LIKE EACH OTHERS COMPANY
Stones Found in Nevada Seem to Have
Distinct Aversion to Being
Separated.

In Nevada are found curious min
eral specimens known as ''sociable
stones" No better name could be
given them, since when few are dis
tributed over level floor two or three
feet apart they will begin to move
toward one another TO common cen
ter with an alacrity that is ludicrous.
Campers first noticed these stones.
They had used wrapping paper for a
tableclOth and weighted the corners
with some OF the stones spread over
the level top of boulder. A few mo-
ments later one of the men noticed
that the paper was Tapping in the
breeze and that the four or five stones
were huddled in group in the middle
of the paper like nest full of eggs.
He thought the wind was responsible,
Strengthened them and added more
stones.
The next time he looked around the
stones were back in the heap again.
Once more he replaced the stones and
sat down to watch them. They began
to roll and hitch along toward one an
other again until they were in pile.

"Who Wrote III"

When Demetra Naka, author of
"Haremlik" and "In the Shadow of
Isam," first came TO America she was
governess for year to the two little
grandsons of j. Fenimore Cooper.
The children had been brought UP
with the utmost reverence for their
famous grandfather, and had uncon-
sciously imbibed the belief that all the
worlds best literature was the Off
spring of his pen.
Something was said In the elder
bcy's hearing one day about one of the
books of the Bible, with some refer
ence to its authorship, and the boy
looked up at his governess with a
startled face.
"Who wrote the Bible?' he demand
ed, as one whose first faith has been
shaken.
Demetra Vaka explained as best as
she could about the various books. and
the boy sighed, still bit incredulous.
II Always thought" he said slowly,
that grandfather wrote It,"

SPRAY FOR DORMANT SEASON
Buestone Is Excellent Funeicide for
Grapevines to Be Applied Dur
ina Cold Weather.

Get out the barrel spray pump and
dissolve one pound of bluestone in 20
gallons of water. Spray the grape
vines with this. This material can
not be used when the plants are in
leaf, but 1t Is an excellent fungicide
for the dormant season and every
grapevine should have an application
during the winter. Where the SOUP
pernong arbor Is thick give 1t good
spraying and do not neglect to spray
the posts and supports so as to get
any spores that may be lurking there
during the winter season.

The Trend of the lines.

President Kroeze of jamestown col
lege was talking about the trend of
the times.
"A minister" he said. had forci-
BILE reminder of the trend of the times
the other day. His brother-in-law, a
lawyer whom he'd always rather
looked up to, hailed him and asked
humbly for the loan of a two-dollar
bill. The minister made 1t 81 and
proceeded on his way. lie had not
gone far when an automobile stopped
and his cousin, a horny-handed milk
wagon driver. whom he'd always
looked down on as a poor relation and
miserable failure, leaped out and
asked him to get In and have a run
out to Ye Village lime roadhouse,
where very neat chicken and waffle
luncheon was being served at five a
plate"

JUST LEAVE IT TO TERRY
Harvard Authorities and Students
Rely on Memory Of Colored
Human Encyclopedia.

No one knows how he does il. lie
forgets face or name. He never
took IA memory course. lie never did
any special mental gymnastics 10 de
velop his memory. He has no theories
on the association of ideas. He has
no little tricks, such as remembering
mans name Is Carpenter because he
Is built like Il Hath. He simply re-
members. that's all.
Terry is roly-poly little colored
man who for 10 years has been the
human encyclopedia of the recorders
office ut Harvard college Every Har-
ward man since 1900 knows Terry. The
remarkable thing is that Terry knows
every one of them. More than 10000
men have come and gone in Terry's
time. Terry remembers them all.
His extraordinary faculty for re-
membering names and places caused
his being installed in the position of
living encyclopedias. not only on all
Harvard men, but on Harvard history
generally. When members of the fac
ulty want to know the date of the fire
in Weld hall, or when the course Gov
ernment 7B was started. or the names
of the most recently elected overseers,
or the score OF the Harvard Williams
baseball game ten years ago. or any
miscellaneous bit of Harvardlana they
don't take the time 10 look it up. They
ask Terry. And Terry always knows.

at four years unless injured by frost
or otherwise.
Plums vary considerably according
to the group to which they belong but
most sorts begin to bear in four or
five years after planting.
Sour cherries ordinarily begin to
bear in about four years and sweet
cherries at six or seven years after
planting.
Apricots come into bearing at about
the same age as peaches. or sometimes
n little later.
Ounces are usually five or six years
old before they bear much fruit.
Raspberries. blackberries and dew
berries, If planted In the spring should
bear light crop the next year. Straw
berries planted In the spring or early

growth before the advent of cold

Currants and gooseberries commonly
bear few fruits the third season after
planting.
Grapes may bear very lightly the
third season where conditions are ia.

expected earlier than the fourth year.

SUPER-PRODUCTION
"SALOME" is COMING

The monster spectacle of the
screen, "Salome," is at the Opera
House today and Wednesday. 1t is
by far the most pretentious of the
William Fox super productions. The
magnificent perturbation of the Bib
lical story is not based on any one
of the numerous versions by emf
nent writers and composers, but on
the actual history as related by
Flavius Josephus, foremost authority
on the subject.
Indeed, there is host of versions
to select from had such a policy been
preferred. The epic scope of the
sheer narrative has stirred the i'm
agination of the worlds leading
dramatists, musicians and roman
ticists. To mention only few of
the famous works based on the Sa-
lone episodes: Oscar Wilde's exo-
tic "Salome," a one-act play written
in the French tongue; "Herodias," ="
by Gustave Flaubert. the sensation

Lincoln. Neb., July 2o.-Early ar- rivals among the delegates to the prohibition partys national conven- ton today were discussing chiefly the attitude of Wm. !. Byan should the convention offer him the leadership of the prohibition ticket next fall.

 Mir. Bryan's recent statement in the Commoner that a man must ac- cept the nomination if it is offered" said ". c. Calderwocd, vice-chair- man of the national com mittee ''is looked upon by us as tantamount to declaration that he will accept. We are preparing to go to the mat in this campaign and we are going to nominate a ticket that will draw hun dreds of thousands of votes.''

ANDERSON-TELLER
 MATCH THIS EVENING
Leading Contestants in State Duckpin Tournament to Play or Tie
 on NaLSatuck Alleys.

Eddie Anderson of this city and Fred Teller of Naugatuck, both of whom are tied for first honors in the Connecticut Duckpin league, will bowl this evening on the White Bear alleys in Naugatuck. Upon the outcome of tonight's games depends the results of the contest.
 Anderson and Teller, the leading contestants, have each won 106 and lost S1, maintaining a percentage of .567. Andy Mccarthy of Hartford has won 112 and lost s6, holding a per- ccntsge of .555. A 6 to break for either of the leading contestants this evening will slide Mccarthy into a tie for first place while a win of seven games by either contestant will put the clamps on the tournament.
 Because of the fact that bowling fans in three cities are vitally inter- ested in the outcome of the tourna- ment, the results of tonfght's games will be closely watched. A following of Andy's rooters are planning to go to Naugatuck to witness the match. Considerable confidence is being ex- pressed in the camps of both leaders while the follo wers of the runner-up. Mccarthy, feel that his entering tie for first place is tantamount to a win of the state honCrs.
