WHY - —
People Do Vote for Different
Parties and Leaders
Scientists of the Carnegie Institute
at Washington conducted a learned
Investigation Into the question of why
people of superior Intelligence and
with the same high purpose of pro
moting good government vote for dif
ferent parties and candidates. Of
course, suys Pathfinder Magazine, It is
hard for an enthusiastic partisan to
udrnlt that the person supporting an
opposing candidate is Intelligent, pa
triotic or even honest. But it is
true, and even the excited partisan will
concede It after he has cooled down.
It mny be added that voters do not
always agree with themselves. Some
few start out in support of one can
didate and switch to another in the
course of the race. There is such a
mixture of Influence—reason, heredity,
training, environment, prejudices, per
sonalities, words and deeds, emotion
—pulling at every person that It is
hard to understand the result, or to
explain why members of the same fam
ily often differ.
The scientists tried an experiment of
having several thousand persons taste
an Identical chemical. Some pro
nounced It bitter, others sour, sweet,
salty, and even tasteless. It was also
found that some people cannot smell
the odor of a skunk. So It was con
cluded that different persons see,
taste, smell and view the same things
differently.
Why French King Bridge
Is Given Unusual Name
During the French and Indian war,
a party of French and Indians came
down the Connecticut river on a scout
ing expedition, their object being to
spy out the most desirable point to
luunch an attack at a later time. The
party was under the command of a
French officer. They reached the vicin
ity of a rock as the shades of night
appeared. Being of no mind to attempt
the passage of the rapids just below
the rock iu the dark, they made camp
on the western bank opposite it. The
rock being the most conspicuous ob
ject which had attracted his notice, the
officer wished to mention It in his re
port and tlx it as something which
might be referred to iu the futre; hence
be staged a ceremony by lighting an
altar fire on Its top. sprinkled it with
water of the river, and christened
it French King In honor of his sov
ereign. The set-back from the dam at
Turner Falls now covers all hut the
top of the rock. It may be seen from
the upstream side of the bridge and
has been known for years as French
King rock; lienee, French King bridge.
Why tki Road* Wind
English roads have more bends In
them than the roads of any other
country. But every curve In a road
has some reason. Has It ever occurred
to you that It would make your walks
more Interesting to find out the
reasons for the bends In the roads in j
your own neighborhood?
Itoad builders have never made a
curve In a road without some purpose,
and if you can find out what that pur
pose was—by using your eyes and by
asking people—you will get quite a
good idea of what your town or vil
lage or suburb was like before the
roads were made.
These are a few of the reasons for
roads winding:
To avoid a steep slope.
To ovoid swampy ground.
To skirt the edge of somebody’s
land.
To avoid a house that had been
built'right In the way, hut which has
long since vanished, leaving only the
bend in the road ns a record.
Why Bee* Swarm
The latest theory about the puzzle
of the swarming of bees is that our
hive bees are descended from Indian
bees which migrate when flowers die
in one district and blooin In another,
and that our bees retain the age-old j
migratory instinct. When a queen J
leave* a hive with a large number of
followers, her Instinct has urged her
to seek fresh supplies of food. Swarm
ing does not usually take place at the
height of a particular honey flow, but
us one begins to fail. From April to
August the supply of the nectar of
flowers of which bees make honey is
very Irregular. There Is a gap, for
Instance, between the blooming of ap
ple blossom and of clover. Then th#
old migratory Instinct asserts Itself.
THE ICE PATROL
It sometimes takes a great
disaster to awaken a community
or a nation to the fact' that a
known menace to life and
property .often may be removed
through intelligent action. Such
was the lesson of the Titanic,
sunk through collision with an
iceberg on April 14, 1912, with
a loss of 1,517 lives.
This shocking tragedy of the
sea aroused a demand for pre
cautionary measures, (resulting
in the formation of the intei*
national ice patrol to watch for
and report the locations of ice
bergs in the North Atlantic
steamer lanes during the dan

Why Engines Puff
An engine puffs, choo, clioo, choo,
choo, because the steam is exhausted
from the cylinders at each stroke of
tlie pistons. The steam, its work
done, is sent Into that section of the
railroad engine known as tlis exhaust
nozzle, and so out through the smoke
stack. The fact also accounts for the
reason one sometimes feels light
moisture coining from the smoke.
Were it not for the presence of steam
with the smoke, there would be no
noise and no choo-choo, and what
would a big, husky, railroad engine be
without its choo?
Why Church Custodian I* Sexton
It is a corruption of the word sa
cristan. a church official who hag
charge of the “sacra,” such as vest
ments, cushions, vessels, books and
so on.
Why Birds Are Light
One reason that birds are so light
in weight for their size is that their
bones are hollow instead of being Ailed
with marrow.
genoois season of each year,
which is in the late spring and
early summer.
Ten nations joined in beam
ing the expense, the patrol duty
being performed by the United
States Coast Guard cutters.
This patrol has been main
tained each year since the Ti
tanic disaster, with the except
ion of two years during the
war.
Two cutters are employed
each year, using Halifax as a
base, and they send out inform
ation of icebergs sighted, this
information being transmitted
by radio to all vessels in the
danger zone. Captains of ves
sels of all nations cooperate by
reporting to the ice patrol any
icebergs sighted by them , this
data also being broadcast by
radio 'twice daily.
In the 20 years since the ice
patrol was established not a
single life has been lost nor a
single ship damaged through
collision with icebergs. Truly
a fine record.
