have seen a native of India smile. j

the whole idea of the Burmese, as a

one. The men are sportsmen, and If
they are lucky enough to make money
they spend it. Their chief amusements
are horse, or, rather, pony, racing, cock
fighting and gambling, and they will
back their fancy with their last coin.
On the other hand, they are lazy and
indolent and as soldiers or policemen
utterly untrustworthy, but brave and
fearless of death.-From "And That

A considerable mingling of social
classes occurs in our hill village, writes
a correspondent, owing to the town
folks practice of renting summer cot
tages in our midst and living tnere
neighborly with the real working peo-
pie for whom the places were built. In
one such case the resident from town
was an unmarried lady; the genuine"
cottager next door had husband who,
to put it mildly, was VIGOROUSLY no
blessing to her. Making a friendly call
one day the wife was greatly impressed
by the pleasant air of comfort and
well being achieved in a cottage other
wise the duplicate of her own. She
looked round with a mildly envious air
and earnestly remarked, on a little
sigh, ZEE, Miss x, you ought to be
'appy-no husband nor nothin'." MAN

Mimics Among Birds.

Birds, from the ostrich down, are
initiative. The ostrich, where he lives
alone, is silent, but in a country where
lions abound he rOars. Why? Be
cause for centuries, admiring the lions
roar, he gradually learned to roar him
self. Among small birds, buntings i'm
itate pipits, and greenfnches initiate
yellowhammers. They seek their food
in the winter together, and they grad
ually steal each others calls. The jay
is an Unsuitable imitator. Some jays
will include in their repertOry not only
the cries of songs of other birds, but
also the bleat Of the lamb and the
neigh of a horse. Even the nightingale
initiates. In a nightingale's song it is
sometimes quite easy to detect phrases
he has borrowed from other birds.

Electric Current.

One Of the simplest electrical devices
known to the average person is the in
candescent electric lamp. According to
the Electrical Experimental, If we
could obtain a sufficient number of
these lamps of the twenty watt size
and string them along a wire line from
the earth to the moon, the lamps be-
ing fifteen inches apart, the amount of
current necessary to light them would
then represent the amount of power
generated by all the dynamos in the
United States, which in their entirety
have an output of about 20.350O00,O00
watts per hour.
For another illustration we might
stretch a line of two conductors fifteen
times around the earth and place on
this 1000 watt lamps, 100 feet apart.
The power required to light this gigan-
tic line would also represent the cleo
trical energy produced by these ever
humming dynamOs.

San Franoisoo,s Natural Harbor.

San Francisco has the advantage of
a natural deep water harbor. The
bay of San Francisco is one of the few
very great harbors of the world. OF
those otherwise so situated as to be-
come great commercial ports it is per-
haps comparable only with the har-
bors Of Sydney and Rio Janeiro. There
are seaports whose commerce enor-
mously, for the time being, exceeds
thatsof San Francisco, but for the most
part their harbors are very costly
works of art. The Lord never made
them.
Harbors can be made anywhere on
a seacoast with money enough, and
where the situation of the country de-
mands a harbor where none naturally
is the man made harbor has to serve
the purpose, and 1t really does very
well.
But such harbors require continual
tinkering, and as the city grows more
land must be dug out, and the money
is often hard to get Happy is the
commercial people which Is so fortu-
nate as to live by one of the great nat
ural harbors of the world.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

The Moose Party, which grew to
some proportions in 1912 and the fol-
lowing years, is now a thing of the
past. 1t seems that its life depended
upon Theodore Roosevelt. and when
he refused TO again try to lead the
party to the white house, upon its
earnest solicitation, there was nothing
to do but give up the ghost. So the
party has gone to pieces, some to go
over to the democrats while others
will go to the support of Hughes.
