A Chicago man has just traded a
collection of cancelled postage stamps
for modern hotel at Hurley, Wis,
valued at $4,000 B. S. Ross is the
name of the philatelist (his friends
called him a crank, who twenty years
ago, began the collection of local and
foreign stamps.
He accumulated them by the million.
Then came the opportunity to dispose
of portion of them for small fortune
in the person Of the young son of John
E. Burton, a wealthy mine owner Of
Hurley. Mr.. Burton owned the hotel,
which has eighty rooms and is one OF
the best known in the state.
His son had for several years been
an ardent stamp collector, and was de-
sirous Of going into the business for a
livelihood. Ross was willing to take
the hotel in exchange for sufficient
stock of stamps to set the young man
up in business with.
II took about $1,000 600 stamps to buy
the hotel, and Mr.. Burton and his son
were engaged for nearly week IN
counting out the $4,000 worth The
stamps were piled high in an express
wagon. There were in the lot stamps
ranging in value from 10 cents per
1 900 to one for $500.

Queer Pair Of Eyes.

Frederick Baufield, who suffered an
injury to one of his eyes a few years
ago inflicted by flying splinter in the
East Side Southern Pacific shops, is
just back in Portland; from Vienna,
after a course of treatment. While
there he was for two months totally
blind. His sight, after it was restored
to him, proved remarkably abnormal
in fact the most scientific authorities
on diseases of the eye say that there
is no similar case on record. Baufields
right eye became hyperopic, and the
left myopic; in other words, he could
see nothing close by with his right
optic, but at long range he was able
to discern the smallest object. Then
at a distance of twenty feet, the larg-
est object was blurred to the left eye,
but within six inches of it the most
infinitesimal atom was magnitied to
as great proportions as though it were
beneath the most powerful microscope,
says the San Francisco Call.
BAYFIELD, is somewhat sensitive on
this subject, as most abnormally aftiict-
ed people are, yet a few days ago he
practically demonstrated to a few in
innate friends the unheard-of degree
to which he was suffering from hyper
opia and myopia On one Of the recent
clear afternoons he read the print OF
a newspaper at a distance of 200 feet,
while his left eye was blindfolded, but
when the paper was placed immediate
Iy before him he was unable to deci-
pher a letter. In addition he described
the color of a very small piece of cloth
one of his friends had projecting from
a thumb nail 500 feet distant
To test his myopic vision strong
microscope was employed. Two tests
were made, the right eye being closed.
A drop of water and a small piece of
a house fy's wing, were the objects.
In both instances BAYFIELD, described,
with the use of his naked eye, what the
others saw only with the aid Of pow
erful instrument.

The Tiger Snake.

There is no known antidote for the
bite of the tiger snake of Australia,
Persons bitten die almost instantly,
and the government has standing
offer of $4,000 for anyone who will dis
cover a remedy. Some few years ago
a man named Underwood actually dis
covered an efficacious antidote. To
prove its value he allowed himself to
be bitten repeatedly by snakes in full
possession of the power to kill. He Of
fered his discovery to the government
for $4,000, but this amount they
thought exorbitant. One day he gave
an exhibition before some government

Indian. who would naturally be dis

Of visit from a squad of police. The
wroug-doer, no matter if he lives on
the very outskirts of the reservation,
sixty or eighty miles from the agency,
knows that visit from the police is
lust as certain as that the sun will
rise and set. and he knows also that he
will receive prompt punishment for
whatever crime he has committed.
He cannot elude the policemen, for they
are yeritable bloodhounds. and never

