EXPLAINS BIRD'S-EYE MAPLE
Fantastic Growth Really Due to the
Presence of Buds That Grow
Beneath the Bark.
Tho bird's-eye maple Is produced by
casual or abnormal buds which have
their origin under the bark of the
trunk. The llrst buds of that kind
may develop whim the tree is quite
small. They are rarely able to force
their way through the barfi and be
come brunches, but they live many
years Just under the burk, growing In
length as the trunk Increases In size,
but seldom nppcarlng on the outside
of the bark. If one bud dies another
will rise near it and continue the Irri
tation which produces the fantastic
growth known as the bird's eye.
One of the favorite theories regard
ing bird's-eye lias been that snpsuck
ers, by pecking through the bark of
young maples, make scars which pro
duce this ilgure during the succeeding
years. BIrd-pccked hickory often ha
been cited ns an analogous case, but
the effect In tho hickory Is opposite
of tho bird's eye In maple. Tho wood
Is discolored nnd unsightly. Some
have attributed it to the action of
frost, but no such connection exists, It
Is sold.

Noble Daughter of Italy.
I.Ike the wing of n dove across a
red battlefield of horrid curses, the
f,orm of Vlttorla Colonna, noble I to
man lady, glides across the terrible
horizon of Lucretin Borglu. The two,
Lucretin and Vlttorla, had the same
environment of civic and social life In
Rome. Tho one drank lust and cor
ruption; the other pure drops of
heaven. It was tho era of Michael An
gelo. The rising young genius in Rome
was painting the portrait of Vlttorla
Colonna. The portrait Is like a nun
at vespers. Vlttorla Colonna was of
the distinguished Roman family of
great antiquity, tho "Colonnn." She
wus a woman of brilliant parts, n poet
and scholar. Married at nineteen to
tho duke of Aratos, after his death on
the battlefield In the Franco-Italian
wars she remalued a widow the rest
of her life. Her poems, "Rime Spir
itual," have great charm. It, was dur
ing her stay In Rome that she formed
tho passionate attachment to Michael
Angelo that Inspired many of the
great, sculptor's sonnets nnd verses.
She died nt the convent of Snn Sll
vestro, her soul llko n silver dove
winging nwny from tho turbulent six
teenth century. Chlcngo Journal.

ASK any doughboy who was "over there'
and he will tell you that American,
railroads are the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads in England
and France, the best in Europe and in.
other Continental countries and he knows.
i
The part railroads have played in the
development of the United States is beyond
measure.
American railroads have achieved high
standards of public service by far-sighted
and courageous investment of capital, and
by the constant striving of managers and
men for rewards for work well done.
We have the best railroads in the world
,.' i
we must continue to have the best,
But they must grow.
.V."''
A
Tho railways of tho United States ara
more than one third, nearly one half,
of all the railways of the world. They
carry a yearly traffic so much greater
than that of any other country that
there is really n basis for comparison.
Indeed, the traffic of any two nations
may be combined aad still it does net
approach the camaerc af America
borne upon American railways. i

Truth Never Dull.
You say: "Truth Is so dull." I beg
your pardon. Truth Is the only thing
that Is never dull, nnd the only means
by which we enn escnpe from dullness.
Why? Just consider. In all nrt, In nil
science, In all literature, it Is the ob
servation of delicate nuances that
gives Interest, that delivers from con
ventionality, that Insures progress.
Tho conventional person says tho sky
Is blue, and probably pnlnts It so. The
truthful person sees that the sky Is
gray, pink, yellow, inky-black, pale
green, and, no doubt, blue nt certain
times, but not always even then of
tho same unbroken shade of bluo. He
paints or describes It as ho sees it;
ho Is nn artist. . . . Just so it is In
our observntlon of diameter. How
careless, how Inartistic, how unscien
tific we nre in our duily o;", In the
Judgments wo pass upon, In tho Ian
guugo which wo employ In regard to,
one another, and how great would be
our Intellectual as well ns moral gain,
how far moro attractive our conversa
tion, If we tried to cure ourselves.
