Revival of the British Beard.

A young man about town walked
down Bond street in London recently,
and the sight so shocked the sensitive
British public that the London Daily
Chronicle saw fit to run the item as
a news item.
LIE Wes elegantly dressed, says the
of SIccadiIfy, While monocle reposed
in his right eye. But his beard was
the masterpiece OF the outfit. 1t was
very dark, it recalled the pictures of
the Stuart kings, and created a sem
saIion wherever it was seen.
The young man, except for his
beard, was Enthusiastically English.
Il don't think that boards for young
men are likely to be popular outside
the West end" hairdresser in the
neighborhood Of Bond street told a
Chronicle representative.
"But certain young men about town
appear TO be tired of looking like
stage heroes, and have decided 10
grow boards. A beard makes some
men look younger, and man who has
a weak mouth and chin which slight.

Alrplanes Sold for so Cents.

The British government recently
sold a number Of airplanes for 60
cents apiece at the Lincoln airdrome
disposal sale in London.
The machines had become out Of
date after several years of service
and had been junked, the wings and
the engines being removed. Neverthe-
less, the purchasers who paid 90 cents
for an airplane received the body Of
the machine with the copper fittings
and pipes, which in all originally cost
several hundred dollars.
The purchasers, for the greater
part, were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for firewood during the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along to buy plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scooters and homemade automo-
biles.

FIND SHIP IN HEART OF CITY
Hull Buried in San Francisco, Records
Show, Is Relic Of the Gold
Rush Days.

San Francisco discovered an old
wooden ship under the streets of its
business section recently, relates Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. Contrae-
tors, excavating a deep foundation for
a new skyscraper with steam shovels,
we're hindered In their work by strange
massive timbers found 80 feet below
the surface. They had accidentally
stumbled upon the preserved remains
of some strange buried craft,
The bronze-sheathed and copper
bolted hull measured 100 feet in
length by 80 feet beam, and great in
terest was aroused by the puzzling To-
cation of the relic mile from any
water. The city's history revealed,
however, that it was the Euphemia,
BIZ of whose historic and romantic
existence Is as follows;
In the days of 40, when the mad
stampede around the Horn TO the new
California gold fields was on, numer-
Gus sFi..s were abandoned by their
crews at the end of the journey, ana
left to rot on the mud flats of San
Francisco bay But, in forming the
municipal government of the fast
growing city by the Golden Gate, the
first town council bought the
Euphemia, and converted it into a
prison ship. Those were rough
DAYS in San Francisco and this, the
first jail the city could boast, was tied
to a wharf, and soon filled up.
An old sketch of the scene at this
part of the water front reveals an
other ship, the Apollo, converted into
saloon and lodging house. As the
city grew and forced the waters OF
the bay back from the spot by filling
in the shadows, the novel spectacle
was formed of strange ship sticking
up out of the ground in the heart OF
the city, surrounded by substantial
stone and brick structures.
During the next SO years, the city
attained great size. Then 1t was sud
denly half leveled by great fire. AND
had It not been for the necessity o.
a deep foundation for the latest edi
fee to rise over the spot, u years
after the Euphemia became Jail. the
old hull would have slumbered on fol
another fifty or one hundred years
AS 1t was, the contractors experienced
considerable difficulty in removing TIT
mud and sand-locked skeleton with
modern steam tackle, but made a small
fortune out of the sale of the heavy
copper and brass junk found on 1t.

ERUPTION of Flames on the Sun.

There was recently the biggest dis
turbance on the sun that astronomers
have ever happened to observe. II
seems TO have been an enormous erup-
ton, during which masses of flames
were thrown to height of hundreds of
thousands of miles
gigantic arch of fire. spanning a
large section of the suns edge Gas
seen through the telescope), rose, up
held, as 1t were, by two columns, one
at each end. Rising still higher, 1t
finally broke, assuming thereupon a
spiral form. The arch was al least
100000 miles high, and lasted four
months before ii disappeared.
Another eruption of flames, which
attained height of 100000 miles, oc-
Cured soon afterward, stretched like
rubber band, the middle part ris-
ing rapidly and the sides straighten-
ing so as TO form almost an isosceles
triangle.

Controlling Dreams.

