Qualities That Glue
Fern a Staple Value

Hawaii has an especially inter est
ing species of fern which Is so thick
ly covered with fine wool that II Is
gathered for stuffing pillows and even
mattresses.
The columnar trunks Of the tree
fern of the tropics are frequently used
for telephone poles and are so highly
priced for upright supports In the
construction of native huts that they
are never left behind but carried on
when. the family moves as valuable
piece of household furniture. The fern
stem is well-known source of supply
for the manufacture Of rope and, since
IT is lmpervious to the action OF wa
fer, II Is in most cases superior to
hemp. The great strength OF the fern
stalk is thought to come partly from
the hard outer shell and partly from
the intricate network of dark strands
within.
The Boston fern finds ready COM
mercial value In annually supplying
millions of American homes with liv-
ing ferns, while the dagger fern ana

Accidents of Nature

Great voices are rare and undoubt-
edly owe their wonderful purity of
tone to an accidental combination of
those physical characteristics which
lead to the production of song. The
human musical instrument, though
built of living tissues. resembles in
structure the reed organ pipe fitted
with vox humana stop In both
cases the note depends on the vihra-
tions of column of air produced in
the organ by reed and in the voice
by the vocal cords The human air
chamber corresponding to the organ
pipe is composed of the larynx and the
bronchial system beneath It, The
throat, mouth and nasal cavities form
the resonators which, by alienation
in shape and size, are able to pick
out and emphasize component parts of
the fundamental tones produced in
the larynx The lungs form the bel
lows which produce the upward blast
Of air, and upon their quality depends

Changes in Thought
Aids to Progression

Most men are like a book. They
constantly give expression to the same
thoughts. They add no new chapters
to their lives. Read them backward
or forward. they say the same thing.
They wonder why it is that their
progress is so slow. 1t rarely occurs
to them that they have allowed them
selves to become as books They have
been diligent in their efforts to ad-
vance, but it has been along the same
old beaten paths, the lines of least
resistance.
A wise man abhors the idea Of be-
coming book. He has no vainglori-
Gus desire to go on record. He has
no wish to be bound by precedent
His resolve is to maintain an un-
biased mind in order that he may de-
eide upon each new issue according
to the complexities of the occasion.
Many believe Ii to be a mark of
weakness to forsake long established
opinion. They hold some opinions so
long that they eventually come to
look upon them as facts. But fact
today often becomes obsolete tomor-
row. Absolute truth alone is I'M
changeable, but no man Is ever likely
to attain this goal. II. Barringer,
in Forbes Magazine

Living Organism That
Possesses No ShadoU

At night a host of small creatures
found safety in being divested of all
pigment. In the course of evolution
they had scraped off all the mercury
from the back Of their beings, becom-
ing so transparent that the food
which they swallowed was the most
conspicuous and Opaque part of their
anatomy.

decided Alice In Wonderland feeling
when I looked into dish of night
plankton scooped from the surface.
BY keenest scrutiny I could perceive
only the usual hosts of small fry,
when, reaching down and lifting out
what seemed only an area of clear
water, there would materialize before
my eyes phyllosoma. This was d
creature who cast no more shadow
than the thinnest skim Of clear Ice.
Yet II was a living animal, more than
three inches long. with all the general
organs which we ourselves possess

Worlds Pipe Smokers

In the Far East pipe decoration con
stitutes an honored branch of art and
the most eminent of designers, of cary
ers, of etchers, of lacquerers, enamel
ers and metal workers may contribute
their quota to the establishment not
alone OF pipes, but also Of the tinder
boxes, tobacco boxes and pipe cases
that are associated with them. The
prediction of these races for delicate
shape and size has had its influence on
the pipe-forms of other nations with
whom they have been brought into
contact, as, for example, on those of
the Eskimos and Red Indians. In
northern Siberia, where the fungus
race have made home, the native
pipe shows marked Chinese character

Add One Thing More

pride who asked her husband to copy
off radio recipe she wanted, says
the Boston Transcript. He did his
best but got two stations at once, one
of which was broadcasting the morn
ing exercises and the other the recipe.
This is what he took down:
Hands on hips, place one cup of
-four on the shoulders, raise knees
and depress toes and mix thoroughly
in One-half cupful of milk Repent six
times. Inhale quickly one-half tea
spoonful of baking powder. lower the
legs and mash two hard boiled eggs in
a sieve. Exhae, breathe naturally
and sift into bowl.
Attention Lie fiat on the floor
and roll the white of an egg backward
and forward until it comes to boil.
In ten minutes remove from the fire
and rub smartly with a rough towel

"Dog Doys''

What are the Dog days7"
Beginning on July 8 is the period
supposed to be the hottest of the year,
and which In ancient astronomy WAS
associated with the rising of the Dog
star.
Astronomy and religion being then
closely connected, II was thought that
the pestilences and drought Of vege-
tation often occurring at the period
in the heats of italy could be warded
Off by propitiatory offerings to the god
of the Star. and red dogs were, there
fore, sometimes sacrificed.
From this old belief has survived
our modern Dog days, though the term
is often confused with the hot period
during which dogs used to be sup
posed to be especially subject to mad

FERNS Long History

plants and its fossil remains are
known in abundance from the Paleo-
zoic era of geologic time lO0,0000O0
years ago. Ferns were especially nu.
merous during the Carboniferous pc
riod when hundreds of feet of their
solidified remains were deposited to
form the present-day coal beds,
around which the industrial progress
of modern civilization largely centers,

Are Of Fixureheads

The age Of sail was pregnant with
strange belief and sentiment. To the
lima ginative and superstitious sailor
the figurehead not only expressed the
individuality Of the craft, but 1t made
her living thing. To many, 1t was
the guardian spirit In whose sacred
care the lnexplicable future lay. More
than one old salt has refused to go
TO sea behind a naked bow. and when

urehead, shaggy eyebrows contracted
and doleful predictions Numbered
forth as to the fate that awaited the
