Supreme Bird Singers
UnknouOn to Amssyles

The most famous four birds In Eng
Iish literature are the nightingale, the
blackbird, the cuckoo, and the sHEylaEsE
All four are unknown in America We
have the yellOwbill anA blRckbin
cuckoo, but they are quito unlike the
English variety.
AS for the blackbird. I thoroughly
agree with Theodore Roosevelt and
with Lord Grey that he is the finest
singer in England. When read many
years ago Tennyson's peeni to the
blackbird, celebrating the beauty Of
his music, 1 could not imagine what
caused the poets enthusiasm; the
word blackblrd had for me quite diff
ferent connotation.
Our red-winged blackbird, with the
scarlet epaulets, has only genial
wheeze; while the so-called crow
blackbird sings as though he had ton
silitis, or as though his voice were
adolescently changing. But the British
and the Continental blackbirds emit
the most heavenly music, In spring
dawns in Germany they used to wake
me up at four o'clock; never thought
of throwing bootjacks at them, for /
was entranced by the melody.
One February day, while standing In
front Of the University of Munich dur
ing q violent snowstorm, saw a
blackbird on the branch of a tree; he
had his beak pointed toward the wind.
and, while the snowflakes beat upon
his little face, he poured out stream
Of the loyeliest music in the world.
Many reasons have been given why
no one of this supreme quartet can
live in the United States; when they
are imported, they die Some say they
cannot get the right diet-what nom
sensei 1t has remained for me to dis
cover and to announce the true reason.
1t is because we have not sufficiently
great poets. When nightingale. who
is accustomed to hearing tributes from
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Words
worth, Keats, comes hither and is
greeted by American poets. he dies

Victoria Inpested Wisely

Through the good advice Of Disraeli,
her chief adviser, Queen Victoria Of
England, invested in Suez canal stock
and was thus enabled eventually to
leave additional millions to her chill
dren. She also was one of the original
owners of a share in the New River
Water company which provided the
water supply for London. The water
shares, originally worth pound $3.50,
enhanced in value to where they were
worth millions. and even the richest
of others like the Rothschilds were
forced to be content later with six
teenth or a thirty-secondth of share.

Chin0's Trade in Bones

For many years, the economical chi
.nese have put animal bone to good use
for various ornamental and practical
articles and for fertilizer, but the traf
fic in this commodity in recent times
has greatly increased so that now they
are said to be importing large quaint
ties. During the first six months Of
1923 Shanghai alone imported nearly
1900 tons of COW bone valued at mort
than $23S,000. principally for tile-gams
makers. In 1922, China exported more
than $1.0OO.000 worth Of bone.-Popu

SARCASSO is SEA
OF MANY SECRETS
Expedition Win Explore
Mysterious Region.

AS If an enormous giant had put his
finger into the sea and stirred 1t
round, the entire North Atlantic ocean
slowly revolves in the direction Of the
clocks hands.
In the center is the Sargasso sea, a
gigantic collection of floating islands,
made of seaweed and inhabited by
countless living things.
Nobody knows how Herodotus, In
ancient times, came by the alarming
stories he told Of this mysterious re-
gion, for 1t is only during recent years
that it has been properly charted.
When Columbus and his men were
drawn into this oval-shaped vortex, his
ship remained out of control for 10
days, and the crew thought they were
condemned to perish in watery
prison, closely guarded by seaweed
barriers for 100000 square miles. But
q strong wind luckily carried the ship
to safety.
Supported in the water by small air
balloons, the feathery weeds of Sar-
gasso are mostly olive-brown In color,
with blotches of white. The chief
source Of supply has been proved to
be the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean sea.
Sailors do not like this strange tract
which floats, almost like land, on the
bosom of the Atlantic 1t is reputed
to be the home of barbarous fish and
the hiding place of mysterious mon
sters Animals drifting about on the
surface of the sea, with only the scat
tered cover Of moving seaweed, are
exposed to many dangers, not only
from the birds always lowering above,
but from hungry fish lurking in the
patches of uncovered sea, which is the
bluest in the world.
To protect themselves, all the living
creatures initiate, In a remarkable
way, the color of their floating home.
One grotesque little animal is conspic-
uous owing to the disproportionate size
of it's head and jaws, and resembles
the frog fish, sometimes seen near
British coasts.
Making its nest of seaweed bound
together by long cords of its own man
ufacture, this singular creature COM
bines all the characteristics of an ami
NAL, fish, and bird.
A short-tailed crab of the shell-less
type swarms on the Sargasso weed and
Is blotched with white to match the
light patches on its surroundings.
These and many more peculiar crea-
lures will be examined by Professor
Beebe, of New York, who recently set
out to explore this little-known re-
gion.
A secret ambition of the expedition
is to capture a monster squid, a terri
flying fish of the cuttlefish family, with
black eyes at least II inches in diam
eter and a body so feet in length. The
body Of these giants, one of which the
explorers hope to capture, Is wrapped
in loose mantle, from an opening in
which energies the evil-looking head
with its sharp, parrot-like beak.
This Sargasso monster is the tiger
of the ocean, and, like its striped coun-
terpart on land, is said to kill even
when not hungry-for the sheer pleas
ure of killing.

