extend your whiskers straight out on
both sides, and when the path grows
narrower you will know it as quick as

are exactly as wide as your body, and
in each one is tiny nerve, which

MARIETTA

TAR as 1t seems to have strayed

the basis of the name, Marietta Is still
one of the sacred and holy names of
feminine nomenclature. Marion is it's
direct predecessor and through the
latter it preserves it's significance OF
"bitter."
When the French Marion was found

popularity of "Robin Hood" and in

HauUaii Not Entitled
to Credit for .Uke''

The ukulele, so long associated with
the weird, plaintive music of Hawaii
is not an Hawaiian invention, but was
introduced in the islands by the Portu-
guese in 1879. This iconoclastic dis
covery was made during recent re.
searches by Miss Helen NJ. Roberts
who made a collection Of ancient ma
tive songs and music for the territorial
government
"Ukulele" is the common term for
flea" and means. literally, "little
thing that jumps" The musical in
strument obtained its name from Ed

berlain of the court of King Kalakaua,
a very slight and active man, who be-
came very efficient performer on the
Portuguese instrument
Miss Roberts ascertained her facts
by inquiries among elderly Portuguese
residents of Honolulu.

Too Late! Too Late!

Years ago, when l considered my
self quite the debonair youth around
the home town, always raved at the

over my head" said a salesman in
Detroit hotel "The operation
mussed up my hair and was forced
to spend lot of time recombing it. In
later years, the now prevalent coatshirt
came along, with all it's virtues. But
by the time it had arrived my dashing
days had been curbed and l had lost
most Of my hair. SO I'm not quite as
grateful for the idea as should be if
the inventor had gone to work a few
years before and turned out his prod
uct when it would have saved me a lot

Not Comet. but Planet

The Tempel-Swift comet is still far
away from the earth. and the object
sighted on June % by M. Delporte. a
European astronomer, and supposed
to be the comet, is in reality a tiny
planet, Amphitrite, which has been
known to astronomers for many years.
This statement is made by DIR. Edwin
B. Frost, director of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory, as result of photographs
made of the object by DR.. George Van
Biesbroeck of the observatory staff.
"Delporte probably photographed
the moving object while searching for
the Tempel-Swift comet" said Doctor
Frost. Later computations which we
have received from England, however.
indicate that perturbations by Jupiter
will delay the return of that comet
until next year."

ODD CHANGES MADE
BY MOTHER EARTH
Some of Them Are Worry
ing Her Many Children.

Queer things have been happening
to Mother Earth of late. Her ague
quakes probably have not been I'M
usual, though America is prone to
think them so because so many have
happened in this land. But a
new shoal, with rock coming with

has been found in region where the
ocean was supposed to be 1000 feet
deep; new island is being built by
volcano in the Mediterranean, and the
Humboldt current that chills the west
coast of South America even as the
Gulf stream warns the west coast of
northern Europe has ceased to flow.
This last is by all odds the most
amazing and important development
recorded The Humboldt current.
coming out of the Antarctic ocean
with the chill of ancient ice in its
waves, and flowing up the west coast
of South America to the neighborhood
Of the equator, has always kept low
the temperature of the whole region.
But that has not been it's chief effect
Thanks to this drift of cold water,
the ocean has been cooler than the
land-therefore, winds setting land
ward got warmer as they went, and
consequently were never chilled into
rain
There are places on the coast of
Peru where rain has not fallen for
90 years, but 1t he's been coming in
torrents this year. The cold current
is gone, why or whittier no one
knows; wind blowing over the hot
equatorial waters is chilled as it
strikes the coast, and there has been
one thunderstorm after another.
If this condition persists. a host of
changes will result. The nitrate beds
of northern Chile and southern Peru
have been saved by the absence Of
rain. A dozen years like the present
will wash most of the nitrates into
the sea. A thousand miles of coast
land is now absolutely barren for lack
of water. Rainfall like that prevail
ing for the last six months would
make it garden. One can under
stand why special commissions are
heading dor South America to learn,
If possible what has become Of the
Humboldt current.

UHO SAID
"A Jealous man always
finds more than he looks
. for"

MI ADELAINE DE SCUDERI, the
AVA French romanticist, was the au-
thor of these words which sound al
most ominous in their propheticalness
Madelaine de Scuderi (1607-1701)
was a writer of romances that were
interminably long and boring. Her
best known works are "Artameme on
lie grand Cyrus, "Ibrahim GU rIllustre
Bassa," "Clelie," and "Almahide." All
achieved great popularity in their day.
The writings of this woman, who
was considered one of the leading lit
erary figures of her day, owed their
popularity to the fact that they were
remarkably true descriptions of the
time and of the people living when
she did.
For this reason the books of Mile.
Scuderi had a remarkable circulation
among those living at the time they
were written, but to this same reason
can be attributed their failure to be
popular at the present time. They do
not portray so much types of human
nature as they describe individuals
who lived at that time, and thus have
little application to the present day.
In her day Mile. Scuderi was a con-
spicuous figure in the literary circle
that congregated at the Hotel Ram
bOuillet in Paris. These gatherings
were later broken up when the trouble
with the Fronde occurred and Mile.
Scuderi and her literary circle moved
to her own house. The Fronde was
a party in French politics which caused
considerable disturbance during the mi
nority of the reign of Louis ". They
opposed the dominance of the courtiers
and the wealthy.

THE WHY ST az KING

over the genii so that those who pos
sessed the rings had all their wishes
fulfilled for them
Solomon is said to have had such a
ring and such ring was given to
Aladdin. That's where the wish part
comes in.
Now the most powerful ring of
which the people OF the olden days
had any actual experience was the
monarch's signet ring which he placed
upon the finger of the man whom he
sent forth to do his (the monarch's)
will. So when we wish on" ring we
initiate the monarch; with a subcon-
scious barking back to the powers of
the rings of Solomon and Aladdin.
