 what caused the muititudes of ex- tinct species, whose remains we find as fossils in the earth's strata, to dis appear from its surface? This Is one of geology's chief problems So Tar cussed by Prof. Henry Fairfield osborn of Columbia University, in The Ameri- can Naturalist.

Drain Florida Everglades.

It Ia proposed to drain the Ever glades of Florida. Governor Broward, in writing of the great scheme, which Is now leading issue before the peo- pie of that State, enumerates the main features of the plan. There are 7.500.- 900 acres of swamp lands to be freed of water. In the midst of this dreary waste lies Lake Okeechobee. It is pro- posed to cut canals and drain off part of the waters of this lake, so as to re- duce the surface four feet, to prevent the overhowing, which now floods 1000, ,000 acres of the surrounding country. The work calls for $50 miles of canals ten feet deep and varying in width from fifty to 120 feet. From these main arteries will be cut smaller ditches. which must be made by the pun chasers of the property.

Modern Indian Brides.

 This stately stone structure, which succeeded the little log church erected in 1922 by the Oneidas when they first came to Wisconsin. and whose nrst pastor was Eleazor Williams, the lost Dauphin" of France, is the scene of as elaborate functions as the average white deems fitting on such occasions.
 The bridegroom assumes all the re- sponsibIlities of the wedding, including the wedding gown, probably relic or The old custom when the brave suo- stantially recompensed the father for inc loss of his daughter.
 Most open-handed must many or them be, as a fair average of those nut-t>~own maidens carry bride roses and trail silken gowns up the aisles of their church to the strains of ''Lohengrin," as brides do the world over. The bridesmaids as well as tha brides wear veils.

Nothing escapes them. not even our idioms The other night l had some people to dinner. and Anita had made a special and most toothsome des- sert, I wanted little more. threw her a questioning glance as she stoou against the oak of the dining room door in her native costume, pretty as any picture on fan. She understood per fectly. Folding her arms in final way she said in a soft, but determlned manner: Nothing doing.'

Lesl.laslon to Preserve Forests.

NeW 1Ork EVenlMB FOSL.
 The Appalachian and White Noun tain forest reserve projects belong to that great class of measures which everyone knows to be deserving but which stand only a poor chance of ear ly adoption. The arguments in favor of the forest reserves are of general application Government control Of such tracts prevents wasteful lumber ing, secures timber supply for the future, safeguards the watersheds from freshets, increases the value of water powers, protects against forest fires and Is in every way wise and far-sighued policy. Why, then, restrict its benefits to one section of the country?

Passing of the OId Maid.

old maids are dying out. In few years time the typical old maid of our youth will rarely be seen and 100 hence she will probably be dead altogether. The term "old maid' is now seldom or never heard; the expression bachelor girp' has taken its place and many and happy are the bachelor girls in Britain today with their independence. their little homes and their own well-ar- ranged lives.
