I've been to the roof of building That is eight or nine stories they
 say, Aud I've looked off over Milwaukee Where Lake Michigan stretches
 away. I've ridden in taxies and street cars Till walking two blocks brings a
 frCwn; But I'm tired of the noise of the
 city And loLg for my own little town. I am longing to skate on the river And go for walk, don't ye ken? I've not ridden a horse since I came here.
 And I want to see skagway again. I thought we had too many noun tains.
 I've discovered one thing since last fall: To have mountains so close you can touch them Better is than to see none at all. Yes-I miss many things in Wiscon- sin,
 But I think what I miss most of all Arc the girls of our own Chilkat Camp Fire And the meetings, and honors and While this trip is the finest thing ever,

SECRET OF FRENCH CULTURE
Vibrating Balance Between Head and Heart at Top Speed, Is Deduction
 of Magazine Writer.

Intensely alive, is the chief impress sion one has of the French, writes John Galsworthy in the Atlantic. They balance between head and heart at top speed in a sort of electric and eternal see-saw. It is this perpetual quick change which gives them, 1t seems to me, their special grip on actuality {; they never fly into the cloud regions of theories and dreams; their heads have not time before their hearts have inter-. vened, their hearts not time before their heads cry, "Holdt" They appre- Rend both worlds, but with such rapid attenuation that they surrender to neither.
 The secret of French culture lies in this vibrating balance: from quick marriage of mind, and heart, reason and sense, in the French nature, all the clear created forms of French life. arise, forms recognized as forms with definite utility attached. Controlled expression Is the result of action and reaction. Controlled expression is the essence of culture, because it alone makes a sufficiently clear appeal in q world which Is itself the result of the incalculable interplay of complement taTy or dual laws and forces.
 French culture is near to the real heart of things, because 1t has a sort of quick sanity that never loses it's way or, when 1t does, very rapidly re- covers the middle of the road.

NEW YoRK's BURIED WEALTH
Millions Of Dollars Worth of Copper Lead and Other Products De- l posted Beneath Streets.

Under the streets of New York city gre deposits of copper. lead and other valuable products far exceeding. in quantity and value any mine yet dis covered throughout the world. En- gineers and scientists estimate the amount of copper to be found in the bOroughs of Manhattan and Bronx at 30,000,O00 pounds, valued approximate ly at $7,5OO,OOO. The lead is estimated at 60,O00,O00 pounds, worth something like S4,S00,O0O.
 This discovery was announced at the electrical exposition at Grand Central palace, where the Consolidated TeIe- graph and Electric Subway company had large exhibit showing a fuT-size cross section of one of the city's prin- cipal thOrOughfares. In this mamnioth cross section of earth and rock the veins of copper and of lead could be easily traced. Of course, the veins of copper are the wires carrying the elec-i trio current for lighting, heating, power and communication to every nook and corner of the great metropolis, whflei the lead is used to protect the cables.
 The street cross section at the cleo. trical exposition was 70 feet long by 26 feet deep. It showed the location of the street railway conduits and rails,i electric service substation, distributing station, condults, splicing chambers,i with their unique water draining sys- tems and other interesting things that, lay beneath the streets of New York and mark the advanced stage Oe its civilization. It took crew of % men 3 week to construct tEas: Inf tinss exAahit.

PRINCESS IS CARS MANAGER
EudOxla, Eldest Daughter of Ruler Of Bulgaria, Said to Be cIeVerest
 oS Family.

Princess Fudoxia, the eldest daugh- ter of the czar of Bulgaria, is said to be the cleverest member of FerdInand's family. She manages the Sofia palace, receives ministers and .envOys and apologies to them for Ferdinand's mysterious absences; runs FerdInand's farm at Vitosch when Ferdinand is not hiding there directs his business spec ulatiOns and his enormous private wealth, and, in particular, runs his big land-development scheme around Chas- kovo, near the Turkish frontier.
 Eudoxia is bIack-eyed, lively and pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares to be married quickly, and cynics add that Ferdinand chose the German side instead of the allies because Germany has vast supplies of bridegrooms of royal, princely and ducal blood. In Sofia, EudOxin is known as ''Balkanska Dieva"-the Maid of the Balkans. In summer she makes solitary tours in the hills, puts up in shepherds huts, and shocks Ferdinand, who is a timid man with a sharp distrust of his sub- jects, and a faith, inherited from thousand years of Bourbon ancestors, that women, like men, of royal blood are three times sacred.

Elephants Can't Jump.

There is one thing no one has ever seen an elephant do, either in circus or out of it, and that is to jump" said a-keeper in the zoo.
 ''The fact is an elephant cannot jump. Because of his great weight he cannot take all four feet off the ground at once. He can make 100 yard dash at the rate of twenty miles an hour, which is going some, but if he was pursuing an enemy and came to a deep ditch eight feet across he would have to stop short, because it is too wide for him to step 1t. and he is unable to jump. An elephant Is great coward. He will have a fit if a rabbit runs be- tween his feet. He has tremendous strength, but he doesn't know it."

TrNinn fo Do rhnir RiA

While nearly every woman is trying to do her bit in some way, there are at least a hundred thousand other fair ones who believe they can serve their country by breaking into the movies, notes New York critic. That Is why every motlOn-pictuFe office is crowded with applicants and why motion-pic- ture managers are busy men these days of frantic filmdOm. It requires much patience, nerve and sometimes a set of burglars tools to enable would-be actress to reach a manager, however, but an Overdressed woman of rather ripe years gushed her way past the array of office boys and clerks into the sanctum of the man who hires and fires. "I wish to become a movie ac- tress," she announced. 'T feel that I have within me the makings of great impersonator of the silent drama" ''Have you ever had any experience, madam?" asked the manager. Miss, if you please" simpered the applicant. ''No, haven't any experience. My face is my fortune" "Well, you need not worry about the income tax, if that's the case" grunted the manager. ''Don't slam the door"

FearIess Japanese Official.

Of all the eccentric characters in Japan, one of the most famous and distinguished is probably Viscount Dr. InaiIro Taiiri, president of the i'm perial board of audit. He f1atters nO- body, not excepting himself, says a correspondent, and is feared by all who are not sincere. The late Prince Katsura was once scoTded by him, and not long ago Baron Shibusawa waxed hot in anger at public meeting as he rose to refute the charges of conner cial corruption which Viscount Tajirl had made against Japan's business world at large. He is Outspoken when he thinks the occasion demands out spOkenneSs. Fearlessness of public opinion or rldicule is dramatically ex- emplified in the very simple and unpre- tentious life that he is leading. His food is of the simplest variety. He

Snails perceive the odor of many sub- stances. but only when not far away. In order to prove this it is necessary merely to dip glass rod in strongly smelling substance and bring it near the large tentacles of snail in mo- tion. If it is put close to these horns the tentacles are violently drawn back. As the animal perceiyes the odor it changes it's course. Snails also smell by means of their skin Contact Is not necessary, for the mere vicinity of n perfume causes an indentation of the skin
