MADE HIT WITH RECITATION
Princes Speech Consisted Of Verses
From the Koran, but Audience
Didn't Know 1t.

It is interesting to recall that dur
ing the recent European tour of Prince
Feisal of the new kingdom of Syria,
his memory of the Koranic verses
stood him in good stead. In London,
at dinner in the Guildhall, the prince.
who was the guest Of honor, and who
knew little French and less English,
was called upon to reply to the toast
of his health. Beside him sat his
friend and mentor, Colonel Lawrence,
Oxford professor and oriental scholar,
to whom he whispered as he rose to
acknowledge the lord mayors speech.
Colonel Lawrence nodded, his assent.
and the prince addressed his audi
ence in flowing Arabic periods, win
ming appreciation and applause.
When the guest Of honor, had re-
sumed his seat, Colonel Lawrence, as
his interpreter, rose to express in Eng
fish the princes sentiments of graft
tude for his reception. and to voice
his devotion to the principles Of dem0c-
racy and allied solidarity. It was
not until many days had gone by
that Colonel Lawrence allowed it to be
known among his friends that what
the prince had whispered to him was:
"Ill recite the verses from the
Koran about the cow"
Thus did the diplomatic professor
deceive the unwilling ears of his Guild
hall friends.-Munsey's Magazine -,

SIav Man.Eatino Beasts.

F. S. Little, noted scholar and trav.
eler, will head party of sportsmen
early in the spring in an expedition
into the district to the southwest of
Kuling, China, where an effort is to
be made to rid the country Of num-
Der of man.eating animals, said by the
natives to be tigers. Reports are that
twenty Chinese, besides large num-
Der of cattle, sheep and other animals,
have been killed and devoured in the
district that the hunters will visit.
The country,>which is about 1000 feet
above the plains along the upper foot
hills, has been in state Of terror
since last summer. Inhabitants have
abandoned their homes and farmers
their fields, and Chinese report that
at5least five different tigers have been
seen.-Brooklyn Eagle.

confederates In the Senate.

Immediately following the Civil wal
nearly every prominent southern sena-
tor was former Confederate soldier.
South Carolina sent Hampton and But
Ter; North Carolina, Matt Ransom
Georgia, Gordon and Colquitt; Missis-

Gibson and Eustis; Texas, Coke; Ar.

West Virginia, Kenna and Faulkner.
1t was collection Of eminent men,
strong in debate, winning in manners
and character, completely representa-
tive of their section. With them sat
Vest, once a senator in the Confede-
rate congress-; Reagan, postmaster
general Of the Confederacy, and Vance.
the war governor of North Carolina.
The senate in that period felt and used
it's power more conscientiously than
1t does today. And it's average in
quality was higher, for the North, too,
was represented by group Of leaders

Plan to irriqate Egypt.

For many years projects have been
under consideration for obtaining such
complete control of the waters Of
the upper Nile as will enable Egypt
to develop its agricultural resources
to the utmost and to secure the coun-
try against the dangers Of excessive
floods, while permitting the Sudan
also to develop to some extent it's own
vast resources.
The works contemplated will extend
over q generation and involve the ex-
penditure of tens of millions of dol
lars, affecting the entire future of irri-
cation throughout the Nile basin.
The commission, it is reported,
will consist Of three members: An
irrigation engineer nominated by the
government of India as president and
British PHYSICIST nominated by the
University of Cambridge, while to
draw on the wide experience available
in America on questions Of irrigation
and water supply, and still further
to strengthen the independence of the
commission, an irrigation engineer
nominated by the government of the
United States will constitute the third

Why Orchids Were Gagged.

Visitors to the flower show held re-
Gently in the Royal Horticultural halt
at Westminster, England, were sur
prised to find a number of rare ORCH
ids confined, like so many wild ami
mails in the zoo, within a heavy wire
cage. It was explained that as the
flowers represented new addition to
the orchid family, the grower was nat
urally anxious that his fellow dealers
should not share his triumph. Had it
not been for the cage, an unscrupulous
competitor. might have stolen some
of the powdery pollen from the
blooms, and used it to fertilize plants
of his own. Normally adhering to the
bodies of visiting insects, the pollen
might easily have adhered to the tip
of the thief's finger.-Popular Mechan-

Now the '"FIivver'' AirpIane.

The perfection of small, simpll-
Ned airplane with a purchase price
and upkeep within the reach Of the
average man, has often been at
tempted in both Europe and America.
One Of the latest American attempts
has resulted in the completion Of a
little monoplane,~ says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, that measures
only twenty-five feet eight inches in
span, weighs only $50 pounds when
empty, yet is very. satisfactory in per-
Torrance. The. single-seat body is
Of the monocque, shell type, with the
four struts Of the pylon rising in front
Of the cockpit. Bracing wires stretch
from the pylon to eight points
on the spars of the right and left
wing. Ailerons are Of the wing tip,
unbalanced variety. A twin cylinder,
opposed engine drives the machine,
giving it maximum speed of seven
ty-five miles an hour with load of
$50 pounds.

LOOKING TO SOUTH PACIFIC
White Men Planning Complete Posses
sion of Fertile Islands Of That
PARKWAY Ocean.

