| June 5, 1920—Page 8 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. Wasted energy of the sun Only a Minute Fraction of Its Tremendous Heat Strikes the Earth and Becomes Useful. A digression on the energy of the past sun may be permitted. All that the earth has caught, for all the millions of years that it has existed, is the merest fraction of what the sun has radiated in the same time, according to a lecture by Sir Oliver Lodge, reported in the Scientific American. The earth to the sun is like a printer's full stop at a distance of ten feet from a halfpenny. Some of the radiation from a globe one inch in diameter falls on the spot. one one-hundredth inch in diameter ten feet away, but that little speck only catches the hundred and fifty millionth part of the whole. What has become of the rest of the solar energy? It must still be careering through space. *The ether is perfectly transparent and only when it encounters matter will the radiation be mopped up and turned into heat. Not bur sun only, but all the millions of other suns, Wave likewise been always pouring out radiation into space. Is there any hope of catching and utilizing it? I trow not. In spite of all this constant flood of energy space is cold ; very near absolute zero. The reservoir is so enormous that all these taps, running for ages, have made no impression on it, have not raised the level a perceptible amount. HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES By Them It Is Possible to Ascertain What Races Have Inhabited Different Districts. In the earliest days of the human family} all known persons, places and groups of human beings must have had names by which they were recognized. The study of these names and their ^survival in civilization enables us often to ascertain what races inhabited districts now peopled by those of entirely different speech. The names of mountains and rivers in many parts of England, for instance, are Celtic. Ancient local names are, as a rule, purely descriptive. A river is called by some word which merely signifies "the water," a mountain may have a name which means "the peak," "the castle," "the point." English place names generally state some simple fact, and often denote no more than property; the name of a town or hamlet being formed by adding "ton" or "ham" to the name of some early landholder. Quite often a bit of even half-humorous description will survive, in such a name, as when a stony, starved ¦ ami W&ed^ dis|rict_2s_called . Staryacre.. Parisian Mementoes of Napoleon. The statue of Henri of Navarre on the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, is a memento of Napoleon, for it was cast from the bronze of the emperor's statue which was torn from the top of the Vendome column in 1814.« This column was erected to honor the victories of the great soldier, his martial deeds being depicted in a spiral strip which covers the surface of the pillar. His figure, in the robes of a Roman emperor, has since been placed at the top. The Exchange bridge was erected by Napoleon and still bears his monogram, the arches. The famous colonnades of the Louvre district are his work. He designed them in memory of his native Corsica, where that type of architecture is common. Overcoming Insomnia. The treatment of insomnia or sleeplessness is a simple matter. Psychoanalysis or a physical examination discloses the real source of the disorder. Insomnia has its foundation in loss of general health, worries, bad habits, need of ventilation and sunlight. Retire early at night, even if you cannot sleep. This restores the normal habit. Take a glassful of hot milk, a few crackers and a hot bath before you retire, A cold pack to the head and a hot water bottle to the feet help to woo slumber. A triple effervescent bromide tabloid or two in a glassful of water before bedtime will usually soothe the sufferer back into the land of Nod and a good eight hours of sleep. Diamond Thieves Easily Detected. Diamond stealing in the South Af-frican mines is becoming precarious business. The blacks still swallow them or hide them in self-inflicted wounds, bu,t these methods no longer suffice. Coolidge X-ray tubes are so mounted in a frame as to illuminate the whole body of tlfe stripped native standing before them. The entire body of the hundreds of miners can thus be brought into view in the fluoroscope in a few seconds, and any diamond present, even if behind thick bones, is quickly detected. The glow of the diamond under the X-rays, as well as its dense opaqueness, aids in detection, it is said. Flying Casualties. Revised figures from the war department show that there were but 583 casualties among American aviators in Europe during the war. Of this number 491 were among aviators with the A. E. F. and the remainder among aviators on duty» with the British, French and Italian armies. The casualties are classified as follows: Killed in combat, 208; prisoners, 145; wounded in action, 152; killed in action; 41; missing in action, 29; injured in action, 25; interned, 8. SAVE ALL THE CHICKS REINFORCED FOR SAFETY IT'S IN THE BUTTERMILK RED COMB CHICK MASH PREVENTS DIARRHOEA Why take chances in raising chicks? Be safe from the very start. Adopt safe methods and feel secure. That is a wise business policy. Wise men learn from the mistakes of others and make as few themselves as seems to be necessary during" the experimental or uncertain period. It is not necessary for you to suffer unnecessary losses. Red Comb Chick Mash Is Built for the Chick. It is not a simple mixture of ground grains. It is scientifically compounded to meet three requirements. First, to grow chicks rapidly at the rate of 1 lb. a month ; second, to protect the chicks from disease germs which produce white Diarrhoea ; third, to insure the health of your chicks throughout their growth and ultimately the delivery of a finished product, in numbers very closely approximating, if not exactly the same number as at the start.
