CATCHING SOFT CLANS.
An Interesting Occupation on tn
ghore Mt, Low Tide

An Interesting Occupation on the
shore at Low Tide.
As we walk along the shore at low
tide, on the lookout for seaweeds or in
teresting animals, little jets Of sea
water will be seen squirting up from
holes in the sand. Let us dig rapidly
down under one Of these tiny openings
and we will catch the spurter, the COM
mon soft clam, but II we are not quick
enough he will burrow so rapidly as to
disappear entirely and only send a last
spout Of water into our faces, as II in
defiance. Place the shell In a glass Of
sea water and when the clam gains
confidence he will extend from his she'll
the long tubelike siphon, and the two
openings In the end Of It, with their
fringed borders, will be seen.
Now take compound microscope or
a magnifying glass and watch the
water above the siphon. You will see
that it is moving. With the minute
life forms 1t contains the water sweeps
in swirling currents toward one orifice
of the tube and plunges suddenly down
it. Then, after passing over the gills
and body of the clam and giving out
nourishment, the water is expelled
through the other tube, and we see 1t
rising slowly from the opening. If,
however, the clam takes a fancy to
contract his she'll and so hasten this
motion we will see little fountain
shoot up and sprinkle the surroundings
just as they were observed to do on the
shore.-St. Nicholas.

May sutton. Tennis Champion.

California Is proud Of Miss May SUIT
toms success in the recent English
tennis tournament, and during its
progress the bulletin boards Of the
newspapers in Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena were surrounded by interested
throngs. Strange to say, in this
Sutton family, which boasts Of four
girls, all of whom are tennis experts,
Miss May, the greatest of them all,
was most unpromising beginner.
When q child she seemed to be all
'hands and feet" so much 80 that
her elder sister, who tried to coach her,
gave up In despair. To her sisters
taunts May replied. "You will see the
day when / will be the best tennis
player in the world" And she set out
alone to work out her own salvation.
Little by little her awkwardness
wore off and she continued entering
tournament after tournament until she
was recognized as the best player
IN southern California. She was in
the east last year, winning both
the national and middle states titles
without losing n set-a> wonderful feat
which she eclipsed i1 England.

A NATURAL Dixie.
The Volcanic Formation Along the
Course of Fail River.

The Volcanic Formation Along the
Course of Fall River.
Nature is full Of strange freaks, and
her agents-rains, storms, winds and
even dust-produce results that might
often be mistaken for the works Of
human hands, though frequently on q
colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty fac
tors, and through them some wonder
full phenomena are wrought One OF
these may be seen along the course OF
Fall river, in northern California. This
stream is of considerable size, and the
work of natures gigantic forces may
be seen between the upper and lower
cascades Of the river.
1t is what might properly be called
a volcanic dixie" This dixie extends
for some distance along Fall river,
near it's banks and nearly parallel to
the course. 1t bears close resemblance
to a roughly constructed wall. The
top of this dixie is very ragged and
the height of varying attitudes. In
some places it is twenty feet high and
several feet In thickness, and again
may be easily clambered over. The rock
Of which this wall Of nature Is COM
posed is of very porous character,
bearing some resemblance to pumics
stone, though much more solid and Of
greater specific gravity.
That entire region is Of volcanic ori-
gin and evidently was once the scene
of great eruptive activity. Scoria and
lava abound, though the face Of the
country is now thickly clad with timber
and brush. The dixie begins and ends
abruptly.
The wall Of the dixie is evidently the
result of volcanic forces, and has no
doubt stood for many centuries. 1t
stands clear from clinging rocks, has
q narrow foundation, with vertical
walls. and is very straight. The mys-
terry is what forces Of nature could
have piled up or left standing this
rock formation so uniform. This dixie
has puzzled not a few biologists who
have visited and examined it.-Ameri-

spenk Good of the Living.

Few will be found to dispute the

The study of the Improvement Of TIE

IN recent times been digniAed By
science The glib argument Is applied
that, as we improve the race Of race
horses by selection Of parents. we
might produce similar effects by super

several fallacies In this reasoning. We
are able to breed fast race horses be-
cause we want fast race horses, but
the difficulty is that we do not know

GOOD TEACHERS.

