For Nature Students.

William Archer, the English crit
ic, said at one of the meetings of
the reformed spelling board in New
York:
81 have been rather surprised,
here in the States, at the general
ignorance of what we spelling re-
formers are trying to do. Our aims
are not at all understood. We have
no idea of going to such ludicrous
extremes as many people think. In
fact, the average mans idea of re-
formed spelling is good deal like
the two young women's idea OF ami
NAL anatomy.
What part Of the animal does
the chop come from?' said the first.
1sit the leg?'
ooh, not at ALL said the other,
laughing. 'The leg. How ridicu-
lous! 1t is, Of course, the jawbone.
Have you never heard Of animals
licking their chops""

Bird or Bee?

Two quaint observations about hum
ming birds are published in early
Long Island" by Martha Flint, both
quoted from letters of the seventeenth
century, written from the new coun-
try of America. Says one:
1.-THE Humbird is one of the wonders
of the country being no bigger than a
Hornet, yet having all the Dimensions
Of a Bird as bill, wings with quilts,
spider-like legges, small claws. For
Colour she is as glorious as the Raine
bow"
Adrian Van der Donck, one of the
Hollanders of Nieuw Nederlandt in
1912 writes of "a
Curious small bird concerning
which there are disputations whether
it Is bird or bee. 1t seeks it's nour-
ishment from flowers like the bee and
is everywhere seen RECALLING itself on
the flowers. In flying they make a
humming noise like the bee. 1t is only
seen in Nieuw Nederlandt in the sea-
son Of flowers. They are very tender
and cannot be kept alive, but we press
them between paper and send them as
presents to our friends"

When $1,000 Looked Big.

Divide anything up into parts and
you magnify it. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an
idea of how much $1,000 is. She
had no idea of money. Her pur-
chases were enormous. 1t happened
one day that her eye fell upon a
magnificent ring, and she coveted it.
It cost $1,000. But what was ST.
900 to her in comparison with the
ring? Of course her husband con-
sented to the purchase. What else
could a dutiful, affectionate husband
do? But he tried this method of
educating his wife concerning the
great price of the ring. He instruct
ed his banker to send her the ST 900
in small pieces-pennies, dimes and
quarters. In came the money, bag
full after bagful. She never had
such an idea of 81 900 before. When
the money was piled before her it
alarmed her. The price of the ring
went up hundredfold and was con-
sidered at once an extravaganza
which she of her own option aban-
doned.

The Golden Fleece.

It was on Jan. 10, 1929, in the
ancient city of Bruges that Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy and
Brabant, set the climax upon the
scene of indescribable splendor that
formed the setting of his nuptials
with Isabel of Portugal by issuing
the proclamation which called into
being the Order of the Golden
Fleece, for centuries the most covet-
ed distinction for the mighty Of this
earth, the reward for stainless chiv-
airy and deeds of heroism and Prov
ess, forfeitable at the least deviation
from the strictest code of knightly
honor. The conduct of the sover-
eign himself, chief of the order,
was subject to investigation and
censure by the chapter, and many
are the occasions when the assem-
bled knights availed themselves OF
their dangerous privilege.

The Leaf Cutter Bee.

A writer describes the interesting
operations Of the bee called the
"leaf cutter" This insect drills In
a sand bank hole ten inches deep
and half an inch in diameter and
divides it into about dozen COM
partments or cells. Each cell is
composed of pieces of leaf, cut into
proper shapes and carefully fitted
together. Rose leaves and sweet
pea leaves are among the favorites
of the bees. The cutting is done
with the jaws, while the six legs
hold the leaf in position and enable
the insect to turn itself about with
the precision of pair of compasses.
Some of the cut pieces are perfect
circles. Others are oblong figures
of varying proportions. Having cut
out the segment of leaf, an opera
ton requiring about twenty seconds,
the bee carries it to the sand bank
and then returns for more materials.
When a piece has been nearly cut
off the bee, in order to prevent tear
ing, poises itself in the air with its
wings and completes the operation
with a clean cut.

A HERO OF TIE BUSH.
The Daring and Devotion Of Brave
Maori Youth.

Maori Youth.
Courage is not an attribute peculiar
to the white man, nor Is self sacrifice
the prerogative of civilization. In Mr..
J. G. Firth's Nation Making is told
q story as touching in its brave devo-
ton as any tale of the Victoria cross.
The incident occurred at Orakan,
where the English soldiers had just
defeated the Maoris. A little party of
colonial troops, pursuing fugitives,
came upon three natives, two old men
and one young fellow.
The youth, seeing the soldiers, drop
ped on one knee and aimed with his
gun at the advancing party, which
halted moment, while the old men
ran toward the forest. The old men
had thrown away their firearms in
order to make escape easier.
The soldiers fired at the youth, but
missed. Without discharging his gun
he sprang to his feet and ran on in
advance until he caught up with the
old men once more. Then. facing
about, he presented his gun as before.
but reserved his fire.
The weary old men gradually drew
near cover. Once more the soldiers
fired and missed; once more the gal
liant fellow turned and bounded on.
The old men We're close to the forest
when the youth, nearly fainting, again
knelt and took aim. but still did not
fire.
The soldiers shot him as he knelt
and rushed to the forest, but failed to
capture the two fugitives, who. safe
in the dense underbrush. made their
escape.
On their return the soldiers found
to brave young fellow lying dead.
His gun was empty; it had not been
loaded at all. With it he had covered
the retreat of the old men and secured
their freedom by the loss of his own
life. No more gallant deed of heroic
devotion was ever accomplished in
any land

THE SHIPS RUDDER.
Difference In the Strain That Comes
Upon Its Two Parts.

