NATURE is PRovIDENTIAL

Nature is kind, just and consider
ate. Nature is the least pretentious,
and men who become great copy
her modesty. People who complain
OF her harshness, her bitterness, and
cruelty, are violators of her laws, and
nature deals mercilessly with such.
Nature has SO provided that man
may find living and sustenance some
how no matter how meagre the soil,
or rugged the land, and thickly the
wood. Great are men who learn Ma
lures ways, and ingeniously harness
her resources.

BEAUTY IN NATURE

Nature is an artist who handled her
brush and colors with consumate skill.
There is beauty in the rugged rocks,
the distant hills, the winding brook,
the shining stars, the floating clouds,
the rustling grass and swaying trees.
There is beauty in the uttermost
depths, the obscure wood, in vague
canyons, and untrodden paths. "The
glory of Nature lies in its concealed
wonders" But the true artist sees
beauty in this and that and every
thing.

ment and entertainment. Sort of sugar coating the

Becoming An Eagle Scout

h TOT many Boy Scouts achieve the distinction of
~ Eagle Scout according to the statement made by
area Scout Secretary Virgins. To attain this
honor boy must prove himself worthy and competent
to Scout officials and his community.
1t is not the award in ITSELF but there is an in
tangible value implied not measurable in either dollars
cents. It is rather qualities which constitute char
acter and individual personality which fidelity to the
Boy Scout credo earns for him this recognition.
Of the several million Boy Scouts only small
percentage have achieved this rank In the twenty-one
years of Scout activities in this country there have
been 1,2OO such awards made. May James Inglis and
James Baikie continue to abide by the Scout creed.

crease of 80 cars
The average tax dropped from $14.67 per car to

a larger proportion of lower priced cars and smaller
models. This shows that the public is not buying as
many automobiles formerly, and when they do,
the cars smaller and lower priced.

Tons of Red Sediment
in Downpour of Rain

Frederick Chapman, paleontologist
of the Australian commonwealth, has
continued his observations on red
rain in southeastern Australia which
he began in conjunction with "a. j..
Grayson in 1908. On the night of
December 81. 1927, after strong
northerly wind had carried thick
clouds of dust over Victoria and
blown the finer particles southwark
ever Bass strait, there were heavy
but irregularly distributed falls Of
red rain. Mr.. Chapman estimated
the amount deposited in Balwyn, a
suburb eight miles east of Melbourne,
at SIX tons to the square mile; the
commonwealth meteorological, 81. A.
Hunt, estimated the deposit at "a
tons to the square mile.
The red dust on this occasion was
exceptionally sticky. as the innumer.
able diatoms-nitzschia and cocco-
neis-still contained their endoch-
rome. The red stains on leaves
and flowers in the gardens were re-
tanned for days and even weeks. The
Impressions on glass indicate that
each raindrop was coated by thin
film of the dust. IN November 8,
1920, after northerly gale, showers
of red rain fell at 700 p. m. and
after 600 p. m. The amount of the
red sediment collected in vessel in
Mr.. Chapman's garden indicated a
fall of 81 tons to the square mile, or,
If it had been equally distributed
over Victoria, fall Of nearly 6,OOO,-
600 tons in that state. Both the mi
mute reddish fakes Of sediment and
the diatoms and sponge spicules show
that the material had been derived
from the arid regions in the north
west of Victoria and in central Aus
tralia.-Nature Magazine.

Coot, Properly Cooked,
Makes Excellent Dish

Many hunters find the common
coot, or mudhen, real gastronomic
treat, and where ducks and geese
are scarce the coot can very we'll
take their place. For that matter
biologists Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture say that the
coot is not to be despised as food
under any circumstances. An ex-
cellent recipe for cooking coot is fur
nished by George e. Mushback. SUI
perintendent Of the Bear river mi
gratory bird refuge. maintained by
the biological survey in the northern
marshes of Great Salt lake, Utah.
Mr.. Mushbach says that cooked in
the following manner coot is equal
to any duck we have:
Skin the birds and cut off legs and
breast. Split breast in two parts.
Wash all parts thoroughly in cold
water and, If desired, soak them
few hours in salt or soda water. but
this is not necessary, as skinned coot
has no strong or unpleasant flavor.
Roll damp meat in -four and place In
frying pan over a slow fire. Cover
pan and allow to fry slowly in either
bacon grease or lard. Keep pan COW
cred and after meat has cooked for
about thirty minutes add a generous
lump of butter. Get pan hot and
then pour in half to one cup Of
cold water Quantity to be gagged by
size of pan and number to be served).
Replace tight cover and allow to
steam about a minute or two. Re-
move meat, add sufficient flour to
thicken gravy, and serve.
Sounds mighty tempting!
