William Penn.

In 1914 on Oct. IA William Penn,
founder of Pennsylvania, was born
in London. He was the son of Ad-
miral Sir William. Penn At the age
of thirty-eight he came to America
aud settled in Philadelphia. He was
a Quaker and his humanitarian and
peaceful policies were strikingly
shown in his dealings with the Indi-
ans. Of all the white settlers, Penn
was the only one with whom they kept
faith. The Indians trusted him com
pIetely and-n treaty made with them
by Penn was ever broken. The Indians,
it is said, never attacked one of
PENIS Quaker followers. William
Penn spent but short time in Amer
lea, a trifle more than four years in
all, broken by return to England.
In 1701 he returned to England, where
he remained until his death at Rus
combe, Berkshire county.

Mineral Wealth of Persia.

Persia bids fair to become one of
the richest mining countries in the
world, according to the London Times,
which says its mineral wealth is al
most inestimable, but as yet scarcely
touched. In addition to oil fields al
ready tapped, there are others await
ing exploitation. There is much gold,
lead, silver, copper and coal.
The difficulty hitherto has been with
transportation, it being necessary to
carry ore several hundred miles over
the mountains on the back Of camels
or mules, which ate up the profit. A
very good start has, however, been
made on building railroads and, as the
roads are suitable for heavy motor
traffic, it ought to be easy to install
mining and reducing machinery.

How Is Your Hearing?

We are not made so conscious in
our ordinary occupations of ear de-
ficiency as we are of eye deficiency.
Unless you are so deaf as to be a
marked man, you can hear the honk
Of an automobile or the clang of a
street car bell in time to get out of
the way; and unless you are so deaf
as to be marked man you can hear
the talk of your companions and dis
tinguish what they say.
AS a matter of fact, in our ordi-
nary, civilized life, the man with nor
NAL ears has about three times as
much keenness of hearing as he is
called upon to use; whereas, even the
man with normal eyes has no such
excess of sight keenness. In other
words, you can get along with less
hearing than you actually possess.
Therefore, you are not aware of the
fact that you may be below normal
so far as hearing is concerned.-Amer-
lean Magazine.

LAKE OF MANY ATTRACTIONS
Haruna's Charm Draws Visitors From
the Most Distant Corners of
the Earth.

Lake Haruna is one Of the most pop
ular lakes In Japan. 1t lies in the
bowl of volcano crater long ago ex-
tinct. An invisible dragon watches
over it and there is a temple to the
god of fire and the goddess of earth
close by. Thus an atmosphere of ro-
nance and individuality is created.
Not all lakes can boast crater, a
dragon in attendance and a temple
so old and SO charmingly quaint, set
in grove of ancient trees, behind
gate and bridge Of gorgeous red
lacquer.
Lake Haruna has another charm,
displayed only in winter when it IS
freezing. Then it. is known as the
musical lake. As the water slowly
changes into bed of ice it cracl1les
and huns in tones as musical as the
playing of a fountain. When the ice
is thick Japanese from the neighbour
hood and strangers visiting the coun-
try come to skate on Lake Haruna,
and when the ice is melted the same
Japs and other strangers come to fish
in its depths and drink tea at the tea
house on the shore. Lake Haruna is
much visited. Those who care moth
ing for its beauty or the joys of fish
ing or skating come to pay homage to
the goddess of earth and to beg her
blessing on their unworthy lands.

is INDEPENDENT OF BRITAIN
Strip of Land in India Over Which
the Ruler of the Empire Has
No Jurisdiction.

At school we are taught that the
king of England is ruler over the
whole empire of India There is. how.
ever, strip of land situated in AS
sam, about twenty miles from South
Sylhet, over which Great Britain has
no dominion. This is Tipperracherra.
1t is ruled by the natives themselves,
and whenever any of them in the sur
rounding districts get into trouble
with their sahibs or memsahibs, they
make straight for this tract until the
trouble blows over.
More enlightened than their fellow
plainsmen, the Hill Tipperras are
cleaner and have better idea of COM
fort. They build their huts in the
bustis (native viIlages) on piles, to
protect them from damp.
Rather short and sturdily built,
they think nothing of walking forty
miles to the nearest bazaar and back
to do their marketing, carrying fish
strung on a stick over their shoulder.
and their other purchases in a basket
on the head.
They dress in short drapery, leav-
ing the legs and arms bare, and many
dispense with the turban. They are
lighter in color than the ordinary ma
tive, and the men wear their black,
sleek hair hanging to the shoulders
with colored quilts stuck over one
ear, somewhat after the manner of
the Redskin.
White people are a source of inter-
est to them and the women and
butchas (children) form ring
around them, exchanging many
glances and words of curiosity.
