An oasis In the bine expanse of the Indian Ocean Is the Keeling island group, built Inch upon Inch of coral. From far out at sea the ragged outline of the Islands' coconut palms can be seen, now In forestlike thickness, and again one tall, solitary palm silhou etted on the sky. Many times Hits is all that the ship's passengers see of the Islands, for only when the winds are low can n ship put In at the harbor. Ordinarily, heavy winds send the waves crashing against reef and beach and make the Islands a danger zone Instead of a haven c5 mariners. Parts of the Islands are thick with matted underground, but below It all is the coral foundation In the form of sand and reefs of wonderful spreading formations. The shapes of the coral growth are fascinating In their variety. Little Imagination is needed to see tn them toadstools, oak trees, leaves and snow crystals. Some are solid rock, while others are as delicate as the out shoots of bursting fireworks. The col ors, too, are like fading fireworks that leave only a suggestion of yellow, green and rose. In contrast to the paleness of the coral reefs, the Inhabitants of the pools and sea dazzle the onlooker with their scales of vivid red and green flashing through the clear water. Swordflsh and sharks make fishing and swimming hazardous. The air Is fanned by great flocks of birds of the eastern tropics who might easily claim ownership of the islands by reason of discovery by their ances tors. The birds long ago found the Islands ideal for nesting and time has enlarged the colony, for there are few human beings to dtsturb the feathered owners. Chicago Dally News.

It Is curious to note with what per sistency people will adhere to current Ideas without ever thinking that these Ideas do not, under ull circumstances, denote one and the same thing. As a matter of fact, the maximum heat Is "between" North nnd South viz, along the equator, and It is as cold at the South Pole as at the North Pole. Also the words North and South are as relu tlve terms as East and West, nnd do not, to everyone, convey the same Idea, To make this clear, let us suppose that A stands at the North Pole and, turning In the direction of the "untry from which he came, feels the wind blowing In his face. He would, of course, claim that this wind was south erly, and nobody would dare contradict Farmers Help Finance the War by the ex pansion of your credit in a safe way Trade Acceptance Paper The Trade Acceptance works to our mutual advantage.

