This HaIf-DoIIar Rare.

Ever since the news that silver
half-dollar of 1853 brought $500 was
published throughout the country a
few years ago, there has been great
er misconception as 20 this coin than
any other ever str.ck by the United
States minis. This arises from the
fact that there are two kinds of half
dollars of 1853. The rare variety has
no arrows at the dates and there is no
sunburst on its reverse.
Only two specimens of this coin are
known to be in existence. Half dol
lars of 1853 with arrows at date and
sunbursts on the reverses are very nu-
merous, however, and they have fire.
quently dashed the hopes of holders
who were unfamiliar with the dis
tinction between the two varieties Of
the coin.

Small Girls Criticism.

Little five-year-old Lois had been
told not to be in such a hurry when
she put away her playthings, to take
a little more care and pack them
straight. One evening her grandma
was taking her home after dark. As
they were walking along the street
lights were turned on. She looked up
and asked: Grandma, who turned all
of those lights on at once?" On being
told man at the electric light plant
turned them on, she said: swell, then,
who turns on all the lights in the
SKYE" Grandma told her God did that.
Noticing that the new moon was tilted
at different angle from what she had
noticed before, she said rather disgust
edly: swell. wish God would take
just little more time when he turns
on the lights and turn that moon on
straight while he is about it,"

WILL TUNNEL UNDER STRAIT
japanese Authorities Said to Have
Decided Upon Engineering Feat
OF Magnitude.

Several months ago announcement
was made that the imperial govern
ment railways Of Japan intended to
build q tunnel under the Shimoloseki
strait. This strait separates the main
island of the Japanese group, Hondo,
from the smaller island Of Kiushu at
the south. 1t is now crossed by
car ferry. which Is rapidly becoming
insufficient to meet the demands that
are made upon it. Two years are to
be spent in studying the geological
formation Of the sea bed in the strait
and in drafting Of the general plan
Of work in preparation for the actual
undertaking of tunneling, so that the
real work will not commence until
1921. Engineers and workmen will be
sent to America and Europe to make
a study Of what has been achieved in
these countries in the way Of tunnel
engineering. The line Is to be seven
miles long. one mile Of which will be
entirely under the sea. The approx
mate cost of the undertaking will be
about S10,OOOOOO and the work is ex-
pected to be completed in 1S2S.-Sci-

No "mute InuIorious Millions. i"

There are no mute, inglorious Mil
tons,n although there are many inglo-
rious persons who imagine that they
are Millions, writes st. John IRVINE in
the Manchester Guardian. A Milton
may be ''inglorious" for a period, but
he is never mute" for Il moment. Even
the inglorious persons who imagine
that they are Millions, when they would
be much better employed as haber-
dashers, are never mute. They are as
a rule, more articulate than the Mil
tons, for they put into their tongues
what they are unable to put into their
pens.
The problems of society in dealing
with men of genius is not how to en-
courage them but how to keep them in
order. 1t is probably true that in a
disorganized nation the average intel
ligent man. If he be reared in poverty,
will fail to rise TO his level, but 1t is
equally true that the man of genius,
however harsh his circumstances may
be, will find his level as certainly as
water does.

SOUTH FORK ON TEAR

The South Fork rose from normal
TO the highest flood stage known to
the oldest inhabitant within hall
hour during the heavy downpoui
early Saturday morning.
The worst of the storm had con-
tinued for some time over the upper
l,art of the valley before its effect
was felt down stream. The gullles
and dry runs at the head of the valley
were soon filed and in no time the
river itself was spread from one side
OF the valley to the other, carrying
bridges, fences. debris of all kinds,
ard even some live stock before it.
The storm ended as suddenly as 1t
he'd begun, and soon there were doZ-
ems of townspeople gathered to watch
the flood.
The bridge at the Standish fGrnl'
on the Ellsworth road, was saved ~
the fact that the greater volume OF
water followed a direct course over
the road this side of the bridge. The
one at Ped Pederson's was lifted
bodily and carried almost intact for
q long distance down stream.
The mighty torrent which leaped
over the Cascade Mills dam was
magnificent sight. The Park bridge
was carried out in two sections, one
floating directly across the kinnic-
kinnic into the power plant tail race,
and the other part swinging in to-
ward shore on the south side, where
it was salvaged and moored to tree.
Til mother stream, the kinnlckin-
mic. was not effected by the storm.
