-TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JANUAKY FISH AS A FOOD ORDEAL OF GRAMMAR. Not Nearly Enough of It It Used In Thio Country. How It Camo to Bo Inflicted Upon an Unoffending Public. The world reached its highest known stage of intelligence liefore grammar was even invented, much less studied. I have had some curiosity to find out where and bow so great a blight upon young life first came into l>eirig and why it ever liecame a school study, and I find that the Greeks knew It not; that their triumphant literature and their matchless oratory came to flower l>efore grammar was dreamed of; that it was not in any sense one of the great arts which they wrought out and with which they armed the human race. I find that after Greece bad declined a barbarous Macedonian made himself the owner of all Egypt, and in order to surround himself with the most spec tacular form of ostentation of which his vain mind could conceive he set to collecting not only all the rare and precious objects aud tlooks and manu scripts there were In the world, but he capped it all by making a collection ot the living men of the world who had any reputation anywhere for knowing and thinking. Taking them from tbelr homes where they bud some relation to the daily nei-essitles of human be ings and had really been of some use, he shut them up for life in one of his palaces at Alexandria, which the folks there were in the habit of calling “the hencoop of the muses,” and out of sheer desperation, since they could do nothing better to amuse themselves, they countetl the words In the books which real men had written and pre pared tables of the forms and endings which the users of words employed. The lifeless dregs of books which their distilling left we now call gram mar and study Instead of books and eve? speech itself. In their lowest depth of Indifference to the moving, pulsing life of man not even the Alex andrians sank so low as that.—Ernest C. Moore In Yale Review. The average American eats twenty pounds of fish a year. Tills includes oysters, ciains, crabs, lobster, shrimp aud mussels. Oue dietary authority states, according to Leslie's Weekly, that 200 miles inland from our three coasts the consumption of fish food per jierson is less than a half pound annu ally. Each inhabitant of the British isles has fish on bls bill of fare to the ex tent of 100 pounds every twelve months, while the fish consumption per capita in Germany is 120 pounds; HoL lan<l, 130 pounds; Norway, Sweden and Denmark, 150 pounds; China, 225 pounds, and Japan, nearly 500 pounds. Latin Americans are the only people who eat less fish than du the Inhabit ants of the United States. There is absolutely no sane argument against the larger and more extensive use of fish as a daily diet throughout the length and breadth of this land. It is Ideal as a food. It is highly nutri tious and rich in proteins. It Is must easily digested. It contains in great abundance the chemical ingredients for making bone, muscle and tissue. As a f«x>d nothing detrimental can ¡losslbly tie said against it. Fish, with the excep tion of a few species, are cleun feeders.

Tha Only Real Damage They Do Is When They Invade the Lawn. From an examination of the stomach contents of 200 moles taken in all months of the year it was found by the bureau of biological survey of the Unit ed States department of agriculture that earthworms and white grubs con stitute the bulk of the f od. Beetles aud ttielr larvae and other Insects that enter the ground, spiders, centipedes, cocoons and puparia also form a part of the diet. In one stomach were found the remains of 171 small white grubs, In another 250 ant puparia, in another ten cutworms and in another twelve earthworms. The presence of starchy material in some of the stomachs is proof that the mole occasionally finds vegetable food, as certain seed grains softened by con tact with the moist soil, an acceptable addition to Its worm and insect diet. Beed coats of corn, wheat, oats and peanuts have been identified tn a few stomachs. Judgment against the mole may be rendered when It actually invades the lawn—the overt act—but no general warfare against an Insect eating mam mal should be encouraged. the p< capes •Ueinj oomii it Is com«- or in ITALY’S LEANING TOWERS.

WARREN, 4 The Strangest of Them All Ara the Two In Bologna. Italy is a land of many leauing tow ers. but the tower of Pisa is the best knowu. The strangest of the lean ing lowers, however, are the Torre Asinelli and tlie Torre Garisenda in Bologna, which were erected A. D. 1109 and 1110. The builders intended them for fortified homes, of which Bo logna at one time possessed as many as 200. The gloomy, smooth walled brick towers standing side by side make a strange lmpressiou U[s>n the person who looks up at them from the ground. The Torre Asinelli is 320 feet high and contains a rough staircase of 447 steps. From the summit, which is four feet out of plumb with the base, one has a flue view of the city. The slant is unintentional and was probably caused by the sinking of the founda tions. Torre Garisenda is 163 feet high —sixteen feet lower than the leaning Tower of Pisa—and Is ten feet out of plumb—only three feet less than the Tower of Pisa. When Ottone Garisenda began to build. A. D. 1110. he apparently wanted bls bouse to surpass his neighbor Asl- uelll’s In oddity, and so he intention ally made his tower out of the perpen dicular.

In the old world the art of smelting ores was discovered about 1200 B. C. It has sometimes been suggested that iron tools and weapons may have been made at au earlier period from meteor ites, and recently a considerable amount of evidence In behalf of this hypothesis has been presented by C. F. Zimmer. He has compiled a list of the known lron-contalnlng meteorites, nearly all accumulated within the past century, and he shows from these alone about 250 tons of Iron might be obtained.. Of this amouut more than 99 per cent is malleable, cousistiug of a nickel iron alloy. He also shows by means of a series of Illustrations how easy it Is to detach from the meteorites fragments of Iron suitable for use as tools or Im plements when mounted In bandies. Thus It seems fairly probable that a widespread use may have been made of meteorltic iron in prehistoric times. At the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico the Aztecs bad iron knives and daggers, which, they declared, had been obtained from ilie sky. Moreover, the use of meteorltic iron by Eskimos and American Indians is a matter of recent history.—Scientific American. Getting By. An Indianapolis man, who for the purpose of this story will be called Mr. X., asked a friend, Mr. Y., for the loan of $20.
