The richness of South American bird-life Is due to the presence of the Andes more than to any other one thing. It is the absence of great mountain chains In Africa, which ac counts for the comparatively small numbers of species of birds In that continent From base to summit, four distinct rones of life tropical, sub tropical, temperate and alpine ere found In the higher Andes, and each one has species which are confined to It. It Is not only the height of the An des which affects bird life. In places, for hundreds of miles, this gigantic range may appear us two or three chains, each not less than IO.ihmj o 11.0M) feet In height, and these cli matic walls nre as Impassable to the species living In the tropical or sub tropical valleys they Inclose as though they extended to the zenith. Isola tion Is, thereforev added to the fac tors of climate nnd sedentariness in the miiklr.g of the species, arid the three combined have produced a great er variety of bird life than Is found In un.v area of similar extent In the world. The American museum of nat ural history Inaugurated In Hill a bi ological survey of the Andean region with particular reference to Its bird life. As n result of the collections and field studies made, the museum Is now In possession of large collec tions and data from the more north ern part of the chain. FAMOUS BELLS OF BOSTON Not the Least In the Historic Old City Is the One That Was Cast by Paul Revere. A bell which was cast by Paul Re vere still bangs in the belfry of King's chapel, built when lioston was In Its Infancy. This bell was the one hun dred and sixty-first cast by Uevefe. Besides being a bell caster Uevere al so was an engraver, a goldsmith and a dentist. Rising above the modest houses Is the old North church, from which Revere received his signal previous to his famous midnight ride. Christ church, the second Episcopal church of Boston, Is situated In the north end, and Is an off-shoot of King's chapel. Its spire, designed and built In 1723. has served as a landmark to guide ships Into the harbor. In 1804 this spire wns blown down by a great gale, and was shortened by 16 feet. The chime of bells, now silent, which hangs In the tower, was made In 1774. In the foundry of Abel Ruddnll, of Gloucester. Knglnnd. Each hell has engrnved upon It an Inscription denot ing Its history. The bells. n3 wns com mon belief In that time, were supposed to possess the power to dispel evil spirits. ' - Stage and Movie. To me the Joy of the theater Is In the attention forced by n skillfully con structed piny acted by players of con viction and artistic power. I have of ten watched an audience coming from a movlng-plcture theater, and rarely have I seen a look of more elation or spirit upon the faces of the crowd than would result from the perusal of a newspaper. Whereas, after 'an eve ning at an Interesting play, the audi ence pours forth In animation; nnd even though the play may li.ive been n tragedy, emotions have been stirred and minds stimulated until the relic tion shows on every face. So long rs the huinnn relation Is preserved ne tween nctor and audience, so long will the acted drama retain Its "supremacy In nny community. Otis Skinner In the North American Review. The Wonder of Eggs. One cannot find among the multitude of wonders lu nature anything more marvelous thnn the development of an egg. writes Elsa G. Allen In the American Forestry Magazine. Wheth er It be a butterlly which flourishes for a day only to die after depositing its eggs, or o reptile which lazily leaves its eggs with only the warm sand to mother them, or a fish, like the salmon, which, with Incredible strength, jumps the -rapids to spawn In the upper reaches of rivers, or most appealing of all. a bird which builds a beautiful nest for its treasures, the egg in every case is structurally the same, and the miracle of life unfolds according to the same laws of cell division. Reckoning Longitude. Longitude in the United Kingdom and generally In the United States is reckoned from Greenwich, degrees be ing known as east longitude and west longitude from that point until they meet in the Pacific ocean at 180 de grees from Greenwich, the opposite zero point, Asia being In east longi tude and the United States In west longitude. For the same reason the term Orient Is applied to the Bast and Occident to the West- It may be said that Germany reckons longitude from Berlin, France from Paris and Spain from Madrid, while sometimes It is reckoned in this country from Wash ington, but, usually speaking, Green wich Is meant A Perfect Chesterfield.

After delving in the dark for weeks, the Polk County Observer has taken its readers into its confidence by giving the "Why of This Recall Election." It follows: "The why of the recall election is just as important as the real act in the minds of the people. The Obser ver, therefore, will tell its story at the very beginning of the campaign. "For a year and a half the publish er of this newspaper, who travels about the county considerably, in a cheap car, found that the roads jn all sections were constantly deterior ating. Hundreds of farmers came into our office and insisted that their roads were impassable. Men and women told of the loss of valuable fruit crops through inability to get the fruit from the orchard to the dryer, or to market. Many of these estimated the loss in the county at not less than half a million. This newspaper cut it in two and made it a quarter of a million. "Complaint was made by numbers of farmers that they were compelled to make two and sometimes three trips to town to see the judge about the least important of matters. Some of them claimed that) they had been in town as high as five different days, and on no one of the occasions were they able to see Judge Robin son. Some of these men Said that they were told by court house officials that Judge Robinson came over from Independence, his home, only two or three times a week. Some of these men wanted merely to report a broken culvert, or something of like nature. Others desired road improve ment, "This newspaper began a collection of statistics regarding the indus trial activities of Dallas. We found that Dallas had a greater industrial pay-roll, for instance, than Albany. Statistics further proved that Dallas has a more productive surrounding country than Albany. Yet Albany has something like three times the population of Dallas. There could be but one reason. Dallas does not en joy the rural trade to which it is entitled. Poor roads account for this, if io certain that Dallas has the '.business houses and the business men to handle the trade. "As the time passed there seemed to be no improvement in the roads. The main roads in almost all direc tions became negotiable by automo bile only by abuse of the machines. Some of them are now impassable. This is true of the Pedee road, from which direction this business concern m other houses in Dallas get much trade. Kings Valley, on beyond, wants to trade