Stone Mason Who Won
Place IN Literature

Hugh Miller, master Of picturesque
English prose, began life as a stone
mason In the Quarries Of Cromarty,
says DR.. Frank b. Vizetelly, encyclo-
pedist. He spent fifteen years with
hammer and chisel, and his chief liter
airy work, Scenes and Legends in
Northern Scotland" was not done un-
til he obtained the position Of an ac-
countant In Cromarty bank. He was
a Jealous supporter of the nonintru-
sion principle that shook the Church
OF Scotland at the time, and as such
wrote pamphlets that created much
stir, so that in 1910 he was called to
the editorial chair of the Edinburgh
Witness. We owe to him several in
teresting books, Of which perhaps
1.-THE Testimony of the Rocks" print
ed In 1857, is the most remarkable.
His life had been simple, his means
small, but the unceasing trials and
distractions of journalism, together
with the strain of his other literary
work, unhinged his mind, and when
but f1fty-six years old, in an impulse
OF madness, he shot himself on Christ
mas eve, 1855.

Learned From, American,

An American sailor and his COM
panion are credited with teaching the
first native pearl divers in the South
Pacific how to bob under the surface
to obtain shell. and in 1858 the first
experiment In diving from boat was
successful. The natives soon became
expert and frequently went to un-
usual depths.
Japanese divers, working the shell
beds off islands in the Pacific ocean,
wear nothing more than a loin cloth,
the costume adopted by divers in 1877,
says the Sydney (Australia) Bulletin.
Some rich harvests of shell have
been made and records show that one
pearler, employing 40 native divers,
averaged rs tons of shell year, de-
spite the short season, which extends
only from September to April.

Notables of Athens
Gathered in Asoro

The Agora in Athens, probably the
richest prize of archaeology today, was
the most famous market forum in the
world. A tourist, in the days of
HerOdotus, went to the Acropolis.
But an Athenian went to the market
place, the Agora, where he could buy
flour, and olives, Hymettian honey in
lieu Of sugar, and currants from Cor
NTH. Or he tarried and listened to
homely snub-nOsed Socrates standing
In an arcade confusing an Athenian
by few cleverly. selected questions.
In the Agora Scion posted his laws
which earned the perpetuation Of his
name in the word 'solon" for lawmak-
er. There Demosthenes delivered the
famous orations against Philip Of
Macedonia. There Socrates stood
stock still for II hours or more, while
he thought out a new principle of phi.
losOphy. Also, 1t was through the
Agora that the sharp-tongued cynic,
Dtogenes, wandered with a lantern,
fruitlessly searching for an honest
man.

Species Of Pine Trees
Bears En0r,r,ous Cone,

Most Ar trees bear cones of mod
crate size. but such IL not the case
with Coulter's pine. Of California, says
st. Nicholas. This species produces
cones which are often IL inches or
more In length and 9 inches in diam
eter at the widest part. The cones,
which are very solid and hard, will
not uncommonly weigh from two to
three pounds. Each Of the scales ter
inmates in a curious curved point.
Strangely enough, in spite of the
size Of its cones Coulter's pine is not
by any means the largest of the fir
trees. Normally 1t grows from SO to
60 feet in height, although very old
examples may be 10 feet higher. The
foliage OF the tree is of beautiful
blush shade. and the branches are
produced In very symmetrical man
ner. Luckily, 1t is said that the cones
rarely fall from the boughs, and old
trees are often thickly covered with
them.

Eyesight of Birds

British scientists, conducting expert
ments on bird eyesight, announce the
following discoveries:
A thrush sees a worm writing In
grass 100 yards off.
A sparrow so yards away sees a
dropped crumb or pea and immediate
ly darts to it.
The swallow, skimming along 40
miles an hour, marks down gnats 100
yards ahead.
A hawk, poised 300 feet above a
tangled brake, detects mouse through
heavy growth.
Eagles and vultures possess super
telescope sight and their vision is
even keener.

ClosDsvorn,s in Cavern

A "glowworm" cavern was discov-
cred in the bush country near Te
Kuiti, Australia. The walls are lit
orally covered with thousands Of small
glowing worms which give the rocks
the appearance Of being studded with
brilliant jewels. And strangely enough,
the lights Of the glowwormspale when
the least bit Of noise is made in the
cavern. as for instance when person
speaks. In the daylight the worms
look like common grubs.-Pathfnde

Won Fame After Death

Perhaps Henry d. Thoreau of Con-
cord, Mass, who died in 1862, is the
only American author Of renown
whose works were not published until
after his death. He published but
two books while alive, both at his own
expense. One Of them had a moder.
ate circulation, the other almost none.
All his life he kept journal, and all
Of this has subsequently been pub
lished, SO that his works now total
about 30 volumes, all Of which are In
print and In demand.

Rare Fruit

The mangosteen can only be grown
where the temperature never drops
below IS degrees above zero. It is the
size Of a mandarin orange, deep pur-
pie externally, with thick, woody
rind. Within are several segments of
snow-white pulp of extremely delicate
flavor. Because Of its great delicacy
and the difficulty of transporting 1t
long distances, Queen Victoria, it is
said, once offered handsome reward
to the first man who succeeded in
placing dish of mangosteens on her
table at Buckingham palace, but the
reward was never won.

Fish Con Liue on Land

The mud springing fishes of the
tropical waters Of Africa, Asia and
Australia prefer to seek their food
out Of the water. They live like frogs
on marshy or muddy ground among
the mangrove swamps or along the
shore between tide marks. Sometimes
with the aid Of their tail and ventral
fms and clever bending of the body
they Chamber up stems and slide along
branches. When discovered or dis
turbed they drop back from the
branches, several feet above, into the
mud below and are said to remain out
Of the water for hours together.-Kan-

up butter fat in evapOrated milk into
tiny particles so they blend evenly
with the solids. HOmogenization
causes the butter fat globules to ad-
here to the albumin and the casein
OF the milk. In the process, milk is
forced through countless numbers Of
openings at a pressure Of around s.
500 pounds.
IN addition to preventing a cream
and skim milk line, this breaking up
Of fat contributes to smoothness and
perfect blending Of foods such as
cream sauces, soups, ice cream and
In baked products.
1t also has a digestive advantage
for those who have difficulty In as
similating milk. Many pediatricians
recommend evaporated milk as a baby
food, although, like other substitutes
for the natural supply, 1t should not
be considered as a food complete in
itself. Addition Of orange or tomato
juice, barley water OF lime water are
important In providing adequate diet
for the infant.
All authorities recognize that
normal mothers milk is the best food
