WONDERS OF THE WORLD"

The famous "Seven Wonders" are
nothing like what they were, because
modern opinion differs from ancient
as to what is wonder.
A London scientific society lately
sent out thousand letters to thous-
and scientists, selected from all lead
ing countries of the world, asking
them the seven things that are now
the greatest marvels.
After tabulating the replies it was
found that wireless telegraphy stands
first and the telephone second. Next
in order are radium, the aeroplane,
spectrum analysis, the X-ray, and the
Panama Canal. The last is the only
one that at all resembles the things
the ancients considered as the "seven
wonders of the world"

BABY WEEK WILL
BE OBSERVED ALL OVER
THE UNITED STATES

Washington, D. G. (Special)-Plans
for the nationwide Baby Week pro-
posed by the General Federation of
Women's Clubs for March to IL
have extended beyond the United
States. A woman's club in the Brit
ish West Indies has just written to
the Federal Children's Bureau for in
formation Al out what Baby Week
means and expects to initiate local
campaign, Several Canadians have
been herd from too, including the
Saskatchewan commissioner of pub
health.
The Philippines will take part in
the celebration if the plan of Ma
Mia woman's club is carried out. BY
special request the Children's Bureau
has sent it's Baby Week bulletin to
Valdez and Nome in Alaska and to
two of the Indian reservations in
Western States,
The local plans for Baby Week
vary in the 2029 communities from
which the Children's bureau has had
inquiries. For instance, Wisconsin
has initiated a statewide campaign
in which especial emphasis is placed
on adequate nursing care and instruc-
tion for prospective mothers. In Ne
braska, child welfare exhibit is be-
ing prepared by the women's clubs
of Omaha and Lincoln which will
travel about among the clubs through
out the State after the Baby Week
in those two cities is over. One town
in Maryland which is going to have
a birth registration day announces
that an enterprising merchant has
promised to give a tooth brush to
every mother who goes to the City
Hall to find out whether her baby's
birth is registered! Another COM
munity is having competition Off
the cleverest window plan for Baby
Week publicity.

THE RuEEALo.

The Buffalo, whose right name II
Bison, is the only well-known Ameri-
can animal except the Goat who still
wears whiskers. The Buffalo Is re-
lated to the Kak "a mild-mannered boz
vine which furnishes the motive pow
er for Asiatic jitney buses. The Yak
is of great economic value when alive,
and when dead his tail still wags in
the form of fly switzerland there
are some flies to swat in Asia, be-
lieve us! The only thing that is left
of the Buffalo, so to speak, is tale.
Fifty years ago, when boards were a
mark of masculine distinction and
family portraits hung in the parlor.
when the plush-covered album was a
form of popular diversion, the Buffalo
paved the western plains in millions.
But with the passing of physiognomic
drapery the Buffalo went down and
out, until, like the Bull Moose, there
is nothing left of his former greatness
save few live samples in captivity
seums.
The trouble with the Buffalo was
that he had enough size and speed,
but he lacked direction. His head was
big, but there was nothing of value in
side of it. When the mighty hunter
sneaked up on a band OF six Buffalo
and picked off one of them with his
trusty rifle, the other five would stick
around and look foolish, until the
whole seXtet were ready to be made
into Buffalo robes. This behavior was
called courage, and maybe it was; but
the fellow who doesn't know when to
beat it is made of stuff that undertake
ers delight in and cemetery associa-
tions pay dividends on. The Buffalo
has always been regarded as heroic
figure, but all he ever got for his cour-
age was to have village in New York
named for him and get his picture on
a five-cent nickel. Courage, my son,
is fine thing; but remember that it
is pleasanter TO be live politician
with a large income than a dead
statesman with large monument.
Don't be Buffalo.-From Judge.

POTASH AND FOOD PRICES

Is Alaska going to furnish to the
farmers Of the United States the much
needed potash for fertilizer, the sup
ply of which is now cut off because
of the war? The potash supply Of
the world comes principally from the
famous Strassfurt potash mines of
Germany.
The secretary of agriculture is
predicting that the lack of this vital
fertilizer material will mean poorer
crops and higher priced food.
And yet the United States has a
vast resource of potash in its bed of
kelp-a kind of giant seaweed, which
grows in great abundance along the
Pacific coast, and of which there are
vast beds in Alaskan waters. The
governor of Alaska says that if the
water power resources of the castal
region were utilized in connection
with the harvesting of these great
kelp beds for the manufacture of pot
ash, the United States would become
independent of any foreign source of
potash fertilizer.

