Sappho.

Sappho's fragments are redolent OF
flowers; her woven verse, "rich-red
chlamys" In the sunshine, has a silver
sheen In the moonlight. We hear the
full-throated song Of the "herald Of
the spring, the nightingale" ;" the breeze
moves the apple boughs. the wind
shakes the oak trees. Her illusions to
the '.hyacinths. darkening the ground
when trampled under foot of shep-
herds ;" the fine. soft bloom of grass,
trodden by the tender feet of Cretan
women as they dance" or the golden
pulse growing on the shore'-all these
seem inevitable to one who has seen
the acres Of bright flowers that carpet
the islands of the nearby littOral Of the
Asian coast. In her Lesbian
orchards. the sweet quince-apple is still
left hanging SOLITARY on the topmost
bough upon its very end" and there
Is heard "cool murmuring through ap-
pie boughs while slumber flOateth
down from quivering leaves."-Francis

ALASKA HAS GIGANTIC CLANS
"Razor" 6lvalves That Attain q Length
Of light inches Are Plentiful In
Northern Waters.

Any new source of food supply Is i'm
portant In these days. and the govern
ment fisheries bureau is greatly de-
lighted at the discovery Of the vast and
hitherto unknown beds Of clans off
the coast Of central Alaska, not far
from Cordova. One bed is 60 miles
long and from three to five miles wide.
The clans are quite different from
those common In our Eastern markets.
says the Philadelphia Ledger. They
are "razor clams"-a kind Of bivalve
that derives its name, appropriately
descriptive, from its likeness In shape
to razor.
razor clans Of related species are
rather plentifully found (though not
great beds Of them) in Long Island
sound and elsewhere along the Allan
tic coast. Nobody ever thinks Of eat
ing them. yet they are delicious.
The variety represented on the Alas.
kan coast Is Of larger size. common
ly eight inches long, and is so good
to eat that during the last two years
great quantities have been put up In
cans for market-the meats" that Is
to say. 1t promises a fishery produc-
tive OF much excellent food. Indeed,
there is no other shellfish on the Pa
cific coast that compares with the ra-
zor clam as a delicacy for the table.

Cherish Your Friends.

Have you good friend? OF course
you have, every one has friends, but
every one does not hold the friend
ships they make. Friendship Is too
rare and sacred treasure lightly to
be thrown away. And yet many peo-
pie are not careful to retain their
friends. Some lose them through In
attention, failing to maintain those lit
tie amenities, cOurtesies and kind
nesses which cost SO little. and yet
are hooks Of steel to grapple and hold
our friends. Some drop old friends
for new ones. Some take offense cas-
lily at imagined sights or .neglects and
ruthlessly cut the most sacred ties.
Some become impatient Of little
faults, and discard even truest friend
ships. Some are Incapable of any
deep or permanent affection, and fly
from friendship to friendship like
birds from bough to bough, but make
no nest for their hearts In any. There
are a great many ways Of losing
friends. But when we have once
taken them into our lives we should
cherish them as rarest jewels. If
sights are given, let them be over
looked. If MISUNDERSTANDING arise,
let them be quickly set right.

SOME CREDIT DUE INSECTS
Ants Proved to Have Had Part in the
Glory Of Discovery Of Hidden
Precious Metals.

To the immortals in the hall of fame
Of mining, including the patient burro,
who discovered the silver In the Occur
d'Alenes, and the veteran mule re-
sponsible for the location of the Sill
yer King mine, in Arizona, together
with the busy little hen with nuggets
in her crop. and the gray goose with
its gullet full Of gold sand, must be
added another representative OF the
animal kingdom. In an interesting
book, by John Nave. an English min
eralogist, recounting travel observa-
tions in Brazil, made In 1910, is record
ed the discovery of gold In one Of the
then important districts In the state of
Minas Geraes, In which the busy little
ants played important parts. He says:
"SOme negroes employed in clearing
the lands broke up an ant hill Of con-
siderable size, when, upon laying 1t
open to the air. for the purpose Of de-
stroying or dispensing the insects, large
grains Of gold were found" Future
historians Of mining will please take
note of the above and distribute the
credit Of glory of the discovery Of the
worlds precious minerals so that the
insect kingdom shall have Its Dues

Zunl Runners,

A short time ago the tribe of the
Zunis held their great annual ceremo-
NAL feasts and dances at their pueblo
in western New Mexico. For almost
the first time q number Of tourists
penetrated the 40 miles that lie be-
tween the pueblo and the railroad to
witness the ceremonies, and as re-
suit the Zunis are beginning to be
known to fame. Long familiar to stu
dents OF ethnology, their peculiar tai
ents are quite unknown to the general
public.
The Zuni Indians are probably the
greatest runners the world ever has
seen. Their feats in this direction are
such that any man who would try to
recount them all would inevitably lose
his reputation for veracity. But in
looking at the lean brown boy who will
run down q wild horse or a deer and
hardly lose his breath over 1t, one
must remember that the lad has not
only been trained to run from the
time he could first stand on his little
feet without tumbling down, but his
training really began thousand years
ago. He comes of tribe that has
specialized In running since long before
Columbus was born.-Chicago News.

