The American Characteristic.
On the eve of Marshal Joffre's de
parture from the I'nited States, which
he visited in 1017, says an tCngllah
writer, a reporter asked htm to tell
what American characteristic had
most Impressed hi 111.
"Well, since you have put It that
way." replied the marshal, "I luce
been chiefly Impressed by your blunt
outspokenness, and, if 1 may venture
in say so, by your lack Of respect for
your superiors."
"Our superior! I" exclaimed the re
porter. "But we haven't any I"
"And." remarked JolTre. in telling
the story, "after having made I he ac
quaintance Qf their wonderful country
and of its still more wonderful Inhab
itants, I have come to the conclusion
that what the reporter said was about
right"

Japan Sees Need of Chanqe.
In consequence of the ever-increas
lug magnitude of Japan's economic re
lationship with foreign nations it has
been round that the Japanese system
of weights and measures, which is a
lelie of the t'eudal regime, gives rise
to considerable difficulty and Incon
venience in trade hecause of Its total
difference from any accepted system
of the world measurements. Accord
ingly, the question of radical reforma
tion of the existing system has long
been considered, it Is now repotted
that after a careful consideration of
tin' subject hy a commission, which
was established in the department of
agriculture and commerce for that pur
pose, the authorities concerned have
reached a decision that the French
metric system should he universally
adopted. Fast ami West News.

Magazine, hut the birds assist mate

the pest. Of 27 species of birds ex
amined 25 were grasshopper eaters.
In 10 of the species all of the individ

Death Valley Once Lake.
In support of the view that Death

bed of a lake. Is the discovery of
traces of an unfile r water-line run

The bottom of the valley is 200 feet
below -.en-level. The winds from the
Pacific cross four ranges of moun
tains before reaching the valley, and
by that time they nave been drained
of their htal drop of moisture.
It Is said that no spot on earth
surpasses Death Vttlle) In aridity or

Fake Teeth for Bears.
Animal dentistry, says a dentist cor
respondent, is as risky q It Is fascinat
ing. The tilling of rough or uneven
teeth of u lion or tiger requires not
only strength hut nerve, for you cannot
put a wild animal under gas as you
run a man or woman. To extract an
animal's tooth Is far from an easy busi
ness, and in many cases it Is easier to
null a screw ill Mil a piece of oak In
means of a pair of pliers. A well
known menagerie owner once had an
old pet bear ntted out with a com
plete set of false teeth. The plates
had to be ":lued" to the mouth of the
beast In order to keep tit m in place.
