FLIGHT Of q Swarm Of Msteors.

FLIGHT Of Swarm Of Mstsors.
4 swarm of meteOrs that appeared
on Feb. 8, 1913, was regarded At the
time a very remarkable on account Of
the great distance it was traced TN the
earth's atmosphere. It was first seen
In Saskatchewan, western Canada, and
seemed to be travelling southeasterly,
rs it was also reported from Bermuda.
From the additional records supplied
by seamen w. F. Denning, the English
authority on meteors. has concluded
that it continued In view during ct
least $500 miles Of its fight. Az the
visible stream could at no time have
been more than about 100 miles high,
it must have followed the earth's
curvature, and the curious idea has
been advanced by Garyin J. Burns that
it was really captured by the earth as
group of Notwithstanding. The
meteors may thus have passed around
the globe several times before reach
ing the surface. 1t is supposed that
the orbit Of the stream nearly coincid-
ed with that Of the earth and that con-
sequently the velocity of fall through
our atmosphere was small.

LILLIAN N0RDICA
First American SINGER to Sing
Lohenfrin

In the little farm Of Pennington,
Maine, Lillian Norton was born. La
ter she became known to the world
as Madame Lillian Nordica. She
studied at the Boston Conservatory
of Music, and later in Italy, where
her debut at Brescia in La Ira
viata" brought her contracts for the
Imperial Opera at st. Petersburg and
Paris. She was the first American
prima donna to sing Wagnerian
roles at Bayreuth, the musical shrine
of the great composer. She rendered
Elsa in 'Lohengrin" in 1894. When
the accompanist struck the opening
chords of Handels angels Ever
Bright and Fair" the song that COM
manded the heart power of singer
and composer, the song that is sung
again and again to enraptured audit
ors, it was a signal for the audience
to settle down for a rare treat.
Both the Bridal Chorus from 10
hengrin' and Handel's angels Ever

Eoolino thu Enemy.

Long Ben, a stage driver in tho
with soft voice and gen.
tie disposition, but with several notch
es on the handle of his revolver, is not
given to seeking trouble.
Not very long ago he brought in a
200 pound salesman and, the roads
being unusually rough, landed both him
and his trunk in rather bad repair.
The more the travelling man thought
Of it the madden he got, and that night,
when he discovered how his trunk had
been wrecked, his wrath boiled over,
and he announced that in the morning
he would beat that stage driver into
unconscious ugliness. He got up early
and paced the Office of the hotel, await
ing the arrival of Long Ben.
One of the stage drivers friends slip
ped over to the Office of the livery sta

him of.
"Say, Ben, that fire eating pickle
salesman you brought in last night Is
over there laying for you and is going
to knock your alleged head OF as soon

Rubbing his cheek speculatively, he

Perhaps it Is hypercritical Of u.
Riding In a limousine is a magnificent
and awful thing, and how should any
plain mortal be expected to endure it
without amendment to his soul? Still,

protest. Can no human being, even
though to the limousine born, learn to
ride in q closed car and avoid the clos

Of expression SO alien to normal Amer

HOME FROM TRIP.

Mrs A. P. Henrionnet returned

While in Bend, Mrs. Henrionnet was
the guest of her son, ROLAND Hen

the same line of business in that city.
In Los Angeles she visited her daugh-
ter, Ruby, and other relatives and

Spelling the Tobacco.

Winchcombe st. Peter, in Gloucester

in England toward the end Of the six

said to have derived considerable profit
from it until the trade was placed I'M

Diary on Sept. 10. 1867, concerning the
coming of a cousin Of his to town pro-

A japanese Composing Room.

A Japanese Composing Room.
The most interesting department Of
Japanese printing plant is the compos-
ing room. Great cases of type of all
sizes extend the whole length of the
mammoth room. As the Chinese and
japanese characters used in printing
Office run far into the tens of thou
sands, the life of the compOsitOr must
be a continual search for the letter he
desires to use.
The compositors were scufling around
the aisles of the room hunting for these
characters and all singing at the tops
of their voices, which apparently caus-
ed them to forget the terrors' of their
work. There seemed to be hundreds of
them, and the din was deafening.
After the proof is finally corrected
the forms are made up, quite as they
are in an American newspaper office,
stereotyped and sent down to big cylin-
der presses.-Archie Bell in World Out

EutiIitv Of Aroum0nts.


As no men are created equal, all ar
guments, If INDUCED in, must be car
ried on either with superior persons or
inferior persons. Viewed in this way,
the utter futility Of all arguments be-
comes apparent at once.
First, it is futile, Of course, to carry
on an argument with a superior per-
son, because, being superior, he will
have such complete contempt for your
opinions that he either will not listen
to you at all or else he will listen with
q patronizing smile and Immediately
dismiss from his mind what you have
to say as not worth consideration.
It is easily futile to argue with an
inferior person. for If you have any
thing to argue about worth the time
Of q man of your standing and mental
capacity, then it is absurd to waste
talk upon an inferior being who will
not be able to appreciate it. Thus are
disputatious people isolated from the
world, and there is no help for it.
