 During the past 20 years F. H. Gray of Wrangell has spent consid- erable time in making a collection of Alaskan birds. Although he has never followed taxidermy as voca- tion, Mr. Gray is taxidermist whose skill is duly appreciated by anyone who has ever seen his work. For some time there has been a feeling on the part of certain people in Alas ka that MT. Gray's wonderful collec- tion of 21S mounted birds should be in the Territorial Museum. At the recent session of the Alaska Legis- lature $1500 was appropriated for the purchase of MT. Gray's collection of birds, all of which are from South eastern Alaska. The birds were ship ped to Juneau short time ago.

Joel Chandler Harris
Never a Social "Lion'

The first published work Of Joel
Chandler Harris, creator of Uncle
Remus," was set into type by hand
as ideas came to his head, with
out first being committed to paper,
says J. T. Many of Plain Dealing,
who worked with Harris on the
Monroe Advertiser in Forsyth, Ga,
shortly after the close of the Civil
war. -....
Harris would not read his compo-
sitions after they were in print If
he could avoid 1t. He taught Many
to read proof, and thus avoided
having to read what he had writ
ten" with type. Harris was ex-
tremely shy and declined to meet
many persons. Once Harris, Mark
Twain and George w. Cable met
in New Orleans. Twain recounts
the instance in his Life on the
Mississippi" When the New Or
leans children saw "Uncle Remus"
they were greatly disappointed and
exclaimed:
"Why, he's white" ,
To console them,, a move was
made to have Harris read the Tar
Baby story aloud. But he never
had read aloud to people and was
too shy to make the venture.

Ponderous German Verbs

The ponderous use Of the di-
vided German verb is as character
istic Of their mental processes as
is one of their great machines. In
fact, it reminds one Of Big Bertha
shooting at Paris. It also seems
to be the thing which is most en-
bedded in their way Of thinking.
I knew a German who had lived
40 years in America and had prac-
tically forgotten all of his German.
But to the end of his days he would
get off such an expression as this:
GAS long as I live in this town the
more 1 find, by Jimmy Christmas,

with all the force Of projectile
which had been carefully aimed
and had carried long distance

Odd Piliar Formation
the Work of Nature

Columns of pillars OF various
mineral matters, sometimes of great
size, have been found by geolo-
gists. They are said to have been
formed by unequal weathering.
Similar ice pillars are sometimes
seen on the surface Of glacier, due
70 the protection of the ice from
melting under the heat of the sun
Dy the shadow cast by the rock
mass,
There are rain-made columns con-
tanning many large stones near An
teiope park in a small tributary OF
the Rio Grande. The stones protect
the portion beneath them from the
rain. When the waters descended,
the walls being made first, they
formed the columns shown. Some
of the columns are 60 or so feet
high, and some 400 feet high.
In certain districts sandstones
have been split and left in frag-
ments, resembling huge single
stones that so closely cover the sur
face that In many places one can
leap from stone to stone without
descending to the ground. These
stones are frequently Of consider
able size, many of them being from
20 to 25 feet across and II feet in
thickness.
Stones of this character have
been employed for the formation Of
the so-called Druidical circles, and
are therefore called the Druid
stones. Sometimes stones of this
character, from their resemblance
at a distance to a flock of sheep,
are called gray wethers.

Not Much Haggling
Ouer Diamond Deals

A shabbily dressed man strolls
down quiet street not minute
from Hatton Garden, London. He
looks as if he might be worth $50
all told. He stops by public
house and acknowledges the casual
greeting Of man little better
dressed than himself.
For perhaps five minutes both
are absorbed in something the
shabbier of the two takes from a
leather wallet. Something changes
hands and the two part. 1t Is all
over in five minutes.
What sort of business have they
been transacting? Merely little
deal in diamonds. And how much
was involved? Around $1,000.
Stolen stones sometimes come
into the Hatton Garden market.
But woe betide the crook who seeks
to dispose of well-known stones
there! Dealers will have none of
him.
Unset diamonds, necklaces, brace
let's, brooches and rings all find
their way to this unique mart. All
deals are for cash and all are
quickly, silently, and quite casually
put through.

Music Charms Horses

Horses are particularly sensitive
to music, especially martial airs. In
1892 certain British regiment was
making a military test march.
When the music started young
horse, ridden by captain, has
tened forward and placed itself, in
spite of its rider, behind the last
rank of the musicians. Then it fol-
lowed peacefully, giving obvious
signs of pleasure. When the music
ceased the captain was able to re-
sumo his place at the head Of his
company. But when the band struck
up again the horse galloped ahead,
and once more placed itself behind
the musicians.

Drastic Banking
Law Changes Urge
Continued from Page One)

CONTINUED from rage One)
Despite the large number of
banks closing in resent years, the
committee reports brighter condl-
tions for the immediate future.
'sIt should be Observed" the
report states, 'that from the ev-
idence heard the committee IS
greatly impressed with the fact
that generally over the st9te bank
ing conditions are rapidly i'm
proving as compared with the last
few years, and if general condl-
tions continue to improve, the
committee believes that the coptil-
dence of depositors and others IN
our banks will be speedily re-
stored in such parts of the state
where such confidence has been
badly shaken. 1t is also a notice
able fact that but one small bank
has failed in Minnesota during the
last five weeks.
In obtaining information to lay
a foundation for it's report, the
committee began holding' public
hearings February l, and ques-
toned bankers, business men,
farmers and state banking officials,
besides sending a subcommittee
to Nebraska to study the guaranty
law there. On the day the lnves-
tigation started there were 926
state and 2S4 national banks If
operation. and 1915 state and AZ
national banks were being liqu
dated. Altogether 236 state
banks have been closed in the last
eight years.
Depositors are warned against
rumors concerning banks. 1t is
their duty according to the COM
mittee to head off rumors, to go
direct to the officers of the bank
for information relative to condi-
lions of the bank and ascertain di-
rectly from such officers. the true
condition.
Promiscuous granting of bank
charters a few years ago has also
brought about depressing condi-
ton through competition and re
commentators urge fewer new
charters to be granted.
