the luciferin is forced from countless

clouds Of luminescent particles float
in the sea. This is the "smoke screen"
provided by nature.
The species Of luminous fish, called
"photoblephron," has a DINNER sys'

continuously. When the fish wishes to
shut off the light, he causes a black
augmented curtain to slide down over

The light organ preserves its lumines'

by fishermen Of the islands of Banda,
about 800 miles southeast Of the Philip
pines, as bait for night fishing.

Great Authors Write Badly.

All great authors write badly. That
is well known. At least the pedants
saw so. Great writer's are impetuous.
The vigor of their vocabulary, the in
tensity of their style, the daring of
their phrases disconcert the pedants.
To the pundits good writing apparently
means writing according to rules. But
born writer's make their own rules, or
rather make none. They change their
manner at every moment as inspiration
dictates; sometimes they are harr1oni
GUS, sometimes rugged, sometimes in.
dolent and sometimes spirited. So
according to the common noticn, they
cannot write well.-Anatole France.

PRICED AMBER AS ORNAMENT
Romans Secured II From "Barbarous"
Germans, Who Had Small. Idea
OF Its Real Value.

Amber, whlch'ls fosslllzed resin, was
In great demand among the Romans
for ornaments. Tacltus, In his
"Germuuia," tells that II was gathered
by the barbarian Germans. "They eX
plore the sea for amber, in their
language called 'gleese, and arc the
only people who gather that curious
substance" he says. ut is generally
found among the shadows; sometimes
on the shore. Concerning the nature
OF the cause OF this concretion the
barbarlans, with their usual want Of
Curiosity, make no inquiry. Amongst
other superlluitics discharged by the
sea this substance lay long neglected,
till Roman luxury gave it name and
brought it into request. To the saw
ages it is of no use. They gather
it into rude heaps and offer it for sale
Without any form or polish, wondering
at the price they receive for it,"
Tacltus guessed correctly the origin
of amber, saying; "There is reason
to think that amber Is dlstilation
from certain trees, since in the trans
parent medium we see a variety Of
insects and even animals Of the wing,
which, being caught in the viscous
fluid, are Afterwards, when it grows

CURED MONARCH or AVARlCE
Power Of Turning Everything He
Touched Into Gold Quickly PaIied
on King Midas.

It was because King Midas helped
drunken companion Of Bacchus to
sober up that he received the power
of turning everything into gold at his
touch. Bacchus had offered to grant
Midas anything he asked, and the
king wished this unpleasant power
upon himself, according to Ovid.
Midas enjoyed himself immensely
at first, turning twigs, apples, stones
and clods Of earth into gold. But the
trouble began as soon as he sat down
to eat. The bread he touched turned
to gold and defed his teeth. The wine
flowed down his throat as liquid
gold.
According to an embellished YER
sion Of the myth, the browning mis-
fortune wrought by Midas curse in
blessings guise was when, in the act
of caressing his little daughter, he
turned the child into a golden
statue.
Bacchus had been aware that the
gift was anything but desirable.
SO, believing Midas cured of avarice,
he sent the king 10 wash away the
power in the fountainhead of the
River Pactolus. AS result Of his
bath, the sands of that river remain
golden to this day.

Eagles Change Colcr.

The young eagle is clothed in three
kinds of garments before it reaches
maturity. During the first year it is
black, the second year slate-colored,
the third year brown and white. 1t
might be said that the ba1d-headed
eagle is not bald. 1t is so called from
the white ruff Of feathers about its
head. The three different appearances
of tie young eagle one time provoked
a strange misunderstanding among
bird observers. 1t was thought that
they were three different species--the
black, the George Washington and the
bald. The eagle is one of the Fal-
conidae which includes hawks and all
similar birds of prey.

Iaocm FAD Origin in Actual Lie.

t@cCm Eiau origin IN Actual Lire.
The famous poem about the .boWwhO
stood on the burning deck had its
origin in an actual happening which
constitutes a page in history.
If was during Napoleon's expedition
to Egypt that England sent hord Mel
son to capture him and annihilate his
fleet At the battle of Abukir the
French navy was crushed and Ma
poleon was forced to flee, all but four
of his ships being sunk, burned or cap
tured
The French admiral had been killed.
And on the deck of the flagship stood
her captain, Louis Casabianca, who
then had command of the fleet. He
was wounded and the ship was burn
ing, but he refused to leave his post.
And in spite Of commands and en-
treaties, his son, a boy Of ten, stayed
with him and died with him when the
ship went down, Supplying the theme
for that famous epic of child heroism,

Mr.. Jones.

Consider the case Of Mr.. Jones. He

Mr.. Jones rant, curse and swear,

ever in the day or night he finds that

Jones, a thoughtful man, knows
watch never will or can, so long as
heat and cold prevail, hit time ex'
actly on the nail. Now this identical
Mr.. Jones will buy-well, not for 90
bones, but for the price of cheap
cigar-the right to ride on trolley
car, car that has to run its race

Mr.. Jones starts a hot debate when

IMMENSE R0OKERY IN LAKE
Birds Find Sanctuary on Island on
Which Hunters Are Forbidden
to Set Foot.

Set in the middle Of Great Salt lake
is Hat island, - acres in area, one Of
the most densely populated rookeries
in the world. It's official name is due
to it's shape, but it is more Familiarity
known to westerners as Bird island.
Seagulls and pelicans live there. The
island is literally covered with them,
and since hunters are not permitted
Ito disturb the fowls, visitors expert
enee no difficulty in walking about
among them and observing their habits.
The birds have established their roosts
among the rocky formations Of the is
land which is surrounded by salt
water more dense than that Of the
ocean. The highest point is about 100
feet above the surface Of the lake.
The strangest sight on the island
is the flock of young pelicans. They
walk about like a drove Of sheep.
One acts as leader and the rest fol-
low. Large bodied, clumsy birds they
are. scarcely able to waddle out Of
the way when one approaches.
As evening approaches one may look
out over the lake, far to the north
east, and see a cloud Of tiny specks.
It is the adult pelicans returning home
from the mouth Of the Jordan river, or
from the Great Bear river, so to 70
miles away. They are laden with fish
for their young ones. The pouches
under their beaks are filed with fresh
wafer fish

never the sunbOnnet babies.

over the pages and look through from

pages a bit to see if I could not get

never could.

The Singer and the Song.

A sopg is great adventure. Thou
sands write it, tens. succeed; and
when they have succeeded. it's fate
still lies entirely with the singer. No
one eyer had it 50 much in his power
to make the worse appear the better
cause or to refrain from so doing.
The ancents placed Thamyris and
Narada among the gods; the moderns
pay their counterparts royalties. But
the singers personality is still meal
culabIe in terms Of canonzation or OF
cash. That personality means all that
he has been able to crowd into his life
ard he may still enlarge it. A good
way to do that is to read all the poetry
that he does not sing, and to listen to
all the music written for some other
instrument than the voice.-A. II. Fox
