PRAYER ROCK WIDELY KNOWN
Idea Of Vermont Citizen Has Been
Productive of Far Reaching and
Splendid Results.

On a cliff at the foot of brakes hill,
in Bristol. VT, is the so-called Prayer
rock. which has become widely known
during the past 10 years with the in
creased use of motor cars. 1t was in
1891 that DR.. Joseph G. Greene. a for
mer citizen of Lincoln, VT. bethought
himself how he might do something to
stop the excessive use of hard lam
guage INDUCED in by exasperated farm
ers seeking to urge their horses and
oxen up the steep rise in the main
road between Lincoln and StarksborO.
He decided that some ethical or re-
ligious reminder should be established
at the foot of brakes hill. and finally
gave an order to stOnecutter to en-
grave the Lords Prayer upon the face
of the cliff. AS the nature of the rock
did not bring out the lettering clearly.
Doctor Greene had the text painted
white. Every spring the town author
tiles now repaint the letters. For
many years Doctor Greene lived in
Buffalo, and there received hundreds
of letters from tourists, expressing ap-
prevail of his prayer rock idea. The
carving had the effect desired. for few
drivers could but be patient with their
beasts Of burden in the face of the
scriptural quotation on that great tab
let.

RODS GIVE NO PROTECTION
French Vine Growers Find They De-
rive No Benefit From Metal
Rods They Erected.

The vine-growing region of the Gil
ronde, in France. has been quite ex-
tensively equipped in recent years
with tall metal rods. similar to light
ming rods, known as paragreles or
electric Niagaras," and alleged to af-
ford protection from hailstOrms. A
careful study of the functioning Of
these rods has recently been published
by M. e. County of the University of
Bordeaux. The statistics presented
show that numerous hailstorms have
occurred in the vicinity of nearly all
the rods. Moreover. according to NJ
County. there has been no obvious
change in the character of these
storms since the erection of the rods.
His article points out some of the
principal reasons for the erroneous
conclusions that others have drawn in
favor of them; for example, the fact
that, normally. only one thunderstorm
in five is attended by hail; that the
area over which hail falls is normally
very small in comparison with that
covered by the thunderstorm. and hail
tends to occur in scattered patches or
narrow bands; and. lastly, that a dis
trict in which hail has fallen for two
or three years in succession often re-
mains free from hail for years. re-

ATHLETES OF INSECT WORLD
Compared With the Ant, Man Cannot
Be Considered as Other Than
Puny Creature.

Ants are the athletes of the insect
world, easily carrying ten times their
own weight. The edifices they rear
by conjoint labor render the pyramids
ridiculous, for the common wood ant
will build structures as large as q
haycock, all of mere fragments. If
others are content with small dOmiciles
it is because their needs are sufficed
but all alike dwell beneath their under
ground galleries and halls with the Or
der and activity Of a busy, well-gov-
erned city.
No nonsense is taken in ant land
about everybody being as good and
great as everybody else. They nurse
with infinite devotion the ant babies,
putting them in the warm upper gal
leries by day and at night tucking
them up in the suggest lower cham
bers. They bring home stores of food
to the ant city, for those are wrong
who say that the little creatures do
not lay up winter provisions.

You cannot reach a high degree Of
