happen so
long ns there are water, sunshine and
j soil—will the supply of alcohol be ex
j ha listed. And when that day dawns
I man himself will perish.
Of alcohol we have made but little
use as n source of power. Coal, oil and
waterfalls have been too abundant:
they need not be manufactured Rut
alcohol Is not stored up in (lockets out
of which it gushes at the tap of a
hammer A mass of sawdust, a heap
of potatoes—In a word, some form of
| vegetation—must be chemically con
verted Into a water clear liquid in
which is stored nil the energy that the
sun has poured upon the foliage of the
earth. Alcohol Is distilled sunshine.
As the oil supply of the world nears
depletion, as the price of oil fuels and
distillates Increases, alcohol will drive
more and more of our machinery The
logs that we now |>crmit to rot In our
forest, the stumpage that reckless ltim
berinen leave In their tracks, the dry
husks of corn that farmers now burn
In the flelds-all these wllj propel the
motorcar of the future. In the form of
alcohol.—Waldemar KaempfTert In Me
Clure's Magazine.
WAYS OF THE COWBIRDS.
They Think They Can Sing and Won't
Build Nests For Themselves.
Just as » man Is known by the com
pany be keeps, so this bird Is named
for the cows wbi h he follows all day.
Why the bird prefers the company of
the cows has always been a mystery.
Once It was thought he ate flies which
followed the rows, but recent examina
tions show that the bird's favorite
food consists of weed seeds and grass
hoppers. Yet he'll follow the animals
all day. sometimes perching on their
i backs to steal a ride. You've guessed
his name, the cowbird.
Farmers have learned to value this
bird very highly He destroys millions
of harmful insects and quantities of
weed seeds. But tbeu he should be
able to do a lot of go«>d work for the
farmer, because the bird has no family
cares.
Mrs. Cowbird. you see. Instead of
building a nest of her own, lays her
eg? In the nest of another bird, usually
picking out the nest of a bird much
smaller than herself. She always de
pends, too. on the good naturedness
of the owner of the nest to hatch the
egg and rear the young bird.
Sometimes the owner of the home
will push the strange egg out on the
ground. The yellow warbler often
goes to work and builds another nest
over the Intruder. Other birds hatch
the strange e^g. and then spend much
time and energy feeding the youiig
bird.
You'll know the cowbird by his brown
head and ueck and glossy black coat
lie thinks he can slug and tries very
hard, but you'll laugh at his efforts
when you hear him. — Philadelphia
North American
His Method."^*
The little girl who was visiting at a
neighbor's house had gone out to look
at the horses.
"Here's one of them." she said, "that
has watery eyes and coughs and hangs
his head just the way papa's horse did
last summer."
"What did your papa do for his
horse?" asked the owner of the anl
ma Is.
"lie sold him." was the Innocent an
swer.—Pearson's Weekly.
Prune Little and Often.
Much of the beauty of roadside trees
and shrubs depends upon how skillfully
they have been trained. Trunin*: should
be done on the principle of "a little and
often." From the start give them that
little direction from time to time that
will keep them in perfect form and not
allow forked main branches. All cuts
should be made with a saw and all
wounds covered with a coat of paint or
some other preservative.—S. T. May
nard in Tree Talk
Optimistic.
Grubbs—1 never realized until now
what a thoroughly convinced optimist
Binks is. Stulibs—What made you form
your new estimate of him? Grubbs—
The fact that he is trying to raise '.'hick
ens. roses and two bull pups all on the
same lot.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.
A Large Truth.
"I wish 1 could earn a large for
tune."
"You've got the wrong idea, my boy.
Fortunes aren't earned; they're saved."
—Detroit Free Press.
No Safeguard.
"That fellow is as dumb as an
cyster."
"Maybe he Is. hut even oys'ers. dumb
as they are. find It hard to keep out of
a stew."—Baltimore American.
Macaroni.
The word "macaroni" is taken from
a Greek derivation, which means "the
blessed dead." in allusion to the an
cient custom of eating of feasts for the
dead.

AFRICAN ELEPHANTS.
They May Be In Captivity, but Thsy
Art Never In Subjection.
