Tiny Montenegro Has For Centuries

The Black mountain has been taken

ties Cetinje, town of 1000 souls
and one broad street, but boasting a
palace and a row Of Legations
whitewashed cottages sandwiched be-

greater part of the day, the ancient
Slavs called Lovcen the Black noun

as the Country of the Black Noun

HARD THING IS TO "RETuRN"
Many VIII Understand the Trials Of
Congressman In Taking Up HE
Old Profession.

In the American Magazine is an In
terview with member of the United
States house of representatives, who
tells of the almost impossible barriers
between him and his old profession,
the law.
After had been in congress a
couple of terms l decided that would
be happier and that my family would
be vastly better Off If l were back
home practicing my profession" he
said. $50 after the adjournment OF
congress / set out to rebuild my neg
lected law business
II was astonished at what job it
was. My practice was not merely run
down or temporarily absent. 1t was
gonel Now, had not yet become
topnatcher in my profession before
going to congress. In order to make
comfortable income / had not been
able to depend alone on the better
grade of legal business. but was still
obliged to do some of the more trivial
work such as every young lawyer is
glad to get. This class of business
had gone from me In my absence,
along with the rest. And it did not
come back, because of q reason that
had not thought of. During my term
in congress had come to be looked
upon as an important figure in the
community and everybody regarded
me as above such things as perform
ing legal services of trivial or minor
character. Thus / did not get the
small business and the big business
was being taken care of by other
lawyers who had been constantly on
the job"

STILL THE LAND OF GOLD
CALIFORNIA; Output Of the Precious,
Metal So Far Shows Little Sign
Of Prophesled Dlmlnutlon.

Careful estimates place the Cali.
fornia gold output for 1915 at fully
$2.200,000 more than the previous
year, when the total output was $780,
653.496. The yield will easily be tbs
largest in 80 years, and, with one ex-
ception. the largest in 81 years. So
California still remains the premier
gold-producing state in the Union.
Placer mining for gold. for years con.
sidered q decadent industry in Cali
fornia. has for the past Is years been
growing in Importance. until now the
placer mines are producing A per
cent Of the fetal gold yield, the other
66 per cent coming from deep mines.
This condition has been entirely
brought about by the dredging opera
lions, the gold dredges now producing
some SO per cent of the placer gold.
The present tendency is toward extern
sive yardage In dredging operations,
so the new machines are much larger
and more powerful than those built
formerly. 1t is considered probable
that for this reason the yield of
dredge-gold in California will continue
about the same for some years, even
though the old and smaller machines
discontinue operations. A gold, dredg-
or is now being built to dig 70 feet
below the water line. There was o
distinct revival in all kinds Of metal
mining in the state In 1913. particular
ly in gold mining. The dredgemen
have begun operations on tracts for
merly considered too small for this
class Of work; and numerous quartz
mines were reopened, while the older
ones were deepened with good results.

TURN TO STUDY OF FUTURE
Government Of france Considers
Plane to Send Young Men to
America for That Purpose.

Etienne Clementel. French minister
of commerce, has received favorably
suggestion made by Jules Bots that
the French government should create
fund for sending young men to
America to study the future" there,
as now young men are sent by the
government to Rome and to Athens to
study "the past" M. Bots said to
the minister that America could
teach France as much concerning or
ganization and methods of doing with
extreme efficiency everything con-
nected with practical life as the me-
MORALS of Rome and Athens taught
Frenchmen beautiful things of an
cient life. Europe could see in Amer
ica the germs of the future, and young
Europeans ought to go there for in
spection and inspiration. M. Clemen-
tai has considered the idea and will
recommend 1t to the chamber of COM
merce, which. he thinks, ought more
directly to be concerned than the gov
eminent. M. Bots says that those
Frenchmen who have visited America
have obtained there a largeness OF
view which they did not have before
and that he believes one effect of the
war will be to cause, Europeans, and
especially Frenchmen, to visit the
United States.

A stranger in city who has not &C

Building Great WarshIp.

The new dreadnaught California, to
be completed in February, will meas
ure 642 feet in length and for a few
months will be the largest craft in the
world. England is building one 800
feet long, which will probably be
launched next summer.
The California is the first American
naval vessel to be built with it's bow
curved aft below the water The bows
Of the older boats curved forward be
low the water, so that they formed
rams, which were formidable weapons
They are obsolete now because the
high power of the modern naval guns
makes it impossible for war vessels to
come close enough together to ram
each other.
The armature of the California is
thicker than that of any other boat in
the world. She will have a speed of 81
knots an hour and can carry 1,O56
men. The cost of the boat alone is
$7,0OO,00O, but her equipment of guns
and ammunition will increase the
value to $15,0OO,0O0

EARTHWoRM PLAYS AT NIGHT

Midnight is the favorite play houl
for earthworms. To catch q glimpse
Of them in the daytime. you'll have to
dig in the earth, which is their home
or watch for them after a heavy rain
when they can be found on top Of the
ground. But go out any warm night
with a lantern, lie close to the ground
on a lawn or terrace and you'll see
them in abundance. the Philadelphia

Probably you've regarded the earth.
worm merely as q good fish bait and
have never taken the trouble to learn
his habits. When he's proving around
at night he's usually enjoying feast
on decaying leaves. grasses or animal
matter. Before daybreak he's back
in the ground, burrowing his way in
search Of more food. His alimentary
canal extends from one tip Of his body
to the other, so it's little wonder he's
always hungry.
He has neither ears nor eyes, yet
he's sensitive to light and he knows
when night comes just as other crea-
lures with eyes. Another interesting
fact Is his method Of laying eggs. He
grows band around his body like
belt, in which he deposits the eggs.
Then he gradually works his way
through this belt until he slips it of,
when it closes up and forms capsule
to protect the eggs until they are
Matched. PIG
Vegetable growers sometimes regard
the earthworm as a nuisance. They
should be thankful, however, that
those Of North America are not so
large as those in South Africa, where
there are earthworms four and five
feet long and as thick as q mans I'm.
