Here and There.

Everybody in late days has heard of
Muscle Shoals, those thirty miles of
rapids in the Tennessee River, partly
developed by the government for fur
nishing power for the manufacture OF
high explosives and more lately some
thing desired by Henry Ford. II plans
already made are carried out, one dam
one hundred feet high will form lake
sixteen miles long, and another dam
forty feet high one seventy miles long,
and furnish power as great as could be
developed on both sides Niagara Falls.
The name sets ones curiosity In motion,
but it seems this stretch of rapids Is the
home of pearl bearing mussels with the
long nsme-Unio msrgsritiferous. Some
pearls of considerable beauty and value
have been found under their shells, the
most valuable bringing one thousand
dollars, but they are not numerous
enough to warrant commercial hunting
The Indians knew about these pearls
and had enough of them to tempt the
cupidity of French and Spanish explor-
ers. These mussel shells vary In form
and are locally known as the butterfly,
monkey-face, pig toe and wash board.
Not all of the pearls found are valuable.
Some are small, ill-shsped and lusterless.
What these new formed lakes will do for
these mussels Is unknown; but Q power
more valuable will be created.

Helen Ferguson Drexlsr OF Wsukegsn,
Illinois, is the most polyandrous woman
In the country. Poor creature, she has
only collected sixteen husbands in three
years, and fifteen of these have lived
through the experience. She says she
has no use for the divorce court. She
wants them all,-big hearted female
that Is, one would have called her big
hearted IL she had not commercialized
the transactions. One would have call
ed her patriotic and q hero worshipper,
but for the commercial side. She made
q speciality Of soldiers and sailors.
Somehow she had q prejudice against
marines. A child was born of the first
husband, who was q soldier, and she
drew an allotment check from the gov
ernment for him. He was lucky child,
born with q gold spoon in his mouth and
the mother got the spoon. She listed
the baby in the name OF each succeeding
husband and drew some five hundred
dollars q month In allotment checks.
The government Is generous, but Ii con-
sidered that Helen was going it rather
strong so they have her In court and
jail. She has given them pretty good
history of her marital relations only she
has forgotten the names Of eleven OF her
husbands.

The S14th anniversary of the birth of
John Harvard was celebrated recently at
Harvard College. Memorial exercises
were held at the statue on the campus.
John wasn't the actual founder OF the
college. but bis bequest made ltSpossible
for it to exist until the present time.
Harvard was born at Strstford-on- Avon,
England, and perhaps may have known
the 'immortal William" as he was
about nine years old st the time of the
death OF the dramatist. he was about
sixteen when the first edition of the
plays attributed to Shakespeare was pub
lished. Perhaps he may have known
what the people Of Strstford-on-Avon
thought about him, and whether, to use
the words of . wag, they thought him
''ShAke or Bake" John Harvard was q
graduate Of Emmanuel College, Cam
bridge University, Eugland. He came
TO Massachusetts in 1887, and almost i'm
medistely donated bis library and half
his estate to the college. The institu-
tlon received Its name in 1889.

Psrclval p. Baxter, along with other
governors, has issued his view In regard
to "viper warfare" the opening Of which
is so pithily told that Ii Is Incorporated
In this paragraph: "Wsr can never be
made civilized for IL Ia essentially bar
barous. All efforts to 'standsrdizs'
future wars or to abolish airplAne
bombs, poisonous gas, or submarine at
tacks-the so-called viper methods
will prove futile. Any nation immoral
enough to attempt TO conquer another
nation will not hesitate to employ any
weapon at Its command, while the nation
attacked must use the same weapons for
its defense, and will even seek to invent
weapons moro horrible and destructive
than those used against II. This has
been, and must always continue to be
so."
