Twins and Quadruplets.

Once in while one reads about a
birth of bankruptcies. Very rarely
quintuplets are born, and there have
even been instances of sextuplets
When four or more babies come into
the world at a BIRTH almost never do
more than three of them survive. A
tendency to the production of twins is
undoubtedly hereditary; it runs in
families. A woman whose mother and
grandmother have borne twins may
fairly be expected, if married, to bring
one or more pairs into the world That
curious armored mammal, the arma-
dillO common in Texas and Mexico,
nearly always produces four young at
birth; and the most remarkable
thing about them is that they are
identical" bankruptcies. e., pro-
duced by the splitting of a single fer
tilted cell. The phenomenon of split
ting is known to occur only in the ar
madillO and in man. Identical human
twins (produced by a single celD are
very exceptional, but not extremely
rare. They are in effect duplicates of
one individual, and might almost be
said to share a common identity. Or
binary "fraternal' twins may be more
or less alike, but identical twins resem-
BILE each other so closely that it is hard
to tell them apart.

.HlLLIEST OF WORLDS CITIES
tons, outranks Any of the Gen.
tiers Of Population.

As to the question of the seven seas,
perhaps it is contributing little to
similar geographical information to
refer to the seven hills of Rome and
to say that many descriptions of San
Francisco incorrectly speak of San
Francisco on her seven hills"
AS matter of accuracy says the
writer Of letter to the editor of the
New York Herald, San Francisco is
the hilliest of the worlds large cities.
Occupying the end of a fifty-mile-long
peninsula, which is fanked on the
ocean side by the Pacific and on the
inland side by the southern arm of
San Francisco bay, the city itself COW
ers rumpled billy area of approxi-
mately 10000 acres, as compared with
the $4,000 acres of Manhattan island.
The city contains not just seven
hills but total of f0rty-four The
highest of them, Mount Davidson. is
957 feet Two at the apparent end of
the main business street, under which
the thoroughfare passes by long tunnel,
are 72S and 49, feet and are called
Twin Peaks, to the summit of which
there is a scenic automobile drive.
Strawberry hill, in the middle of Gold
en- Gate park, which is a third larger
in area than New YOrk's Central park,
is a conical hill 420 feet high, and 1t
is girdled half way up by pleasure
lake, while Lone mountain, famed these
last eighty years as the site of mass
i've sixty-foot cross upon it's summit,
also is 420 feet high.
Practically all of the fOrty-four hills
of San Francisco are almost twice as
high as any hill in Rome and nearly
all of them are about twice as high
as the Acroplis hill in Athens or Wash
ingtOn Heights in New York or the
river bluffs of Hoboken or West New
York on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson.

Improved Paint Spray Guns.

Painting or vanishing by the spray
method has so clearly proved its ad.

use are of general interest. A spray
ing nozzle, of automatic-pistol form,
now being made IN Missouri, handles
all kinds of liquid coatings, including
heavy asphalt paint, with pressures Of
80 pounds and less. One model is
made to fit the top of an ordinary

SPRING NARROWING OF WIN
TER GRAIN OF LITTLE VALUE
(By Professor Sievers, State Col
lege Soils Department.

Even though the fundamental
principles in support of certain till
age practices have been firmly es-
tablished we often times lose out
when we attempt to make the prop
er application. The practice of har-
rowing winter grain in the spring IS
one that has been followed success
fully in the great plains region and
in the corn belt of the United Std-cs
and it was considered reasonable to
suppose that this practice would pro-
duce similar results III Eastern
Washington. For this reason har-
rowing was introduced here and is
followed by some of the best farm
ers in this section in spite of the
fact that results from experiments
conducted at Pullman. Lind and Wa
terville show conclusiyely that here
are either no increases in yield de-
rived or otherwise the increases are
so limited that they do not Justify
the expense involved in supplying
essary. Why this difference in re-
suits? Let us compare Eastern
Washington with the Great Plains
and corn belt region from the stand
point of railfall distribution. East
of the Rockies the rainfall comes
in intermittent showers during the
early spring period. This does not
give the moisture much change to
penetrate the soil and unless it is
conserved much of it will be evapo-
rated before the plant can use it..
BY narrowing this soil after the rain
a shallow mulch is formed which will
retard the rise of capillary water
until the grain has made sufficient
growth to practically cover the
ground In Eastern Washington all
precipitation is received during the
dormant season and after spring
once opens up there are no more
showers. This allows the surface
soil to dry out early and to remain
dry and even though compact this
condition is just as effective in the
conservation of moisture as a loose
mulch. The roots of the winter
wheat plant take the moisture out
of the soil just as rapidly as they
extend and develop downward and
there is no chance for any moisture
to be lost by evaporation as long as
there is no rain to wet the surface
soil, be this soil either loose or COM
pact. Spring narrowing of winter
grain does not aid in the conserva-
ton of moisture in Eastern Wash
ingtOn and consequently should not
be practiced for this purpose. There
is really only one condition where
it is justified and that is where the
winter grain has come up we'll in
the spring and there is danger of a
heavy crust forming, thus prevent
ing the young plants from coming
through. If this is the case the grain
field should be narrowed Just as
soon as the moisture content of the
soil is such that the crust begins to
form but can still be broken up with
a light spike tooth harrow.

KEEPING OvER-AGE
PUPILS IN SCHOOL
(By Helen Schwartze)

Why do average boys and girls
usually quit school before they COM
plete the high school grades? Gen
orally speaking, the reason is that
they can not see any connection be-
tween their studies and future oc-
cupation. They become tired of the
ordinary school subjects such as
arithmetic and grammar, and want
something different to do.
Such pupils, as a usual thing, take
great interest in agriculture, home
economies, commercial work, man
ual training and other subjects of
an industrial nature, when those sub
jects are provided. This fact is one
of the bases for the present junior
high school movement which aims to
provide work of an industrial nature
for pupils in the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades.
Over-age pupils in these grades
who are two or three years behind
their grade almost invariably drop
out of school The junior high
school offers such pupils training
that not only keeps them in school
but also prepares them for future
vocation to some extent.
There are 26 average boys and
girls in the seventh, eighth and
ninth grades of the Pullman schools,
according to Dr. A. A. Douglass of
the State College This fact was
discovered in an investigation which
was made by the members of the
class in Junior high school under
the direction of Dir Douglass to find
out if there were any average pu-
pills in the local schools who would
be benefited by different type of
school work
Questionnaires were given out to
all of the pupils in the seventh,
eighth and ninth grades. These
aimed to find out the age of each
pupil, the school subjects best liked,
the subjects most disliked, the yo-
cation each wished to follow and
how long each expected to go to
school
All of the pupils were asked to
list their favorite subjects to deter
mine whether there was any connec-
tion between the subjects liked and
the vocations chosen. There seemed
to be little indication of any connec-
ton between the two since both boys
and girls preferred the same sub
iects and disliked the same subjects.
The reasons given by the boys
and girls for liking and disliking
subject all told the same story. They
liked those subjects that were Gin
teresting" or easy or that they
thought had some practical value
They dislilIed those which were
hard, 'uninteresting, or which
seemed to have no practical value"
The younger pupils saw little
connection between their studies aud
future occupations" said DR.. Doug
lass, but the boys who expect to
be farmers and who are taking man
ual training and agriculture, showed
clearly that they recognized the con
nection between these studies and
farming"
The results of the survey point TO
the need for providing more work
of an industrial nature in the
seventh, eighth and ninth grades,
particularly for those pupils who are
average; and also for guidance in
the choice of yocations during thlt
period in order that the pupils may
see some definite relation between
the work of the school room and
the vocation they expect to enter
later.
