The Fireplace

A fireplace in the living room Is
symbolic Of hospitality and in the
mind Of the modern home builder il
practically essential. It's chief value
lies in its cheeriness, but it really
is fuel saver during the early fall
and late spring days when the
economy Of operating the entire
heating system is doubtful. The
coziness and comfort Of ones own
fireplace afford a degree Of salts
faction never obtained by putting
ones feet on the radiator; and the
family that has not had the pleas
ure Of sitting around the hearth
chatting, reading and watching the
glowing embers has never enjoyed
TO the fullest extent the comforts
Of home.

Mountains and Vales
In Depths of Ocean

Soundings have now been taken
Of the worlds deepest waters to a
depth Of $4,000 feet, and raised or
relief maps Of the sea bottom are
available. In crossing the ocean
one sails over mountain chains, val
leys and plateaus, says the Lon
don Express. In setting sail across
the Atlantic from the shores Of the
United States one first passes over
the continental Slopes" which ex-
tend far out like a great shelf. Be-
yond this Is q vast plain Of re-
markably uniform depth. II is fat
and featureless, interrupted only
by an occasional rock. This plain
continues on with scarcely a break
half way across the Atlantic.
A great ridge Of mountains Is
crossed which extends south from
Iceland and practically divides the
ocean in two. II is almost exactly
parallel with the eastern shores or
contour Of Europe and Africa. In
several places this ridge rises above
the level Of the ocean, as at the
Azores. 1t is estimated that II all
the mountains on the earth were
leveled of and used to I'LL in the
valleys the earth would be covered
by vast plateau, while the oceani

Japan is having trouble with .
tribe that inhabits the wilder parts
Of Korea. They have habit Of
burning down forests, which are not
plentiful in Korea, In order TO get
fresh soil for their crops. Another
bad habit Of theirs is avoiding soap
and water; they never battle from
the day they are born until they
die, yet they are healthy; at least
they never have the doctor or use
medicines. The marriage ceremony
among them consists merely in shak-

MINNESOTA WILL HAVE
IT'S OWN SOUR CHERRY

Minnesota No. Ia. plum
cherry hybrid developed by uni
versity men at the State Fruit
Breeding Farm, has been given
the name of Nicollet and is said
to be the nearest approach to a
true sour cherry that has yet
been obtained. OF the trees and
their fruits Fred E. HARRISON, as
sistant superintendent of the
fruit breeding station says:
"The trees are dwarfs, being
similar to Zumbra; are finely
branched. with small narrow
leaves and bearing fruits that are
round and red and similar in size
to the sour cherries shipped in
from Wisconsin and Michigan.
The fruits have small round
cherry-like pits which may be
squeezed free from the flesh and
have a real cherry flavor. The
Nicollet is especially desirable
for canning and for making pies.
The fruit ripens about August Is
to September / and holds on the
tree in an edible condition for a
longer period than do most
plums. 1t is sufficiently hardy
for most locations in Minnesota
