"LOTUS" PLANT A MYSTERY Scientists In Dispute a to What Kind of Food Had 8uch Remark, ablt Effects, What was the plant the "lotus eat ers" ate, which so destroyed their "pen," strancers who visited their land, nnd partook of the remarkable vegetable losing nil desire to return to home and friends? There has been no end of dlspnte on the subject. One thing Is certain. however. Is that It could not have iM'en the Egyptian lotus, which within recent years has begun to be widely grown in water gardens. This plant develops tubers, deep In the mud, which are about the size of bens' eggs nnd good to ent, but the eating of them hns no such deleterious effect aa that above described. The Egyptian lotus la a kind of water illy, whose superb flowers look like huge pink tulips. Once upon a time It grew wild along the banks of the Nile, and the surmise la that orig inally It won fetched from India, where it Is native. It wns regarded anciently as the emblem of the Nile, nnd the symbol of the creation of the world from the waters. To tie Egyp tians It was a sacred plant. They cultivated It In ponds nnd tanks, wreathing their heads with the blos soms on festive occasions. The lotus hns had a wonderful inflrj ence upon architecture. Its leaves and buds appear In the capitals of classic columns and In every sort of antique decorative carving it is the motif most frequently chosen. The art work of Jnpnn (Into which country It was Im ported) Is Inspired by It to a greater extent than by anything else in na ture. Happlnecs Not Found In Crowds. Contact with great crowds Is no guarantee of happiness. Almost every man nt some time or another gets the fever for the great city. If he could only mingle with the crowds that throng the streets and rub shoulders with multitudes striving for success or dnllmlted pleasures be would be sure to revel In happiness. How rude the nwakentng must be when be tries It. The great city doesn't know you have entered it Ton may be the Oracle of your own town but yon may stand on the street of the city and watch the passers-by for hours at a time nnd no one will say a word to you. There Is no more lonesome feel ing In the world than that of feeling yourself alone in the midst of people. It's as had as being thirsty In the mid dle of the ocenn.

The 200 reproductions of the world'a most famous pictures are being ahown in the west rooms on the first floor. These gems of art can bo aeen dur ing the hours from 4 to 6 and 7:30 to 9 p. m. dully.

