If ever a state might be said to
breathe. that state is California. 1t has
a magnificent lung action, says the Sun
set Magazine. Deep and long drawn are
the breaths of ocean air taken by the
great valleys. And you can almost see
this breathing If you will go to the top
of any of the hills bordering the bay of
San Francisco. In general. air move
ment or wind is initiated by difference
of temperature. Therefore on summer
afternoons while the broad ocean lies
TRANQUILITY sleeping at a temperature of
55 degrees f. the inland valleys are
basking in the same sunlight. but the
air few feet above the ground is quiv-
ering at temperature of 100 degrees
F. In other words, there is a tempera-
lure gradient of l degree per mile, and
this brings about a marked movement
of the air, the motion being from the
cool to the warm locality.

Human breath and Bees.

Bees are revived by human breath.
even when apparently dead. An old
writer on the subject describes how,
during very wet May, he discovered
hive which had been working well
previously whose tenants seemed to be
dead, but by putting few of them
into his hand and breathing upon them
for several minutes he at last observed
some motion at the second joint Of
their horns. By perseyering he re-
vived them all, and they became the
best. hive in his garden. He is. how
ever, careful to remark that those who
use pomatum, perfume or hair powder
should not make too free with the in
sects during the process of restorat ton.
The secret, of course-though at one
time the thing was regarded as mirac-
ulous-is in the warmth conveyed; but,
besides this. there is no doubt that bees
are reused by human breath, to which
they have such an antipatky that they
are much more easily handled If the
operator draws his breath gently and
takes care not to direct it against them.

The Rhodum sidus.

An amusing story told by Hood de-
scribes how a country nurseryman
made large sum out of sales of
simple little flower which he sold I'M
der the name of the Rhodum sidus. This
charming name proved quite an at
traction to the ladies, and the flower
one of those freaks of fashion for which
there is no accounting. At length a
botanist who found that the plant was
not an uncommon weed requested to
know where the nurseryman got the
name from. He elected the following
reply: Il found this flower in the road
beside us, so ehristened it the Rhodum
sidus."

THE LoNeFELLow sCHooL LEAeUE

THE LoNGFELLow SCHOOL LEAGUE.
Thanks are due parents and friends
Tor their interest in the Longfellow
league. All were encouraged by their
presence In the last two meetings.
The league members are wide awake
and active. Through diligence and
economy they have secured a fine hard
wood chair and three pretty picture
frames. One was used to frame State
Superintendent Stetson's picture which
he presented to the league.
The walls have been decorated with
drawings from the Busy Work series,
map drawing, free handed sketches to
illustrate the poem "Hiawsths". All
the children deserve great credit.
The school paper is very interesting.
An editor Is chosen each week. Other
members furnish the items.
A barometer was presented to the school

Hlppolyte Boussac states that the in

changing a snake into a rod is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They

matter Of pleasant surprise to his
friends.
"Six weeks ago it looked like

"It was thought by many at
first that Senator Money would
simply wipe up the earth with
the governor on the stump,
while the actual facts have de-
veloped that the governor is
much the stronger speaker Of
the two. In the very nature Of
things this must be true. Long
ino represents the present and
the future. Money represents
only the past. Longino, like a
modern John the Baptist, pro-
claims a new dispensation and
the hope of better things in the
future. Money, like jeremiah |
of old, only predicts an Iliad Of
woes. One is an optimist, the
other a pessimist.
''Is it any wonder that the
people of Mississippi, who be-
lieve that their state is destined /
to a glorious future, should turn
to the rising, rather than to the
setting sun.
'Despite the howl Of disap
pointed politicians, the people. of
Mississippi, l mean the hard
working, honest common people
of Mississippi, have never yet
proven themselves ungrateful to
faithful public service, and they
are recognizing in Governor
Longino a man who has de-
served we'll Of his people, that in
spite of great abuse, in spite Of
misrepresentation and senseless
he has always had
