Ever since the war between Russia and Japan began the little Leas had been stirred to a sympathetic warfare in the nursery and over the border: of wooden Japanese soldiers, Uncle Billy had given them a regiment of metal Russian soldiers, their father had given them a fleet of worships and their mother gave them a Red Cross nurse and ambulance ito prevent their becoming altogether ferocious and bloodthirsty" she said.
 Polly always sympathized with the Russians Betty was for Japan and Rosemary loved to run the Red Cross end of the warfare and care for the wounded. Engagements were many and disastrous Long files of soldiers lay prostrate at the end of each battle, out of them were ready to stand up to fight and die, If necessary. for their country and their flag the next day.

 There was only the gentlest little motion to the boat. This and the soft tapping of the water soon sent the boys off to sleep. Only very observant person seeing the sneakbox anchored there would have noticed that the hatch was raised slightly at one end. No one would have guessed that under heath 1t two boys were slumbering peacefully. The boys and boat had no other protector than the man in the moon, who looked graciously down upon the tiny craft sleeping so trustingly on the bosom of the wide silver river.
 After he had been sleeping several hours, Buck began to dream. He dreamed, first, that. he was in an, ele- vator that stopped at every hoor Then he dreamed that he was home, but that the house was being moved very carefully down the street and around the corner. Then he dreamed that he was in the middle of the Pa- cific Ocean in an open boat. which a large fish, presumably a whale, had taken in tow. He decided to put his lead out of the hatch and see whether really was a whale. He did so and

The boys had a sober thought that perhaps 1t would be better to cut the line at once and not wait for the man to haul their boat upon the shore. He might belong to a gang of tramps toward whose headquarters he was taking them. In this event the of getting away with their sneakbox and. indeed, were more than likely to suffer physical violence themselves.

Vast Value of Eggs and Poultry.

Last year the poultry and eggs pro-
duced and eaten in the United States
were worth moro than all the gold and
silver mined in tho world during the
same year. Except for the year 1900,
the egg product Of the country has ex-
ceeded in value that of its combined gold
and silver output for every year since
1850, which takes in the entire bonanza
period OF our history. That, with the
poultry product, also exceeds In value
the wheat crop of % of the most fruitful
States and territories.
Reduced to concrete terms, In 1879 the
egg record OF this country was LOO
600, 900 dozen. There are 80 dozen to Il
crate, and 400 crates to a car, so train
of cars sufficient to accommodate the
transportation of all these crates would
reach from Chicago to Washington, II
distance OF SOS miles, and then there
would remain several cars of eggs to
spare. In 1900 Iowa produced $1,000
600 dozen and Ohio 91,000,0oo, having n
value of over $10,0oo,000 for each State
OF course, the incubator has considera-
BILE to do with poultry production, but
il cubators do not lay eggs. In single
year the value of the eggs and poultry
of the country has been as high rs S2So,-
100000.

Trees Turned to onnL

Most people have heard Of the petri-
ned forest of Arizona, but few are
aware OF the existence of another pet
rihed forest in Montana, of equal ex-
tent and more remarkable than in Arl-
iona. The Arizona petrified forest is
peculiar for the reason that entire trees
ana logs have been turned to agate by
the action of the elements. That of
Montana Is still more remarkable, for
the reason that trees and logs have
been changed to opal instead of to
agate, making a peculiar and beauti.
full ornamental stone 1t Is not un-
usual to find logs and trees converted
to agate, chalcedony, silica and quartz
but, aside from the Montana petrifled
forest there is probably not another
example OF opalized wood in the
world.
