of the boy and girl who were looking
for the House of Secrets. You know
they were in search of adventures so as
to find out how they could become
great, and they thought riches, too,
might help them,
'They found road at the end Of the
woods, but it seemed unending as they
trudged along. They could see it wind

miles and miles, but they could see no
house of any sort at the end. For they
could see no end to the road.
Neither could they see any house
along the road which by any chance
might be the House of Secrets.
81 don't believe there is such a
thing said the boy.
"'Still,' said the girl, we must find
something or some one who will tell us
what we are to do if we are to have
our wishes granted. Some one will
have to tell us how we must start out

"The manner in which plants travel
about the world or are distributed is
problem of great interest to biolo-

Flowers Taken From Mountain Tops

Chicago.-At a lecture given before
an assemblage of geographers and
biologists representing several socie-
ties, DIR. d. L. MacDougal, director Of
the Botanical research department of
the Carnegie institution at Washing
ton, described the results of a series
of experiments extending over four
teen years and embracing 139 species
of plants, the experiments tending to
show that the wild plant Is not al
ways found in the environment most
suited to 1t.
"a great many people think this"

found to be absolutely false"
Grow More Luxuriantly.
With stations established at four
different attitudes. 5000 feet $500
feet, 1890 feet and at sea level, plants
have been transferred from one place
to another. and the results Of the cul-
tural experiments of fourteen years
have now been complied.
In these experiments plants from the
mountain tops, some from a height of
close to one and one-half miles above
sea level, were, found to grow much
more luxuriantly, producing more
leaves, flowers and fruits at sea level
than they had In their native habitat.
These plants were not cultivated, pro-
tected or fostered in any way in their
new situations. Once placed. they
were to all intents and purposes wild
flowers and had to fight their own bat
ties and take chances as before.

New York.-America has success
fully maintained her leadership in the
navigation of the air, SO far as heavier
than air craft are concerned, despite
the lack of aerial laws, landing fields
and other such handicaps, according
to a review of the year 1920, issued
by the Manufacturers Aircraft asso-
citation. The review says:
Decreased production and a gen.
eral contraction in the aeronautical
industry generally is offset by the
more encouraging records of perform
ance made in American aviation this
year. While the last twelve months
have not brought the carefully out
lined policy of federal jurisdiction re-
quired TO assure steady and economical
progress In commercial aviation, they
have witnessed many remarkable
achievements By American pilots in

Years Performances.
Then follows long,, detailed list
Of performances, among them the fol-
lowing:
Commander A. c. Read, hero of
the transatlantic flight In the NC-4,
commanded the same flying boat on a
noteworthy expedition from Rock
away, L. l., down the Atlantic coast,
along the gulf coast and up the Mis-
sissippi river to Cairo, Ill. When the
NC-A raturnad RI RonEawov Iopuorv
u last 1t had flown 7,740 nautical
miles. Three of the four Packard
Liberty engines had operated without
trouble during the 11S hours in the
air, the fourth more than eighty-twO
hours. Along the Mississippi the
motors were run on commercial gaso-
line picked up from point to point en-
route. Read reported that the great
est difficulty encountered was lack of
proper maps.
Compared to long-flight attempts
conducted by European governments
the American ventures were particu-
larry successful. No less than four
expeditions attempted to fly the 5,2O6
miles from Cairo to Capetown, South
africa. Colonel P. Van Ryndveld
and Major C. ]. o. Brand finally COM
bIeted their flight on March 20, 1920,
IN q DH-9 plane sent up by the gov
eminent of the Union of South Africa
after their Vickers-vimy machine had
crashed. They had set out from Cairo
February 10. None of the machines
that started reached Capetown.
Different success attended the
Alaskan flying expedition of the Unit
ed States Army Air service. Four
Gallaudet remodelled DH-4-B planes,
each powered with single Liberty
motor, and each carrying two per-
sons flew from Mitchell Field, L. l., to
Nome, Alaska, and return in 112 hours
flying time, total distance of 1900
miles. without a motor missing fire or
other accident serious enough to de-
lay the party. Rain and fog caused
most of the difficulty in flying over

forward, vines and all, and the first
child shouted:
