Truth About the Desert.

The French, who have been the
greatest explorers Of the desert, have
corrected many false ideas about the
desert. The most conspicuous and
persistent of these errors has been
the notion that the desert Is a vast
area of sand. The French have
proved that this is not so. In fact,
only about a fifth of the Sahara is
covered with sand.
The greatest desert In the world Is
about as large as the United States
and Alaska together. The sand areas
in the desert are somewhat larger
than Alaska; and the rocky table
lands forming most Of the desert are
somewhat smaller than the United
States. In other words, the Sahara Is
made up Of about 100000 square miles
of sand and 100000 square miles of
rock surface.

to be not the result of poison from the

great dread of this fly formerly enter

Frenchman Given Honor.

The first white man, as far as can
be determined, to discover petroleum
in America was Joseph de la Roche
D'Allon, a French missionary who
speaks of his discovery in letter
written $50 years ago. He had crossed
the Niagara river and made his way
southwark through western New York
into northern Pennsylvania, where he
found a spring from which oil flowed.
The oil was highly esteemed by the
Indians for medicinal uses. This old
spring was probably Identical with
one described by the Massachusetts
Magazine in 1889, which speaks of "a
creek called Oil creek, which issues
from spring, on the top Of which
floats an oil similar to that called Bar
bados tar, and from which one may
gather several gallons a day." The
waters Of this spring were supposed
to give great relief from rheumatism
and to possess many other healing
qualities.

Rule for Verse Writers.

Free verse, says critic, is only
new way Of printing rhythmic prose,
such as that found in the Bible and In
the serious writings Of Thomas Brown
and Robert Bacon. And as for print
ing it in verse form, William Blake
produced verse whose effect to the eye
is much the same as that of the most
modern "vers librist." In some mod
ern cases, however, it looks very much
as if the noet were experimenting with
the advice of Yoltaire, who said
to Hslteuusi DO you wish an In
fallibie FILE for verse? Here it is:

EXPLAINING FALL OF JERICHO
ing at Which Many Have Sooffed
Was Quite Possible.

Many have refused to believe the
Jericho fell down before the Israelites
as a result of the sound caused by
their shouts and. the horns blown by
the seven priests.
Modern researches and discoveries
in regard to sound phenomena, how
ever, show that such biblical miracles
could be reconciled with natural law.
Vibration of sound is a thing the
possibilities Of which we do not yet
understand. 1t is said elat one Of the
glass by singing into its keynote.
The sub-bass Of the pipe organ Is
known to rack pews to pieces with its
sympathetic note.
The authentic story is told Of an
old fiddler who angered by the work
men constructing the first suspension
bridge at Niagara, threatened to fiddle
it down. OF course he was laughed
at, but, seating himself near the
bridge he began to experiment with
his bass string.
When he found the note that suited
him he sawed away on that note. The
cables responded and soon the bridge
was swaying In an alarming fashion.
If he had not been stopped he might
have fulfilled his threat. In any case
care was afterward exercised to pre-
vent a particle of vibration in the
bridge.

WRONG IDEA OF GREATNESS
BY No Means Always Achieved by
Those Who Have Made Big
Noise in the World.

We make bold to say that there Is a
general misconception in the minds of
people throughout the world as to
what really constitutes a great life.
Unless a man or a woman has been
in the public view with whatever serv-
ice was rendered, unless his or her
picture has been in newspapers and
books, unless, in short, they have
made a noise," we do not consider
that the lives they led were great lives.
This is not only harmful miscon-
ception; it is q mistake and its conse-
quences are, from a moral point Of
view, extremely vicious.
Suppose you are walking in the fields
or in the forests and you come across
a strange kind of bug or insect. You
are curious to know what it Is. Well,
you can secure a book in almost any
public library that will tell you just
what you want to know. That book
was written and compiled by some
man who did nothing his whole life
long but study bugs, cataloguing them,
learning their tribe and origin and the
habits of their existence.
Other men have spent their lives in
equally humble capacities, but adding
always to the worlds sum Of knowl-
edge. The drug that soothes your pain,
the spectacles by which you renew
your WORKOUT eyes, the fire you cook
with and that warns you-these and
millions other Of your blessings and
delights were Yormed out Of natures
secret storehodses for you by patient
students whose names you do not
Eno~.
These are the great lives. These are
the lives that have blessed the lives

NEW IDEAS THROUGH READING
important to Select Good Books, but
Practically Anything Is Better
Than Nothing.

A teacher who had the real interest
Of her pupils at heart, and who took
a genuine interest In them and their
activities after as well as during school
hours, was trying her best TO reach a
particularly trying boy of about thir-
teen years. He did not seem at all in
terested in his work or studies, and
she was attempting to discover just
what he was interested In and how he
spent his leisure time. Upon inquiry
she found he was fond of taking long
and solitary walks, although he dis
claimed any interest in the beautiful
or scientific in nature.
But what do you do with yoursefT
the teacher insisted. "What do you
think about? You don't read very
much, do your"
The boy denied that he read, and as
serted that when he was off alone that
way he liked to think his own
thoughts.
wonder what kind of thoughts that
poor boy occupied himself with? lie
never read, and he was apparently I'M
pervious to new ideas of any sort. He
was just content with his own empty
thOughts-they must have been poor
and stale and empty, for he never
opened his mind to new ones.
The best and most efficient way to
get ideas is by reading-and 1t makes
such a difference, therefore, what we
read. But it is decidedly better to read
almost anything that comes to hand
than nothing at all. For if one has
nothing in the mind at all, such Pc
culiar things are bound to creep in.
Isn't it better to re-think the thoughts
Of fine men than to think your own
mean little ones?-Exchange
