Circulating the Scriptures.

The 1919 issues of the American BIZ
BILE society were 1852, 300 volumes.
The sun never sets on the representa-
tives of this society, which asserts
that some one is busy every hour Of
the day and every day of the year cir
culating the Scriptures. This total
means that seven volumes were issued
every minute of every hour of every
day of the year. -s
The issues of 1919 were the small
est since 1911: chiefly because Of
after war conditions. The average
of annual issues for the last ten years
has been over 100000 volumes. For
the period of the war, 1914-1919, it
was over 5,ST0OOO, which means that
on an average IL volumes of Scrip
lures were issued every minute of the
years of the war by the American BIZ
BILE society.

RARE FRUITS IN PHILIPPINES
TWO That Are Said to Be Delicious
and Unknown in the Rest
of the World.

Among the productions of the Phil
ippine islands are two delicious fruits
almost unknown in the rest of the
world. One OF these IS the DURAN,
whose remarkable qualities were des-
canted upon by Alfred Russell Wal
lace during his explorations in the
Malay archipelago.
1t grows on a lofty tree somewhat
resembling an elm, is about as large
as a coconut, has a shiny shell, and
contains a creamy pulp which COM
bines some of the flavor of delicious
custard with those of fine cheese.
To eat durians, we are told by those
who know, is a new sensation worth
voyage to the East TO experience.
Americans in the islands call the du-
rian "the vegetable Limburger cheese"
The other rare fruit spoken of is the
mangcsteen. said TO be the only fruit
that TIE governor general of the is
lands has never tasted. The exquis-
itely favored liquid 1t contains cam

Gold Lacnuer for Eaetala

articles of white faetal, such as
CHAINS, rings, ETC., may be made to
appear like gold by this simple proc
ess: Boil one pint Of water and stir
into 1t two ounces Of timely powdered
sulphur Stir well, and boil up the
liquid once again. Next add one
ounce Of dragons blood. Filter through
a fine cloth TO remove any solid mat
ter that remains from the sulphur.
The articles to be colored are placed
with the liquid. in pan provided
with a close-fitting lid. and boiled for
about 10 minutes. at the end of which
time the objects will have taken on
fine gold color.

The Northern Liahts.

The name aurora borealis" was
first used by Cassendi, who, in 1921
observed one In France and wrote a
description of it. The aurora" is
periodic in its manifestations, the
finest displays being at intervals of GO
years, and less marked ones at inter-
walls of ten or eleven years. 1t is as
serted that the greater and lesser dis
plays correspond with the increase
and decrease of spots on the sun. This
phenomenon is generally manifested
In the following way: A dim light ap-
pears on the horizon shortly after
twilight and gradually assumes the
shape of an arch having a pale yellow
color, with it's cOncave side turned
earthward. From this arch streams of
light shoot forth, passing from yellow
To green and then TO brilliant violet
The name aurora borealls, while gen.
orally referring to the northern lights,
also is applied to similar phenome-
non visible in the vicinity of the
South pole.

New illumination.

Prof. Alexander Silverman has In
vented a new illumination for the mi
croscope, whose special advantage is
that 1t gives a very strong light upon
the object examined, so that Opaque
and translucent bodies can be as
readily studied as transparent ones.
The top of the object on the side can
be seen with all the variations of its
surface. 1t is particularly valuable
in testing samples of metals since 1t
shows the presence of blow holes and
visible. 1t is likewise useful to tex
tile experts since 1t shows the threads
of a fabric from every angle and is
also much appreciated by bacteriolo-
gists.

Robes Worn by Supreme Justices.

The justices of the United States
Supreme court have always worn the
black silk judicial gowns when on the
bench. In an earlier day they used the
ancient wigs, such rs still persist in
England. The wearing of the tradition.
al robes is not required by law, but is
custom sanctioned from time in1me-
mortal. President Lincoln compared
the justices, in their long, black robes.
to the long-winged black ants that used
to fly out from under the bark of the
logs when he was splitting rails. This
comparison. it is said, made some of
the justices very angry.

Floral Chineras.

There are orchids of the tropics
which exceed In strangeness of form
and splendor of color anything pro-
duced in conservatories. Among the
most remarkable of these plants are
those belonging TO the genus Masde-
vallia. One species closely initiates
the trunk of an elephant, and Is named
accordingly Masdevallia elephanticeps.
Another looks like flying pigeon. The
species to which the name "chimera"
is specially applied is very extraor-
binary. With what resembles two
slender legs and a f1ail-like trunk up
raised from its head, the flower
startles the beholder with its resem-
.blance to some fantastic and mon
.Strous insect. The resemblances Of
vitese flowers to animals are so exact
hat even birds are sometimes de-
,eeiyed by them.

PLAN FOR WILSON FUND.
81, 600, 900 Foundation Subscrip-
tions to Be Received January 10.

January 16 next was announced last
night from New York as the Opening
of the period In which popular sub
scriptions will be received toward an
endowment of 100000. according
to announcement by Cleveland H.
Dodge, chairman Of the national ex-
ecutive committee of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation.
"Thirty-seven states are now well
under way in organizing in behalf of
the foundation, which is to perpetuate
Woodrow Wilson's ideals of democ-
racy." Mr.. Dodge said, "and reports
from the remaining eleven states are
indicative Of a complete national or
ganisation in a very few weeks.
For that reason the national ex-
ecutive committee feels justified in
designating January 16, 1922, as the
time at which subscriptions will be
asked for the permanent endowment.
AS previously announced, the income
from this endowment will be used to
grant awards for 'meritorious serv-
Ice to democracy, public welfare, lib
eral thought or, peace through JUS
tice.' The response to the idea has
been splendid, and all indications are
that the movement to give the United
States its own Nobel prizes will be
highly successful"