Profitable Industry Developed Lately IN
California


A California correspondent writes az
follows:
1T Is estimated that seven ostrich
farms in Southern California have sold
over 100000 worth of feathers during
the last year. and that now, after more
than twelve years of costly and DIS
couraging experiments, a majority OF
the ostrich farms in this region pay
dividends. Several Of the enterprises
are pronounced successes, and nave
paid good interest on the capital III
them for several years, The greater
part of the money invested in the pro-
duction Of ostrich feathers and IN the
big birds in California has come from
England and New York The industry
is a popular one for young Engishmen'
fresh from college or the academies
and possessed of ample means and
spirit for novelty Of business pursuits
There are over fifty bright young men
from England now engaged in manag-
ing ostrich farms in this part OF Cali
fornia, and there are others recently
from London who are in search Of
suitable localities among the valleys
and foothills in this region for new
ostrich farms. 1t takes a capital OF
$4,000 to establish any sort Of an os-
trich farm, and $4,000 to 100000 is
required for a first-class, well stocked
and scientifically arranged farm
THE men who have been in the os-
18th ,,1,,,,,c i,,I,ctr,F in, Cont horn Cali
fornfa since 1884 say that there has
never been such a demand for ostrich
plumes as this season. Dame Fashion
has made their business suddenly be-
come most profitable, and every man
engaged in ostrich farming is hoping
that the present fashion for wearing
ostrich plumes in profusion will con-
tinue for several years. Last month
the heaviest consignment Of ostrich
plumes ever made from Southern Cali
fornia went to Paris from Los An
geles.
Ostrich farming was first made an
experiment at Los Angeles and Fall
brook in 1888, by cora any Of French
men. The profits from the several os-
trlch farms in this section have grown
each year as the habits of the birds
have been learned and the ostriches
have become acclimated There are
now successful ostrich farms at South
Pasadena, Anaheim, Fallbrook Santa
Monica, Coronado and Pomona.
There are about 400 ostriches in
Southern California, and they have be-
come so common that none but tour
lists, who come to spend the winter
seasons here, take any curious inter-
est in the birds. The capital invested
in ostrich farming in this region is
roughly estimated at 100000, and
there will probably be $4,000 to $7O,-
600 more invested in the industry be-
fore this year is over.

- "People" or Persons"
correspondent Of the Critic IS re-
minded by something that there is one
word which is misused by every jour
naljst and every author wherever the
English language is written--the word
people.' The misuse complained of
consists in using people" as the plural
Of person." and an instance of 1t is
credited to Mr.. HOwells, who is criti-
clsed for writing of three people" sit
ting In room. The authority who crit
icises him points out that people" is a
collective noun, and can properly be APP
uled only to nation, n tribe, a class,
or "A community, and that such phrase
MS fifty people were injured is "slop-
Nv English" "For twenty-five years"
fays this complainant Il have kept my
eve on this little word people, and |
have yet to find a single English or
American author who does not misuse
IT,
1t seems to have occurred to him that
grammar is subseryient to language,
aad not language to grammar, If the
best British and American authors for
the last twenty-five years have occa-
sionally used people" in the sense of
persons" there would seem to be war
rant for the suspicion that in the pres
ent status of the English language that
usage is permissible. persons" is n
hard-worked word, and writer's whose
literary ear Is sensitive Will hardly be
estopped from relieving the strain on il
at times by using people in Its stead.
Whenever the misuse of familiar word
has become universal, it seems safe to
recognize that the word as, misused Is
necessary to convenience of expression;
and when any word in any sense has
proved itself necessary, it might as well
have space allowed 1t in the dictionary
and be accepted HarpPrs Weekly.

Mhalas Are Hard to Find.

The motive which has begun a new
period of Antarctic exploration is very
evident and definite indeed The sup
ply of right whales has practically
given out in the North, owing to the
oyer-demand caused by the high price
of whalebone. The oil, to be sure, is
not worth nearly so much as in the
palmy days of New Bedford and her
sturdy whalers, by reason of the cheap
production of its rival, petroleum. But
the bone is sold at IS per pound, and
right whale may have in his capacious
laws a whole ton of the precious COM
modify. With each animal furnish
ing small fortune for a seafaring man,
it is not surprising, in these days Of
harpoon guns and steamships, that the
Arctic Ocean has been plundered OF Its
whale wealth So whalers are turning
their attention to the waste of uneX-
plored waters. Ross thought he found
right whales in 1924, but Borchgreyink
and his contemporaries failed to come
up with them -Scribner's.
