Mirage in History.

A mirage is an optical illusion, by
which images Of distant objects are
seen often as If inverted, below the
ground or raised in the atmosphere. 1t
is frequently observed on the western
plains of Canada and the United
States. 'The phenomenon is best OBJ
served in the Egyptian or other des-
erts, and the inverted images so much
resemble these made in water as to
create the Illusion that lake is really
near. The mirage was known In an
cient Jewish times. 1t is mentioned
In Isaiah 1857: "And the parched
ground shall become pool and the
thirsty land springs. Of water" The
Fata Morgana, what sailors call the
"loomings," the Flying Dutchman, the
Enchanted Island, Cape F1yaway, etc.,
are all produced by the mirage.

Orchard Survey in
commercial Counties

The U. S. and State Departments OF
Agriculture through the Virginia Crop
Reporting Service are making a sur
.vey of the fruit industry in the COM
mercial counties of Virginia. Accurate
information of the number of bearing
trees of each variety of apples is need.
ed in order to solve the many prob.
lens relating to the efficient marketing
of Virginia fruit. Such information
will also assist the Department in
making more complete estimates of the
crop.
A list of 1900 commercial growers
has been compiled, and to each grower
an inquiry is being mailed this week
requesting the number of trees of the
various varieties of apples in his
orchard and also the number of peach
trees.
As this survey is vitality important
to the interest of each Commercial
grower in the State, it is necessar,
that each orchardist give the informa
ton regarding his paintings, and ther
return the schedule TO the Virgin
Crop Reporting Service at Richmond
The State Horticultural Society r.
Division of Markets, the Exteusie
Division, and the local Fruit Grower,
Associations are cooperating to max,
this survey success.
Shenandoah County is one of q,
most important commercial fruit grow
ing counties of the State. Each or
chardist should report the number O
trees in his orchard that the count,
may be completely represented in thi
survey.

Avoid Habit of WORRYING.

Worry is a form of friction. Thu
task of the expert in life is to rur
his machine with the maximum Of &C

he stops or slows the machine, be

the friction, then life has beaten him
The general human tendency is to stoI

Problem In Psychology.

A eommuter who spends most Of his
time on the train thinking instead Of
playing bridge or reading the papers
has a new problem that he has been
unable to solve.
Il buy a monthly ticket, which en-
titles me to two rides each day, Sun
days included" he says. II never
come to town on Sunday and so I
have four or five round-trip tickets
left over at the end of the month
When holiday comes along I haze
another one Occasionally the con-
ductor fails to punch my ticket and
can't help having feeling of ex-
'ultation, a sort of idea that am
ahead of the game In some way. Of
course the extra ride is simply added
to the unpunched rides on the ticket
at the end of the month and is no real
gain.

gaining something Of absolutely no
value to me? Perhaps Einstein could
answer. I CAN'T Chicago Journal.

What's Inside the sunf

Carbon has been subjected to fierce
. heat energy and to very high pressure
at the same time to be formed into a
rigid solid, the diamond. Carbon in
the central regions of giant suns is
subjected to an intensity Of energy
of heat far greater than any that can
be secured by electro-chemlsts in lab
oratories In either highly condensed
sparks between metallic terminals or
arcs. 1t is not known what effect such
intense energy of heat has on the
atoms OF elements, for none so intense
Is available to science. Atoms in the
interiors of highly ineandeseent suns
may be resolved back to primordial
electrons; or electrons may never have
revolved around nuclei to form atoms
Then solar interiors would be cleo

Held Commanding Position.

A countryman was In charge Of a
couple of live hares, which he was
conveying by rail. He had to change
at station and wait some time.
To pass the time he took the basket
in which the hares were confined out
side the station and put 1t down In
the road. The lid had been tied
down loosely, and one Of the hares
managed to get out.
The man rushed after it, but all to
no purpose; and Just as he got back
the other hare jumped out and ran
away in the opposite direction.
The countryman made no attempt
to follow, but, pointing first one way
and then the other, said: do you
go there and do you go there If you
like. I've got the tickets"

Sleeps Important place in World.

One man alone could not lock after
a whole flock, so the first shepherd
called in others, who lived In scattered
huts or in caves, far apart, to assist
him, offering in return a share of the
wool and the meat that were now so
easy to obtain. And so at the edge Of
the pastures the first villages grew up.
Thanks, largely to sheep, human So
ciety came into being, and with 1t came
laws and customs for the benefit of
the little community.
The next tremendous step was the
discovery of how to spin wool into
yarn and weave yarn into cloth, which
paved the way for manufactures and
commerce.

Save the Song Birds.

OhoCi thC aboPiSS Va SuS otees
Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries it has beeu my priv.
ilege to lecture to most of the
high schools of Virginia, and a
number of colleges on Wild Life
Conservation. Everywhere there
is great enthusiasm in behalf OF
our Crusade to save our song
birds and game birds from extinc.
ton.
The Legislature of Virginia
has not in its history before pass
ed law that meant such a boon
to song birds, game birds and
poultry as does the statewide
bounty law, Acts OF the General
Assembly OF 1922, Chapter 10.
This makes it mandatory upon
boards of Supervisors in every
county in Virginia to pay bount-
les of so cents each on Cos hawks
Cooper's hawks, Sh arp-shinned
hawks, Great Horned owl and
WeaselS and Is cents on crows.
Before the statewide bounty law
only about half of the counties
of the State paid the optional
bounty, Hence the impossibility
to get concerted action in Kidding
the State of pests. Now we are
cleared for action. The Attorney
General has ruled that the boun-
ty law is mandatory and that
county boards have no longer any
discretion in the matter. So,
they are coughing up the dough-
with alacrity If not with smile,
and thrifty boys are in high gle e
over the promptness with VIII ich
they can now cash in their pest
heads. Besides the cash bount-
les, cash prizes amounting to
$500 will be awarded to those
killing the most hawks, owls ard
crows between June l, 1928 and
June /. 1924. Public spirited hard
ware dealers in different parts of
the State have also put, on my
request, four fine pump guns,
five repeating rifles and a whole
raft of smaller prizes. These
will be awarded Nov IS. 1928
to those killing the most hawks.
owls and crows in certain ocalI
tiles. Ask your hardware dealer
a bout the terms for winning the
prize he offered. Four crows count
as one hawk or owl on prizes.
Let those contesting for prizes
bear in mind that any attempt at.
buying up scalps to win a prize
By fraud will bar from all prizes
Prosecution will follow. We
want to award these prizes
The scalps must be
taken to the County Clerks
(neyer mail them. Clean out the
brains and salt scalp to prevent
putrefation. Steel traps on poles
will catch hawks and owls
Crows can be baited and shot
from blinds. A scheme that
works clisrmlnglv is to get a
Young crow and use him as a
decoy. One man in Virginia
took crippled crow and an old
cat, tied one Of the pests at one
end Of a string and the other a
the off end and put them out near
the woods. The man killed 4oI
crows. shooting until his gun
got too hot to shoot Tying
cat up tree near a crows nest
brings black troop. Some gent
leman used stuffed owl on
pole, near Fishers Island, N. J ;,
and killed 462 hawks in three
hours. with five guns. But,
these gentlemen were plain pix
ers at hawk killing compared to
that old scout in Michigan. By
using a live owl as decoy the
Michigander killed away over A.
900 hawks in a short time.