The livers In the sn gar-growing dis tricts of Australia will run less sweet ly now that the government has re moved the excise duty of a shilling a gallon which haa made unprofitable the local manufacture of Industrial alcohol. Every year, so writes a cor respondent of the London Times Trade Supplement from Sydney, hun dreds of thousands of gallons of molasses have been run .Into those rivers because there was no profit In using the molasses to make alcohol; but the removal of the duty conies as nn Important part of the movement now under way to replace petrol with Industrial alcohol and thus make Aus tralia able to produce her own liquid fuel. One Immediate result has been the formation In Australia of an Impor tant company to manufacture Indus trial alcohol: and one future result seems to be that Australians who now speak of petrol will eventually say "nntnllte." In Natal a patent spirit which haa been given this new nnme Is already being marketed at a price lower than petrol, and the making of this liquid fuel Is about to be under taken on a large scale In Papua, where plants and trees have been discovered that are expected to yield about 73 gallons a ton. A hundred square miles of country have been reserved on which some 6,500,000 gallons of nntnl lte a year are considered a reasonable beginning with the likelihood of In creasing the output to at least 18, 000,000 gallons when a system of re planting the land has been put In operation. The plan goes further, and will seek to engage farmers to co operate by raising crops of sorghum, with an estimated yield of 80 gallons of Industrial alcohol to the ton, for a share In the profits. . AS HE SIZED UP THE VISITOR Hotel Clerk Waa Pretty Sure That He Waa Not Likely to Coma In .Very Early. Cortlnndt Bleeker said at a New York roof-garden supper: "Apropoa of New York as a summer resort, I heard a story the other day. "A westerner blew in here and ap plied for a room In a hotel. The hotel clerk said to him : " "Very sorry, sir, but we're so over crowded that I'll have to ask yon to share a room with another gentleman. Will that dor "'lira. Yes, I suppose so said the Westerner reluctantly, "but will this ehnp turn In early? I've got a lot of work to do here In New York, and m need a lot of sleep, and I don't want to be disturbed, by crinus." The clerk laughed. "You'll have your night's rest com pleted before tills gentleman ever gets In,' he said. " 'Sure of thatr said the westerner. "Certainly, said the clerk. 'You see, the man's been stopping with us every August for the last eleven yenrs, and this Is the first time he's made the trip without bis wife.'" Men Always Lovers of Color. Men's love of color can be traced to the dawn of history. Perhaps the rainbow offered Itself as a color care to the Babylonians. Egyptians and the Chinese, for history reveals the fact that centuries before the Chris tian era color played an Important part In their art and architecture. In Egypt., water colors made of powdered pigments, mixed with gums and wnter. were used In the temples and on the monuments of the ancient dynasties. Specimens of Egyptian art color work are exhibited In the University ol Pennsylvania Museum of Art; the ear liest date back about 9,000 years. 8hakeapeare aa Poacher. In the description of the amenities of the Shakespeare hotel, Stratford on-A von, which was recently put up at auction, the story Is revived that Shakespeare came before Sir Thomas Lucy on a charge of stealing deer from Charlcote park. The charge Is open to the comment that In the time of Elisabeth there was no deer park at Charlcote. To this It Is retorted that deer were to be found In many parks not described aa deer parka. As to all which It may be suggested that Shakespeare may have been brought before Lucy for stealing any deer within bis Jurisdiction. Japan Said to Be Furnishing Practi cally All of the Buttons Now Used In China. The style has changed In Manchuria that, Just after the establishment of the republic, set many Chlneae wear ing the garments of the West, and needing naturally western buttons. Such buttona, saya Consul General Al bert W. Pontius, writing home from Mukden to his government, were Ira ported about equally from Japanese and Luropean manufacturers, but now the Chinese have pretty well gone back to their own style of dress, and the one European garment that attll re mains popular la the heavy ulster. One no longer needa buttons, except for one's ulster, and these are now chiefly Imported from Japan, for the Chinese costume does very well with "frogs." But buttons, no longer seen, are evi dently needed somewhere, for In 1019 China Imported about $400,000 worth of them, bone buttons, composition but tons, and mother-of-pearl buttona, and about 89 per cent of these buttons were "made In Japan." The war baa given Japan almost a monopoly: one might say that Japan buttona China. And so It Is, says Consul General Pon tius, with needles to sew the buttona on. Before the war China waa Import ing approximately tOOO.OOO worth of needles a year, chiefly from Germany and Austria ; but now the .Japanese needle manufacturers control the Chi nese market, and that la sad for the Chinese needlewoman or needleman, because the Japanese needles do not keep their sharp points anything like aa long aa the European needles.'

Discoveries of great Interest to arrhaeologlsta have been made on the Island of Ulsga, In Ijx-h Sunurt, Ar gyleshire, Scotland, where a band of scientists has been searching In huge ghell mounds. The director of the party Is of the opinion that the discoveries made In thla rocky and uninhabited Island have gone far to settle the dispute among archaeologists aa to whether a break Intervened In the human occupation of the British Isles between Palaeo lithic and Neolithic periods. He says: "Vestiges of human activity ex tremely like the 'Azillun,' aa the inter mediate period Is called In France, have now been recognized In Scotland In the Island of Oransay, adjoining Colonsny, and the name of Oransay has been given to thla period In Scot land." The RlB(ta excavations disclosed re mains of the Oransay man's dwelling places, with his food, refuse and rude tools, made of flint, Jasper, quarts and qunrtzttc, horn and bone, and many large Implements made from the ant lers of the red deer.

Every call and challenge of life hns Its appropriate window. Some are of the stalned-glnss variety, heavy lead ed, but permitting no vision. The win dow Itself Is the thing beautiful and the beholder Is not exiected to see be yond It. Even the sunlight Is changed aa It passes through the glnsa. Such windows nre usually stationary and are the end In themselves. The clouds and sunshine Influence what Is within but nothing without can enter. Other windows are of the prism variety. They give rainbow effects but reveal nothing as It really Is. 8uch windows bewitch and enslave, but never reveal the outer life or permit the Inner self to flow ouf Into the great throbbing, panting world. These windows adorn and beautify, but we need the crystal glass to help us get the far vision and grow upon the lessons of life. Grit. Saya Swans Are Useful. A pair of swans, to replace others which escaped during the war, bas been presented by the lord chamber lain to the Itoyal Botanic society of London. These are not merely for ornamental purposes, says the London Dally Chronicle, but are to be em ployed ou useful work In demolishing the water weeds which have accumu lated In the society's lake In their gar dens at Regent's park. The absence of tho swans resulted In the lake be ing overrun with water weeds, brought there. Is waa believed, by a heron which periodically visited the water for Ashing purposes.
