Arctic Terms Love the Cold.

For long time 1t was thought that
the golden plover bore off the palm for
length of flight between summer and
winter homes, but now that distinction
is awarded to the arctic tern. This
bird breeds as far north as It can
find anything stable on which to con-
struct1ts nest; 1t has been found with
in seven and half degrees of the
pole. And that nest was found sur
rounded by a wall Of newly fallen
snow which the mother bird had care
fully scooped out from round her
chick
The tern arrives in the far north
about June Is, and leaves again for
the south toward the end of August,
when the young are able to fly strong
ly Two or three months later the
birds are found skirting the edge of
the antarctic continent, 1000 miles
away. What their track is over that
vast space no one yet knows.

ORIGIN OF "DICKENS NAMES"
Pursuit Long Favorite Amusement
of the Admirers Of Writer Of
Immortal Fiction.

One Of the most interesting of semi
literary hobbies Is the search after
the origin of Dickens Names" II Is
specially interesting, no doubt, because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular solution" is the
correct one, and, as consequence,
the long list of potential discoveries
Is seldom reduced, much less exhaust
ed. One of the latest STRIKES" Is a
possible origin for the old favorIte,
"Chadband." A recent writer tells how,
few years ago, in one of the small
hamlets between Sutton and EPSON,
there stood small tailor's SHOP bear
Ing In large letters the name of "Chad-
band" And he goes on to wonder
whether Dickens, "going down by road
Dorking, noticed the name, and kept
1t for future use" for on that route
he would have passed the very door
of the shop. The writer seems to think
1t highly likely; while, in proof that
Dickens actually made the journey,
was II not in the town of Dorking
that there stood the Marquis of Gran
by? And was 1t not the hostess of
the Marquis Of CRANKY who ultimate
ly became Mrs. Weller?-Christian

Uncle Joe" cannon's Whitening Re-

Joseph Guernsey Cannon, more af-

fourth birthday. He loves his fellow
man and is one of the most affable
members of congress toward strau-
gers. But Uncle Joe hates "boun-
ders" and lobbyists and Is still young
and vigorous enough to resent their
attempts at familiarity. says the Wash

For the benefit Of couple of men
with legislative axes to grind whom
he was endeavoring to impress with
his own Importance around the capitol,
one of the well-known lobbyists held

Then the cold, steady, steely look In
Uncle Joes eyes gave him warning.

Horse Adapts Itself to Change.

The horse. which as Thomas
Winans predicts, will be extinct ten
years hence, has shown remarkable
knack of adapting itself to changing
geological periods. The animal has In
creased in height. while others have
shrunken and Disappeared but the
fossil remains of horses, only few
inches high, which roamed our planet
at least two million years ago,
are almost perfect models of the ex-
listing type. The most marked change
has been in it's feet. Beginning with
five toes to each foot, the horse met
changing conditions by occasionally
shedding toe, and is now the only
one-toed mammal known to natural
lists. That and the progressive in
crease in its size have been the only
evolutionary processes which the horse
found necessary so as to keep its place
In the sun. AS worker, weight for

70 RESTORE HISTORIC spot
City Of New Orleans Taking Steps %
Preserve and 6esutlfy 6ienvllle's
Landing Place.

An effort is being made I'm New Or
leans to restore the old historic spots
around the city. With the restoration
of the old Place dArmes, the rehabili-
tation of the Cabildo and the Pontalba
apartments which surround It, and the
preservation of all as an artistic CEN
ter for the old French and Spanish
quarter, an effort is being made to re-
store and preserve the landing place
of Bienville. where he first set foot on
the high land in 1920. at the place he
was destined to convert into Nouvelle
Orleans. This landing place. which
lies on the river directly facing the
Place d'Armes, which is now Jackson
square, is covered with the switch
tracks of the Southern Pacific and
public Belt railroads, and with part
of the large steel warehouse belonging
to the board of commissioners of the
port of New Orleans.
Supporters of the Louisiana State
museum have appealed to the mayor
and the various civic organizations to
have these sheds and railroad tracks
removed at once, inasmuch as the
land. clear from the Cabildo to the
river itself, was appropriated some
time ago to be put in historical and
artistic reserve. AS all the water
front of New Orleans and the east
bank of the river belongs to the city
and state forever, the completion of
the artistic center Is sure of accom-
pfishment.

BARRE's NEED OF FREIGHT CARS

BARRE'S NEED OF FREIGHT CARS,
There is no doubt whatever that Barre
shippers have been very greatly Ian
dicapped all through the summer be
cause of their inability to get 'ars to
carry their products; and the situa-
ton is at the acute stage with finished
work and rough stock piling up in tie
yards and with cold weather just
around the corner, so to speak. Con-
signees are clamoring for the delivery
of these goods, the credit of the manu-
facturers is being taxed heavily to
carry on further business and there is
even threat of suspension of the
granite industry if the urgent need for
freight cars is not met by the rail
roads. The shippers have been prom
ised more cars--were promised more
cars as early as last spring-but those
promises have not been anywhere Iear
fulfilled. One estimate places the
amount of goods awaiting shipment to
be valued in the vicinity of million
and one-half dollars. With such a
large amount of money tied up n the
Barre product it is easy to see to
what extremity the manufacturers
have been brought through the failure
of the railroads to make good on their
promises and to keep pace with the de-
velopment of the granite industry. In
order to remedy the situation it is ner-
essary to receive 700 cars at once in
the district. viii the railroads re-
spond to the call for relief? Will they
endeavor to cooperate with one of the
best feeders of business they have?
Or will they continue to hamper the
business with a policy of slow and en-
tirely inadequate delivery on freight
cars
