Misunderstanding of Amer ican industrial organization, and of its benefits to mankind, leads to unrest, dissatisfaction, and radicalism. For example, the Federal Trade Commission tells the pub lic that the large packers had an agreed price for lard substitute (made of cotton-seed oil.) It reproducesletterstaken from the files of one of the packers, showing that such agreed price existed. But it failed to mention that the agreed price was deter mined at the request of and in co-operation with the Food Administration! Even the Department of Jus tice, in its unjust attempt to create prejudice against the packers, has made public these same letters,withno explanation. Thumb-Prlnts Used Centuries Ago. The use of thumb-prints as a means of identificntlon was the method used in China hundreds of years ago. The merchants of those days made Impres sions with their thumbs in lieu of sig natures. In the interior of China to this day the thumb-print is used on legal documents, especially wills. In place of the written name. The use of finger-prints was transferred from China to India, where the British adopted the system as a means of Iden tifying troops. From India the idea was taken to France, where It was used by the police in the identification of criminals, and since that time it hns been taken up in nearly all countries. Scientists claim the flnger-prfnt system to be infallible. Ginseng. Ginseng is a plant of the genus Araiia Panax, also the root of this plant, which Is highly valued as a tonic and stimulant by the Chinese, who ascribe to It almost miraculous powers. The Manchurian Is most es teemed, and sells for several taels per tlang, or Chinese ounce. The true gin seng \s a native of northern China and Korea. A quinquefolia is a very close ly allied species of the eastern United States, and its roots have been largely exported te China as a substitute, for the true ginseng. The only medicinal effect In either case is that of a mild aromatic stimulant. Dwarf ginseng, the Araiia trifoila, Is a low species of the United States, with a globose pus? gait root.

Ahead of His Time. The dream of John Wise to cross the Atlantic in an airship was never real ized, and yet that dream hns become an actuality almost a half century after this intrepid navigator of the upper air made his last fateful voy age. As far back as 1843 Wise pe titioned congress for an appropriation to finance his project looking to cross the ocean in a balloon which he de signed for long distance Journeys. For eight years he appealed in vain, the reasons given being that his proposi tions were not practical and that money Invested in such a project would be thrown away and the lives of thosp who made the attempt would be sacrificed to the ambition of a vi sionary enthusiast. In 18ol Wise again came into the public eye by again ask ing congress for an appropriation suffi cient to build an airship from which explosives could be dropped on an en emy either on land or sea. The same treatment was accorded to the Inventor as he had received for his other proj ects. In 1879 Wise and several com panions made an ascension at St. Louis, and were never heard of after ward.

In 107*1. on June 12. the settlement of Hadley, Mass., was attacked by a force of 700 Indians. When the ln habitnnts were in the greatest danger, a mysterious Englishman suddenly ap peared and led a counter-attack against tbp Indians, who were defeated and driven off. The stranger, who had never been seen before In the village, was said to be General Goffe, one of the judges who had condemned Charles I to death, and who had fled to the colonies for refuge. It was supposed' that he had been living concealed at the house of a clergyman in Hadley. After the conflict he disappeared and was never heard of afterward. Fire Worship. The worship of Are, or of the god of fire, or of the divine as typified by fire also, the ceremonial cult of a public or a family hearth, as practiced for instance, by all Aryan people, by all ancient Greek communities, by the vestal virgins of Rome, and In each ancient Greek and Roman family. The term fire-worship, as specifically applied to the religion of the ancient Persians taught by Zoroaster, and practiced by their descendants, the Guebers and Parsls of Persia and In dia, is, if taken literally, a misnomer derived from the Mohammedans, the fire being with these peoples merely a symbol of divinity and a visible sign of their religion. Woman's Brainiest Age. A woman's brain reaches its great* est weight about the age of twenty five, while in the ease of a man, this does not occur until ten years later. This explains the assertion that a woman at the age of twenty-one is in a better position to give a matured judgment than a man at the same age. i5
