The SINGER and the SONG.

A song Is a great adventure. Thou
sands write it, tens succeed; and
when they have succeeded, It's fate
still lies entirely with the singer. No
one ever had it so much in his power
to make the worse appear the better
cause. or to refrain from so doing.
The ancients placed Thamyris and
Narada among the gods; the moderns
pay their counterparts royalties. But
the singers personality is still incal'
culable in terms of canOnization or OF
cash. That personality means all that
he has been able to crowd into his life
and he may still enlarge it. A good
way to do that Is to read all the poetry
that he does not sing, and TO listen 70
all the music written for some other
instrument than the yoice.-A. II. Fox
Strangways.

SEEING POWER or INSECTS
Interesting Data Collected in connee-
tion With Studies In Comparison
With the Human Eye.

Very curious data have been collect
cd In regard to the seeing powers OF
insects. The human eye IN perfect
condition is able TO see objects eepa-
rately that are only one minute Of arc
apart. Put two Ajects, as, for In.
stance, two black circles, on white
ground just one inch apart and then
place them at distance Of about
1854 feet. As seen with the naked
eye the apparent space between the
circles will be a minute Of arc. This
space is plainly the limit OF detail Wis
ible to the unassIsted human eye.
Now 1t might be supposed that an
insect, having a compound eye, would
be able to see more detail than we do;
In other words, could separate small
objects closer together. As matter
of fact, owing to the small aperture of
the lenses composing the facets Of the
eye, and the spacing between the
facets, insects see less detail than
we do.
1t has been calculated that dragon
fly cannot see separately two objects
that are placed less than one degree
apart In other words, to such an in
sect two silver coins lying on table
three inches apart, and viewed from a
distance exceeding 14h feet, would
appear as single object.
Bees and flies, according to the
same investigator. are still more linn
tied in their ability to see the details
of objects presented to their eyes. A
fly could see the two silver coins above
described separately only at dis
lance not exceeding about seven feet.
1t has been remarked as conse-
quence of this that we can see the de-
tails on the antennae of fly at dis
lance of two feet or more better than
the fly itself can, though they are but
the fraction of an inch from Its eyes.

CURED MONARCH OF AvARICE
Power of Turning Everything He
Touched Into Gold Quickly Pailed
on King Midas.

II was because King Midas helped
a drunken companion of Bacchus to
sober up that he received the power
Of turning everything into gold at his
touch. Bacchus had offered to grant
Midas anything he asked, and the
king wished this unpleasant power
upon himself, according to Ovid.
Midas enjoyed himself immensely
at first, turning twigs, apples, stones
and clods Of earth into gold. But the
trouble began as soon as he sat down
to eat. The bread he touched turned
to gold and defied his teeth. The wine
flowed down his throat as liquid
gold.
According to an embellished ver-
sion of the myth, the browning mis-
fortune wrought by Midas curse in
blessings elise was when. in the act
OF caressing his little daughter. he
turned the child into golden
statue.
Bacchas had been aware that the
gift was anything but desirable.
SO, believing Midas cured Of avarice,
he sent the king to wash away the
power IL. the fountainhead of the
River Pactolus. AS result of his
bath, tine sands of that river remain
golden 10 this day.

SPEED CRAFTS COMING
SeveralNew Speed Boats Due
on Lower Chain This Year
Said That Limit Will Be
the Sky.

From advance information, If
the same is authentic, there will
be some speed" shown this sum-
mer on the lower Chain of lakes
lying out from this village. Last
year a record of 31.S miles per
hour was made by the "Pee-Jay"
owned by p. J. Schaefer. Other
boats in the twenty mile class are
quite plentiful, but with the adj
dition of the new craft this sum-
mer, they will be out of the run
ming.
1t is said that at least three
new speed launches will be oper-
ated here on the Eagle chain.
Mr.. Schaefer has a new one now
on its way to Eagle River, that
is said to have it all over his last
years boat in speed. What the
other two crafts will develop IN
speed will be determined upon
their arrival.
The Eagle chain of lakes are
admirably adapted for the use of
speed craft, and there is no ques-
ton but that launching in all its
oldtime fascination will be re-
vived. OF course it will be on a
greater scale of speed. Time was
when DIR. Johnson, L. J. Dearborn
and Baker G. Buettner were the
sole owners of what was then
mighty speedy boats. Several
hundred more were in the twelve
nile an hour class, and considered
their crafts as regular racers.
Now they are way behind the
race for speed. At that time
hundreds of launches on both the
chains of lakes were operated up
on these waters, but after the in
PRODUCTION of the gas wagon and
flivver, launching died an unnat-
ural death.

Mitchells Arrive for Summer.

John f. Mitchell and son drove
through from st. Louis to their
summer home on Yellow Birch
lake, arriving here the first of the
week. They made it here in three
days and claim there was not
mile of really bad road in the en-
tire distance travelled. When
asked yesterday morning when
they arrived, neither the father or
son could remember the exact day.
That is easily accounted for.
Their anxiety 10 get to their
North Woods home as soon as pos
sible, and start their summer va
cation in a country where man
has not falsified its beauties is
responsible for forgetting when
and how they got here.
Can't blame 'em a bit. When
we people who live here every day
of the year forget all the hard
ships of winter when summer
comes with her beauties, then
why should we blame any outside
man or woman who have been tied
up in a big city with all its noise
and dust and dirt; its lack of
real honest-to-goodness friend
ships. We do not.
This country has been made for
the real man and woman who
wants Nature unspoiled; wants to
see the trees and waters in all
their loneliness and miss all the
falsities OF artificial life.
Mrs. Mitchell and other men,
bers of the family will arrive lat
er in the month, as soon as school
closes in St. Louis. They will
then spend the entire summer and
fall seasons here.
