rich in the phosphate of potash con-

WOMEN OF FINER TEXTURE
More So Than Business Men of the
United States, Declares Henry =,
James, Author.

In summing up impressions of his re-
cent visit to the United States Henry
James, the self-exiled American au-
thor, comments on the striking con-
trast between the men and wome1 Of
this country. mo impression" he
says, assaults the visitor to the Unit
ed States so promptly as the over
whelming preponderance of the IN
mitigated business man face with its
extraordinary intensity. Nothing,
meanwhile, is more concomitantlJ
striking than the fact that the women
over all the land appear to be of a.
markedly finer texture than the men,
and that one of the liveliest signs of
this difference is precisely in their less
commercialized, distinctly generalized
physiognomic character. The only
thing is that from the moment the
painter begins to look at American life,
brush in hand, he is in danger of see
ing in comparison almost nothing else
in it-nothing, that is, so Characters
tic as this apparent privation for the
man of his right kind of woman, and
this apparent privation for the woman
for the right kind of man."

UNEARTHING OIL IN KANSAS
Farmer Made First Discovery, But
Lacked Means to Put Ideas
to Profit,

The first discovery of oil in Kansas
was made by a farmer in Johnson coun-
ty who lived near the old Santa Fe
trail and found oil in a well IN his
farm and sold it to the freighters for
wagon grease. The early settlers
learned from the Indians these oil
wells existed in different parts of the
state, but little attention was given
them. 1t required the financial re-
muneration from the PENNSYLVANIA
field to stir the pioneer elements to ac-
ton in the undeveloped districts and
to bring to the Kansas field men of
capital and experience who would not
be discouraged by a few dry holes.
General attention was attracted to the
Kansas field in 1873, when the Acres
we'll was drilled at lola, where enough
gas was found to make it a commercial
quantity and show that it existed in
sufficient volume for fuel and lighting
purposes. Prospecting was rapid all
over the southeastern part of the state,
with the result that in 1890 many
towns were supplied wholly or in part
with heat and light for domestic use.

CENTENARIAN IS A TEACHER
Manuel Garcia at Age of One Hun
dred Is Still Enlightening
Britishers in Music.

Manuel Garcia, one of the most re-
markable men in the world, has re-
Gently sat for his portrait to John S.
Sargent. Garcia is Spanish singer
who visited the United States in 1925
with an opera company, and sang in
various parts of the country. The ia
nous singer, Madame Malibran, was
his sister. He returned to Europe and
taught Jenny Lind in Paris, and for
the past so years or thereabouts has
been music teacher in London. He
was 100 years old on March II and is
still teaching. He was professor Of
music in the British Royal Academy Of
Music until he was 80, when he retired
to receive pupils privately. 1t is be-
lieved that the portrait which Sargent
has painted is the only one of GEN.
tenarian in existence, and Garcia him
self is probably the only person who
ever taught singing in his hundredth
year.

HUMMINc BIRD FANS YOUNG
Feathered Mother Keeps Up Culver
ing Motion to Protect Wee Crea-
lures from Heat.

William Lowell Finley, the new nat
photographer, writes as follows
in the Country Calendar:
''The way a humming bird mother
would alight on her nest was marvel to
me. She always stopped on the dead
twig of a maple before dropping to her
home. l saw her do it several times.
She came at nest like a meteoric
streak. held my breath lest the whole
thing be splintered to atoms, for she
hit the little cup without the slightest
pause that could see But, when she
alighted, it put to shame the touch of
floating thistle-down.
when the nestlings were very young,
the mother never left them alone long
at time. If the day was warm, if the
sun shone on the nest, the mother hov-
cred over with wings and tail spread
wide. When it was hottest, have seen
the mother sit forward on the nest edge
spread her tail till she showed the white
tips of her feathers, and keep up a
constant quivering, tanning motion
with her wings and tail to give protec-
ton to the frail midgets in the nest"

A Soapy Lake,

Some interesting items may at times
be unearthed from the consular reports.
For example, there is a description of
a soapy lake in the annual statement
of the trade and commerce OF Nicara-
qua. This sheet OF water, the Lake of
Nejapa. contains a strong solution of
bicarbonate of potash, bicarbonate of
soda and sulphate of magnesia. This
water. when rubbed on any greasy OBJ
ject, at once forms a lather" The re-
port says it is used as a hair wash. and
enjoys local reputation as cure for
external and internal complaints The
Nicaraguans are not conspicuous for
commercial enterprise, but during the
year they managed to export -four
demijohns" of this wonderful water to
the neighboring Guatemala.
