Romance of Stocking Knlttsr.

Romance may certainly figure In
many of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our under
graduates today, but these have not
so romantic an origin as the first Of
these articles produced in England, for
tradition has it that William Lee, who
in the sixteenth century invented the
knitting frame on which both stock
lngs and waistcoats were produced
mechanically, was driven to this piece
of ingenuity by the cruel fouting Of
the lady he loved, who happened to be
a stocking knitter. Enraged at his fail
ure to make an impression on her
heart, he sought to make It on her
purse by killing her means Of liveli-
hood, and one is glad to read that all
stocking makers combined to frustrate
his cruel purpose, with the result that
he fed with his invention to France,
vhcrc he Gnally died of a broken
heart, whether for love Of his lady or
Of his spoiled invention tradition does
not say.-London Chronicle.

TRAILMAKING IN ALASKA.
Slow and Tedious Work of Opening
Up the Far North.

Thirty-one miles of government
trail. IL feet wide, with substantial
bridges across streams and corduroy
through swamps now connect mile
"a of the Alaska Central with the
town OF Sunrise on Turnagain arm,
says the Seward, Alaska, Gateway.
Twenty-three miles of this is new
road. From the forks of Six-mile TO
Sunrise, eight miles, a good trail al
ready existed and the only work ne
cessary was to widen 1t and make a
few repairs. The trail shortens the
distance to Sunrise at least four
miles.
A trail six miles long was cut from
Sunrise to Hope, shortening the dis
tance between the two towns three
miles. This is not as good a road as
the trail to the railroad, but will
make a good sled road in the win
ter and pack trail at other seasons.
A roadway was made from Seward
to Bear river, six miles, which will
give the homesteaders a good road to
town. 1t includes long bridge
across Resurrection river which cost
$500, as well as smaller bridges
The work Of cutting the trail through
the timber was done by the farmers
at their own expense. The road is
level and with a little clearing of
Etumps and ironing out of rough spots
Will be first class highway.

Earthouake pranks,

Hindustan has had many important
geological changes effected by earth
quakes. In 1852 Chlttagong was vlo-
lently shaken, the earth opening in
many places and throwing up water
and mud Of sulphurous smell. Then
sixty square miles Of coast suddenly
and permanently subsded, one Of the
Mug mountains entirely disappeared.
and another sank SO low that only the
summit remained. At the same time
a corresponding rise Of ground took
place at Ramree, an island farther
along the coast. Again, at Clutch, In
1919 the fort and village of Slndree
were submerged, and about FIVE miles
distant a long elevated mound was
raised, measuring some fifty miles by
sixteen in places, out Of what had been
a perfectly level plain.

Birds Evolved From Roatils,.

1t may be shock to some persons to
learn that the birds of the present day
are descendants of reptiles. This fact
has been conclusively proved by the
fossil remains of creatures that form
the intermediate stages between the
birds of today and the reptiles of pre-
historic ages. In fact, many of the
birds have not yet completed their ev-
olution, as in the case OF the penguin,
whose wings are merely rudimentary,
absolutely inadequate for flying pur-
poses and useful only as a means of
propelling these awkward creatures
through the water

Mr.. Ruskin was asked If he did not
admire chrysanthemums. Now, he lik-
ed nothing abnormal or artificial, and
he regarded the production of chrysan-

grow flowers at season when nature

CHICAGO KENNEL SHOW

1t was expected that Chicago would
take her rightful place with cities Of
the same class in the dog show which
opened at Brooke Casino, April II and
lasted four days Those in authority.
however made the fatal mistake OF
selecting a building totally inadequate
in size and lacking in sanitary condi~
tions
There were 546 dogs entered. The
small Judging rings and lack of light
in the building forbids any intelligent
comment on the quality of the eN-
hibits. AS a show, 1t is doubtful if any
city Of one-tenth the population of
Chicago could not do better, says
Sports Aield.
At New York there were 1899 dogs
entered At Boston and Philadelphia
the entries numbered about one-half
those of New York, but twice those of
Chicago. At New York the show is
held in the spacious Madison Square
Garden and ranks second to the an
nual horse show i'm point of social in
terest At Boston the Mechanics
Building. with aisles 20 feet wide be-
tween the benches allows an enormous
throng of the very best citizens to eX-
anime with comfort and judge with in
telligence the high quality always
shown i'm each breed.
1t is too bad that Chicago, with as
many canine enthusiasts as any city
I'm the world. cannot taie hold Of the
bench show with the vim, enthusiasm
and literally of Milwaukee, Detroit
or Buffalo.
Chicago has a number of buildings
well suited for bench shows. A vacant
store building would be better suited
for the purpose than Brooke Casino.
The present officials Of the club mean
well. This is the most charitable re-
mark that can be said of them.
Very few bench shows are self-sup-
porting The members of nine out of
ten kennel clubs i'm the United States
meet an annual assessment, to cover
expenses, with an amiable grin. IL is
far too apparent that the members of
the Chicago Kennel Club hope, this
year. to pocket a division of profits
with an expansive smile This may be
comfortable to the members. but il is
expensive to the kennel interests Of the
west.
Fortunately. the st. Louis fanciers
are as liberal as the Chicago Kennel
Club is niggardly, and the coming
show at st. Louis win do much toward
restoring the self-respect of the vest
erners
1t is hoped that the experience OF

mel Club the false economy Of saving
expense at a sacrifice of comfort.
