Irish butter, which is engaging the
attention OF the house of lords, has
staying powers. In 1906 some men cut
ting turf near Killucan found a tub
containing about two hundredweight of
butter buried deep in bog. From the
style in which the tub was made it was
surmised that the butter was over 100
years old. Yet, owing, to the use of
some preservative. it was not absolute
ly uneatable, though somewhat rancid.
Similar deposits have been found in
other parts of Ireland, some wrapped
in cloth which on exposure to the air
crumbled to dust, 1t Is supposed that

TO CURB NOISE MANIAC.
Writer in Motor Car Journal Would
Make Unlawful Needless Blow
ing of Auto Horns

NEW YORK, April "a writer in
the May issue of Motor" out yester-
day, says too little thought in the
framing of automobile laws has been
given to the reduction of noise and
prevention OF accidents through the
proper regulation of automobile signals.
IN discussing the problem from a
standpoint of noise, the author de
clares that only a small element among
motorists misuse their signals. Some
offenders err through thoughtIessness
or carelessness but the majority OF
those who make unnecessary noise with
their signals are of the same type As
the iov-ridcr: and like him ought to
be suppressed at every opportunity
without the great majority of law
abiding automobilists being made to
suffer for their sins.
. In the past two years there has
been an active campaign in progress
to regulate the use of automobile warn
ING signals; to legally demand the use
of adequate signals and to restrict the
use of such signals except as warnings
Of danger.
The failure of motorists to use sig
QtiS IN JHtlE true Junction gives a
wrong impression to the non-touring
public which is largely in the majority.
Motorists should learn the results OF
misusing their warning signals. 1t Is
equally necessary that the non-motor-
lists should understand that the misuse
of Il warning signal in no way detraets
from the general benefit of such a sig
nal when it is properly used. Once
this fact is understood many of the
| disturbing conditions that constantly
operate to create antagonism between
motorist and non-motOrist would be re
moved.
i ssFrom time to time the question Is
raised can automobile drivers be
| taught to use their warning signal
properly?' Most drivers do this very
| thing. The trouble is the deliberate
noise-maker makes so much noise he
| gives the impression that a far greater
number of persons misuse their signals
' han are guilty of the offense. The
medy lies in the vigorous punish
.ent or the maker of unnecessary noise
| a disturber of the peace. =

FOR The CHILDREN
A Wonderful Tree,

The rain tree of Peru can be cult
waited with very little trouble, for it
seems Indifferent as to the soil In
which it grows. The tree increases
rapidly and resists both extremes of
climate. 1t grows very large, is rich
in leaves and is called by the Indians
tamaicaspi
This wonderful tree has the power of
collecting the dampness of the atmos-
phere and condensing it into a contin-
uous and copious supply of rain.
In the first season, when the rivers
are low and the heat great, the trees
power of condensing seems at the high
est and water falls in abundance from
the leaves and oozes from the trunk.
The water spreads around in verita BILE
rivers, part of which filters into the
soil and fertilizes it. These rivers are
canalized so as to regulate the course
of the water
1t is estimated that one Of the Peru
Wan rain trees will on the average
yield nine gallons of water per day
In field of an area Of one kilometer
square-that is. $3.50 feet each way
can be grown 10000 trees. This plan
tation will produce daily $4,000 liters
of water. Ii we allow for evaporation
and intiltratiOn we have $4,000 liters,
or 29,531 gallons, Of rain for distribu-
ton daily.

Where Perfume Flowers Grow.

The center of the perfumery indus
try is at Grasse. ten miles inland from
Cannes. on the Riviera. and all around
the little town many acres are given
up to the flowers used in the manufac-
ture of scents. The earliest of these
are the little white hyacinths and the
violets, both single and double, and
these are followed in quick succession
by the strongly scented yellow jon
quits, oranges, roses, jasmine, tube
roses and lavender. The harvest of
orange blossoms begins in May, and
the essence, having been extracted at
Grasse, is largely forwarded to Co
logne. where it is used in the manu-
facture of eau de Cologne. The har-
vesters are mostly Italian laborers. In
the hot sun the scent is almost over
towering.

Tro Boyits,

That is what you will succeed in say
ing if you repeat ''Troy boats" ten
times. Try it on your friends, partic-
ularly on those who can say Peter
Piper picked peck of picked pep
pers," and Around the rock the rag
ged rascal ran," and Papa, potatoes,
poultry, prunes and prisms," and "She
sells seashells on the seashore."
Just why TROY boats is so difficult
is not quite easy to understand, be-
cause the 'oy'' in Troy and the TOP in
boats can easily be repeated. The fact
is. though, that it is one of the most
difficult combinations in the English
language
1t is all the more amusing, too, be-
cause it sounds so simple. The long,
complex sentences. designed to try the
unwary, are obviously hard. but every
one will smile when asked to say
TROY boats" ten times.
AS matter Of fact, those two words
are such trap for the tongue that the
men who call out the boats on the
piers in New York hardly ever say
Troy boat" but Boat for Troy"
which any one can say without the
least trouble.

aches, dread of impending evil, timidity,
sounds in the ears, palpitation of the

RininQ Game.

A very interesting game for older
children is to have some one write a
line on a piece of paper, fold it over
once and then tell what the last word
is and how many words are in the
line. The next writer puts down a
line of the same number of words or
nearly the same. but not riming with
the last word given out. The third
player must make his last word
rime with that of the first line, and
the fourth writer has to end his line
with something that sounds like the
last word in the second line This can
go on for as many times as there are
players. Later the poems are collect
ed and read aloud, and they make
very funny reading indeed.
