Plea ror Statues of , Creations of Authors The citizens of Auch, the ancient capital of Gascony, }'l:\'»'e‘>le,cided to erect a statue to D’Artagnan, herq of Alexandre Dumas’ “The Three Musketeers” and “Twenty Years After.” In reality, of course, it is much more than a statue to D’Artagnan, who never existed for the world until Dumas called him into being. It is more than a statue to Charles de Baatz Castlemore, the original of Dumas’ hero, who was born not far from Auch. It is really a statue to Dumas and the human imagination. . Ha Everything that has made D’Artagnan memorable and international came from a great maker of romsances— D’Artagnan is one of the many creations of poets and writers.that have become more real than real men. It is always a fine thing to see recogniticn of such, the New York Sun commenis. Thére might even be more statues to great characters of literature and fewer statues to little characters of ‘‘real” life. While there is no harm in remembering a man whe leaves a fountain or a park to a village, the men who have left Qdysseus, Hamlet, Falstaff, Faust, Jean Valjean and Nalty Bumppo are, after all;, the more deserving. - o

Refused to “Fall” for “ Bishop’s Second Scheme . A western minister tells a story, according to the Kansas City Star, showing how a bishop, accosted in a Chicago street by a neat but hungry stranger, derived profit from the encounter., : ! Now the bishop took a fancy to the needy one, took him to a hotel and shared a good dinner with him. Yet, having left his eplscopal wallet in the pocket -of a different episcopal jacket, he suddenly faced the embarrassment of not having the wherewithal to pay for the dinner. “Never mind,” exclaimed the guest, *I have enjoyved dining with yß'u, and 1 shall .be charmed to pay the price. Allow me.” : And the stranger paid for the two. This worried the prelate, who insisted: “Just let me call a taxi and we’ll run up to my place, where 1 shall have the pleasure of reimbursing you.” But the stranger met the suggestion with: “See here, old man! You've stuck me for a bully good dinner, but hanged if T am going to let you stick me for taxi fare!”

Ebony Mehtioned in Bible The deep black heartwood, which is most highly prized in a number of trees of the ebony family, is mentioned: in the Bible in Ezekiel 27:15, in connectlon with ivory, probably on account of their value and of their contrasting colors. Ebony was once supposed to grow in the ground “without root or leaves” and .to it. were ascribed, many miraculous ‘powers. The chief source of the ebony wood is the Island of Ceylon, where huge logs of the pure heartwood are cut and hauled to the coast. For intertor decorations and furniture eb’oriy has been superseded by rosewood and mahogany, but for cabinet work it {§,still widely employed, being exported from Madagascar, - Jamaica; India and Egypt. A species of the ebony tree which is used as a veneer also grows in the southern United States.—Washington Star. : :

Modern Noal’s Ark

Barro Colorado island was formed when the valleys about it were flooded by the impounding of the waters of the Chagres river to form Gatun lake, says the Detroit News. It resembles Noah’s ark in that there gathered as the waters rose nearly every form of animal life in the vicinity, seeking escape from the rising flood. . Despite that tt-is only two miles from the.Panama river, it has been found to harbor d@nphibians of new and strange habits as yet unstudied and Innumerable species of. ins@'ets never described,” as Vell as many strange and’exotic plants, numbering 2,000 ‘or more. It abounds with anteaters, sloths, armadillos, peccaries, tapir, .agoutis, coatis, the ocelot, the Jaguar, many specles of bat, menkeys of varlous kinds and the famous black howlers. . 3 -

Cameon Cutting Hard Work Much skiil is ‘exercised hy the expert cameo cutter. He can only work at his task for a few hours at a time, because of nerve strain. A quavering hand may be responsible for the single stroke which will spoil a week’s work. He must have an eye like a miecroscope, and a very delicate touch; he must be an artist in soul, and as skillful a craftsman as is a watchmaker; j he must know how to model and draw, and he must have a knowledge of | chemistry, so as to remove offending spots.. The work is executed in relief on many kinds of hard or precious, stones, but especially the chalcedonic variety of quartz and on shells.

Worse Than Devil’s Island ~ Easter islasd in the "South Pacific is abouf the most undesirable place on earth for human habitation. No trees grow on the island because it lacks water and no birds will live there on account of thelr being no worms. 'T'he island s ‘irregular in shape, being twelve miles by nine, by seven, and is very seldom visited by ships. Two hundred Polynesians inhabit it, and they suffer continually from hunger, It was first sighted in 1686. It was explored in 1722 and the island then had 2,000 inhabitants.'— Scientific American. : ;
