PiAInemon of Argentina,

The gaucho, the Argentine plains
man, sprang from the Spaniard and
Indian. He was a nomad. His life
OF frugality, activity and hazard ia
vored the fttest and fercest. He knew
no law save that of might. He was
Independent, daring, familiar with vio-
lence and careless Of life. Had he
through a Spanish parent some Moor
ish strain, he represented in the pam
pas his ancestors who had galloped
over the plains of Arabia. In Argen-
tna's wars Of independence, 1906,
the gaucho played an important part
under General San Martin and Gen
eral Belgrano. In the civil wars that
followed he fought under captains of
more or less authority, and in the ty-
rant Rosas, 183O-52, he became the
dictator over the lives and fortunes Of
the higher classes Of society. Both in
Argentine and Chilean history the ty-
rant now belongs to vanished past

: MusssIs on tho Sea Bed.

The mussePs natural home is at the
bottom Of the sea, never in very deep
water and yet deep enough to be near
ly always covered at any state Of the
tide. For preference it likes a bed Of
sand or smooth, fine gravel. To this
bed it attaches itself by the ligature-
like growth on the shell known as the
byssus, and thus, standing on end with
it's, point to the bottom of the sea, it
forms itself In dense mass so close
" packed together that not an inch
Of the sea floor is visible. As new
ones come they do not extend the
ground space occupied, but range
themselves one on top Of another in
layers, all firmly fixed together by a
living cord Of connection. In this po-
sition they are exposed to many dan
gers. A heavy storm may break the
mass to pieces and dispense its con-
st1tuents far and wide. Even If they
escape this 1t is certain that bottom
layers will be crushed out Of exist
ence.

ternational Association Of Machinists,
local. No. 30, by the Max AIMS Ma
chine Co. of Fairfield, is assigned for

This suit resulted from trouble over
the strike at the factory in the sum-

the strikers had picnets in the vicin-
fly Of the plant who insulted and an
noyed those who desired to work. It
was also alleged that the wives and
children of the employees were threat
ened. These charges were denied by
the strikers.
The company claims to have suf-
fered great financial loss because of
the picketing, declaring customers
were lost and that some orders had

time ago obtained an injunction re-
straining the strikers from maintain

Although it Is an old belief that the
stars can be seen In daylight from the
bottom Of a deep mine, well, chimney
or other shaft, the Rev. w. F. A. Eli
son maintains that 1t has no founda-
ton In fact. Writing in the Journal
of the British Astronomical Associa-
ton, Mr.. Ellison says that the invisi-
bility OF the stays in the daytime is
caused by the glare Of the atmosphere
illuminated by the rays Of the sun and
that there is no reason why a chimney
or other shaft should sensibly dinlin-
ish the glare. Even with a telescope
the visibility of stars and planets iii
the daytime depends greatly upon their
color. Red or yellow stars are much
more easily seen than white ones, and
the telescope must be very carefully
focused or even a bright star will be
invisible in the bright sky. The plan
cts Venus and Mercury, On the other
hand, can be seen better in daylight
than in the dark, but most Of the plan
cts are less visible in daylight than the
stars.
