MuItiply Rapidlv

Enormous powers of rapid increase
are exhibited by both the animal and
the vegetable Kingdoms and these
powers of increase have insured the
continuance Of the various types of
existing life from the earliest geo.
logical ages in unbroken succession,
while being an important factor in the
production of new forms by adapta-
ton. A common weed produces three
fourths of a million seeds, and these,
If they all grew and multiplied, would
In three years cover the whole land
surface of the globe. 1t has been cal
culated that the slowest breeding of
all animals, the elephant, would. in
$50 years, from single pair, produce
100000 individuals. Rabbits would
from a single pair produce 100000
individuals in four or five years.

"saint MARITIME Summer.

In Europe the recurrence of mild
weather in the late autumn is known
as Saint Martins summer and has
been recognized for probably a thou
sand years. The legend is that Saint
Martin dressed as a beggar, sat be-
fore the portal of a church on an
exceptionally bleak day of the late
fall. He was suffering severely from
exposure. A knight passing the
church saw the shivering beggar, and,
tearing his coat in two, gave the beg
gar half. In recognition Of the act
Saint Martin, by perpetual miracle,
caused mild weather to return annu-
ally at this season. The half-warmth
or the half summer symbolizes the half
warmth Of the part of the knights
cloak. Saint Martins summer was an
Institution long before the Indians or
Indian summer were known, but it is
the same phenomenon known by diff
ferent name.

SEIZE VALUABLE GOODS
Five Explosions Wreck Railroads
and WireS-HeavieSt DAM
age Since Occupation.

Dusseldorf-Five separate bomb ex-
plosions on the Ruhr railroads during
the night cut railway telegraph and
telephone communications, temporar-
lily disorganizing traffic. French head
quarters said the explosions had
caused the most serious damage since
the beginning of the occupation.
During the confusion the Germans
made a series of efforts to run the GUS
toms barrier into interior Germany,
but large quantities of goods which
the Germans were trying to get
through were seized by the French.
The explosions tore up sections Of
track and blew down the wire along
side in each instance. In one case near
Bomann, French troop train heavily
loaded, had a narrow escape. The ex-
plosions cut the line from the eastern
Ruhr to Dusseldorf, which is much
used for troop movements end the
carriage of supplies.
Four other lines were cut in the
vicinity of Hattingen.
The destruction will delay transpor-
tation for several days while the dam
age is being repaired.
Besides these cases of violence the
French authorities report that an at
tempt was made to wreck passenger
train near Mayence by placing huge
pieces Of iron and steel on the tracks.

Old japanese Divorce Custom.

Divorce in old Japan was called Mi
kudari han (three lines and a half)
from the fact that when the husband
wanted to get rid of his wife all he
had to do was to give her letter con-
sisting Of three and half lines.
There Is an old usage that one who
proposes to marry has to draw up a
written contract consisting of seven
lines and submit it to the mother of
the fiancee. And love letters used to
be written in three and half lines.
The only recourse for illtreated wives
in the Togukawa period was the spe-
cial institution Of the divorce tenn
pie. Women who hated their husbands
and resorted to the temples of nuns
might be allowed to return to their
parents home after three years dis
cipline in the temple.-Asia Magazine.

On Safe Ground,

Whenever Captain Dillaby went to
the city on holiday he would take
some young relative for a treat. On
one such occasion he told his seven
teen-year-old grandson that they
would dine at real cafe and get "a
taste of fancy cooking" When they
were at last seated in the great din
ing room the grandson waited impa-
tiently while the captain read the
menu completely through without
emitting single article. At last he
sighed and handed the card across
the table to the boy. "You choose
what you like, sonny" he said. GAS
for me, reckon as I've already eat
more herrin' than any other man
Twin. I might as well stow away a
little more. It's always agreed with
me so far. "-Harper's Magazine.

Government Saving system

The u. S. Government Saving Sys-
tenn is permanent institution. begin
ming as helper in raising money to
carry on the war it grew rapidly and
finally developed into real neces-
sity. 1t was found that many people
who had money would not invest it
or deposit it with any institution that
was not operated by the Government.
The word of Uncle Sam is what such
people wanted before they would
take their money from the old stock
ings or cubby holes and tea canisters
and place it where it would earn a
fair interest and have the principal
returned to them at the end of the
term of investment. War Savings
Certificates proved popular with in
vestors in small amounts, but they
were not adapted to peace conditions,
nor was the War Savings Organiza-
ton of the Treasury Department able
to handle after-war conditions. So
a new saving security was devised
and the U. S. Government Savings
System was created and made a per-
manent part of the Treasury's fiscal
policy.
The new system not only sells the
new savings certificates but is con-
Quoting a nationwide campaign to
encourage saving and to discourage
the tendency toward taking chances
with all the fake investments that are
offered by sharpers and swindlers
who deal in bogus stocks and other
worthless securities. In a brief but
interesting form the Government
Savings System tells what it is doing
in booklet recently issued. 1t is sent
free to anyone who is interested
enough to write to the Treasury De-
partment at Washington for it.

Mine Mules Retain Sight.

The mule of the coal mine spends
years of his life in darkness under
ground, yet in spite of disuse and I'M
like other animals, he does not lose his
eyesight. So veterinarians in the an
thracite region have determined. With
this announcement the veterinarians
exploded a theory held by many for
years-that because he did not have
any use for his eyes, the mule lost his
sight The coal mine mule usually be-
gins life like any common farm mule.
Once he becomes mine worker, how
ever, things change. He is sent far
under ground into the dark workings
Of the hard coal mines, and there he
stays, often for the remainder of ibis
life. Being hardy animal, he some
times remains in the mines for 20
years without seeing daylight.

The Great Continental Lines,

The completion of the first railway
which made it possible to go by rail
from the Atlantic to the Pacific was
celebrated May 10, 1869, when a gold
spike was driven in commemoration
Of the joining Of the Central Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads at Prom
Ontory, Utah. The scene was COM
memOrated by Bret Harte in a poem
and preserved for the admiration Of
the future by a massive painting,
which was reproduced in an engrav-
Ing which had wide popularity. The
similar last spike of the Northern Pa
cifc was driven September 8, 1888,
near the mouth of Gold creek in Mon
tana. On the earliest road the first
through car from the Pacific reached
New York July "a, 1870.

Abbey's "HoIv GraiI0

1t would be interesting to know how
many of the thousands of persons who
have visited the Boston library to see
the finished pictures have given a
thought to the labor which had to pre-
cede the actual painting. We think of
an artist as one who dips his brush
into the color and continues to do so
until the canvas is covered. That GER
tainly underestimate the seriousness
at any rate of the conscientious his
torical painter; and this book will
have been mishandled if by the end Of
it a new conception of the arduous-
ness of his toll is not established. But
in the ''Holy Grail" decorations Abbey
had to be more than an historical
painter, he had to be poet, too.-E.

The Stradiyarius NioIins.

Stradivarius was born in 1914 and
died in 1877. He worked until he was
over ninety years. Of age and turned
out a large number of violins and
violincellos- Altogether, according to
estimates, about one thousand violins
and about three hundred other instru-
ments are attributed to him. These
other instruments include different
kinds of viols, some bass viols and
also some lutes, guitars and mandaros,
very exquisitely wrought. The label
in genuine Stradivarius instrument
Is supposed to have been made of pa
per. Only an expert can distinguish a
genuine instrument.
