Father Of English Poetry.

The first English bard 10 attain lost
Ing fame was Godfrey Chaucer. who
was born In London about 134O 1.-THE
father OF English poetry" was the
son of a vintner named John Chau
Ger and In his youth served the king
as soldier and was taken prisoner by
the French. The English king paid
$50 for his ransom. which was quite a
high price for a poet Chaucer's most
celebrated work, The Canterbury
Tales was written between 1873 and
400. 1t consists of series of tales
supposed to have been told by com
pany Of pilgrims to the shrine Of st.
Thomas a Beckett at Canterbury. and

Dawn and the Darkest Hour,

THE darkest hour is just before
dawn" Is an old English proverb which
expresses more POLITICALLY the homelier
adages. when things are at their
worst they soonest mend" When gale
IL highest boat Is highest" The long
est day will have an end" After q
storm comes calm" and finds an
equivalent in other languages, as in
French. by dint of going wrong all
will come rights" in Italian, I'll is the
eve OF WELL" In Persian, 1T is at the
narrOwest part of the defile that the
valley begins to open," and In Hebrew,
when the tale of bricks is doubled
Moses comes"
That the nights. as rule, are dark
est just before dawn Is doubtless true.
for the moon has then reached far on
to the western horizon, while the sun
u still below the eastern horizon.

Sound Waves.

Science says that the loudness of
sounds varies inyersely as the square
Of the distance. This Is merely another
way of saying that II you walk three
times as far away from the source OF
the sound as you were before its loud
ness will not be third what II was,
but ninth Of what 1t was. for nine Is
the square of three.
On the other hand, the density OF the
medium which conveys sound is very
important. On frosty night the air
Is dense. One consequence OF this is
that an automobile runs better be
cause the engine gets larger supplies
OF oxygen. Another result is that
sounds are heard more loudly How
ever, the report OF gun high up in
the mountains is like the sc und Of an
exploded flrecracker.

GOOD CROPS ON SALMON RIVER
BENCHES.

The ranches ON low lying benches
along the Salmon river where seeding
was done early in the spring or where
irrigation has been possible have the
largest crops in the history of that sec
ton. The grain crops on the Large
ranch are said to have been so heavy
that the machines would hardly handle
them. Even the high benches are in
excellent condition. DIR. w. A. Foskett
