CHATTER REMINDS or SURF
Diner Wakes Poetic In Describing His
Impressions Of Ordinary Res
taurant GabbIe.

"In the big and busy restaurant
where dine" said Mr. Flickerton, II
am reminded constantly of the surf
that breaks along stretch Of ocean
shore; not the heavy, smashing,
pounding that comes when the rollers
are storm driven, but the gentler ris-
ing and falling, more nearly droning,
sound Of the surf In fair weather; the
restaurant surf, Of course, being the
sound that arises from the combina-
tion Of the voices Of many people
brlskly talking.
''The likeness of this sound to surf
might not strike you until there came
general lull In the hum of conversa-
tion.
"On the shore the surf seems to
break continually, endlessly; it is al
ways curling and tumbllng, seemingly
necessarily; but as matter of fact
there comes now and then a time when
by mere chance no wave breaks within
Immediate hearing, when the sound of
the surf dies down; and it is precisely
like that with the table surf in a
restaurant.
"There are times in the restaurant
when, by the merest chance in the
world, everybody, or almost every.
body, stops talking at the same time,
when the vocal surf dies away almost
completely, and the restaurant is prac'
tically still, as the shore is when the
waves cease to break.
"Like the surf, 1t always seems to
me. Did 1t ever strike you that way?

index FINGER as Nut Cracker.

Nut crackers, which are based on
leverage, make us suppose that it takes
great strength to open nut; and, In
fact, everyone knows from experience
that without such little machine 1t Is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness of nut. And yet one can open
hundreds of nuts in very short time
without any implement and without
any effort whatever merely with the
aid Of the index finger.
Place the nut upon a stone or a
block of wood, but so that the joint
stands perpendicular. In this position
hold 1t fast with the index finger of
your left hand, strike with the right
fist hard upon the index, and the nut
will at once break asunder. Light
blows will not accomplish the feat.
One must strike hard. 1t may happen
that the nut will fly away, but this
only proves that the joint was not held
in perfectly perpendicular position,
which is indispensable to success. The
point of the nut should also be turned
toward the chest.

Wealth of Forestry.

The coast forests of southern and
southeastern Alaska are included in
the national forests of Tongass and
Chugach, which comprise over ninety
six million acres, large proportion
of which is covered with trees. OF
these, Sitka spruce averages about 20
per cent and western hemlock about
rs per cent. The spruce are OCCASION
ally six feet In diameter and $50 feet
tall. The interior forests are prac-
tically all found in the drainage basins
of the Yukon and Kushokwim rivers,
and 1t is estimated that there are forty
million acres bearing trees large
enough for cordwood and logs.

Only Type Of EAGLE Known.

A Russian grand duke, one Of the
cars predecessors, was once the
guest of a German prince. 1t was
early in the century. In Russia the
imperial double-headed eagle Is to be
seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire stamped, paint
ed, embroidered, or sculptured. At
that period the education of grind
dukes was somewhat limited. This
grand duke went out shooting in Ger
amny, and, among other things, shot
large bird. He asked an expert
enced huntsman who accompanied him
what the bird was. "An eagle, your
highness," was the answer. The grand
duke turned on him in an irritated
way. "How can 1t be an eagle" he
asked, "when 1t has only one head?"

How Birds Save Farmers, crops.

A farmer who thought the robins
were pulling up his young cabbages
learned from a student of bird life that
the birds were pulling up only those
plants which were dead; and this was
to get at the wire worms at the root,
which had caused the plants to die
and which would destroy other cab.
bages If left alone. In another case a
group of farmers thought the meadow
larks were destroying their crops. An
ornithologist persuaded one farmer to
spare the larks on his place. The
other farmers shot them. The result
was that the man who spared the larks
was the only one for miles around who
had an oat crop. The birds killed the
insects which destroyed the other
crops,
