Farmers in our extreme northwest.
ern states have been greatly puzzled
over the origin OF fires occurring upon
their prairies far remote from locomo-
tive sparks. in sections not visited by
Indians and at seasons Of the year
when there were no hunters in the
country. They have carefully traced
back the progress OF these fires until in
each case they have found the flames
proceeded from point in the grass
where lay castaway beer bottle, itself
the focal point OF all the trouble. The
spherical glass in the bottom had acted
as a powerful concentrating prism and
through this the SUMS rays had fired
the dry plain. Thus the traffic which
corrupts politics endangers rural PROS
perity. On the whole will not some
body rise up to tell us what class in the
community the brewery does benefit
and how?

No Political Bosses In England.

The British voter knows nothing of
delegates, conventions or party mana
gers. He walks into the polling booth
and votes directly for the man Of his
choice. 1t is true that both the Con
seryative (now the Unionlst and the
Liberal parties have paid official who
is supposed to undertake general super
vision Of party interests in the elector-
ate throughout the kingdom. He Is
generally copsulted by constituencies
in the selection of candidate. What
he tenders In response is advice, not In
structlon. Nothing is calculated more
quickly to put up the back Of a con
stituency than any movement having
the appearance of dictation from Lon

Crooked Houses IN Holland.

There are many buildings in cities
in Holland which were originally and
Enthusiastically built out Of the straight.
For instance, not far from the Hotel
VIeux Doelen, where the delegates to
the peace conference stayed, there is
an extension being built to one Of the
churches, and, although the walls are
not yet completed, they lean outward
more than twelve inches. Another In
stance OF this is found In some OF the
corner houses, whose walls lean out
over each street. In many cases new
houses are evidently put up to match
the houses alongside. Strangely enough,
though, there are comparatively few
cases on record of collapse.

A sheet Of water one inch thick anu
one acre In area weighs l01 tons.
An old Danish galley was recently
dug up in England, while an excaya-
ton was being made. Its tlmbers
are Of oak and elm and they are well
preserved. The vessel Is assigned 70
the time OF Alfred the Great, which
would make il over one thousand years
old. An antique sword and some bones
Of animals now extinct in England
were also found.
Some OF the vast changes which the
face of the earth has undergone are
indicated by the recent discovery In the
small lakes scattered among the eA-
tinct volcanoes OF Auvergne In France
OF the survival Of certain forms OF ma
rine animals. Salt plains exist there
whose deposits We're formed before vol
canic forces upheaved the surrounding
rocks and created mountain peaks ana
craters.
1t has been asserted that insects are
particularly attracted by the colors OF
certain flowers. Felix Plateau, after
Investigating the conduct OF insects In
their visits to various flowers, con-
cludes that while they may perceive
colors and thus be enabled to distin-
guish, at distance. between flowers
and leaves, yet they show no prefer
ences among the different colors. biue'
red, yellow, white are Indifferent 70
them. He thinks that the odor OF how
ers affects insects more than their col
ors do.
The experiments Of the French grape
growers In Algeria have shown that
too much sunshine is unfavoraDle Tor
the making OF good wine. In the more
temperate climate OF France grapes
possess proper proportion OF sugar
to acid for wine making, but the NOT
Algerian sunshine induces so active an
assimilation by the vines that the
quantity Of acid is reduced and that OF
sugar is increased. In consequence
the wine makers Of Algeria are driven
to many devices for improving the ma
yor and lasting quality of their wines
X-rays have been subjected to q
novel purpose in Calcutta. A thief was
supposed to have stolen a diamond
worth 10000 rupees and to have efec'
tually secreted 1t on his person by
swallowing 1t. Expert thieves In lndia
temporarily secrete small valuables ol
this description in the throat II IL
called ''pouching," and the thieves un
dergo special training In order to rem
der them proficient In the art. Tnt
plan is simple. A small piece OF leaC
is attached to a thread, and this tht

swallowing the lead by the piece o

/ the man has become skillful in this ac
. of swallowing, the leaden pellet is coat
} ed with lime, which has the effect Q
: enlarging the sac so that it become

in placing the apparatus. The chair Is
wheeled to the window, and the but
toned back stripped of, when the reel
Of links and rungs Is presented to view.
The outer end of the ladder is provid-
ed with two graphing hooks. which
are attached to the window sill and the
reel tossed out of the window. The
weight of the ladder holds the hooks
firmly, and the ladder is then ready for
descent. When the apparatus Is in
position in the back Of the chair It is
concealed by a covering Of cloth. which
is provided with snap buttons around
its edge. this being the handiest to

THEY NOW KNOW BETTER.
Geoloxists Have Discarded the Old No
..,, ahout Glacial Movements.

Geolo9ists Have Discarded the Old No
tiou About Glacial Movements.
A few years ago geologists confident
ly asserted that at one period OF the
worlds history great ice cap came
moving down from the polar regions
and swept over North America as far
south as latitude 38, carrying with II
great bowlders-which lie about on
slopes and hilltops to this day to prove
it-and scratching the record OF Its
movement upon cliffs and ledges. Then
this Ice cap kindly melted and disap-
peared. This was taught In the schools
and to doubt 1t was heresy; for science,
when It takes up with theory, is dog
matte, and all biologists said: Behold
how wonderful is our knowledge; what
secrets we can wrest from the past!
After a while science rather gave up
the polar ice cap theory and laid down
new dogma-that Of single CONT
mental ice sheet for North America
The recent Investigations Of officers
of the Canadian geological survey
prove that the scientists evolved their
glacial theory out Of vivid magma
ton. 1t has been found that In north
ern Alaska there Is no evidence that
that part Of the country ever was COW
cred by a glacier-in fact, conclusive
evidence exists that 1t was not. At the
mouth Of the Mckenzie River Is plenty
of evidence Of glacial action, and also
that the glacier which left its records
came from the south. On the western
shores of Hudson Bay are marks OF a
glacier which came from the west and
on the eastern shores Of one which
came from the east. East Of the Cana
dian Rockies is a long belt which shows
no evidence of ever having been ex-
posed to glacial action.
These and similar discoveries have
put the geologists "all at sea-" and they
now have evolved new theory regard
Ing the glacial period. 1t is that one
big glacier did not at one time covel
all the North American continent, bu
that several glaciers, moving at differ
ent times from different centers OF dis
tribution, made their way in differen
directions and left the glacial records
which are now found. They have ever
given names to these glaciers, such a
