DEW HAS WHALING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That 1t Possesses In
MIGRATING Action That Affects
Growth of Plants.

Dew is vitalizing,. not entirely be-
cause it is water but because 1t pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
" at any rate to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during its formation per-
sxide Of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
The peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality that marks the early-morn-
ing air has it's origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under tree in full leaf is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing
constituents of the soil or that 1t keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects it from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any of these explanations Is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the vitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under a tree,
whereas as q rule both rain and light
can reach it.

PERU'S DRIFTING SAND DUNES
Plateau Shelf Has Strange Crescent
Shaped Formations That Are
Packed Hard.

AS one makes the ascent of the
Andes from the Pacific port of Mol
lendo, Peru, following the line of the
Southern of Peru Railway, the climb
to the divide is broken by two great
steps or widespreading shelves of des-
ert or pampa.
On the first of these steps, about
two hours steep climb from the sea,
and at an altitude of from four thou
sand to five thousand feet, are located
the famous drifting sand hills of Peru.
The plateau is here about twenty
miles wide, the air thin and dry and
no trace of vegetation to be seen, only
these gigantic crescent-shared sand
dunes dotting the pampa as far as
the eye can see.
Composed of fine gray crystal sand,
they CLEAN white against the brown
of the desert, and their horns point
toward the prevailing south wind of
this region. They are from fifteen
to twenty feet in breadth across the
thick part of the crescent and some
times one hundred feet from horn to
horn. So tightly is the sand packed
that the feet of the horses or mules
make little impression on 1t.

MORALE AIDED BY MUSIC
Fact Brought Out by the War Bound
to Have Great Effect on Future
Generations.

"Music makes morale" and 50
promptly music was enlisted in the
war. Song leaders were appointed at
all the training camps and immedi-
ately the glory of real music was
spread before the millions Of men
as a reinforcement and aid to the
idealism which had brought them into
the war
From then on the soldiers had mu-
sic individually, in masses, in groups.
They made it themselves, it was made
for them by our finest artists. They
had monographs. They had records
by the million. The process Of must
cal education was swift, and the pu-
pills were apt. Now they have return
ed to us men who know good music
as large part Of their life and en-
tertainment, have become reasonably
apt performers themselves in a great
many cases. What must this mean to
the country? It must mean that the
people as whole are reader than
ever before to listen to it as well as
to be taught it.

COULDN'T FORGET THE GREEN
Mrs. FIannigan's Neat Expression Of
Loyalty to Her Native and Her
Adopted Land.

Mrs. Flanagan for years has proud.
ly exhibited from her front window
row of geraniums, in pots wrapped
in bright, Irish green crepe paper,
says the Indianapolis News. But the
other day when her neighbor, whose
son was in France for several months,
pulled back her window curtain and
revealed her flower pots, decorated in
red, white and blue paper, Mrs. Elan
nigan was visibly troubled. She wOr-
ried and worried. 1t is quite hard to
be loyal to two countries at the same
time, yet Mrs. Flanagan desired to
be so.
Then one morning her wide Irish
smile came back to her face. And
passers-by saw in the Flanagan front
window row Of flower pots brave ir
red, white and blue coverings and ev-
cry covering was tied to the pot with
a wide band of green ribbon.

Honey Yield Hiqher.

The average yield of surplus honey
In 1919 was so pounds to a colony Of
aoney bees, as estimated by the bu-
.eau of crop estimates, United States
department. of agriculture. This is con-
siderably above average Of As pounds
IN 1918, and Of Al 6-10 pounds for the
ave years 1913-1917. The relative pro-
portions in which the honey Of the
asst two years was marketed are indi-
Gated by SO for extracted honey, 81 for
.omb honey and 10 for bulk honey.
About one-third of the product goes to
soutside" markets.

She Had 1t Buried.

In illustration of the extent to which
gold and silver are being boarded in
China, the far eastern division of the
bureau of foreign and domestic com.
merce gives currency to an incident
reported of an old woman paying for
her purchase Of cotton mill with
100000 worth Of gold bars, which she
had dug out of its hiding place. 1t is
estimated that, due to the disturbed
political conditions and lack of ade-
quate banking facilities throughout
China, at least billion dollars worth
of silver is similarly boarded, which
may partially account for the present
exchange situation.

italian Libya now comprises the
two provinces of Tripolitana and

the east, in longitude from about 8
to % degrees east. The extremely
northerly part Of Libya is at about
the parallel of latitude 33 degrees
north; the southernmost point is I'M

when his proposal Of marriage was not
taken seriously by the father Of the
girl he loved. She died few years
later and Bulwer said that the disap-
pointment embittered his whole life.
At Cambridge. he won medal for the
excellence of a poem and published
another book Of verse
In 1927, he had sufficiently recovered
from his premature love affair to
marry, against his mothers wishes, a
brilliant beauty of society. The match
was fore-doomed to be unhappy, for
both Bulwer and his wife were too
unrestrained to live together. They
quarreled. were legally separated and
continued to quarrel in print for years.
Bulwer was rapidly winning renown.
His first novels were successes but 1t
was not until "The Last Days of Pom
peii" $3.50 that his fame was assured.
Nine years later appeared "The Last
of the Barons," which many good
judges have considered his best work.
He wrote numerous other stories.
novels Of society. Of crime. of mys-
teries, of family life. He was the most
successful dramatist OF his time. He
dabbled in journalism. For 10 years
he was a member of parliament, was
later secretary for the colonies, and in
1866 was raised to the peerage as
Baron Lytton. He died on January 1s
1873.
