Use Of Rays by Flowers.

Do flowers use rays not visible to
the human eye to attract insects to
them? Certain insects can spot ultra
violet light that cannot be seen by
man, and some blossoms, in addition to
their ordinary brilliant hues, vary in
the kind Of short light rays that they
emit.
Prof. F. K. Richtmyer of Cornell
university told the Optical Society Of
America, meeting at the bureau Of
standards in Washington recently, that
these invisible rays may guide pollen
bearing insects to the flowers in their
search for honey. Giving signals in
rays shorter than the deepest violet
that we can see brings the flowers the
pollen that is necessary to it in pro-
ducing seed. Experiments made by
Professor Richtmyer on Colorado flow
ers show that flowers apparently differ
in their reflection Of ultraviolet as
much as in their visible colors.

DISCOURAGE SPEEDING.

In connection with the proposed
highway legislative program the ques-
tion of speed laws and fines is again
being discussed. 1t has been said that
cars are allowed to trayel at the rate
of 80 miles an hour on University
avenue between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, while tourists are fined for ex-
ceeding 25-mile per hour rate on the
streets in some of the villages of the
state.
University avenue is a wide street
where the greater part of the day
there are two continuous streams Of
traffic. 1t may be reasonably safe for
cars to travel on that avenue at the
rate of 80 miles per hour at certain
intervals Of the day, but it is neither
safe nor desirable for them to pass
through our villages at such speed.
No motorist who is not racing to
bring relief to those who are seriously
ill, or who is not fugitive from JUS
ClCS, Is Ill SuCll d WIN hurry Ic
cannot slow down to rate of 20 or
Is miles an hour in a will: .ge. If he
must travel at from 80 to 65 miles an
hour, let him charter a race track and
speed to his hearts content.
Why all this talk about the tourists
being so prosecuted by officers who
are enforcing unreasonable speed
laws? Do not these tourists come to
Minnesota to see the beauties of our
fair state? Then why race along at
such rate that neither they nor the
unfortunate motorists behind them
enveloped in a cloud of dust have any
opportunity to see the landscape?
There is reason in all things, and
it is to be hoped that the members of
the legislature, especially those from
the rural districts will not vote fo1
any measure that will turn lose the
speed demons. Thirty miles an hour
on the streets in our villages is al
together too fast. We do not want a
law making such provision.

Arctic Possibilities.

Donald B. Macmillan has returned
from his years exploration Of Baffln
bay in the Bowdoin with the news that
the western coast of Baffin land has
been incorrectly mapped and it's
waters misleadingly charted. There
are many who will say, Interesting,
but what Of it7"
But there is this about MacMillan's
discovery. It is not at all impossible
that It will have a very real and
practical value. The economic poten.
tialities Of the arctic we know very
little about. Explorers have, as a rule,
been little concerned with the econom-
ic features Of the northern wastes,
but there may come a day when the
world will be much concerned about
them. Oh has been found far north,
and some day there may be oil wells
In Baffin land. The charting of the
waters of Baff1n bay will then assume
a new importance.-New York Herald.

Not Bad,
There Is brilliant vOuno r

There Is brilliant young Britisher
in Washington, the correspondent Of
a famous British journal, who has not
been able to realize that the United
States has really voted itself dry. This
has become somewhat Of an obsession
on his part, and many Incidents of
everyday life afford him opportunity
for witty sallies in this relation. Re-
Gently, he attended a musicale, and
after an artist had rendered Drink to

was asked by some one who was the
composer, Really, for the moment
I have forgotten" he replied, "but one

poser, it Is opus 49,"

Heart to Heart Talks
By Peterson.

