'I knew that you usually wintered here," she said, "but was astonished to hear that you had summered here." "I have not only wintered here and summered here," replied the unfash ionable one, "but I will astonish you still further when I tell you that I al ways fall here and have sometime? sprung here."

Scotland Is waking up to the fact that Its lakes and waterfalls may be made to serve other purposes than providing scenic attractions for tour ists. As proof of this the "Grampian Electricity bill" has been given a sec ond reading in the house of commons. In this a company Is empowered to collect and use the waters of 15 lochs and 99 small lakes, rivers, and streams over an area of 417 square miles. The waters proposed to be utilized are estimated to be capable of gen erating 56,000 horse power to. supply electricity in the counties of Perth, Kinross,-and Forfar, and districts In four other counties. The capital is placed at 4,500,000 ($22,500,000). That any of the beautiful lakes and falls of "Caledonia stern and wild" should be used to set the wheels of Industry spinning, many In Scotland regard, almost as sacrilegious desecra tion. And that opinion is shared by not a few Americans who are accus tomed to visit Scotland annually. But the promoters declare that the preservation of the natural beauties of Scotland Is expressly provided for by the terms of the bill. And they add that when the hum of the electrically driven wheels is heard in the land and dividends begin to come In, the cry of "desecration" will be heard no more. New York Post.

Copper horseshoes as a means of preventing forest fires have recently made their appearance in several of the national forests of the West, and, If the plans of certain forestry offi cials are carried into effects this metal will supplant steel upon the hoofs of all horses to be used on public do mains where there is any measure of fire hazard. According to the supervisor of the Angeles National forest. In southern California, steel horseshoes used in flinty mountain regions may have been the cause of some, of the mysterious fires that have started in the forest reserves. Heavy steel horseshoes striking against flint or hard granite may readily be the source of sparks, which, falling into dry grass or other Inflammable material, would quickly cause it to burst into flames if fanned by a breeze. The new - horseshoes- were given their first try-out recently In Cala veras county, California. Popular Mechanics. Moth-Proof Wool. A moth-repellant has been intro duced in the German market, which, it is claimed, will positively make the wool fabric absolutely moth-proof. An additional advantage of this product, known as Eulan F, is that It does not discolor the fabric, so that the wool can be dyed in bright shades without any difficulty. The product is a white powder which does not dissolve very easily in water. Acid must be added to make it dissolve. In this condition it is used in the textile mill, and it is preferable to put the woolen fabric through the moth-proofing treatment in the factory. Another form of the product is sold for use In the house hold. In this form the powder will dissolve very easily in water. The woolen fabric is then soaked In the solution and permitted to dry. Only a 1 per cent solution is. required. Eulan F is now on the market in Germany. From the Industrial Digest. Affected. With Myopia. I am nearsighted, and as a conse quence often get into embarrassing sit uations. One in particular greatly mortified me. I had started out bravely to sell books, and it was my first attempt at salesmanship. As I stepped onto a shaded porch out of the bright sun light, I stood for a second waiting, somewhat dazzled. A diminutive figure appeared on the opposite side of the screen door. Thinking the person a child, I asked : "Is your mother In?" Imagine my confusion when I dis covered the person to be a man about seventy years of age. Exchange. Northcliffe Superstitions. Lord Northcliffe had his supersti tions. He was inordinately afraid of the bad luck frequently associated with 13 persons . at a table. At a luncheon in his home in London last snmnier, 13 men sat down, including some Americans. Suddenly . Lord Northcliffe exclaimed, in a horrified voice: "There are 13 at this table. Every one- get up. We must wait un til my secretary comes to make 14." Subsequently Lord Northcliffe gravely related to one of his guests, an Amer ican newspaper man, many tragedies which he said were the result of the seating of 13 persons at table. Past and Present, A New York city official, as the story is going the rounds, was walk ing through City Hall park with one of his commissioners. As they passed the statue of Nathan Hale, who stands with his hands behind his back, the commissioner said: "Mr. Official, don't you think that statue of Nathan Hale is a beautiful piece 'of work?" "Hale? Nathan Hale?" said the offi cial In a puzzled tone. "Why,I thought that was a statue of Hou dinl !" Argus. America's Own