JOHN O'GROAT's HOUSE.
A Famous DomiciIe That Was Long
m Landmarks In Britain.

Famous DOmiciIe That was Long
Landmark In Britain.
In the reign of James ~. Of Scot
land John O'Groat and his two broth
ers, Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at
Caithness and bought the lands OF
Warse and Dugisby, near the beach at
the mouth of Penland firth the north
eastern extremity of the mainland of
Scotland In time their families in
creased until there were eight house
holds of the same name. They lived as
neighbors in the greatest peace and am
ity, each year holding a fes al in the
original house. At one of these annual
gatherings the question of precedence
arose among the younger members.
and they disputed as to whom should
sit nearest the "head of the table" or
enter the room first.
The old grandfather, Johnny O'Groat
Of history, was made arbitrator. He
promised to have all satisfactorily set
tied by the time of the next annual
meeting. Accordingly he built an eight
sided house in which to hold the an
nual jubilee. This octagonal domicile
was fitted with door and window
on each side and round table in the
center. This arrangement made it pos
sible for each family of the O'Groats
to enter by his own door and to sit at a
table which was practically without a
head"
This famous house was long a land
mark in Britain and even to this day is
one of the Englishman's starting points
of measurement, Lands End to John
ny O'Groat's' signifying from one end
of England to the other.

Animals and TELEGRAPH Poles.

"a strange thing is the effect Of cleo
trical energy on birds and wild beasts"
says telegraph hneman quoted in the
Philadelphia Record. "Woodpeckers
are continually tapping telegraph poles.
In the country you will find every
where poles honeycombed by the
sturdy bills Of woodpeckers. The birds
mistake the humming sound inside the
poles for the humming Of insects, and
it is to get at these supposed insects
that they make their perforations.
Bears, on the other hand, think the
humming comes from bees, and they
overturn the stones at the poles base
in their endeavor to get at the honey.
Wolves are afraid Of the sound. a
wolf won't go near telegraph pole
under any circumstances"

Northern Wisconsin,.

Banner part of a great state, as
given by Fred Reithbrock, Pres.
Wis. Development Association.
Northern Wisconsin embraces
practically one-half of the area
of the state or about 17,OOO,OOO
acres of land, and extends from
east to west at its greatest width
about 225 miles, and in It's great
est extent from north to south
about 100 miles. To the east OF
it is Lake Michigan, to the
north is Lake Superior, to the
west of it is the Mississippi.
In the northern border we
have what is known as the
Penokee range, an elevated
territory extending east and
west, the summit of which is not
more than twenty-five to fifty
miles from Lake Superior.
The whole territory south OF
this elevated range is an inclined
plane. sloping to the eastward,
to the westward, but mostly to
the southwark. The surface Of
this plane in most parts is gent
ly rolling.
There are numerous small
lakes, especially in the north
eastern parts, and innumerable
springs. creeks and rivers which
discharge their waters into
Lakes Michigan and Supe rior,
but mainly into the Mississippi
river.
The water in this territory
is clear, and in most places soft.
Trout, bass, perch, muskalonge
and other game fish abound IN
the lakes and rivers.
The soil, according to location
varies from light sandy to a
heavy clay, but by far the larg-
er portion of the territory has a
clay loan soil. 1t is safe to say
that the soil of two-thirds of the
whole territory is clay, and that
one-third of it's sandy.
Throughout the most part of
northern Wisconsin thes rests
on rock bottom, the underlying
rock belnga fine rock, of a granite
nature said to be the first incrus-
tation of the earth.
An abundance of water is found
in this rock. The upper surface
of this rock for a distance of four
to six and sometimes ten feet, is
very much broken. The upper
surface is soft. These are in
Vulnerable depressions in this
rock surfrce, all of which are
filled with water.
The climate is beautiful, as is
general in Wisconsin. The
people are strong, active and
progressive, as people usually
are in a country that has snug
winter in it's change of seasons.
In the summer it does not be-
become as excessively hot and
dry, as we often experience it in
southern Wisconsin, showers are
more frequent. The excessively
dry and hot winds from the south
west do not seen to penetrate
northern Wisconsin, but when
the wind does prevail from that
quarter it is generally followed
by rain.
During this season there is a
more even rainfall in northern
Wisconsin. This, together with
the great depth of soil, accounts
abundantly for the greater
growth of vegetation throughout
this section.
During the last few years
there has been a very rapid
growth of population in northern
Wisconsin, and it is only a ques-
ton of a short title when the
rural population of northern Wis
consin will be greater upon any
given area, than in southern, or
neighboring states.
