Meteors.

AIeteOrs ordinarily. become visible at d height of 100 miles above the earth, but are generally dissipated be- fore reaching 25 miles from the sur face. About One-third of the number of elemental substances which go to make up the earth'S crust are found aS constituents of mete0rs,. among these being iron, sulphur, sodium cal cium, chlOrin, carbon, etc. Usually the bulk is stone, but often there is a mixture of stone and iron, and in a few instances iron predOminAres, A meteor falling through the air is ac- cOmpanied by a peculiar sound and frequently 1t explOdes after striking the earth, Those which strike the earth comprise only a small prOpOr- ton of the total number that fall. Meteors always seem to be falling downward because when they come within range of the earth's attraction they are drawn toward 1t and are set afire by friction with the atmOs- phere. Individual particles of a me teoric stream are too small to be seen with most telescopes, as they move In an interplanetary space, and 1t Is only when they approach earth and become luminous that We are aware of their existence,

RETARD OLD AGE
Certain Foods Known in Asia
 Minor as Life Preserving.
System of Diet of the Early World When People Lived for Hun-
 dreds of Years.

It may interest readers to hear of a system of diet which is that of the early world when people lived hundreds of years without growing old. l heard of it while travelling in Asia. Minor from an Armenian woman of sixty of very youthful appearance, writes M. k. Forbes in the Saturday Review. Traditions on diet and long life had been preserved in her family from very ancient times.
 Her father had lived to one-hundred and fifty and her grandfather and her grandmother also. She attFibuted her youth to certain laws of diet and to 8 particular sweetmeat, q kind of sweet paste, which she claimed was one of the foods of the patriarchs and enabled them to live to their great age. It prelOngs youth and re- tards old age, and is made from two of the life-preserving foods mixed with honey and other ingredients. She believed that old age and disease were due to unsuitable and wrong combina- tiOns of food and that q longer youth can be achieved by keeping as strictly as possible to the diet of the ancient world.
 She divided food into three classes the life giving, containing the pro" teids, fats and carbohydrates the life preserving, only six in numbsRl wine, olive oil, yOuhort (fermented milk), butter, honey and dates; and the life destroying, five in number which should never be eaten, and con sist of flesh of meat, tea, coffee, beer and spirits. Her own diet consisted of whOlemeal bread, eggs, vegetables some of each of these llfe-preserving foods, and lentils, "and at the midday and evening meals some of the sweet meat, the latter being d very essential part of the diet She claims that 1t Is possible to maintain youth and vigor up to a very long time on this diet.
 have tried 1t now for seven months, eating only very little fish and fowl. have grown much strong CT, my friends tell me ] look much younger, and I have entirely got rid of a troublesome throat affection and cough which suffered from for years and which I always feared would de velOp into consumption. Medicine and an operation failed to do me any good, but this diet seems to have eliminated the germs from my system, for I am entirely cured.
 There are such number of systems nowadays that one Is apt to think very little of them, but 1 can testify that this system will yield the fullest results, only 1t must be conscientious ly carried out, and, whatever else is eaten. the life destroying foods should be given up.

Chance.

When Camille FlammariOn was five years old, he saw an eclipse of the sun reflected in bucket of water.
 That aroused his interest in the stars. Today he is celebrated French astronomer.
 FlammariOn suggests that he might have followed some other line of work If chance had not led him to the water pail.
 . Chance-the possibility of the unex- pected happening at any mOment-is what makes life interesting The laws of chance have a lot to do with our careers. Many successful men are creations of chance, or luck, though they try to pin 1t on hard work and not watching the clock.

Sian of OpuIence.

Different individuals have different ambitions. Probably one of the most unique is that of a wife of friend of mine who has been an earnest help mate of her husband for number of years.

 They had both started as some one tramped across the kitchen floor and Alice had turned to see a young man drop a knapsack on the hearth and take Aunt Martha into his arms.
 "Been tramping down through the Berkshires," he had explained, land if you can take in a tramp for few days"
 ' Take in a tramp? Suddenly the house was full of laughter and sum- shine and the smell of delicious things. Norman Taylor came and went, smoking crooked old pipe, teasing them both indiscriminately, and praising Aunt Martha's cooking.
 Never ate anything like your blues berry pancakes in .my life!" he would say batting her arm. And this cake Good girl ]"
 Alice would laugh and flush when she had made the cake.
 In the evening he would shOo Aunt Martha out of the kitchen and, mak- ing a great show of tying an apron around his waist, he and Alice would wash dishes. How long it took! He would wave knife he was polishing in the height of argument and Alice, watching 1t fearfully, would burst into delighted laughter.

