The nest was situ- ated upon an oak twig, and was about the size of a black-walnut. and from where. sat it looked more Ike an cxersscence than a nest.

Beetle CuItlvator.

Ants are not the only Insects that practice the cultivation of mushrooms. although for a long time it was thought that they were the only creatures of a lower order than man that possessed the intelligence to follow such an agri- cultural pursuit. Bouverie. the ento- mologist, had found that certain wood-boring beetle, known as the bos- trychide, Is as familiar with mushroom cultivation as is the species of ant of which so much has been written. Pro- lessor Bouverie discovered that the beetles in question bore holes in wood and half fill them with a prepared fungus which makes an Ideal mush- room bed. The garden Is carefully spawned and in course of time the mushrooms appear. In this way the beetle provides itself with food suf- ficiently tender for its feeble jaws.

 The knocker seems to be afraid of dying from shame if he should ever a person. He knocks the folks he works with. If you mention a good thing about a man, he is always ready with his "Yes, but" and then he starts in with long string of defects to offset the good qualities.
 This animal has very keen eyes when he is looking for defects, but for good qualities he is stone blind. In nine cases out of ten he is envious or jealous, and when one has feeling of inferiority, 1t Is much easier to run down" other people than to lift one's self up.
 Many men do it who do not mean to do the harm they cause, but 1t is a habit they easily get into, and 1t not only does harm to other people, but Ii robs a man himself of the pleasure Ire might get out of the good things in other men.

Japan must be a happy land for theatergoers, because in that land seats are not paid for-in fact there are no seats. The Japanese much pre- fers to squat, feeling, no doubt, much more at home in this comfortable at- titude. Seats. however, are usually brought for the use of any foreigners who may be present. > There are ne hard and fast laws of convention. The Japanese playgoer may do as he 'pleases; he may eat, drink, smoke and criticize to his hearts content. Conversations are carried on, and, if they merit 1t, the actors are met by a storm of criticism and chan. When a man enters the auditorium he removes his boots, and if the weather is hot, any clothing that appears to him to be superfuous. The naive franknes@ of the actors prompter is rather de- lightful, for If an actor forgets his lines the prompter comes on the stage and, quite openly, points out to the actor where he is wrong. A boy is kept for the express purpose of walk ing on the stage and wiping the per spiration off the actors faces; this duty he carries out without disturbing the even tenor of the play.

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
Jehn Willis GrIffFths RevoIutlonIxed the
 Science Of Merchant shfpbuildIng aRd Naval Architecture.

John Willis Grifiths was the man who revolutionized the science of mer- chant shipbuilding and naval archi- tscture. In 1S41 he appeared before the American institute In New York ard proposed a model for a new ship. He succeeded in interesting William Aspinwall, one of New York's China trade princes, who in 1842 signed a contract to build a ship of 75O tons according to Griffiths' designing.
 The ship was completed in January, 184b, and named the Rainbow. The Rainbow sailed for China in Febru- ary, and was back home again in Sep tenber to reward her owners with POO Der cent over what she had cost.
 ? John Willis Grfflths was born in New York in 1909, and died there in 1882. He was the inventor of the trap style of hull construction; the builder of the United States steamship Princeton, the first twin screw ocean going vessel, and was the inventor Of the process of bending ship tim Der in a vacuum. In 1851 he pub hshed privately a treatise on naval architecture which attracted compara- lively little attention in this country, but its merits were recognized in Eng land, and he became lecturer in Ed fnburgh university on naval architec- ture, Y ' ' n, c',- 'r,, :T,,sy ls,-s

LIVES IN CONSTANT DREAD
At No Period of Ills Lifens the Zulu Free From the Fear Of
 Witchcraft

The Zulu baby is born into the fear of witchcraft; in the fear Of witch craft he grows up and when he sick ems and is about to die, his one thought is that a spell has been cast upon him for which the charm cannot be dis covered.
 All his life long he dreads to meet in lonely places the "inswelabova"-- an inhuman man, lacking only hair or fur to make him altogether a beast-a sort of beast in human form who rides backward on a baboon. ready to bounce upon and make medicine of the uAwary traveller.
 In mature manhood he suspects his neighbor, his friend, his brother, and even his wife of having dealings with makers of charms and poisons. He walks with an uneasy feeling that an enemy may have put medicine in his path to harm him.
 From every possible source, from earth and from sky, from river and from forest, from friend and from foe, he Is continually apprehensive of an evil influence coming upon him and searching for a talisman to wear against it.-Dr. James B. McCord in Medical Missions.

Shall We Discard Hyphens7

Tn the struggle for the conservation of energy and material we are urged to cut out the hyphens from our books and writings, says the Chicago Jour nal.

MAKES THE SArpHIKE BLUSH
Rsdium Treatment Turns the chsapsi Stones to Rubies Which Com
 mand the Highest Prices.

Modern science has not brought ui very much nearer the magic stone ot the old philosophers, but 1t has enahlec later experts to play some surprising tricks with the existing materials o1 the jeweler and lapldary. The old alchemists set out 10 discover the phi losopher's stone. and achieved gunpow der and other adjuncts to civilization as the accidental hy-product of their horiginal inquiry. Their less credulous descendants reverse the process; the invention Is made first and its applica. tion to magic is discovered afterward
 The existence of the electric furnace makes 1t possible to create diamonds that are the veritable stone. and ts fuse clippings and fragments of ruby into one complete jewel. Now arrives a report that with the aid of radium successful transformations have been made In. the appearance, If not in the nature. of certain precious stones. 4 sapphire, 1t is said, has been turned into glorious ruby by long exposure to the effect of radium. Chemically considered, this is not very surprising, for the two stones are both examples of corundum, and the mysterious acct dent of color is the principal difference between them. If sapphire can be made to blush hard enough for its mistake in not being a ruby, pre- sumably 1t could blush Itself into a most accomplished example of the more valuable stone.

ast-Furnishing Tree.

In Canada and eastern United States the Iarch, a sturdy tree, which belongs to the pine family, often grows 30, or1 60 feet high and is generally knowfi' as hackmatack, while in the Genital states it is called tanarack. The European variety is even taller and hasf1onger leaves which don beau- tiful autumn tints before falling. ! On account of it's long, tapering form, the tree is extremely useful for masts In sailing vessels, telegraph poles, and a variety of purposes, and as it Is common from the Arctic circle to the United States. 1t Is easily found for the especial use for which 1t Is adapted.

Dinner for Dyspeptics.

Sir Henry Holland, the' late Lord Knutsford's father, gave what is not too common-a really pleasant piece of medical advice. He recommended his dyspept1c patients to go out to din ner and eat made dishes.
 Herbert Spencer, one of the recipi- ents of this advice, found 1t to a> con- siderable extent justified.
 'The effects of agreeable emotions are often surprising" says the valetu- dinarian philosopher. "I' have had many experiences of the fact that dys- pepsia, so far from being necessarily exacerbated by dining out, may even be cured, notwithstanding many die tetie imprudences, if the social sur- roundings are such as to yield great pleasure. e."--London Chronicle.
