Now, Lem Threet of Lowell, speaks
up in the Lowell Chronicle and in I'M
certain terms and clarion voice tells
the world that sage chickens DO eat
grasshoppers.
He said that he had examined the
craws of a couple of chickens during
the past week and they were literally
packed with hoppers.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Threet that
they do twice the amount of good in
this particular than the tame chicken
does and in fact he said he would
rather have a hunter kill a half dozen
tame chickens than one sage hen.

Lucy Lowell Says Training in
StenOgraphy Builds Stable
Character
BY Lucy Lowell.
Character

q HE is just nineteen, this girl
called Elsie, and some of her
~ years-perhapS one or two or
even three-have been devoted to
pot-hooks and typewriter keys. For
Elsie is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT g. good
one.
There is nothing specially roman
tic or inspiring to the imagination
about being a stenographer in a
business or professional office.
Unlocking the door at five min
utes of 9-before the boss gets
down-sorting the mail-sharpen-
ing the days allotment Of pencils
opening a box of fresh carbon
sheets-answering the telephone.
Yet the repetition of such rou-
tine day after day, week after
week, would build broad streak
OF method through the character,
1t seems to me. The hit.or-miss
manner Of tackling work would be
ruled out Of the disposition, no
matter how instructive it might be.
Sitting hour after hour, quietly
and composed, while well-trained
fingers put the spoken word on
paper, in lines and dots and dashes,
must build patience in addition to
method. For there are few things
so necessary to the false starts and
sudden stops, hesitation and unex.
pected flow Of word 1t seems to
me, as great patience.
The third and fourth streaks
would be decision and accuracy,
acquired through the task Of trans
feIrlng word symbols to paper, and
IrlSI
And there you have the basis Of
strong and admirable character
method, patience, decision and
accuracy. And these. In view or
what later came to the girl called
Elsie, were what she had.
But she had something else, too.
She was stenOgrapher In a law Of
flee. you see. and so l believe she
developed her store Of tolerance
and sense of values. Only contact
with the undercurrents of human
nature confer those qualities. And
human nature flows over and be-
meath and through the law.
SO 1t was that when all unex-
pectedly she came into a fortune
of two million dollars, entirely
her own to have and to hold with
the prospect of ever so many more
dollars awaiting her in the future,
she was neither unduly elated nor
thrown out of her calmly moving
way.
She merely took day or two
off from work to arrange her bust
ness affairs and then went back
to her pothooks and typewriter.
But what are you going to do
with it?" all her friends asked.
Surely you're not going to go on
being a stenosrapher, now that
you've all that money to spend!
I'm going to go On being a
stenographer until l can think out
what l want TO do and how l can
spend the money to the best ad-
vantage" was Estes reply.

come.
Question No. 1.-The magnify
ing power of any telescope de-
ponds upon the ratio between the
piece used and the focal length
of the object-glass, or mirror,
which Is, Of course. invariahle.
The diameter of the mirror, or
object-glass, determines the guam
tify Of light gathered at the focus
and thus indirectly affects the
magnifying power, since every in
crease in magnification uses up
greater amount of the light by
spreading it over a broader sur
face.
Experience has shown that the
extreme magnifying power that
can be effectively employed on
any telescope is about 100 to the
inch of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
meaning the diameter of object.
glass, or mirror. Thus, with ten
inches aperture the extreme avail
able magnification would be 1000
times. But in practice, owing to
atmosphere and other causes,
this would be reduced to not
over 500. For most purposes
only 200 or 800 would be used.
Eyepiece Size Aide.
To obtain such powers on
telescope of nine feet, or 108
inches, focal length, the eyepiece
should have a focal length in
inches equal to 108 divided by the
desired power. For instance, an
eyepiece OF half an inch focus
would give about 200 fnagnifica-
ton. To get a magnification Of
500, the eyepiece would have to
be very short-about one-fifth
inch focus. This would not be
easily manageable, but there is
which renders it possible to OBJ
tain high powers without such ex.
tremely short eyepieces.
Question No. 3.-The apparent
size of a planet depends upon its
distance from the earth. Jupiter
when in opposition has an angu-
lar diameter of about forty-four
seconds OF arc. With magnifi-
cation of forty-two this becomes
equal to the angular diameter OF
the moon. The diameter of Sa-
turns rings in opposition Is
nearly the same as that Of Jupi.
ter's globe. Mars in opposition
has diameter Of about twenty
four seconds and a magnification
Of seventy-five or eighty makes
him equal in angular size to the
moon.

NORWAY MAID
IN SCOTTISH
HISTORY
BY Mark Stuyvesant.

TN NHE thirteenth century the
Norwegians laid claim and
siege of the islands around
the northern part Of Scotland.
During the conflict they made a
night attack on the Scottish army
encamped on the shore.
At this time the brave King
Alexander III, who was valiantly
leading his troops, was killed
when his horse stumbled and both
rider and horse were hurled over
a precipice.
The only heir Of King Alex
ander was his little grandchild.
Margaret, the daughter Of Eric.
King of Norway, and it is as
THE Maid Of Norway" that this
little child, who formed a pecu-
liar link in the chain Of Scottish
history. Is known.
Margaret was born in 1888 in
Norway and in 1890 when she was
but seven years old, was told
that on her head would be placed
the crown of Scotland. Without
delay. preparations were made
for her voyage across the sea to
the kingdom over which she ex-
pected to rule.
The little queen, accompanied
by many mobiles, warriors and
ladfes-ln- waiting set sail for Scot
land, but she was never to put
her foot on Scottish soil. During
the voyage the child was taken
desperately Ill. while the ship
was nearing the Islands of Ork-
ney in the far north.
The little queen-to-be was car
ried ashore and in a very short
while the poor child died.
Had she lived, perhaps the his
story Of Scotland would not have
been as complicated nor as stormy
as it was on account of her death.
For now was the time when
many of the barons organized
armies, each prOclaiming his
right to the throne of Scotland.
Here was the opportunity for
King Edward l of England to
declare that the kings Of Scotland
were the Vassals of the Kings
of England. His army invaded
Scotland, caused distress and set
up a bloody warfare between the
two nations.
Toward the end OF Edwards
life, the great Robert Bruce rose
up. proclaimed the Scottish crCwn
as his own and rallied the Scot
fish chiefs around him for their
great fight for Scottish indeuen.

Reflection Preferable.
The mirror Of a reflector, on

principal disadvantages are the
need of greater care in preserving

GHICAGO, Sept. 13.-An limo
walton in the treatment of
~ prisoners awaiting trial in
Chicago will be made soon, pro-
vided the board Of education ap-
proves tentative plans of the
school administration committee
to broaden the knowledge of
these offenders.
Judge Hugo Pam, chairman Of
the subcommittee of civic organi.
cations sponsoring the welfare
plan, told International News Serv-
ice a few of the things which
the committee hoped to accom-
plish if a system of education for
men and women prisoners is given
a trial.
There can be little doubt that
any plans which have the educa :
ton of those unfortunates who
become embroiled in the meshes
Of the law as their objective will
prove of great benefit to them
and also to society as a whole"
Judge Pam said.
Our committee feels that if
first offenders can be separated
from the hardened criminals dur
ing their incarceT alton they will
be much more likely to tread the
straight and narrow path after
they have been released.
Hundreds Of youths sent 20

all the way from six months to

few of them on misdemeanor
charges.

acquitted, and again many are

Under the present system these
offenders-large numbers of whom
are mere boys-are thrown into

become habitual criminals-men
who previously have been con-
victed Of the most vicious and
serious crimes.
