 @S' HumIi ating Flight.

For a long time bears have been known to be humorous, but not until a few days ago was it demonstrated that a black bear, if properly ap- preached will display artistic ieanlngs, remarks d writer ill the New York Sun. Somewhere in the dim lore or bruin generations there may have been bears that had. artistic inclina- tion or the subject of this story may be the advance agent of a new ultra tendency in wild life. Every Supposi- tion, however, fails to explain saris- factOruy how a black bear in the will derness of the Allegheny park could learn enough about a camera to take pictures.
 - Nevertheless, 1t is true that at least one bear knows photography, accord ing to R. s. Craig. a forester. from the New York State College of Forestry. Craig is engaged by the park com mission to assist in making study of the timber growth in the new state park. Black bears have always been 9pfentiful in this section, where the Allegheny river winds through the amountains down to the Ohio. Craig was cruising through the forest gath >ering timber data. He left his camera on log and was looking around for good subject to snap when he discov- cred a big black bear browsing in some berry bushes.
 Craig was surprised. He neglected to think of the camera in the concen- trated effort to place distance be- tween himself and the bruin. He ran down the trail back to the camp and informed two companions of the pres ence of the black bear The three men went back to the spot, but the bear had disappeared. The camera Craig left on the log was still where he placed it, but plate had been ex- posed. This did not attract attention
 until the plate was developed and showed him in rapid flight down the trail

Promotion of "pure EnoIish. ."

In England, as ill the United States, the subject of preserving the purity of the English language from the effects of slang, loss of grammatical distinc- lions, etc, has recently attracted much attention. One of the results of the movement in England is the formation of the Society for Pure English. The society was founded in 1913, but was compelled by the war to postpone it's activities. The reason for the exist .ence of the society is, given as "the duty of English-speaking peoples t" make their language adequate and efficient. and worthy of it's increasing and worldwide use. Its purpose is to. further the best interest of the language.hy the promulgation of sound knowledge" It is asserted that !he Society for Pure English does not in- tend to. dOgmatize but to open an in formal democratic court in which all questions may be argued on full in- rmation-Columbus Dispatch.

How Hills Produce Music.

Tn certain parts of the world are mountains and hills which are said by the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees certain cliffs emit plalntive sounds re sembling the strains of harp. Two other cliffs in the same chain are called "The Snores" When the wind Is in the southwest they send forth { peculiar sound not altogether unmusi
 cal. The faces of these cliffs are marked hy deep gullies open in front which may be compared to the pipes of an organ At certain times Strat
 um of air held between the cliffs and the bordering trees, closes the openings while the wind blows freely between through the gul}es or organ pipes behind; hence the music that Is heard.
