CAVE HAS STRANGE PROPERTY
Peculiar Conditions in Cavern on Ia
hti Have Never Been Satisfac-
torly Explained.

About q kilometers from Papeete,
Tahiti, is a large opening in the side
of a mountain called the Cave of Ma
raa. 1t is the reputed burial place of
a powerful wizard of old, the spell of
whose entertainments still broods over
the tavern. The particular manifesto
ton which interests passersby is the
impossibility of striking the opposite
wall of the cave with a stone, although
70 the eye the feat seems the easiest
of undertakings. Most newcomers
laugh at the legend and start out with
an easy throw, only to see the missile
drop in thetwater apparently but a
few feet away.
Then they warm TO the work and
exert all the force that is in them,
and, at last making sings, strive with
all their might to overcome the power
of the old warlock; but to no avail
The stones drop ANONYMOUSLY In the
water as If some unseen hand had
caught them in midair and cast them
down in the center of the cavern. The
reason has never been explained sat
factorily.-Chicago Journal.

English Sparrows Eat DandeIions.

AT least one good mark may be set
down for the English sparrow, so COM
monty regarded as pest. He is fond
of the seeds of dandelion, and when the
flowers have given place to the fuzzy
"blow-balls" spends much of his time
cleaning them from the lawn. In this
country, as in England, the sparrow is
also fond of young peas, and often
ruins the early crop by picking off
flowers and leaves. In some Chicago
suburbs it is now impossible to raise
peas without protecting them with
net. Whether the sparrows' good Of
fees in Kidding the lawn of dandelions
will offset his attack on the peas is
a problem.-Science Service.

HAVE OLD .CAVEMAN INSTINCT
Lovers, in the Orient, Primitive In
Their Methods Of Demon
strating Affection.

There are all sorts of ways of en-
pressing affection. The Mainichi, a
Japanese journal, reports the case of
policeman at Hiroshima, who fell
in love with restaurant maid and
when she seemed cold endeavored to
convince her of his passion and may
hap light an answering flame by
thrusting her in the calf of her leg
with his official sword. He might go
further and issue a manual on how
to make love, suggests our contempt
rary.. The case of the policeman in
question Is doubtless a survival of
atavism, being relic Of the good old
days in the paleolithic age, when the
cave man was wont to demonstrate
his affection for his affinity by occa-
sional raps on the damsels head with
a bludgeon, says the Shanghai Times.
The submagistrate of Chowghat In
India has just disposed Of an unusual

women of Guruvuyur, mother and
daughter, charged three Nair youths
with having removed portion of the
roof of the compliments house and
dropped carcass Of crocodile

which the younger woman slept. The
motive alleged was revenge, because
overtures of the accused had been re-
iected An occidental would have

HER LIFE AN INSPIRATION
Oifficulties Overcome by Helen Keller
Should Shame Any One From
Discouragement.

Mark Twain once said, "The two
most interesting characters of the
Nineteenth century are Napoleon and
Helen Keller" Helen Keller, the De-
troit News recalls, was a normal child
until 10 months old. At that time a
serious illness left her blind, deaf
and dumb. Even during these early
years in the dark she learned many
things through the sense of touch. Her
chief playmates were a little Deelored
girl and an old setter dog.
She was nearly seven years old
when teacher was found to under
take what seemed an impossible task.
This teacher, Miss Anne Sullivan, be-
gan at once to talk into her little
pupils hand with her fingers. The
first word Miss Sullivan spelled into
her hand was "doll"; the next word
was cake" The words were quickly
spelled back, even before the little girl
knew what they meant. Very soon,
however, the spelled words with the
hand language were connected with
real doll and real cake. Within a
month she knew thirty words and
could talk them back with her fingers.
AS soon as she grasped the thought
that all objects have names she
learned very fast. Within three months
her vocabulary had increased to about
300 words, and within year to 900
words. She is now a noted writer
and lecturer.

The seed is sown in rows at least
30 inches apart if horse cultivation is
practiced but under hand cultivation
they need not be more than 10 to Is
inches. Ordinarily about pounds
of beet seed per acre is required. Seed
is ordinarily covered to a depth of
u to l inch. AS beet seed is rather
slow in termination, the practice OF
sowing some quicksprOutinS seed
along with it is sometimes followed
These plants serve as markers for the
rows before the beets are up, so that
cultivation may be begun before the
heets show above the ground. Radishes
are frequently used for this purpose

is inevitable that thinning by hand

WAR INFLUENCE seen
IN DOMESTIC LIFE
OF ENGLISH PEOPLE
(Rv Associated Pressl

LONDON, July 6.-Since Easter the
divorce courts have been working at
high pressure to clear off an unprece-
dented accumulation of arrears,
which, added to a steady stream of
new cases, threatened at one time to
overwhelm the physical capacity of
the bench.
1t needed the assistance of a num-
Der of retired judges to make head,
way against the avalanche of suits,
with the result that they have been
disposed of at the average rate of two
score or more per day.
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Birken-
head, himself lent assistance by acting
as an ordinary judge in the courts. Re-
viewing the position, he said:
THE war has left a degree of IN
rest which has spread into almost
every sphere of modern life, and the
Influence of which is likely to be felt
for an indefinite period in domestic
relationships.

Investigation by the authorities

in the building had been distinguished
before President Leguia and his assis-
tants left the palace on Sunday after
noon, and reports that explosions were
heard in the building shortly before
the fire was discovered, have been cor
