1T WAS HIS PROUDEST DAY
Farmer Giles Visit to His Sailor Son
Was Great Event In His
Life.

The proudest day in old Farmer
Giles life had dawned. Dressed in
his Sunday best. he took the train TO
Portsmouth to visit his sailor son.
And. although the train journey
was his first, its excitements paled
before the visions of the huge float

Dor. ....... ...... ....... ..... .... ....
Timidly he approached the side OF
the gigantic waterway leviathan
which had his son on board. and. as
he took hold OF the hanging ropes to
assist himself on deck. he was more
than surprised to hear a dreadful
changing of bells.
This clamor was merely the sound
ing of eight bells to denote the timo
of day, but old Farmer Giles. seeing
an officer in the distance. waddled
up and accosted him. remarking apol-
ogetically:
Good day, sir! I've come to see

NATURAL COMPASS IN WOODS
TO Those verse6 in RoodeFsssF la

the Traveller.

Those well versed in woo0crast
point out that even in the "trackles5
forests nature provides many ma
ural compasses to Keep the traveller
straight in his course,
For instance. there is a mature tree
that stands apart from its felleT-s-
The bark on this tree VIII be harder.
drier and lighter in color on the south
side On the north it will show
clump of mold or moss. On the south
side of the evergreen trees gum viii
be hard and amber colored. On the
north side this gum IS softer, general
ly dustier, and is of soiled gray hue.
Hardwood trees-the oak, the ash,
elms. hickories, mesquite, etc.-have
moss and mold on the north. Leaves
are smaller, tougher lighted in color
and with darker veins on the south.
on the north they are longer, of dark
er green and with lighter veins.
Spiders build on the south side. In
the south air plants viii attach them
selves to the north side. Cedars bead
their tips to the south. -..
Sawed or cut stumps will afford one
of the compass points, inasmuch as
the concentric rings are thicker on the
south side. The heart of the stump
is thus nearer to the north side.
These results are said to be due to
the influence of the sun. Stones are
bare on the south side, and if they
show any moss at all it will be on
the north. AT best, on the sunny side
only thin covering of harsh, half-dry
moss will be found.