 Finally he had stopped short on the road and said, "What's the mat ter?"
 She had meant to say. "Oh, noth- ing" but she heard her own voice saying, You're going away"
 Dismay caught her and her heart seemed to stop beating at that fatal admission.
 My own little grill" was all he said.
 They walked on through a golden haze-could she ever forget it?-the meadows seemed to be quivering with light under the sinking golden ball of sun. The windows of Miss Winthrop's cottage glittered like jewels as they came nearer. The whole world was irradiated by her exquisite trembling jOyl

 They looked at each other gufltily, for the apples lay on the other side of the stone wall, just where he had dropped them when he had taken Alice in his arms.

PELICAN A NAUGHTY BIRD
Trout Hog" Is Charge Made Against Him by Professor of University
 of IIllnoIs.

Excitement is rife in the wild an- imal community of the Yellowstone National park since the scandal about MT. Pelican received public attention. The ducks are Quacking about 1t, the squirrels are chattering it and the bob cats are scattering it broadcast In their shrilI voices.
 Throughout all the whispers and nudges of nelghbOrs as he passes, Mir. Pelican maintains his stately mten, seemingly unconscious of the jibes of the multitude. His actions would indicate he still holds his valued place In the community.
 His trouble started with the charge by Prof. Harry B. Ward, head of the department of zoology of the Univer- sity of Illinois, that he is trout hog" and viOlator of all the tenets of good sportsmanship. Proof of these charges probably will mean that Mir. Pelican will become an Outcast with every ones door closed to him and every ones hand against him.
 Professor Ward Is conducting an exhaustive investigation for the fed eral bureau of fisheries at Lake Yel" lOWstone in Yellowstone National park as to the relationship between the pelican and the trout supply. His investigation, which has been pro- gressing several weeks, will continue through the present season.
 The flock of pelicans that live and breed on Lake Yellowstone numbers about 400. They Summer" aristOcrat- ically at the lake, feasting on the best the land affords, from spring un- til September, then go to their winter resorts along the Gulf of Mexico.
 The bird diets almost exclusively on fish, and, so far as the Yellowstone and other Rocky mountain lakes and streams are concerned, this means ex- clusively on trout. He estimates that the 400 pelicans consume more trout than are taken during an entire sea son by spOrtsmen.
 The pelican is no reSpecter Of size limits or open seasons, Professor Ward charges. He declared he had seen a platoon of 86 pelicans ranged across a stream in regular formation, prey ing on the trout as they swan up to spawn Hitherto the stream had yielded trout eggs by the millions, but hatchery men this year could gather only 8 fraction of the normal amount.
 The fact is granted that MT. Peli- cans home life is above reprOach. He Is a good prOvider, a good husband and father and Is strictly monogam- ous. For the 400 birds ir, the lake flock, there are just POO nests, one for each couple and one mate for each bird. There are no "triangles" in the Yellowstone 400
 If further investigations justify it, Professor Ward will ask the federal government to bar the pelican as sum- mer visitors from the park.

Revenue From Trees.

The United States fcrestry service is endeavoring to get the cities and municipalities of the country into line for the proper fOrestation of such lands as these organizations might own and control. The fact is deplored in re- cent paper on the subject that less than one-half of the land owned or controlled by the cities of New York state Is properly cared for and made to pay for the keep.
 Newberg, which leads in the devel- Opment of municipal lands, has been engaged for some time in the task of reforesting its watershed so as to in sure a supply of water and eo derive a future income. This consists of 175 acres, of which Is acres have been re f0rested The work has been done by securing the interest of the school children, and each year POO boys and girls are taken to the country for the purpose of ree-planting.

