Sun Fire Throws
Gigantic Flames

There was recently the biggest dis
turbances on the sun that astronomers
have ever happend to observe. 1t
seems to have been an enormous erup-
ton, during which masses of flames
were thrown to height of hundreds
of thousands of miles!
A gigantic arch of fire, spanning a
large section of the suns edge Gas
seen through the telescope), rose, up
held as. it were, by two columns, one
at each end Riding still higher, it
finally broke, assuming thereupon a
supiral form. The arch was at least
100000 miles high, and lasted four
months before it disappeared.
Another eruption of fame, which
attained height of 100000 miles, oc-
curing soon gfterward, stretched like
rubber band, the middle part rising
rapidly and the sides Strengthening
so as to form almost an isosceles tri-
angle.
The United States trained $1,000 air
pilots during the war.

Five Cent Piece
Starts Boy on Road
to Success

Van Palmtree is 13-year-old boy
who lives in Pamela County Miss. Van
belongs to. one of the many boys. agri-
cultural clubs in that State. Many os
the Mississippi club boys have had
unusual success with their projects,
but Vans success is noteworthy be-
cause of its small beginning.
In April, 1916, cents was given him
by his teacher as a reward for unusual
ly good lessons and good behavior one
day at school. With this money he
bought chicken. 1t was crippled,
hence its low price, but much coddling
on his part saved it's life, and it grew
to maturity. The next summer she
raised brood of chickens which were
sold for $780, With this money Van
bought pig. 1t was a runt pig, but
care and good feeding for a few
months made it well worth the $3.50
for which its owner sold it.
Immediately the young financier
bought heifer calf with the price
paid him for the hog. Last year, and
again this, she presented her owner
with heifer calf, so he now has a
little herd of three, all the outgrowth
of the one nickel which he invested
four years ago.
The club boys cattle are scrubs,
but he is hoping to have something
better some of these days, and with q
boy of his kind, to plan is to do. So
it would not be surprising if the nickel
continued to grow and become pure
bred herd before Van is 16.

Thoughts of London

oh, have bartered and forgotten thee,
Selling thy furnished twilight for gold
sun,
Relinquishing thy dreams that used to
run
A ragged troop along thy streets with
me?
Cast of the glitter of the jewelry,
Thy lamp-light, starlight, colors crude
ly spun,
The forge that swathe in bands of
mystery?
Mother of dreams and laughter and
despair!
Thy joy my Heaven is, my He'll, they
pain,
Thy labyrinthian streets wind every
where,
Thy sins and passions battle me
again;
And all my hopes thy lamps that flick
and glare,
And all my griefs thy beggars in the
rain.
From Poems by Iris Tree

