JEWELS IN A NEST.
Remarkable Find Made In North Ga.

While hunting In the Big Hole
Brook region of North Dakota recently
Albert Turner guide, made one of
the oldest discoveries ever recorded.
With companion named Burt, he was
caught In severe snowstorm miles
from camp, and, finding that 1t would
be necessary to spend the night In the
forest, the two set about chopping
down second-growth spruces with
which to make a leanto.
The snow was too deep to gather
fallen deadwood fer a FIRE. so Turner
took his Ratchet and hunted about for
a stump dry enough to burn. He
eventually found one.
Turner hacked off two feet of the
wood at a time as 1t was needed, End

the center which connected with an
opening near the top and rightly con.

about the substance he soon brought
to light a fine gold chain, scarcely
larger than a thread, to the end of

ct set with three sparkling diamonds.
Turner was greatly excited and called
to his companion. He pried the lock-
ct open with his hunting knife. and
found 1t to contain tiny photograph

the back of which was written Il. d.
The locket had lain underneath some
feathers and moose hair at the bottom
of the nest. and the chain had been
armly woven into the outer part of the
structure.

Smallest School In the World.

The little islet of Nordstrand-
schmor, in the North Sea, boasts
what Is probably the smallest school
in the world. Oceanic upheaval has
wrenched the islet away from the
island of Nordstrand, and the action
of the sea is continually wearing the
earth away. A century ago there
were fifty inhabitants, who lived by
fishing and rude husbandry, and In
1886 q little school was erected, capa.
BILE Of providing for about a dozen
children. With the dwindling of the
islet, however, the population has
thinned, and now numbers no more
than fifteen souls. For five years past
the school attendance has varied from
nothing to half a dozen children.
