AGASS|z AS A BOY
Seems to Have Had Normal
Share of MiSchievousnesS.
In His Letters and RecolIectlons"
He Has Told Of His Amusing
Encounters With a Prus-
sian Governor

An anecdote of Alexander AgassiT
boyhood in Neuchatel, in the days
when that Swiss canton was admins
tered by the Prussian officials, shows
that the man who was to become so
famous as a scholar and a man OF
science had his full share OF a healthy
boys mischievousness. The story Is
told in his Letters and Recollec4
tions."
The small boys of Neuchatel were
much interested in politics. They were
arrayed in two parties. the royalists
and the reds. The former were de-
voted to Prussia. and loyal subjects
of Friedrich Wilhelm; the reds were
ardent Swiss patriots, who wished
Neuchatel to have the same repub-
lican form of government that the 9TH
err Swiss cantons enjoyed, and who
resented the authority of the governor,
an appointee of the king of Prussia
The governor, who liked to show his
authority in the smallest details, was
so lacking in a sense of tact and OF
proportion as to complain to Louis
Agassiz that his little sosI was not sa-
luting him with enough politeness. AL
exander was punished, and when he
met the governor on the street the
next day, he saluted him with exag-
gerated abjectness. The governor
complained of that, too, whereupon
the elder Agassiz, much incensed,
gave his son a sound thrashing; for
the father was a great admirer OF the
king. who, at the suggestion Of Hum
boldt, had assisted him in many ways.
Not content with this victory, the goY-
ernor singled out his diminutive adj
versary at a school celebration, and
held him up for reproof before large
audience.
When IL was Alexander's turn to re-
ceive his prizes from the governor, he
was so angry that he refused them
with scorn, turned his back on the
representative of the king, and, to the
delight of the reds, walked out Of the
room. That led to further punishment
at home.
Infatuated at the governors treat
ment, the youthful patriot collected
band of confederates of his own age,
stormed the castle on the night OF
large dinner party at which his father
was present, and smashed all the win
dows of the state dining hall. Louis
Agassiz, suspecting the instigator OF
this outrage, rushed home, but found
his son safely in bed and apparently
asleep.
Commenting on this episode in after
years. Alexander Agassiz remarked
that It was perhaps fortunate he came
to the United States at an early age.
for with his views he would surely
have been hung or shot before he had
grown to middle agel-Youth's Com
panion.

OF THE SKY
Country's Winged Citizens Have
Been Enumerated.
interesting Discoveries Made Through
investigation by the Department
Of Aarleulture-Robins Out
number Sparrows.

There is a country whose cities are
never overcrowded, the present census
registering on the average two citi-
zens to every acre. This country is
the land OF the sky; it's citizens, the
birds.
The United States department Of
agriculture has discovered the facts
and put them safely away in a bull
letin which the public may have for
the asking, though by what methods
the government biologists obtained
and substantiated the numbers this
same public has not yet been advised.
Did they resort to aeroplanes? And
once in the aeroplane did they consult
Mr. and Mrs. Bird as to the number Of
their children? We are not yet in
formed, but it can easily be seen that
there might be some confusion.
AS a rule statistics only stupefy, but
there's something to be said for the
robin which may interest some people.
There is more of him than of any
ether bird in the United States-six
pairs of robins to each farm Of 5S
acres. The English sparrow is close
second. five pairs to each So acres.
No other bird is nearly so abundant as
either the robin or sparrow.
One conclusion which will interest
mankind-chiefiy because 1t concerns
mankind-is the preference of breed
ing birds for thickly populated CEN
tiers. They prefer the Great White
Way to the quiet forest. This seems
to indicate the beginnings OF human
intelligence-oh, well, perhaps not in
telligence, but it's human, whatever
else 1t may be. And. say the biolo-
gists, it seems probable that as our
human population increases 80 will
our bird population increase. Thus we
get around to race suicide and-it is
inevitable-to Roosevelt.
Throughout the United States, TAX
ing 100 robins as a unit, other birds
were noted in the following ratio: Cat
birds, 49; house wrens, %; brown
thrashers, 81; kingbirds, q; blueblrds,
20.
Chevy Chase, Md, holds the record
for density of population. One hun
dred and sixty-one pairs were found
nesting on % acres, "a species of birds
being represented.
The department announces that this
census is to be repeated and on a
much larger scale, IL bird lovers are
willing to aid. There are no funds to
pay for this work, and 1t therefore de-
ponds on volunteers who will con-
tribute the facts in the case.

sears In the War REGION.

