Not an Easy Matter
to Tell Deer's Age

1t is impossible, says the United
States biological survey, to tell the
age of the deer tribe by the number
of points on the antlers. There is
popular notion that every time a deer
sheds its hOrns-which is once year
the horn grows out with an extra
point. In a general way this is true.
But the growth of the antlers is de-
pendent on a number of circumstances,
notably the general physical condition
of the animal and its virility. AS a
rule the horns begin as single points
and increase in size and number of
points up to whatever may be the
maximum bur the increase in size in
several years may not be strictly pro-
gressive. AS the animal becomes old
there is tendency for the horns to
be smaller with fewer points. A point
is an individual tine or snag of the
antlers. A deer with one point on
each side is called a two-point deer;
one with two points on each side,
fOur-point deer, and so on. The rein
deer differs from all other deer in that
the females of this species also have
horns.

Appalachian Explorers

In 1716 SpotswOod organized, the
first exploration party to venture into
the Appalachian mountains. This
party consisted of Spotswood's per
sonal friends, Indian guides and serv-
ants. There were in all about fifty
people. We find mentioned the follow
ing gentlemen who accompanied Spots
wood: John Fontaine, Robert Beverly,
Colonel Robertson, Doctor Robinson,
Austin Smith, Captain Clouder and
four men named, respectively, Taylor,
Todd, Mason and Brooke. Each gen.
tleman wore a small golden horseshoe.
This emblem was to record the fact
that the horses on this expedition
were shOd with iron shoes, which were
quite unnecessary In the sandy soil
of the tide-water countries, but which
were deemed essential for the stony
passages of the mountains The
motto adopted was, "Sic juvat trans
cendere montes." Only those were
eligible In the future who could prove
that they had drunk the health Of
George the First, then king of Eng
land, on the top of Mount George.

First Subway Lines

The first city In the world to feel
the need of subways was London,
where, in 1853, there was begun the
construction of a two-track under
ground road from Edgeware to Kings
inventor. There were many disad-
vantages to the first type of subway,
and it was not until 1886 that any
further attempt was made to construct
a subway line. In that year the late

engineer, designed railroad, circular

Bright Children

The old idea used to be that the
exceptionally bright little boy, the
coming genius, was usually weak
physically, understood, and emotional
ly unstable. That idea has to be
discarded entirely, according to re-
port just put out by the noted psy-
chologist, L. NJ Terman, who has
made an elaborate study of 1000 espe-
ciaIly bright children. If there is any
variation from the normal at all, he
says, the gifted child is usually Of
better physical and nervous condition.
1.-The superiority of the gifted child
is evidenced at a very early age, in
the majority of cases." says Doctor
Terman. among the most common
ly mentioned indications are intellec-
tual curiosity, wealth of miscellaneous
information, and desire to learn to
read"

Old English Monarch
Man of Modern Ideas

Burglary insurance is no modern in
stitutiOn. 1t seems to have existed
from the time of King Alfred and was
probably introduced by this king who
had he lived in these times, would
have made a name as a successful
business man.
The town of Ripon, England, he
gave in S66 into the charge of a coun-
Gil, who appointed a watchman to
blow a horn every night at nine
o'clock. Between that hour and sun
rise the town was quiet and no one
was supposed to be abroad. But
RipOn was not altogether a law-abid-
ing place and presently the town au-
thorities found it necessary to pro
tect its peaceful citizens against raid
ers and robbers.
And 50 a law was passed that any
householder wishing SO to protect his
house from robbery should pay
pence year to the authorities. Then.
if his house was entered and his goods
stolen or damaged between the blow
ing Of the horn and sunrise, he could
claim from the town council, who IN
dertook to compensate him.-AIusic

Little Really knoWn
of Botanical World

Some neglected weed, in the hands
of skilled botanist, may overturn a
large part of our system of agricul-
ture, according to statements made at
the recent International Congress of
Plant Science. We are faced with
this possibility because of the fact
that despite the almost innumerable
books and papers relating to species
of plants we know, there is still far
greater part OF the plant kingdom
that man has never yet touched.
What may come out of this unex-
plOred mine In the future no one can
predict
Very few of the species that we do
know something about are cultivated.
There are about 100000 species OF
known and named higher plants. OF
these only 10 per cent are cultivated,
and most of these are cultivated in
only an incidental way. Fewer than
100 species supply US with food, fiber
and timber, the three great staples of
our daily life. There is evidently
plenty of room for surprises when
scientists begin cultivating some of
the 100000 more intensively, and, In
addition, perhaps discovering new spe.
cies with novel properties highly bene-
fetal to man.

Decorators Not to Be
Bound BY Convention

The Cretan decorators did not scru.
pie to depart from a literal interpre-
tation of nature If by so doing they
could achieve more satisfying deco
rative effects.
If monkey with blue head suited
their purpose better than a realistic
monkey they showed no hesitance il
altering it. This is the decorators
privilege, a sort of artistic license
that has been taken by artists from
those ancient times TO the present.
Do not think that curious drawings
and distortions are the product of anna
teuriSh hands. The Cretan decorators
did not alter the apparent forms be-
cause they could not draw them cor
rectly. 1t was done deliberately, to
suit their scheme of decoration. Some
times a naturalistic treatment of flow
ers and ferns was used.
When they liked they could give
realistic Interpretation and at other
times conventionalize their subjects.
When it suited their purpose they put
in colors that nature never uses in
such places. These Cretan decorators
were great craftsmen and artists.
Their designs are studied by artists
today.

Apple Picking

The Rural New Yorker says that
''the quantity of apples picked in day
by one man will depend largely on the
character Of the tree, whether high or
low headed; how heatIly the tree may
be loaded; the kind of apples, small or
large ). how well the job is DONE We
have heard Of men picking fifty bar
rels, but both fruit and trees are sure
to be damaged by such slam-bang
work. One of the best commercial
growers we know insists that an
average of ten or twelve barrels per
day per man is enough. 1t is not
matter Of clawing off the apples as
fast as possible. but working so that
there will be a minimum Of bruised
fruit and broken twigs and limbs"