Day. Thanksgiving is particularly our own holiday. It originated here and no other continent than this has It. Except for the Thanksgiving days of the United States and Canada there is in all the earth no official oc casion for returning thanks to Provi dence by the people as a people Irre spective of sect. Christmas and New Tear's are celebrated wherever the cross has found its way; inde pendence and memorial days are ob served In many lands; but the only national Thanksgiving day Is ours. HOW MANY SEEDS IN POUND? United States Department of Agricul ture Makes Count of Number -In Various Kinds of Grasses. Counts to determine the relation between the number of grass seeds to the pound and the number of pounds required per acre to assure a good stand of grass, have been made by the United States Department of Agricul ture. In general the fine-seeded grasses require fewer pounds of seed to the acre than do the coarse-seeded varieties. The work of the department shows that timothy on the average has 1,200, 000 seeds In a pound. Kentucky blue grass has 2,400,000 and Redtop, 4,000, 000, while Sudan grass has only 50, 000. Orchard grass has 500,000; Can ada blue grass, 2,700,000; tall meadow grass, 150,000; meadow fescue, 240, 000; foxtail millet, 200,000; sheep's fescue, 680,000; red fescue, 500,000 seeds; Italian rye grass, 280,000; perennial rye grass, 280,000; and Ber muda grass, 1,800,000. Timothy usually is seeded at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre; Ken tucky blue glass, 14 to 18 pounds; Redtop, 10 pounds; and Bermuda grass, 5 pounds. Orchard grass Is usually sown at the rate of 25 pounds to the acre; Canada blue grass, 15 pounds; and tall meadow oat grass, 40 pounds. Meadow fescue requires 25 pounds to the acre; foxtail millet, 12 to 25 pounds; sheep's fescue, 28 pounds ; and red fescue, 30 pounds. Italian rye grass Is sown at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds per acre; peren nial rye grass, 30 pounds;" and Sudan grass, 12 to 25 pounds per acre. There are some 6,000 distinct spe cies of cultivated and wild grasses in the world but only about 20 of these are of Importance in the United States. - ' Ancient Bibles. Many ancient Bibles are owned in Genesee county, according to reports coming into Flint, says a dispatch to the Detroit Free Press. Rev. George Bedford, pastor of the Congregational church at Grand Blanc, claims "to own the oldest one. It was printed in Oxford, England, in 1825. He has another printed In Worcester, Mass., in 1797. Of the many old Bibles in the coun try, a majority of them are reported to be well preserved, and are distin guished from the modern Bible by the addition of books to be found in them, such as Esdra, Baruch, Susanna, Maccabees. EVEREST TOP STILL UNTROD But British Explorers in Recent At tempt Got-to Height Never Previously Attained. -The highest point above sea level ever reached by a human being afoot, 27,300 feet, was attained, with the aid of oxygen-breathing apparatus, ' by two members of the Mount Everest expedition at noon, the 27th of last May, says Henry S. White in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. This brought the explorers within 1,702 feet of the summit, the highest point on the earth's surface. The final attempt was to have been made June 6, but the monsoon broke June 3, definitely frustrating any further efforts for this year at least When the monsoon breaks on Mount Everest, there is no alternative but to get off the moun tain as soon as possible. It has now been definitely proved that the mountain itself at the highest point reached is not difficult to climb, and the two explorers who came so near, to reaching the actual summit were able to proceed along the north face without ropes. The one and only obstacle that made the summit unat tainable was the bad weather, , and with the monsoon left out, It Is cer tain that the summit will be reached at the next attempt The two explor ers who reached this highest point were Capt. Geoffrey Bruce, one of the leaders of the expedition, and George Finch, a scientist attached to It iliiluUlli liiiiiliii li.iiiiii'tili Rough Men and Robins. A few days ago a car Inspector, looking over a coal train at Arkville, N. T., discovered a bird's nest on the top of a journal box of an empty car. Investigation disclosed two baby rob ins In the nest The orphan birds at once became the center of attraction for the yard men and the various train crews. It was quite evident the young robins needed parents. In an effort to find the home of the young travelers it was learned that the empty car had been picked up at West Davenport, 54 miles distant. A delegation of switchmen, yardmen, trainmen and other interested persons immediately waited on the division superintendent. The car was hooked on to an engine and taken back to West Davenport, where it was spotted In the railroad yard at the exact place from which it had been taken. The frantic mother bird found her little ones and everybody was happy.