There does not seem 10 be much
doubt among mental specialists that
dreams can be controlled to certain
extent. Don't have "downy' pillows,
which cause too much heat. They
should be low, thus relieving the work
Of the heart. Windows should be left
wide open. Let nervous children have
a night-light. These are among the
hints given by an expert to those who
would have pleasant dreams.

LAND OF BEAUTY
Traveller Writes Of Art Treasures
in Old Mexico.
Among Them, cathedrals and Churches
as Fine, or Finer, Than Any
Found Elsewhere,


The guileless tourist who throngs
European picture galleries, because he
is told it is the proper thing to do, will,
some day, when he has got 1t out OF
his head that Mexico is a nation entire
ly inhabited by murderers, find
that there are artistic treasures just
as worth while only little way across
the Rio Grande. There are a hun
bred great churches and cathedrals
more beautiful than any yet dreamed
of in his own country; there are pyr-
amids that rival Cheops and bas-re-
liefs as striking as anything Uneven
could show; above all, for those in
search of beauty in common things,
there are dozen handicrafts, the
products whereof would drive collec-
tors mad with rapture If they were
| bought in Naples or Ishpahan. Inc
| blanket serapes worn by the men are
familiar. chiefly through machine-made
| limitations; less so the rebosos worn
by the women; of special interest
as showing the blending of East ana
J West is the native pottery, as for ex-
ample, the beautiful Talavera and
Mudeiar ware. Although the intro
duction of this is usually ascribed to
the Dominican monks, its Spanish or
Arabic influence is, in actual fact,
merely overlaid upon the very much
more ancient native craft of which
examples are still preserved In the
National museum and elsewhere.
1t is safe to say that not one in
hundred persons If asked to name the
three finest equestrian statues in the
world would know that at least one
of them is to be found In Mexico. Ii
represents King Carlos Nv OF Spain
and is said TO have been the first
bronze statue ever cast In America.
II is without any question the finest
ranking second only to that Of Bar
tolommeo Colleoni In Venice, yet i
mention IL here, less for what Ii Is
than for what 1t represents.
The Mexican people unfortunately
for their reputation live in a country
of unparalleled fertility and wealth.
Were they only more enterprising and
business like they would long ago
have sacrificed its beauty TO the bene-
fit of their own pockets and thereby
gained the admiration Of their neigh
bors. Their cities, today mines OF
beauty in which you cannot walk
100 yards without passing some noble
church or palace fit for the Sleeping

mere humanity. Perhaps if the advo-
Gates of progress and efficiency at the
expense OF your neighbor have their
way, that day may still come. 1t will
be bad day for Mexico; it will be
an even worse day for the rest of the
western hemisphere, for 1t will herald
the final victory of materialism in the
| new world and the permanent disap
pearance of that religion of beauty
which is called art.-Oliyer Mado,

A LESSON FROM NATURE
1t is One of the Most Truthful
Teachers in the World.

There was time when it was
considered worth while to be decent
~ thoughtful of other people-de-
Gently courteous to individuals we
knew as well as to individuals in
fhe mass that we didn't know.
Today, the fashion appears to be
careless of everybody else's feelings
but our own and indignant of
Others who do not treat Us as we
refuse to treat them. Exhibitions
of selfiishness are common and get
there" regardless of the other fell
low, by force if necessary, is the
rule, especially among the young.
One sex is as bad as the other, with
exceptions of course.
In certain parts there is a wild
bee, with a wild Latin name which
we won't try to repeat, hut which
is familiar as the "bramble bee"
After the farmer has sheared off the
heads of brambles along comes the
velvety "bramble" bee, She picks
likely stalk, digs out the pith down
to the first knot, which stops her
progress. Then she fills this tube
clear to the top with cells, one at
a time, placing little honey IN
each cell and depositing an egg with
the honey.
The egg in the cell at the bottom
is laid first and you'd expect it to
hatch first. But the only way out to
the free air is through all the other
cells. If the baby bee busted
through she'd of course kill all the
unmatched bees. So the amateur
naturalist figures that nature re-
verses herself in this case, Matching
the last bee laid first, and the first
hee laid last.
n Wrong! The first egg laid matches
first. The baby bee down there at
the bottom of the tube at once at
tacks the wax wall above her and
bores a hole through it to the cell
overhead. Instantly she sees her
baby sister or brother lying still
asleep in its cocoon. Does she
brutally tear through that cocoon in
a wild, ruthless dash for the sun
light above?
She does not, my sonl
