The term "white metal" as applied to silver is not merely a writers designation as many believe. It is derived from a Greek equivalent of the Latin term for silver, "angentum," which means white"
 Argentite, common in local mineral formations, is sulphide of silver of a lead-grey color.
 Argillite is a general geolog- ical designation for clay-slate formations.

Why Darwinian Doctrine
 May Have to Be Modified

It was Darwin who first pointed out the significance of color in nature. The insect called q walking stick" is indistinguishabe from the surround ing twigs, and certain butterflies look like leaves. Why? So that enemies will pass them by in blissful ignorance. If a color is particularly garish in an insect or lower animal. it is supposed to have frightening effect or to give warning of vile taste. Gaudy petals are as- sumed to be signals to attract pol len-bearing insect from another flower.
 Even one who is not a biologist must be struck by this anthropo- morphism. In other words, Darwin assumed that the lower animals, in- cluding the insects, see the world as we see it. But is the assumption justified? Dr. Frank F. Lutz of the American Museum of Natural History has been making explrements which show conclusively that 1t is not. All of which makes one wonder if the whole Darwinian doctrine of mmicry and the purposefulness of color must not be modiied.-New York Times.

Why Wren Houses Hang on String

Wren houses are sometimes hung on a string or wire instead of being placed in the branches of trees. There is no real reason for this unless the house is poorly constructed and could be broken into by cats or squirrels. The house wren is not very sociable In it's habits and for that reason oth- CT birds hesitate to become neighbors. Few other birds win nest in the vicin- ity oi an occupied wren house, as the wrens interfere with their nesting and often destroy the eggs of other birds.

WHY
Vehicles in the United States
 Pass to the Right.

The Conestoga wagon, the freight hauling vehicle of the early days, Is responsible for the present custom of vehicles passing on the right In the United States. according to the bureau o" public roads. Before the extensive use of the Conestoga wagon it was the custom to pass vehicles to the left fol- lowing the earlier English rule.
 In England in the days when men trayeled armed on horseback, it was the custom to pass to the left so that the sword or pistol arm would be on the side of the man passed. Later, Tn travel by coach or wagon, the driver sat on the right side to give his right arm free play in welding the whip, and passing to the left he was better able to avoid entanglements with the wheels of passing vehicles. Traffic passes to the left to this day in Eng land.
 The drivers of the Conestoga wag- ons rode the left wheel horse. Fass- Ing to the right was more convenient in spite of the fact that 1t was the custom to pass to the left. as in Eng land. Drivers riding the lazy board" of the Conestoga wagon-a board be- tween the two left-side wheels that pulled out and could be ridden when driving from the side of the wagon preferred passing traffic to the right. and traffic was passed on that side.
 The deep wagon ruts in the single track roads made by the Conestoga wagon drivers were followed by other traffic. This explains why vehicles pass to the right in the United States.
