No; It Is not only because he knows

Eira. Iha, Never Go Out.

There ar many household fires In
England which are kept burning COZ
tinuOusly IN several Yorkshire inns
which. like the Falcon. on Cloughton
moor, make a speciality Of peat cakes
there is always a ruddy glow on the
hearth
There are whole districts In Wales.
too. where domestic fires never go out.
Once lit. they are kept alight because
of the difficulty Of starting them. This
is owing to the peculiar character of
the fuel. which is culm, mixture Of
anthracite coal and clay. In every
house In the culm districts the last Job
at night is making up the fire. and then
1t Is time for bed. There is no inclina-
ton to tarry. for nothing looks more
dead than the black. sodden mass from
which smoke is curling. But In the
morning the bellows quickly bring a
blaze, and the kettle boils In ten min
tes' time.-London Answers.

In his book on Newfoundland p. T.
McGrath has this to say Of the Beothic
Indians: They felied trees to form
fences to stop the caribou In their an
nual migration and head them toward
the rivers, where they could more cas-
lily kill them. Travellers who subse-
quently came upon these fences say
they often extended thirty or forty
miles and were most Ingenious in their
construction. the trees being cut so
that they fell % one another and their
branches being then interIaced In such
a fashion az made It impossible for the
deer to escape"

Unreal Suns.

The mock suns Of the arctic regions
are somewhat similar to the mirages OF
the desert. AS the long winter night
Of the polar region wanes, once every
twenty-four hours slight glow Is seen
at some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow Is seen the
phenomenon of the mock suns. Sew
eral degrees up In the heavens as
many as FIVE Of these spectral orbs
have been seen at one time. Invaria-
bly, they are all connected In a geOmet-
ric figure. the suns seemingly bound
together with circles and arcs Of light
Often when only one appears 1t Is mis-
taken for the real god Of day, and ma
tiyes rejoice at the early end of tho
long winter night, only to be disap-
pointed as the image disappears. The
explanation Of the phenomenon Is Civ
en- by physicists as refraction and re-
Election Of light from the real sun be-
low the horizon on the mists In the
upper atmosphere.

Tn. Point, Of Our starr.

The stars on our flag and those on
the great seal Of the United States. as
well as those on the seal Of the presi.
dent. are FIVE pointed. The seal Of the
house of representatives, however,
shows six pointed stars. and there are
six pointed stars on the diverse Of the
half and quarter dollar coins. with
i've pointed stars on the reverse. The
reverse Of these coins Is q copy Of the
great seal, with the clouds and the
stars omitted. So far as can be as
certained the six pointed star is de-
rived from the colonial coins. which
were designed In the manner OF Eng
lish heraldry. which sanctions that
star. The stars on the flag are copied
from the Washington coat Of arms
