Great Waterspout.

Particulars are published in the Me- neurological Magazine of great wa terspout that correspondent ob- served south of Cape ComOrin on a day when the weather was fine and the sea smooth. The waterspout formed between a russet-gray cloud and the sea nearly five miles from the ship. At first the distance between the base of the cloud and the surface of the sea was 4,800 feet, and the width of the column tapered from 300 feet at its juncture with the cloud to 150 feet at the sea. The vortex ap- peared to >be tube with tapering sides and central column. The walls seemed to consist of water moving downward and the central column of water ascending. The phenomenon lasted for 13 minutes; then the walls appeared to ascend into the cloud.

New Airpiane.

Builders of the "bst-wlng" airplane have designed the new craft to over come the resistance of struts, wires and fuselage that in. the usual type of machine consumes almost three quarters of the engine power. The new design, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, is a great double cambered airfOil that terminates at right and left in the conventional ailerOns and that tapers In the rear to tail that has the usual elevator and rudder.
 The aerofOil measures 100 feet from tip to tip and swells in the front to a thickness of seven feet. In that bulge is a cabin 30 feet long, eight feet wide and six feet in height. The new plane is an internally trussed cantilever structure covered with wood veneer so tough that the wing surfaces can be walked upon.

Overheard at the Movies

His wife had severe headache, and was sadly in need of quiet, so husband said he would take their small daughter to the movies, and for her to retire early.
 It was all one 10 him, as he had not consulted any program, and they en- tered the first theater in their path way, an unfortunate selection, for if was one of the sex-prOblem plays. the principal characters uncongenial and seemingly with good grounds for di- vOrce because of incompatibillty.
 The little maiden, after time, caused litter of laughter among the audience near her by saying in shrill little treble: "She doesn't seem to like married life, does she, papay'
 The play proceeded and after an ap- parently violent outburst of temper on the part of the feminine star, the little girls voice again rent the air with : Mamma acts just that way some times. doesn't she, papaT'

Mark Twain's Elephant.

Most of us receive white elephants at Christmas. minus trunks and tails, but Mark Twain, the American hu- morist, actually received an elephant one Yuletide. Just before the fes- tive season great friend wrote and told him if he was willing to accept an elephant as token of his regard, 1t would arrive in due course. Whether Mark looked upon the whole thing as q joke or not one cannot say, but he answered the letter by return mail. thanking his friend for the offer, and agreeing to accept the animal. First, huge supply of hay was delivered, then an elephant trainer was an nounced to inspect the premises, to see that there was proper accommoda- ton for the beast. and finally, the aDi- maj itself appeared upon the scene. It was a very fine specimen, and, to the casual observer. 1t might have come straight from India. However, on Its new master closely inspecting 1t, he found his Christmas present was most beautifully modelled of cardboard. An amusing practical joke, but somewhat expensive.

Faulty Diet.

In an investigation of 227 diets sup posed to be typically American, Prof. H. c. Sherman of Columbia university has found that only one was deficient in protein. while 37 were lacking in calcium. If each of the low-energy diets was increased to 5000 calories, none would lack protein, but seven per cent would still have too little cal cium. The needed calcium carbonate or phosphate can best he supplied by foods rich in lime. Of these milk has the advantage of increasing the high grade proteins and providing the es- sential fat.sOluble ,vitarnine.

coIo.saI Farms in Aroentins

Our American farms seem diminu- tive compared with those of Argen- tina. There the farm of two hundred thousand acres is common. Many are twice that size, and there Is a record of at least one three times as large It is not unusual for a whole day to be consumed on the train in crossing the land of single proprietor.
 The old cowpuncher days of our West are being repeated here. Look Ing from the window of the train one may often count twenty thousand cat tie within an hour. Also he will see thousands of sheep and scores of os- triches. But one thing he will not see-barns. In land where it is not too cold for animals to be out all the year rouDd, and where there Is no need to cut and store hay because hay grows 12 months in the year, barns are unnecessary.
 At every station one will see cor rals and pens for convenience in load ing the cattle cars. Every day trains from all parts of the republic arrive at the great packing plants near Buenos Aires with their burden of restless animals.-Willard Price in the Christian Herald.

