PART IN PRESERVING REC
ORDS OF ACTIVITIES. ....-

In its work of collecting the rec
ords of Minnesota's participation in
the war, the Minnesota War Records
Commission has in view the building
up Of both county and state war col
lections. The work is authorized
and financed by the Public Safety
Commission. The county war col
lections are to be housed permanent
ly in Libraries, courthouses, or in other
suitable repositories in the several
counties, and as a rule at the county
seats. The state war collection is be-
ing assembled at the Historical Build
ing in St. Paul under the permanent
care of the State Historical Society
According to this plan Stearns
County for example, will ultimately
possess in the county war collection
assembled by the County War Rec
ords Committee, now at work Coz
soon to be organized here) complete
records of the war services per-
formed both at home and abroad by
the various individuals, organiza.
tons, and communities of this coun-
ty. Such collection will include
the record of: every Stearns County
man in the federal or state military
service, complete files of all newspa-
pers published in Stearns county dur
ing. the war, photographs of the coun-
tvs soldiers and sailors, views Of local
subjects and events of wartime inter.
est, publicity matter, and perhaps the
official records, correspondence files
and papers of the local branches in
Stearns County of the various wal
organizations, soldiers letters, posters
and printed miscellany, decorations
trophies, and relics.
The state war collection in St
Paul, on the other hand, will for the
most part reflect the war services Of
the state as a, whole. In it will b.
included a complete set Of the in.
dividual records of Minnesota mer

compiled in duplicate by the County
War Records Committees; all avail.

half the newspapers published ir

war. In order that other types of
local war history material may also
be represented in the state war col

county committees so far as possibl
to secure or make duplicates of rec

oreeIan Marriage Gesture.

There are two noted statues of the
Venus Genetrix In which the Grecian
marriage-gesture Is illustrated--one a
Roman copy Of Greek original held
to represent celebrated type by Al
camenes. In the Louvre, Paris. The
goddess IL clad In very light Ionian
tunic. and with raised right arm lifts
her himation from behind toward her
head, forming the Greek gesture sym
bolic Of marriage. The left hand OK
tends the apple.
The other, an antique marble statue,
in the Vatican museum, Is held to be
an excellent copy Of the bronze cult
statue by Arcesilaus which stood in
the temple of Venus of the Forum
Julium. The figure is fully draped in
very thin. clinging drapery;; she ex-
tends the apple with her left hand,
and with the right raises her mantle
over the shoulder toward the head
the symbolical marriage-gesture.

slufflno Among the Reptiles.

The ancient practice of bluffing Is
not limited to the human species. Va
rious animals pretend to be worse
than they are.
The hog-nosed snake is a perfectly
harmless little fellow, with no capa-
cities In the way of poison, and yet
this reptile. which Is rather pretty, Is
given such sinister names as flat-head-
ed adder and sand viper, and Is usual
~ killed on sight. This Is because II
has the habit of fattening It's head and
putting out its neck and kissing vio-
lently, which is for no other purpose
than to brighten of intruders. 1t is
plain bluff, to give the impression
that the reptile has poison fangs.
This counterfeit is usually taken at
its true value. and affords the hog
nosed snake considerable protection,
except in the case of human beings,
who destroy the innocent reptile on
sight, when 1t is not only harmless but
useful also in keeping down vermin.

Biologists have discovered a number
of sub-oceanic canyons, or drowned
rivers, along the east coast of the
United States. Both the Hudson and
Delaware rivers are in this class, as
well as Chesapeake bay. The st. Law
renee river, in Canada, and the Congo,
in Africa, are also deeper, near their
mouths, than the ocean. The Hudson
river, worn by the flowing stream. is
considerably deeper than the offshore
part of the Atlantic. 1t Ii flooded by
the intruding ocean. The bay and lower
river compose what would be called In
Norseland ford. The whole coast of
the United States has sunk good
deal in the course Of ages. owing to
the enormous weight Of material
brought down by the rivers and de-
posted out In the ocean off shore,
But biologists say that the melting OF
glaciers has largely to do with the
phenomenon.

FINE OLD ENGLISH DWELLING
etskssay Castle. Dating From 1921,
Has Many Unusual Attractions
for the Tourist.

Stokesay castle, which dates back to
1921, Is probably one Of the finest Of
all England's old dwellings. Although
called castle. this ancient dwelling IL
really a fortified manor, and all Of its
ancient characteristics have been
maintained through the last 500 years.
The great hall. which is over so
feet long and 80 feet wide, Is easily
the most striking feature Of the old
manor house. The windows Of the
castle are all large, and the hall was
thus made a much more pleasant place
to live in than the majority Of houses
built in England at. that time.
During the thirteenth century the
builders first began to make English
dwelling houses pleasant to live in.
instead Of mere places of shelter or
defense. Windows of the kings houses
were ordered to be glazed, outside
doors to have protecting porches. fire.
places to be built, and numerous other
household additions made. In some
places the windows were filed with
painted glass and the walls decorated
with rare paintings.

Fish were not always fish, and did
not always stay under water. accord
Ing to the story Of the blacks Of the
Australian bush. They say that fishes
once lived on land and went hunting
just rs other people do.
One day the fishes were gathered
together In camp near river, the
story goes. II was very cold, and the
fishes were huddled around fire try
ing to get warm. Suddenly great
wind came up and blew both the fishes
and the fire into the water. The fishes
just crowded around the fire under
the waves and kept warm. That IL
how the fish first came to stay In rivers
and streams, the bushmen say. They
add that the fire Is still under the wa
ter. and that is why It is always warm
er under water on a cold day than 1t

crow once owned all the fire there was
on earth. and that he kept 1t in bag.
One day II dropped from his bill and
q sparrow hawk saw II fall, He dove
after It and grabbed the bag. When
he new away the crow gave chase and
overlook him. The two birds fought,
and in the mixup the hre fell out Of
the bag and set the grass and leaves
ablaze. The crow tried In vain to
prevent the spread OF the names by
stamping on them and rolling In them,
but the are spread over the earth
and everybody got some. To this day
the crow IL black from rolling on the
