Canary islands gives an account OF
their athletic training which makes
even the college giants of today seem
weak and effenlinate.
Tie Canary islands were subjected
by Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The conquest WAS
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pcan weapons and not to better skill
and prOweSS. The native soldiers were
trained athletes. developed under ii
system which held athletic sports an
important business like military drill

From babyhood they We're trained to
be brisk in self defense AS soon as
they could toddle the children We're
peltcd with mud balls that they might
learn how to protect themselves. When
they We're boys stones and wooden
darts We're substituted for the bits Of
clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rlldiments of warfare which en-.
abled them during their wars with the
Spaniards to catch in their hands the
arrows shot from their enemies cross

After the conquest of the Canaries
Il native OF the islands was seen at Sc

throw at him rs many stones as he
pleased from distance of eight PAGES
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone.
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with SO great
rapidity that he could not catch it
Three men tried this. each with
dozen oranges. and the islander caught
every orange AS a further test he

NOT TRUE TO THE POLE.
The Nariations In the Pointing Of
the Com Qa ~

We commonly say that the pole of
the needle points toward the north.
The poets tell us low the needle is true
to the pole Every reader. however, is
now familiar with the general fact Of
a variation OF the compass. On our
eastern sea board and all the way across
the Atlantic the north pointing of the
compass varies SO far to the west that
Il ship going to Europe and making no
allowance for this deviation would find
herself making more nearly for the
North cape than for her destination
The "declination." as it is termed in
scientific language, varies from one re-
gion of the earth to another. In some
places it is toward the west, in others
toward the east.
The pointing of the needle in various
regions of the world is shown by means
of magnetic maps. Such maps are pub
lisheu by the United States coast sur
vey. whose experts make careful
study of the magnetic force all over the
! country It is found that there is a
lue running nearly north and south
through the middle states along which
there is no variation of the compass
To the east of it the variation is west.

changes in the pointing Of the needle
are toward the northeast and north

Washington it amounts to % degrees. -

many phases of it are pointed out by
Miss French's pen, which, however,
is tipped not with bitterness but With
a kindness that takes away the
sting of correction. very nice IL
lustration of selfishness is contained
in the following paragraph:

BAMBOO BLOOM DISASTER.
Chinese Believe That the Budding
Season Brings Dreadful
Misfortunss.

In some parts of China the natives
are in dread of the bloom of the bam-
boo, at which season all kinds of
dreadful disasters are predicted and
confidently looked for. Like some
other superstitions this one has a
slight foundation. The fast is that the
bamboo only flowers once and then
dies, and as a rule the whole lot of
plants, often covering large areas.
bloom together.
The reason Of this Is that the indi-
viduals of species are commonly gre
garious, and all are OF the same age.

of ground rendered vacant perhaps by
a similar depopulation.
A somewhat analogous case Is pre-
scented by some Of the Strobflanths OF
tropical Asia. These plants live about
seven years. then all burst cut into a
glorious mass of blue flowers and then
die away, leaving. 1t may be. hundreds
of acres of ground destitute of the
luxuriant vegetation 1t previously sup
ported.
