AN APPLE TREE IN FRANCE.


An apple tree beside the way,
Drinking the sunshine day by day,
According to the Masters plan
Had been faithful friend To man
Il had been kind to all who cane
Nor asked tho Travellers race or nnne,
But with the peaElnt boy or king
Had shared it's blossoms IN tho spring
And from the summers drcnry heat
To NIL had offered sweet RETREAT.
When autumn brought the harvest tune
Ita branches all who wished might elimtl
And take from many tender shoot
Its rosy checked, delicious irtit
Good men, by careless speech or decd
Have caused n neighbors heart tn bleed
Wrong has been done by high intent
Hate has been born where love was meant
Vet apple trees of field or farm
Have never done one mortal harm
Then came the Germans into France
And found this apple tree by chnnce
They shared it's blossoms IN the spring
They heard the songs the thrushes aing
They rested in the cooling shade,
lis old and freindlv branches inade
And in the fall its fruit they ate,
And then they turned on IT IN hate
Like bcasts. on blood and passion drunk
They hewcd great eaghcs IN It's trunk
Beneath It's roots, with heil's delight
They placed destruction s dynamite
And blew Ia death with lmpt*h Rie'
gentle friendly apple tree.
Men may rebuild then homes IN fiinr
Swiftly cathedral towers may cilni
And hearts forget their weight oi wo
As over them lifcs currents How,
But this their lasting shame shall he

Measuring High Temperature.

, Tin, which melts ut about $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, has been applied to
the measurement of high temperatures
In the same way that mercury, melt
ing ut SO degrees below zero, Is used
for measuring ordinary atmosphere
temperatures. Instead of being placed
in a glass bulb with closed tube, says
the Nebraska State Journal, the melted
tin Is contained in graphite bulb hav-
ing an open tube, and readings are
made by lowering into the tube q
plunger of metal with a high melting
point. When the plunger touches the
tin, an electric circuit is closed, CIV
ing q bell or other signal, the position
of the plunger showing the tempera-
ture. This new form of pyrometer
may be used in either Of two ways
"a to give the temperature at any
time by sliding down the pointer until
the electric signal is set off, or (2)
to announce when any predetermined
temperature Is reached by setting the
pointer at the proper number of de-
grees on the scale. AS the melted tin,
like melted mercury, Is found to ex-
pand at a very even rate, the indica-
lions are held to be notably accurate.

"Good Old Horace" Positively Popular

Genial Midwest Critic.

Old Horatius Flaccus Of all the an
Client bards Is nearest to our modern
sense. He is positively popular" in the
American meaning. Nearly every rhym-
,ster translates or parodies an ode or
two. He is very atIinitive, companion
able and appropos, so to speak. We
understand him and feel certain that
he would understand us were he here.
He would be conducting "colyum" of
quips and jests upon some editorial
page or else be better James Whit
comb Riley were he one of us right
now. To be sure, he would have to
alter his morals mite to serenade
Lalage and to babble Of Falernian a
little less, but in general Horace would
be "right there with the push"
! Old Horace is brother and a sport
as we'll as all men who read him feel
observes writer In the Minneapolis
: Journal. And that Is why so many
are strong for him still, just as the
late Eugene Field was. That Sabine
farm of his, some miles out Of Caesar
can Home and long time back In
the centuries, is as familiar to us as
l"out to old Aunt Mary's."

Men and Watches.

Special talent often makes fine
spurts ahead and genius sometimes
scars grandly, but 1t is the steady-go-
ing sort of worker who gets the most
done In the end, and is the most reli-
able. 1t Is with men as 1t Is with
their watches-the most reliable and
serviceable are the ones steadily at
work, writer on the Canadian Her
aid observes. There is Pennsylvania
railroad engineer who has retired on
a pension after As years of service.
81 have carried one watch for more
than 20 years" he says, "and 1t always
Kept the right time. A good engineer
must have a good watch; 1t does the
most important part Of his work." 1t
is said of this engineer that he has
been an exceptionally sober. orderly,
steady-going man, whose health has al
ways been good and his record always
clean. But doesn't this go without
saying. when we know that his watch
always kept the right time?
