An Extraordinary Migration

One OF the greatest mysteries to sci
entists. one for which there seems TO
be no reasonable explanation, is that
concerning the migration Of the lem
ming, or Norway rat. Instead Of TAX
ing place once a year, these migrations
occur only once in eleven years. When
the time comes for the exodus the lit
tie animals journey westward from
Scandinavia, allowing nothing TO stop
their movements, which virtually
amount TO headlong flight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains In incalculablc
numbers, devastating the whole cOun-
try through which they travel. Natu-
ralists attribute the movement TO some
inherited memory Of flight to escape
an expected cataclysm, but this seems
somewhat far fetched.

An Old Roman Mint.

A completely equipped Roman mint
was discovered In a cave in the neigh
borhood Of Kayosovar, Hungary. Be-
sides crucibles, which still contained
bronze, there were three dies for the
production OF gold coins, dies OF silver,
bronze and iron ore and 300 coins. The
investigation made showed that the
workshop dated from the first century
OF the Christian era. A number OF
neatly worked earrings, bracelets and
other objects OF bronze, as well az
tools, such as hammers and tongs, were
also found.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Eject Of Boxing on the Mental and
Moral Faculties.

Boxing is an exercise which Is not
only Of the most marked benefit i'm n
purely physical way, but 1t is OF the
utmost value as a means of training
the mental and moral faculties. One
Of the most unfortunate whimsicalities
Of our very whimsical day is the preju-
dice against boxing as n sport and
exercise. There is no sport in which
there is provided such splendid exer-
else for body and mind and spirit as
in boxing
The physical influence Of boxing Is
superb. Every muscle and organ is
brought into active use. SO far as
mentality is concerned, the perception,
imagination, judgment, discretion, self
confidence. aggressiveness and will are
all brought into active and rapid use.
The boxer who fails I'm perceiving his
opponents intention. who misses in
Judging the power or reach Of his blow,
who is lacking i'm self confidence. will
power or aggressivencss, who fails for
one moment to remember all the weak
points OF the man against whom he IL
working-that boxer is likely to fail, to
lose what we all value-that Is. repu-
tation, public confidence and income.
Among the many sports and games
which are of value in training the
mind place boxing as by all means
the most yaluable.-W. II. G. Latson,
NJ. d., in Outing Magazine.

THE OEVIlfISH.
Its Ability 10 Change Its own ana
the Waters Color.

Il was lying on rock watching the
movements OF some land crabs which
kept retreating from the water as the
tide rose. when suddenly crab dashed
frantically from the water. and out
after il galloped - there is no other
word for it-a devilhsh nearly two feet
across" writes an observer from Ava
lon. Cal. "The animal continued the
chase a short distance. lifting Its ten
tacles in the air in sort OF overhead
motion: then, finding pursuit hopeless.
II withdrew with peculiarly unpleas-
ant, writhng, gliding motion charac-
teristic Of these animals. Upon reach
ing the water ii stationed itself Just ut
the edge. SO mimicking the color OF the
bottom that when l glanced away and
looked suddenly back | could not at
once distinguish IT, This deviltish had
the appearance of cat watching for
mice and when crab was seen IL
would shoot out long attenuated
tentacle and attempt TO seize il. BY
carefully insinuating my way To the
waters edge l quickly grasped the
specimen and after a short struggle
tore il from the rocks and secured il.
"At various times | had from three
to FIVE devlfishes in an inclosure
where l could watch them change color

ment, IL the tank bottom was dark,
they assumed various tints. generally

Two Diaerent stories ~ 90 whs was
the Original.

tue OrIkinoI.
Like many Of the other heroes Of the
nursery tales. Bluebeard once lived in
the flesh and blood, IL the old chron-
icler Holinshed. from whom Shake
speare got so much Of his material, is
to be believed. According to that writ
err the original Bluebeard was Giles de
Retz or de Raiz, marquis of Laval.
who became marshal Of France in 1929.
He is described as an impious and de-
bauched man. q devotee of the black
art, who enticed young men and wom-
Ell 10 his castle and killed them in or
der to obtain innocent blood for his
magical enchantments and who also
murdered six or seven OF his wives.
His crimes were discovered, and he
was burned at the stake in 1440 at
Nantes.
According TO an old French legend,
however. the original Bluebeard lived
In Britanny in the sixth century and
was known as Count Conomer After
seven OF his wives had disappeared he
became enamored of Triphyna, the
daughter OF Count Guereck Of Vannes.
The wedding was celebrated at Nannes,
and Conomer took his bride home
Before n year had passed Triphyna
noticed change in her husbands man
ner, and, fearing the same fate that
had met her predecessors, she fled from
the castle. but was overtaken by Como
mer, who struck off her head with a
single blow. ST. Gildas, by whom the
unfortunate wife had been educated.
happened TO pass the spot soon after.
and, seeing the body. he tendcrly re-
placed the head and by prayer restored
Triphyna to life. The story does not
relate the end of Conomer.

