Perchance the plotter got the. praise;
The fawning fried was oft the foe
When William Shakespeare wrote his plays.
The query of the world has been,
Was Williams manner quick or slow?
His doubtful face, was it serene
Or flashed with interpretive glow?

Permanent Lamp Wicks.

An ingenious inventor has devised a
lamp wick which, being made entirely
of clay, will give more light than the
cotton article. It is described, made
capillary by Incorporating with clay,
while in a plastic state, filaments Of
unspun vegetable fibre, which are
burned out in the process of baking,
the object being to provide an indes-
tructible wick which shall possess all
the advantageous qualities Of an ordi-
nary cotton or fibre wick, and shall also
last an indefinite length Of time, with
out renewal or necessity of trimming
or other care When the clay is baked
the vegetable fibre is burned out, leav-
ing capillary tubes running Longitude
nally through the wick. through which
the oil from the lamp will be raised to
the flame by capillary attraction. Ow-
ing to the perfect combustion Of the
wick, the fame is perfectly white, de-
void Of odor and smokeless.

THE VIOLET IN FRANCE.
How It Happened to Become the
NaDO1eOnic Flower.

How 1t Happened to Become the
Napoleonic Flower.
In the morning of March 20, 1915.
Napoleon, who had been banished by
the allies to the Island of Elba, upon
returning suddenly to Paris for his
reign of 100 days was welcomed by
the women of Paris with showers of
violets. In memory Of this attention
on the part of the Parisians the En-
press Eugenia adopted the violet as the
Napoleonic emblem. Violets thus
became fashionable in the times of the
second empire to such an e%xtravagant
exent, that they were eaten as salad.
Marquis, the widely known confec-
toner, invented the sugared violet as
a bonbon. But not only was the pur-
pie violet a la mode, but the pale vio-
let from Parma, Italy, as well. Al
phonse Karr, the celebrated novelist
and poet, retired to Nice, where he de-
voted himself to the culture Of flow
ers. He raised these Italian violets in
such a quantity that he supplied every
morning the principal flower stores of
the capital with immense boxes COW
cred with wadding, in which these
flowers arrived as fresh as when gath,
cred from his gardens.

LAKE SUPERIOR.
Its Physical Features, It's Marvellous
Depth and Purity.

Its Physical Features, It's Marvellous
Depth and Purity.
Prof. Mark w. Harrington, chief of
the weather bureau, read a carefully
prepared paper on Some Physical Fea-
lures of Lake Superior" before a largely
attended meeting of the Geographical
society at the Cosmos clubhouse, Wash
ington, recently. The paper gave an
interesting description of the lake, its
area, coast line, islands, drainage area,
formation, depth, currents, changes of
levels, periodic and non-periodic
changes, temperature, precipitation.
forest fires, storms, winds, climate,
vegetation, soil, fauna and commerce.
Lake Superior, the lecturer said, was
the largest and deepest, not only Of
the great lakes, but of all the bodies of
fresh water on the earth. It's total coast
lin is 1872 miles, of which $50 miles
are on the American side and 992 miles
are on the Canadian side. The total
area, including bays and islands, is 49,
166 square feet. The islands have an
area of $50 square feet, and the bays an
area of 1,041 square feet, leaving a total
area of open lake water surface of 3d.
465 square miles. The boundary line
over the lake between the Dominion of
Canada and the United States is 2S9
miles long. Probably the next largest
body of fresh water in the world, the
lecturer said, is Victoria Nyanza, or
UkereWe, in Equatorial Africa, with an
estimated area of Is, 0 to 10000 square
miles, as against the Lake. Superior's
known surface area of 1896 square
miles. The combined area of the great
lakes of the st. Lawrence is 95,275
square miles, and a third of this is
formed by Lake Superior. The largest
island in Lake Superior is Isle Royal,
or the Regal island. The Indians have
always considered this island an evil
spirit, and even now are 10th to visit
1t. On account Of the large expenditures
upon 1t, with no adequate return, the
island has also proved somewhat of a
"hoodoo" to the white people. Carl
bou still remain on this island and have
become quite tame. The island is de-
scribed as an isolated and nearly sub
merged mountain ridge, rising from
1000 to $500 feet from the bottom of
the lake. 1t Is the only island of the
kind in the lakes, and is only paralleled
by isolated and volcanic islands of the
great oceans.

WINGED that they never could have left

ing fortune favored me. I had rOWed
along the lake shore to pay a visit to
a houseful of noisy red-wing black
birds. My boat was lying m%otionless
among the tall cat-tails that fringed
the shore of the lake. Suddenly I heard
a loud splash behind me, and, turning
to look, l saw on the water a short dis
lance away just shaking the spray
from her wings, a female wood-duck
and near her two tiny yellow balls, SO
small that they resembled water lilies
floating on the surface. The old bird
took wing, lowered and circled above
her babies for a few minutes and then
flew to a cavity in a tall tree, a short
distance away. In a short time the
male bird, arrayed in the handsomest
OF plumage, joined his mate. Then for
a few minutes l could hear a soft COO
ing noise, which reminded me of a hus-
band and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare
OF their children. The cooling soon
stopped and the mother appeared in
the doorway of her home. Then she
dropped towards the water at a slight
angle. AS her breast struck the water

body had been I was surprised to see
two little ducklings swimming about as

time it resulted in an addition Of two
