A HAT is the kind of increase in salary 1 the minister has received. His living '“ a ‘ expenses have risen just as fuel and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. The Minister Never Fails You Every officer of the Government with a war me. c • age to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 80 c /o of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family. When hospitals need money they enlist the supp'. i t i the ministers—and receive it. But when sickness visits the minister or the merr.b. : . c f his family they must be treated in a char11} . ‘d.

REVEMGE THAT WAS COSTLY

Australian Farmer's Fancy Method of Pest Destruction Could Hardly Bs Called a Success-. A former living near Roree Greek, New Soutli Wales, was greatly annoyed tiy the depredations of a hawk, which almost daily look toll among his chickens. Finally, after a good dead of trouble. he succeeded in trapping the bird alive, and. smarting under his losses, resolved upon a really elaborate revenge. I’roeurlng a supply of "gell" (explosive), he fastened It to the unfortunate hawk's leg and attached a lung fuse to it. Then, having lit the fuse, he released the bird and waited for It to fly Into the air to nttnihiiation. However, the trick fulled to work. Somewhat dazed, no doubt, by the rough handling it had received, the hawk obstinately refused to move from n position near the door of the “humpy.” With the fuse sputtering fleroely, the furmer began to get uneasy, and he did all In his. power to scare this "feathered mine” away, but at first with little success. Finally it rose In the air—but only to settle on his roof, near the chimney. Shouting and bombardment with stones and sticks alike failed to move it from this position, and with the perspiration streaming down his face and his hair beginning to stand on end the farmer was ultimately obliged to take to his heels for his own safety. The bird sat doggedly on the roof till the end came; then the luckless squatter, looking back, saw roof, chimney and hawk go up in one terrific explos'on. He has now sworn off all fancy methods of pest destruction.—Wide World Magazine.

ITS •‘CULTURE - ’ A TRADITION "Highbrow" City of Bogota, in ColomDia, Does Not ResJly Live Up to Its Reputation. Bogota, the capital of the Iteputdlo of Colombia, is a sort of South American Boston. Ever since the days when it was a colony of Spain it lias been accounted n “highbrow" town and its name has been associated with literature. art. science and education. It Is filled with sculpture, which ranges j In subject from local heroes to great figures in Spanish history. There are nmny schools ami colleges, a museum and an astronomical observatory. Hesplte all this, the intellectual atmosphere of Bogota is more of a tradition than a reality. No great works of art have been produced there. The eity is full of poets, hut that is true of every city in Latin America, where young men and women compose and recite poetry as a social diversion, just us they play the piano and sing songs in lids country. The scientists of Bogota have made some real progress. especially in archeology and lint-

urn I history.

Many of the people of Bogota are Spaniards of the purest descent. When the country was colonized by the Spaniards centuries ago the colonists retired to the high Andean region and have lived there ever since in an isola-

African Natives Conduct Vehicles ! Along Jungle Track* After Short Term of Apprenticeship. It Is natural that since automobiles have found their way Into every part | of the world, the drivers would vary ‘ in appearance, and in attire or lack of : attire, according to the customs of the | countries In which the motor car Is I called to do service. If you were to ] walk along the road lending from the west coast of equatorial Africa several hundred miles into the Interior, for Instance, vou might see a motor truck, plowing through the Jungle, and in the chauffeur's seat, driving with peculiar anti cheerful abandon, would be a west African native. And from the appearance of h!s driver's uniform, it would he evident that the high cost of clothing would bother him not one whit. These natives become fullfledged elianffeiirs within three or four weeks from the time they see their first iiiolor vehicle. The trucks, of which there are nhout 200, maintain regular schedules as feeders to a large steamship line plying between west African ports and Europe and America. They are loaded with men and supplies on the Inland trips, and with cocoa products, palm oil. hides, and rubber bound for the coast. Parasite Spreads Disease.

WHAT GIVES SKY BLUE TINT Simple Explanation of Matter to Which Probably Few Have Given Much Attention. Not one person In a hundred could give a satisfactory answer to the question, Why is the sky blue? And yet the explanation, as given by Professor W. H. Bragg, tit the British Uoyal Institution, is quite simple. The blue sky, he explained, is due to the interception of particles in the atmosphere of the blue rays whieli form a part of the white light of the sun. The parts of white light conveyed b' longer red and yellow light waves manage to jump the many stilistntices in the atmosphere and are j seen at sunrise and sunset. The professor illustrated Ids meaning by showing a disc of light on the screen which, passing through n howl of water, became gradually redder as tile water got cloudier, til! at last, after an imitation of the sun in a November fog, if faded away. Professor Bragg has also revealed some of the mysteries of sound. If you put a stick in a revolving howl of water. It sets up little whirlpools behind it. In the same way the wind rushing past trees forms whirlwinds on a small scale, and these cause those sounds so admirably described by the imitative word “soughing.” Similar sounds are set up by telegraph wires.

Many people go no further back than to the well known play to account for the interesting little ejaculation, “Let George Do It."

Tradition and Superstition. The moon, of course, is the sourcu. or reason, or what you will, of many superstitions.

Frankly, we do not know the reason of this fear. In the roar- • of a busy and. we trust, useful life we ! have never hnppi'ned to bear the rea | son. But It Is well to assume that there Is one. Tradition is Interesting; superstition Is common. Perhaps we have too few traditions In this country and too many superstitions.

Tides in the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy Is noted for Its high tides. At the head of tile hay a rise of 02 feet Is known, and in I'assnmaqnoddy hay, which Intjenls New Brunswick near the border of the state of Maine, a rise of 25 feet Is not tin common. At St. John the rise varies from 20 to 27 feet. At Moncton the tide rushes up the estuary a crest or wave of water from 3 to fi feet high \t most places the tide rises gradually, but not slowly, each wave rolling up on the shore a little higher Minn the preceding one. There are two high tides in • 24 hours. For Instance, say at 11 ’ >ck In the forenoon and 10 at nigh; rml on the following day the two high tides will lie one hour later, and so on.
