Of road inquiry in the agricultural depart
ment, revives in a report the suggestion
of grooved steel tracks for horse traffic
on highways. In substance he says that
previous to the experiments, of which he
has the supervision, steel tracks hereto
fore placed upon highways was done by
private enterprise, and so laid as only to
be used by vehicles with fanged wheels
When the government took the matter in
hand it was decided to experiment with
vehicles without fanged wheels on a
smooth track. A suitable space on the
grounds of the Mississippi EXPOSE
ton was secured for an experimental
track. The details of construction and
method are as follows: The road con-

plates have a slightly projecting f1ange

prevent the wheels without danges easily

Why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Them
. 20. d.. ms Food .... ....
At n recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, DR..
Washington Matthews, Of Washington,
D. c., read a paper on "1cthyophobia,"
which he described as an untipa thy to
fish, This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian
tribes. of the far southwest. who will
not eat fish nor have anything to do
with articles made in the shape Of fish.
This taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. \
probable reason why no more children
Of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was n
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
stition, which is as firmly rooted rs
any religion. says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish
taboo was given. There was a time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had n big pow-wow with the
river Indians. The result was that The
river IHdians agreed to XIII no deer. bu:
live entirely on fish, and the mountain
Ii.tidisS " bO 1911, Dul Nv"
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians vii! not
eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of its scarcity, and this reverence ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought, perhaps, this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish
taboo"

THE NEED OF POETRY.

Prof. Calvin Thomas, in June Forum
We need poetry for pleasure. Just in pro-
portion as our modern life tends to assume
a very solemn aspect and to become, for
the great majority, a treadmill strug
gle, do we need to guard all the more jeal-
ouSly our available resources of elevating
pleasure. If the poet, with his bagatelles
of fancy, can beguile us now and Their to
forget the awful burden of our responsible
ity for the worlds welfare, we should bless
him as a benefactor, instead of Gliding him
for his frivolity. AS means of pleasure,
poetry has some obvious advantages over
its chief modern competitors. 1t is less ex-
penSlVe than yacht or cottage by the
sea. 1t has not the nameless drawbacks of
an ocean voyage, and it is more accessible
than the Alps or Venice or the Louvre. 1t
does not aftlict one with backache, like the
picture galleries, nor prepare the way for
a sad morrow, like the festive banquet 1t

good society, and if you chance to be bored
escape is quickly practicable. You are not
dependent upon course of technical train

This would make trow, an impregnable
case, We're it not that all these advantages

MI the BILL" But this is no very hard
task. Let it be granted that very good

poetry; still they can do it only in a degree,

work of poetry at all. They are better. per-

who are deficient in literary sense. This ex-
plains their greater popularity. Take any
one of the myriads who read novels, but
eschew poetry, inquire into the grounds of
his preference, and you will probably get
an answer equivalent to this: Poetry is
too hard reading. 1t demands greater alert

Is well defined. His eye is very clear, and
