WHY -
Hieronymus K. F. Munchhausen
Wes a Good Entertainer.
Hieronymus Karl Friedrich Munch
hnuscn (pronounced munk-hotixen)
was a member of an ancient German
noble fnmlly and was born at Bod
enwerder, Hanover, on May 11. 1720.
The ancestral home Is still there, the
residence of the burgomaster, and the
family arms (a monk beside a house)
Is cut In the stone. The Baron served
for many years as a cavalry officer
In the Russian army; on retiring. In
17G0, to his estates he would amuse
himself and Ills boon companions with
extraordinary stories of his adventures
and prowess, particularly in the Turk
ish campaign of 1737 to 1739. A for
mer professor and literary hack, Ru
dolf Krlch Raspe, who had heard some
of these stories, used them as a r -e
leus for a 49 page book he published
In Ixmdon In 1785. called “Baron
Munchhausen’s Narrative of his Mar
velous Travels and Campaigns In Rus
sia.'' Further editions have added new
material to the books, with Illustra
tions by many of the foremost artists
of the last century. Thp Baron died
on February 22, 1797. In the garden
of his home Is still shown the “lying
villa," where some of his tall yarns
were narrated.
Why Hoop snake Does Not
Roll Along Like a Hoop
The hoopsnake Is a small and harm
less snake of the south Atlantic states,
so-called because of the notion that
It curves Itself Into a hoop, takes Its
tail Into Its mouth and rolls along
at a merry clip. This notion is pure
ly mythical, although It Is believed by
many, especially the backland negroes.
Tlint any snake could perform such a
feat is absurd, and taking Into con
sideration the anatomical pecularltles
of the vertebral column it is clearly
Impossible. The hoopsnake does much
of Ids traveling underground, burrow
ing deeply Into the soil. He is a rath
er good looking snake, with a blue
black back, marked with three red
lines, and an under side of the shade
called nude, dappled In black.
Why Word ‘‘Tolly" It Used
The word “tally” conies through the
old English from the French "taiHe”
—a cutting. And the original tally
was a piece of wood on which notches
were cut to keep accounts. Then It
was one of two books or sheets of
paper on which corresponding ac
counts were kept. At one time It was
customary for traders to have two
sticks, or two halves of the same
stick, on which notches were cut, or
marks made, to Indicate the quantity
of goods bought and sold. Before the
use of writing, this was the only
known method of keeping accounts.
Tallies were regarded as evidence In
the courts, and In the English ex
chequer there were tallies of loans,
one being kept, the duplicate being
given to the creditor as a receipt.
Why Positive and Negative
The bureau of standards says that
the flow of electric current is now sup
posed to be really the passage of elec
tric charges through the conductor;
these charges are either positive
masses (protons) or negntive particles
(electrons), or both, depending on the
kind of conducting material. The posi
tive charges go in one direction, the
negative ones in the opposite direc
tion. The direction of the current
flow Is that In which the positive
charges move.
Why Indian* Ara Beardless
Most Indians would have a slight
mustache and some beard if they per
mitted them to grow. It was almost a
religion with the Indians to have a
smooth face. The warrior, while sit
ting by his camp Are, would continual
ly run his hands over his cheeks and
chin In search of hair, pulling them
out by the roots. Occasionally he
would use a piece of mussel shell, a
thin chip of flint or something simi
lar, to get a better grasp of the elu
sive hair.

Why Moves’ Statue Is Horned
Horns were used on the statue of
Moses by Michelangelo because of a
i mistranslation of the word “cornuta.”
The translator used the word “horns”
rather than “an irradiation of light,”
in the course of Interpreting a descrip
j tlon of Moses. The sculptors have
far oontnrfes adhered to this mistrans
NEW GOLD RECOVERY
METHOD BEING TRIED
A new system of milling gold
•ore which is said to reduce the
coot by 50 per cent and to
make possible the profitable
handling of low-grade quartz
is (being tried out by the Car
son Hill Gold Mining Company
in Calaveras county, Calif.
Company officials said the
system called for the regrind
ing of concentrates and mid
dlings after their being crushed
through stamps and ball mills
and concentrated. By the re
grinding, operators said, more
than 75 per cent of all gold in
the millings is extracted im
mediately. The tailings then
go to a cyanide plant where
the remainder of the precious
metal is recovered.
FIVE POPULAR SPECIES
IN SALMON FAMILY
Alaska is the greatest sal-1
men producing country in the
world but a lot of Alaskans do
not know much about them.
There are five popular spec
ies, each with distinctive char
acteristics. The chinook, king,
or spring salmon is the largest
of all and was the first variety
to be canned. Its meat varies
in color from deep salmon red
to a pinkish white. This sal
mon has a higher fat content
than the other. Also, because
of its size, it has more meat
and less skin; therefore it
makes an especially good ap
pearance serve dfrom the can.
The red, sockeye, or blue-1
back is perhaps better known
than the chinook. It is of a
deep red color, of firm texture,
with small bones and the flakes
are small and thin. It has a
lower fat and higher protein
content than the other salmon.
The coho is a medium red
j salmon, and while its food val
ue flavor and texture are good,
because of its lighter color it
sells at less than the others.

Why Rom* It “Et*rnal City"
The term "Eternal City" has been
applied to Rome from a very ancient
period. The city is so called by Ovid.
Virgil, and in many official documents
of the empire. Legend states that
Home was raised by or under the Im
mediate supervision of the immortal
gods. This Is given as one of the
reasons for the use of the sobriquet
Why “Billiardt" It So Named
This word is of French origin, from
“billiard.” wldch meant only the cue.
this being called a "bille.” or stick.
How the game began Is not known,
but it is said to have first become
popuiur when the French monarch
l.ouis XIV was advised, to take ex
ercise after meals. So he played bil
liards.—Answers Magazine.
Why It It “Scotland Yard"
The name is derived from the fact
that the old headquarters were lo
cated in the London palace of the
king of Scotland. When the new Scot
land yard was built the old name wai
I bestowed upon It on account of the
associations .
The pink salmon is the small
est of the salmons. It is of
good flavor and is nutritious,
its protein content being a3
high as that of the other sal
mons. Its cost is less than the
above mentioned salmons.
Chum is the cheapest of all
canned salmons. It is very pale
in color, yet it is wholesome, of
good flavor, and while lower in
fat content its protein is equal
to that of the other salmons.
