finally got into their goal tossing stride
they simply ran away with things. At
the end of the first half the score was g
to IA in their favor.
In the second period playing was slow

lenge from any team that will guarantee

only to name the time and the place. All

The STRONGER Hand.

If you are right handed. then the
right hand Is stronger than the left. II
you are left handed the left hand will
be stronger If you are truly ambidex-
trous the strength Of both hands will
be equal The advantage of one hand
over the other is due to the greater ex-
ercise it may receive. AL the muscles
Of our arms and legs are developed by
exercise. and their respective strength
will be in accordance with their use.
That the right hand Is stronger than
the left can be proved by discontinu.
ing the use of the right arm for sew
eral weeks by tying it to the side of
your body. When you release the arm
you will find that much of its strength
is gone and that now the left hand
is stronger This applies to a right
handed person. and the test would
work the other way with left handed
person. This goes to show that the
strength of hands and arms is uncon.
sciously affected by the amount Of ra-
tional exercise. Exchange.

War and coun*erfeita,

Prior to Napoleon's 1912 campaign
the Paris gendarmes one night made
a raid on house in the Plaine Mont
rouge and discovered quite fine man
ufactory of false notes. There was
quite stir next day when the police
minister made the announcement that
the manufactory had been started "by
order of the emperor" The false
notes. which were Austrian and Rus.
sian instead of French. were intended
for use against the enemy on the Rus
sian expedition. but the bulk of them
came to grief during the great re-
treat.
Wellington was responsible for
similar stroke Of business during the
peninsular war. Being badly in need
of gold when about to invade France,
he conceived the queer idea Of hunt
ing out some counterfeit coiners from
the ranks. Quite number of these
gentry were forthcoming, and these
were ordered by the duke to exercise
their evil art by transferring his Eng
lish sovereigns into louis dor and ma

ANCIENT WIRELESS"

An Old Roman Carrier Pigeon Station
Still Stands In France.
A few miles north of Marseilles and
within easy walk of the tram to AK

village that tourists usually miss. 1t
was founded by the Romans during
their occupation of the south of
France and is built in accordance with
the customs of that time. The houses
appear to be perched on top of each
other, but on closer inspection are
found to be built on lodges on hill.
side.
This hill is the most interesting fea.
ture of the place. What appears as
a solitary crag is in reality castle,
the rooms, Notifications, etc., being cut
out of the solid rock and forming a
fortress practically impregnable in
those days. At the side Of the castle
is round tower, about forty feet in
height and seven feet in diameter.
The interior Of this tower acted as
the wireless station" In Roman times.
The interior consisted of a series OF
pigeon lofts, from which the birds,
bearing messages, were sent direct to
Rome.
The whole Of the interior was con.
etructed Of very hard cement, which,
with the wear of ages, is now slowly
decaying. and only one perfect ''loft"
now remains. There was accommoda.

ton elm which possesses 100000
leaves exposed, foliage surface Of
i've acres, which gives of to the air
260 barrels Of water every summers
day, and that this tree is located neal
paved streets and cement sidewalks
The question arises, Where does this
vast amount of water come from2 II
Is assumed that many city trees perish
from lack Of water owing to water
tight pavement and water tight side.
walks.
In answering this question it must
not be forgotten that the roots of any
tree, especially the elm tree, extend a
long distance, thus encroaching upon
the lawn soils adjacent, the sidewalks
and the streets.
It must also be remembered that
there are many subterranean springs
existing in cities and towns as well as
on farms.
Notwithstanding these explanations
we wonder at the capacity of this big
tree to gather moisture to its roots,
partly rooted over by city pavements.
It illustrates the fact that there is
much yet to be learned about root
growth and tree growth generally.
After being told that one tree throws
into the air 260 barrels Of water every
summers day we may get some idea
of the reason for the coolness of the
air In the forest or beneath shade trees
growing in the field or upon our lawns.
Shade trees are indeed more productive
