pana, Guard a Picked Body.

Service in tie papal guard has be-
come an hereditary honor in many
prominent families in the cantons or
Zurich and Lucerne, handed down
from father to son through genera
tions. Its requirements are of the
highest, and few military organiza-
tions have as strict discipline. Every
candidate for the corps must be
Swiss citizen. at least feet 8 inches
tall, unmarried, in good health and
free from all bodily disfgurements. He
must present his baptismal certificate
a certificate or pass from his home
and testimonial of good character
from his parish authorities. After one
year of good conduct the cost of his
Journey from Switzerland to Rome Is

Great Scientist, Scholar,
Thinker, Usually Not an
All Around Good Fellow

There is always danger when any
one concentrates that the concentra-
ton will be carried too far-so far
that it produces a narrow, one-sided
and warped point of view, observes
writer. The great scientist, the
great scholar and great thinker in any
line, is usually not an all around
good fellow" "Crabbed,' ''queer,"
peculiar" "odd'' funny" and
"warped"-are these not the adiec-
tives that generally describe the ge-
muses. of the world?
The very effort to concentrate on
the one subject which has brought
success has made it impossible to
keep in touch with the thousand and
one currents of thoughts and topics
of conversation which go to make up
comfortable and easy-going life.
Like the old sea captain, these ge-
muses. miss something in their effort
to fix their attention on one thing.
In spite of this danger. it is good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood of becoming one-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but ther
it can be excused. Most of us car
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep In
touch with the world about us.

GROW FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL
cedars Flourish in Full Vgor at Alti-
tudes Surprising Height of Most
Mountain Peaks.

Eleven thousand one hundred feet al
titude above sea level is some distance
above the clouds for the habitat of
species of great tree which attains
a circumference of 16 and even Is feet.
The tree is the western mountain ce-
dar, and it is found growing in full
vigor at elevations of from 5000 to
over II 900 feet in the southern portion
of the Sierra Nevada and where this
huge mountain chain merges over into
the Sierra Madre, running down into
Mexico. In most of the mountain re-
gions of the United States II 1000 feet
is at or above timber line, but in these
southern Sierras are many genial high
valleys and pockets where huge trees
are found at attitudes which surpass
the height of most mountain peaks.
The snow covers the peaks and slopes
for a great portion of the year, but
with the earliest melting the trees
start growing and in the case of the
annual growth than many Of the low
land trees where the want of water
compels short growing season. These
huge mountain cedars are close cous-
ins to the great cedars of Lebanon
from the timbers of which the temple
at Jerusalem was built. The American
cedars, however, are more upright in
growth than the cedars of the Old
World,

The Hottest City.

The city of Hyderabad, on the great
Sind desert of India, has the reputa-
tion of being the hottest place in the
world, having a shade temperature of
127 degrees during the summer
months, Even the natives find 1t hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible, the people make use of
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, Setting" them so
as to convey a breeze to the dwellers
in the hot rooms below. Every resi-
Dental building has several of these
queer airshafts leading down to the
principal living rooms, and especially
to the bedrooms. Even so, it is prac-
tically impossible, during the terrible
heat of summer, to get to sleep until
two or three o'clock in the morning,
and then one only gets couple OF
hours rest, as the rays of the Indian
sun are specially strong early in the
morning, and soon raise the teinpera-
ture again to an unbearable extent.

Courageous Men Who Have
Carried Civilization Into the
Dark Corners of the Earth

1.-THE world today would be very
small place were it not for men who
have carried the torch of civilization
into far places" says William Heyliger
in an article entitled Daniel Boone"
which appears in Boys Life. "An un-
quenchable fire. burning in their
breasts, has urged them forth to break
paths for their generation. They have
penetrated the dark corners of the
earth; they have, in many cases, paid
forfeit with their lives. Columbus, Ma
gellan, Livingstone-all were Of this
lions breed. So, too. was Daniel Boone.
"There was never day, for almost
fifteen years, when Boone's life was not
In danger. No other man ever fought
civilizations fight against such bitter
odds. He led the first white settlers
into Kentucky. His eldest son was
killed on the march. Other men gave
up and returned to civilization, but
Boone pressed on. He founded Boones-
boro, and for years never knew what
moment the warwhoop of the savage
would bring him from his sleep. His
daughter was kidnapped by the Indi-
ans; another son was slain from am
bush. But Boone. with that flame of
creation burning in his breast, never
once turned aside. Almost single-hand-
ed he wrested the great state of Ken
lucky from the Indians. Almost sin
gle-handed he planted the banner Of
human advancement 500 miles beyond
the then farthest frontier"

SUCCESSFUL WAR ON WEEvlL
Australian Ora n Growers Used Poison
Gas to Combat Deadly Enemy
of Their Crops.

