strength to chop. II is q knack. A
ten-year-old boy, IL he cuts clean, will

OF course, upon the axe used. We
use American tools entirely-in fact,

steel. Almost anybody can sharpen
an axe, but when 1t comes to a saw,
there is as much skill required to do
good Job as in drawing a picture.
For instance, have lived in camp

As matter OF fact, there is no heat
lightning as that term is generally
used. The display referred to always
lakes place wher the weather is
warm but that Is only because warm
weather produces thunder storms. The
so-called heat lightning is merely the
lightning OF q distant storm. We do
not hear the thunder because the
storm ls toe far away for the sound

An Old, old Life Site.

Recent excavation at the Maumbury
Rings Circle. in England, is regarded
as corroborating the tradition that a
Roman amphitheater once existed on
that site, A stratum of quartz, flint
and fragments Of shells, such as the
Romans placed on the surface Of The
arena where gladiators fought has
been found there. A very interesting
fact is that other remains indicate
that the place wes used by Neolithie
people as q flint workshop. 1t is ap-
parent that they used picks made OF
deer's antlers to excavate the pit
where the flint was found. The pit is
30 feet deep. The place seems to
have been almost continuously occu-
pied since Neolithic times.

The peasants of France. in accord
ance with = tradition, pierce the
head Of a magpie with thorn when
ever they catch one. According to
the French legend, after Jesus had
been nailed to the cross two birds
alighted on the extended arms OF the
instrument of death. One was a
magpie with a beautiful aigrette on
It's head and a long waving tail, then
the handsomest Of birds but the
wiekedest, chirping insult at the
suffering Jesus. The other bird was
modest little bird with gray plu-
mage. which approached the cross
iimidly, uttering cries of grief. With
is beak 1t tried to pluck away one
of the thorns. A single drop of the
blood fell on the plying little gray
bird and gave the robin Fedbreast.
