Great Queen Of Song
Attempted Too Much

The failure of many artistes who
remain unknown comes from the fact
that they do not know in what direc-
tion their power lies. The failures
of great artistes nearly always come
from their lack of knowledge Of their
own limitations. Few can. indeed. go
on for long years with record like
that of Madame Adelina Patti. of
whom II is said that she had hut one

was over fifty years old and had been
a leading opera singer for over thir-

Hemaris DiMnis

The adults of this genus of hum
ming-bird moths have wings from
whicl part of the scales rub off so
early that they are almost never seen
and those portions of the wings are
therefore described as transparent.
These adults have the unmothlike
habit of flying in the bright sunligh,
and when lowering at flowers. they
closely resemble humming birds. When
flying 1t suggests a humble bee. The
larvae feed on relatives of the honey,
suckle such as snowberry and vibur,
mum. They usually pupate In fallen
leaves and generally make a queer
sort of cocoon

Worlds Finest Opals

What is claimed to be the finest
specimen Of Australians own particu.
lar gem. the opal, has just been dis
covered near Walgett, New South
Wales. 1t is wonderful stone. and
when roughly dressed measured six
and one-half inches by two inches.
and weighed 100 carats.
Some Of the worlds most magnifl.
cent opals have come from the fields
of New South Wales. and of all
dressed stones perhaps the choicest
is the "Flame Queen" which meas
ures more than two inches by nearly
two and one-half inches and weighs
253 carats.
Red, green. orange. blue. gold: and
every known color are blended In the
newly discovered gem, which is val
ued at more than Vancouver

Difficulties of Life
Have Their Purposes

Very rare are those who have al
ways had their every wish fulfilled
or forestalled; but even these should
not be envied.
Man is not made to live In per-
petual sunshine, and would very soon
tire Of having all he desires. with
out having to wait and work for tho
naturalization of his longings. The
greater the ease of obtaining what he
wants-the sooner 1t would pail upon
him.
LIES difficulties and prolonged
trials, says the London Chronicle, are
a test Of character. If we had no diff
ficulties to overcome and our patience
were not tried, we might continue to
exist-but our claim to be called
"men" and women" would be slen-
der.
Though we often groan under its
weight, we should respect the bur.
den," and thus retain our cheerfulness
and serenity.

Soothe Doomed Shark
by Tickling Its Hide

Few of us would like to tackle the
tiger of the seas in his native haunts,
but the brown men of Aitutaki In the
Southern seas have no such scruples.
There, in the calm emerald waters Of
the lagoon, fringed about with wav-
ing palms, are great hOllows in the
coral rocks; here, during the hottest
hours of the day, the sharks love to
bask In the welcome shade.
Ten feet of shark lies snug within
the shadow, only a slowly waving
tail proclaiming his presence. Then
out from the beach creeps a canoe.
with a rope of sinnet ready coiled.
Silently the Kanakas paddle to the
spot, where deep down in the clear
water that slaty-gray tail moves
slowly.
Poised for a moment while he in
hales a deep breath, the brown man
waits, the loop Of the rope over his
arm. Then, in a beautiful curve, he
dives Now he Is beside the shark and
his hand softly rubs the rasping hide.
The shark likes 1t.
Suddenly the moose is fixed over
the flukes of the tail, and brown
form Is seen scrambling quickly over
the gunwale Of the canoe.
Then comes rapid padding OF the
frail craft, the line is hauled in and
the shark is effectively dispatched
with blow Of q club.

disappeared, as If into the air. Fur

camera failed to take a picture of

was taken, this time at three times

OFFERS PRIZES

Tomato growers in the State will again

succeed in producing in excess of 10 tons
to the acre there will be given special
certificates of merit A large enrolment
in the contest is expected this year be-
cause of the very great interest which
was shown last season. This, in spite of
tae fact that the ten ton goal is consider
ably above the State wide average pre-
duttion OF four tons to the acre.
eleven entrants finished above ten ton
mark in the 1928 contest. Mr.. Goodwin
announces, but the production of all en-
trants increased 100 per cent above the
average production obtained before the
improved methods were applied. The
object of the contest. it is pointed out. is
not to increase tomato production indis-

those practices which are essential in
obtaing high yields at lower cost of
propuction.
The prizes are being provided by the
State Packers Assertion and the win
ners will be the guests of the Association
at the annual winter meeting, at which
time the prizes will be awarded. Circu-