TO REDEEM WISCONSIN.

An important meeting is being held in Ke-
nosha this evening. It is the mass meeting OF
the real Republicans of Kenosha and Kenosha
county which is to be held at the court house
to select twenty-five delegates to represent
this county at the state Republican convention
at Oshkosh This meeting and meetings siTni-
lar to it are being held throughout the entire
state, and those voters who have the real in
terest Of the state at heart should at least
give them real consideration,
The avowed purpose of the movement of
which the Oshkosh convention and the Keno
sha mass meeting is part is ito redeem Wis
consin" from the political enthralldom which
has held it for nearly decade. If you are not
interested in a change in political conditions
in the state of Wisconsin, you have no reason
to attend this convention If you are inter
ested it is not only your privilege but Your
duty to attend. - s.>
Wisconsin has got into the condition which
it is politically not because it was the wish of
the majority of the voters of the state, but be-
cause this majority has not been active. Too
long the real Republicans have passively fail
ed to take any part in a. movement which would
give them the power in the state which they
deserve. Tonight the real Republicans of Ke-
nosha have an opportunity to show that they
are interested in redeeming Wisconsin by at
tending the mass meeting called to name dele
gates to the state gathering. If real Repub-
licans will show the same interest in political
affairs that they showed in the olden days,
there is no doubt but that the movement to put
Wisconsin in real Republican column will
succeed If they don't-wel it will be the
same old story.

1t was wonderful story.
poor emigran6 girl, like Cinderella Of fic-
ton, over night has her dream come true. From
near poverty she finds herself suddenly IN the
midst of luxury That was the strange case
Of Mary Spas in New York, whose story has
stirred the entire country.
The real significant part of the story was the
fact that with her sudden acquisition OF PROM
ised wealth and all the things that money
could buy, she did not get happiness. few
DAYS and she was tired of it all-ready to go
back home, 50 the papers said, where she
could be happy again.
How emphatically the modern day Clnder-
ella story teaches the truth that happiness IS
something which comes from within and can
not be bought Mary, left alone, had better
chance to grow up happy and contented in her
modest surroundings than when she was trans
planted into a paradise which she could not
understand or appreciate. The hopes we set
our hearts upon turn ashes, said philosopher
years ago, and Mary's case seems to prove
the truth of this assertion.
Her chance for happiness-and the chance OF
each and every one Of us-is to find it wher-
ever we are A determination on her part to
be happy whether she was clad in calicoes or
silks would have gone much farther to bring
about that condition than all of the wealth
that could have been showered on her.
Poor little Cinderella! The pity of it all is
that now that she has tasted luxury and not
found happiness it may also keep her from
finding it elsewhere. Let us hope not!

Daily Health Hint
IF you EAT Heartily, EXERCISE

Hundreds i of years ago Confucius,
the Chinese philosopher, said: Eat
sparingly and. walk far"
Wisdom of this statement is as OBJ
vious today as 'in the days of Confu-
cius. Hundreds of ills follow in the
wake of heavy eating.
A stuffed stomach causes heart
trouble, which often results in apo
ple15. 1t clogs the brain. Diebetes
often is caused from heavy eating.
However, if one takes exercise part
of the i'll effect of overeating is dis
sipated.
Walking builds a good constitution,
strengthens the heart, improves the
lungs, puts spring in the step, and
/ fills ones up to- the brin with energy
and optimism.
But few people get enough walking
EXERCISE. The business man !. gets
up, eats breakfast, smokes a cigar,
then takes his automobile or street
car to his office He sits till noon,
eats heavy lunch, sits till quitting
time, goes home, eats, rides in the
car for a while, then to bed.
He may get enough fresh air, but
he does not get enough exercise. It's
no wonder that so many business
men are dying with diabetes, heart
failure, apoplexy and other common
ailments.