An examination Of the withered
leaves of the autumn foliage at the
time Of their turning red shows that
they contain more sugar and less
starch than in midsummer. Leaves of
evergreens, however. lose their red
tints with the return of the warm sea-
son, and reassume their green color.
In these plants. e., the holly and
ivy-the sugar Of the leaf is trans
formed into starch In springtime.
From these observations two infer
ences can be drawn-frst. that the red
coloring substances are probably Of
the nature of the glucoses, being in
most cases compounds Of tannic sub
stances with sugar; second. the chief
physical conditions for the formation
Of the red color are sunshine, which,
on the one hand, enhances the assimi
lation and production Of sugar, and, on
the other hand, quickens the chemical
process that leads to the formation Of
the coloring matter, and, furthermore,
low temperature. which prevents the
Transformation Of the sugar into
starch. In other words, the red tints
of autumn are the direct product Of
the meteorological conditions prevail
ing during that season.. e., sunshine
and low temperature.

BUILT FOR SHALLOW WATER
Peculiar Marine Institution on New
England Coast Was Known In
1642 as the Camel.

In the year 1912 a queer marine in
stitution made its appearance in Nan
tucket and bore the name of camel.
These camels were really huge floating
dry docks for carrying ships over the
bar, where the depth of water had
been gradually decreasing since 1880.
Being hat-bOttOmed the camelS could
float in water very much shallower
than loaded ship required. They
were like two long, large boxes float
ing sid. by side and held together at
the ends by large iron chains.
The outer sides were almost. t.straight
up and down, but the inner sides were
curved, making when the two sections
were drawn together, an interior basin
just the shape Of the bottom of q
ship.
The plan was for the camels to be
separated far enough to allow the
ships to be hauled into the basin be-
tween the two sections, then to be
drawn and held fastened together by
the chains, holding the ship between
them, SO that the camels and the ship
could then be tOwed over the shallow
places in the channel to the wharf.

SEES LITTLE IN ALHAMbRA
Writer Says Famous Building Ex-
presses Mere Beauty. Without Any
Sense of Power or Vioor.

The Alhambra is on the shoulder Of
mountain. 1t overloOks the town,
Bart Kennedy writes In the Wide
World. 1t was built by the Moors. and
take 1t that 1t was built overlooking
the town for the usual reason. The
ruling Moors lived therein and they
wished to be TN a position to give the
nonruling Moors "what for" when they
became too critical. There is lot Of
human nature in ruling people just as
there is In ruled people. A beautiful
place, this Alhambra. But to me its
architecture expressed decadence and
weakness. There was nothing strong
or massive about it. Whether q race
expresses truly its character In archi-
lecture or not is not for me to say. To
be able to give a reliable opinion as to
this would necessitate the living of q
life that lasted through a couple OF
thousand years. But certainly the Al
hambra did not suggest power and
vigor. Beauty. yes, and also fancy.
but nothing more.
But on the Cuesta de los Muertos
'(the hill of the dead), which was out
side the actual palace Of the Alham-
bra, were three massive square towers.
They expressed strength. In them had
nved-centuries before-the Moham-
medan soldiers Of the guard. These
towers impressed me and often went
to see them In the moonlight, for then

FIND CITY TRAFFIC PROBLEM
Authorities Have Hard Task Finding
Ways and Means Of Doing
Away With Congestion.

The busiest street traffic point In
the world is where an expert would
guess from a map of the metropolis,
the New York World remarks. Central
park splits Manhattan; as the north.
western section is larger than the
northeastern the busiest point neces-
sarily is Columbus circle, where Dep
uty Commissioner Harriss finds that
1920 vehicles passed In ten-hour
day. as compared with 28,735 at the
Ritz corner of Piccadilly, London, in
II hours In 1914.
No other New York point quite
comes up to London's maximum; but
the sum of II busy corners In each
city gives 274,3O5 vehicles In II hours
give an impression Of greater conges-
ton than Columbus circle, because
there is at that point room enough to
use the circulating system of regulat-
ing traffic, impossible at most cross.
ings.
Up to certain point busy street
corners are matter of pride. showing
business activity and wealth OF pleas
ure cars. Then they become a prob
lem. Since the city must grow. there
is but one thing to do with congested
traffic: Scatter It.
For economy and efficiency the ad-
ministration of the city should be CEN
tralized. Its provisioning and its In
dustries. Its parks and boulevards for
pleasure driving, Its factories and
steamship wharves must be decentral-
lied, scattered among the boroughs, If
traffic delays are not to become intol-
cradle. City zoning plans. new mar
kets. new wharves, new and broad ave-
nues are all as necessary as police
regulations to keep the activities of
great city from being blocked.

