Observations Of
 A Clodhopper
By TEMPEST

by TEMPEST
 Spring is here, proclaimed by all the signs so we'll known. It is in advance of the usnal time. The frog orchestra billed our section away ahead of time and mighty the deep bass and the tenor, the alto and the soprano in one grand chorus gurgle the evening seranade while an occasional falsetto or bar itone joins in the refrain from some bit of marsh or creek apart from the regular musicians, bush and fence post. The mocking bird mim- ics the frogs, the birds and domestic animals from his perch far out in the cedars and pinion. Sometimes he laughs in silly way. at some- thing that amuses him in the songs that he copies or origonates; again he cries hysterically at the requi- ums and raphsodies that bear the sadder meaning.
 From the ground the flowers and grasses spring to carpet the earth in rich colors and softer weave than is the power of artists to do. The trees, awakened from their Information bud out in rich clust- CTS of purple and white flowers, mingled with tender leaves of green.
 Gentle breezes from the south land blow and now and then great f1eeces of clouds gather to shower and vanish as if to make room for more sunshine. The landscape cleansed from the dust of the sum- mer before and the leaves that be- longed in .Autumn's reign and re- mained thru the winter, looms in bold relief, every niche in nature' 8 sculpture accentuated.
 Bees drone and buzz from sunup till sunset among the blooms on the bushes and trees and when the shades of even cluster about they fly with arrow like swiftness to their abodes in trees and caves.
 In wonder foot hills and still be- yond amongst the ragged mourn tain heights, Cyclopian force into remnants of beauty and granduer, the gentle deer and antelope browse on the fresh green herbs that are abundant there while uncomfortab- ly close at hand dens of bear and mountain lion lend fear to the hearts of the denizens of the forests. Quail are located by the appealing cry from mate to mate as they dodge the hawk and the wild cat.
 On the farm the horses and COWS are sleek in their summer vest ments and the smell of newly plow- ed sod speaks that the season for planting is here, Every sign be- trays abundant crops unless the whitening tough of the brush in the hands of Jack Frost should blight the fruit.

Build Island of Concrete.
From Popular Mechanics.


An artificial island Of reinforced con-
crete has been built In the Mediter-
ranean at Hyeres strait, near Toulon.
tho great French naval base. which is.
to be used solely for testing torpedoes.
The island is not a large one. being less
than eighty feet long by about fifty feet
broad. and is built upon a reinforced cons,
crete caisson which was towed out from
Toulon and submerged. 1t is divided
into compartments by walls four feet
thick. IN the largest OF which. ten feet
below the sea level, the torpedoes are
handled. Projecting from this compart-4
ment are three torpedo tubes, while
above the surface of the water. ten feet
in the air, are two aertal-torpedo tubes.
The operating mechanism. which uses
electricity as a motive power. is all con-
tanned in the superstructure built over
the caisson. and lighting and ventilating
systems as well as wireless and search
lights are provided. An electric crane
extending out from one side permits the
torpedoes to be lifted from the water
and returned to their stations after
practice.
