At Norris <1ty, BL. them la a tree known as the “vaulting pole rollon- wood" that hns an lnf»*r»-«’tr.g history which Is told by the American For estry Magnxtne (Washington) as fol lows: llosea tierce end a boy comrade re tnmsd from the war of 1812 to tbetr bowra. near Norris flty. In the spring of IfflA amt on January H of that year they hut hclt-ed Getiern! Jack- anti whip the British in the Battle of New Orleans. Th*-»»- t*»ivs both nltimded a to« rolling on the old IM erm farm flint spring and as they were mt’irnlng tn the house after their day's wort made a wag»-r who could vault the furth«'»t. using their cottonwood handspikes as vaulting poles. Tlu-y both left their handspikes sticking In th« soft earth where they had vaulted, and duHtg: the spring rains of 1818 they both took root am! lived. Otte of these tree« died about ten years ago. but the other Is still living This tree I« amt Is 106 years old about thirty feet In circumference. 178 feet high, with a very large hollow In th« ban« of the tree which has been u«<*d as a housing for setting hens, a kennel for dogs and Is always a fin»' play bouse for children. CLOUDS ARE EARTH'S VEIL If Been From th« Moon Thay Would Appear aa Mere Film Separating th« Earth. The layer of cloud covering the earth Is relatively very thin tf. f**r example, w« could examine the earth fr»*tn the moon we would doubtless see k veil of cloud covering little more than half th»* surface. At that distance the Clouds would have no texture, the »Mirth would appear swathed In an lrr»-ctilar sheet of formless up«, through which, from time tn time, the land and water areas could lie Been. The cloud cover of the earth la moot attenuated; It may be compared to a film, for It la suppose»! to be lean than one eight hundredth of the »Mirth's di ameter In vertical thickness. Th« thlnnvoe of th« earth's atmos phere may be m**re clearly com pre- bended tf we realise that the relative thlckiiena of the cloud layer on an eight Inch terrestrial glotw would be about one-hundredth of an inch.

Bnyhon»l ilars without a hayloft •r« like a play without a stag«. Tb« auto mobile has vanquished the big m»l barn, a« the cement bottoturd pool has the old swimming pool. The center of boyhood life has diaeappramd. Im agine the gang sneaking off from trust ing parents on a hot afternoon and congregating in the shiny new garaca. Where can they conceal the forbidden weapons, or the thuml»-marked yellow back that mother thinks has long alnca fallen Into the ash heap? Where da they hide to escape the starched shirt and stiff shoes and the party? Where are the circuses given? The train rob- bertea planned? And th« hair-raising stories repeated? The carefree scene« of b»*yb****»l Ilf« has dl*»app»*ar*-*! ln> no field to grow and expand tn. Half t’l* joy« of youth have vanished with the passing of the old red barn.

As the matter stands, tho Innocent looking radium dial doe« not seem tn po«»< aa any extraordinary amount of cooc-ntratcd energy, but this is only apparently the case, and not actually so, for the reason that while the amount of activity manifested by the radium |>alnl on the dial is small, this effort will keep up for 2/s»> years, provides! the line sulphide. with which Ibe radium la mixed an ns to pro»luce a glow, bolds out that long.