Unfortunate Omission.

One Of the most singular instances OF
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment Of an alma
nae maker to the Bastille in 17l7. IL
was made out by order OF the Duke OF
Orleans, regent during the minority OF
Louis V. Of France, and read as fol-
lows: Laurence d'TIenry, for disre-
spect TO King George I. in not mention
ing him in his almanac as king OF
Great Britain" How long this un-
lucky almanac maker remained in pris-
on is unknown. The register Of the
Bastille, examined at the time Of the
revolution, failed to throw any light on
the subject

Whom HOOps Begnn.

When were hoops "in" for the first
time? According TO Strut, 'trundling
the hoop is n pastime Of uncertain or
igin, but much in fashion at present
OSOD. Dir. Murray's dictionary, Incl
dentally remarking that the original
hoop affected by boys was a barrel
hoop. gives no English reference to it
earlier than 1892. But the hoop was
we'll known to ancient Greek and Ro-
man boys, who called it n ''trochus'
(wheeD. Their hoops were made Of
bronze, and representations Of them on
gems show that they were driven by a
little hook with wooden handle, very
like the modern boys hoop stick. This
was called by the Greeks "clater'
driver and by the Romans "clavis'
key). Sometimes the ancient hoop had
bells attached 10 ii, and modern Lon
don may be glad to be spared at least
that exasperation.-Londo Chronicle.

OF WHAT USE ARE SILENT LET.
TERSf

Our readers may have noticed
that for some time the orthogra-
ply employed in The Echo does
not conform to the rules laid
down by Webster and Worcester,
For many years we have held
the opinion that the use of silent
letters in spelling English words
belonged to that period in the
evolution of the race when the
farmer put his boy astride a
horse and sent him to mill with
half bushel of corn in one end
of sack and a stone in the other
end to balance the corn.
The non use of silent letters
makes correct spelling and pro-
nunciation much easier. Is there
any reason for the use of a X in
nife other than that our ances-
tors used it? We purpose to
drop the use of every superflu-
Gus and silent letter in spelling
the ordinary words-eyery day
words, in the English language,
and do our humble part in help
ing TO reform our photography.

law should be held equally guilty,
just as the one is who aids and
abets the commission of the
crime of theft or murder. The
man who buys liquors, or any
thing else, the sale of which is
prohibited by law, should be by
specific law made an accessory
to the crime. How absurd, pu-
Grille, it is for the law to say, in
effect, to one man, it is no viola
ton for you to buy all you have
the money to pay for, provided
you can find a man who will sell
to you, but the law will watch
the man who has the goods you
want and if he sells to you, the
law will fix him plenty, The
law simply puts a premium on
its own violation.

FILLING SPACE.

The editor of this country
newspaper knows that when he
INDUCES in, what for want of a
better name may well be called
editorial vaporings, he presumes
on the patience and Indulgence
of his patrons. The editorial
stuff and what miscellaneous
matter we print every week is
just so much that our readers do
not expect when they subscribe
for the paper The mission, and
the only one, of a country news
paper, is to publish the news of
its town and the Immediately
surrounding country.
Great daily newspapers and
magazines are too cheap for the
average reader to depend on the
columns of a country newspaper
for general and world news.
The editorial opinions of the
country weekly cut just about as
much figure as the opinion of a
justice of the peace on constitu-
tional law.
Among members of the legal
profession there obtains a sup
position, that, in effect, amounts
to prescriptive law, that "a
justice of the peace is not pre-
sumed to have any sense" Now
the editor of the country news
paper is himself the object of a
similar supposition. Al least we
were led to this belief the past
week when one of those patent
medicine vendors wanted to place
an advertisement in The Echo al
as than one-ffth the rate paid
oy local patrons.
The editor of this paper, when
he INDUCES in editorial com
ment, does so with a knowledge
that his stuff is rarely read, and
when read cuts no figure. The
country editor who tries to mould
public opinion and the old lady
who swept back the ocean with 6
broom belong in the same class,
Our excuse for indulging in the
harmless pastime is that we have
space to fill, and the cisors being
dull we prefer to fill the space
with our own stuff to filing il
with patent medicine ads at g
fifth the price paid by our Local
advertisers. If our editorials are
not written with the ease and
grace of a patent medicine ad we
confidently believe they are less
harmful in their effect on the
body.
