In 1910 this number was 2S.S per

states every year by arithmetical pro-
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu-
reau has not estimated cities.

FRENCH FLORISTS IN LEAD
HortlcuIturIsts Of That Country Ac-
knowledued to Be the Finest
In the World.

Some of the most wonderful floral
specimens hail from France, where the
gardeners are found at their best.
That country holds first rank among
the countries for the development Of
methods for the improvement of seed
lings, for progress in artificial fertlllzn-
tion Of seeds, and for the flxatlon OF
new species; before the war France
exported 100000 seedlings per year.
The chief reason for this is her
realization that nature cannot be
trusted to mate the best with the
best, but that this must be taken In
hand as much by the florist as by the
animal breeder.
From each sort of seed the hortl-
culturlst chooses for reproduction pur-
poses those free from every blemish.
Now, It often requires much time ia
fix variety and to recognize In n
Seeding the dominant characteristics
which identify this variety. As soon
as the plants have lowered 1t Is nee
essary to Isolate the specimens show
Ing the marks OF the desired type.
This is done by means of light
gauze net covering the flowers in ques-
ton, and preventing insects and other
agents from carrying out the processes
Of natural fertilization. Then the
seeds are gathered, the subjects for
the creation Of the new generation are
carefully selected, and, at length, after
several years, Worthwhile result
Will have been achieved.

WON PRAISE FOR HISTORY
Work Of Charles Rollin, Famous
Frenchman, Was for Many Years
a Standard Book.

No less a parsonage than Voltalre
praises the work known as Rollins
Ancient History" which, though now
obsolete, was for years In Its English
translation the standard work on the
Egyptians, CNrthaglnlans, Assyrlans,
and other ancient nations.
Voltnire, while praislng the work
highly, alleges that It would have been
better If the author had been more Of
a philosopher, able to distinguish bet
ter the false from the true, Incredible
from tho probable, and to sacrifice the
useless. Notwithstanding, he said 1t
Is the best compilation In any Ian
guage because compilers are seldom
eloquent, and Rollin was.
Charles Rollln was q Frenchman,
and he died at Paris, the place Of his
birth, on Sept. Ia, 1741. This celebrat-
ed man rose from poverty and obscuri-
ty to n position of the greatest dignity.
He was the son of a cutler, yet at the
age of 80 he was made rector Of the
University of Paris, which office he
adorned by the sweetness of his char
acter, his learning, probity and moder-
alton.
Until fifty years ago his history was
a stock book, when 1t began To DO neg
lected on account Of the many DIS
coverles giving a new cast To our
knowledge of ancient histofy.--Chica-

Square Musical Notes.

Shaped notes, that is, notes of
square, lozenge, round and other forms
than the conventional notes, are hard
ly known to most people Of the musical
world. Yet they were strongly In
dorsed and introduced by Lowell
Mason to help In teaching sight sing
Ing, and they are still used In enormous
quantities In the South in rural dis
trIcts. The scheme of the shaped note
Is to represent the different degrees Of
the scale by means Of n different
shape note. For any one who has
passed the most elementary stages In
scale study the plan is quite useless
In understanding tonalItIes, intervals,
etc, and II Is not used In the large
music centers to any appreclable ex-
tent.-The EtudG.

INDIAN FIGHTER NOT A GIANT
Daniel Boone Said to Have Been
Small In stature-Man Of Deep
Religious Conviction.

Daniel Boone is generally pictured as
n giant In stature, Of swarthy complex
Ion, and a grim leader at grim period
In the country's history. Archibald
Henderson in the Century draws a
very different picture of the pioneer.
According to him Boone was d scant
five feet eight inches, although broad
Of shoulder, and his eyes were a mild
blue, topped by fair eyebrows. He
was shy, naive benign and simple. He
was super-woodsman a master In
dian fighter, but only an Indifferent
surveyor.
While acting as an agent for COM
pany seeking wealth through land
grants and colonization, he himself
looked upon his work as that Of un in
strument Of Providence, specially or
dained by God to settle the wilderness.
This religious fervor he carried with
him In his widest adventures and most
bloody battles, and he promptly credit
cd every success, great or small, to
Providence. His two greatest exploits
were the exploration of the trans-Al-
leghany region and the opening Of the
Pennsylvania trail, the path that ran
through the Cumberlands and opened
the beauties and richness Of Kentucky
to the pioneer hordes from the Allan

as the prison Of Napoleon I, before the
opening Of the Suez canal, on Novem-

 OPENS AT HIP TODAY

A big double program will hold the Hip screen for the first two days Of the week starting today leading off with The Great shadow. A very intense story of thrilling action. and sustained suspense the climax is cleverly yelled until the very end Of the picture. It is in this wise a very high grade mystery offering with a fascinating theme and an eXcellently balanced cast-insuring an attraction that cannot but find favor with the patrons of the Hip.
 The unique episodes in the unfolding of the story enhance the value as a sparkling attraction, and it will repeat here the same success it has scored elsewhere
 On the same program. the Hip will offer Breed of the North. There is something about stories of the north woods that holds every picture lover firm in it's grasp. Breed of the North is told amid this fascinating atmo- sphere, and it's action is fast and snap py as well as highly exciting
 This two-featured bill makes an ex- cellently balanced program which is Al in every respect.
