’ , - _ ._ . . _ ■- — -■ _ L - - -■ - ’ Mabe Annual "Roundup of Wild Island Ponies There are many stories to account for the wild ponies on Chincoteague and Assoteague mid some oilier Islands off the Virginia coast, but (here seems to be nothing of an nilthoritntive nature io explain lheir presence. Some of the ponies oft the Virginia coast have never seen u human and nre xery wild. The* largest ponies measure about 13 hands high, am* because their principal habitat Is Chincoreague Island—a strip of land about nine miles long by a mile and a half wide —they are often referred to as Chincoteague ponies. (jpe of the stories concerns a Spaiiv Ish nobleman who undertook to take advantage of the opportunities offered in the New world for horse breeding. He started over with u herd of t.he animals, but on the way the vessel was wrecked and he was lost, although some of the animals managed to find their way to the shore of Chincoteague. This story is corroborated to some extent by the Indian legend concerning the origin of the animals at this point. Though the animals run wild, they are not public property, for they nre owned by the persons who own the islands, mid there is a round-up every year, when some of the animals are conveyed to the mainland and sold. Animals Make Little Response to Pictures During tests made in Berlin by Dr Victor Mendel, animals and birds showed a rather surprising luck of response to moving pictures. The pictures were especially selected for earn animal and animal group, and the experiments were made in mi exhibition room especially adapted to the purpose. The of dogs was practically nil. Neither St. Bernard, setter, spaniel, poodle nor collie gave the slightest attention to the pictures Only a little mongrel of doubtful ori gin evinced a momentary interest.by sniffing at the human figures th? screen. The experiments wilt cat.were much more favorable. Os live subjects, three responded litively showing tight on tiie appear.lime of s big dog on the screen. Experimentwith birds were rather negati'-e. Gees and ducks, chickens and pigcoi s paid some attention, while owis showed great interest. Small birds «ml barn yard fowl showed anxiety when ■, hawk appeared in their line of vision A squirrel displayed interest when n weasel made its appearmii e <> i th« screen, but reptiles and lisii v.ere, amight have been expectixi, quite in different. Fez Is Disappearing Tiie red cap worn by Turkish me: received its name from Fez, a ci:y i: Motoeeo, where such capi were 1> t imide. Fez was long a seat of Arabia: learning in Africa and is stiil n-gardei us a sacred city of Islam. Until re cent times the city had a mmmpoly of the manufacture of Fez caps, it be ing supposed that tiie dye which give.' die caps their dull crimson hue coub not be obtained elsewhere. This <ly» is made of a berry which grows in pirn fusion in the vichiily of Fez. The 0 is made brimless to allo?.’ (he w. arei to bow his forehead to He carpet while praying in the mos, ; , : ■. form of headgear, however, i fast losing its place in the tia’.lorml cos fume of Turkey. — Expression Is Old “Faying through tl:e nose’’ minuet' IHiy a fancy price for u thing—to pa.', more than it is worth—no get : e.uig The origin of the expression is lost ii obscurity. There was a legend tlmt Odin, the Norse god, imposed a t :x re sembling the modern poll tax. Ii: Sweden it was culled a nose tax. Im cause it was a penny a nose. In de fault of payment the nose was sup posed to be the forfeit. ’Taylns through the nose" may have original' i with this myth. The French have a similar phrase—“payer par le i;ez. ”~ Pathfinder Magazine. Feed Through Roots Hoots anchor the trees te th ground, absorb water from the soil and transport water to the stem, saythe American Tree association. With out roots, trees could not stand n;> and without roots trees would starve for they supply water and food tn i!sstem, branches, twigs, leaves m: other parts of th<* crown. The prii. cipul work of the big root* ne::r tin stein is to help the trees stand »ij> while the line root hairs at the net of the rootlets are the ones that e.b so’-b the water from the soil. Fear Makes Poor. Workers “Employers of vision are fast lean: i ing that workers who fear losing their jobs are not hulf so efficient or orlg ini’l as those who have emancipated tbcintel res from this very human ■ curse," says Helen Woodward, success I fui woman advertising cxecutl.e sol author, in McClure’s Magazine. -’But/ I there arc still a great many who be lieve In making punctual machines of frightened and baffled workers, chrtlned to the prison of u job."