An enormous black bear was seen
slouching along midway between the
Russian and Austrian trenches in the
Carpathians the other morning. The
business of war was forgotten and the
Austrians and Russians sent a volley
at the unfortunate bear, killing IL.
There are large numbers of bears and
wolves in the southeastern ranges OF
the mountains, and very often advance
guards have to fight for their lives
with these ferocious beasts, which,
driven by hunger and made furious by
the sound of cannonading, are ready
to attack any number OF men.

Popular Mechanics.
Synthetic Resins.

New synthetic resins have been dis
covered recently and are appearing on
the market under many trade names,
says writer in the Scientific Ameri-
can. The resins are used in the pro-
duction of materials such as artificial
amber, pipestems, toothbrush handles,
beads, transparent jewelry, buttons OF
all sizes, inlaid work, knife handles,
fountain pens, etc, and take the place
OF bone, horn, ivory, celluloid, amber,
casein (gallolith), ebony and hard
rubber. These artificial resins in their
final conditions do not melt or even
soften, appreciably at all tempera-
lures, and do not burn like rubber or
celluloid. When heated in the air to
temperatures well above 500 degrees
Fahrenheit the resins char and burn
slowly without a flame. They are
quite insoluble in all ordinary solv-
ents, such as gasoline, alcohol, ammo
MIA, washing soda and acids.

Golfer Without Arms.

An armless golfer is regular player

means of his mouth, chin and shoul-
ders he does practically everything
possible for normal golfer to accom-

cessive years he has won the title and
trophy presented by the club to the
caddie covering the IS holes in the
lowest score. He also plays pool and
billiards well. grasping the cue firmly

Two beautiful dress hats emphasize
the fact that hats large or small or
anywhere between may be chosen by
milady when she centers her atten-
ton upon her summer millinery. The
matter of size need only be consid-
cred in connection with that OF be-
comingness. The little hat still holds
its own in glorious company Of
newly arrived picturesque wide
brimmed allurements that pleasingly
distract the attention and divide the
honors.
without doubt the trend is toward
the large hat for midsummer. And If
vote might be taken and recorded
as to which is the most beautiful Of
all hats the chances are the big black
picture hat would be conceded to be
the favorite of womankind-and man

TEACHING CHILDREN TO TALK
Comparatively an Easy Matter to Get
Them to Use the Right Words In
Right Place.

We teach our children to eat nicely,
to walk gracefully, and to dress them
selves neatly, and all the rest of 1t,
but very few of us take the trouble TO
teach them how to talk in an interest
ing way, though the art of entertain
ing conversation is as valuable an
art as one can possess. says the Cam
den Daily Courier
II you listen to the ordinary gossip
in an average family you will notice
that the children use the same set
of words again and again. They have
half a dozen adjectives with which
they sprinkle their conversation and
they help out their lack of expression
by such tags as "Oh, well. you know
what | mean." or 1T was a sort oil
what-do-you-call-it" and so on.
II is a pity to allow such slovenly
habits of speech to be formed. Even
when the accent and grammar are
quite good, the children's speech is
often very uninteresting just because
of the thoughtless style of expression
used.
When a glaringly unsuitable word is
used take a chance of speaking about
It and suggesting better one. There
will be no need to nag at the chill
dren on such points as these. They
will be only too glad to learn. II they
have the chance, for most little ones
are instinctively attracted by the mere
sound of fine words.
