NOT VERY FAR FROM CORRECT
MarJorie's Theme" short and to the
Point-Had at Least the Merit
Of conciseness.

The teacher had assigned a task to
the children that was causing them
considerable trouble. They were to
write a short theme on "What Makes
Great Cities" having Is minutes to
devote to the subject. Marjorie sat
chewing the end of her pencil, her
mind apparently a blank. Five min
utes passed, and still she had not writ
ten a word. Then minutes went by
and Marjorie's paper was still blank.
Twelve minutes. Fourteen.
"Only one minute more, children"
the teacher announced. Fold your
papers lengthwise and write your name
and the subject on the outside"
All at once Marjorie came to action.
She wrote frantically and when the
final minute was up she handed her
paper in with the rest, correctly fold
ed and labeled.
Curiosity got the better of the teach
err, and at the first opportunity she
slipped Marjorie's paper out of the
pile on her desk.
Marjorie JONES'" was written boldly
on the outside. "Subject-What Makes
Great Cities"
The teacher opened the paper and
found therein one written word-cov-
ering the subject more or less ade-
quately. That word was:

LIVE THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Ides That Some Trees Are immortal

Many Naturalists

The idea Of Immortality IN trees Z:
often met with In the works of the
ancients. observes writer In the New
York Sun. The historian, Joseplus
IN his Jewish War" relates that in
his day there was near the city Of
Elbron turpentine tree which was
as old as the days Of Adam.
II was reserved for modern natural
lists to show that these assertions,
however extraordinary they may ap-
pear. are still correct, and that many
Of our trees In some sort indestruct-
ible may have seen the nnal scene of
creation and. after Drawing the action
of so many ages, are still upright
and living to this day.
1t is now over hundred years since
Adanson, by ingenious calculations,
showed the learned that such Ideas,
though extraordinary, are yet facts Of
the most scrupulous exactitude. This
naturalist by happy chance found In
the Interior OF the trunk Of the baobab
in one Of the Cape Verde islands an
Inscription which had been traced on
1t by the English 800 years previously.
Starting from this point and compar-
ing the diameters of the stems Of
many of these bulky trees, the French
savant succeeded In proving that the
most vigorous of these primitive in
habitants of the African forests might
be at least 5000 years old.

they returned and spent two weeks
with their friends. Though the cat

city they left the cat behind. A few
days later it was missing from its

NEW YORK, July 4.-For the
first time in history Of aeronautics.
plans are under way today for a
flight around the world in a super.
hydro-airplane to carry 10 passen-
gers.
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske,
U. s. N. retired. honorary presi-
dent of the American Eagle, a
group of engineers and aeronauti-
cal experts, on behalf of the body
has issued challenges by cable to
all important countries of the globe
to compete in the flight.
1T will not be speed competi-
ton" declared Admiral Fiske, but
one based purely on efficiency. 1t
is the contention of the engineers
planning the trip that America can
build an airplane capable of circum-
navigating the whole world"
He said the group was especially
anxious to have Great Britain en-
ter the race, as that country has
made great strides in flying devel.
opment.
Already engineers are at work
on plans for the huge air liner, II
