Ms cal Names GiUen
Land and Sea Winds

The various winds which sweep
land and sea, have, some of them at
least, very musical names. The wind
that blows so strongly at times along
the coast of France and ruffles the
blue waters of the Mediterranean is
called the Mlstral. Another violent.
cold wind Is the Bora, which those
who have been much on the northern
shores of the Adriatic have expert
enced, greatly to their discomfort.
Then there is the Simeon which is as
scorchingly hot as the Mistral and
Bora are cold. The Simeon, in fact,
Is like violent succession of gusts
from hot oven. It has proved ter.
rife enemey to travellers in the Sa-
hara. The Sirocco is much the same
kind of scOrching wind. Romantic
sounding enough is the name Khan
sin, but those who have encountered
this hot, dry wind on the Egyptian
plains do not have very pleasant men,
cries of it. The Harmattan is SINH.
larry unpopular among the inhabitants
of western Africa and those travellers
who have been unfortunate enough to
encounter this desert, dust-laden
wind. Fohn Is the name of another
dry, hot wind, which has an enervat-
ing effect upon the valley jewellers on
the northern side of the Alps. The
name of the Pampero has glamor
about II which bellies 1t in reality.
This fearful combination Of violent
wind, rain, thunder, and lightning is
only too familiar to the residents of
the Argentine and Uruguay.

Day of Sea Chanties
Belongs to the Past

Music of the sea and true sea music
are not at all tie same thing. Songs
about the sea and the life Of a sallOr
have been made in every language,
but most of them have been written
and sung by people who are safe and
comfortable OF dry land, and II seems
natural enough that sailors, when
they are aboard sip. should want TO
sing about almost anything but the
sea. There Are, as matter Of fact,
no sea songs nowadays-none, that Is,
that are sung by sailors, since there
are so few real sailors. Sea songs
and chanties are remembered and
published AMI sung by landsmen. but
there can be no new songs Of the kind
till some one finds a way of singing
to the work that has to be done on a
steamship. Stocking would seem to be
the most likely work for the purpose,
but who could expect singing In a
stokehold. And so the music on mod
ern ships is mostly supplied by band
for the enjoyment, or not, Of the pas
sengers.

Few articles of dress were more
popular at one time than the short
coat known as the Spencer, the orr.

This was objected to, whereunon the
earl offered to bet that II he cut Off

was taken, the coat prepared and

Wind and Fish

1t is reported that a singular cor
respondence exists between the pre-
valling direction of the wind on the
coast of New South Wales and the
average catch of fish.
1t appears that the winds which in.
fluence the ocean currents influence,
in turn, the course of the fish. These
influences have periods of three or
four years. Thus, in 1919. there was
a general scarcity of fish, but after
ward they became more and more
abundant up to the year 1922. In
1924, there was another scarcity Of
fish, but the next year they returned
in increasing numbers.
The cause of these variations was
regarded as a mystery until the coin.
cidence with the prevailing direction
Of the coastal winds was noticed.
Now, II is thought, by the study Of
the winds, the prospects Of the fisher
man may be predicted two or three
years In advance.

Drugs in Modern Use
Familiar to Ancients

Thirty per cent of the drugs used
by modern medicines we're known in
remote antiquity, reveals DR.. Charles
Singer In his book "a Short History
of Medicine" published by the Oxford
University Press.
The Egyptian medical papyrl men-
ton, among other drugs, he writes,
"Aloes, caraway, castor oil, corlander,
dill, fennel, juniper, mint, myrrh, and
turpentlne, Among Egyptian mineral
remedies still In use are salts of COP
per and lead. Assyrian medical tab
lets refer to most Of the Egyptian
drugs as well as to a number Of 9th
ers, among which are almond oil, ami
seed, galbanum and licorice. Among
Assyrian mineral remedies that are
used by US to this day are alum and
bitumen." Early Indian medicinal
herbs are also still in use in scientific
medicine, according to Doctor Singer.