Why Children Should Be Encouraged to Take Part in Exercises of Juvenile Glee Clubs. Anyone who has watched a Closs of schoolchildren singing their songs to gether, or the members of a juvenile glee club raising their voices In mel ody, knows to how great an extent chil dren enjoy expressing themselves mu sically. It Is perhaps one of the few times when they begin to gut an ap preciation of what concerted action means lu creating strength and power both for the Individual as well as the group. You seldom get a child to stand up and sing alone, but pluce him among a large group of children and note the change In him the change In bis expression, bis bearing and bis whole attitude, It Is therefore a cause for much en couragement to hear the news that peo ple are growing Interested In commu nity choruses for children. The move ment for grownups has become wide spread and Its good results have been appreciated by all who buve taken an active part In it. The question natur ally arises, then, wby wait until a per son is grown up before you let him take part in that which undeniably la beneficial to him? Why not give the child an opportunity to musically ex press himself before he has grown too self-conscious to do It freely) and Importance Of It ore little under-, rttood by persons outside of the regions In which It Is carried on. While the bureau conserves fish, propagates and distributes fish and labors to educate mankind on the subject of fish, It also rescues fish. In times of flood, when streams and rivers swell beyond their banks and overflow wide stretches of land, myriads of valuable food fish ure carried along with the water. The flood passes, the rivers subside Into their normal courses and the fish are left Inland to perish as the flood-water evaporates or seeps Into the land. Gangs of men under the guidance of the fisheries bureau gather the fish from these overflow lakes, which are often of great extent, and cast them loose iu the streams or rivers. Somewhat Expensive Err;r. A large steamer was once wrecked because one of the sailors was named West. The vessel was outward bound from Rotterdam, nnd the sailor waB on deck polishing some brasswork. Suddenly the cuptaln culled him, and told him to go below. The second officer on the bridge heard the enptato call out the man's name, and thought It was an order to change the course of the ves sel to the nest. He did so, and the result was that the vessel ran onto a dangerous shoul. Thut name cost the owners of the vessel the sum of $500,-000. Writer Says Famous Building Ex presses Mere Beauty, Without Any Sense of Power or Vigor. The Alhambra Is on the shoulder of a mountain. It overlooks the town, Bart Kennedy writes tn the Wide World. It was built by the Moors, and I take It that It was built overlooking the town for the usual reason. The ruling Moors lived therein and they wished to be in a position to give the nonrullng Moors "what for" when they became too critical. There is a lot of human nature In ruling people Just as there Is In ruled people. A beautiful place, this Alhambra. But to mo its architecture expressed decadence nnd wenkness. There was nothing strong or massive about It. Whether a race expresses truly It? character In archi tecture or not Is not for me to say. To be able to give a reliable opinion as to this would necessitate the living of a life that lasted through a couple of thousand years. But certainly the Al hambra did not suggest power and vigor. Beauty, yes, and also fancy, but nothing more. But on the Cuesta de los Muertos (the hill of the dead), which was out side the actual palace of the Alham bra, were three massive square towers. They expressed strength. In them had lived centuries before the Moham medun soldiers of the guard. These towers Impressed me and I often went to see them in the moonlight, for then there seemed to be in their strength and power some weird effect. HELD HIS ART ABOVE ALLU Pension Could Not Induce Beethoven -to Play for Emperor or Dukes. Betttna von Arnlm visited Beethoven in the year KrO, and wrote a letter describing the event In August of that year. It has recently been published, observes an exchange. Very different from her correspondence with Goethe, when It Is a question whether the lady is indulging in fact or fiction, this letter about Beethoven is serious In tone. ,. Beethoven had a "so-called prida that prevents him playing for the em peror and the dukes, who have in vain given him a pension; and It Is the rarest thing In all Vienna to hear him play," she says. But he consents to play for her when she tells him tt would be the Joy of her life to hear him. He "seated himself at the piano, on the edge of a chair, playing softly with one hand, as though trying to overcome his aversion to being heard. Suddenly he had forgotten his sur roundlags and his thought expanded Into an ocean of harmony," She goes on! "I got to like this man tremendously. In everything that hns to do with his art he la so com manding and truthful that no artist dares to approach him." Why Paper Turna Yellow With Age. It il a well-known fact that paper exposed to light will become yellow Ish Within a comparatively short time; and even when kept In storage where) light does not reach it, It will undergo gradual deterioration. Investigations by Doctor Klemm demonstrated that these changes are due maluly to the presence In the paper of mechanical wood-pulp or llgnified fiber, although they are met with also In paper col ored with dyes that fade under ex posure to light. In wood-free papers the fading Is found to be duo to a for mation of soaplike compounds of Iron with rosin aud fatty substances. Tha greater the amount of these com pounds present, the more marked the yellowing of the paper. A mixture of ether (two part) and alcohol (one part) will remove the soaplike matter, Popular Science Monthly, tine any irt a Southern cui'ip on? or the negro soldiers was showing me a service pin with three stnrs which he always carried In Mr pocket.

At one time the general use of canes or walking stlcka was forbidden In Rome by Imperial edict, except to per sons of patrician rank, thus making It a privilege which came to be popular among the nobility and eventually a distinction. The women of that time carried them also, their richly and ar tistically decorated canes serving as a rod for punishment of their slaves. The cane appeared In England aa the badge of aristocracy in about the fifth century, but after serving this purpose for some time came Into the hands of the humbler classes and was dropped by those of higher social standing. It was re-established to Its true form by the pilgrims and soldiers returning from the Holy Land during the Crusades, and soon came Into pop ularity again. Matter of "Two Evils.'' A Londoner whose business Is coaching stage aspirants tells this one: "One day my work was interrupted by a weak-feutured but ratber pretty girl of about eighteen. She was taste fully dressed, but had obviously been crying. She said she was wishful to adopt the profession of the stage. Hud she ever played lu amateur produc tions? No. Were her parents pre pared to pay the fees? She hod neither father nor mother. "Well, what are you?" he Inquired. Then she sobbed. She wub a housemaid In the service ot a'crochety old lady. When the pro fessor advised ber to return to her mistress, she exclaimed : "I can't bear 'it l I'd sooner go on the stage than stand her any longer."
