POINTS OUT NEW OCCUPATION
Expert Of Department of Agriculture
Urges the Cultivation of Edible
Snails.

Snail culture apparently has not yet
made beginning in this country, the
few snails found on the market here
being brought over from Europe alive
In barrels and casks and sold by fish
dealers in our large cities. Writing in
the last Yearbook of the department
Of agriculture, Mr.. e. w. Rusts sug-
gests that the opportunities for snail
growing are really much better in the
United States than in Europe. While
In the old world the snail grower gem
orally has but small piece of land
on which the snails must be confined
by fence of special design, and
where they must be regularly fed, in
this country there is an abundance of
waste land where the creatures might
be successfully raised without atten-
ton, and as they do not wander far,
they would not need to be confined.
Mr.. Rust states that the Mississippi
valley offers ideal conditions for snail
culture. There is no reason why
snails should not be used to some ex-
tent as substitute for oysters, which
they resemble in flavor. Their feed
Ing habits do not, as in the case of
oysters, involve the possible danger
OF infection with typhoid and other
diseases.-Scientific American.

Lumber to Travel 10000 Miles.

A cargo Of Douglas FIR to be used in
building docks at Port Nelson on Hud-
son bay will travel nearly 10000 miles
on shipboard before it reaches its des-
tination at the end of voyage which
has already begun with the vessels
departure from British Columbia. Al
though, "as the crow files" the for
ests that produced this lumber are
only 1,400 miles from the Hudson bay
port to which It has been shipped,
transportation by way of the Panama
canal, through which it is being sent,
means trip which has been estimated
at $500 miles, or seven times the
actual distance between Vancouver
and Port Nelson. Consul julius D.
Dreher, at Toronto, Canada, who re-
ports on this matter, states that con-
signment of British Columbia timber
is on the way to the Poison Iron works
at Toronto, by way Of the Panama
canal, to be made into masts for a
dredge being built for use at Port Nell
son.

SITE OF GARDEN OF EDEN
Recently Discovered Tablets Give the
Legendary Spot as Island Of
Bahreln.

The history of Bahrein, In the Per.
sian gulf, is long and interesting. An
cient tombs found in the interior tell
US that the Phoenicians once settled
there. The kings of Assyria frequent
ly fought there. The Babylonians
called the island Dilmun
Again the island is the center Of In
terest, for there has recently been dis
covered in Babylonia large clay tab
let recording the story of Paradise.
the deluge and the fall OF man, and the
story tells US, says the Christian Her
aid, that the island of Bahrein, the
ancient Dilmun, was the paradise. the
Garden of Eden, where man first
lived.
The newly deciphered tablet record
ing this story was among the many IN
scribed objects found by the expedi-
ton sent to Babylonia from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Prof. Stephen
Langdon, young American scholar,
who is professor Of Assyriology In
Jesus college, Oxford, England, chair
endowed by an American family, was
visiting the museum in Philadelphia In
the autumn of 1912
At that time he copied a number OF
the tablets. one OF which was TRAN
gular fragment. He took the clay tab
let to Oxford, where 1t was shown to
the eminent English scholar, Profess
sor Sayce, and it was discovered that
it recorded part of an early Sumer-
ian story of the flood and of the fall
of man.

WoMAN's PROGRESS GOES ON
Pittsburgh Wards Board Of School
Visitors Is for the Time Being
Entirely Feminine.

A news item in the Leader provides
striking evidence of woman's progress
Announcement was made that whole
board Of school visitors in the Twenty
sixth ward will consist of women.
1t has been only a few years since
the candidacy of the late Miss Kate
Mcknight for a seat on an Allegheny
school board attracted statewide at
tention. But within short period the
men of city ward deemed it wise
and to the best interest of the citizens
to fill board of visitors with women.
The wisdom exhibited by the men in
giving women an opportunity to exer-
else their intelligence in governing the
public schools is a wholesome sign.
Women are the natural guardians of
children. They have charge of them
in their homes. Their experienced
hands will make favorable impress
sion on the schoolroom.
Women are already represented on
the board of education. Their pres
ence there is fixed. Their position
will not be changed unless their in
fiuence is enlarged. = Pittsburgh

WHY PoPEs NEVER PREACH
Tradition Of the Church, That Has
Seldom Been Broken, ForbIds
Presence In Pulpit.

