Elder Ducks Brought
Close to Extinction

For long time Iceland prospered
In her trade in the down Of the elder
ducks, which was priced all over the
world for making pillows and quilts.
AS always in such cases, however the
pot-hunters OverwOrked the industry
and the result Is that now there Is no
great amount of money in it. Very
severe laws protect these birds, and
the taking Of the down from the nests
Is carefully regulated.
Sea birds Of various kinds make
their nests in the cliffs and the hunt
ing Of these birds is regular but per-
ilous activity. They are caught with
nets on the end Of long poles, and also
by trays made with horeshair snares
and having live bird as decoy tied
to, them. In some cases men are let
down with ropes from cliffs hundreds
Of feet so as to gather eggs in other
wise inaccessible places.
These wild birds, such as puffins,
auks, guillemots and terms, collect in
such vast multitudes at some of these
rookeries that they will sit perched
so close together, as to form a solid
mass. This helps them to keep warm.
The noise made by their strident cries
Is overpowering, and when they are
scared up and all take wing the rush
Of air is like tempest.-Pathfinder
Magazine.

Find Red Riding Hood
Character in Legend

Little Red Riding Hood was a real
girl, but her history has been altered
In Its Journey down to modern nuf-
series. Abraham of Chiuna, a knight
Of the Seventh century, who claimed
"A girl named Mary as his niece, walled
himself up in solitary cell as a monk
after changing his mind at the altar
about matrimony. Mary used to don
her red hood each day and carry
boiled milk and butter to her uncle,
passing it to him through the one win.
dow Of his cell. The former knight
also was visited by q monk whose
name was Wolf and whose character,
according to ancient historians, quite
justified the appellation. He used to
fall in with Mary and would make
pleasant inquiries concerning the con-
diments beneath the napkin in her
basket. Arriving nowhere with his
suit he carried the damsel of to a
neighboring city where he finally de-
serted her. The uncle's wrath was 30
aroused that he left his seclusion to
search for her in the guise of a cava-
lier, and finding her after a great ex-
penditure Of time, energy and money,
brought her back and walled her up
In cell beside him. There she spent
10 years and tradition has 1t that
many miracles were wrought by the
two for pilgrims who visited them

NO PERSONAL FEAR
IN MANClN,S NATURE
French General Ready to
Accept Any Risk.

With a view to raising the army
morale the late Gen. Charles Mangin
was constantly pushing his headquar-
tiers forward on a line with the d.
visional commands. The Germans had
hardly left scissors before he moved
to a chateau in the suburbs within
range Of the enemy's guns. They could
have blown the place to pieces in 20
| minutes.
The chief Of staff and the heads of
the bureaus protested that 1t was no
place for clerks and typists, much less
officers at desks. But they wasted
their breath. Mangin said that 1t was
best to be there and that nothing I'M
pleasant would happen. One morning
nlne-inch shell dropped near the
gate, but no one was hurt.
Again as the Germans left Laon he
moved Into house at the foot Of the
bill under the town. The countryside
was planted with mines whose fuses
were arranged for delayed explosions.
For nearly two weeks these blew up at
odd times under cross roads and In
buildings.
Mangin installed himself without
waiting for engineers to examine the
premises, and again the staff was In a
state Of mind. The first evening dur
Ing dinner mine went off close by,
rocked the house, and sprayed the
room with broken window glass. Mail
gin was talking at the time. He
paused, mOtioned to Bahia, his tall
Senegalese orderly, to sweep up the
pieces, and went on.
Afterward Rochbuet, his aide, said
laughingly: IF 1t had been us instead
OF the windows 1t would have been
just the same. He would have had
Bahia sweep us into his pail"
All this was standard of military
conduct. Brutality, however, was for
eign to his nature His treatment of
prisoners was invariably humane and
considerable. He shrank from order.
ing punishments and executions.
In the autumn an escaping prisoner
was caught in the front lines in a
French uniform. The lieutenant who
caughtA him sent him back to army
headquarters. Mangin sent for the
lieutenant.
'Why didn't you shoot him when
you caught him." he demanded. II
don't want him." He told the story at
dinner and added hopelessly: And
now what am going to do with him?
OF course I ought to shoot him, but
the poor devil had no intention Of be-
Ing a spy. He only wanted to escape
AS matter of fact he did not shoot
him but sent him to the rear, and I
suspect the man went back to Ger
many.-David Gray in Century Maya

Earthquaks Wave

Ssismologlsts say that every great
earthquake causes pulsations which ex-
tend for thousands of miles In all d.
rections on the globe, and one emil
nent authority has likened such pull
sations to the long, long swells that
sweep across the ocean. Not long
ago an attempt was made to measure
the height and length Of waves Of an
earthquake that occurred In Greece,
the pulsations Of which were perceived
by the aid Of a specially constructed
pendulum at Birmingham, England.
The pulsations, or waves, passed
through the rocky crust Of the earth
with velocity Of about two miles a
second, and each Of the largest Of
them, according to the inventor, must
have been about % miles in length,
but only half an inch In height

Driven to Profanity

General Thomas was a Methodist
to his hearts core. and as such he
was offended by all ungodliness. He
did not hold with those who used pro.
family, and It was difficult for him 70
endure 1t In patience.
Yet once, when he led his cold and
ragged troops through a desolate
country, the men in ranks took up
a rather plaintive song, whose refrain
was when this cruel war is over"
The whining, mawkish syllables
reused the generals ire. He turned in
his saddle, shouting: "Stop that d-n
song! How in HI do you expect to
win a war when that is your opinion
Of It" The ranks were silent, ODE.
diently SO, and their leader resumed
his MISUNDERSTANDING Oregonian.
