Facts About Cyclones.

From the study Of clouds an Official
Of the weather bureau concludes that
the ordinary cyclones that raverse
our country from west to east are not
more than two or three miles in depth,
although their diameter is many hun
dreds of miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions of the atmosphere. In the case
of hurricanes he finds that the depth
is greater, amounting to as u as
five or six miles. But higher currents
blow directly across the cyclonie n
anti-cyclonic areas which produce
storms and fair weather at the sur
face of the earth. Some of this in
~vestigator's conclusions upset former
ideas concerning the circulation of the
atmosphere.-New York Herald.

LISTENERS WOULD TAKE RISK
Danger of Falling From Grace
Negligible on the Part of Prac-
ticer on Trombone.

Mr.. Elisha Johnson's mind was
troubled on a certain point of con-
science and he determined to seek his
pastors advice.
do you think 1t would be wrong
for a Methodist to play in a brass
band?' he asked, his open and in
genuous c~ountenance filled with eager
ness and doubt.
"Well," said the parson, slowly, "it's
for yourself you're asking, | suppose,
Elisha?"
Mr.. Johnson admitted that the case
was his own.
"And what instrument had you
fixed in your mind?" asked the minis
ter.
"Well," said Elisha, with a grad
ually clearing face. Il kind of thought
I'd tackle the trombone, if you said ii
was all right, and / wouldn't be falling
from grace to do it."

GRANT INTERCEPTED FOR LEE
Writer in Detroit Newspaper Makes
Public Fragment of History That
Is Interesting Reading.

! Immediately after the conclusion of
the Civil war and the assassination OF
President Lincoln, Andrew Johnson,
the new President, became very in
tent on the punishment of the South,
rather than his predecessors gener-
Gus idea Of treating the war as
definitely at an end and concentrat-
ing national effort on the upbuilding
of the Union. He found many sup
porters in congress, and their endorse
ment persuaded him to contemplate a
very radical course. On one occasion
he meditated the arrest of General
Lee.
When the news of this plan came
to General Grant, he Immediately
waited on President Johnson and in
formed him that Lee had h%onorably
surrendered, and had been assured
that he could devote himself to the
welfare of the South without inter-
ruption or disturbance. The North
ern general continued to the effect
that the army, of which he was head.
intended to see that these terms were
carried out, and that if Johnson at
tempted to interfere with Lee he
would be arrested himself. This was
the end of Johnson's designs on the
liberty of the Southern commander

PineappIes Have Strange Cousins.

The pineapple belongs TO a very IN
teresting family of plants, called the
Bromeliads, all Of which are purely
American, and m OF which were
known in the old world until import
ed from the new. Most of these are
natives of Brazil.
The pineapple is the only member
of the family that produces a large
fruit formed by thickening its flower
axis and by ~inclosing its seeds In
heshy bracts. 1t is Also peculiar In
the fact that 1t grows on the earth,
instead of up in the branches OF trees
or on rocks, as do nearly all its rela-
tlves. These are like the orchids In
man. respects; they draw no susie
nance from the earth through their
roots but live on rain. This they catch
in their leaves, which are rolled into
perfectly ~water-tight reservoirs.-New

Made Famous Tea Shipment.

In Gracechurch lane, an obscure
byway just outside one of London's
busiest commercial c~enters, American
tourists may see v a grocer's store
the "sign Of the crown and three gilt
sugar loaves' that marks the Location
of the shop whence the tea was
shipped in 1773 that ultimately went

Only the sign, which was recently
restored and which bears in big gold

was established, is suggestive of re-
mote times.
The grocer's shop, conducted by de-

HUMAN FACTORS IN FLYING
Things That May Appear Small in
Themselves Have Been Found to
Be Of Importance.

Few people realize that q small part
of the inner ear has much to do with
seasickness, and that this same por-
ton Of the ear affects the ability of
a man to handle an airplane or air
ship.
Since the close of the war the. ma
tional research council has had sew
eral projects centering on the study
ing of human factors in flying, in
volving 'behavioristic" experiments on
man and animals, anatomical, ply
~siological and psychological studies of
the functions of the ear and associ-
ated eye movements; the writing Of a
history and the collection of a com
plete photography ON the subject. Last
year the workers In this field came to-
gether and organized themselves into
a committee on vestibular research for
the purpose of encouraging and CO.
~ordinating work in this field. This
committee has formulated a project
on 1.-THE Experimental Study of Habit
uation to Rotation" which has been
approved by the National Research
council. This project forms a natural
nucleus around which may be gath
cred data from field experience, elm
ical records of flyers, etc.
The project will be administered by
an executive committee, at the pres
ent time composed of DR.. ]. Gordon
Wilson, chairman; DR.. Raymond
Dodge and DR.. f. III. Pike, in co-opera-
ton with the chairman of the division
Of biology and agriculture, medical
sciences and anthropology and psy-
chology in the National Research coun-
Gil.

BIG DEALS in SCOTCH LANDS
Many Millions of Acres Have Changed
Hands Since the Signing OF
the Armistlce.

