In order to facilitate the shipment
Of grain through this port, Duluth has
found it necessary to have great stor-
age capacity. The wheat must be tax
en- in, graded by the State inspectors,
which draw up at their very doors.
Through the erection of new buildings
during the last few years, the eleva-
tor capacity of the Duluth-Superior
harbor has become 100000 bushels,
the greater portion of which is de-
voted exclusively to wheat At the be-
ginning of the present wheat-shipping
season, the local elevators had in stor-
age 100000 bushels of grain.
This immense traffic has grown from
small beginning, and has kept pace
with the improved facilities for hand
ling the cereal Duluth has been a
shipping port Of prominence since 1870,
and during that year it forwarded to
the eastern end of the lakes 100000
bushels Of wheat-an amount which
WAS COusluereu euOTIHOuS W0en taken
in the light of the production of that
period. This trade has grown until
during the year 1923 the total
amount forwarded was 66,213.OOO
bushels. The total shipments of wheat
from this port for the thirty-three
years during which records have been
kept amounts to s6S, 1S1 900 bushels,
the value of which, even at conserv-
alive estimate, is $6S0,0OO,OOO. The
wheat crop of the last year amounted
to 637 $4,000 bushels, of value Of
S443. O24, S26, so that it will be seen
that Duluth has handled an amount
far In excess of what one total wheat
crop of the country would bring.-The

EAGLES IN BATTLE.
The Daring and Skill Of These Fierce
Birds of Prey.

Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit of attacking large animals, but
a contest witnessed by an observer dis
pels such theory. The battle was
between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from herd one
particular buck, which it succeeded in
driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ed it down and finally killed it. A still
more remarkable spectacle is we'll au-
thenticated. An eagle attacked a
fawn in the highlands Of Scotland.
The cries of the little one were an
swered by its dam, which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
its forefeet. Fawn, deer and eagle
rolled down declivity, the bird was
dislodged from its hold and the fawn
rescued.
Many traditions are eXtant as to the
carrying off Of children by eagles. The
most recent case bearing close scru-
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa. A Boer farmer whose stock
had been harried by eagles lay in am
bush for the robbers and saw one Of
them descend and carry off the Ave
year-old child of one of the Katfir serv-
ants. He shot the bird which. with
the child still clutched in its grip fell
into thorn bush. The bird was dead,
but the child was little hurt
Two eagles will stalk a covert in

has been observed. An eagle seeing a

l have been stacking wheat more
than thirty years and never had a
stack to take water yet. We prefer
the long rick to the round stack and
make our ricks eighteen to twenty feet
long and nine to twelve feet wide. If
you have no old rails or plank for a
bottom begin by setting up a long
shock, widening and frightening until
the sheaves lie nearly fiat, heads up.
Use short handled fork to place the
sheaves and stand up. Never get
down on your knees. but stand straight
up, directing the pitcher to throw the
sheaves toward the center of the stack
and in front of you, SO you can easily
reach them.
Keep the stack fairly level until you
get as high as a mans head; then keep
the middle full and solid, placing the
two outside courses rather loosely. In
fact, it is best to keep the middle
solid from the very start. and remem-
Der that you are not to get any farther
out than the heads of the second course
from the outside, as you may slip your
stack. An expert stacker can work
farther out than a beginner, but if
you keep well in YOU can build just as
good stack and be in no danger of
Slipping the stack. which IS a rather
serious matter. Draw in your stack
slowly the first few rounds and then
you will naturally draw in faster from
the fact that your stack gets smaller
and your middle higher.
Any man who can put on good load
of grain can build a good stack if he
will remember to keep his middle full
and solid and keep off the outside
courses. One of my sons was a good
stacker at nineteen years of age and at
twenty put 525 shocks into stack in
twelve hours with only one team haul
ing. Those 500 shocks made 43O bush
els of wheat so it will be seen that
stacking is not such big Job after all.

BOOK ILLUMINATION.
An Early Example of the Artistic
Culture of the Ancients.

The underlying thought which has in
spired illumination from its very be-
ginning is more interesting even than
the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension. To the ancients
the rarcst gems in all the world were
the gems of thought. The book was
the tangible and visible expression of
mans intellect, worthy of the noblest
setting Its covers might be made Of
tables of beaten gold inlaid with pre-
cious jewels, its words might be writ
ten in minium of rare brilliancy
brought from India or Spain or in
Byzantine ink made from pure orien-
tai gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-
tons portraying the highest skill of the
great artists of the day.
The earliest example of illumination
is a papyrus in the Louvre in Paris,
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed in bright
colors, touched in its high lights with
penciled gold. Although we find fire.
quent mention of some poem written
in gold, of some magnificent volume or
codex of colored vellum or some col
lection of miniatures or Of some mag
nlf1cent gift book decorated for prince
or church, yet this simple, imperfect
fragment at the Louvre is the sole
tangible evidence we have that 80
obvious form of artistic culture as
the art of Illumination was known to
the long period Of classical antiquity
or to the later luxuries of the life Of
Athens and Corinth, of Pergamum and
Ephesus, of Cyzicuus or Rhodes. SYRIA
cuse or Tarentum, of Sybaris, Of Pom
peii and of Rome.
With the invention 81 printing the
demand for the illuminator and the
scribe became gradually less, and final
ly by the end of the sixteenth century
illumination ceased to be an art The
book as the developer Of the people in
science and literature and in learning
generally had crowded out the book as
an object of art. 1t need not have
done this, perhaps, but as matter OF
fact it did.-Boston Transcript.
