Life is so full of beautiful stories
that it is incenceivable that there
should be any need of fiction or any
other form of art. Life itself is an
art and requires artists to live 1t.
There are few of these and that may
account for written art.
People who can live on the plane of
their agreements and avoid the plane
of their antipathles make life an art.

EASY WAY TO CLEAN CLOCK
Small Piece of Kerosene-S Soaked Wool
Placed in Case Will Gather
Dust Particles.

When a clock stops it is a mistake
to suppose that it must at once be TAX
en- to the workshop for repairs. In
most cases clocks cease running be-
cause of the accumulation of dust par
ticles which clogs the bearings. 1t is
not even needful to take the clock to
pieces to clean it If a simple plan Is
followed which will be found to work
very well. Soak. a piece of cotton wool
in kerosene and place this in small
saucer, canister lid or anything SIM
<iIar. Then put this in the case of the
clock under the works. Close up, and
at the end of "a hours examine the

covered with black specks; these are
the dust particles brought down by the
fumes Of the kerosene. Wind the clock
up and it will start away again. Where
the works of the clock are in an In
closed case few drops Of kerosene
should be poured through the small
hole which is present in the metal COW
ering. Turn the clock about while so
that the kerosene is distributed and
after an interval 1t is extremely likely
that the works will commence their
normal operations again. Scientific

Birds That Burrow.

Persons are not accustomed to think
of birds as burrowing animals, but the
muffin answers to that description. 1t
is a chunky little fowl, less than a
foot high, with large and powerful
beak Fer home it scratches hole
in the ground sometimes as much as
four feet deep. To capture a putin

and claws fiercely, one is likely to
suffer in the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rockery, where other
snecies of wild fowl have been killed
off and exterminated.

The expected concerted movement
Of the Reds against Baron Wrangel in
southern Russia has not developed
very rapidly, possibly because the Boil
sheviki are too much occupied in COM
batting revolts within the territory
which they control. The latest of these
outbreaks are reported to be in the
regions of Odessa, lKherson and Podo-
liza. That the situation in the Moscow
district is serious for the soviet gov
eminent is Indicated by the fact that
Dzersjinski, president of the extraOr-
binary executive committee, has been
appointed commander in chief of all
the troops there. He is the most bru-
tai of all the Boshevist leaders and is
considered responsible for much of the
Red terrorism and for many murders.
Meanwhile Wrangel continues to in
flict defeats on his adversaries and to
capture prisoners and material; and
he does not seem to have lost any
ground to the Reds.
The all-Russian soviet has ratified
the peace treaty with Poland, and has
given the Poles more territory than
they asked at first in return for a
pledge not to help Wrangel.