Archie Sanderson, presenting his

that the coveted position of assistant

Mr.. McTavish read the papers careful

Blunders of Writers

1t was Pope, it is thought, who, in
couplet from 1.-THE Essay on Criti-
cism," first suggested that even
Homer mods" at times; and since his
time the quotation had been deemed
to be the most apt mistake made by
writer's or artists eminent in their
sphere, commons a writer in the Sun
and New York Herald. Few writers,
even those of great genius, have es-
capped these lapses, from Shakespeare.
who in Julius Caesar" refers to
clocks some IA centuries before they
were invented, and who makes cannon
thunder in king John" and intro
duces pistol in Henry W." to the
modern novelist who places Bombay
in Bengal.
Now Shakespeare, who was not a
scholar in the strictest sense, made
many mistakes of this character,
which, however, are chiefly mere an
achronisms or the introduction of per-
sons or events out of their proper
time.
He, for example, speaks of turkeys
in plays and times of which long an
tedate the importation Of the first
turkeys from America. In Henry
W" the carrier complains that "the
turkeys in my panier are quite
starved" although Henry w. reigned
a hundred years before the discovery
of America. In Henry "" Cover
says to Fluellen of Postol, Here he
comes, swelling like turkey cock"
Worse than these is the anarch-
ronism in Julius Caesar" in which
Brutus says to Cassius, Count the
clock To which Cassius replies,
"The clock hath stricken three"
Striking clocks were unknown in
Caesars time, and for many centuries
afterward.
An eminent ornithologist has point
ed out that many writer's have blum
dered in referring to the nightingale
1t seems that both Shakespeare and
Milton made the mistake of causing
the female bird to sing. Shakespeare
in this relation said: Nightly she
sings on yon pomegrante tree" and
"The nightingale, if she shall sing by
day. while Milton speaks
of the wakeful nightingale, who all
night long her armorous lescant sung"
Milton, in Paradise Lost" wrote:
Thick as leaves in vallombrosa."
GAS a matter of fact" comments
Palmer, an authority in such things,
"the trees of Vallombrosa, being pines,
do not strew the brooks in autumn
with their leaves"
An odd slip was that of Browning
in his use of the word "slughorn,"
which the author of "Pippa Passes"
evidently took to be a musical instru-
ment. "Dauntless the slughorn to my
lips l set" The word "slughorn,"
however, is merely a corruption of the
Scottish slogan" battle cry! But
Browning errs in good company, for
Byron, in "Childe Harold's Pilgrim
age" comitted a bad blunder when
he wrote:
81 stood in eVnice, on the Bridge of
Signs,
A palace and prison on each
hand"
1t is scarcely necessary to point out
that, as we read the couplet the i'm
plication is that there were two pal
aces and two prisons; but Byron
meant of course that that there was a
palace on one hand and a prison on
the other.

A Challenge to
Sportsmen

"If there is sportsman in the
United States who prides himself on
his workmanship, and who thinks he
can bring in bigger bag of game
than an illiterate, half-naked Burmese
hunter with crossbow and arrows,
there's such a hunter ready to take
him on any time he chooses to Jour-
lney out Burma way. And if the
sportsman is not marksman of the
order of Buffalo Bill or Annie Oakley,
he had better think before challenging
the heather hunter"
Thus spoke M. L. Patterson, a min
ing engineer of Washington, Lansing,
Michigan and Mergui, Burma, in an
interview for the National Geographic
Society before embarking for Burma,
after his trip home in more than seven
years.
"The old man." continued Mr.. Pat.
terson, takes an oil tin, the top of
which has been cut out, and straps it
on top of his head, as a girl ties a
sunbonnet. In the tin he places a
little kerosene lamp, which makes it
a somewhat clumsy counterpart of
an automobile spotlight With this
he goes into the jungle at night, and
of course the eyes of the jungle ami

For ammunition he uses poisoned
arrows. He first prepares vegetable
poison, and after the arrow tip has
been dipped in that it is stuck into
a piece of decayed deer liver. Death
ensues very shortly after the arrow has
struck home.

genuity enables him to get around
this. He will find piece of gas pipe
somewhere, fit rude stock to it, and
crude primer and hammer, and will
use safety matches in lieu of powder.
He cuts off the heads of about two
boxes of matches, and puts them into
the Impoverished barrel. He then RAM
his shot home and is ready for busi-
ness.
"And let me tell you, if you never
tried to shoot with such gun don't
ever do so. Why, an express rifle is
about as kickless as twenty-five cal

ONE ON CAREY

In making BLUE Streak Meow
Harry Carey was all but drowned
when the hose from water wagon
was unexpectedly turned on him.
AS the picture opens he is shown
the morning after prohibition had
been declared, stretched out in the
gutter of Cactus City, much the worse
for wear.
When the scene was rehearsed
Harry was told that water wagon
was to drive by with all his friends
on board. After he had declined an
invitation to join them on their long
and dry ride, Harry understood that
he was to be hooted and jeered at.
but he did not understand his director
to say that he was to be doused with
a hose.
Anyway, that was what happened.
and it came so suddenly and unex-
pectedtly that Harry's acting was most
realistic when he sat upright with the
most surprised look on his face.
Great" shouted the director, Hold
it,"
