Wind Shots.

Two striking instances of the effects

Making Themselves Known.
"Persons who expect to receive mon
ey orders in a strange town take in
finite precautions to identify them
selves" said a postal clerk. 'One
way that particularly commends itself
is for the stranger to call on the pay
ing teller in the money order depart
ment before his own order arrives and
present a bunch of correspondence
showing pretty clearly who he is. He
then explains that he is expecting a
money order from certain person.
Can the clerk remember him when he
presents it for payment? After that
impressive introduction the clerk
tusually can remember. and when the
order is presented he cashes it."-New

How Wheat Came TO Earth.
A classic account Of the distribution
of wheat over the primeval world
shows that Ceres. having taught her
eavorite. Triptolemus. the art Of agri-
culture and the science of -breadmak-
fng, gave him her chariot. celestial
vehicle. and that in 1t he Travelled night
and day. distributing this valuable

Color Tones For Whistler.
About the time James Mcneil Whis-
tier. the artist. was causing a sensation
with the painting which he called "A
Harmony In Black and Red" "A Noe
turne In Blue" or some such name he
had a misunderstanding with his club
regarding dues. The secretary finally
wrote to Mr.. Whistler saying that the
club would be glad to receive from him

Plagiarism.
Nothing is sillier than this charge OF
plagiarism. There Is no sixth COM

may even appropriate entire columns

1.-THE Great Unknown"

For thirteen years the autnOr OF
"Waverley" was unknown. Indeed, the
country spoke of him as 1.-The great
unknown" a pspudonym Sir Walter
Scott often employed In writing. But
on Feb. %, 1927, Sir Walter gave a
dinner party to which. among others,
Lord Meadowbank. the judicial mag
nate, who CHANGED TO know his hosts
secret, was invited. Then when the
toasts were being drunk Meadowbank,
with Scott's permission. got up and
proposed the health of the great I'M

was magical. and the news spread
through the country like wildfire. That
dinner and the secret 1t disclosed were
the most talked Of events of the year.
Problem Of the Electric Eel.
Invention during the next two or
three centuries will probably be in the
direction Of initiating the wonderful
economy and the simple direct methods
of nature, says Professor John G. Nc
Kendrick. Take the electric eel. Its
electric organ is in no sense a storage
battery. but a continuance by which
electric energy is liberated atsthe mo-
ment when it is required. At rest the
organ shows so small an electromotive
force that a good galvanometer is re-
Quired TO detect il. but a sudden nerv-

very little heat and so small an ex-

A Carnival Of Owarfs.
Car Peter of Russia celebrated a

In ITO. Dwarfs of both sexes within