For many reasons the chase of the
elephant stands at the apex of sport
As a man killer in opeu combat he
ranks with the lion and the African
buffalo. He is the oul.v beast that fears
no otber. While he will almost Invarl
ably run from tbe scent of man be Is
as invariably ready to attack on the
slightest provocation. Fear does not
exist for him. His overwhelming bulk,
power, speed and Intelligence make
him supreme beyond the range of ri
valry.
As though this were not enough to
establish his pre-eminence. he alone
carries a trophy which Is one of the
staple products of the industrial world
The value of ivory rises. It never One
tnutes. Nor Is this ull In tbe mind
of the east the elephant Is intimately
associated with dignity, pomp, pageant
ry and kingship. But in the mind of
the native African be is kiug—a king
in his own right.
In this regard let it be affirmed thai
no elephant born in Africa has ever do
cilely paced n blppodromed stage, trun
died a circus wagon or taken children
for a ride in the park. Those sleep
walking cattle known to tbe American
public as elephants come from India
and are mere distant cousins to the
king. You may have seen the African
elephant In captivity, but never in sub
Jectlou. Chain him to the floor behind
Iron bars, and after ten years he is
■till quick to throw muck in tbe face
of the mau that Jeers at him.—George
Agnew Cbamberlin in Century
CHLOROFORM IN SURGERY.
Tha Horrori That Wara Stopped by lt»
U«s an Anaasthetio.
Sir James Simpson, who was con
nected with the medical department Of
Edinburgh university, if not actually
the discoverer of chloroform, wn at
any nite tlie first to introduce its em
ployment as an anaesthetic Into Bur
gical practice. This was in 1848.
Previously all o|<eratlons were per
formed without anaesthetics, the pa
dent being drugged with whisky and
held down by strong men while the op
eration was performed. No medical
discovery ever did more to alleviate
human suffering.
Sir James 1b generally given credit for
the actual discovery of chloroform, but
it is stated in some works that It was
discovered some years previous to his
first experiments by an American doc
tor named Guthrie and by a French
physician named Souberian. In any
case, It was Dr. Simpson who proved
its great value as an anaesthetic, and
the room in which he made bis first ex
perlments still exists In Edinburgh
The story goes that he tried the
chloroform on himself and two medical
friends. They proved Its efficacy by
simultaneously falling beneath the
table. Sir James had considerable
prejudice to overcome before cbloro
form was adopted generally by the
medical profession, it being denounced
at one time as dangerous to health,
morals and religion. — Pearson's
Weekly.
The Seal Ring.
The seal ring dates back to tbe days
of tbe Old Testament, and product* of
the glyptic art, a» gem engraving was
called, were known in the most remote
times. In Kind lis rxrlll. 17-20. men
don is made of the following stones
upon which the names of the twelve
children of Israel were engraved: The
sardlns. tbe to|mz, the caibuucte. tbe
emerald./tbe sapphire, the diamond,
tbe Ugufe, the it gate, tbe amethyst
beryl, onyx and Jasper In verse 2
of tbe same chapter we find mention
of tbe engraving of signets upon the
hardest stones It is believed that the
Egyptians Instructed the Israelites in
the art of stone engraving. The Egyp
tin us used the lapidary's wheel and
emery powder and knew the use of
the diamond In engraving other hard
stones. Among the Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins were found tine spec
imens of signets on gems, many of
them set in rings.
Dublin Caatle.
Dublin castle bus a history of over
•even centuries, for It was King John
who In 12CM ordered It to I* built, "well
fortified, with good fosses and thick
walls strong enough to defend or con
trol the city " Henry 111., when about
to visit Ireland In 1243. ordered the ad
dltlon of a bull, "with sufficient win
dows and glnwa casements." and other
Improvements were made In succeed
Ing reigns, particularly by the Duke of
Clarence, son of Edward IIL, who as
rlceroy spent much money on the can
tie to make It convenient (as his father
complained when called upon to pay)
"for his sports and other pleasures."—
London Standard.
Realletlo Play.
"Can't you children play without con
tinually ringing the doorbell 7" asked

"No, mother," said AJIee. "It's quite
impossible. You see, Edith and I are
playing house, and Freddie Is the col
