LOWELL'S WITCH FARM"
Forest Near New York City That at Times Appears to Have
 Farm on It

A curious story of James Rus sell Lowell has appeared. The tale is printed with question marks, says the Chicago Daily News. It runs about as follows and deals with d witch farm" The place is a forest near New York, at some distance, but with in walk from the city. On the edge of the forest farm will at times appear, which no one re- members to have ever seen, unless he happens to be among the few who have had the uncanny priv ilege. There is no one about the farm, no sound is heard, yet there are signs of busy occupation. The door is open, empty milk pails lean against the wall, newly cleaned pans and dairy utensils and butter churns are set out to dry; clothes hang on the line in d little drying ground.
 Whoever chances on the farm seldom stops long to look. He will pass on, thinking to himself: "I don't seem 10 remember that farm. must inquire about it in town In town not soul knows anything about it, and never will that person see the farm again, however often he may return to look for it. Then others will go out 10 seek the witch farm. Over and over again will they pass and repass the very spot where it had been seen, retracing their steps and puzzling and saying: Ut must be there; We have mistaken the way
 There are few indeed to whom the spectral farm has shown it itself. Lowell himself once saw 1t. On the verge of the wood he passed a homestead which ap. peared precisely as has been de scribed. Lowell saw if all and passed on without thinking; then suddenly stopped short with d feeling of something strange, turned and sauntered slowly back. But no house at all was there and he was unable to find again the ex- act spot where it had been.

They grease themselves with bears fat, clarified, and, using no defense against sun and weather, their skins must needs be swarthy. Their eye is little and black. The thick lip and fiat nose, so frequent with the east Indians and blacks, are not common to them, for l have seen as comedy, European like faces among them of both sexes as on your side the sea, and truly an Italian complexion hath not much more of the white, and the noses of several of them have as much of the Roman.
 ''Their language is lofty, yet mar row; but, like the Hebrew in sig, nifcation, full. Like shorthand in writing, one word serveth in the place of three, and the rest are supplied in the understanding of the nearer; imperfect ill their lenses, wanting in their moods, participles, adyerbs, conjunc- tions, interjections. l have made it my business to understand it, that 1 might not want an interpre- ter on any occasion; and l must say that know not a language spoken in Europe that has words of more sweetness or greatness in accent and emphasis than theirs.

SHOWERS IN AFTERNOON
According to This Account They Are More Frequent Than in the
 Morning.

Did you ever stop to think about the fact that we have more showers in the afternoon than We have ill the morning. and the causes which bring about this re sult?' asked man who takes an interest in meteorological ques tions, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The chief factor is the upward movement of the air which is brought about by the heat. You see in clear weather the heat is not at its height until midday. The changes which set in as a re suit of the air movement in the afternoon, and the gradual with drawal of the suns force as the orb rolls down toward the west ern horizon will bring about just those conditions favorable 10 the production of showers, and the next result is the showers We so often experience in the afternoon.
 There seems to be in this, as in all of natures plans, fine wis dom. It would be impossible to measure the advantage of these showers 10 plant life. Often plants need resuscitation after the severe heat of the day. They are in wilted condition and need the sprinkling we give the plants in the flower garden. Nature does the sprinkling by sending a good. refreshing shower, The afternoo" shower is a great institution. too, from the standpoint of human be ings, and other animals, for an imals, you know, frequently begin to droop under the depressing in. fuenCe of severe heat. And, as a rule, the shower is needed more in the afternoon than at any other period of time'

Jerome Hart writes in the Chi cago Daily News: Il never heard any particular bother made. over the number of the Scandinavian islands. 1 had often heard eff the tiOrds, never of the islands There fore, l was surprised when we sailed through the endless isles of granite piercing through steel cOlored swirls of sea. For the islands around the coasts of Den mark, Sweden and Norway and thence across the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland are liter ally endless and they are all of primitive granite. There are great islands. small islands, little islands, iSlets, rocks. pinnaeEes and needles. Thousands of fhefa are nameless. although all lSee"efnI be chartcd. Coming from fist North cape down to the coast of Norway through the Skager rack the kattegat, past Copenhagen and up into the strait between GOtland and Sweden, l believe tth ships must pass through scores Of thousands of islands.

Hart writes "I had often heard of the St. Lawrence's Thousand islands, yet when first sailed on the St. Lawrence I was disappointed in the number of is lands, numerous as they are. When I mentioned this to Cana dian acquaintance the rcproach- fuI reply came from the Canuck; Well, anyway, there are nearly 300 of them.