Difference In the Strain That Comes
Upon Its Two Parts.
The rudder of a wooden ship is COM
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are so joined together as to
form in effect a single piece. The
complete rudder is cOppered to protect
it from worms, and then, besides being
practically all in one piece, it has that
appearance also.
The stalk is the part to which are at
tached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost The stalk runs up
through the stern Of the ship, and to
it's head is bolted a cap to which are at
Etached the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
By far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain of all
comes on the head of the stalk, the
rudder head, where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, we'll seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is of a single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of a small oak, some
thing that a man can pin his faith to-,
| if he can have faith in any wood, while
the backing or blade is, like many mod
ern wooden masts, built up. 1t would
be difficult If not impossible to find
trees that would yield planks big
enough for the purpose in a single
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily
be made of ample strength to with
stand any strain that will be brought
| upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of tremendous blow from
wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split and so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk. A suitable
stick is selected and worked down to
the proper size and form, and very
probably the old backing is attached to
1T. The life of a rudder stalk would
probably be twelve to fourteen years.
The backing might last as long as the
ship.-New York Sun.

A CUP OF TEA.
The Way to Bring Out the Real Bou-
quet of the Leaves.


To bring out the real bouquet of
tea several things are indispensa-
BILE. First, the water should be fresh
ly drawn. Never use water pre-
yiously boiled, for it's life is gone.
Second, the teapot should be made
hot by dry heat if possible or else
with boiling water.
The best sort of teapot is that
made of unglazed clay. The Japa-
nese make one Of a dark red clay,
often procurable at the ten cent
stores. But the best are made by
the Chinese of reddish brown clay
from the banks Of the Souchien
river. 1t is famous for drawing out
all the sweetness from the leaves.
There is no objection to a glaze out
side the pot. But the inside, when
unglazed, seems to have some chem
ical action on the brewing of tea
which adds to it's bouquet.
Third, the ''time limit" makes or
mars your pot of tea. Do not let
the leaves lie aimlessly in the pot to
give out the flavor at their own
sweet will. But procure deep
porcelain receiver or strainer full
of holes, such as comes inside blue
and white japanese teapots. Put
your tea leaves in the strainer and
be generous with them-they will
repay you tenfold with a rise in
spirits and general couleur de rose
feeling and set the strainer in the
pot. If it does not fit use your fem
mime ingenuity and make handle
of cord. Never let metal come in
contact with tea in the making.
At the very moment the water
boils pour it on the leaves. Put the
cover on for one-half minute, then
pour out a cup of the tea. Empty
that back over the leaves. Repeat
this several times. Then souse the
strainerful of leaves up and down
once OF twice or until from the aro-
ma you can detect the real tea fla
vor. In this way the strength of
the tea is forced out before the tam
mic acid can mingle with it, and you
have gained in less than two min
utes bouquet obtainable in no 9TH
er way.
Take any unmixed black tea. Try
the directions given, following the
three conditions accurately, and you
will find that you can make tea at
80 cents a pound taste like So,
while most people only succeed in
making So tea taste like 80 cents

The Great Violin Makers.

Antonio Stradivari, the famous
violin maker of Cremona, lived
1649-1737. He was the pupil of
Nicholas Amati and carried the
Cremona type of violin to its high
est perfection. The Amati, Mich
olas and his sons, Jerome and An
tonic, rank next to Stradivari if not
with him. The Tyrolese makers,
Jakob Stainer, 1621-83, and Mat
thias Klotz and his sons made vio-
Inns that stand very high in the es-
timation of connoisseurs. Villaume
of Paris is the most celebrated mod
ern maker. A genuine Stradivarius
in good condition is worth almost
any price that may be asked for it.
They have been sold for more than
$4,000.

Choosing a. charieteer.

A certain king once required
charioteer. There were many can
didates for the honor, and one by
one they were brought before the
king. He inquired of each, eff you
were driving my chariot near a
precipice how near could you steer
without falling over?" The first
said two feet, the next that he could
go safely within a foot of the brink,
q third that few inches would be
quite enough for him. A fourth
came and, hearing the question, said
at once, S1f | were driving the
kings chariot l should consider it
my duty to keep as far away as pos
sible from the sprecipice." The king
felt that he was the, safest man, and
he was at once engaged.

Mount Mckinley.

In mountain climbing the world over
the climber usually arrives fresh and
unfatigued at the base Of the peak he
wishes to storm and, as a rule, begins
his ascent at high altitude. On Mount
Mckinley, as described by writer in
Outing, it is the opposite. There are
twenty-five miles of rugged foothills
spacks-befTe the base of the mountain
is reached, and then the climber is con-
fronted by $4,000 feet of rock and ice.

Dreams of the Healthy,

There has been much discussion as to
whether one dreams only on falling to
sleep and during the act Of waking up,
or whether dreams take place at any
time during sleep. While not definitely
determined as yet, the evidence seems
to be rather in favor of the view that
one may dream at any time during
the night or the whole night through.
Dreaming is common to perfectly
healthy persons, and in itself is no
evidence of disorder arper's Maya
