Rain Song

Rain Song
1t is not raining rain to me,
It's raining daffodils;
In every dimpled drop I see
Wild Aowers on the hills.
The clouds of gray engulf the sky
And 'overwhelm the town;
1t is not raining rain to me,
It's raining roses down.
It is not raining rain to s1ne,
But fields Of clover bloom,
Who're any buccaneering bee
Can find bed and room.
A health unto the happy,
A fig for him who frets,
1t is not raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.

don Is Only Rung on Extremely

The great bell of st. Paul's is only
tolled on the death of any member
of the royal family in the line of de-
scent from any English sovereign.
The honor is paid only to member
of the royal family who could under
any conceivable circumstance succeed
to the throne; though 1t may be doubt
ed whether the bell would toll for a
royal infant not in the direct line of
succession. This rule does not apply
to the consort of the sovereign, of the
heir apparent, or Of a prince or
princess On the steps Of the throne.
The booming of the great bell of st.

the citizens of London received Of the

Much Soil Unsurveyed.

Slightly more than one-third of the
United States has been surveyed by
the bureau of soils of the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
little more than half Of this area has
been covered by detailed surveys
showing the extent and distribution
OF the various soils by types; the rest
has been covered by reconnaissance
maps showing the soils in larger
groups. There are in some of the
western states large areas of noun
famous lands and deserts, where there
Is no immediate prospect of irrigation.
or of grazing, and for which there will
likely be no need Of soil surveys.

Arsenic in Nature.

1t has long been known that traces Of
arsenic are to be found not only in
human and animal organisms but in
certain plants such as the cabbage,
turnip and potato and in wheat. Jadin
and Astrue, members Of the French
Academy of Sciences, found also that
arsenic is to be encountered in rice.
peas, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus,
parsnips, and in most vegetables used
as food by man, as well as in apples,
pears, pineapples, oranges and nuts.
Since plants undoubtedly get the ele-
ments from the soil arsenic must Oc-
cur far more widely in nature than
was at one time supposed.
