EARTH's SURFACE IN UNREST
Scientists Have Proved That Il 10
Never .. Any Time Without
Some Movement.

No portion of the earth's surface is
ever at rest. though all but the great
movements of earthquakes escaped at
tention until recent years. The minute
vibrations are followed by ]. ]. Shaw
in Nature as an amending train of
waves, waxing and waning in ampli-
tude, that are INCREASINGLY coursing
along the earth's crust and reach 10
unknown depths. The wave period
ranges between and seconds: the
amplitude is between one 5OOOOth and
one 2.000th Of an inch, but with wave
length OF TO 16 miles. The speed of
the waves is believed TO be about two
miles per second. Such local causes as
air tremors and the swaying of build
ings and trees were formerly sug-
gested, but ii Is now known that they
are wide-spreading earth movements.
Earthquakes are easily followed on the
recording apparatus by the primary
and secondary phases and the long
waves rising TO a maximum The MI
ner s-micrOseisms-are not
easily separated from one another. and
there has been no means of studying
their propagation. But recently GER
tain tremors have been traced on re-
cording instruments 80 feet apart. Con-
tinuing the investigation. the -arge has
been extended to two miles. and 1t has
been made practicable 10 pick on: :nis-
vidual tremors on the two sets OF rec
ords. One result is the showing that
the travel of the microseisms is Jude
pendent of wind and weather, though
the source and cause of the move
ments are still mystery.

SENT FRIEND UNIQUE GIFT
When Andrew johnson Resumed His
Needle to Fashion a Mark OF
Personal Affection.

There's always just one more story
about any of Americas former Presi-
dents. This time there is another about
Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's tenipestu-
Gus successor.
Johnson, while governor Of Tonnes
see, once resumed his vocational i'm
plements. He had formed a strong
friendship in the Tennessee Legislature
for w. w. Pepper Of Springfield. a
stanch Wing, and once blacksmith.
Despite their irreconcilable political
creeds the personal relations of john
son and Pepper were extremely cordial.
Pepper became a Judge in 1854, and
after visit TO Johnson. then governor,
set about fashioning a shovel, which
he sent with a note explaining 1t was
intended as a momento of n friendship
proof against all political differences.
Johnson, TO show his appreciation,
took up his scissors and needle and
made a handsome beaver cloth coat
which he sent to Pepper. 1t was a
splendid piece of workmanship, prob
ably the last of that kind of work
Johnson ever did, and exists to this
day.

Teak Wood Highly Valued.

Teak, for some purposes the most
,aluable of all woods, is chiefly pro-
luced commercially by Burma, al
though it is also supplied by India.
Siam and Java As plant, teak is re-
markable for its large leaves, which
reach ten to twenty inches in length
and eight to fifteen in breadth, and are
so rough that they are used for sand
papering. The trees often grow so to
100 feet tall, with a circumference Of
six to ten feet, the largest recorded
log cut in Upper Burma in 1898, having
measured STla feet in length and
yielded over twelve tons Of timber. The
wood varies from yellow or straw
color to rich brown when first cut
darkening on exposure; sometimes IL
has dark and almost black streaks or
veins. 1t is hard, and very durable.

HAVE KEEN SENSE OF HOME
Abundant Proof That Birds Return
Year After Year to Scenes OF
Familiarity.

Bird lovers have believed for CEN
turtles that migratory birds return to
the same home. year after year. Mod
ern science has proved this belief TO
be right. Birds are caught in traps
that do not hurt them. marked with
tiny highlands of aluminium. each bear
ing a number. and released. Next
year. the same birds are caught again
in the same locality, often when oe-
cupying the same nest.
Evidently. a birds memory for d.
rection and location must be quite as
marvellous as the older writer's be-
lieved. The catbird winters as far
south as Panama. yet catbirds marked
IN northern Ohio came back to the
same neighborhood, year after year.
Sometimes they move few rods or
furlongs, but the frequency with
which they return to the very spot
is astounding.
Cats find their way back to the old
home across a township. horses across
a county or two, and dogs have been
known to pass through several states
In returning to a beloved master, but
birds find their way across a CONT
nent, and sometimes over a sea as
well.

