Cliff of Natural Glass

A cliff Of natural glass can be seen
in Yellowstone park. 1t is half mile
long and from $50 to 200 feet high,
the material of which it consists being
as good glass as that artiflcially manu-
factured. The dense glass which
forms the base is from seventyfive to
a hundred feet thick. while the upper
portion, having suffered and survived
many ages of wind and rain, has natu-
rally worn much thinner. OF course
the color Of the cliff is not that of nat
ural glass-transparent and white-but
is mostly black and in some places
notified and streaked with brownish
red and shades of olive green and
brown.

A Famous Vine,

In the Cumberland Lodge portion Of
the royal gardens at Windsor there is a
vine. known all over England as the
Cumberland Lodge vine, which is a
shoot of a still older vine which grows
at Hampton Court, but the shoot has
far Outdistanced its parent in dimen-
sions and productiveness. In England
grapes are generally grown under
glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine
has a great glass structure, 120 feet
long by 20 wide, all to itself. Growing
with astonishing luXuriance, the vine
spreads itself over a roof area of 2,400
square feet and bears annually a crop
of approximately a thousand huge
punches of the finest favored grapes.
These grapes are frequently found on
the royal table, and the subject who is
presented with basket of them con-
siders himself highly favored. The
shoot from which the great vine has
grown was planted in 1875.

Hard For the Eskimos.

One of the difficulties of the Mora
Wan missionaries in Labrador is to
make the Old Testament, with its
wealth of pastoral detail, ineligible
to the Eslkimos, not one of whom has
ever seen a horse. "Sheep and cattle"
says Hesketh Pritchard In Hunting
Camps In Wood and Wilderness"
they cannot realize or conceive Of,
for there are no domesticated animals
save dogs in that portion of the peniu-
sula. They comprehend the story Of
Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson
and the lion, which animal can be
translated as polar bear, but of Abra-
ham in the land Of Mesopotamia they
can form no picture. The nearest ap-
proach to these ideas is drawn from
the harvest of the sea, seals and fish
taking the place of fiocks and herds"

Scott Relics at Ahhotsford.

The present estate of Abbotsford was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms, the first
one purchased bearing the "fnharmo-
NOUS designation" CLARITY Hole. After
Sir Walter Scott's death in 1884 a com
mittee of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption of the estate, and
Mr.. Cadell, the publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving the rights over
Scott's works. The library and mu
scum had been given some years be
fore by the creditors. AS his SOD,
Lieutenant Colonel w. Scott, died or
his way home from India, the prop
erty descended to J. r. Lockhart, his
son-in-law, and thence to his daugh
ter's husband, ]. r. Hope-Scott, whose
daughter held the estate for some
years. Many Scott relics are preserv-
ed in the house, notably his chair and
writing table in the study and his hat
and gloves in the hall.-London Stand

If every farmer and fruit grower
were to take the advice offered re-
Gently in a remarkable lecture before
the Farmers Club, London, British
crops would probably be multiplied in
value by millions Of pounds.
Mr. Herrod, proving his conten
tions by admirable slides, made out
the bee to be one of the greatest
friends of the human race. Formic
acid, which no chemist can make, is
obtained direct from the bees in
America and used as cure for rheu-
matism and in the hospitals honey is
now employed as a valuable substi-
tute for cod liver oil.
But the farmer and fruit grower
receive the most valuable boon. 1t
Is proved that apples are earlier,
larger and much more numerous
where bees are in quantity. Some
photographs showed that misshapen
and stunted apples are due principally
to bad fertilization and the perfect
strawberry needs 100 to 800 acts Of
fertilization.
New Zealand, which now exports
clover seed, could not grow any till a
cargo Of humble bees was sent over,
and a number of California fruit grow
ers failed till bees were kept.
The marvellous statement of Dar-
win that flowers, especially red clov-
er, are finer where cats are most
numerous was corroborated. Only
the humble bee fertilizes the first crop
of red clover the smaller flowers Of
the second crop can be reached by
honey bees; the great enemy of the
humble bee is the field mouse; the
great enemy of the field mouse is the
cat. Therefore, flowers are best where
cats are many. 1t would be not less
true to say that the clover is best
where owls are most frequent.

A Sixteen Head cahhaae.

julius Weinstein, who tills the soil
in an humble way on a bit of land
fronting on Blue Hill avenue, Rox-
bury. was very much surprised farm
er when he watched a bunch of cab
bages break through the ground.
There were many of the usual size and
shape, but somehow or other a sort
of brotherly attachment was formed
between bunch of heads so that they
insisted on playing the role of Siam
ese twins eight times over.
When they had reared themselves
about foot above the ground Mr..
Welnstein cut short their existence
in the soil and he then had a fine
freak to show TO his neighbors, six
teen heads of cabbage on one stalk.

Mistletoe a Menace,

Few people who know mistletoe only
as desirable feature of Christmas
decorations understand that the plant
is a parasite dangerous to the life of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
1t is only a question of time after
mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before the tree itself will be
killed. The parasite saps the life of
the infected branches. Fortunately it
is of slow growth, taking years to de-
velop to large proportions, but when
neglected it invariably ruins all trees
it reaches. The only method of exter-
mination is the cutting down of dis
eased trees.-EXchange.