friends ghost stories. But suddenly
the Kerosene lamp on the table was
blown out. Bray Immediately relight-
ed it; upon examination he found that
it could not have been put out by
draught Of air entering through the
window for the window was closed,
and, besides, there was no air stirring
outside. The lamp was extinguisbed
again. Bray stuck match to relight
it, hut the match was blown out, and
he felt warm human breath strike
his hand. At last he succeeded in re-
lighting the lamp and keep it burn.
ing.
Now a new phenomenon succeeded
the lamp episode. There was a cradle
in the room, the property of the his
toric family that had owned the place.
This cradle of its own accord began
to rock. There was no air stirring,
and no human hand could be seen on
the cradle. Bray walked his three
girls to witness this phenomenon. The
girls were greatly terrified, especially
when strange noises began to sound
through the old house.
Suddenly the door of the room op-
ened. The father was sure that he had
locked it securely, but it was not long
before it opened again. The little
girls also witnessed this occurrence.
This door and others continued to be
opened and closed by unseen visitants
all the night. although Bray was sure
that he had locked them all before
night.
About midnight Bray said he heard
the men of the old family in an up.
stairs room playing cards and drink
ing. At least sounds proceeded from
above as from n hilarious crowd en-.
gagged in drinking and gambling;
laughter and curses seemed to float
out upon the air.
The upshot of it all was that Mr.
Bray and his little girls remained
awake all night, listening to the
strange sounds. and witnessina
strange sights. Bray was practical
man, and had great common sense
but the next morning he hooked his
teams and hauled his family and fur
hay he, left; he, himself, would not &c
back for it, and he could not hire q
team and driver TO undertake the
proposition. The foodstuff remained
there and rotted.
Since Mr.. Bray's experience-whicl
p1, L.
farm has been without tenant. This
is a fact that prominent and reliable
people will certify to, and the only
possible objection to the property Il
that it has the reputation Of being
haunted by its former owners.

HAUNTED TosAco FARM
LONG SINCE ABANDONED.
Once Home of Wealthy Southerners
But Now Stunned by Whites
and Blacks Alike.

We hear stories these days of
haunted houses and places-most Of
which we disbelieve. In fact most
people can not stretch their credulity
enough to take in any eerie tale of
ghost or hobgoblin. The narrator OF
this story knows that it is the charac-
teristic of many educated and cultur.
cd persons to attribute to ignorance
and superstition all things that trans
eend nature and reason. But the facts
In this case can be vouched for by
responsible and unusually intelligent
parties; no jury would think of dis.
counting their testimony.
In western North Carolina one OF
the finest tobacco plantations in the
state lies uncultivated and untenant-
ed. A practical farmer who would
move on the place and work it could
acquire a competency in a few years.
But in spite of the most liberal in.
ducements on the part of the owners
q tenant can not be secured. And this,
remember. Is one Of the finest farms
in the world-famed tobacco section.
The reason why tenant cannot be
found is that the plantation has the
reputation of being haunted, and it
has borne this reputation for quar-
ter of century.
The ante-bellum owners of the prop.
erty were southern aristocrats. The
war swept away their wealth as en-
braced in money and slaves, but left
them the old plantation; this they
held on to tenaciously, for it had been
in their family for a century. And in
dying the aristocratic owners must
have put curse upon it in order that
1t might not be of any use to any who
might acquire it. Some believe that
the spirits of the former proprictors
stand gyard over the old family es-
tate. The fact remains that since the
death of the last member of the an
cient family in which the estate re-
mained so long the plantation has not
been successfully occupied.
The colored people We're the first to
ind out that the property was haunt.

among this simple folk of the hair.
raising experiences that some of their
people had had in trying to live on
the plantation. The white people did
not believe these stories. and attrib-
uted them to superstition on the part
of the negroes. But they changed
their opinion after several white fam
flies had tried it, and had had to give
1t up as bad job.
The last white farmer who tried TO
occupy the place was a Mr.. Bray. He
was a widower with three little girls.
His friends tried to dissuade him from
moving on the haunted place, but
Bray only laughed at'their fears, say.
ing that he was not superstitious.
Bray hired several wagons and had
his household goods and foodstuff for
his stock moved on 10 the place. This
operation was finished by nightfall
Bray and his little girls had supper;
then placed their furniture in posi-
tion for the night. This occupied them
until about 10 o'clock, when the little
girls retired.

estimated to have cost $10,000,000 in
damage, and at least eight lives.
