SCOUTS MUST "RAISE GRUB"

The gardening season of 1913 is
here, the war is still on, and America
is sending more men across the ocean
to prevent the enemy reaching u glo-
rious country, says Chief Grub Scout
Hal B. Fullerton.
America must feed these men, and
feed them well. They are our boys
who are risking everything. even their
lives, to save u country, our homes,
from the horrible fate of each and
every country in Europe that u cruel
enemy has overrun.
That means more work, bigger work,
better work for the boy scouts than the
splendid work they did last year. Get
busy keep busy!
This year every scout is asked to be
responsible for securing one adult to
agree to work with him on the scouts
individual garden or on the troop gar
den or on the local council garden. The
adult might be a scouts father, his
brother or his sisters best fellow, his
uncle or, indeed, any man who will
faithfully stick to the job until the
crops are harvested.

MIND SUPREME OVER PAIN
Notable Instances When Agony Was
Subdued by Determined Exercise
of the Power of the Will.

It is said that even the most acute
physical pain can be overcome by a
determined effort of the will.
DR.. Edward H. Clarke suffered from
a fatal malady, which produced the
most agonizing pain and yet he could
determinately withdraw his conscious
ness, so to speak, from that pain by
fixing it upon another object, that OBJ
ject being the working out of his own
neutral train of thought in the eompo-
sition Of a book.
This is well known to have been
the case also with regard to Sir Wal
ter Scott, who, during a very severe
and painful Illness, dictated the Bride
of LammermOOr." The most remark
able fact about the composition of this
work was that, after his recovery, he
entirely forgot all that he had done,
the book on its publication coming to
him as an entirely ley work, with
which he had nothing whatever to do.
He only remembered the general out
line of the story upon which he had
composed his novel this he had heard
in early life, and it remained with
him but of the working up of this
story into the novel, while he lay on
his sofa %contending with parOxysms
Of agony, he had no recollection.

Measuring Thought.

Interesting experiments in measuring
the action of the mind, or thought,
have been made by scientists. 1t takes
about two-fifths of a second to call
to mind the country in which a we'll
known town is situated, or the Ian
guage in which a family author wrote.
We can think of the name of the next
month in half the time we need to
think of the name of the last month.
It takes on an average One-third of a
second to add numbers containing one
digit, and half a second to multiply
them.
Such experiments give US wonderful
insight into the mind. Those used
to reckoning can add two to three in
less time than others; those familiar
with literature can remember more
quickly than others that Shakespeare
wrote "Hamlet." 1t takes longer to
mention a month when a season has
been given than to say to what month
a season belongs. The time taken up
10 choosing a motion can be measured
as well as the time occupied in per-
ceiving.

TURKS PR0FANE HOLY PLACE
Mount Sinai Disfigured by All Sorts of
Markings of Spots That Christians
Hold Sacred.

He must be an unimaginative man,
whatever his creed, who can ascend
Sinai without a thrill Of reverence.
Here was given the law that is in
scribed on the countless tablets of
half a world, the maxims that have
ruled much Of the lives of billions of
men and women for thousands Of
years. The barren grandeur Of the
peaks, the rocky difficulty of the as
cent, are pitched in the proper key.
Unfortunately, the Moslem rulers Of
the region have cluttered up the
neighbOrhood Of the mount itself with
all of childish legends and
authentic" relics. Orientally toler-
ant, they have not only accepted the
Jewish traditions Of the spot, which
have become a part of their great ri
val religion, Christianity; they have
added to them and Overlaid them with
all manner of crude superstition.
Thus they will show o the very
rock where the children Of Israel set
up the golden calf, and another COM
monplace bOwlder which is guaranteed
to be the one smitten by Moses when
the wandering Hebrews were thirsty.
Exhibit G is the rock on which Moses
broke the first tablets in his anger.
Then there is a garden with a chap
ell, ~inclosing the spot where Elijah was
fed by the raven A second chapel in
the garden is sacred to Moses. Near
by is a Moslem relic in the shape of a
rock which bears the footprint of Mo-
hammed's camel, a sort of a legendary
fossil. Even in a Christian monastery
this somewhat primitive insistence on
marking the concrete spot where re-
ligious history was made seems to per-
sist, for you will be shown an altar
which is said to be erected over the
site of the burning bush.

Bulb Culture once a Craze.

Bulb culture in Europe has had a
particularly interesting history. The
tulip, for instance, has been popular
in European gardens for about three
centuries, and prior to that time it
was cultivated for many centuries by
the Turks. Near the close of the six
teenth century the tulip was intro
duced into Holland and the popularity
of the plant increased so rapidly that
by 1884 it had become a craze. For a
number of years the widest specula-
ton prevailed in tulips and enormous
prices we're paid for rare bulbs. Five
hundred dollars was not an unusual
amount to pay for a choice tulip. and
such bulbs as the famous Semper Au-
gustus brought more than $4,000
apiece.

Mendelssohn was a head worker
in composition, in spite of the long
time he spent over bringing such works
as the Scotch and Italian symphonies,
some Of the overtures, and st. Paul
as near as possible to his ideals of
them. His friend, Edward Devrient,
tells us that it was Mendelssohn's