Hard to Get Exact Size of Hailstones Tiie maxinium possible size of a j single hallstone cannot be stated pos Itlvely for the simple reason that there is not always a trained observer on hand to measure every large hallstone which falls. Ilullstonec larger than a person's Hsl and weighing more titan a pound liuve several times been reported on good authority, according to tiie United States weather bureau. During a storm tn Natal in 1874 hailstones fell which weighed u pound and a half. They passed through a corrugated iron roof as If it had been made of paper. Hailstones? 14 inches in circumference fell in New South Wales in February, ISI7. At Cazorla, Spain, on June 1">. 182!*. houses were crushed under blocks of ice, some of which are said to have weighed four and a half pounds. In October, 1814, a hailstorm at Cette, France, wrecked bouses and sank vessels. But these, like all reports dating back many years, must be taken with a grain of salt. '13)0 untrained observer often unconsciously exaggerates. Then, too, some of these reports may refer to cases where masses of ice resulted from the coalescence, after fulling, of a number of smaller hailstones lying closely packed together on the ground. —Pathfinder Magazine. Girl's Father Settled H. C. L. Complication A congressman investigating the high cost of living said to a Washing ton correspondent: "The h. c. 1. is responsible for many vagaries and queer complications. “A young chap who had got engaged to a girl was talking over the future with her. •••WlHT'prices what they are,’ said the girl, ‘we must be content, George dear, with a small flat and one or, ut the most, two servants.’ , “George coughed. I “‘lt’s my idea,' he said, ‘to live with your old man the first couple of years.’ ’• ’But, George—’ • “ ‘That’s my idea.’ he interrupted. 'Think of the money we can save. No rent, no light, no grub bills, no coal.’ “ ‘But—’ “T insist on this thing,' George interrupted again. ’I tell you, I— ’ “Then the door opened softly and tiie girl's father entered tiie room. •’ ’Children,' he said, tenderly, ‘1 bale decided that when you get married I’ll come and live with you for the rest of my life.’'’—Washington Star, *• Blue Laws Banned Pies “The puu))4iitt, or we read Ju I’eteijfi.“Geueval History of Connecticut,” pffbrtAe'd in 1781, “is one of the greatest blessings, and held sacred in New England. Os its meat are made beer, bread, custards, sauce, vinegar and. on thanksgiving days, pies, as a substitute for what tiie blue laws brand as antiChristian minced pies." The same author explains why New Englanders were called pumpkin heads. As every rßale was required to have his hair cut round by a cup, •‘when cups were not to be had, they substituted tiie hard shell of a pumpIfin, which, being put ou tiie- head every Saturday, the hair is cut by flic shell all around the head."—Gas bogie.. «, Appearance of Tornado Tiie chief visible feature of a tornado is a long, whirling cloud, extend ing to or toward the earth As the storm travels along, at about th* speed of an express train in the aver J age care, and in a direction that in most cases is approximately froir' southwest to northeast, tiie zone ot destruction is little if any wider that (lie truck swept by this cloud. Th« width of tiie zone may be only u few rods and is seldom as great as hull, a mile. Its length averugee something i like 25 miles, but is not always cou-! Uniious, as these storms have away of jumping over places along theit' paths and leaving them uuhurmed. Keep Departments Efficient There is in the goveriimetit a bit reau of efficiency, tiie duty of which among others, is to investigate the needs of the several executive depart ! mentc and independent establishment) with respect to personnel und to in vestigate duplications of statistical und other work and methods of bus! ness in the various branches of the government service. There Is also u bureau of co-ordination, which investigates cases in which it is possible to avoid the overlapping of departments. Busy Man at Home Mrs. Fletcher-*Diti you have a bard day ut the office, dear? Fletcher—ln re your -question as to my day at ’tiie office, will say that business matters were ’pressing and that 1 am very tired. Mrs. Fletcher—Wl, dear, dinner is f ready.