With Europe seething mass Of I'M
rest and discomfort and uncertainty,
your Britisher is looking to the islands
Of the South Pacific, already owned BY
the empire, as, the next place to go
and to exploit. to use the expression
of a lot Of people who do not know the
meaning of the word. Already corpo-
rations are being formed to cOlOnize
the islands. and beautiful word pic
lures Of the advantages of residence
upon them are being painted.
The truth is, for some years the
white man has been gradually getting
q fOOthold in the region. The delight
full pictures which one sees Of the ma
tives, gives little idea Of what Ia
really to be seen in the country. They
are not the wild, naked people roam
ing at large, eating each other and
the missionaries. Rubber plantations,
coconut groves, phosphate mines and
other industries are operated by Eu-
ropeans. And schools and churches
are encountered on every hand, with
the honk Of the horn Of the automo-
bile heard in the shade of the palms.
The white man will not reach the
end of his road until there is no more
country to be settled up, and there
are still vast areas to be brought I'M
der his domain. In Africa, and upon
the islands Of the sea, he Is setting his
foot and clearing up the jungles and
conquering the pests and becoming &C.
climated. But the end is not yet;
there is still much to be done, and
the chances are that the next few
years will see an exodus to these far
away places where beginning has
already been made.-Columbus Dis

MANY HAVE WRITTEN Of WAR
From Homer to the Present Day Cor
respondents Have Accompanied the
Armies In the. Field.

War correspondents, who have q
distinguished place in the latest ho:-
ors list, form an ancient tribe If we
reckon Homer as one of theins re-
marks the Manchester Guardian.
Sutherland Edwards maintained that
the editor of q Greek paper entitled
Chronos sent Homer out to Troy to
describe the incidents Of the siege,
which really lasted only about seven
weeks. But when 1t was at an end
the Greek chiefs had no desire what
ever to go home; and as Homer Cor
"O'Maher"-to give his name in it's
original un-Hellenized fOrm) was q
very good fellow and drew large sal
airy with an abundant allowance for
expenses, he readily accepted the idea
proposed by the wise Ulysses-to keep
the war going in the columns of his
paper as long as he could manage
to write about it. His correspondence
was too good not to publish; and
meantime the Greek chiefs went about
amusing themselves. e."
!, There were no newspaper CORE
spondents in the peninsular war, nor
in the Waterloo. campaign-though
Rothschild, in 1916, had correspond
ent Of his own who kept close to
Wellington's army and supplied his
employer with news Of high financial
value. After the peace Of 1915 the
first war Of Importance in Europe was
the one between the Carlists and the
Christmas in Spain, which, beginning
in 1881, dragged on in desultory fash
ion until 1887, when, British legion
having been formed to assist the Chris
tinos, it attracted much attention in
this country. British opinion was d.
vided, Queen Christina finding support
among the wings, Don Carlos among
the tories. Both armies were accused
Of committing atrocities, so the Times
and the Morning Post sent correspond
ents to the Carlist camp with instruc-
lions to find out how the war was
really being carried on. Capt. Hen
ningsen. who represented the Times,
was an admirable writer and profess
sional soldier, whereas Charles Cru
nielsen, who went on behalf Of the
Post, possessed no military experience.
Still, he proved the more successful
Of the two, for Henningsen's letters
never reached the Times. Gruneisen's,
on the other hand, appeared in the
Morning Post, and on this rests the
claim put forward, not by Gruneisen
himself but by his faends, for class
ing him as the earliest Of our war
correspondents. 4

"DAD'' ROYALE'S LUCKY. DAY
Old Man Had Reason to Be Thankful
That His Pig Developed Quality
r.. Of Enterprise.

One Of the most important applica-
lions Of geological science is the point
ing out Of places likely to yield stores
Of mineral wealth. And yet, where
copper is concerned, the really great
discoveries in this country have been
made by pure luck.
1t was Old Man Royale's pig that
located, according to the story, the
richest copper mine in the world-the
famous Calumet lode.
Old Man Royale was not interested
in mining; he kept boarding house.
But his pig was gifted with the valu-
able quality Of enterprise. Grabbing
in the back yard, it "snooted up" q
prehistoric Indian cache.
The cache contained a large guam
tity Of copper, a fortune in itself. But
examination Of the rock beneath dis
closed veins Of the metal, and mining
operations 'thereupon undertaken de-
veloped the Calumet lode, which has
since paid $145,OOO.OOO in dividends
and $50O,O0O,0OO in wages.
NatlVe copper was USED to con-
siderable extent by the Indians In pre-
Columbian days, for ornamental pur-
poses chiefly. Ancient aboriginal skel-
etons have been dug up wearing cop
per masks. In Michigan they got cop
per out of rocks by building fires
against them; and huge nuggets of
mass copper weighing hundreds of
pounds have been found in the Lake
Superior region which showed signs
Of unsuccessful attack. The Indians
had no tools with which to cut up
such great Jumps, and they could not
carry them away bodily.
Copper Is the American metal par
excellence. and of all the metals is
the most useful to mankind, iron alone
executed.
