safe Sentiments.

Two French orators made excellent
speeches at an American Thanksgiv,
ing dinner in Paris and two Americans
made dreary ones. The first Ameri-
can had message to deliver, which
was that Americans should be upright
in business; and the second American,
a college professor, went to it for the
bigger part Of an hour on the neces-
sity Of educating children.
When it came another Americans
turn he said: "Inasmuch as one Of my
distinguished countrymen has i'm
pressed on us here tonight the start
ling truth that honesty is the best pol
icy, and as another distinguished coun-
tryman has assured us that education
is grand little thing for the young,

God bless our home," and he sat
down amid vociferous cheers.-Satur

PENCIL PROVIDES OWN LIGHT
Boon to Those Whose Business Makes
II Necessary to Write In the Dark
ness Of the Night.

An invention that will prove of value
to doctors, detectives, reporters, po-
licemen, or any one, in fact, who has
occasion to write or to take notes in
the dark, is that of a pencil that fur
nishes its own light as its point passes
along over the surface of the paper
The idea is simplicity itself. 1t con-
sists Of a pencil that has, In tAe tube
through which the point for writing
protrudes small accumulation and an
electric lamp. This little lamp
throws a small disk Of light, so
small that it can be hidden by the
Land, vet this light is quite sufficient
to guide the writer in moving the
point of his pencil for the proper
formation of characters.
Notes could be taken at the thea
ter when the house is in darkness,
doctors would find many uses for it,
detectives in hiding could make brief
notes as they proceeded with their
duties, and the very busy reporter
would find a thousand and one uses
for it almost any month in the year.
Although the light is purposely very
small and weak, yet one might locate
keyhole or a house number with it

MATCHED on MOTHER's BACH
Queer Method BY Which Toad Famll.
Is Ralsed-sometlmes Scores
az T.as.

At q recent scientific convention in
London paper was read describing
the curious process by which the
young Of certain species of frogs and
toads are developed from the egg
What is known as the Surinam toad
was cited as the most remarkable Of
these animals. The surinam toad
gets its name from surlnam, In Dutch
Guiana, in which region the species
Is not uncommon. The adult toad is
about a foot long and is one of the
largest Of the toad family.
After the eggs are laid a friendly
toad takes chem and spreads them on
the mothers back. They adhere to
the skin by peculiar sticky sub.
stance which surrounds them Grad
ually the toad's skin wrinkles up and
forms a series Of cells and in each
cell there is an egg In a day or two
more the eggs become covered over
with membrane, to protect them
from the air.
The heat of the mothers body then
incubates the eggs, and unlike set
ting Tor sitting hen she is put to
no inconvenience in the way Of stick
ing to nest, but may roam about at
will. In due course the eggs hatch
into tiny tadpoles, but they do not
emerge yet. They remain in their
comfortable quarters till they have
passed into the second or fully de-
veloped toad stage, whereupon they
break the membranous cover OF their
cell and come out into the world.
The number of young produced at
once in this way may be as many as
a hundred. In certain species of
South American tree-frogs the eggs
are Matched all together in pouch
in the mothers back, but in this case
the little ones come forth while still
tadpoles.-The Plaindealer.

CHANCE FOR THIS
CITY TO GET ON
WIRELESS ROUTE

1t is possible for Grand Junction
to get in on line of wireless tele-
graph stations to link the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts according to word
that comes from the eastern slope:
Pixies Peak is to have a wireless sta
tion, due to the recent visit of Sec
retary of the Interior Franklin X
Lane. 1t is just as probable for
Grand Junction to land a station
with the necessary push back of the
deal to secure one here. 1t would be
a big advertisement for the city and
a novel institution as we'll.
Secretary Lane was impressed with
the availability of Pixies Peak as a
wireless station site and he immed-
lately announced his intention to
give it his thorough consideration.
The establishment of a weather
bureau on the peak is another prob
able outcome of his visit:
Pomona has n small wireless sta
tion now, one that was promoted by
some enthusiastic boys of that sec
tion guided by Rev. Oscar Folger, but
their station would not be adequate
to send or receive long distance mes