Alarm Clock a. Euo uros.

Councilman Lester LutZ is some what of chicken fancier, writes a Berwick (Pa.) correspondent of the New York Tribune Recently he tried the experiment of placing in his chicken pen electric lights that would switch on at four o'clock in the morning. He believed 1t would re- suit in getting more eggs from the hens. That stunt didn't work. because the chickens failed to be aroused, even by the light in the pen, but Lutz thought further than that.
 He got an alarm clock and put that in the pen, so 1t would ring every morning at four o'clock, the same time the lights were switched on.
 Formerly I was getting only six eggs day from pen of 20 Leg horns" said Lutz. Now I am get ting 12. IS and IA eggs a day from the same hens"
 He invites visitors to come to his pen and see the electric lighting sys- tenn and the alarm clock.

Helped To Create a Nation.

There recently died in Los Angeles, William Gooding, reputed to be the last of the famous pony express riders. The preseiit generation knows lit- tie about those pioneer times and the wonderful way news was carried across the ,smtthent during the ten years immediately prior to the build ing of the Union and Southern Pacific lines. which met at PiOmontory Point. Utah, in 1888. Mail and newspapers took from a month to fifty days to cross the continent prior to the estab- lishment of tine pony express which began its service April Ia, 1859, re- ducing the time to ten days. Relay stations with change of mounts were established at short distances, depend ing upon the topography of the coun- try, and each rider would ride at top speed from one to the other, change horses in trice aud go on. Human endurance was pressed to the limit.
 As an Illustration of the speed made, the last message of President Bu- ehanan to congress, in December, 1860. was carried to San Francisco in eight days and two hours. In 1863 the trans continental telegraph line was com pleted and all news thereafter went by wire. except such as the papers on the coast clipped from eastern papers which arrived by mail. When the rail roads were completed both the pony express and the later overland stage went into the discard, remaining, how ever, on short tributary routes for a number of years some for many years. There are many tales told of the daring and nerve of those hardy and courageous drivers of the stages, passing, as they did, fearlessly through hostile Indian. country and not infre- quently suffering death al the hands of war parties, in spite of the efforts made by the government to give them military protection. These are of the same character of tales which mark the progress of American civilization, from Plymouth Rock to Seal Rocks, in subdulng the wilderness and creating a great nation.

BEING STRAIGHT.

Nothing can rome of it--not beinA straight, The blossoms and beauty and goodness of fate Are born for the lowly, the humble and wise Who keep the clean faith of the infinite skies. And manly and upright in honor of deed Making living life straight the real core of their creed. Nothing can come of it-not being right. The joy and the laughter and music and light Are made for the fellows who stand in the sun And are never ashamed of the things they have done And are proud to have battled with self and come through As sweet and clean and as fresh as the dew. Nothing can come of it-not being square. The birds and the blossoms, the trees and the air Are meant for the strugslers who stand forth and cry They've right to look up with their face to the sky. For with them the old justice and kind ness and truth Have kept them clean hearted fin old age and youth.