How Alice Was
 tilted
By JESSIE DOUGLAS

 e. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate i
 She was 8 huddled little heap in the dim corner. She had cried until she could cry no more, 'tnd even her face seemed to smart from those scalding, searing tears.
 Soon she would have to get up and. meet the world again, and she sObbed as she thought of it. Life lay ahead of Alice TrOWbridge like long pas sage with neither window nor light to make it bearable.
 She went over to the window seat and saw that the day was dying, a faint yellowing mist hung over the roofs of the great city and rifts of amethyst clouds were darkening to purple.
 As she knelt there she could see quite plainly just how it had begun.
 The little Weather-beaten farm house with the twinkling panes of glass had seemed to her a haven of rest. She had crept up those clean narrow stairs the first night to the west chamber and had slept in the old walnut bed, the sleep of the ex- hausted, city-wrecked worker.
 Could she ever forget the first morn ing when she had eaten her break fast in the lOw-ceiled yellow kitchen from the OilclOth covered table, fresh berries and cream and crisp crum- bling cOrnbread with country butter?
 She and Aunt Martha"-as she had come to call her-had fallen deep into talk, had found themselves kindred souls, had laughed at the an- tics of the newest kitten and had made, before the week was out, a great batch of yellow cookies to- gether.
 You'd make some man a right nice little wife," Aunt Martha had said admiringly.
 Alice had shaken her head gayly and cried, My independence for me! Why, there's nothing like it!' cozy little fiat and enough friends and books and pictures and flowers, what more could one Yant?"
 Aunt Martha had only looked at her sagely.
 >> 'It's all right now, but wait till you get into your thirties and your for tIes!"
 Thirties! Alice had turned her head away quickly to hide the flush that burned her cheeks. She had reached those ugly thirttes now, and

New Banana Field.

For the first time bananas are to be grown on the Pacific coast of Guate- mala on a commercial scale, says Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. An Amer lean corporation, licensed to do busi- ness in that country, has acquired a plantation 15 miles west of San Jose de Guatemala, where it is expected soon to have 2,0O0 acres planted with bananas. Although the banana indus try has reached large development on the Caribbean coast, it has hitherto not been attempted on the Pacific coast, because of a lack of rainfall and transportation facilities.

linen hand-drawn tablecloth. "That came from England, in my mothers chest !"
 On the. way back through the dusk they had debated the question whether Miss Winthrop had seen. The throaty chuckle Of tree tOads, the sleepy twit- tering of birds, the sweet breath of the woodlands had come to them through the twilight.
 He was a perfect lover, Alice thought, considerate, understanding, strong. Nothing could ever come be- tween them; nothing.
 The wedding was to be in March and Alice had come back to the city with her head full of dreams. At once they began that delightful task, the selection of their furniture.
 Alice wanted a studio with swinging Chinese lamps and lacquer tables and odd shaped satin cushions that were decorative rather than useful. Nor man had said he wanted big con- fortable chairs; and here their first difference had come.
 We don't want it to look like a mans club!" Alice had said.
 'Nor like a Chinese junk shOpW Norman had laughed.
 Next morning a letter had come.
 q can see now I've made a mis- take"
 She knew it by heart, had read the simple words, unbelieving at first, and : then in fearless anguish had walked the floor and at last mad flung herself, a disheveled little thing,-to weep out her eyes in the dimmest corner of her sitting room.
 He was tired of her! He had hid den 1t at first in his splendid, mascu- line way, but at last he had to write and tell her so. She loved him. She loved him more than ever and she knew she would be willing to live In an unpainted shack with an earth floor
 She stood up at last and went into her own room and tried to brush her hair with unsteady fingers. She looked at her swollen, pittful face with dis taste; she wondered how she was gO- ing to drag out the miserable empty days that lay ahead.
 And then she heard his voice call ing her.
 Alice! Alice" he cried sternly when she did not answer.
 The Lathrop's maid must have let him in. Alice couldn't face him now she felt But she must get it over some time
 "What's the matter?" he asked when he saw her dropping face in the dim room. He came toward her eager ly. q thought I'd write you at once Alice, and let you know. made a mistake from the first"
 She shrank back against the wall at this last cruelty.
 'T ought to leave all the selection in your hands,"
 q don't understand" she whis- pered.
 "Why, the furniture, darling. as though that matters, as though any thing matters, when I have yOu!"
 She was staring at him unbeliev- ingly. and then she put her hands over her face. The letter, the letter-it had meant only this!
 Come back in an hour, Norman, and have dinner here with me-" she said uncertainty.
 She waited until the door had closed on him to realize that joy had come back to her, that her dream was still hers and that greater than any dream was reality.
