MESSAGE ROUND THE WORLD
Time spent and Cost of Photograph n X
Two Words Forty Thou
snud Miles.

A Paris correspondent Of Nature
writes: July the Temps resolved to
send message round the world by
telegraphy, using the Anglo-French sys-
TEN of transoceanic cables. The mes
sage was sent from Paris at ii a. m.
and consisted of the two words Temps,
Paris. with the indication OF the route,
via Malta, Alden, Singapore, Brisbane.
Vancouver and French Atlantic cable.
AS the indication OF the route Is not
paid for, the cost OF the experiment was
only 1928. No previous explanation or
preliminary notice had been served TO
the several companies. but the organ!za-
ton Of the Anglo-French system is SO
perfect that the message arrived at the
Temps office at $50 p. m. The time
spent had been six hours for travelling
about 10000 miles, measure OF the
commercial speed of electricity on the
occasion Of the Inauguration or the
American, Sandwich, Philippine and
Hong Kong system"

A NEWLY-COINED WORD.
An Ugly One md the Thing II stands
For Has Very Ugly
Aspects.

Any familiarity with continental jour
nalism and periodical literature brings
the reader in these days face to face at
every turn with the newly coined word
'arrivism" and with dissertations on
the modern tendency which 1t repre-
sents. The word is a very ugly one. says
SCribner's, and the thing which IL
stands for certainly has very ugly as
pects; but II is doubtful whether we can
dismiss as insignificant, either the one or
the other. Doubtful whether we can do
so in our quality Of Americans, espe-
Cially. The conservative European, who
Is rasped and abraided by the general
rawness resulting from the doctrine that
the most of the time spent In preparation
for the achievement Of the ends OF life Is
time wasted, and that the wise course to
pursue is simply to get there" and to
learn by doing or enjoying instead OF
learning to do or enjoy, does not hest
tate to say that 1t is the American and
his Americanism that are primarily re-
sponsible for the doctrine. And he IS
right.
We have, In effect, a new way OF re-
garding human existence and the human
career, in this particular. We are In
clincd to apologize for this new way at
times, and at times to- assert with un-
necessary aggresslveness that II Is the
only right way. In reality, we probably
ought to do neither. The matter is still
on trial.
Whether "arrivism" be humanity pos
sible when pushed to its logical limits,
whether 1t Will give us more out OF life
or less, is what we do do not yet know
and cannot yet tell But It Is the con-
temporaneous problem, and one surely
calling for meditation and experiment.

Name Famine In Denmark

The Copenhagen correspondent of the
Berlner Tageblatt has sent his paper
an interesting article on the name

says, is the choice OF the family name
so limited. 1t very often happens that
four persons unknown to each other
sit down to game of whist, and later

JUSTICE OUEERLY DISPENSED
English MaRistrate Encourages the
Belief That Malefactors Would
Better He Drunk.

Being under the influence of drink is
committed a crime, but it would seem
that one magistrate is inclined to be
an exception to his brothers on the bench
In this direction, says Cassells Journal.
Recently a justice of the peace had
two young men before him on a charge
this obviated the necessity for evidence
being given, the magistrate was some
what in the dark as to their culpabil-
ity.
We'll, sir" he said addressing one
of the prisoners. have you anything to
say in extenuation of your offense?'
The prisoner hung his head and re-
piled meekly:
your worship, I was drunk when I
did it,"
Drunk" exclaimed the magistrate;
that makes the offense all the worse.
You will go to prison for three months.
And you, sir" he continued, addressing
the other prisoner, what have you to
say for YOURSELF"
Nothing, your honor?" was the re-
ply
Were you drunk" pursued the JUS
tice.
mo, your honor; was never drunk in
my life"
Indeed" exclaimed the magistrate,
raising his eyebrows in affected aston
ishment. Have you not even that ex-
cuse? Then you will go to prison for
six months!"

HOW DEER ARE tanned.
1t Is Easily Done IL They Are Tax en-
In Hand While in the
Fawn Stage.

Fawns are now losing their spots.
Those born earliest in the spring have
lost them wholly and show coat of gray
mixed with red, very inconspicuous
hue. Nature takes care of the young
deer until they are able to take care Of
themselves and the present coat Of
fawns no longer under the guardianship
Of their dams is one of the hardest things
to see in all Of the woods, says the New
York Sun Of recent date.
The deer when half-grown is safter
than at any other time in it's life, for it
. has as much speed as it will ever have,
It's protective celebration is nearly per-
feet and 1t has not lost the instinct to
squat and hide which was with it when
it was born, and which 1t loses almost
wholly as it nears full stature. The
fawn, up to the time when it takes its
place with the fully grown deer, is Curl
ously adept in hiding.
1t selects instinctively place where
the color of the ground is the color of its
hair, drops upon its belly, shrinks until
its neck is drawn we'll In and its chin
rests on the leaves and it will lie there
while the hunter walks within six feet Of
It, No grouse chick an hour out of the
shell and secreting itself under leaf
at the bidding Of its mother, ever lay
more closely until danger passed.
Nearly all the fawns captured in the
northern woods are taken because of
this popularity. 1t sometimes happens
that the sharp eyes OF the woodsman
pick out the crOuching animal and when
this is done he has no trouble in ap
preaching near enough to spring upon
the fawn and take it in his arms.
Put in pen it will take food from the
hand almost from the first and in week
will be thoroughly a member Of the
family. It's domestication too appears
to be proof against many temptations to
return to natural state
Three years ago, Hugh Boyd who
runs a little sawmill in Price county,
Wis, brought home two female fawns
and put them in pen. They did well
and when nearly grown were set at liber-
ty, each wearing a small bell. They

