Language Of Elaus.

There is no international language
of flags established by law but by com.
mon consent flags of a certain color
are used for certain purposes. All over
the world a yellow flag is a signal of
contagious disease. A ship hoists II
to denote that there are some on board
suffering from such disease and 1t re-
mains hOisted until she has received
quarantine. The white flag is univer-
sally used as flag of truce. The
black flag was formerly the symbol of
piracy and now In some countries it is
flown after an execution is performed
to indicate that the requirements OF
the law have been carried out. Other
features of flag language are that n
flag flying at half mast is universal
sign of mourning, and when ship has
to make u sign of distress she does II
by raising the national ensign reversed.
or upside down. Even this can be EN-.
phesized BY knotting the flag in the
middle to Indicate great distress and
imminent danger.

SNAIL is WELL PROTECTED
Withdraws Into Shell at Hint Of Dan.
ger and Tightly Closes the
Only Opening.

Snails are most interesting crea.
lures and are easily observed, espe-
cially II one has an. aquarium. The
big Japanese water snail, crawling up
the side of the glass, shows all its
parts, and they are virtually the same
In all species. An article in the Chill
dren's Museum News describes it as
follows:
"Above the fiat, gray foot is a snout
at the end of which we sec mouth
opening and closing deliberately like
a winking eye, except that 1t opens
laterally instead of up and down. A
ribbOnlike tongue darts in and out to
rasp away particles of plant by means
of the tiny, horny points all over it.
The eyes are on the little bumps which
you see at the base of the horns or
tentacles, one on each side of the snout.
The tubelike opening ON one side
above the foot forms a passageway for
the water to enter the gills through
which this snail breathes.
"The foot and head of the snail are
the only parts of the body we can see,
for the rest of 1t is wound about
spirally within the coils of the shell.
Now IL we tap on the glass of the
aquarium the snail suddenly drops to
the bottom of the tank, pulling in its
tentacles. its mouth, and finally its
foot, and tightly closes the opening to
Its shell by means of round lid or.
operculum, Of the same substance as
the shell and fastened to the back of
the foot, The fish will bite at thnt

MATERIALS IN BIRDS NESTS
Feather Folk Use Greater Variety Of
Things In Building Homes Than
10 Supposed. !,

Perhaps when you have said that
birds nests are made of leaves, twigs,
grass, string, moss, feathers, hair or
mud you think you have exhausted the
list Of building materials used by the
feathered folk. But to examine even
one nest carefully will prove that your
list is by no means complete.
For example, a nest of gray vireo
was found to be fastened to the
bough Of the tree by means of strips
Of inner bark. Of spider and cocoon
silk, and of milkweed stalk. The body
Of the nest yielded the following in
ventOry: White and yellow birch
bark, cobwebs, blue bottle fly, spider
egg silk tufts, slender roots, bits Of
pith, leaf skeletons from which all but
the ribs and veins had been cut away,
pine needles, old cococns of the tus-
sock moth. grass, caterpillar hairs.
dandelion seeds, moss and feathers. At
the bottom of the nest, where great
strength was needed, was a piece Of
gray paper from the nest of the paper
making hornets and interviewer with
all these were bits Of newspaper.
Other vireo nests have yielded as
many as hundred black spiny cater
pillar skins, half yard Of lace edg-
Ing, and even small snake skins.

HOW WEALTH GIVES COURAGE
Man Who Has 4 Few Dollars In the
Bank IL More Efficient Than One
Who 10 PenniIess.

There is this to be said about wealth !:
It gives courage to the owner. Pow
erty makes towards Of us all. 1.-The
man who is suffering with fear" says
a writer, because he does not know
where the next dollar IL coming from,
Is In no condition to earn or to at
: tract dollars. Fear always makes a
man think he is weak, a nobody. 1t
always pictures the worst; sees no
light ahead"
We hear a great deal these days
about efficiency-and about inen-
cheney. The fellow who has saved few
dollars. and has them In the bank or
where he cnn put his hand upon them.
is more efficient than the fellow who is
penniless, declares the Dayton News.
Start out to find job with never a
dollar in your pocket. You'll have
hard time. You appear ut a disad-
vantage when you approach business
man. You feel your dependence. You
have cOwardly air about you-an
inefficient air. You realize that you
will have to accept anything that is Of
fered. You are in no position to look
the business man In the face and tell
him your qualifications. Want is at
your back, causing you to cringe. =
But with money in your pockets you
assume a different attitude. You real
ize that you are, to that extent, indie
pendent. You meet the business man
more nearly upon an equal footing.
You are more courageous, more self
assertive, more efficient. You know
that you are not compelled to accept
the first Job offered you. You can
discuss wages, and contracts, and con-
ditions Of employment, If you are not
"broke." So, II for no other reason,
the young man should seek first Of all
to have bank account, to have some
thing right in the beginning. 1t Is even
more important than to save some
thing toward the end.
