The Boone Trail.

A few days ago there was unveiled at
Cumberland gap monument to Daniel
Boone that also commentaries the COM
pIetion of the work of marking the Boone
trail, as followed by the indomitable
pioneer on his journey westward from
the Yadkin river, in North Carolina, TO
Booneboro, Ky. The marking OF the trail
was undertaken in 1911 by the Daughters
OF the American Revolution. Some idea
OF the extent of the reverence with which
Kentuckians regard Boone's memory may
be gained from the fact that they came
for miles around and from far up in the
hills to attend the unveiling ceremonies.
Descendants OF Boone, Finley and others
who fought their way into the then new
country were present. Many OF them
were old enough to make their recollec-
tions of the struggles OF the pioneers
very interesting, and the stories which
they told add colonial flavor to the oc-
casion. The monument has four faces,
one for each OF the States through which
Boone passed, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia.
The task OF finding the trail was by no
means easy. In some places local pride
had served to keep the location oft alive,
but in North Carolina all trace had been
lost OF ii for over century. In an &C
count published in the New York Times
mention is made OF the work ola descen-
dant OF Boone who furnished a mass OF
family tradition from which the first cew
was obtained An old resident OF west
ern North Carolina was then sent over
the supposed route to collect data and
stories from the older residents and these
in turn were compared with material
furnished by the government. In this
way the trail was traced and then the
markers were placed. They are simple
tablets placed on powders. The data
on the tablets is 1869, which was chosen
as about the middle date between 176O,
when Boone went on his first hunting trip
to Kentucky, and ITS, when he led his
first band OF settlers into the new country.
The trail leads through picturesque
country over mountains and alongStreamS,
and through many parts of the less set
tied portions of the four States. Along
parts OF it highways have been con-
structed and prosperous towns thrive,
thus providing diversions for those who
wish to travel over the hundreds OF miles
traversed by Boone. The sites OF the
old forts have long since been appropri-
ately marked, and also the grave OF
Boone's eldest son, James, has lately
been discovered and marked. In short,
the Boone trail is now pretty well es-
tablished throughout its length.

The Last Chance Gone.

A traveller from the North, walking
through the mountains OF North Carolina.
came on cabin that gave unusual evil
dence OF rural industry. says Harper's
Magazine. Although if was only ten
O'Clock in the morning, the traveller de-
cided TO stop and ask TOR refreshment,
since he might not come on anything so
promising for many miles.
A tall, apparently ill-fed woman came
TO the door. She looked at the traveller
in amazement, and seemed TO be resent
full when he made known his wants.
We've et, she said in a reproschful
tone.
Toms gone 10 town TO fetch corn
meal"
The traveller suggested a glass of milk.
Again the woman shook her head, while
her saIlow visage heightened. "Tom
went and forgot TO milk the COW. He
won't be back till evenin'."
That seemed to be the travellers op-
ponunity. both TO show his good nature
and TO obtain glass OF milk.
"I'd be gald TO milk her for you" he
offered. 81 was brought up on farm"
Again the woman shookher head. aye
CANT, stranger" And this time her re-
sentiment was tinged with futile regret.
"Tom rid the COW TO town."

NEW VOL. 50-No. "a.
Mans Decreasing Height.

In recent years anatomists have shown
in practical way that the height OF man
or woman can be increased to consid-
erable extent by appliances for stretching.
These extensions, however, have only
been of inches or fractions OF an inch,
and giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be developed by artificial means.
Il was French savant named Henrlon,
who, 20 years ago, gave to the world
authoritative statements as to the height
of Adam and Eve. He said that the father
of the race was l23 feet inches high and
Eve llS feet 9 inches. lie noted that
from the creation of these enlarged edi-
tons OF humanity degeneration had been
rapid, that Noah was only twenty-seven,
Abraham only twenty, and Moses but
thirteen feet in height.
According to this French authority II
the Christian dispensation had not arrest
ed this decrease, man, by this time, 200
years ago, would have been mere mi
croscopic object, and we may conclude
that by our time he would not have been
at all. Monsieur Henrion did not give
any explanation as to how he arrived al
his estimate OF the height otihese ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on record
is that concerning an immense skeleton
said 10 have been found in Sicily which
measured 300 feet in length. This story,
however, carries its own refutaiion as il
is said that found beside this giant was
the walking stick which was thirty feet
long and thick as a telegraph pole. A
clever calculator made the estimate that
walking stick only thirty feet in length
for man measured 300 feet would be as
ridiculous as one OF seven inches Tor
man OF ordinary stature.

In The Ocean Four Miles Down.

While soundings have been taken to
depth of six miles, no traces OF life have
been found much below the four-mile
level, oceanographers believe that at the
bottom of the great ocean abyss, say al
the five or six-mile levels, no life exists
or can exist.
Because OF The immense pressure? ?
No, because OF the lack Of food. You
might think that food would sink to the
bottom, since some OF the deepest areas
are near the shores, notably north OF the
West Indies, east OF Japan, south OF New
foundIand, and, deepest of all, east of the
island OF Guam. Undoubtedly there is
an abundant food supply on the surface
OF the ocean at these points, yet none of
it in sinking will reach the bottom, for
the reason that whatever is not devoured
on its way down by creatures OF the sea
will be dissolved in the lower levels,
where the solubility OF water is greatly
increased, owing TO the increased pressure.
Not only is it believed that practically all
animal and vegetable matter is dissolved
at depth Of five or six miles, but the
softer bones of animals are probably dis
solved, leaving only the very hardest
ones to reach the bottom. Thus the
trawl-nets bring up from great depths
sharks teeth and the ear-bones Of whales,
which are extremely hard, but very rare
ly other bones.

How To Manage Ear Trouble.

