Duneany a Fast Writer,

Lord Dunsany, who, despite the
slump in theaieriand, has had new
play produced in London recently, ap-
pears to be we'll nigh as facile q play
wright as Lope de Vega, remarks the
Manchester Guardian. From the pref
ace to "Plays Of Birls and Men" we
learn that the longest of these, q
three-act tragedy, took him only three
days to write; a two-act play took
two days; one-act play one day.
The time allowance of an act day
was exceeded only in the case of 'The
Queens Enemies" the single act Of
which took six days, and most read
ers of the volume will agree that 1t Is
the least effective play of the four.
Mr.. Pond, the lecture agent under
whose auspices Lord Dunsany toured
the States two years ago. says: ITO
see Lord Dunsany at wOrk-a thing
which he seldom permits-is to see
ceremonial. He uses large, square
cut enameled paper, and he writes
with a quill pen. On one side he has
great stack of fresh blotters, and
when he finishes page he blots 1t end
throws the blotter away"

The Compass Plant.

On the prairies and plains Of Utah,
Texas and southern Minnesota there
grows a wonderful plant which has
proved useful to travellers wandering
over these vast tracts of country. 1t
is called the compass plant, or pilot
plant, bacause of n popularity In the
growth of the leaves, which grow al
ternately along the stalk, and point
precisely north and Southl The In
dians followed the direction given them
by these pointing leaves, and told the
white men about 1t. This plant be-
longs to the family of the Compositae,
and looks very much like the sun
flower. 1t has a strong, resinous
odor, somewhat like turpentine, and
sometimes goes by the name Of "tur-
pentine plant" - Christian Science

Birth OF q Star.

The vast black mass, 2O,OOO,OOO
times larger than the sun, demon
strated TO exist In the heavens by the
Dutch scientist, DR.. Pannekoek, seems
to upset all earlier astronomical calcu-
latiOnS.
1t Is, comparatively speaking. 50
near us that Doctor PannekOek sug-
gests that the sun itself must move
round 1t once In 1000, 600 years-draw
ing the earth with 1t.
I'VE believe that the black body
must consist of dust, and that this is
the first stage In the birth Of star"
said an expert. "As 1t cOndenses 1t
gets hotter until II becomes luminous
and visible. Sudden flares or new
stars haze been seen In our lifetime.
but the black cloud Of dust appears to
be the real beginning.
"The umaZing feature Is the near
ness OF the body. 1t Is relatively as
close to the earth as foot rule would
appear to he IL only two feet away
from the eye. 1t Is quite possible
that even vaster bodies of this kind
exist" The nearness Is relative. The
body is 2SO,OOO, 600, 100000 miles away.

MYSTERY OF LOST ATLANTIS
Believed by Many to Be Merely Leg
end, but Idea. Can Not Be
Entirely uprooted.

Will the mystery Of "lOst Atlantis"
ever be solved to general satisfactionf
The story has been told for ceHtu-
ries, and Is still accepted as true by
numbers Of people on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
The original idea was that an is-
land of immense size and great beau
ty existed beyond Africa, with many
large cities, and nations having
strange laws and customs. Some
writers have even gone SO far as to
describe the kind of clothing the peo-
pie wore and the money they used.
Then the story goes that the inhabi-
tants of this greet island Of Atlantis
grew bold and warlike, and that they
invaded Europe and Africa. But fate
was unkind to them-because of their
wickedness, 1t Is said; terrible earth
quakes and floods occurred, and In .
single day and night Atlantis was
swallowed up and sank into the
depths of the Atlantic ocean.
In the attempt to find some ground
for the persistent belief, one famous
scientist fell back upon the time.
thousands of years ago, when great
tracts of the earth were covered with
a sheet Of ice Of vast thickness.
In this ice were imprisoned such
enormous quantities of water that the
level Of the oceans sank quite low,
with the result that large areas OF
land were left uncovered. One Of
these uncovered portions. he sug-
gested, was the island or continent Of
Atlantis, which, on the melting of the
ice, was covered again by water to Z
great depth.
The western mountains Of Europe
and the eastern mountains Of North
America are supposed to be fragments
of the high mountain ranges Of this
mysterious "lost Atlantis"

Circus to 'rrave, In Motor Trucks,

An eastern circus organization will
tour the country this year In motor
trucks costing from $4,000 to $4,000
apiece. 1t is estimated the saving in
rail charges will go a long way to
pay for this equipment. The motor
ized circus will be able to travel any
where and. being Independent of train
service, may make towns not often
visised by large shows.

TESTING Pearls,

Two professors in physics at Lon.
don university, England, are conduct
ing exhaustive tests, on behalf of the
Daily Mail, with a view to finding
a possible difference between Ordi-
nary and japanese pearls. A Japan
ese pearl is produced by inserting a
seed pearl or mother Of pearl into the
liver of an oyster. Alfred E. Calvert,
a fellow of the Chemical society,
stated recently that the several
specimens Of Japanese pearls he pos
sesses are identical In weight, color
and luster with ordinary pearls, and
they are produced by the oyster with
the same materials and by the same
process as the other variety.

this manner pilot can always make

English Spurious
Are Good To Eat

English sparrows are noisy and de-
strucitve. They drive native birds
from villages and homesteads.
Tho they are occasionally valuable
as destroyers of noxious insects, all
things considered, they do far more
harm than good. Practicable methods
of dealing with them include destruc-
ton of nests, shooting, trapping. and
poisoning. OF these, trapping is I'M
questionably the best
English sparrows are good to eat
and their use as food is recommended
because of their nutritive value. and
as means of reducing their numbers
The department of agriculture has
issued an elaborate illustrated booklet
which tells how to fight this destruc-
tive bird. and our Washington In
formation Bureau will secure a copy
for anyone who sends 2 cents in stamps
to pay the return postage.
