Emotions and the Eve.

The thing we look at straightest
and most steadily is the eye of the
man or woman who talks to us. And
no emotion changes the glistening of
that eye. Yet, so unobSeryant are we
all, especially descriptive novelists.
that eyes, in fiction, always fash, un-
der the stress of any kind of rage. The
assassin of the surgeon in Paris the
other day went to his deed, as we read
In the fictitious part of the report of
a witness, with eyes that flashed ac-
cording to custom. Now the human
eye has two places for flashing-one
in the clear pupil showing one point
of light or more according to the light
or lights reflected; the other in the
white Neither of these brightnesses
depends upon the mind.

AN AID WORTH READING

On the front page of the Glacier this
week we display an advertisement
written by John II. koberg. who is
second to no man in the country as a
truck gardener. And he is just as
good an advertisement writer. What
he says is refreshing. People Will
read once, and get in the habit of look
ing for what he has to say and incl
dentally they Will also get the habit
of asking for NonpareIl truck pro
ducts. Mr.. Kobefg's advertisements
are refreshing just as his spinach and
asparagus.
1t is heartening to the newspaper
publisher to come in contact with a
man like Mr.. koberg. a man who fully
realizes the value of newspaper space
as medium for bringing greater
profits into his business.

pigmy hippopotamus, of which there
are three specimens. Not only are

and skeletons are so few as to be re-

Forts Built With Natural Cement

The volcanic island of Santorini, In
the Aegean sea, produces natural
cement called 'portselana," which
mixed in certain proportions with lime
and sand is an excellent substitute for
the best cement.
"Portseana" has been used for many
centuries and Is still being used
throughout the near East in the con
struction of bridges, harbor works,
breakwaters, forts, lighthouses, etc,
In the Mediterranean, the Black sea,
and the Adratic. With it the Vene-
tians constructed the great fort of
MonemvaSia and Naupla, the then
Gibraltar of the eastern Mediter-
ranean, the foundations of which are
in the sea, intact and immoyable up 10
now after many centuries. The forts
Of Crete and those of the pardanelles
are also built with "portselana."