SALES OF FEDERAL
FARM LOAN BONDS
SHOWING PROGRESS

! Subscriptions for the new $40,-
100000 issue of 10-20-year Federal
Land Bank per cent bonds, dated
May l, 1921, not redeemable before
May l, 1881. and due May /, 1941. have
now reached the $35.000,000 mark
The sale of these bonds has been
steady up to the present time, and il
is expected that within another week
the entire issue will have been taken
About 100000 of these bonds have
been purchased by Baltimore inves-
tors. The issue was offered on April
is.
Two events have occurred since the
last issue of Federal Land Bank
bonds which made this one particular
ly attractive. The Supreme Court of
the United States has held that these
banks we're legally created as part
OF the banking system of the United
States. and that the bonds issued by
the hanks are instrumentalities of the
United States Government and are
exempt from Federal. municipal and
local taxation.
Outstanding bonds of previous is
sues are redeemable FIVE years from
date of issue. Congress recently en-
acted a statute authorizing the re-
demption period on new issues to be-
gin in the eleventh year from date OF
issue instead of the sixth as hereto
fore. in order to meet the demand for
long-term securities. Both of these
rulings enhanced the attractiveness of
the new issue.
Approximately 1915. 100000 in Fed
eral Land Bank bonds. after the issue
has been sold. will be outstanding.

Very Useful Tree.

What is claimed TO be the most mar
velous of trees grows in Brazil. II Is
the carnahuba palm, and can be EN-
ployed for many useful purposes. Its
roots produce the same medicinal effect
as sarsaparilla. Its stems afford
strong. light fibres, which acquire
beautiful luster, and serve also for
ioists, rafters and other building mate
rails. as we'll as for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and vine
gar are made. 1t yields also saccha-
rine substance, as well as starch
resembling sago. Its fruit is used in
feeding cattle The pulp has an agree
able taste, and the nut, which is oleagi-
nous and emulsive. is sometimes used
as a substitute for coffee. of the
wood of the stem musical instruments,
water tubes and pumps are made. The
pith is an excellent substitute for cork.
From the stem white liquid similar
TO the milk of the c0conut is obtained
and q -four resembling maizena,.

Illusions

As one begins to grow old, he (the
pronouns ~one" and he" are worked
in double harness in violation of all
ethics of literature because too many
zones" seem an affectation). growing
older. loses his hair and his teeth
and his illusions.
His loss is not accepted as an argu-
ment against hair and teeth. 1t is
admitted that hair and teeth. though
temporary and faithless, are worth
while. While they endure, they are
facts; and when they are gone where
all good hair and teeth go, the fact
of their passage should not be accept
ed as proof that they were a snare and
a delusion in their prime.
The faiths of youth, that one in
sleek and sophisticated middle age
characterizes as illusions are built
upon the solid foundation of eyerlass-
ing fact. The fact endures. in spite
Of neyer-ending procession of Gym
les; and loss of faith is but morbid
interest in sore spots.
The boy whose mind is clean be
lieves that mankind is clean and de-

which is, and must remain. the only
satisfactory method of judging man
kind. Because he is honorable. he is
willing to believe that he lives in an
honorable world.

Mystery of EGG Lines.

Why are some birds eggs pure
white and unmarked and others va
riously and highly colored, with all
sorts of marks upon them, from mi
mute dots to scraggly lines? asks the
American Forestry Magazine. How
are these spots and markings pro
duced? Nests of birds run all the way
from the female laying single egg
on the bare rock on the coast, to
those laying ten or more eggs In a
very elaborate nest built in very diff
ferent localities.

DEVICE WILL ENABLE
THE BLIND TO READ

A new elaboration of the telephone
will enable blind persons to read the
papers, according to Archibald Barr,
emeritus professor of engineering at
Glasgow University, who. in an ad-
dress described the mechanism OF q
British invention fer that purpose.
The lecturer explained that the
reading was accomplished by pro.Gc-
ing in telephone receiver a series OF
musical notes representing the vari-
Gus letters as these were passed over
by the instrument IN traversing a line
of printing. The sense of hearing,
therefore. is employed instead OF the
r nse of sight.

THE NIGHT ROADS,
MAIZE V. cARUTHERS.
In the New York Times


Where run the roads at night? By
day
They rambie on until
Like dusty ribbons, silver gray.
Down little yagrant paths that stray.
They lose themselves in winding way
Far over the vale and hill.
While sunset fingers. one may see
Where straight ahead they roam
But purple twilight, presently,
The landscape wells with mystery,
And then-toWard love ard family
The roads lead travellers home.
Shadows of evening everywhere
The world is lost TO sight
Though friendly windows here and
there.
To light the dusk their tapers share
It's dark beyond the candles fare
Where run these roads at night?

a PUBLIC NUISANCE

Complaints are being
made to the Gazette with re-
quest that it take the matter
up, of the most disgraceful
scenes witnessed by the au-
tomobile public after night
fall, along the road just this
side of the Long Bridge. 1t
is claimed that large num-
bers of automobiles from
Washington pass over the
bridge, hating on this side,
and that the men and Wo-
men occupying them are OF
the most depraved charact-
er. From the location as de-
scribed this is apparently
under federal jurisdiction,
and if so, the Government
should take steps at once TO
suppress what has grown to
be a conspicuous and notorl-
Gus public nuisance.
