ANCIENT HARP3 or IRELAND

C4&an Timea

The ancient Irish harp was OF two
ktnds--a small instrument used chiefly
for religious purposes, first by the old
Druids in their rites, and later By the
Christian bishops and abbots. The
other harp was large, and was used
to public assemblies and IN battles
The bagptpes were irSrQduced into
Ireland from Caledonia. They had
the same use In the Irish armies they
now have IN the Highland regiments.
But the Irish made In the course Of
time, an improvement, using bellows

mouth, and continued improving the
instrument untq the union-pipes Of to-
day are the result .'> 81
As to early Irish harpers and their
pusle there Is little known, but at
Queen Elizabeth's court, Irish tunes
were popular. Or late huge books Of
ancient Irish melodies have been COZ
lected and arranged petrte has at

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
How Much Material That Has Hereto

Now Utilized.

In the wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
uots laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
OF high grades of paper. The cores
Of many kinds Of veneer logs, now
used In large part for fuel, make ex-

part Of the clippings could be turned
into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose

comments the Scientific American, are
red gum, yellow poplar, cottonwood,
birch, tupelO, Eastwood and beech.
Many veneer factories cutting these
species are already within shipping
distance of pulp mills. In certain 9TH

grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
of centrally located mill. Other eco

mill could probably operate on a

TO CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST
Britieh Royal Geographical Society
Said to Dc Contemplating Am
bilious Expedition.

Enormous interest has been aroused
by the announcement that the Royal
Geographical society contemplates fit
ting out an expedition to attempt the
ascent Of Mount Everest, in the
Himalayas. For not only Is this the
highest mountain on the globe; but it
10 also the worlds mystery mountain.
Although 1t was discovered 20 years
ago, DO European has yet succeeded
In getting anywhere nearer than about
fifty miles to it, much less setting foot
on It's slopes
This Is because It SO happens that It
is situated partly In Nepal and partly
In Tibet, and the governments Of both
these countries object to the presence
OF European explorers.
Besides this the Nepal base Of the
giant mountain ia IN any case prac-
ucally unapprOachable, owing to the
dense jungle growth, extending for a
width CT 90 or 70 miles all round, and
into whose depths no white man may
venture and live.
The proposal now Is 70 attempt the
ascent from the Tbetau side, This Is
doubtless possible, but whether the
summit can be reached or not Is an
other matter.
Most experts say not and point to
the fact that the duke Of Abruzzi's
attempt to scale Mount Godwin-Aus-
tin, Everest's mighty neighbour and
the second highest peak In the world,
resulted In failure.
He assembled as far $4,000 feet, but
was then obliged to turn back. owing
to the difficulty Of breathing, due to
the extreme rarefaction Of the air
Mount Everest Is more than $4,000
feet high.

Wa With Japan

It won't down, and it won't
STAY cuiet when it is down-thls
old bugaboo about our having
war with Japan. We are hear
ing a good deal of it just now,
bat it is coming largely thru
fear, and partly thru polite
ians who have an axe to grind:
There is possibility, Of
course, that we are going to
have some very serious quest
ions to settle within the next
few months, questions involv-
ing our relations with both Jap
an and Mexico. But we do
pt believe, and we feel our cit
gers who are watching events
IoscIy will bear us out, that
hpan is as anxious to become
avojved in trouble with the u
nited States as q few politicians
and the lingo press would have
us believe. In fact, since she
had an opportunity in the
World War to get a slight idea
Of what we do, Japan is more
determined now than ever to
look before she leaps.
At the same time we are
waiting to see what steps the
new president Of Mexico will
take to restore friendship be-
tween his country and our own.
And we recognize too, that in
this instance moneyed interests
instead Of politicians, are large
ly responsible for the strained
relations which exist between
the two countries. But some
how we can't bring ourselves tc
feel that either Japan or Mex
co are going to be triCked into
trouble by q few men who are
anxious to bring about war fol-
