Why French King Bridge
 Is Given Unusual Name

During the French and Indian war, a party of French and Indians came down the Connecticut river on a scout ing expedition, their object being to spy out the most desirable point to launch an attack at later time. The party was under the command of a French officer. They reached the vicin- ity of a rock as the shades of night appeared. Being of no mind to attempt the passage of the rapids just below
 the rock in the dark, they made camp on the western bank opposite it. The rock being the most conspicuous ob- ject which had attracted his notice, the officer wished to mention it in his re- port and fix 1t as something which might be referred to in the futre; hence he staged a ceremony by lighting an altar fire on it's top, sprinkled it with
 water of the river, and christened
 1t French King in honor of his sov- ereign. The setback from the dam at Turner Falls now covers all but the top of the rock. It may be seen from the upstream side of the bridge and has been known for years as French King rock; hence, French King bridge.

Why the Roads Wind

English roads have more bends In them than the roads of any other country. But every curve in road has some reason. Has It ever occurred to you that 1t would make your walks more interesting to find out the reasons for the bends in the roads in your own neighborhood?
 Road builders have never made q curve in a road without some purpose, and if you can find out what that pur- pose was-by using your eyes and by asking people---you will get quite q good idea of what your town or vil- lage or suburb was like before the roads were made.
 These are a few of the reasons for roads winding:
 To avoid a steep slope.
 To avoid swampy ground.
 To skirt the edge of somebody's land.
 To avoid house that had been built right In the way, but which has long since vanished, leaving only the bend in the road as record.

gerous season of each year, which is in the late spring and early summer.
 Ten nations joined in bear- ing the expense, the patrol duty being performed by the United States Coast Guard. cutters. This patrol has been main- tained each year since the Ti- tanic disaster, with the except ion of two years during the war.
 Two cutters are employed each year, using Halifax as a base, and they send out inform ation of icebergs sighted, this information being transmitted by radio to all vessels in the danger zone. Captains of ves- sells of all nations cooperate by reporting to the ice patrol any icebergs sighted by them this data also being broadcast by radio twice daily.
 In the 20 years since the ice patrol was established not a single life has been lost nor single ship damaged through collision with icebergs. Truly a fine record.

Why Bees Swarm

The latest theory about the puzzle of the swarmng of bees is' that our hive bees are descended from Indian bees which migrate when flowers die in one district and bloom in another. and that our bees retain the age-old
 migratory instinct. When queen leaves hive with large number of followers. her instinct has urged her to seek fresh supplies of food. Swarm ing does not usually take place at the height of particular honey flow. but as one begins to fail. From April to August the supply of the nectar of flowers of which bees make honey is very irregular. There is a gap, for instance, between the blooming of ap- pie blossom and of clover. Then the old migratory instinct asserts itself

WHY============:======= People Do Vote for Different
 Parties and Leaders

Scientists of the Carnegie institute at Washington conducted a learned investigation into the question of why people of superior intelligence and with the same high purpose of pro- noting good government vote for dif- ferent parties and candidates. Of course. says Pathfinder Magazine, 1t is hard for an enthusiastic partisan to admit that the person supporting an opposing candidate is intelligent, pa triotic or even honest. But it is true, and even the excited partisan will concede it after he has cooled down.
 It may be added that voters do not always agree with themselves. Some few start out in support of one can dldate and switch to another in the course of the race. There is such q mixture of infiuence--reasOn, heredity, training, environment, prejudices, per. sonalities, words and deeds, emotion pulling at every person that 1t is hard to understand the result, or to explain why members of the same fam lily often differ.
 The scientists tried an experiment of having several thousand persons taste an Identical chemical. Some pro- nOunced 1t bitter, others sour. sweet, salty, and even tasteless. It was also found that some people cannot smell the odor of skunk. So it was con- cluded that different persons see, taste smell and view the same things differently.

Why Engines Puff

An engine puffs, choo, choo, choo, choo, because the steam is exhausted from the cylinders at each stroke of the pistons. The steam, its work done, is sent into that section of the railroad engine known as the exhaust nozzle, and so out through the smoke stack. The fact also accounts for the reason one sometimes feels light moisture coming from the smoke. Were it not for the presence of steam with the smoke, there would be no noise and no choo-choO, and what would a big, husky, railroad engine be without it's choO?

THE ICE PATROL

It sometimes takes a great disaster to awaken a community or a nation to the fact that a known menace to life and property often may be removed through intelligent action. Such was the lesson of the Titanic, sunk through collision with an iceberg on April IA, 1912, with a loss of 1,517 lives.
 This shocking tragedy of the sea aroused a demand for pre- cautionary measures, resulting in the formation of the inter- national ice patrol to watch for and report the locations of ice- bergs in the North Atlantic steamer lanes during the dan-
