rhe searehIiaht and Foa.

It will be noticed on a foggy night that the beam of searchlight seems abruptly to come to an end if the light be pointed upward. On the other hand, if the beam be directed horizontally it will gradually fade away into nothing. Why should the vertical beam behave in this curious way? The reason is not far to seek Where the end of the beam seems to be at just that point does the fog end, for the beam cannot be visible to us unless there are small particles in it's path. This circum- stance is of great assistance to sailors in judging the state of the weather, since they can determine the thickness or depth of the fog. They can also tell by throwing the beam horizontally whether the fog is of great extent or whether tt exists only in patches. If the fog extends great distance then the beam will become gradually more and more dim. If the fog exists only in patches, then the beam is lighter in patches, and if it proceeds through place where there is no fog at all that part of the beam will be black or invisible.-Harper's.

Work of aha Beaver.

The beavers conservation work is accomplished principally by means of the dams he constructs. These dams, we are told by Enos A. Mills, author of t'In Beaver World" save soil, check erosion, reduce flood damage, store wa ter and help to sustain stream flow, provide waterholes for fish and are helpful in maintaining deep water ways by reducing the extremes of both high and low water and also reduce the quantity of sediment carried down into/ the river channels When we take into consideration the fact that at one time In the country's history the beaver population was upward of a hundred nillion,''' it is possible to real ize what may have been accomplished by him along conservation lines. Like other wild creatures of mountain and plain he suffered from the advance of civilization, though he was prime fac tor in bringing this about

MT. Asqutths younger son, Cyril, has followed the lead of his father and brother at Oxford by taking first the Craven scholarship (for excellence in Greek and Latin) and now by talk ing a first class in I4iterae Human iores, or Classical Greats "It now only remains to complete the triple analogy by securing a, fellowship and scoring a success at the bar,' observes the Pau Mall Gazette, which. rank est'' of tory newspapers, and widest in abuse of the Asquith governme ent, nevertheless calls Asquith "a great Englishman,'' and praises the ''sound- hess of his qualities, inherent and transmitted" It is interesting to note that success in classical scholarship is taken for granted as a, proof of intel 1ectual qualities of the first order.

OUR UNIVERSAL SIN.

THE habit of exaggeration, in one
which nearly every human being Is
guilty of to greater or less ex-
tent says the KeDta Eagle. Many
people would deny Indignantly that
they ever exaggerated a statement OF
any kind but If they viii take stock
of themselves closely they will find
there are few subjects they enlarge
upon. We encounter it a dozen times
day. If a friend tells you how
muddy the roads are, about how cold
1t was, how poor the solo was the
lady sang, he will, unconsciously per-
haps, make it out just little mud
der or a little colder or a little
screetchier than it really was. We
wish to impress our hearer that what
we say Is fact, as Gradgrind said;
that our experience is little out of
the ordinary. II would be hard for
any individual to always hold him.

What would Mark Twain's reputation
be to-day IL he had not exaggerated
the things that happeIted to him; or
any other great writer, or statesman,
or preacher or editor. We knew a
minister Of the gospel one time who
magnified every statement-to such an
extent that one was safe in discount
ing all of them at least SO per cent.
And he was no worse than many an
other. What he professed to be made
it noticeable, that is all. And in many
cases there Is no harm I'M it. But We
are all guilty,

MAJOR LACEY.

Bernard Murphy in Vinton Eagle:
Many strong enconiums are being
passed upon the late Maj. Lacey, of
Oskaloosa. He deserved all the best
things that can be said. He was a
noble American citizen. His sole enc
mics were political opponents. Every
old soldier in the state loved him;
every citizen who judged a man by
the good he did loved him. He was a
true disciple of conservation and he
had a number of laws placed in the
statutes protecting the natural parks
and the birds of the country. He did
it from the purity of his heart; he
loved his fellow-men and his mind
ran to those thoughts which would
tend to elevate mankind. He did not
court the favor of nor pay for space
in the magazines to exploit his deeds.
He gave his young manhood to the
service of his country and when the
great civil war ended he returned
home and prepared himself for a
place in the world. He chose the law
and he honored that great profession.
Many mourners gathered at his late
home in Oskaloosa to shed a silent
tear while the last services to the
mortal body were being said. He
leaves a grand heritage to his wife
and children-a good name. He is at
rest ...s -
