Bermuda Mourns
 Old Sailors Death

ST. GEORGES, Bermuda, June 2S-Curios and furnishings gath- cred from every port in the world filled the coral stone cottage of Robert Francis Fox. who spent more than 90 of his S6 years of life before the mast.
 He built it 20 years age on St. Dayid's Island where he was born and where from distant lands he would send rare old pieces of fur niture, pottery, glassware and odd things that he picked up on mer. chant voyages or whaling trips.
 Fox died here recently, one of the most celebrated characters oi these islands. He took to the sea as lad of thirteen on one of the whalers then operating from Der muda and "the wheels kick and the winds song and the white sails shaking" were his life fol half century. When he settled down in his coral home, he be came a teller of sea yarns. espe eially exciting stories of Soutl American waters, and his cottage was a mecca of visitors to St David's.

 A Tampico merchant was fine 200 pesos ($100) for advertising his wares in terms of pounds in stead of kilos.
 The metric system is supposed to prevail all over Mexico. In the country the Indians often have vague measurements of their own and in the cities Americans and British sometimes lapse into pounds and miles and quarts.
 Such lapses, in describing o, advertising in Tampico, will be followed by fines, the Department of Weights and Measures has an nounced.

Gorilla Fussy About
His SLeapinp Place

The main apparent preoccupation of
the male gorilla is fighting for the con
tinued possession of his wives. AS the
family party moves along through the
forest, rarely sleeping twice In the
same spot, there is every night the
business of making beds. For the gor'
lila has at least this In common with
his human cousins, that he likes and
demands comfortable sleeping place
and, what is more, he prefers to
make his sleeping arrangements well
before darkness falls.
For this purpose paterfamilias bends
down saplings and covers them with
leafy branches, while the members OF
his harem, who are sent up neighbor-
ing trees, make each her own bed In
q suitable fork by breaking off
branches within her reach. Their
beds are never very high up-never
too high for the old man to be able
to keep his eye upon them. You may
find chimpanzees nesting In the tree
tops, but never gorillas.
OuCe hdu d CHdnSc VI JAH6 HAAAS
proceeding. / made my camp close to
two parties Of gorillas. My own bed
was made In five minutes, but the gor-
illas took twenty minutes to finish
theirs to their liking, and probably
were more comfortable than I. They
are certainly very fastidlous In this
matter. Even when they remain In
the same spot for a few days they
make fresh beds every night, some
times even in the same trees as the
night before, but in other forks.-Dr.

Edition of the London Daily Mail.

Skunk Harmless If
He Is Treated Right

Periodical reports are regularly and
frequently printed In the papers at
this time of year Of skunks appear
ing and stampedlng citizens, police
men and other officials as If they were
the German army and yellow fever
combined instead of being as friendly
and harmless as an ordinary cat.
One was found in a schoolhouse and
instead of being allowed to depart in
peace a posse was raised and the
"crltter" shot and school dismissed
for the day. The interesting feature
is that the skunk always has to be
killed and trouble started; In the coun-
try the incident attracts little atten-
ton and the skunk is not molested,
but city people seem to take an ag-
gresslve course.
A skunk is usually able to depart
the way he entered and II not imposed
upon will seldom start anything. If
met on the sidewalk, porch or in the
wOodshed as a social equal, he will
be as friendly as you are.-Canaan

Writer'S Fine Tribute
IN Forest Patriarch

/ watched some time ago the cut
ing down of an oak. 1t was huge
tree, an old patriarch among the trees
in the neighborhood. the kind sand
size of tree that is regarded with a
sort of attachment by friends and
strangers. In the lives Of those along
the road It as a landmark.
It wore its rusty robes with an air
of majesty. 1t possessed a distin-
guished appearance on account OF age,
and to look at 1t was to be aware Of
something ancient. The Indian stepped
with moccasin feet the paths when
1t was in infancy, and its last years
saw the automobile, airplane, the
magic things of modern world.
1t went through much in the lease
of life; 1t weathered everything, as
an oak should do; but 1t had to sur
render before the assault of very
small but numerous enemy-the leop-
ard moth. 1t fought as a giant fights
-bravely. II lost courageously and
gamely, as a man loses when over
whelmed with superior numbers. 1t
battled to the end.
II seems a ruthless act to cut down
tree. 1t is the taking Of life itself.
Such a tree enters the very lives of
those who dwell In its shadows, and
1t Is part of their histories. And
the more we know Of such trees the
more are we convinced they have a
soul, personality.-Edwin @ Hob
son, in the Boston Globe.

