Thinks Earth win Last Many Years.

In recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
rhe eminent English scientist. an.
rousced that the earth would prob
ably continue TO exist for 200Oo,0o0
wears more. These are. OF course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
maie that the earth will live for ten
Zines this age. There have been ami
mails Of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have
lived through some such period. The
age ot man, which is probably only o
few thousand years. seems the merest
trife hy comparison. When we con-
slider how man has developed during
recorded history. which Is less than
zen thousand years~ we may hope
that he will evolve to an Infinitely
finer type In the future.-Boys' Life.

PLAN MORE OSTRICH PLuMEs
South African Raisers of the Birds Be-
iieVe They Can Largely increase
the Supply.

An effort Is being made by South
African ostrich farmers to increase
the plume quilts of ostriches, and Pro-
lessor Deverden believes this can be
done by as much as % per cent, but
w. p. Pycraft. the great English nat
uralist. Is skeptical.
The number of plumes from each
wing averages SO. and occasionally
runs as high as ~ In the South Afri-
can species and 30 in the North Afri-
can. The latter is the larger bird
and Its homes are denser. The Groot-
fontein School Of Agriculture is trying
by proper mating to breed a race of
~ plume birds
Professor Pycraft writes In the Illus
trated London News that the ances-
tor OF the ostrich undoubtedly pos
sessed the power Of flight. when the
wing quilts OF the hand numbered l6,
while the secondary feathers. attached
along the forearm. probably did not
exceed 20. This was the original In
heritance and II can never be In
creased. especially now that the whole
wing has degenerated into mere
wreck Of its original self.
There are now about 1000. 900 birds
on the African ostrich farms and the
value Of their exported feathers Is
about S150O0.OO0.

GET FORECASTS BY WIRELESS
Kansas Agricultural College Makes
Arrangement to Furnish Farmers
With Weather Probabilities.

The Kansas Agricultural college
mas announced that 1t will furnish the
weather forecasts to every Kansas
farmer by wireless telegraph The
farmer win be required to install an
amateur wireless set with which TO
receive the forecast These sets COST
about S35 each and can be operated
oy any person. They cannot be used
Tor sending messages for any con
siderable distances but they will re-
ceive the powerful messages of the
big plants. The forecasts are to he
sent out at 9:55 each morning under
standard code and on the wave
length of 1915 meters, short enough for
any amateur set to take. This wave
length is also long enough and the
college plant is powerful enough so
that the message will reach every
point In the state. The forecast will
be sent at the rate of IS words n
minute and then repeated at 10 words
minute. The service is to be given
free to every farmer, high school.
or to any other person or institu-
ton having wireless set. The high
schools In the small communities are
to distribute the forecast to the banks
and stores and to the telephone com.
panies. The knowledge of the prob
able weather Is OF considerable i'm
portance to farmers during the har-
vest and haying season, and to stock
men during the winter. for they can
make preparations for feeding and
sheltering stock upon knowing of an
approaching storm.

LEAGUE Covenant in Esperanto.

In the case of most international
conventions a version in one language,
customarily French, Is taken as the
original text The treaty of Versailles,
however. STIMULATES that the French
and English texts shall have equal au-
thorlty. But a perfectly equivalent
translation OF anything more complex
than the multiplication table is Inn
possible and already controversies
have arisen over supposed discrepan-
cies In the two versions. So the Es-
perantists of Paris have published
their "Kontrskto de la Llgo de Nacioj"
with the suggestion that by making
Esperanto the official language of the
league all disputes would be avoided.