Since the armistlce almost 4,oO0,OU
acres of Scottish land has changed
hands, or practically a quarter OF the
country, reports the London Times
correspondent at Glasgow.
During 1921 over 100000 acres were
sold, against 100000 in 1920. Although
prices have fallen, fully f5,0O0,O0O
(S25. OOGOOO) must have been involved
In last years sales, and the total
turnover since the armistice is estl-
mated at f52,5O0,0 900 ($262, 500, 000).
The decrease In estate sales last
wear shows that the ''boom' is on the
wane, for the people who made war
fortunes and who We're the estate
agents best clients now find their
wealth diminishing as quickly as 1t
grew. Trade depression has, OF
course, left its mark on the estate
market. with the result that prices for
estates are nothing like what they
were a few years ago.
Estate agents, however, hold out a
hopeful prospect for this year. 1t is
expected that the cessation of large
buying will continue for several
months, probably until the next budget
proposals are known, hut that this
will be followed by a revival. I'M
proved conditions in the Industrial
world would give a flip to the estate
market. but agents are confident thai
even without the impetus, good bust
ness will be done next year in the
buyjng of land.

Effect of Radiatins Seeds.

BY careful measurement of the
quantity of carbonic acid produced by
terminating radish seeds, Alfred G..
Redfield and Elizabeth M. Bright, both
of the Harvard medical school, found
that seeds which had been exposed to
the action of radium rays produce
that gas more rapidly than those that
have not been radiated. Production of
carbonic acid gas Is a measure of the
rate of metabolism. which is the proc
ess Of growth and breaking down
that takes place in all living matter.

MUMMIfiED BODIES IN CAVES
Scientists Expect to Find Much of In
terest Through Discoveries in
South Africa.

Recently discovered mummy ave
in the Roster district, west Of Pretoria,
South Africa, are situated in a wild
country % miles from railways, and
the entrance to them lies at the bot
tom Of q %forbidding hole in the ground
60 feet deep, for the descent of which
a rope tied to a tree trunk is neces-
sary.
Several hours spent in the caves
failed to give any estimate of their
size, as passages extend for long dis
tances, possibly for miles. The work
Of exploration was not without danger
on account of the pitch darkness, the
insecure rocks, and the risk Of falling
into crevices.
The explorers saw in a assure high
up in a rock on the side of the cave
the mummified body of a huge buck, on
top of which, also wedged in the rocks,
was the body of a large tiger with its
jaws fiercely extended. Two members
of the party attempted to get the
horns of the buck, but a fall of rock
compelled them to abandon the effort.
Under the bats dung which covered
the floor of the cave were found the
mummitied remains of a monkey meas
uring six feet from head TO toe, in an
excellent state of preservation. On
the floors We're a large number of
bones and clipped flints, while the
bats dung looked as though it had
been accumulated for centuries.

EYESIGHT NO BOON TO HIM
Blind Beggar Refused What Most
People Would Consider Most
Precious of Life's Gifts.

"Buy a pencil. please" This was
the monotonous sing-song plant of a
ragged blind man on a prominent
downtown corner. A Detroit million
aire heard it,. II gripped at his heart
strings. He decided to help cure the
poor victim.
A specialist Of International repute
was summoned. He said he could re-
store the pencil ~peddler's sight by a
delicate and expensive operation. The
millionaire told him to go ahead. Then
the blind man amazed the philan-
thropist and the physician by refusing
to be cured.
~ want to be blind" he said. IF /
got my sight back I'd have to go back
to hard work. Please don't give me
back my sight. I'm happy this way. |
make a lot of money through my
blindness. It's easy work. I'm happy
and I want to stay this way"
The millionaire then had a watch
set on the happy victim. He found
that every evening at the end of the
peddler's days work, a handsomely
gowned, pretty young woman drove up
to his corner in an expensive motor
car. bundled the peddler into the car
and whisked him off to n of those
jazz places of song and dance. The
blind man was having a high old time
of it every night.
When he tried later TO have his IL
cense renewed, the millionaire pre-
vented it.

The Clean-Up MoUe

There is every indication that the
cleanup move inaugurated by the
city council for next week will be a
splendid success. All agree that to
clean up and paint up is one Of the
greatest things that can be done for
any place. 1t is something that is
contagious, Like begets like. A resi-
dent cleans UP his proberty and his
,neighbor does likewise.
Many know they should clean up
their places, but unless united move
is made, they drag along, and finally
do nothing.
It is an undisputed fact that a
clean, well-painted town is known the
country over. Every traveller adver-
tises it. The thousands of cars pass
ing through Holyoke every season
over the two national highways mean
that every state in the union knows
what kind of town we have.
Let's make it popular as spot
less town, as bright as a new coin.

That you can hear your mothers voice.
A day for her! For years she gave
Long years of love and service brave,
For you her youth. was spent;
There was no weight of hurt or care
Too heavy for her strength to bear,
She followed where you went;
Her courage and her love sublime
You could depend on all the time.

On which to open wide her heart

Though you were black as sin!
Though skies were gray or blue.
Not once has she forgotten you.
Let every day be Mothers Day.
With love and roses strew her way,
And smiles of Joy and pride!

Where long ago you used to be
And never turn aside:
Or never let her eyes grow wet
With tears, because her babes forget.