No Chance for Witches

Salem has at last lived down her
witches says the New York Times.
The day when persons suspected of
practlclng witchcraft were burned to
death is now 50 far submerged In the
mists of legend that its shadow never
obtrudes upon the up-and-coming
prosperity of tie modern Massachu-
sets town. Belief in witchcraft con-
notes ignorance, and that ignorance
has been effectively banished from the
s:ene must be at once evident to any
traveller who les into the Salem
railroad station. For the first thing
that attracts the eye is a sign, prom
inently placed, which reads "lnforma.
iOn-Chamber Of Commerce." with a
firm painted hand pointing the way.

Sense of Sight in
Plants Seems ProUed

The sense most developed In plants
Is that of sight, which enables them
to see light, but not to distinguish
objects. This sense limitation Is
found among many living creatures,
such as the earthworm, oyster and
coral, ETC., which possess no localized
visual organ, but give proof OF their
luminous impressions by the contrac-
lions that they manifest when exposed
to a ray of sunlight. Similarly, 1t Is
easy to gauge the influence Of light on
plants. Cultivate a plant In a room
with window only on one side and
Its stalks In growing will incline to-
ward the source Of light. Psychologists
explain this by suggesting that the
side to the dark grows more quickly
than that exposed to the light. There
remains, however, the fact that the
plant has reacted to the light, Of
whose effect II was conscious.
A sense common to many plants Is
that Of touch. OF this the most illus
: tratlve example is, as its name i'm
plies, the sensitive plant. Another
leaf responsive to the touch is the
catch-1y, whose two halves close down
one upon the other by means Of q
central hinge.

Missing Finger GaDe
Police Needed CletU

Finger prints on stolen goods are If
more interest sometimes than foot
prints on the sands Of time. By their
aid, the Leeds (England) police OBJ
talned a clew TO the thief who had
been robblng handbags from the pews
of St Anne's Roman Catholic cathe-
dral.
When the finger prints were made
clear by pOwdering a chemical dust
on the ransacked bags, 1t was seen
that the Robin, hand had only three
fingers. The light-fingered thief was
a finger short.
Watch was ept and a woman who
entered the cathedral was noticed to
have only three fingers on her right
hand. She sat down near her usual
hunting ground by the side of bag
which had been left there.
When she got up to go. the bag was
empty. But It had been a bait, and
the rest Of this painful story was told
at the police court.

Small Boy Trapped
bY Leading Question

Five pieces Of candy remained on
the plate. Billy, Harry and Robert
had eaten as much as they were per-
mitted to eat, and mother suggested
that the five pieces be saved until
later time. Father agreed that moth.
er's suggestion was made at the
proper moment.
In the evening father noticed that
only four pieces of candy remained
on the plate, which had been placed
on the buffet. He called the boys to
inquire about the missing piece Of
candy, which he felt was to have been
left untouched.
"Who has eaten a piece Of candy
since dinnerT he asked.
"All Of us looked at 1t, but Billy
ate it," said Robert, the Oldest, to
whom the question seemed to be ad-
dressed particularly.
"Did you eat the candy?" the ia
Their asked Billy, age three.
NO" replied Billy, who felt that
he had made a most polite answer.
"Was 1t good, Bllly?" asked the
father.
20 yes" said the child, not aware
of the contradiction In his reply.

JUNEAU BOY HERE AFTER AN ABSENCE
 OF EIGHT YEARS

Returning to the old home town after eight years absence. Wil- liam Erichsen. has arrived here frcm Faii banks.
 Mr. Erichsen, who was employed on the Juneau --aiiy capital as reporter, left for Seattle in Feb ruary, 1921. The following two summers he was with the North western Fisheries O., at their cannery at Chignik, as captain Of one of their tenders.
 Returning to Seattle in the au- tumn of 1922, Mir. Erichsen, desir- ing to see the Orient, engaged pas sage for Shanghai. China. Shortly after his arrival in Shanghai. he obtained employment with one of the leading export and import con- eerns of that city.
 After one year in Shanghai, MT. Erichsen returned to Seattle, to engage in the importing business. until the spring Of 1925, when the lure of Alaska became overpower- ing, and he came north again, this time to Cordova.
 In the fall of 1926 Mr Ericisen landed at Fairbanks, whehe he has been employed by the Fair banks Exploration Co, until re- gently, when he decided to return home to Juneau.
