MUSHROOMS.

and of these all but a few dozen are
edible.
Austria, prior to the war, export

the fungi annually to the United
States, and is said TO be once more

Gently overfowed the rim of its ac-

activity and brilliance.
Following weeks of steady rising
of the lava in the pit of Halemau-
mau, the "House of Fire." the
molten column reached the rim and
poured over it toward the southeast
side of the great crater, while stimuli
taneously another lava stream burst
through the crater floor some dis
lance from the first.
Hundreds Of fire fountains began
playing on the numerous lava lakes
and sheets Of flame gushed intermit-
tently from beenath the crust sur
face. Along the main line of the
old rift which the new flow is fol-
lowing several lava cones or small
craters have formed, and these add
to the weird scene, with their thun-

BY LAND AND THROUGH AIR
Messages Now Being Sent to France
From England by Wireless and
Telegraph Systems.

A linking up Of wireless and tele-
graph systems by which wireless
communication with Paris will be
made universal has just been COM
pleted in England. 1t is now pos
sible to hand in wireless messages
for Paris at any post office in the
United Kingdom and have them
transmitted at rate of 5 cents a
word.
The linking up is done without
relays, as the working Of the tele-
graph key in Paris sends the mes
sage automatically over the land
wire, transmits it to the air and ulti-
mately joins the land wire again,
operating the receiving taps at the
Fenchurch street Office in London.
Many other new wireless develop
ments are being made. Recently the
foundation stone of what will be the
most powerful radio station in the
world was laid at Sainte Assise,
France. It will be able to commune
cate with America, the Far East
and Australia. Experts are now
hoping to establish the same sort Of
wireless communication With Amer
lea that has just been put in force
in Paris messages.

STILL THE WINNER.

The other night young man was
visiting his best girl, and he stayed
on and on until she became very
sleepy indeed. Also she had to
work the next day and thought it
time to give him hint that it was
time for him to go home. Finally
she said: Don't you think you had
better phone for taxi to go home
in? It's SO late now and there have
been several robberies out in this
part Of town after midnight"
The young man was visibly
pleased at her suggestion. "Oh, yes,
please do" he returned. '1'm not
afraid, but the taxi will take me
home so much faster than / can
walk that can stay at least an hour
longer"

ELEPHANT LIKES cocoNUTs.

daisy" the African elephant in
the Kapiolani park zoo in Honolulu,
has developed into complete copra
plant, according to recent visitors
to the bungalow in the park where
Daisy lives.
Visitors say that the big pachy-
derm has developed the husking of
green coconuts to fine art, with a
speed Of one every two minutes. 1t
usually takes novice at husking
coconuts anywhere from ten min
utes to an hour to break into one
with a hammer and chisel.
Daisy's interest in her new in
dustry lies in the fact that when the
coconut is husked she cracks the
shell and allows the sweet milk to
triekle down her elephantine outlet.

HOW WATERsP0UT IS FORMED



The travelling whirlwind that
seizes upon the under side of dense
cloud and draws it downward in a
funnel-shape to the water below pro-
duces the waterspout by rapid con-
densation OF vapor, and the spout is
found to be fresh water even when
formed over a salt water surface.
Yet the illusion of water drawn up
into the cloud is the most striking
detail commonly noted. A huge
waterspout lately noticed by the
Meteorological Magazine formed
over the Indian ocean near the
equator ON a day of fine weather and
smooth sea, and was seen from a
ship five miles away. 1t was 1900
feet high, the width tapering from
500 feet at the clouds margin to
$50 feet at the sea surface. The
waterspout had the appearance Of
column or core inclosed in a tube
with sloping sides The column
seemed to be water ascending, and
the walls Of the tube were evidently
water falling. At the end Of 10
minutes the walls broke, the central
column appearing to be drawn up
into the cloud

WOULD PUT SPIDER TO WORK
Effort Being Made in Madagascar to
Induce Insect to Spin Material

The worm is proverbially the last
of created things to turn against
the tyranny of those who seek to
coerce it, and the silkworm is evil
IDENTIFY no exception to the rule, for
it has for ages been patiently labor
ing to crafty human vanity. Not
so the spider, however, whose beau-
tiful silk has not yet been similarly
applied, simply because that willy in
sect refuses to work to order.
But determined onslaught upon
his pride and prejudices has been
made in Madagascar, where a regu-
lar factory has been started to make
silk dresses from spider web. The
old difficulty has still to be faced,
however, and time alone will show
whether man or the spider is to be
the victor.
The spiders, which spin luxuri-
ously in their native groves, sulk or
fight or devour their young or 9TH
erwise act up when brought to the
factory, but they will not work ex-
cept occasionally, when the mood
happens to strike them. Then they
sometimes spin for days at a time
and die of overwork.

ing carefully studied.-Philadel

MANS DEBT TO THE WORM.

The first great colonists of the
land, said Pref. J. Arthur Thomp-
son during the course of lecture at
the Royal institute, London, were
worms. Mankind should look back
to them with gratitude, because they
began with the profitable habit Of
moving with one end of the body al
ways in front-a habit which was
the beginning of a more vigorous
life and opened up a great process
which has resulted in one being able
to tell ones right hand from ones
left"
