RIDE TsRu SNOW TUNNEL

+. ]. Bonn and Mr.. and Mss. w.

first of the week, driving over SUM-
day in Mr.. Bonn's car and returning
Tuesday They were among the first
to go through Snoqual1nie Pass, the
read crews having just cleared the
trail through the snow few days
before. The snow at the summit
they said, was over 20 feet deep and
the trail through it for 10 miles was
barely wide enough for one car, which
necessitated the travel being alter
mated from each direction. 1t re-
CURED about an hour to negotiate the
10 miles through the snow tunnel, the
rcadbed being soft and slushy and the
cars having to travel in intermediate
or low gear. Caravans of from 20 to
40 cars would be taken from one
direction and the travel. from that
direction held up until another cara
van was brought through from the
opposite direction. Outside of the
Pass, Mr.. Bonn said, he never saw
the roads in better condition, and that
Ithe trip from White Bluffs to Seattle
can be made in about seven hours.

Vantage ferries and came back by
way of Yakima. Mrs. L. A. Cod

Layers of Warn, and
Cold Water in Lakes

It has been found that some Of
the salt lakes In Hungary present
the popularity of layer Of warm,
or even hot, salt water between
two bodies Of colder water. Thus,
in the Medoc lake, the surface tenn
perature In summer is about 20 de-
grees, but at a depth Of a little
more than four feet the tempera-
ture becomes 1873 degrees, declin-
ing again to &c degrees at the
bottom.
The surface water is fresh, but
the warm water beneath is intense
ly saline, and the explanation of
the difference in temperature is
that, since the specific heat of salt
water Is less than that of fresh wa
ter, the salt water is more easily
heated by the sun, and, having
risen to higher temperature than
that Of the everything fresh water,
retains its heat, because the fresh
water prevents its escape by ra-
diation. 1t is suggested that some
use might be found of these natural
reservoirs, or accumulators, of
solar heat.

No Great Competition
for These Odd Jobs

Although at the present time al.
most every profession is over
crowded, there are still few that
have only one follower.
For instance, out of the seven
and half million people in Lon
don there Is only one moss gath
erer. Twice a week this man
pushes a barrow to a spot several
miles out Of the city, where he
gathers his moss, and later sells it
for decorative purposes.
At the last census taken In Eng
land man stated that he was a
walrus mustache collector. The
hairs are used for the purpose of
making toothpicks, and as far as
Is known he Is the only person
who follows that profession.
There is only one lady veterin-
airy surgeon in England. A British
firm employs a man whose job is
simply to strike matches in order
to test them.
Still another of these unusual
jobs is that Of toad breeder. There
Is one man who does this, and he
sells his toads to gardeners for the
purpose Of destroying insect pests.

Kaisers Experts Let
Big Opportunity Pass

Colonel Deport, inventor Of the
40" the rapid-f1ring gun that
saved France, died few years
after the war. Before he passed
away the colonel wrote the story
of the gun and revealed how France
came within an ace of losing the
plans and models long before the
war. When the first models had
been constructed, they were care
fully sealed in a freight car and
shipped to an isolated section of
the country for tryout. The car
was by mistake hooked up to q
goods train, destined for Germany
and actually landed on German
soil. The Germans opened the car
and Immediately officers Of the ar
tillery school came down to exam
Inc the guns infinitely. But they
let them go again, reporting that
no officer would be able to manage
a battery Of guns that could each
fire a hundred shots per minute.
And so the guns came back, though
the Germans managed to make an
imperfect copy. The real secret OF
the hydropneumatique was never
mastered In Germany, even in 1914,
when the kaiser's armies captured
plenty Of models. Pierre Van

