Wears a Queens Crown.

When Jay Gould as young man
was wandering about the country try
ing to sell books the queen of Spain
was wearing as her crown the valu
able possession which now often

was exiled she carried with her most

Spanish grandee, known as the
Prince Drago, came to America. His
sole fortune consisted of the gorgeous

Cow of Bible of 1894.

An old German Bible, copy of the
one translated by Martin Luther In
1884, was purchased recently at a
paltry price by Seattle man from
a stranded German sailor. The book
is said to be Of priceless value. The
present owner is reader Of the
Scriptures. He has been offered a
large sum for the book, but refuses to
part with it until he has read 1t
through.
The volume was printed in Nurem-
berg in 1920. 1t is foot thick, and is
printed on very heavy paper. Despite
it's age it is well preserved and the
type is as clear as If it had been set
yesterday. The many illustrations,
splendidly made from old-fashioned
wood-cuts, are copies Of old paintings.

A CroWless Rooster.

Realizing that a crowless rooster is
long felt want George f. Natchwey
of Seattle, Wash, invented one, rather
mute male fowl. Natchwey has two
samples of the crowless bird, both
full grown and silent. Whether they
are deaf and dumb Natchwey does not
know, but they can't, don't or won't
crow. In all other respects they are
like ordinary ROSTERS.
The crowless fowls are cross Of
Black Spanish with Wyandottes.
Whether this result will happen every
time in crossing these two breeds
NatchWey does not know.

HIGHEST Waterfall in the World.

The highest known waterfall in the
world was the Cerosola cascade, in
the Alps, having drop of 2,4OO feet.
But one in the San Cuayatan canyon
in the state of Durango, Mexico, now
claims first place. 1t was discovered
by some prospectors ten years ago in
the great barranca district, which is
called the Tierras Desconocidas.
While searching for the famous lost
mine Naranjal. great roar of water
was heard. With much difficulty the
party pushed on and up and down the
mighty chasm until they beheld the
superb fall, which is said to be at
least 5000 feet high.

Peat Fuel by Electricity.

Another process for the manufac-
ture of peat coal, which, according to
it's promoters; threatens to revolu-
tionize the worlds coal trade, has ap-
peared. The peat is first subjected to
process of dehydration by beating
fans, and is then disintegrated' cleo
trically, without loss of any of the
valuable properties which it possesses.
1t is then nodded and pressed, and is
ready for use. According to the re-
port, the actual cost Of producing one
ton of peat is SIPS, and the product is
said to be equal in every respect to
Welsh steam coal, costing over 81 at
the pits mouth.

THE KING OF Ell MS.
Little Town of WethersfieId Boasts Of
Splendid Tree.


What is said to be the largest elm
in New England and one Of the great
est trees east of the Rocky Mountains
is in the historic little town Of Weth-
ersfield, famed for it's onion gardens
and its prison. The elm stands on the
lower end of the old town square, op-
posite the Smith house, still occupied
by descendants of John Smith, who
planted the tree over ITO years ago.
At the base where some of the mas
sive roots, as they radiate from the
trunk, protrude above the surface, the
circumference is 551s feet, while the
main trunk above the ground is 22s
feet in circumference. According to
Oliver Wendell Holmes classification
Of elms, this would come easily with
in the first class, and with something
to spare, for all elms with girth OF
twenty feet short distance above the
ground he catalogued as Of the first
order of size. New England, with its
multitude of great elms, can show few
whose measurement from two to four
feet above the surface will be twenty
feet.
Four huge branches spring from the
trunk of the Wetherfield tree. Each
one of them would make big tree In
itself.

eRAssnoPPERs AS A EELIcAcY
Are Esteemed Highly by Housewives
of the Philippines.

Big grasshoppers, such as grow tat
and buzz loudly in the Orient, are
looked upon as table delicacies in the
Philippines.
There are several methods used by
the natives for catching grasshoppers,
The most effective is the net. This is
a large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over a hoop, and to the
latter is fixed long handle.
The hopper is first so thoroughly
dried out in the heat of the sun or in
the bake oven that there is nothing
left that is really Objectionable, and q
nice crispy article of food results. This
tastes sweet of itself, and something
like ginger biscuits. The natives usu
ally sweeten the grasshopper more by
using a sprinkling of brown sugar
Then the confectioners make up grass
hoppers with sugar, chocolate trim
mings, and colored candies in such a
way that very nice tasting piece Of
confectionery is obtained. The house
wife of the Philippines takes consider
able delight in placing before you a
nice grasshopper pie or cake. The
grasshopper pie is the most wonder
full dish, as the big hoppers are pre-
pared in such way that they do not
lose their form.

Skulls of Japanese Show Race More
Monaghan Than Caucasian.

MOHSOiIdI iHo' SouSoS'o''
The Japanese type is intermediate
between the Caucasian and the Mon
golian, and, though it shows many
gradations, it is, on the whole, much
nearer the latter than the former. The
most striking popularity of the Mon
golian skull is the great development
or the upper jaw bone. The front OF
the face is broad and fiat, and the
transition from the front to the side is
sudden, not gradual, as in the Euro,
pean. The bridge of the nose is low
and broad, and this produces the
peculiar, oblique Monaghan fold" in
the upper eyelid, which makes the
eye appear to slant more than it does
in reality.
We have, then, in the Anus prim-
tive race, very closely akin to the
Caucasion, the blending Of which
Monaghan elements must have pro-
duced in Japan types similar to the
other white and yellow crosses which
we call Malays. The history of Japan
proves that the Monaghan element
