AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin of Pines Turned Into Precious Material by the Action
 of the Elements.

The worlds supply of amber, that rare and therefore precious substance, the "gold of the north" as it has been called. comes from the coast of Sam land in the eastern Prussian penin- sula, between the towns of Burstrort and Palmnicken, and here the shafts of a famous mine run out under the Baltic and the miners are actually working under water. Ages ago the country was a land of pine forests which the ocean overwhelmed; the pine trees vanished beneath the sur face of the sea, and then, century by century, the wood became fossIlized and the natural resin of the pines was turned into amber Millions of years were needed to transform the resin Into amber, and the search for amber has developed romantic and picturesque episodes like those that have become part and parcel of the story of gold and diamonds. An amber mine, how ever. is not necessarily under water, and there is an open-air mine at Palm nicken where amber is dug for in much the same way as diamonds are sought in the mines of Kimberley. Tn nor nal times this one mine provides oc- equation for about 5000 amber seekers.

FISH LIAR WORKS OVERTIME
Here Is One Concerning a Salt Her. ring That Is Challenge to the
 Imaginative.

That is the worst of those fish sto- ries. Somebody always comes along with a better one.
 Recently the Evening News told the V. A. D.'s story of the frozen fish that came to life in the cooking pot. Then a correspondence naval officer, 1t should be said-easily puts that to shame.
 "An interesting experiment was tried some little time ago." he writes to us, with an ordinary herring.
 ''The fish was put into large bowl of salt water and every day small quantity of water was removed and an equal quantity of fresh was sub stituted, until eventually the fish lived and thrived in purely fresh water.
 ''The owner was so pleased with the success of his experiment that he then tried removing very small quantity of water daily until the bowl was empty, and found that the herring did excellently, entirely without water, and as he was so lively in the empty bowl he had to put him in cage.
 Here he lived happily, hopping from perch 10 perch just like bird, until one day some sudden noise star tied him and he fell into his water trough and-was drowned!"

Auberqe du Pigeon.

Strasbourg, French once more, is unfolding, like a rose to the sun. The old life has begun again, as 1t was lived before the Interruption in 1871. Houses are throwing open their shut ters and hanging up once familiar signs. One of them, the Pigeon inn. one of the glories of Strasbourg with Its painted wood carvings, its old windows and curious ship decorations, has reopened it's doors. It was built in 1881 and began it's career under the sign of "Au Pigeon" Then later the sign changed to "Au Pigeon Blanc" and for two centuries the inn was the rendezvous of the university students. After 1870 the sign was taken down, the Pigeon Blanc's hospitality ceased and the house became the headquar- ters of a Roman Catholic society. The days of its ecclesiastical importance are happily over The inn becomes the Pigeon BIanc' once more, open ing a new chapter of its long history under true Alsatian management Christian Science Monitor.

words and Music.

The value of words is going up, at least in Rouen. There the courts have decided that the artistic values of the words and music of poem are equal. At present in the United States and Canada the writer of the words of a song gets only a pittance of the royalties or a small sum out right at the start. In England many of the most popular ballads have brought their Writers no more than two or three guineas, while the com poser goes on cashing his royalty checks for years. What measure pub fishers apply to the two arts thus combined to make words so much less valuable than music Is rather hard to understand. Verse writers might well send a little gold medal to the just minded citizens of Rouen who have ruled it a false one.

FELL TO RoosEvELT's SPEAR
Big DeVllfish Victim of the coloneI's Love of Sport, Either on
 Sea or Land.