The weevil is well-known curse to
the graingrowing farmer. He Is a
member of a very large group, rejoic-
ing in the family name of curcuhon-
idae. There are some other members
which live to spoil nuts. some which
ravage apple orchards, while others
make war upon clover and legumes
generally. One variety is threatening
the very existence of the cotton plan
tations of the southern states, an
other lives to make difficult--at times
impossible agriculture. The
weevil's eggs are laid in immature
grains and the creature develops it
self through the larva stage at their
expense. Wherever grain is taken, the
weevil goes along and so discovers
new countries for its habitation.
Everywhere it is at home, and grows
with the growing grain. Australia has
suffered, and its unsold grain accum-
ulated through the war years, during
which the length of the voyage made
1t impossible to obtain transportation
to Europe, was found to deteriorate
through it's ravages. But our fellow
citizens on the other side of the world
are notoriously hard to beat, and set
to work vigorously to war against
these restless grubs. A leaf was
taken from the German book, and the
use of poison gas was resorted to
with apparently deadly effect.

EMBODIED THE GERMAN IDEA
Mother of the Great Napoleon Might
Well Be Described as Typical
Teuton "Hausfrau."

Probably the only marble bust of
Napoleon's mother was one Of the OBJ
jects that the Pofsdam palace counted
its most interesting relic. For beside,
the bust the visitor came upon n small
library every title of which relates to
the Bonaparte family. This collection
is vaguely accounted for rs the fruit
personal luggage, beside the seizure OF
most of the Bonaparte family when the
empire fell in 1914. Pru7s'an agents
in Paris during the various revolution
airy outbreaks are credited with 'as-
sembling' anything identified wth
Bonaparte or his family one volume.
the alleged "Memolrs Of Madame
Mere" Che mother of Bonaparter
was specially cherished by the Holfen-,
zollerns, for old Kaiser Wilhelm
caused the chapters TO be read to him
when too Ill to share the soldier drills
and army maneuvers. The l,aiser's in
terest in the Madame Mere reminis-
cences was that Laetitia Ramonini.
as pictured by herself WIS an exact
| type of the Teuton "hausfrau." 1t was
never-ending embarrassment to the
children OF Madame Mere that the OLD
lady couldn't be induced to assume an
imperial state; that she remained to-
the last the sagaclous, economical
housewife, upon whom rested the re-
sponsibility of bringing up brood Of
eight.

VARIED "volcEs" OF FROGS
Man Who Has Studied Subject As
serts He Can Tell Different
Species by the Notes.

The first vertebrate creatures to
succeed in producing vocal sounds
were the amphibians, and, although
there has been little variety in their
individual repertories through the
ages, they have diligently cultivated
their powers. DR.. Frank Overton, in
an account of the frogs and the toads
of Long Island, describes their dis
tinctive calls and songs. The common
toad of Long Island has "a combina-
ton of a low whistle and moan"
the common toad of the mainland ut
ters "a sweet, thrilling whistle; the
spadefoot makes a squawk "like the
groan of a deep-voiced man who is
having his tooth pulled; the chorus
of the cricket frog heard at a dis
tance sounds like jingling of small
sleigh BELLS" and close by like the
rattle of small pebbles poured upon
cement pavement" The common tree
frog utters a loud, musical trill, and
now and then a note exactly like the
sound make by a hen turkey that is
calling to her mates." The spring
"peeper" whistles shrllly; the leopard
frog says "croak" very slowly, 'in an
| extremely low-pitched bass voice" !;
the pickerel frog makes soft sound
| like ''a gentle musical snore"; the
wood frogs heard at distance Sound
like flock of barnyard ducks cluck-
ing, not quacking"; the note of the
green frog resembles that made by
plucking II string on harp Or a bass
7 - mi
in volume corresponds to the size Of
his body, which is more than eight
J inches long. The sound resembles the
believing of a bull" Doctor Oyerton
can pick out the species by their
voices and the notes,-Youths Com
panion.

CARPET WEAVERS OF INDIA
Hard to Imagine Work More Monot
onous Than That in Which They
Pass Their Lives.

Carpet weavers of India work in a
long, narrow shed, straw-thatched,
without any walls, open to sunshine
and the fitful breeze that stirs the
swaying plumelike leaves OF the slen-
der palm and coconut trees rearing
their tall, proud heads above it. -Four
or five or even more boys sit on wood
en- boards on the mud floor in front
of the old-fashioned loom, their feet
resting in shallow pit underneath
it, dug especially to receive them. In
one corner squats a man, his back
probably turned to the weavers, his
eyes dreamily gazing into space or
quite shut, droning: .'Three magent.
two green, five blue, one orange" and
SO on. His sleepy sing-song sounds,
to one unfamiliar with his language,
like the babbling of one talking in
his sleep, or like muttered prayers.
But he is neither dreaming nor per-
forming his devotions He is debating
to the boys at the loom the colors of
the thread that each respective work
er is to twist about the particular
strand on which he Is working. The
lads obey his commands as mechan-
ically as if they were automatons.
None of them knows aught of the
scheme of the carpet, nor is any of
them conscious of the progress that
is being worked out on the other side
of the carpet from that on which the
weayers gaze.

Educational Problems in India.

The Girls school at Katra, Allaha-
bad, can accommodate but few Hindu
girls in the boarding department be-
cause of the difficulty of caste. One
Brahman girl who was very anxious
to enter the school had to be refused
because she could not do her own
cooking and take the full course, and
she could not because of caste regu-
lations eat at the clubs with the Chris
