Sleeping on One Leg Is
WAY Heron Gets His Rest

Birds have funny ways o. rest
ing. The heron, for instance, sleeps
while standing on one leg. The
other leg is drawn up and tucked
among its breast feathers, while
it's head is buried in it's back.
Starlings do their exercises be-
fore they retire. They congregate
near their resting place, then fly
round and round, the whole flock
turning, twisting and dipping like
one bird, as if obeying orders.
Swallows like to rest on tele-
graph wires and other thin sup
ports. Why don't they fall off?
Because there are muscles in their
claws which automatically lock
their foothold and keep them safe.
Duck and geese, notes a writer
in Pearson's Weekly, often sleep
on the water, now and then pad
ding for a momentum their sleep
to prevent themselves drifting to
the shore, where their natural enc
mics, the foxes, might Turk.

The seal played a great part in
legal documents in ancient Rome
and our own use of seals in legal
documents is derived from the Ro-
man practice. Caesar Augustus
authenticated his edicts with one

a head of Alexander or a signet
bearing the likeness of his own
head. Maecenas, the famous pa

Comets Return to Sun

Most comets return to the sun
after a period of years. Biela's
comet, on its return in 1846, split
into two parts, and on its next
visit came back as twins - two
comets were travelling in almost
the same orbit formerly occupied
~ one and on the same time
schedule. There are several rec
ords Of such multiple comets. The
converse of this phenomenon is
even more common. They break
up. What causes this is unknown.
Disintegration probably is caused
by the same forces that cause them
to split.

Swing Music" Man Is
Allowed Natural STYLE


The origin of the name "swing
music" has been ascribed to a
well-known director, who exhorted
his band to Swing it," using the
word in the sense of "give full
swing to it," or in other words,
"have each player indulge his ma
tural bent"
According to various leaders of
swing bands, it is music in which
the musician expresses his person
atty or his carefree feelings in
rhythm, riding away from the orig
inal melody but never losing sight
of it. The melody is submerged
but not discarded. It is total relax
alton, playing as you feel the music
and not as written by the COM
poser.
When an orchestra swings, it
plays polyphonically, with every
instrument given an equal voice
and complete freedom within its
possibilities, in contrast to the
symphonic European style in which
the emphasis is placed upon strings
and tradition.
In swing music, equal emphasis
is placed upon melody, harmony,
counterpart and rhythm. There is
a difference between improvisation
and swing. "Jam is pure impro-
visation by group; if their col
lective improvisations are rhyth-
matically integrated, they swing |;
or in other words, good jam
swings. Detroit News.

Darwin's Early Life

Darwin's father was a physician
and wished him to adopt that pro-
fession. At the age of 16 he en-
tered the University of Edinburgh,
but disliked medicine, and later
entered Christ's college, Cam
bridge, to prepare for the ministry.
There he became acquainted with
Henslow, the professor of botany,
who did much to shape his career.
The proficiency that Darwin dis
played in every department of nat
ural science won him such distinc-
ton that he at last obtained his
fathers consent that he should not
enter the church.

The popular idea that camel Is
a surly and stupid beast is wrong.
The Arabs have a motto Patient
as a camel" for they know from
experience that this animal never
forgets either a benefit or a wrong,
according to a writer in Pearson's
Weekly. A single act of unkind-
ness or injury may be ignored, but
If this is repeated, he will be re-
venged one day. A camel bides
his time. He waits until his enemy
is alone with him, when he makes
a sudden snatch with his mouth,
or kicks him over and tramples on
him.

Judge Walter T. Mccarthy in

Citizens Of East Falls Church,
which was included in the town
of Falls Church for years, despite
the fact it was geographically To-
Gated in Arlington county, petit
toned Judge Mccarthy last year
to be permitted to withdraw from
the town to save duplication Of
taxes in both the municipal and
county governments.
Following Judge McCarthy's
issuance of the order, the town Of
Falls Church appealed the case
to the State Supreme Court,
which upheld the circuit courts
order.
Provisions Of the order are that
East Fails Church must pay in
tereSt and principal when due on
29.2 per cent Of the towns school
bonds.
While title Of the school build
ing will be retained by Falls
Church, schooling will be provided
for the children of the seeding
district through the close Of the
1897 school year.
Other provisions in the order
require East Falls Church to pay
Is per cent Of the towns water
bonds, and for the town to refund
one-third Of the annual property
taxes collected from the East Falls
Church area.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,

White House remains at half
staff. There we're certain Off
Gals and senators whom the
President saw today, including
Governor Brann of Maine, Sena-
tor Frederick Hale of Maine, Gen.
Edgar Markham, Of the Engineer
Corps, U. S. A; Senator ArShurst
Of Arizona, Representative Mar
vim Jones of Texas, and Under
secretary Tugwell, of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. These visi-
tors to his office completed the
days work.
White House Saddened
After lunch the President went
to the Executive Mansion and re-
manned there. There will, of
course, be little if any official
activity at the White House, which
is deeply saddened by the death
Of the man recognized as the
Presidents closest friend and his
most valued adviser.
The death of Colonel Howe was
shock, even though his passing
had been expected to occur at
almost any time" as he has been
gradually fading since severe ILL
ness confined him to his bed more
than a. year ago. He suffered
from a complex attack, including
asthma and a weakening heart
condition which the physicians
frequently said would have been
fatal to many another man
months ago.
Colonel Howe was never a ro-
bust person, but he displayed a
tenacity and will power which
cheered his friends many times.
Shortly after he was stricken, his
life was despaired Of, but he made
record-breaking rally, to use the
phrase Of the physicians.
Taken to Hospital
Following this show of strength,
Colonel Howe remained in his
room at the White House and
later, during the alterations at
the Executive Mansion, was re-
moved to Naval Hospital.
The President was visibly and
deeply affected by the death of
bis secretary, who was so close a
friend and had been his most in.
innate political adviser since 1910.
There has not been, however, any
announcement of official or per.
Sonal messages of coincidence, be.
cause these are all directed to
Mrs. Howe, who has not made any
of them public so far.
The death of Colonel Howe and
the funeral have made a differ
ence in the Presidents plans for
this week. Following the inter.
ment at Fall River, Mass, tomor-
row, the President and a part of
his official staff will depart i'm
mediately for Hyde Park, N. Y,
wher he will remain until Satur-
day afternoon. He then intends
to motor to New York city to de-
liver his deayed Jefferson Day ad-
dress to the 102nd annual dinner
Of the National Democratic Club
at the Hotel Commodore. It is
possible he will not return to
Washington until the following
Monday.
Before his removal to the hos.
pital Howe lived at the White
House so he could be available
when the President wanted him.
So close was Howe to the Roose-
Welt family that the children
now grown up-have always re-
fsrred to him as Louie"