A new year is approaching, and we
are wondering what it has in store
for us. We are specializing as to
whether the times are going to be
better or worse.
Personally, l have made up my mind
that everything is going to be better,
and right here I want to ask every
reader Of this column to take the same
attitude. Let us follow up DR.. Canes
method of autosuggestion, and say to
ourselves twenty times every day,
DAY by day in every way conditions
are getting better and better" Let
us direct our imagination into channels
of cheerfulness and optimism; let US
keep up courage in spite of the SEEM
lngly hard times. If we all think and
talk and live prosperity there can be
nothing else but prosperity in our
community.
If you are always talking of hard
times, hard luck, of your misfortune
and Ill health, of people being against
you, OF never having a fair chance.
or fair showing, you are showing
the. white feather and creating the
condition of your own defeat IF vo,,
want to win out in the battle of life
s'op believing and talking hard luck.
Ano remember, this applies to a citv
or a community, such as ours, lust as
well as to the individual
We cannot attract prosperity DUR
ing the coming year merely by sittino
oo"n and wishing for it. Each one Of
US must make an effort to do our
level best, to produce something worth
whlle' thus earning something. and
then keep our earnings in circulation
thereby helping one another. In other
words II we expect something out of
thls world we must put something into
It, and we are sure to get our re-
turns according to our investments.
My sincere wish, at this time, to all
my readers, is that with the coming of
the New Year there will also come to
you spirit of new determination,
optimism and cheerfulness, that will
create prosperity and happiness
such as has never before been expert
enced in this good old village of
Princeton.

the success that it is meeting with

the taste of the great American
movie fan. Everywhere "Uncle Toms

Lure of Circus Same in 1922 as
1892, Says Former Lion Tanner

The lure of the circus has attracted
many a youth Of the past to follow its
trail wherever it goes. Even in Colum-
bia numerous boys have applied to Dan
McCugin, treasurer of the Siegrist and
Silbon Shows, for job in the show. One
nan has been accepted for place in
the band as clarinet player.
McCugin said that he discouraged all
Of the boys from starting their lives in
a show. II man applies for a job as
a hand, he usually accepts him if he is
needed. ..
McCugin ran away from home in 1892
tc travel with a medicine show. At that
time he was attending a business college,
living with his parents, who were well4o-
do. Never since has he been able. to rid
himself of the spirit Of wanderlust. Every
spring his ''feet begin to itch." he says.
Bookkeeping, once a bore to him in an
Office is now a pleasure on the road
Several years ago he left the road and
went into the hotel business. He married
and later adopted two girls. After his
wife died and the girls married, he sold
the hotel and began to long for the road.
Nothing was left for me to do but to
follow the pursuit of my younger life,7 he
said m.ditatively.
During his life he has been an animal
trainer for many larger shows. Lions are
very gentle but treacherous," he con-
tinued. 1.-TWO years ago We had a 2-year-
old lion which we haltered and turned
loose in the menagerie tent. for he was
good pet when not eating. A lion
when being fed raw meat is vicious. The
instinct of the jungle is brought out. and
he is then moro desirable in cage. A
lion cub is as gentle as a dog until he is
fed his first raw meat. Then he becomes
treacherous.
Animal training is no more risky
than the work Of the electrician, the
sieeplejack, the aviator or the steel work
er. All men get careless. Carelessness.'"

work of training lions. became care

side Of the cage just as a lion grabbed
my leg. Today have silver plate there
as a result"
There are attractions and pleasures at
tached to showman's life which helped
to compensate for the hardships. McCu-
gin said that the other day he met Will
liam De Mott, a rider in the Cillmar
Brothers circus, an old friend whom he

had not seen for Is years. They last met
in England.
The worst punishment that could be
dealt TO me would be for the show to
leave me in a town for a three months
rest. | couldn't bear to SEE the train
leave without me. 1t would be worse
than going to the penitentiay. The show
business makes tramp of one he con-
cluded.
Charles Tripp. the armless man in the
show, takes another point of view con-
cerning the business. He said that he
had to make living, and that the show
was his only means. Il should like to
stay at home as other folks, but | must
earn living" he drawled.
From here this group of show-folk
hit the trail for Quincy, Ill. From there
