American Folk Songs.

AS yet no ballad writer has appeared
n America that rivals Kipling or the
pre-eminent Burns. The product we
have from protested ballad singers is
mediocre. But out in the far corners
Of the land there are to be found the
.olk songs, true ballads whose au-
:horship will never be known. The
course of our national development
md the inherent romance of the
ields and forests has inspired the or
linary Tyre to lofty songs. And the
life of isolated communities and the
common if narrow interests of the
men who work in gangs under all
sorts of dangers have given rise to
song and chant that SAVIOR of the
blood. The English department of
harvard university has commissioned
John A. Lomax, associate professor in
College Station, Tex, under the Shell
lon fellowship, to gather together
,hese typical ballads. The old cow
BOY ditties, the chanteys of the coast,
he gulf and the great lakes are what
le wants. There are also army
longs. lumberjack chants, the songs
II voyageur, miner and vagabond.
AL these serve to characterize vividly
life that is passing. And it may be
hat thorough search will reveal I'M
inspected treasures.

Never before was there so many
buggy wheels needing all sorts of re-
pairs to make them all o. K. again
as are now stored in the Hans Hansen
shop and the consequence is that he
is kept hard at work from dawn till
dark. All this repairing is laid to the
long dry spell we have had which
while hard on all vehicles seems to
have been especially trying on bug

Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. j. johnson and
Mr.. and Mrs. T. FL. Lastine were out
in the latter's auto Sunday near Elk
Herp visiting Mr.. Johnson's father
and on their way home came across
a stranded auto and driver. The ow.

leave him to his fate but in the con-
dition he was found it was Just as

Let Acorns Alone.

A boy may enter upon the govern

wild fruits he may find, and he can
gather all kinds of berries and nuts
he may come across, but if he gathers
SO much as one single acorn he can be
fined and sent to Jail.
The peasants of France roast the
acorns and grind them and mix them
with flour, and they like the bread far
better than if flour alone was used.
They buy the privilege Of gathering

BOLD ENEMY OF THE SNAKE.
Unfortunately the Mongoose Also Has
an Unsuitable Appetite for
Chicken.

The loneliest living creature in the
United States is undoubtedly the mon
goose" was the statement made by
Raymond l.. Ditmars, curator of rep
tiles at the New York Geological park.
L believe that there are but two or
three of the beasts in this country.
Mongoose society, you might say, is
not teeming with members. A mon
goose is a pink-eyed, fexible-snouted
little animal. with shape like de-
butante. He is chiefly waist, that is
TO say. He is partial to snakes, as
steady diet, or, perhaps, it might be
better to say a wriggly or unsteady
diet. He was one of the original
catch em-alive-Os.' A mongoose will
kill almost any sort of an ordinary
sized snake. Most of the constructor
family, however, are too big for him.
But he's bold mite of furry crea-
sure and will tackle almost anything
n the serpent line. A mongoose Is
easily domesticated and in many re-
spects is quite as pleasing pet as
cat or dog.
The single objection to him is the
TACT that if he can't have his snakes
pc is only too willing to subsist on
chicken. AS raider of henroosts q
Maryland darby is a neophyte COM
pared with a mongoose. That is the
reason there are so few of him in this
country. There is federal law which
absolutely forbids the Importation of a
nongoose. 1t really is pity that this
most companionable of animals has to
be barred from the country. But you
simply couldn't keep chicken in the
same neighborhood with mongoose,
safeguard the henhouses as you
might. A mongoose can go any place
he chooses. If theze isn't hole, he
lmagines one and crawls through it.
I'd like to keep one in the Bronx rep
Tile house, but couldn't afford to.
He'd dine on my rarest snakes, despite
anything could do to prevent him"

New system Of JoInting Lead Cables

New system OF JoInting Lead Cables.
A new system of jointing lead
cables has been developed in England.
1t consists in placing thin ribbon of
pure tin between the surfaces that
are to be joined, and then heating
them with blow lamp. The surfaces
in the presence Of the tin melt at
lower temperature than normal, and
thus they are soldered together. The
tin ribbon is treated with compost
ton to prevent oxidation during heat
ing. Another system of jointing con-
sists in the application of mold over
the cable. A piece of tin ribbon is ap-
piled to the surfaces which are to be
joined, and then molten lead is
poured into the mold The flow is so
directed as not to burn through the
lead sheathing of the cable.