PHILLIPS, A MAN OF
 DAUNTLESS SPIRIT

History teens with records of great enterprises carried through with cour- age and strong purpose. The early settlement of Australia provides . good example of this. Capt. Arthur Phillip. the first governor of New South Wales, unObtruslvely set sail from the Isle of Wight. on May morning in 1787, with II ships, mostly .ll-equipped, and so started. inaus- piciously, on his 12,O0O miles voyage to the AntipOdes.
 It was not until eight months later that is on January 26. 17SS. that the expedition landed at Sydney cove. sit uated inside the world famous sydney Harbor. The anniversary of this his toric landing is punctlliously observed throughout the commonwealth as a public holiday. Captain Phillip, with every conceiv- able difficulty to face, including nn- suitable settlers, great shortage of food and every kind of equipment. yet weathered the storm. His every re- port home was couched in Scheery spirit. Most of the seed wheat and other grain had unfortunately become spoiled on the voyage out and things were looking bad. AnticipatiOns of help were centered on the impending arrival of the relief ship which was due early in 1790. but the vessel struck an iceberg near the cape. and the car go had to go overheard to save the ship, which was then compelled 10 re- turn to port. This even necessitated the strict rationing of the settlers. In writing home, the governor referred to his desperate situation as 'these little difficulties which we have en. countered."
 Such was the man who initiated the settlement of Australia. His attitude toward the natives demonstrated at once hIs humanity and statesmanship, for he showed them great kindness and did his best 10 establish friendly relations between them and his set tiers. Ultimately the settlement four ished and formed the nucleus of the commonwealth as 1t is known today and Mus well has Governor Phillip earned the distinction of being in- cluded in the roll of honor of the Men Who Built the Empire"

Satisfied With the Test.

Testing" corn liquor is one of the most frequent preIiminaries to con viviality these days, 1t Is rumored, al- legged, indicated and otherwise nOised abroad. Lightnin' that burns with a white flame Is supposed to be danger ous, to contain wood alcohol, and to otherwise be undesirable; shine that burns blue is supposed to be the hon. est effort of a master-maker of spirits. Sometimes, however. zeal for drink overc0mes caution, even of this un- certain sort. with the result that the following occurred few nights ago.
 Two young brothers in mild iniQuity secured themselves a pint. They, be- ling fairly law-abiding in other re. spects. went to their room to drink 1t. They drank it. at least, most of 1t, and became somewhat affected by its presence with them. They undressed, turned out the light and retired. After about 20 minutes, one aroused himself and called to the other.
 Say, wake up. we didn't test that liQuOrw rt

TRAPPER DENOUNCES
 BOUNTY ON EAGLES

Next to the American Indian, the most practical naturalist in the world is the modern packer. He lets noth- Ing get away After the packer we should place the prospector. hunter or trapper who makes his living among wild creatures and is obliged to know their habits. It chances that there is just in hand rugged And outspoken letter from one of these latter practi- cal naturalists who never took de- gree except in the school of out of doors. says writer in the Saturday Evening Post He writes from the heart of Alaska. far down the Yukon river. and makes outspoken continent on the present tendency to the extir- patton of wild species by means of bounties and the like.
 Tn his blunt speech he says that as for killing eagles at 70 cents head he is of the belief 1t would he better to put the bounty on the men who made the law. 4"
 This practical naturalist has counted thirty-six dead caribou calves on the early spring bed grounds near his home. He works where thousands of caribou calves are born each spring, lives among them and watches them. He says there were plenty of eagles about. but that he never saw them eat anything but the calves they found already dead He says they may Kill some weak calves or those about to die, but so far as he has learned In his travels in Alaska and Yukon ter ritory he has never seen any harm the eagle has done, although he has lived in that region for twenty five years and Is familiar with 1t from the Mac kenxie to the Boring sea and from the Arctic ocean to Lynn canal.
 "I am not a saloon or rOadhOuse prospectOr." he says, but am in the hills 330 days out of the 385. am not a naturalist and have not much educa- tion. but if couldn't make better conservation laws than some we have, d- if I wouldn't quit. would like to have some of our lawmakers out in the hills for a while and show them that since the killing on of the eagles there is nothing left to do the scaven- ger work There is just as much sense ln killing the scavengers in the cities"
 There are getting to be good many men in this country who are weary of the sweeping and ghastly results of hystcria and who begin to hope for some horse sense upstairs-a good many who would like to see this couD- try left alone for while the way AL mighty Providence constructed 1t.
