Welcome in Denmark
It la a common habit of American
t-c.in to erect a colojuiil "Welcome"
sinn by the rnllu ay stutlnni for the
lnfnrmmloD of tourists. In England
s::il also In America, hundreds of
huiiies hare Inscribed the magic word
on the doormat, where of course, tbe
visitor wipes hla boots. In Denmark,
howerer, there are no electric signs to
bid you welcome, and no house "says
It with doormats," but I venture to
ray that there Is not a town or Til
lage in the country, where It Is not
written on the face of every blue-eyed
Pane that you meet From modern
Kshjerg to ancient Elslnore, from
retlerlkshavn to Moon, every face
seems to say, "We are glad to see you
In our country." And what a country
It Is, In which to take pleasure Id such
a wekftnet Surrounded by the sea
on nearly all sides, a kingdom of Is
lands, lakes and woods. From the.
shelving dunes of Jutland to tha
rugged cliffs of Bornholm, wood-encircled
fjords and roinance-encrusted
castles provide a welcome whose sin
cerity can never be doubted. From
"II .v Kurnpeun Eicorslons," by Edwin
Robert I'etrle.
Declare Birds Are
Insensible to Color
Itavartan sciential! cluim to have
made certain the fact that birds cannot
see culiir, are not affected by It; In
fait. ny color is good with the birds,
even those of bright and gay plumage
having no appreciation of the fact that
they are better dn-ksted than others.
Even the gorgeous display of the
male peacock brings no sensation of
iKwutlful colors to the eyes of other
bird ii bout.
The teat with birds' eyes show, the
S"ii'nt!sts assert, that birds do not look
uMliIng as human being do. that all
flying hirda by day m- pirrvthlng in a
bright, red orange light and are only
sensitive In a slight way to the short
waves of light t!t make blue and vio
let vixihle. Night-flying birds are less
sensitive to colors than those that
make their flight by day, the eyes of all
birds being screened from Intense light
by tiny globules of oil In the retina of
th" eje thut act as color screens. The
Ilnvarian scientists say the Darwin
Idea, that beautiful plumage of birds
Is :i factor in the selection of mates. Is
merely a fanciful theory, poetic and

Lie day an English physiclun, who
loved growing green things, found on
the Island of Trinidad u few tiny
gius-llke plants In a riblmii rntiefleM.
The Englishman, delighted that he
liHd caught nature napping i t d f'wd
out one of her secrets, took the. little
plants to his home garden, and In due
time he discovered that he had sev
eral fine new varieties of sugar rune
One of these new varieties Mrs cur
ried to Hawaii, where It multiplied
mid produced a new race of m'i:r
ciuie that will grow on poor land.
In a handful of years Cuba fairly
won the nickname, 'The Sugar lioui

1 on over the Utah Northern, n
narrow wraiimd track. We unload

miles and ptruck one of the hard

old woman and her k'iH ooinir

bill of fare vaa fat bacon, black
coffee, cold bread, black Ft rap
molasses at. I Hinall potatoes wilh
their jacks t on. We wtnt lo
worK think nir it they could live
that way all the time, we could
stand it awhile.
A pretty 'ood sort of a fellow
I by the name of Mike, filled our
scrapers for us. 1 asked one da
do they live like this in this
jcump all thi time Mike? lie fui.l
;oh no, we are not after living
like this all the trtne. Some Sun
days the old lady peels our pi Ih
toes for us, and uive th" boys a
chaiiKC. 1 t iM him I thought il
a pretty tot livinjr. He naid oh
yis its a little tulf. tmt if Jim
put plenty of it, down your siiirl
collrr it will ket-p away liumser
for 5 or 6 hours, Heum u we run
out of potatoes once since 1 have

for grub, urainand a I. tile rnony)
to ttavel on, and threw our out j
fit together, hooked op and u
bout ready to start, when wi'
hear Mike I oiler, lu-res anothtr!
son of a nun for California. 1 i
came on to the wutfnns and saul
I would like to jio with you bojsj
1 made up my mind that I wu .
ttrttinit tired ot pet-ling small p
tatties myself. I cached my time,1

up and throw his blankets in that
trail wagon and go to hlccp like1
a decent man; pleiity tf hay toj
spread your blankets on. We are
only going out to good gta.-n this
evening. We want to fill up our

said I'm a pretty gt cdbluckaduo
myself mid tomcrrow we will
pull across the reservation to
ward Black foot. He snid he did
not care a cent how black their

have to slape with them.
When we arrived ut Black foot
