HAS GEYSERS OF ALL KINDS
No Display Like That in the Yellow
stone Can Be Found in All
the World.

Perhaps there have been greater
geyser basins somewhere In the pre-
historic past. There may be greater
still to come; one or two promising
possibilities are in Alaska, writes
Robert Sterling Yard, in 1.-THE Book of
the National Parks" But for the
lapse of geologic time in which man
has so far lived, Yellowstone has cor
nered the worlds geyser market.
There are only two other places where
one may enjoy the spectacle Of large
geysers. One of these Is New Zea-
land and the other Iceland; but both
displays combined cannot equal Vel
lowstone's either in the number or the
size of the geysers.
Yellowstone has dozens of geysers
of many kinds. They range in size
from the little spring that spurts
few inches every minute to the mon
ster that hurls hundreds of feet in the
air every six or eight weeks. Many
spout at fairly regular intervals of
minutes or hours or days. Others
are notably irregular, and those in
clude most of the largest. Old Faith
full won its name and reputation by
its regularity; 1t is the only one of the
group of monsters which lives ND to

intervals of about 50 minutes. In sea-

How to Drive a PEG In a Tree.

We are planting memorial forests
and are learning to protect, and pre-
serve our wild life, both animal and
vegetable; therefore, when we are in
the wilds we must be careful not to
destroy timber, and If we want to use
tree for hat rack, clothes rack
or gun rack, we must devise some
method which will not injure the tree.
The Old-time woodsman did this by
striking his axe into the trunk Of the
tree and thereby making a perpendic-
ular cut. Into the center of this cut
he would then drive blunt peg. The
advantage of this lies in the fact that
an upright wound on tree heals
readily and leaves practically no scar;
therefore, If when one leaves camp
the peg is knocked from its place
there will be no injury done to the
tree.-Boys' Life.

Why Country Should Get Busy.

But chewing gum Is at the head Of
the class. for If the sticks we ex-

end to end they would reach from
here to Paris, some $500 miles, and

Why YawnIno is Contagious.

A peculiar thing about the process
of yawning is that one person In a
room yawning will quite likely set all
or nearly all the others to yawning
also. There seems to be no explana-
ton of this excepting that when a
number of people are In one room and
one of them begins to yawn, the others
do so, not because they perceive the
first yawn so much as the probable
fact that the air in the room has be-
come so poor that there is not enough
good air for all the, people in It,
breathing normally, and many of them
are forced to yawn at about the same
time.

TREE YIELDS MANY PRODUCTS
dan Get Needed Supply Of
Water and Food.

How the natives of the KordOfan
store their water supply in the remark
able Tebeldi Baobab or Adansonia
digita trees, Is explained by Capt. e..
Galway Warren, in the Wide World
Magazine.
The trunks of these trees, which at
tain huge proportions, sometimes be-
ing 10 feet In diameter for distance
Of over 20 feet, where the branches
begin, are hollow. A hole is cut in the
tree near the top of the straight trunk,
and q native hollows out the interior,
until mere shell few inches thick
remains. Then basin is formed in
the earth near its base, which fills
during the rainy season. This water
Is stored In the trunk of the tree, and
remains sweet for long periods. Even
after two years only slight discol-
grafton was noted in the water.
Natives sell water from these store
houses to travellers. Tenants rent the
trees with their lands and store the
family water supply in them. Nobody
knows how old the trees are, although
they are reputed to be many centuries
old.
From the bark of the trees the ma
tives make rope for binding camel
loads, building homes, etc. The trees
yield nuts Of bitter taste, not unlike
almonds, which are ground into flour.
The nut shells are used as snuff boxes.
