ONE OF SHORTEST REvoLrs
Russia's Successful Revolution Of
Brief Duration When Compared
to Many Others.

For Its size and significance the Rus
sian revolution was one of the quickest
and least sanguinary on record. Six
days practically saw the end of It,
whereas more than three years elapsed
between the storming of the Bastillc
and the proclamation of the French re-
public, the London Observer states. 1t
took six days Of barricade fighting in
1880 to persuade Charles X to abdi-
cate; but Louis Philippe fed in 1S4s
after only two, though the subsequent
state Of siege lasted four months.
England was ten years in establish
ing a commonwealth and five weeks
sufficed to convince James II that
French soil was healthier for him than
English. The Italian wars Of liberia
ton occupied most Of 1860; and the
insurrection in which the Greeks de-
posed king Otto in 1862 was over in ID
days. The quickest revolution on rec
ord was that. Of Portugal, in 1910,
which was over in day.

AS he was speaking some troopers

Bad for Peaceful Animals.

War times, 1t seems, are bad for
peace-loving animals, domestic and
wild alike. Everyone knows how
horses and mules have been killed by
hundreds Of thousands. The world
understands that unusual demands
have been made upon the fiocks and
herds available for food. 1t is known
everywhere that campaigns in widely
different parts of the earth have de-
stroyed practically all living things in
wide areas. But these are by no
means all the losses sustained.
War prices have made 1t hard for
many families to buy food for pet ami.
mails. Some, have necessarily been
given up for that reason. More will
suffer the same fate. Many farmers
have reduced their live stock because
1t costs too much to feed cattle sheep
and swine, even at the present market
price for beef, mutton and pork. Old
and infirm horses have been killed in
large numbers to cut off the expense
Of feeding them.

sPoILING A sToRY's EFFECT
Better-to-Do Relatives Have a Diseon-

When you are telling something,
don't you hate for the listener to urge
you to come to the point at oncei
Especially Is this true in case where
you have managed something very
skillfully, and wish, in telling about
it, to give credit where credit is due.
AS a rule, better-tO-dO relatives are
impatient, and don't seem to care to
hear your whole story, writes Claude
Callan in the Fort Worth Star-Tele
gram.
Years ago a better-to-do sent us to
a neighbor's house to borrow buck
saw. We were proud to do this for
him, and when we returned we left
the saw in the yard, stepped into the
house and said to Better: swell,
when got over there found that he
wasn't at home. His wife wouldn't
let the saw go, so went down to the
river, where he was, fishing. He said
he didn't think that 1t was at home.
He thought he had lent 1t to his broth
er, and So"
"Oh, blank it." said Better, 'did you

A Geological Discovery.

The minuteness and perfect state Of
preservation of some of the remains
found in the rocks of organisms which
lived untold millions of years ago is
beautifully shown by the researches of
Prof. f. w. Oliver on an archaic type
of seeds discovered in the lower coal
measures of Lancashire. These seeds
are only about one-fifth of an inch long.
but under the microscope their integu-
ment is seen to possess ten ribs, which
project like little arms from the top
of the nucleus. Many pollen cells We're
discovered and these have been Sec
toned, and what appears to be fossil
sperms, occurring in pairs in each pol
len cell, have been detected. The
plants that bore these seeds have not

Here's to Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness Of the heart,
the leaves Of youth, the privilege of
purity, the echo Of innocence, the
treasure of the humble. the wealth of
the poor, the head Of the cup Of pleas
ure, exclaims writer in the New
York Herald. 1t dispels detection,
banishes blues and mangles melan-
choly, for it's the foe of woe, the de-
strOyer Of depression, the enemy Of
grief; it is what makes kings envy
peasants, plutocrats envy the poor, the
guilty envy the innocent; it's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the rip
pie on the waters delight, the CLINT
of the gold of gladness; without it
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear and
smiles would shrivel, for it's glow of
clean conscience, the voice of pure
soul, the birth cry Of mirth, the swan
song of sadness.

SPIRE is PLATED WITH GOLD
Shwe Daeon, the Buddhist Temple Of
Rangoon, In Burma, One Of
Sights In Eastern World.

The Shwe Dagon is the wonderful
Buddhist temple in Rangoon In Bur-
ma. 1t is one of the best-known sights
of the eastern world and one of the
best worth seeing. Lying as it does on
the main road of oriental tourist trav-
el. 1t is we'll known to Europeans and
Americans, but it has the charm Of a
wonder ever new, the triple interest
of legend. snnctity and strange beauty
Long before the ship reaches Ran
COON. as the propeller strains In the
muddy Irawaddy, you get your first
glimpse of the Shwe Dagon. Its gold
en- spire can be seen like a thin flame
rejecting the sun from many miles
away. The tower that CLEANS so ar
IDENTIFY is golden in Il more than meta
phorical sense. 1t Is plated with
beaten gold. The Buddhists who wor-
ship ut the Shwe Dagon are among
the richest In the East. 1t was for-
merly their custom to cover the tower
with gold leaf. but this had to be re-
newed from time to time with the
erection of unsightly scaffolding. So
those in charge of the temple decided
to do n permanent job-and they have
sheathed 100 feet of tower with plates
Of beaten gold.
A full description of the temple
would read like page from Arabian
Nights describing some plutocratic
caliph's palace in a fabulous land.
The tower Is studded with great
rubies, and the rings from which
lanyle hundreds of little Sweet-toned
bells are solid gold. In shape the
Shwe Dagon resembles a huge bell,
with the long, slim tower for handle.
There is nothing like it to be seen
in the architecture of the West.

Army Worm Pest.

Constant vigilance to combat or pre-
vent the ravages of the army worm is
the advice given to farmers by the de
partment of agriculture. There are
several caterpillars known as army
worms, but che one which does the
most damage Is known as the "true
army worm" This worm eats away all
the tender portions of grasses and
plants and with the nearly full grown
caterpillars their greed and capacity
for food are almost incredible. They
devastate entire fields and even whole
areas of corn, wheat, oats, rye and.
grass. This pest usually appears in
the fields very suddenly, the moths
flying in great numbers before the
wind for many miles and alighting in
a body to deposit their eggs at some
place favorable for the development of
the worms. This accounts for the un-
heralded appearance of the army
worms in regions far removed from
any source of infestatiOn. ~