The preparation and delivery of SER
mons which impose such heavy
burden Of toll upon other ministers
Of God have no terrors for the pope,
for the good and sufficient reason that
the traditions of the church forbid
his preaching.
OF all the many strange restrictions
which hedge about pope. one of the
strangest is that he should not be al
lowed to preach. Only once in 300
years has a pope delivered a sermon,
and that was under most exceptional
circumstances in 1916.
On the Octave of the Epiphany a
celebrated preacher, Padre Ventura,
was to have occupied the pulpit in
st. Peters, but was suddenly taken i'll.
To prevent disappointment to the
vast crowd which had assembled Plus
TX broke through the custom of ages,
and ascending the pulpit delivered a
simple. homely sermon that perhaps
impressed its hearers more than the
finest eloQuence might have done, be-
cause of it's uniqueness.

sono and Addition.

If soldiers be encouraged by the
authorities to sing on the march, civil
servants might be exhorted to tighten
their duties in the same way. Sir
Laurence CONNIE confesses that at the
beginning Of his official career he used
to add up huge columns Of figures for
statistical purposes by the simple pro-
cess of doing the task to the tune Of
Gregorian music, and he was always
correct in his arithmetical results. Elk
amples Of the practice of performing
labor tasks to the accompaniment of
music could, Sir Laurence says, be
produced from all over the world. He
instances the case of the London paw
iors who until 40 years ago or so used
to be mulcted by their mates of the
price Of a pot of ale If they omitted
to groan rhythmically at each thud
of the ram.

The Fruitful DAYS.

Now comes the season of accom-
plishment. Summers light and heat
have long ago suffused these buildings
with which we wrap ourselves against
the influences of the natural world and
have laid up even in the feeblest of us
some store of energy, some additional
gift Of life. Whether we see it or not,
we are ready now, if ever, against the
darkness of winter when the tides of
being are low and it's wheels turn SLOW
ly. We have before US the example
and inspiration of the earth's mighty
harvest, the warning of these shorter
days, and the spur of cooler weather.
Those who teach know that the sue
cess Of their years work depends on
the drive of the next four months.
Those who direct the enterprises of
trade and manufacture know that this
is the time to realize what has long
been planned. If you purpose to learn
anything or do anything better than
in the past, now is the hour for your
beginning, the beneficent strength of
things is on your side, and the course
Of the world runs with yours. The
past is help, but not hindrance, and
the way is clear toward whatever good
may be your goal.-Co1lier's Weekly.

KILLS ALL GERMS IN MILK
Alternating Current of Electricity, 1t
Has Been Found, VIII Do
the Work.

Electrocution for milk germs is the
latest method of providing safe milk.
Much Of the milk supplied from the
large public stations in Liverpool is
now treated by electricity. The harm
full bacteria are nearly all killed, so
that a capped bottle of the electro
cuted milk will keep sweet for eight
days.
Various methods were tried in the
effort to find one that would kill the
germs without altering the chemical
composition of the milk. A continuous
current of electricity would not do it,
but rapidly alternating current at a
pressure of about four thousand volts
succeeded. Apparently the compost
ton of the milk is not changed at
all and the city puts it out as raw
milk.
The operation is simple enough:
The milk is allowed to flow through
long glass tube; and in this tube,
near the ends, are placed two short
copper rods. The electric supply is
connected with the two copper rods
The milk flows through the tube so
rapidly that it passes the two rods
in few seconds, getting by before
it is heated very much. though &C.
casional flashes Of current, which
would burn the milk, must be looked
out for.-Saturday Evening Post.

height that Santa Barbara channel was

Then the land again saIk beneath

substance found in peat treated by
bacteria, called auximones, which had

DANGER FROM WHITE WOLVES

Writing of his recent adventures In

to pack up their sledges and drive,

old books on travel in Siberia. Twelve

prayed that they would not stop, but

would have done so had we been able
to control our dogs, who were now
wild with excitement, whining, yelp-
ing and straining on the traces. We
houted and threatened and dashed with
the whip, at the same time holding
back with all our strength on the up
