Travelling With Lyman Howe

Like powerful searchlight, Ly-
man III. Howe's Travel Festival brings
TO light those my sterious places in
strange lands of which we hear much
with Lyman III. Howe i'm the Beld-
ing Opera House on Tuesday, Nov. 2,
will see much that even the profess
sional traveller misses. The beautiful
Gorge du Var in France, for instance,
is not a Mecca for tourists as COM
paratively few have heard of it. Never
theless for simple grandeur of scenery
il is unrivalled, and this is only one
of many other scenes which travellers
usually miss except those who accom-
pany Lyman II. Howe. Leaving the
continent Mr.. Howe will conduct his
"travelers" through the highways and
byways of Algeria, into the hidden
mountain recesses of the warlike Ka-
byles, and to Biskra, the oasis of pleas
ure and fashion on the edge of the
Great Desert of Sahara. Then the
travellers will be quickly transferred
to the Ice Palace and Winter Carnival
at Montreal, watch some exhilarating
winter sports and exciting snow-shoe
and skating races, and after a trip
through the wonderful beauty of the
snowbound Rockies, will see the life
in lumber camps i'm the depths of the
forests and how the giant trees are
laid low and shipped to the coast.
Only the privileged few are usually
permitted To see how the monster guns
of our Navy are made. Still fewer
have access to the fighting top of
battleship when the huge guns are in
action. But all who "travel with Ly-
man III. Howe can see the making
of big gun at the steel plant, watch
its casting, cooling, tempering, shrink
ing, every phase of its manufacture,
and then see il i'm action from the
coming tower of Dreadnought. From
that commanding position the scenes
on the deck below are unique and
startling.

pretty scene, and the special music
arranged for the occasion by Mrs. Fred

was excellent and, in keeping with the
beautiful service.
Mr.. Collins was granted a certificate
for ordination by the Lansing Associa-
ton which met in Coral recently and
at the same time instructed this church
to arrange for the service.
Rev. f. g. Ward, of Lansing, had
charge of the ceremonies and after
reading the notice and invitation to
the service, he asked the conference
registrar Rev. w. A. Minty, of Lans-
ing, TO read the certificate which the
Lansing Association had granted to
Mr.. Collins.
An appropriate hymn was sung
and Rev. Albert Secord former
pastor of the church here, pronounced
the invocation, and Rev. c. |. Taylor,
of Portland, read the scripture.

FLATFISHES' EYES.
A Migration Which Takes Place After
the Creatures Birth.

inc creatures birtn.
Flatfshes keep their white and
blind side on the muddy or sandy
bottom and pretend that the upper
and speckled side is a part of that
bottom. This they do to avoid OBJ
servation, for in spite Of their awk-
ward shape they are swallowed at
sight by pertinacious enemies, to
the manifest discomfort of both. A
greedy cormorant curling up and
attempting to swallow q plaice,
which tries to be as disobliging as
possible, affords an object lesson
not soon forgotten On the way not
to behave at meal times. But the
bird usually succeeds in its object,
and the flatfsh, in spite of persis-
tent efforts to retain its natural
flatness, at last disappears down the
round, elastic throat of the cormo-
rant. With a view to avoid unpleas-
antnesses of this kind soles are
wont to hide themselves in the sand,
keeping only their eyes above the
surface to act as sentinels.
In reality the dark surface of
sole, plaice or turbot is its side and
not its back. 1t is true that both
eyes are visible, which is not the
case when a mackerel or a conger
is laid on its side, but this is simply
owing to the fact that one eye Of a
fatfsh has since the creatures birth
passed across what we may call the
bridge of its nose to keep company
with the other eye,
The wandering eye begins its
migration at very early age-sO
early, indeed, that it is a little diff
fcult to detect it on its journey. A
plaice a fifth Of an inch in length
and five days old carries one eye On
each side Of its nose. When three
ffths Of an inch long and about two
months old the left eye has crossed
over to the RIGHT side. Lemon soles
when one inch long or two months
old have the left eve on the edge of
the head. hut when double that size
and six months old both eyes are
found on the right side. A sole as
sumes its lopsided aspect by the
time it has been Matched two
months. When a turbot is half an
inch in length the right eye just be-
gins to peep over the center arch of
the bridge. at three-quarters Of an
inch it is half way across, and at an
inch the passage is complete and
the two eyes look out from the left
side Of the ead.-Westminster Ga

SarrYnAore and Modieska.

Maurice Barrymore earned a
reputation as a wit and really de-
served it, His style could be less
successfully transferred to the
stage, as his efforts at comic writing
showed, but in its spontaneous
phases its effect always told. One
Of the stories related was about his
experiences with Nine. Modjeska,
with whom he acted for several
years. He had been as careless AZ
he often was on the stage, and
Nine. Modjeska, with all the con-
scientiousness of q great artist, pro-
tested that he had no right to take
his calling so lightly and that if he
did not owe it to his reputation to
do his best he at least owed it to
her, because she had done SO much
in his behalf and had put him be,
fore the public in a digni6ed and
serious line of parts,
"Why, madam" he said, "it Is not
you who brought me before the
public and made me known. Peo-
pie had heard Of me all over the
United States when they thought
that Modjeska was only the name of
. tooth wash

The Other Fellow Too.

When a Maine man first went to
Panama and knew nothing of the
Spanish language the only replies
he got to questions he asked of the
natives was no sc Don't know and
manana tomorrow. Everywhere
he went, to every question he asked,
it was no Sc and manana. Again
and again he heard them, day after
day, and finally decided to ask no
more questions. About the third day
in Panama he saw a funeral pro-
cession passing the hotel. "Whose
funeral is it," he asked of man
standing beside him. "No Sc"
Mighty glad of it," he calculated
in disgust. "And hope that ma

Statue Of Liberty.

The statue of Liberty in New
York bay is of copper sheets about
one-tenth Of an inch in thickness.
The total weight is about 100000
pounds, of which about 10000 are
copper and $4,000 iron, and cost
a million francs ($200,oOO). The
height of the statue itself from the
heel to the top of the head is 10
feet, and from the base to the top
of the torch is $50 feet. In regard
to the preservation of the work per-
haps the words Of N. Bartholdi
himself are in order: "Sinee all the
elements of its construction are
everywhere visible on the inside in
all their details it will easily be
kept in good condition"