fall and winter
During the following summer they
were frequently seen in the neighbor-
hood Of the house. In the fall one on
them was shot and killed. Bess, the 9TH
er one, lived on. This spring she ap-
peared again at the Boyd homestead,
still wearing her bell and at her heels
was fawn two days old. She was put
into her old pen without trouble The
fawn is now as much at home as its
mother
1t is the ready and constant supply of
food that keeps the deer faithful to the
place of their domestication In hard
seasons they are always near home and
the bell on the Boyd deer may be heard
tinkling close by on almost any winter
night.

POTATOES A GREAT CROP.
Any other single Product
of the Farm.

The opinion generally prevails that
wheat or Corn-in some regions one and
In others the other-Constitute the crop
OF greatest value to the world Such
is not the fact. The potato leads all
other staples, being produced at the rate
Of 1000 900 900 bushels a year, while
the wheat yield is only $500, 600, 600.
Europe produces seven-eighths OF the
worlds potatoes, but It Is little ireland
which eats most Of them, averaging four
pounds OF potatoes a day per capita The
United States is on record as the greatest
neat-eating country In the world, II, :
10000 900 pounds yearly being con
sumed here. There are psychologists who
ascribe to this her power on land and
sea. Johnny Bull has the sweetest tooth

MASQUERADING FRUITS.
Nuts and Seeds That Resemble In
Form Certain Animals
and Insects.

OF fruits that resemble animals, the
buffalo-headed nut. trapa bcornis of
China is perhaps the most astonishing.
Nothing Is more curious than It's re-
semblance to buffalo-head, horns,
eyes and nose.
1t is an aquatic plant, with dsseCted
submerged leaves and a tuft of aerial
broad leaves. The nut contains sweet
edible kernel. and a species in Cashmere
is a staple food One species has been
naturalized in our Concord river
These nuts are also known as water
caltrops, in allusion to the spiked balls,
formerly used to impede cavalry. The
initiative shape has no supposable use,
except as the horns may hinder animals
from swallowing It.
Some seeds resemble insects, Thus.
the husi Of biserrula pelecinus suggests
a caterpillar or centipede; the seed
of the castor-oil plant a beetle, and,
still more, a jatropha would easily be
mistaken for a beetle, showing thOraX
and two elytra with their lines of or
namentaton.
A low leguminous plant of the Med
iterranean region. scorpiurus subvil-
losa has a pod that resembles n worm
or serpent more than scorpions tail.
which Is the meaning Of the generic
name; but in scorpiurus vermlcullata
the likeness to caterpillar is SO strik-
Ing that the pods are sometimes laid
upon salads to test the nerves of guests;
the latter is called the caterpillar plant.

Queer lnderclothes.

Eskimo women wear the most curl
GUS kind of underclothing its peculiari-
ty being that It is made of the skins OF
birds These skins before being sewed
are chewed well by the women in order
TO make them soft About a hundred
skins are required to make a shirt. and
the labor Of chewing the skins which
form their garments is quite enough to
account for the massive, well-developed
Jaws of Eskimo women.

WHEAT CROP BURNED

Nearly the entire wheat crop on farm
near Glasgow, owned by ex-senator Sam
mel Alrich, was entirely destroyed by
fire early on Saturday afternoon. At the
time Of the accident the wheat was being
threshed by one of the many travelling
threshing machines in this section. The
machine ran for a short time in the
morning and about so bushels were
threshed. Shortly after the dinner hour
a spark from the engine fell and set fire
to the straw already threshed. In an
instant it blazed up and before it could
he checked had spread to the several
stacks of what unthreshed. 1t was about
| O'Clock when the fire started and it
burned until o'clock. Every bushel of
wheat on the farm except the so bushels
threshed in the morning was destroyed.
While no estimate of the crop could be
obtained, it is said to have been large
one.
When the fire first started every effort
was made to put it ont, but without any
srccess. Buckets of water were thrown
on the stacks of wheat, but this seemed
n separate the fire and cause it to spread.
A fter that the workmen could do moth
inc but stand by and watch it burn. The
stacks were situated close to the out
buildings, but fortunately the wind was
blowing from them and consequently
tbev did not catch on fire. The owner
~ the thresher got his machine away
without il being damaged.
Mr.. Alrich lives in Glasgow and his
form Is run by tenant. There was
slight insurance on the wheat but not
near enough to cover the loss.