The fame of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt as a big-game hunter is well known, but he was equally as adept at killing big fish of the sea, aecording to Russell J. Coles, noted big-fsh killer. Attracted by ore of Coles articles about killing the devilfish, the colonel appealed to him for instruction in the art. After taking several land lessons, using a spear with which he saw an African kill a lion, he finally became expert, and Mir Coles formed a party to hunt the devilfish off the coast of Florida, in Punta Gorda, March 25, 1917. There the colonel killed his first deyilfsh, hitting the huge creature, which weighed many tons, just two inches from the spot indicated on drawing by Coles, and driving the spear two feet four inches through the heaviest and boniest structure of~the fish. The colonel was standing on the cab of a small boat travelling nine miles an hour, and the fish was coming to- ward the boat at the rate Of 15 or 1e miles an hour, swimming about four or six feet under water. Had the colonel missed his aim the fish would have been able, with one of its side fins, to upset the boat and drown the fishermen. An hour after his first catch the colonel killed a second devil fish, which was the second largest devilfish ever killed. MT. Coles is scientist who has hunted devilfsh for more than 20 years.

Unusual Methods Used.

With the end of the war have come many revelations of the unusual meth ods used by the Germans to spread their harmful propaganda in the coun tries arrayed against the central pow CTS, and of the clever work which often frustrated their well-laid plans In one case, mentioned in Popular Me chanics Magazine, what appeared to be an old and worn copy of the works of Homer proved to be a volume of attacks on British rule in India. Only the first few pages of the hook were printed with the words of the ancient poet The remainder, though in Greek type like the beginning, was filled with the diatribe. The volume was ad. dressed to an educated Hindu capable of translating the Greek into an In. dian dialect.

HAVE SIMILAR FINGER MARKS
Important Discovery Made by Call fornia Professor as to PecuIiarities
 of Family Groups.


 Prof. J. 4. Larson. instructor of physiology in the University of Cali fornia, announced a new discovery in connection with finger prints which Is likely to have a remarkable influence on many important cases that con cern the law courts of California.
 Briefly, Professor Larson's discovery indicates that a similarity of finger prints among members of a family is sufficiently marked to enable scientists to trace family groups and determine positively whether a given individual is really member of the family to which he claims relationship.
 The importance of the discovery in probate cases such as the Slingsby case is obvious.
 Should Dr. Larson's new discovery be accepted by law and science, the Slingsby decision may be reversed, as well as many other analogous cases.
 Dr. Larson's investigations began in 1913 at the Boston university.
 ''Since that time I have examined prints of members of approximately 100 families" he said, "and I am satis- fled in my own mind that such a means of identification is possible. I am preparing detailed reports of my work now in order that science may be benefited by my discovery. Before I complete this, however. I expect to investigate the prints of fifteen or twenty additional families so as to re move all doubt as to the accuracy of my discovery. San Francisco Chron- icle.

GOT INSPIRATION AT PIANO
Immortal Melodies Evolved by Masters While Their Fingers ''Wandered
 Idly Over the Keys"

A story is told of Mendelssohn to the effect that the charming arpeggio figure in the Spring song of his Song Without Words" came to him on a day when he played with his children at the piano, and allowed them to catch his hands, as they wandered over the keys; and it is fact that many of our most beautiful musical productions owe their origin to extem- porizing on the piano.
 This is not to be wondered at for many of our greatest musicians have poured out their hearts deepest feel ings as their fingers have fitted, in a desultory fashion, over the keys, pro- ducing corresponding notes and chords to their ever-changing moods; finding at the keyboard vent for their in most thoughts and desires, often meet ing with that triumphant response that time can never diminish.
 We can see in the works of Chopin and Schumann a proof that in the piano is the origin. of many of their most beautiful productions. while in the great symphonies of the old mas ters their shape, form, and color have been gained at the piano where their fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys"
 This Is not so hard to understand when we consider that the method of composing a melody is, in essence, but the picking out and assimilating some melodic tune to which the harmony is afterward added. From this primitive instinct is ultimately produced the i'm mortal tone pictures of the great mu- SicianS

Our Own Masters.

We have been told that America is to save the world and rescue civilization from dissolution, but we must do it in our way; in the way that has made us, in a little more than a century, the most unified, the most virile, and the most potent single power in the world. And when we ask ourselves what it is that has given us this unity, this virillty, and this potency, the an swer is, that we have founded this nation upon principles of law, and upon the guarantees of individual rights under the law. That is our great contribution to civilization; and If we are to be of use to other nations. old or new, our first thought must be to remain our own masters, to pre- serve our independence, to control our own forces as nation by our own laws. and to protect our heritage of organized liberty from any form of detraction or perversion. = David Jayne Hill in the South American Re view

clant Warrior of MIddle Aaes.

