TO FLOCK OF GEESE,

Ye wild, free troopers of the skies
That ride in wedged ranks the blue
And unmarked roads of Paradise.
Who else but God had tutored you
That wind beset and tempest form,
To buffet you with mighty sledge.
Ye still sweep onward through the storm
With that unbroken wedge?
Thrill me again, We serried host,
With that shrill challenge which defies
The strength of whatsoever post
Is set to guard the bending skies
Against such rangers as We are
That dare with swift and rhythmic
wings
The night unlghted of star
To guide Gods feathered things.
Ye are the joy of being wild,
The sign and symbol of blest
Estate so sweet and undefiled
1t breathes it's spirit undistressed
Adown the heights to which have scared
Since Eden was our deepest sighs--
Thrill me again, We claimant horde,
With your wind-ringing cries.

Muscular Effort Is Cause
of Nearsightedness, Notes
an Authority on Subject

1t is generally agreed that myopia,
or nearsightedness, is an acquired de-
feet resulting from the elOngation of
the eyeball, but it's causation has not
yet been determined, the evidence for
the assumption that near work pro-
duces near sight being unsatisfactory.
DIR. Eldridge Green, writing in the Lon
don Lancet, advances the theory that
the primary and essential cause is an
obstruction of the outflow Of the
lymph. The obstruction may be pro-
duced by severe muscular effort, e. e..
by lifting heavy weights, when a feel
ing of tension is always felt in the
eyes, which appear, in extreme cases,
to be starting from the head. This
is more especially the cause of pro-
gressive myOpia among warehouse
boys, porterS and others whose work
involves excessive effort, while with
those engaged in sedentary occupa
lions the form of exercise taken may
be responsible, e. e., wrestling, rowing.
digging, and also coughing. Thus
when signs of commencing myopia ap-
pear anything likely to increase the
intraOcular tension should be avoided.
There is no need to avoid reading.

Game Laws Summed Up
by the U. S. Government
for the Aid of HuntSmen

To aid trappers and hunters, the
United States department of agricui-
ture has issued Farmers Bulletin 1922,
laws Relating to Fur-Bearing AMI
mails" which is summary of legisla-
ton in the United States, Canada and
Newfoundland, relating to trapping,
open seasons, propagation and boun-
ties. Under the stimulus of high prices
there is always danger that trappers
will deplete the trapping grounds and
permanently decrease the number OF
fur animals, the federal specialists
say. Regulations and seasons should
be carefully observed, so that the fur
supply of the future shall not be en-
dangered.
For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1918, the foreign trade Of the United
States in, raw and manufactured furs.
reached the largest total in the his
tory of the country. While exports
were only $13,903,631, as compared
with $15,729, 100 for 1917, the imports
were $3S,3S9,372 as compared with
$21, 553,375 for 1917. The total foreign

Smallest Bird Is American;

more than eight and half inches ana

eighths i'm length. OF these the larg-
est are never seen far north and the
smallest rarely. The ruby-throateu

tail of brownish violet. The female

1t is a popular mistake that hum

flowers. They really for the most part
feed on insects, gathered witt fneir

courage, dare not intrude on their

Telescope in California
Is Largest in the World

Another largest thing of it's kind in
the world, the great telescope that
has been II years in the making, has
been set up at the top of Mount Will
son in California. It's mirror required
glass disk 100 inches in diameter,
10 inches thick and Az tons in weight
The dome that protects it and the ma
chinery that enables it to follow the
stars demanded the building of new
road and the construction of spe-
cial kind of motortruck to get them
up the mountain. Although this latest
astronomical apparatus weighs 400
tons, it moves without vibration or
sound by finger pressure on a button.
But what would perhaps even more
astonish, for instance, the ancient
Chaldeans is that it will do it's work
chiefly by taking phOtographs.-Chris-

Waves Attain a Height of
400 Feet in Stormy Seas

Some of the most terrible storms at
sea are experienced, not in winter, as
might be expected, but during the heat
of summer. Waves at the seaside are,
however, totally different and very
puny compared with those in mid
ocean. A Queenstown steamer report
ed waves 100 feet in height during an
Atlantic gale Waves of 80 feet to 70
feet are common to the Atlantic, but
it is in the Indian ocean that we look
for those of really gigantic stature
Cold regions also experience immense
seas. Wasberg Norway, can claim
wave of 400 feet in height. The
Cornish coast was once bombarded
with a wave of 300 feet.