Differ as to Meaning
of Name "Guatemdlo"

The country of Guatemala, which
has a population of about 3,OOO.OO0.
is one of the Central American re-
publics with an area Of 1920 square
miles. Except In the marshy forests
near the northeast coast, the country
is mountainous. Some of the noun
tains attain an elevation of II 300
feet.
The most important cultivated prod
ucts are co..;'ae, sugar, tobacco, cacao,
bananas and indigo. Much rubber also
is obtained.
The name of the country is be-
lieved of Aztec origin and is said by
some authorities to mean Land OF
the Eagle" or Land Of the Forest.
Other experts say 1t should be inter
preted as meaning mountain vomlt'
ing water"
Guatemala City, the capital of the
republic, with an estimated pOpula-
tlon of about 100000 is situated in q
rich and spacious plain.
The country was conquered by the

"Lost Chord" Dear to
Heart of COMPOSER

Arthur Sullivan sketched out the
complete setting of "The Lost Chord
while he sat by the deathbed Of his
brother, Frederic. 1t was his last COM
position for many months. The song,
when published, swept the world, and
the inevitable penalty Of popularity
followed-it was parodied, to Sulli-
vans disgust. He wrote to the par
odist:
II wrote The Lost Chord in sor-
row at my brother Fred's death.
Don't burlesque it."
Sullivan gave one of his manuscript
copies of "The Lost Chord"-those
scrubbed notes that had come from
the depth of his suffering-to his life
long friend, Mrs. Ronalds, a famous
American hostess living in London.
She was a very gifted amateur singer
and Sullivan openly said that she
alone brought tears to his eyes with
his own notes. Mrs. Ronalds' rem
dition of "The Lost Chord" was ia
nous. King Edward-then prince Of
Wales-once remarked that he would
travel the length Of his future king
dom to hear Mrs. Ronalds sing 1.-THE
Lost Chord"
When she passed on the manuscript
was, by her instructions, buried with
her.-Kansas City Star.

Nativity of Corn

Corn, generally believed to have
originated In South America, has been
found growing in China; but the Chi
nese corn is Of unique species and
1t is not a native Of the Chinese re.
,glon in which it was discovered. Re-
searches show that 1t must have been
brought to China long before the voy-
age of Columbus, for 1t could not have
acquired its distinctive character in
the comparatively short time that has
elapsed since that period.
Chinese corn is a dwarf plant and
Its starch is quite different from that
of American corn. The leaves grow
on either side of the stalk so as to
protect 1t from the hot, dry winds Of
the desert. They form a sort of horn
for the accumulation of pollen.
Chinese corn is excellent for plant
ing in hot countries wherc common
corn does not flourish.

Italians Origin ShotOn
BY Method of Eating

The way of eating Parmesan cheese
tells the place of origin of an Italian,
according to generally accepted the
DRY. Not only that, but It indicates
also his brOadmindedness or stinglness
in money matters, 1t Is claimed.
If person pares the covering of
his cheese without regard to losing a
little of the cheese itself, as waste
full cook might peel potatoes in New
England, that person comes from
Rome, one who cares little for money.
However, IL the person scrapes the
cheese carefully. so as not to waste
any Of the inside portion, he is Flor
entine, careful but not prodigal.
But If the person takes up his cheese
in his fingers and merely blows what
ever will blow from the outside of the
cheese, then he comes from Genoa,
never wasting a centislmi, according
to the proverb.

Steamship ScreUs

A phenomenon known as "cavita
ton" is recognized as one Of the most
important causes of loss OF efficiency
in the driving screws of steamships.
When the velocity of the screw is In.
creased above certain limit cavity
is formed In the water inside which
the screw revolves and a further in.
crease in power then causes no in.
crease in the ships speed. Mathe-
NAUTICAL investigation, tested by practi-
cal experiments, has shown that cavi-
tation can he avoided by preserving a
certain ratio between the resistance
and the propelling surface concerned
Upon this principle the speed of some
ships has been greatly increased by
simply changing their driving screws
