For some centuries the scientists

to What becomes of the pins?
Everybody knows in a general way
and a very few realize fully that
many hundreds of thousands of
tons of copper, tin, steel and other
metals are made into pins every
year. only to 90 into use for a brief
period and then. like the fated
hunter of the "BoOjum" in the
Hunting of the Shark" quietly
vanish away"
An English gentleman. who
wanted to know" has quietly ex-
perimented with pins of various
kinds. and now announces that a
brief time elapseS, not over one
hundred and fifty-fOur days. before
the indispensable hair-pin is resolv-
ed into dust and blown away by the
wind. Bright pins last nearly eigh-
teen months, polished steel needles,
two years and half; brass pins are
very short-lived; and steel-pens even
when not exposed to acids in inks
are nearly eaten away in a year. At
last the mystery of the ages has
been solved. and we know what
becomes of the pins. National

The Robin.
In the tall elm tree sat the robin
bright.
Through the rainy April day;
And he caroled clear with a pure
delight,
In the face Of the sky so gray.
And the silver rain through the
blossoms dropped.
And fell On the robins coat
And his brave red breast, but he
never stopped
Plying his cheerful note.
For oh. the fields were green and
glad.
And the blissful life that stirred
In the eartL's wide breast was full
and warm
In the heart of the little bird.
The rain-cloud lifted, the sunset
light
Streamed wide over valley and
hill,
AS the plains of heaven, the land
grew bright,
And the warm south wind was
still.
Then loud and clear called the
happy bird,
And rapturously he sang.
Till wood and meadow and riverside
With jubilant echoes rang
But the sun dropped down in the
quiet west;
The tall trees length'ning shad-
OWS cast;
All nature softly sank to rest,
And the jubilant day had passed

RIDING A CAMEL.
u Strenuous Task That Promotes .
Love Of Walking.

Riding a camel is by no means an
easy or enjoyable method Of locomo-
ton. according to the description given
by Mr.. NJ j. Randall in his book.
''Sinai In Spring"
IF asked How do you ride a camelT
l reply invent as many attitudes as
you can and employ them all in turn;
adjust and readjust the rugs and cush-
ions on which you sit; ride straight:
ride crooked: ride with stirrups made
OF rope: ride without them; hitch first
your right knee round the front POM
mel. then your left knee; stretch your
self wide legged over the saddlebags
regardless of the firearms. dates
crockery. etc. which they contain un-
til nature commands you to make .
less obtuse angle: ride side saddle. il
you can persuade your Bedouin that 1t
Is possible to do so without prejudice
to the camel. Ride how you will and
when you will. but. above all-walk.
Not only is the sheik himself glad
Mt your suggestion. but not otherwise
to mount for awhile. but it is a lesson
in graceful riding to watch him
perched up there. heaven knows how.
in some oriental way you have never
dreamed of. and it is lesson in courte,
sy to mark how at every turn Of the
road he offers to forego his pipe of
ace-chibouk-and post Of comfort
and descend to the sand. leaving you
to incumber his beast OF burden"