at Dallas, but is not furnished the road. Another outcry came from the Ballston direc tion. Farmer after farmer in that territory told us they would be com pelled to transfer their banking ac count to Sheridan because it was practically impossible to reach Dallas. Many of them did this very tnmg. "We could go on and on, like Tennyson's brook, relating reas ons for our course in this matter. But we believe that one thing has justified everything ;that we have said and done. It is that we firmly believe that more road work has been done in the past sixty days, since the recall agitation was start ed, than was performed in ten times that, period just previously. "If, in view of all the facts, you are satisfied with the road service that Judge Robinson has been giving you, vote for him at the recall elec tion. We recognize the fact that every man is entitled to his opinion, even though some of the opposition declines to grant us the same privi lege. If you would like to have conditions improved those in favor of the recall believe they have sub mitted a candidate who will bring to the office an executive ability that will straighten out the tangles and create a real road program in Polk county. His name is J. F. Ulrich, he lives at Aiiiie, and if elected ...;n rioiiao nnd make his WllA IIIUVC IA home here during his term offic.Q. "In conclusion, jufet a word to the alleged poor showing representation at the convention, we desire to say that it was the purpose of The Observer to have a free ta Tnimtarv expression of sen- timpnt. and no effort, other than that made through the newspaper, was indulged in to secure delegates. t ts trno that manv precincts that had reported an intention to send delegates did not do so, lor a variety of reasons, but in the lan guage of one of the speakers at the convention those in favor of the recall are still of the opinion that a majority of the voters of the county are in favor of a change in ,the office of county judge be lieving that such change will result in great good to the entire county. "The campaign ' has now passed into the hands of a committee, of which the editor is not a member, and the policy and pronouncements in the future will be made by such committee.'' WHOLE WORLD CRAVES MUSIC Longing for Sweet Sounds Would Seem to Indicate That the Na tions Are Recovering. That nations are individuals In min iature has been proven so often that It has long ago become a truism; but perhaps It has never been Indicated more effectively than In the present attitude of the nations of war-shattered Europe toward music. From England, France, Belgium and Italy, not less than from Germany, Austria and even Russia, comes the same story through the mouths of trustworthy ob servers returning to this country, as well as through other news channels. "Europe Is mad for music," they all say. "No other words will describe the craving that has seized these coun tries for all its forms." There are tragedies which at their criielest take from the Individual all solace, not to mention any delight. In the .loveliest of arts. "I shall hate sweet music my whole life' long," wrote Swinburne in the bitterness of disillusionment, and happy Is that human being who bus not at least once In bis life touched the supreme height of agony when to hear music is an unbearable thing. But as with man so with countries In which disillusionment, far worse tnan bereavement, has yet followed dose on its footsteps. One of the first signs of an ability to take up life once more In healthy humnn fashion, is a returning willingness, even a, longing, for the joys of music. And when the flower of charity blooms once more in the soul laid waste by hatred, mu sic is not far off. In races as in Indi viduals. Montreal Herald. WON LOVE OF POPULACE But First Bullfight Must Have Been Trying to Nerves of Young Queen of Spain. When Queen Victoria of Spain was married to Alphonso one of the fea tures of the weddng festivities was a bullfight. The bullfight to Spain is far more important than the baseball gnme of the United States s to Its citizens, and the very life and soul of the people is woven into its traditions. The queen, a pretty, young, protected English girl whose viewpoint of life wns the same as otheij young girls of the higher classes of England, was privately informed that not only must she nttend the fight, but under no cir cumstances must she exhibit fear or disgust. The fight was staged with the ut most magnificence and was opened by the entry of two fiery black bulls. The first bull killed a horse or two before it was put to death. The second bull was then driven about, tortured nnd abused, and finally lured directly in front of the royal box, where a poor old decrepit horse, blindfolded and drugged until it was hardly able to stand, was left. The bull, stabbed with a spear, charged the horse, driv ing Its horns ngaliuand again into the wretched beast until it fell, a mass of horror, to the ground. The queen did not change color or flinch, although she must have been sick to the point of fainting. The populace greeted her calm with cheers. Student's Bookcase. An excellent bookcase for students Is made In the following way: Pro cure for shelves four smooth boards, 20 Inches long and 10 inches wide, and about two-thirds Inch thick. Screw a slat on to the extreme ends of the sides of the shelves to accom modate the text-books. Screw the other slats to the shelves one and one-hnlf inches apart. This will leave an open space of seven Inches in the middle of each shelf. ' There are no slats on the ends of the shelves. Take the long screw from the top of a dis carded piano stool and fasten It to the center of the under side of the lowest shelf. Screw the bookcase into the piano stool. The revolving book case may be stained to match the stu dent's furniture. Kissing to Cure. "Come to mother, dear, she'll kiss It and make It better." Isn't this the regular thing when a child sustains an injury, real or Imagined? Little do they realize, these Indulg ing mothers and husbands, that In this mock ministration they are but imi tating the practice of old time sorcer ers who pretended to cure diseases by sucking the affected part In their superstitious, myth-tenanted age they found the people easy prey to their im positions, but today even the baby is skeptical of the curative powers of a kiss on a bruised kneel Quaint Industries. Observation of the world's industri als reveals some very quaint callings, for there are queer habits and strange desires on the part of various races, and always there are those who cater to those customs or undertake to sup ply the wants. As queer a trade or profession as any la that of "tooth stalner," which flourishes in parts of Asia, where the natives regard black teeth as a crowning beauty. The tooth stalner, equipped with little brushes and boxes of coloring matter, calls on his customers at regular Intervals. In general, the operation Is not unlike that of blacking a shoe.