The pride and magnifcence that played their part in the days of chiy. airy can hardly have a better Illus tration than the suit of equestrian armor which has recently been placed on exhibition in the Metropolitan Mu- scum of Art, in New York city. Sieur Jacques Gourdon de Genouilhac wore the suit in the sixteenth century. and Sieur Jacques was an uncommonly large and powerful warrior, who serv- ed under Louis XII. and Francis I. of France. As may be deduced from their armor, the knights of the period were not noticeably large men, and Sieur Jacques must have seemed a veritable giant, for a six-foot attendant at the museum has tried on his armor and Is said to have merely rattled around iii it."

DELIGHT IN GUESTS
Pleasing Trait of Household Help
 in Palestine.
Presence of Company to Dinner Is Taken as compIIment-Native Woman's Amusing Comics
 sion of Vanity.

Palestine is one place in the world which has no servant problem" ac- cording to Miss Evangeline Metheny of Beaver Falls, Pa, just returned from Red Cross service in the Holy Land.
 "The servants in Palestine" says Miss Metheny, who has lived there most of her life, "are a different set entirely from the servants we have here in America. They make their services personal; their interest in their employers affairs is personal. whereas the American servant regards it impersonally.
 "In Palestine, if I were to tell my house servants that there would be ten people in for dinner, they would be delighted. It would be a matter of personal pride with them that their dinner was the best to be had, and their service, too. They would be happy at the thought of working for a mistress who had so many friends that she could get together ten at one time. There would be no sulky looks or actions at the extra work; every servant would cooperate and the din ner would go off grandly.
 ''Here the mention of an extra guest or two creates a feeling of resent ment. know people who do not dare to invite a dinner guest until they have obtained permission from their cooks. Cooks in Palestine consider extra guests a compliment to their art. The servants in Palestine would ten times rather work for Americans than for the native population. The reason is not alone that we will pay higher wages-we treat them better. For one thing, American women do not swear at them, and native women do. They call down every kind of curse on the servants eyes, and his children, and his grandchildren they say the most untranslatable things as a matter of course. It is not in the least unusual, it is quite au fait, for an Arab woman to swear so."
 Servants in Palestine may be differ ent, but woman is woman the world over, Miss Metheny says with Kipling and other authorities
 "Once in railroad train," she says, T was sitting in the same eompart- ment with an old native woman. In the East there are separate carriages for men and women. In our coach there was a particularly pretty girl, and from time to time a young Eng fish or American man passed through. watching her. My old woman was kneeling on the seat with her shoes of, praying. In order to pray toward Mecca she had to kneel crosswise on the narrow seat, and the rite of pumping her head on the floor sev- eral times in each prayer was an acrobatic feat under such circum- stances. Every time a young man came into the carriage she had to struggle for balance while she pulled her veil down over her face. Finally she spoke to one. My son." she said. ~do you not know that you have no right in here with the protected ones" (women)?
 He apologized, and she raised her veil when he went out.
 "You know" she said to me in Ara bic, eff I had any teeth left I would not pull down my veil. only Go it that people will think there is a nice face behind it."

Owing to the war the supply of "sea moss," of which several hundred thousand pounds, valued at almost $50.OO0, have been imported annually, for the most part from France and Germany, has virtually come to an end. Sea moss (not seaweed) is the popular name of several kinds of small marine animals that grow in colonies of branching, plantlike form. Their commercial value arises from their having horny skeleton which preserves the general plantlike shape of the growth.

Sacrifice.

Love means sacrifice and apprecia- tion. And the man who thinks he loves and has not the spirit of sacrifice only is administering to his self-grati- fication. All of the big emotions have coupled with their expression an under lying element of capacity for repres- sion. It is the ability to give or with hold that makes their true value, and since love is the greatest of all these then the greater should be the power of sacrifice.-Alden.