Many children are allowed to go
slipshod through a book several times
and then promoted. Go and visit
your school, and see what is going on.
You visit your stock. even if the hired
man does do the work; do as well by
your children. Don't hire a cheap
teacher; you will waste your money.
Pay S. or $40 a month more than
any one else; advertise what you will
pay and take the best you can get.
Anyone who is a good teacher is
worth more than the country school
usually pays, and soon gets il some
where else II not in school. This only
means a few cents more to each tax
payer, and 1t does mean the difference
between what is often worse than
nothing learned and the foundation Of
q true education.

CLOVER SICK.

The agricultural press not infre-
quently refers to clover soils in this
country as being Glover sick" The
term clover sick" is apt to be mis-.
leading Glover sickness, in the sense
in which it is found in Great Britain
and other countries, can scarcely be
said to exist in the United States. In
the countries referred to where clover
has been long and frequently grown,
the time comes when young plants
will grow for time, after which they
will wilt and die. The available pot
ash in the soil and subsoil and the
remedy is to cease growing clover for
number of years until enough Of
available potash is liberated in the
soil to grow again a crop of clover.
Where this plant will not grow on
soils in the United States, the cause
in all or nearly all instances is not de-
ficiency in potash; it is rather to be
looked for because of the presence
of too much acldity in the soil, where
the bacterial germs of clover cannot
live. 1t may also arise from the pres
ence of other ingredients in the soil
uncongenial to the growth Of the
clover plants.

DAIRY AND STOCK.

The serator is the coming dairy
utensil. Cannot afford it? How many
cans of milk spoiled through the heat
of some July night would it take to
pay for the aerator? Sometimes we
cannot afford to go without the best
there is in the line of dairy and farm
equipments.
If you let the young stock stop
growing you may not be able to figure
up your loss in dollars and cents, but
you may be sure it will not be a trivial
matter to deal with. All the rest of
an animals life is determined by the
treatment T. received before it is two
years old.
Calves being raised on skim milk
should be fed ground feed, not in the
milk, but dry, so that it will be mixed
with the saliva. They should have
access to oats, wheat, bran, clover
hay or alfalfa, as soon as old enough
to learn to eat it.
Tell those fellows who are quarrel
ing ever whether to have the cows
teats wet or dry while milking that
if they would try greasing them with
a little fresh lard in winter, or tallow
in summer, they would milk with
neither wet nor dry teats, but creased,
and the cows teats would not be
warty or sore, either.

THIRD OF ITS KIND.
King Richard III Edition of 1905
Found in Enuland

In little Buckinghamshire village
has been found a copy of the 1908
quarto edition of THE Tragedie of
King Richard the Third" newly aug
mented by William Shakespeare"
There are only forty-six leaves of
it, yet probably they are each worth
something like $40. For this edition
is one of the rarest of the Shakespeare
editions.
There is one copy in the British
museum and one in the Bodleian Ii
brary, but those are the only others
known to be eXtant; and this particu-
lar copy is the more interesting in
that it bears in five places the auto
graph of William Penn, an admiral in
the British navy, and father of the
man who founded Pennsylvania.
And another interesting find in an
old house recently was a copy of the
1905 quarto of THE True Chronicle
History Of King Leir," on which
Shakespeare three years later founded

NATURES KINDLY WAYS.

Nature always deals kindly with
the waste places. Here is gravel Pit
scooped out to the depth of twenty
feet by steam shovel to the extent
of two or three acres. Unpromising
spot this for nature to work on, but
the snowdrifts piled in in the winter,
carrying the rich soil of adjacent
farms, and the winds whirled in har-
vest of leaves, and the spot, becoming
a reservoir for the surplus rainfall,
was enriched by the silt deposits, and
so the cottonwood seeds blown by the
June winds fell here and there in the
pit, and in ten years from the time
the shovel left, a thick grove of
thrifty trees filed up the barren pit,
and Natures benevolence shrouded
mans dissertation and spoliation as
though it had not been.
