Our Own M1ropies.n

Only at one place in the United
States Is there real tropical vegeta-
tion, says Popular Science Monthly.
Florida and California have what is
called "sub-troplcal' vegetation. In
the midst of desert in the extreme
southern part of California Is a true
oasis. The oasis, Palm Springs, lies
$50 feet below the sea level. So hot
Is 1t there that there is riot of vege-
tation all the year round. Enormous
fig trees and mammoth grapefruit and
oranges are always to be had. The
lemons that grow there weigh two and
half pounds apiece. The RESPONSE
bllity for all this may be laid to beau
tiful little stream which is fed by the
Colorado river and which flows
through the oasis only to disappear
into the ground at It's end.

NEED FURNITURE IN GERMANY
Problem of Its Supply Has Added One
More to the Troubles Of the Gov
ernment.

The German government has 50 fnr
been unable to find any substitute for
furniture, and has not yet had the
temerity to ask its subjects to follow
the example of their Turkish allies
and sit on the floor. The result Is
scarcity that has caused secondhand
dealers to reap enormous profits.
A secondhand kitchen chair that
formerly cost about so cents now sells
for So. An old bedstead that used to
sell for So now brings $50. Second
hand dealers have secured the country
and old tables and chairs have been
brought from cellars and garrets, but
the demand still outruns the supply
and prices already 1000 per cent above
normal, threaten to go higher.
The problem Is likely to become
more acute as soon as the war ends.
Thousands of couples that married
when the men were called into the
army win wish to establish homes of
their own. The government has pro-
yided many houses In advance, but
these will be Of little use without
furniture.
Some urge that the government
make the same rule regarding second
hand furniture as Is now In force in
the old clothes trade; put the private
dealers out of business, fix lower prices
and make 1t crime for anyone to sell
the secondhand articles except to the
state.
A number Of capitalists and furni-
ture manufacturers have formed an
association to make new furniture and
sell 1t at four per cent above. cost on
the installment plan, requiring one
third of the purchase price as first pay
ment. The cost of new furniture, even
under this arrangement, Is almost pro-
hibltive, because of the scarcity Of ma
terials and the high wages Of labor.

PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARA
How the Great Lakes Joined In Their
Wondrous Leap Over the Fa-
nous Ridge.

In old, old times, on the highest
peak Of a great mountain, there dwelt
a hunter and his five sparkling daugh-
ters. Their lodge was of bright betula
bark and on clear days they could see
the distant ocean flashing like a silver
band. "Come out Come out" !" cried
the youngest daughter, the little Er.
"COme Su Come Hu Come Mi Come
Clal (The names stand in order for
Erie, Superior, Huron, Michigan and
st. Clair). Let us away to the sea,
where the foaming breakers roarP So
they left their lodge and leaped and
sang with happy hearts. Their robes
were of blue and chrys0lite green and
floated on the breeze. Their moccaslns
were of frozen water drops and their
wings Of painted wind. And they scam
pered and romped across the plain or
floated beneath the sky, or rushed past
valley and hill and field, singing and
shouting with glee. At last they came
to a precipice Of jagged rocks and
moss. "Alasl" cried Er, "what dread
full leapI But we have come so far
that we must go on or our father will
laugh at usl SO come Su Come Hu T!
Come Mi Come Cla and follow me y
So over the steep they sprang and
floated down on their painted wings.
They leaped and they sang like happy
hearted birds. Then the little Er cried: :
"Let us up and down the steep again !"
And up and down the five maids
skipped and laughed at the sport and
foam and called 1t Niagara Falls. And
today, through the rainbow mist, you
may see their robes of blue and chryso-
lite green and their painted wings and
their twinkling feet, as the five play
in the waterfall.--New York Evening
Post.

TAUGHT INSECTS TO THINK
Remarkable Act Of Scientist That
Hardly Seems Worth the Time
1t Must Have Taken.

John w. Coghlin has demonstrated
what patience and perseverance win
accomplish, and has also exploded the
old-time theory that 1t was impossible
to teach insects to understand the hui
man voice and action. Some time since
he had the good fortune 10 discover a
hill Of Madagascar neuroptera, or
marching ants, says the Pittsburgh
Press. They were about the size Of
the common June bug and Of dirty
brown color, and he says that they
are numerous in udla and South At
rica--that he can account for finding
hill Of them In Maine by being
brought there on some vessel, Mr..
Coghlin invited some of his friends to
his camp at Patterns Pond, where he
amused them by putting the neurop-
tereans Gas he called them) through q
course of sprouts. The way he caused
the little army to 90 through their
evolutions was a marvel to all pres
emf. Marching by twos and by fours,
over incllnes and bridges made OF
toothpicks, with the regularity Of
trained troops, he finally caused them
to break ranks by lighting a match
before the leaders, He says that arti-
fetal light will confuse them; there
fore they can be made to perform only
In daylight. -

Stock Market Today
Quiet And Narrow

New York, July 2O-The Evening
Sun financial review today said:
Foday's short session of the stock
market was quiet and narrow, but its
tone was firm and at times strong. The
opening prices were steady and, while
all the active stocks advanced fraction
ally in the early trading, the best gains
were ~ points by New Haven; three
points by American Sumatra. The mar
iket, however, was almost entirely in
professional hands and the commission
houses were deserted.
The market continued dull and firm,
but featureless in the late trading.

The Bank that does things for you
SINKING OF THE TUSCANIA

The American people were greatly
shocked and saddened, to hear of the
torpedoeing of the transport Tuscania
which was conveying American troops
to France. This outrage is the first
one that has been the means of losing
any Of our good American soldiers.
They are SO precious to US that we
don't feel that we can afford to lose
one Of them, no matter who he may
be, in any such treacherous and unwar-
like manner, as the blowing up of the
Tuscania. Men who meet each other
on the battle field in honorable COM
bat and lose their lives are recognized
as heroes who had given their lives for
their country, but when an enemy at
tacks you from beneath the sea in
the darkness of the night giving you
no opportunity to protect or defend
yourself, such warfare ought not to be
the ambition of any nation.
While our loss is great and deeply
mourned, this act on the part of Ger
many will be the means Of arousing
the American soldiers and citizens to
such future action, that will bring its
7wn penalty. Men or nations cannot
afford to be so cowardIy and treacher-
Gus without bringing on its just re-
ward. The first shock of grief and sad
ness is now replaced by a firm deter
as-nation to win this war, whatever
may be the cost. The American blood
is at fever heat, determined to repay.
Tine will bring its own reward.
