a Dwarf Takes Second Growth.
Sir Godfrey Hudson, the celebrated
English dwarf Of the seventeenth Gen.
fury. was doubtless the most widely
known human curiosity of his time. He
was born Of parents of the normal size
at Rutlandshire in 1919. At birth he
weighed less than a pound and a halt,
n was only 8 inches in length. He did
not begin to walk until after the end of
his third year. his height at that time
being less than a foot. At the end Of his
seventh year he was taken into the fam
lily of the Duke Of Buckingham, having
between the ages Of 8 and 2 years added
but four inches to his stature. With
Buckingham he lived until 80 years old,
at which time he was only 10 inches in
height when equipped in fashionable
high heeled shoes.
At the age Of 30, however, a remark
able change came over the midget, and
for the next five years his growth was
a. remarkable for it's rapidity as it had
previously been for its b~ackwardness.
At the age Of 30 his height had been
scant ~ feet. At 35 it was 8 feet and

change was brought about was a cues.

Ordinary Hours of Living.
"My chief trouble now" said the re-
tired burglar, "is about my hours. I
have been SO long accustomed to work
ing nights and sleeping days that l find
it difficult to change back to the hours Of
other folks. Instead of having my break
fast at Z O'Clock in the morning / have
it at Z O'Clock in the evening. Some
folks make their dinner the last meal
in the day, but l never could get used
to that. l can sleep better on a light
meal, so l have my dinner in the mid
die Of the day. mean the middle Of
the night--and my supper about 8
O'Clock in the morning.
This schedule works all right for
the first half Of the night. There's plen-
ty OF life then, and | can &C to the thea
ter and II place and another, but after
dinner, | must say, l find it pretty
tedious. When I was at w0rk and my
mind was occupied. | never thought
anything about it, bat now it is differ
ent. This is "a bigger town than it used
to be, and it's open all night. There's
plenty Of occupations nowadays that
people work at all night, but the people
hat work at 'eln are working at 'em.
You dom see 'em around the streets,
and the general fact remains that most
people work days and sleep nights, and
the cold fact is that from dinner time
to supper time I feel sort O lost.
but I'm not discouraged. Idon't sup

Maine Volcanoes.


Although Haystack mountain in Aroos-
took is said to be the remains of an ex-
tinct volcano, it has been the general
opinion that the traces of lava in Maine
were conspicuous ouly by their absence
But Prof. W. S. Bayley, of Colby uni
versity, is quoted as proving by a series
of rocks at North Haven, that Knox
county once was the seat of great vol
cano which was subject to as violent
eruption as Vesuvius. Even to the pres
ent day lava sheets may be seen stretch
ing over the northern half of Vinal-
haven.
"W hen Vesuvius was BORN" says Prof
Bayley, sit cast up ashes and dust, which,
in falling, burned the cities of Pompeii
and Hercuaneum. The Maine volcano
emptied similar material, and in quanti-
ties large enough to bury dozen towns.
The age of this old volcano, and even its
exact site, are not yet known, but 1t Is
such perfectly preserved example of an
ancient volcano that it has attracted at
tention beyond the borders of the State,
and will be studied extensively by G. o.
Smith at the Johns Hopkins university,
and will be made the subject Of his
doctors thesis.
