spitzberasn Is the Only Land In tho
 World Without Them.
 One of the most amazing things In natural history is the way in which beetles have triumphed in the struggle for existence, says the Popular Science Monthly. Of all creatures they are by far the most numerous, no fewer than 10000 distinct species having been ldeutifed-three times the number of backboned animals.
 Beetles are found practically every wherein the frost bound tracts of Iceland and in the hot desert sands of Africa, on the highest mountains, un- der the ground and as fossil In the deepest strata, on land and in water, on plants, among stones and in wood and earth and even In the very Craters of volcanoes.
 But there Is one place where no beetle has yet been found. It is the inhOspi- table land of Spitzbergen, to the north of Russia. Here are found the man. mals, birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, a few insects of varied species and many spiders, but not a single beetle.
 While other insects have succeeded in some way in migrating from the mainland, the beetles have apparently been unable to cross the wide, icy waters.

PARENTS MEET
 WITH TEACHERS

On Friday evening the Parent Teacher Association held it's first meeting of the year with about fifty in attendance. Miss Benthien was unanimously elected! secretary for the year to succeed Miss Keenanl who for two years had SO ably filled that office After the read ing of the minutes, of the last meeting, the reports of the treas urer and the heads of the various standing committees, there follow ed a snort, spirited business meet in., in which plans and policies for the year were discussed.
 IL was voted to buy a supply Of disnes for the use of the associa- tiUn at it's social meetings; also it was voted for the association again +c subscribe for the maga- zines for the use of the children in school.
 4 short program followed the busQress meeting. Misses Ruth Pedersen and Vivian Talbot de- lishteI the audience with a piano duet; MT. W. c. Blanchard sang g. solo always most pleasing number on any program. In be- half # the Association MT. Stev- enson, ill a few appropriate, well chosen remarks, expressing the re gre ct the Association at Miss Keenan's resignation, and their appreciation Of her work in start ing aud carrying on the Parent TpachCr movement, introduced and warmly welcomed to. our midst the new principal, Miss Benthien. Miss Benthien responded by relating some of he many experiences in school work in various places and lands. While lunch was being served. Misses Cook, Brown and Baroel. added a unique number in a UkaleIe trio, to the accOmpani- mem of which all joined in sing ing many of our old familiar folk songs.
 The girls Of the eighth grade domestic science class, served a dainty lunch of tea-biscuits and ginger cakes which they had made, and +oa and coffee.
 The enthusiastic spirit of the evening seems to mean that the Parent Teacher AssOcia ton had talk en its place as one of the perman- ell. organizations of the city. The plan of the organization now is to make thru the P. T. A, something of a social center of the school.

HIS GREATEST GAME.
The Climax of Mathewson's Fame Rs
 Baseball Pitcher,


 We always have believed, that the greatest game that Mathewson ever pitched was the eighth and deciding contest between Boston and New York in the worlds series of 1912. He should have shut the Red Sox out in that battle, but his team faltered and broke behind him, and Boston finally won in ten innings by score of to 2.
 Matty had been the unanimous choice of his comrades. He felt that it might be the last worlds series game he ever would pitch, and he put into his work all the cunning and skill that the years had given him. In those ten innings he gave everything he had, and 1t was a marvellous exhibition of twirling.
 When he entered the box his step was springy and his head held high He looked almost boyish. When he left the mound after the game 1t was with bent head and tagging feet, but the Boston crowd stood up in the stands and cheered, not their team, which had just won the worlds cham plonshlp, but the defeated Mathewson.
 Hard headed ball players had tears on their cheeks as they ran to Matty to throw their arms across his shoulders, and McGraw hurried across to meet him from the bench, saying: Tt wasn't your fault Matty. You pitched the greatest game I ever saw."-New York World,

SeXen Belle.

Everybody who knows anything about nautical matters understands the methods of keeping time at sea-eight bells every four hours. From to in the evening is the second dogwatch, but on British ships seven bells Chalf past ? of the second dogwatch are never struck. All other ships, even the American, strike these bells. During the Napoleonic wars there was a great mutiny in the British navy. The crews of the fleets lying at Spithead and the Nore agreed to rise simultaneously against their officers. The signal agreed upon was seven bells of the second dogwatch. The mutiny actually began at the arranged time, but failed, the ringleaders being executed. Ever since then seven bells of the second dOgwatch has never been struck on British ships, naval or mercantile.

When Parasols Beqan.

Parasols when they first came into use must have been cumbersome. Henri Estenne, writing in 157S, speaks of a parasol as capable generally of sheltering four persons from the sun. And when they diminished in circum- ference the material still remained of the heaviest. Red velvet parasols, with heavy gold fringes, were carried by ladies of fashion i'll the days of Louis XIV. At that time it was possl- ble when crossing a bridge in Paris to hire a parasol at one end and deposit It at the other, the charge for the accommodation being a sou. Under the regency fashion went to the other extreme. Mems parasols folded Into the shape of three cornered hat and could thus be carried elegantly under the arm. Ladies' parasols were hinged so that they could slip into the pocket, for ladies had pockets then.-LOndon Spectator.