Scant Hope Is Held
for Minnesota Corn
Paul Kirk Agricultural Statistician
Cites Frosts In Crop Report,
Rain Slows Threshing

st. Paul, Sept. Coming at a
time when crops are in a mad race
down the home stretch to reach ma
turity, light frosts have slightly
damage several crops in scattered
sections, says the weekly crop re-
port of Pauk Kirk, Minnesota ag-
ricultural statistician.
The report is decidedly pessimis-
tic about the outlook for the corn
crop, saying that stfrom no part of
the state are reports of corn at
all satisfactory. -
'The general trend of reports"
he continues, Indicates that part
of the crop might be out of frost
danger within from three to five
weeks.
There has been frost damage
to corn in low places, and recent
ly frost in the northern part of
the state further damaged corn,
potatoes and perhaps some late
flax.
unless weather conditions are
most favorable Minnesota's 1927
corn crop is going to be mighty
short, from standpoint of matur-
ed grain.
ssWet : weather has hindered
threshing in the northwestern por-
tons of the state. It is estimated
that from 40 to 70 per cent of
threshing has been completed.
"Where there has been rainfall,
pastures are still very good. In
central southern Minnesota past
ures are drying up.
"Fall blowing has started in
nice shape in most sections of the
state.
Livestock is generally reported
in good condition"
In 10 counties where frost has
hit the corn, the damage is esti-
mated at 20 per cent over the area.
Conditions indicate that the
small grain will be less than aver
age over the state, and the crop
from fair to poor in many locali-
ties. Only in a few counties will
the crop run average, but even in
these places the quality will run
from fair to poor.
In many places the quality
seems to be better but PROPOSE
tons are marred by the report of
poor quantity.
The potato crop is reported fair,
although many localities report a
spotted crop. Alfalfa is doing IA
vorably, but rain is needed. Warm
weather is needed for the matur-
ing of corn throughout the state
There has been frost damage in
low places and in the northern
part of the state Mr.. Kirk stated
Wet weather has hinderei
threshing in the northern and
western parts of the state. II
has been estimated that from AZ to

Proud Metropolis Got
Title From Royalty

The infant settlement Of New
Amsterdam was still in its swad-
ding clothes when across the sea,
in the palace of the English king,
Baby Stuart posed to Anthony Van
Dyke for the prim little portrait
that has become so widely known
and beloved. The stuart Baby"
second son of Charles I Of England
and Henrietta Maria, had no
thought then that the struggling
village, one day to be the pride Of
the western world-would years
later be named in his honor, New
York. ...-...
This child, who in his turn sue
ceeded to the English throne as
James II, was at nine years old,
created duke of York and Albany.
Upon reaching manhood he precipi-
tated himself into various wars,
all Of which he came through with
a reputation for brilliant personal
courage.
In 1854 Charles granted New
Netherlands to the duke of York.
and an English force under Col.
Richard Nicolls took possession of
the city, naming it New York in
his honor. Subsequently the Dutch
recaptured the province, but the
English quickly took it away from
them again, restoring the name Of
the Stuart prince.-Mentor Maya

Fe.D TruMes in America

Truffies are subterraneous fungi,
and in Europe, especially In
France, are collected quite extern
sively for food. While few va
rieties of truffles or related forms
are found growing wild in this
country, their cultivation is not a
commercial proposition. It is rec
ognized that truff1es grow espe-
cially in association with certain
oaks, and some years ago the De
partment Of Agriculture imported
and distributed two or three spe-
cies of these oaks, but the industry
has never really been developed in
this country. Abroad, in regions
where truff1es are abundant, they
are collected by aid of a dog or
pig, or small animal having keen
sense of smell. Truff1e hunting is
an important business and re-
quires considerable experience and
knowledge of forests.

Cincinnatus was one Of the IA.
vorite early heroes of the Roman
republic. In the year 40 B. G.
he was elected consul, the chief ex-
ecutive officer of Rome. Two years
later, in time Of great national
danger, he was chosen dictator or
supreme commander to lead the
army against the nation of Gauls,
or modern France, that was threat
enfng Italy. The messenger sent
to tell him of his elevation to the
dictatorship found him blowing his
little farm. He put on his toga, the
robe of Roman citizen, to listen
to the reading of his commission,
and then he went to Rome and
took command. He decisively de-
feated the enemy, and 16 days later
he went home again to work on his
farm.
