How HIah Birds Ely.

Astronomical methods have been
successfully applied to the solution Of
mooted question rs to the height Of
night flights of migrating birds. Two
telescopes were placed at measured
distances apart (from ten to twenty
one feeO, on an east and west line,
and with them. two observers stimuli
taneously watched the moon. The
track of birds flying across the face Of
the moon were noted by each observer
Independently on lunar chart, ready
at his side. The tracks, being pro-
jected from separate points of obserya-
ton, Of course, were not identical in
position and their distance apart fur
niShed the basis for a calculation OF
the "parallax" OF the flying birds. Two
sets of observations in one case were
made, in May and October. The de-
Quoted heights above the ground
varied from 1,400 to $500 feet The
last, however was an extreme case,

1900 to $500 or 5000 feet.

SHOWS IMPORTANCE OF WOOL
How Much OF It Each Person Uses
Has Been Proved to Run
Into Miles.

How much wool does the average
person use?
Every inch of cloth contains about
twenty-five threads running down
wards and the same number running
across it, SO that square yard is
made up of 1900 threads, each yard
in length.
To simplify calculations we may as
sumo that every yard contains Il mile
of wool yarn. The average suit or
costume needs four square yards of
cloth, so that every man or woman
wears something like four miles Of
wool. Allowing two sets Of clothes Il
year, we find that each Of us uses
four hundred miles of wool In fifty
years
When we come to linen and cotton
goods, with eighty or one hundred
threads each way to the inch, the total
length of thread becomes appalling A
single handkerchief may contain 2,40O
strands each fifteen inches long, so
that 1000 yards of cotton thread are
required to make it. A shirt repre-
sents about three miles of thread. In
fifty years everyone Of us uses any
thing from 500 to 1000 miles of cot.

How oeophsrs" Are cIassed

The name gopher" which is APP
piled to quite a variety of creatures in
various sections of the American con-
tinent, is a corruption of the French
"gaufre," naming a honeycomb. 1t
was applied by the early French set
tiers to number Of burrowing ami
mails from their habit Of honeycomb-
Ing the earth.
In Canada and Illinois the name is
today applied to the gray burrowing
squirrel and in Wisconsin to the gray
striped squirrel which, in this section
is called chipmunk. In Missouri a
gopher is brown pouched rat In
Georgia he is a snake, and in Florida
he is turtle, Minnesota is called the
Gopher state from the fact that the
striped squirrel was formerly found
there in great numbers.

How Much for Llbrarles7

A dollar per capita Is the American
Library associations estimate of rea-
Sonable annual minimum revenue for
a modern public library, according to
the Survey. This sum, In the average
community, would cover the salaries Of
trained librarians, a main library with
reading room and branch Libraries and
reading rooms within easy reach Of all
the people, assuming registration Of
at least 30 per cent of the population
as card holders and allowing for home
use about five volumes each. In most
large cities other endowed or private
specialized Libraries are available for
students; where this is not the case
the budget allowance of the public IL
brary for expensive books must be
much higher than is included in the
estimate given. Nor does this include
extension work for children, or Tor for
elgn speaking, oflie.@i business or othss

PLACE IN LEGEND AND HIS
TORY OF QUEEN OF SHEBA

The great part the Queen of Sheba
played in the life of King Solomon
is not only a matter of historical rec
ord, but also of Oriental legend, ac-
cording to Virginia Tracy, author of
the story on which Queen of Sheba'
the William Fox picture spectacle
coming to the Lyric Theatre, is
based.
Throughout the East a hundred leg
ends and traditions, mostly unwritten
keep alive the memory of the great
queen who came from the south and
won Solomon's heart. Her fame in
Asia is beyond that of Cleopatra and
that of Helen of Troy, in spite of the
fact that Cleopatra had Shakespeare
and Helen had Homer to sing their
praises, while Sheba's love never I'M
I til now has been immortalized in the
written word.
Yet for proof of her strong influ-
ence on King Solomon, and, through
him, probably on the whole course of
history, one must turn to the Songs
of Solomon, which, according to COM
mentators, contain many passages
which can refer only to the Queen of
Sheba. 1t is true that a strong
school of thought holds that in these
poems, which form the collection
known as the Songs of Solomon, the
king used his love for Sheba as a re-
ligious symbol; but they contain every
indication that they were written by
a man who had experienced the deep
est of human emotions, that of love
| between the sexes.
1t is also undoubtedly true that the
Songs of Solomon were written soon
after the visit of the Queen of Sheba
! to Solomon's kingdom. Dazzled by
her beauty and the magnifieence. OF
her retinue, Solomon descended from
his throne to greet the Queen, who
had journeyed over the desert to gaze
upon his glory and hear his wisdom
And not for the first time in history
nor the last, wisdom and power
bowed low and humbled itself before
beauty.
