SPORES SCATTERED BY WIND
Remarkable Reproduction of Species of Fungus Is One of the Wonders
 of Nature.

We often wonder at the amazingly sudden upspringing of mushrooms and toadstools. Today the green of the lawn is unbroken. In the night gen. tie rain falls, and we wake to see a crowded group of yellowish-white "inkycaps" spreading their parasols in the very shadow of our doorstep. MT. Burton O. Longyear in the Cutters Book describes the marvellous repro ductive powers of these fragile and short-lived plants.
 Each species of fungus produces upon or within some part of it's fruit body countless numbers of minute re- productive bodies called spores. So small and light are they that they float in the air as an invisible dust. Many of them falls to the ground and are washed into the soil by rains. Others are waited away on every breeze, car ried possibly for days, to be brought down at length " rain many leagues from their starting point. In this way they are carried to the ends Of the earth, dusted into every crack and cranny, lodged on every exposed sur face of wood or soil and caught on every dew-mOistened leaf or twig.
 The amazing number of spores pro- duced by single fungus can be real ized only by knowing their relative size. Thus in the case of most puff balls at least three thousand of the globular spores. when laid side by side, would be, required to form a line one inch long. A compact mass of such spores. the size of parlor-match head. would contain the incOmprehen- sible number of thirty millions of these microscopic bodies, enough to cover an acre of ground with four spores for every square inch of surface.

for work that morning. She raised two worried eyes to the bare spot where the yataghan had hung-but was she dreaming-she rubbed her eyes, for there in it's old place hung the Turkish dagger, polished like new. Alcina drew back, actually fright ened, then hastened to touch it to see if 1t was real and not an optical H. fusion. No. it was the silver yata- ghan. there was no possible mistake.
 "I don't understand it," she said aloud; tits the most remarkable thing that ever happened"
 "Not really so very remarkable, considering that I put 1t there," said a voice strangely familiar. Alcina swung around to see a tall young man quite unknown to her.
 Don't you really remember your devoted tOreador?" he questioned, coming nearer.
 Alcina gasped "How on earth did you get here and how do you know me, if you please?"
 "I think ] would recognize the dark eyes of my Turkish vamp any where. but seriously I owe you an apology. I took the yataghan last night-you see 1t happened to be my yataghan. l recognized it imme- diately. But If I had had an idea that it would make you leave never would have done it in the wide world. When could not find you any where, then I left, too."
 Jo;- ing fast, answered, very disturbed, "Then you must be Mrs. Mawson's youngest son?
 He nodded. "I am very much ashamed Of myself for causing you an anxious moment over that old knife. And I'm going to confess still further. When l came home night before last I happened to glance in the library. and To and behold a very charming young woman was taking down my old Turkish yataghan and putting it in her huff. I wondered what on earth she could possibly want with that sword. On questioning mother found out who you were and that you intended to go to fancy dress ball. Then and there I decided that I was going 10 the ball, too. but it was not the silver yataghan that made me go, Please forgive me- and let's be friends" '" He held out both hands beSecchingly, and before AL cina knew what she was doing she had laid her hands in his! It was a silent but true premise of future part. nerShip in the silver yataghan!

"Gettino" the Goat All Right.

The goat had been living alone, high above camp of photographers. He was a fine big billygoat, and one of the intrepid photo shooters deter mined to get him. Accordingly, John M., Mack Norboe and his dog, climbed up to the hill, and after some very hot work they cornered him on mar row ledge, from which the only escape was suicide by jumping off. The goat stood fast and dared the camera man to shoot.
 Hanging on by one hand and one foot, the reckless camera man rested his camera on his free knee. worked 1t with his free hand and in the course of half an hour got half dozen sur prising pictures at very close range. Surely never before or since that day was crag-climbing animal thus cornered at eight feet distance and photographed large"

OH Wells Detected Electrically.

New uses for electricity are con- stantly appearing. One of the latest Is the detection of crude oil in the earth instead of boring for it.
 It is stated that crude petroleum has been located electrically in the shallow oilfeld near Corsicana, Texas, and that further tests are being made around Burkburnett. A series of bat teries is used for the test, the negative terminal being connected to a wire which is dropped into dry waterhole, valley or indentation, and the positive terminal being connected to Hand wire" which is used to make contact at various points on the surface of the field investigated. It is stated that the higher electrical resistance of oil compared with other constituents of the earth, permits 1t to be located by the reduced Reflection of a sensitive instrument in the circuit.

Tn every great tire factory, the chief question is: "How much can we give for the raoney?" And the product depends on the policy adopted.
 Every man who has become ac- puainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident.
