Development of Child Told by Wrist Bonet A home's teeth tell Ills ae; a child's wrist bone! Incllmte Ills, liy means of X-ray ihiitugrui)ia one ran tell how old a child la ur. more Important, whether he la properly developed for hia years. At one year of age a child has two bones In the wrist ; at five he nas six; at fourteen be litis eight. Thus he has what scientists call an anatomical age. Girls are usually In advance of Doya In their auutomiral develop ment at any given age, snys a high authority of tlis Iowa child welfare research station in Iljgeia,. henllh magazine published by the Ameri can Medical association. As fur as height and weight meas urements are concerned, girls ure approximately us heavy as hoys for their respective heights, hut are shorter und lighter at each ui:e. They are more variable In growth than boys. The authority, a physician, has drawn his conclusions from thou sands of repeuted physical measure ment! on nude children, and his tables giving the average weight of boys and girls for each huh In height from every age from five to nineteen nre snld to be the most accurate tables for American-bora children.

Farther north, In the Transvaal, we get actual money, In the shape of home-made wire, with a rough knob on the end. Farther est In the l'ingo, we find Il-shaped cop. per plates used as money. On Die Unner (Vmirn we find imiititirtn swords serving the purpose, while lower down on the Stanley falls we nwi the ax blade. (In ninny South African tribes we iret the in... so used.) In Hlerra Leone we get an amusing Imitation knife .blade; one end Is thin and twisted, the other widened to two nnlnis The lia.Songo and ItnNkutu on die On go use throwing knives. Field's Tribute to Riley Among the finest tributes which one man of genius has paid to an other Is that of Eugene Field to his friend and brother poet, James Whltcomb Itlley. He nut It In the language of an Indiana villager, and the essence of It was this para graph : "Itlley has got true genius: can't call It anything else. When he was born fiod give him the tongues of men and of angels, and threw In charity for good meusure. There hain't no Shnkesiienre business about him, nor no Kyron. Jim Is a straightaway poet, and his pieces are as full of honey and dew as the flower the hunimln' bird plays ! tag with In the cool sunlight of an ! early summer morning. You don't nave to have anybody tell you what Jim means In them pieces; there hain't no need of footnotes and there hain't no disputed piissiig.-s. It Is all plain music from tl. ord go, and thai the kind of music a feller's heart loves to dunce to." Happiness and Hard Work Happiness, I have discovered. Is nearly always a rebound from hard work. It is one of the follies of men to Imagine that they. can en Joy mere thought, or emotion, or sentiment. As well try to eat beauty! Kor happiness' must be tricked I She loves to nee men at work. She loves sweat, weari ness, self-sacrifice. She will he found, not in palaces, but lurking In cornfields and factories and hov ering over Uttered desks, she crowns the unconscious head of the busy child. If you look up suddenly from hard work you will see her, but If you look loo long she fades sorrowfully away. From "Adventures In Contentment," by David Grayson. Not Unlucky for All The number thirteen hardly de serves Its black reputation, which It has had ever since there were thirteen nt the Last Supper at which Our Lord was betrayed. Hence the firm conviction thai If this number alt down to table one of them will shortly afterwards die. The fact of the mutter Is, as as trologlsts tell us, that thirteen is only unlucky to certain people. On others It has no more potent effect than any other number, while a few people declnre that It always brings them good fortune. Birthplace of Liberty The so-called "Tennis Court Onth," derived Its name from the tennis courts at Versall'cs, where members of the National assembly Now is the time to order your COAL for your winter needs TUM-A-LUM LUMBER CO.

Chester White JournuL National Hero Just Small Boy to Mother A Dutch salvage firm Is scouring Hie bottom of the Caribbean sea looking for a pHrt of the treasure that went to the bottom In the Seventeenth century when I'let Hein, admiral of the Dutch fleet, apt ii red eight Spanish galleons loaded with sliver and sank five ot hers. When Plot Heln captured the Spanish "sliver fleet," the power of the Dutch republic had already started on ik decline, I'ierre Van I'aassen tells us, In the Atlanta Constitution. The news of the ad miral's victory therefore sent the country Into frenzies of enthusi asm. When he arrived at Hot terdam, members of the govern ment were on hand to greet him and the aristocracy of Am sterdam nnd Haarlem In luce and cloth cheered Itself hoarse at the sight of the popular young ad miral. All Holland was In gala. Hut when the admlrul ap proached the little cottage In Delftslmven where his mother lived and he rapped on the door there was a voice: "Is that vou, I'let?" "Yes, mother." "Then wipe your feet on the mat, my boy. It's a little muddy outside toduy." Beaver in Real Wilds FeW IllllceS now avlat u'hoMi beavers may he seen living wild, in natural surroundings In Europe. Forty years ago, the Inst one dls- ippeared from Scandinavia, when they lingered longest near Arendal, j In southern Norway. A correspond ; ent of the Field report! that ' small, but thriving and Increaslni colony of these animals now ex ist! in the same region (at Nlel ' Elve), In a very Inaccessible pert ! of the country, no human dwelling ' anywhere near, and the ground covered with thick undergrowth and tree! of birch, aspen and pine. No Indication of their origin li given, and it seems possible that i small remainder of the old stock haa been hidden here all this time. Cull Beautiful Bird Many feathered scavengers an uncouth, repulsive and awkward In flight, but the herring gull Is a thing of beauty and exceedingly graceful under wing, a master of the air currents, gliding with per fection. He soars over the city, follows the river craft, perches upon the channel buoys, and may often he found In flocks resting upon the waters of Inland ponds and reservoirs. Unlike other wa ter birds, he Is not shy ; on the contrary, he is very friendly, per haps because he has few enemies, and Is protected not only In the harbors but in the breeding rookeries. Freakish Trees An explorer In the forests of northern India has found a tree that gives an electric fliock to any one who touches It. The Intensity of the shock varies with the time of day, the current being at Its strong est at 2 p. m. Few people realize the extraordi nary properties with which nature has endowed some trees. In Nubia, for example, there la a tree, the sofar, that plays tunes, a startling effect due to the boring of numerous Insects at the base of the young shoots. The wind, playing through the tiny apertures, produces a series of flute-like notes. A Canadian prairie tree, knAwn as the compass tree, is an infalli ble guide to travelers, the edges of its leaves always pointing north and south. In Arizona there is a tree which, on being touched, actually ruffles Its leaves and tries to scare off the In truder by emitting a sickening odor.
