THINGS WORTH KNOWING RATS ARRIVED WITH THE PILGRIM FATHERS. There are several species of native rats in America, such as the roof or white-bellied, the cotton, the Florida and the Rocky Mountain rat, but ordinary brown and black rats came to this country from Europe with the early colonists. Both the black and brown rat are believed to be natives of China, but there is no way to prove it. The brown rat, however, did not appear in Europe until about 200 years ago. It first appeared in Russia and gradually made its way westward until >¦¦¦¦' BOLGIANO'S BULBS None Better Available Anywhere HYACINTHS CROCUS TULIPS NARCISSUS PEONIES JONQUILS In Name Varieties and Colors Choice Collections Fully Described In Our Bulb Catalogue A Postal Will Bring It The J.

LIGHT & PRATT STREETS Baltimore, Maryland iBissiBBiiiaBiiiiiiBa.....iiiiaifliBiasii AWAY BACK in the fifties, a New Yorker who lacked religion was accustomed to wind up his orations by criticizing the Bible's references to Oil unmercifully. "Could anything be more absurd," he would ask, than to talk of'Oil from the flinty rock' andYrocks pouring forth rivers of Oil ? If anything were needed to prove the Bible a fool book from start to finish, such statements would cap the climax of ridiculous nonsense! Next they'll be wanting us to believe that Jonah swallowed the whale! " Months and years passed by, and he continued arguing pluckily. At last tidings of wells flowing thousands of barrels of Oil a day reached him from Pennsylvania. He came, and saw the wonders. Remarking "I'll be jiggered!" the doubter doubted no more. He revised his opinions, humbly accepted the gospel and professed religion, openly and above-board. Hence the petroleum development is entitled to the credit or one conversion, at least. It has been the religion of The Red C Oil Company to produce—in The Red C Oil and The White C Oil, same except in color—as fine a Kerosene as the resources of nature and the efficiency of science can combine to create. More light for your lamps, more heat for your stoves and incubators, and unusually long-burning qualities for the sake of your pocketbook are in every gallon—in abundance.

It is said to have been definitely settled that the first sheet of paper was made by Ts'ai Lun, a scholarly but humble resident of China ( in the year 75 A. D. Prior to that, tablets of bamboo and a stylus were made use of, but he believed that something better could be arrived at and spent 30 years in perfecting the process of making paper, says th Boston Post. Forty years after this achievement h ewas raised to regal honors, with the title of marquis. DOIjIiY MADISON MADE ICE CREAM POPULAR. American businss owes 'a big debt to Dolly Madison.

So far as the records can be traced ice cream first was made by an English confectioner in London during the American Revolution. It was introduced into the United States by a Philadelphia caterer named Bosio in 1800, but never became really popular until Mrs. Madison, as mistress of the White House had it served at state dinners over which she presided in 1817. MR. AND MRS. JOHN BRADY OBSERVE GOLDEN WEDDING. CORONER'S OFFICE IS OLDEST IN JUDICIARY. The coroner is the oldest in historical duration of all English judicial officers. His beginnings are lost in the obscurity of Anglo-Saxon times, and William the Conqueror made vigorous use of his services as a holder of inquests in the compilation of "Domesday Book." His duties then included both his present tasks—namely, inquiries into fatal accidents and into the ownership of "treasure trove," and also another which has become obsolete —namely, the inquiry into a subject's assessment to and alleged evasion of taxes. Today the coroner is paid by a salary in lieu of fees; there was a time when coroners relied for a livelihood on the receipt of fees for each inquest held.

ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF ARTIFICIAL ROCK. To Joseph Aspdin, an unsung stonemason of Leeds, the world pays honor this year for his discovery, which literally cements the foundation stones of civilization. The one-hundredth aanniversary of Joseph Aspdin's experiments producing artificial rock, yellow like the rock from the quarries of Portland, is marked by the erection in Leeds by the American cement manufacturers of a memorial tablet to one "who made the whole world his debtor." "Greater tribute to the vision of Joseph Aspdin are endless white ribbons of concrete highwp o, the annual increase of whiet^Fin the United States alone would build three continuous Loncoln highways from New York to San Francisco," says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society from its headquarters in Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. John Brady, of Holbrook, celebrated their golden wedding at a solemn high mass at the Holy Family Catholic Church, Liberty road, Harrisonville, followed by an all-day reception at their home, Ravenswood. Mr. and Mrs. Brady were married October 25, 1874, in St. Charles' Church, Pikesville. Mrs. Brady was Miss Elizabeth McEnroe, of Baltimore county. Six of Mr. and Mrs. Brady's 10 children still are living. They are Mrs. John T. Allen, of Roslyn; Mrs. Rosa Blair, of Holbrook, and John Brady, William Brady, Joseph Brady and Patrick Brady. FUNERAL SERVIICES HELD FOR JOHN H. COULTER. Funeral services for John Henry Coulter, who died suddenly at his home, Willow Spring Shore, St. Helena, were held. A requiem high mass was celebrated at St. Rita's Catholic Church, Dundalk. The body was taken to Gloucester City, N. J., for burial. -----------o-----------. AUTO OWNED HERE 5 YEARS WAS STOLEN IN ATLANTA. An automobile purchased five years ago by J. Garfield Herrare, a farmer of Harrisonville,, was identified by the State Police as a car stolen in 1919 in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Herraro, accompanied by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. George W. Barry of Harrisonville, drove in the machine to the Frederick County Fair. When they returned to the car they found the officers in possession. BUILDING NEW WATER SYSTEM. CHEW 5,600,000 MILES OF GUM IN YEAR. Jaw-tireless flappers of the United States chewed so much chewing gum last year that, laid end to end, the sticks would reach around the earth 210 times. Basing their judgment on statistics issued at the Department of Commerce showing the value of the gum crop last year to have been in excess of $40,500,000, it was estimated that in the 120,000,000,000 sticks of chewing gum produced there were 372,000,000,000 chews. The chewing gum wouldmake a strip about 5,600,000 miles long. Just what energy was wasted in 1923 by chewing gum was a problem that even scientists at the Bureau of standards, who have tried to solve practically everything, declined to attack. It was thought probable however, that the energy, if concentrated in one big push, would move th earth about 10 feet out of its orbit and likely change not only the seasons but the length of years and the dispositions of most of the population. NEW GUNPOWDER BRIDGE IS OPENED TO TRAFFIC. The new concrete bridge replacing the one-way wooden structure over the Gunpowder River on the York Road, near Wiseburg, this county, which was wrecked when an Army truck plunged through it, has been opened to traffic. The United States Government is to bear the cost of replacing the bridge. A soldier was killed in the accident which wrecked the old structure.

A pipe line will be run from the Baltimore city tunnel below the dam to the school. A filtration plant and pumping station will be built on the line. PUGILIST'S AUTO IN ACCIDENT. While going to a football game, an automobile driven by "Bob" Garcia, pugilist of Camp Holabird, in company with Lieut. Victor P. Noyes quarterback on the Third Corps Area football team, was in an accident on the Belle Grove Road. According to police Garcia was driving west when Joseph Gaither, colored, of Glenburnie, attempted to pass with his truck and the car struck Garcia's machine a glancing blow. Gaither was summoned to the Traffic Court on a charge of reckless driving and not having an operator's card. -----------o----------- SINGS FOR BENEFIT OF SCHOOL FOR BLIND. Frederick Gunster, American tenor, who gave a concert in Newcomer Hall, Overlea, for the benefit of the Maryland School for the Blind, is a clever cartoonist, just as Enricho Caruso, the noted Italian tenor, was similarly gifted. Gunster delights making caricatures of his friends, and, like his distinguished predecessor, he frequently turns the laugh on himself. In addition, he is a well-known amateur golfer. ------------o----------- SUES FOR $5,000 DAMAGES. Thomas E. Crist filed suit in the Circuit Court at Towson against Mrs. J. I. Griffith, of Worthington Valley. He claims $5000 for personal injuries and property damage, alleging his automobile was struck by the defendant's automobile April 28, 1923, on Rogers avenue, opposite Pimlico race track.