CLEVERNESS OF POLAR BEAR
Almost Impossible to Catch the AMI.
nal In Any Sort Of Trap That
Can Be Devised,

According to the stories told by arc
tic explorers and whalers, polar bears
like many other animals of the far
North that have hard time finding
food-show an unusual reasoning fac
ulty, says Peoples Home Journal.
A whaler tells Of planning to cap
ture polar bear by means Of slip
moose arranged about bait. The
moose caught one of the bears claws,
but the animal worked itself loose and
carried away the bait. The sailor set
the moose again. but this time the bear
pushed the rope away before ventur-
Ing near the bait. The third time the
sailor covered the moose with snow,
but the bear scraped about until he
found the rope and again dragged it to
one side. The fourth time the sailor
put the bait in the bottom of hole so
the bear would have to crawl partly
into 1t. Then he put the moose entire
ly around the hole and covered it with
snow. This did not deceive the bear,
however, as the animal carefully un-
covered the rope, knocked 1t aside and
carried off the bait Then the sailor
gave up.
Another story tells Of polar bears
cleverness In catching seal. The
seal had climbed through hole in the
Ice. but was keeping near the edge In
order to be able to plunge In at the
approach Of danger. The bear saw the
seal from distance and knew that
there was no chance to steal across the
ice and attack Its prey. Accordingly
the bear entered the water through an
other hole considerable distance
away. swan under the ice to the hole
through which the seal had emerged
and seized the luckless animal, which
naturally was taken entirely by sur
prise.

NOT WISE TO GO HUNGRY
Writer Critlcizes the "No-Breakfast"
Fad Which Still Retains q Hold
on Some People.

A few years ago someone started a
boom for the breakfastless day as con-
ducive to longevity. I know persons
who have clung stubbornly to this alb
surdity, Meredith Nicholson writes In
the Yale Review. The despicable habit
contributes to domestic unsOciability
and is, I am convinced by my own ex-
periments, detrimental to health. The
chief business Of the world Is trans
acted in the morning hours. and am
reluctant to believe that 1t Is most
successfully done on empty stomachs.
Fasting as spiritual discipline Is, Of
course, quite another thing, but fast
ing by tired business man under med
ical compulsion can hardly be lifted
to the plane of things spiritual. To
delete breakfast from the days pro-
gram Is q sheer cowardice. con-
fession of invalidism which Is well
calculated to reduce the powers Of
resistance. The man who begins the
day with prescription that sets him
apart from his neighbors may ven
ture into the open jauntily, persuad-
ing himself that his abstinence proves
his superior qualities; but in his heart.
to say nothing Of his stomach. he
knows that he has been guilty Of a
sneakiag evasion. II he were a nor
NAL, healthy being he would not be

less. Early rising. a prompt response
to the breakfast bell, joyous break
ing Of the nights fast, is a rite not to
be despised In civilized homes.

In Learned Boston.

A modest advertisement In q Boston
paper announces that If you use q GER

diluvian ants or any other household
pest cease their obreptitious invasion
Of your premises"
Personally we had no idea that ants
were OF such ancient lineage, but per-
haps there are antediluvian ants and
others. Anyway, It would appear that
Noah carried pair of ants aboard the
Ark. and we would Ike to know what
s he did 1t for.
As much as we dislike ants, however,
Z 1t seems little too much to call them
obreptitious In their conduct. They
are probably carrying on In life ac-
cording to their best lights, and we
ought to absolve them of fraudulent
intent or of strategy that .is deliberate

How lanuuaae Crow.

'Cad" and ''fad" were at first only
localisms. struggling for existence and
getting slowly into use sporadically In
England. until at last they achieved q
peaceful penetration into the United
States then they ceased to be mere
Criticisms; they won recognition into
standard English. A like fate has be-
fallen "bOss" and "bOom," the first q
localism Of New York (descended
from the days when the Empire city
Was New Amsterdam), and the second
spontaneous creation Of the lumber
camps of Michigan. In time these
two words We're In common use all
over the United States; they were
then merely Americanislns and after
a while they made their way into the
British empire. until now they bid
fair to be lifted into standard Eng
