No Great Competition
for These Odd Jobs
Although at the present time almost
every profession is overcrowded, theie
are still a few that have only one
follower.
For instance, out of the seven and
a half million people in London there
is only one moss gatherer. Twice n
week this man pushes a borrow to n
spot several miles out of tlie city,
where he gathers his moss, and later
sells it for decorative purposes.
At the last census taken in England
a man stated that he was a walrus
mustache ' collector. The hairs are
used for the purpose of making- tooth
picks, and ns far as is known he is
the only person who follows that pro
fession ;
There is only one lady veterinary
surgeon in England. A British firm
employs a mun whose Job is simply
to strike matches in order to test
them.
Still another of these unusual jobs
Is that of toad breeder. There is one
man who does this, and he sells his
toads t gardeners for the purpose of
destroying insect nests.
Then; is no overcrowding in these
Jobs!
socks, by far the best value offered. The Rollins Hosiery Mills
guarantees this sock to give greater wearing satisfaction than
any other silk sock on the market. If you are not satisfied with
the wear they give you, bring them back and get another pair
or your money. And yet they are not higher than other silk socks.

Natural Pendulum
A giant pendulum, formed by u
strange freak of nature, swings in
Yellowstone National park, not far
from Old Faithful geyser, according
lo the oflk-lal government naturalist
in charge of the lecture and nature
study work of the I'nited States na
tional park service. It consists of the
trunk of a lodge pole pine, suspended
by its top between two other trees of
the same species and swinging by Its
base, so that a mere touch will set
it to swaying. Apparently the tree
fell or was blown over many years
ago, its top becoming lodged in the
tops of Its neighbors, which grew out
nnd surrounded it. sutmorting It se
curely. Subsequently several feet ol
its base rotted away, leaving it sus
pended in midair. One of the pnrk
nature trails hastheen run near this
strange natural grandfather clock, and
tourists are permitted to set it swing
ing.
Language and Life
The one sunremelr" significant fact
In the universe frs, to quote Teabody's
fine paraphrase, 'the transformation
of lunguage into life." The belief
Is one of Immense antiquity, though
onlv of recent years susceotible of
scientific explanation the belief in
the strange bewildering Identity of
sound and life. It has been claimed
that all the visible creation In Its
countless forms has been built up
sound-wise, uuon a system of har
monic vlbratiou that, in the shell, the
fern, the fir-cone, the reptile, the fish,
the bird, the same laws prevail that
govern the stretcnea string, wn an
their barmomc progressions ana "as
sociated wave-lengths."
Explaining Law Term
Barratry Is an old term of Euglish
law, derived from an Italian word
signifying to cheat. Common bar
raty consists In habitually stirring up
or maintaining quarrels or lawsuits.
or in continually disturbing the peace
bv brawls, or in taking or detain
ing possession of property the right to
which is in dispute. Haoituuiiy nreert
iug discord between neighbors Is also
barratry. In marine Insurance and In
contracts relating to shipping general
ly, the term barratry meaus any fraud
or knavery or willful wrongdoing on
th nart of the master of the ship or
tli crew, by which the interests of the
owner are Injured.
