The Flood Lsosnds.

Some have sought an explanation OF
the flood legends In the story Of the
drowning Of the mythical continent Of
Atlantis. This Is fascinating exer-
else for the Imagination, rendered more
attractive by the faint indications from
geology that there may once have been
4 continent in the midst Of the Attain
tic ocean. But II so. we are carried
back to an age SO remote that 1t Is
virtually impossible to correlate it
with the existence of man. and particu-
lariy with man in such state Of de-
velopment as that which the legends
depict.
The deluge story is SO persistent in
human annals that 1t must have had
an origin in some actual event, or
series Of events, but science, at pres
ent, can throw no definite light upon
1t. and study Of the myth-making fac
ulty, 30 strong in primitive humanity,
must be relied on to clear up the mys-
terry of its universal dlffusIon.-Gar.

Back Yard Agriculture.

A movement for backyard agricul-
ture," inaugurated lii Ontario. should
be extended to this country, says the
Providence Bulletin. It is not neces-
sary to have a large tract Of land for
gardening. Much can be done at small
expense on a city yard of ordinary
size. An area Of 40 by so feet is worth
cultivating. Tomatoes, lettuce. rad
fishes, beans and onions, all valuable
food products, can be grown within
the limits Of house lot. Backyard
agriculture" will not support the peo-
pie, but it will add materially to the
food supplies of the country, and thus
will have effect upon prices. The
Canadian government is wise In Its
advocacy of "a vegetable garden for
every home"

White Africans,

That race in Northern Africa known
as the Berbers Is white, and If they
dressed like our own people and had
the habits OF Americans or Europeans
they could easily pass for such. The
Berbers are believed to be descend
ants of the white Inhabitants of an
Client Europe. They are Mohnmmed-
ans. Blue eyes, fair hair. and rosy
cheeks are quite common among them,
and many of the women are striking

Dream Makes Author.

A well-known dream In which the
facts are vouched for is that of X. L..
Stevenson. This popular writer could
dream when he liked, and could COM
plete an unfinished dream of the pre-

Payn, himself a famous author, Ste
venson had nightmare of dual per-
sonality. and on that basis wrote the
novel Of 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde

The house sparrow, or the "avian

Grand Rapids, Mich. NOV l5.-By an

in annual convention here, in reply to
an invitation extended by Samuel Com

in Washington, adopted the following

"The National Grange declines your
invitation for q conference in Wash.
ington, December 49,
The Gompers letter had been referred
to the committee on good of the order,
and after three days discussion that
body reported late today. Members de-
clared in debate that attendance at such
a conference was fraught with peril
to the Grange. Few voices were heard
in support of the invitation and these
were from western members.
1t was asserted by opponents of the
invitation that there was nothing in
common between the agricultural COM
mittec and organized labor. To attend
the Washington meeting, it was de
clared would be tacit admission that
there were mutual interests.

.ARDMORE|TE Of SAME OPINION STILL

After publishing what we did on he Consum-
ers Light and Power Company the past week we
have found that the company has number Oh
friends in the city and they are friends who are
willing to come to the rescue Of the company when
it has been attacked. Articles from them are being
published in today's paper.
The Ardmoreite is of the same opinion that it
when the first article published Our con
tenton is that the gas company has not treated the
people Of Ardmore fairly. They may have intended
to do so, but they have not.
They had an opportunity to buy gas from wells
that had a big production, but they did not buy,
but ran the risk of new wells being drilled and the
wells not drilled into gas sands. They,
in taking chance, made the people of Ardmore
take bigger chance and in that they made bus-
ness blunder.
In the matter of putting in compressor
chnery we do not feel that we should be entirely
justified in saying that they could have been install
ed earlier, but in all probability the shipment and
the installation not pushed with the energy that
the occasion justified. There is every reason to be-
lieve that if the company had used as much energy
during the Sommer months as it used when the cold
snap came. the compressor station would have been
completed OH the first of November and the people
would have been saved the discomfort and the
pany would have been save the expense of suit
at court, attended by risk of having its charter
forfeited as is called for in the litigation.
