In a good season a tree Is inches in diameter will yield sufficient sap to

two ito ten pounds of sugar.
Discovery wa made by government investigators Of many groves Of sugar
NAPLES in North Carolina, one of which is probably larger than any now to
be found in New England. The owners, being unaware of the value Of the
trees from the maple sugar standpoint, had begun cutting them for lumber at
an average return Of less than 81 a tree
Last season, upon suggestion of government experts, these groves were
tapped and yielded strip that sold for "a a gallon. Revelation of the potential
value of the groves induced the owners to plan more extensive operations for
this spring. N

tired they tidgct. There is an idea that

true if many people are tired together.
Doctor Ross has watched children in
London schools, and he finds that dur
ing the morning If one gapes the 9TH

end of the afternoon. when one gapes
the others do the same. When in In

going up and down past q statue Of u

night there was ball at the palace |;
and at five o'clock in the morning Doc

watched the people going home. Ev-

cause they were fatigued; when they
were fresh, they could pass the yawn-

How IS this done? Nothing more

refuse to be coerced; humor them,
however, and there is no limit to what
they can, and will, do for you. You
have to make decision. Turn the

till you are giddy, YOU will get no near

you. Don't force your thoughts; leave
them alone, and behold, suddenly,
when you least expect it, the idea you
have been searching FOR will jump into
your mind, to be instantly recognized
as the idea YOU wanted.

Thinks Earth Will Last Many Years.

In recent lecture Sir Oliver Lodge,
the eminent English scientist, an
nOunccd that the earth would prob
ably continue to exist for 2O0O0,000
years more. These are, of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age. There have been anil
mails Of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to have
lived through some such period. The
nge of man. which is probably only n
few thousand years, seems the merest
trine by comparison. When we con-
slider how man has developed during
recorded history, which is less thnIl
ten thousand years, we may hope
thnt he will evolve to an Infinitely
finer type in the future.-Boys' Life.