The ears are subject TO infection and
injury both from within and without, but
they are generally invaded through the
nasal passages. Sometimes Inflammation
spreads from those passages to the ears,
and sometimes il is carried or forced there
by improper treatment. For example,
most persons when attacked by cold in
the head blow the nose with quite unnec-
essary violence. That often drives the
germs that are causing the trouble back
into The tubes that lead TO the ears. In
fact, blowing the nose violently during
the acute stages OF cold only serves TO
increase the congestion already present
without by any means giving the relief it
seems TO promise.
Much harm can also be done by a wrong
use OF the nasal douche. II is true that
the nasal passages must be kept clean.
but that can be done by very gentle
methods. People who suffer from ere
curing" colds should remember that loo
energetic attacks upon the local trouble
may only drive il back 10 the ears through
the EuStachian tubes.
Sometimes the ears OF children are at
tackled from the outside by conscientious
and weIl-meaning mothers. II is aston
ishing to learn what an apparently Sensi-
bic woman will do by way OF cleaning the
inside of child's ear, and what pre-
posterous instruments she willuse. Healthy
ears do not need Swinging, and only per-
sons who are expert in the operation
should perform il on ears that are not in
good condition Hard instruments for
cleaning out the ear should never be used.
There are little spoons contrived for this
purpose in the shops, but no one should
buy them; neither should mothers or
nurses think OF twisting towel into
spike, or wrapping it round match, and
Herewith exploring a child's ear. Ear
wax is normal secretion; il is found, in
all healthy ears, and is not something 10
be pursued as if il were disgrace. You
can always keep the ears properly clean
by using towel dipped in warm wafer
and wrapped round finger.
When a small child gets foreign body
into the ear, gentle Swinging with warm
water will often remove it, and that should
always be tried before any other method.
The attempt 10 extract the object forcibly
may do much injury. No one except an
experienced physician or nurse should
think OF doing that.

Ancient Carriers of Messages.

Ii was the custom of the courers of the
middle ages to carry silver beads in their
mouths to lessen thirst In certain dis
tricts of India which are not traversed by
railways the ancient coufers still survive
and carry mails from village TO village.
In the jungle districts they carry bells
about their necks to frighten away tigers.
The American Indians had their swift
runners, who carried messages in times
OF war between allied tribes or from the
warriors in hostile territory 10 their native
villages, and extraordinary tales are told
of their swiftness and endurance.
The running messenger in Europe was
succeeded by the mounted messenger,
and as civilization progressed systems Of
couriers were established, which slowly
evolved into the modern system OF posts.

Everyone Needs A Hobby.

What IS your hobby2 If you haven't
one, you ought n have. says the Milwau-
kee Journal. Everyone needs some oc-
cupation, something which he enjoys be-
sides his regular employment. Some
need hobby that takes them 10 fields
and open air. Others have more need Of
something for the quiet OF home, OF den
or library. One man takes special in
terest in animals, birds or flowers. II
may be the study OF moths or butterflies.
We know man whose occupation was
sedentary and kept him 10 his chair all
day, who had a work bench and made
beautiful tables, chair, cabinets and other
furniture for his home.
A club in Milwaukee is making study
of fishes, snails and other live things TO
be found in the water. Their aquariumS
furnish hours OF delightful observation.
They show you fish OF the most beauti-
full colors, others so small one can scarce
ly see them without magnifying glass.
There are mushroom hunters and students

The Lineman In The Tropics.

The life OF telegraph or telephone
linenan in the tropics is not easy, for a
service that uses overhead wires is sub
ject TO constant damage both from wild
animals and from wild men. The animal
culpritS are OF all sizes, from elephants
and giraffes down to white ants and Spi-
ders. The giraffes OF East Africa, when
they find their progress checked by tele-
graph line, do not know enough to draw
back or "duck" their heads, but push on
and carry the wires with them, and some
times the poles, too. Teak is the only
wood that certain kinds OF ants respect,
so instrument cases have to be made Of
that or OF metal. Bees make nests in tele-
phone instruments, and spiders attach
their webs to the porcelain inSulatorS.
When the webs become coated with dew,
the insulation is for the time being de-
stroyed. In Argentina, spiders breed in
millions in the pampas grass. AS soon
as the egg matches, the young spider spins
single web, which the wind carries
across the country. Wells OF webs some
times stretch from pole to pole and cover
all the wires. Beetles have been known
TO bore holes in lead cable and lay their
eggs in them In the region round Vic
toria Nyanza, the natives tear down the
wire to use for personal adornment. Be-
cause of the many annoyances that are
inseparable from an overhead system in
the tropics, the wireless system has su-
perseded it in many places.

Beqgar Dies Rich.

One OF the most amazing stories OF a
miser millionaire has been unfolded by
the death of citizen OF Madrid, Spain,
who recently died at the age OF 90. Al
though he and his wife went about the
streets in rags, the man, Romagosa, lett
$33,650,0O0. He was thus one OF the
richest if not the richest man in all Spain.
His eccentricties caused him TO be
counted as the poorest ofthe poor. How
he avaded the vigilance OF the curious
never will be known, for when in Paris,
he lived as a grandee, renting a superb
mansion in the Champs de Elysees, which
he eventually purchased for the vast sum
of 81, 100000.
But the old mans will is almost as ex-
traordinary as his course OF living. He
had vast sums of money invested in
banks, bonds, estates in Spain, France,
Cuba, Argentina, Chile, as well as de-
posts at the Bank of France, in London
and at several Spanish banks. Yet he
practically ignored his wife and mother,
who lived with him, and left the whole
OF his fortune TO the bishops of Madrid,
Barcelona and Beunos AYres.
All he left his wife was the usage o
his houses and land properties, which is
TO 60 to the three bishops after her death.
To add to the strangeness of the wholef
affair, his wife has disappeared.
