Man Long Forgotten : Gave Name to Mount Obscurity and fame exist side by side on Mount Robson, 12972 feet, highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. The mountain itself iz widely known for its splendor, for the Ilmpression of towering height which it gives, as it stands at the head of ‘he Grand Forks valley. But the origin of its name and the manner of its naming have rested long in the shadows. The legend came down from & tribe of the Shuswap Indians, who In the early Nienteenth century had worked their way from the west coast into the mountains. They had a small encampment on the banks of the Fraser.

Long sago, they say, when white men were seldom seen in the mountains, a party of these strangers came in over Yellowhead pass fromn the East and ¢amped close to the river with the mountain high above them. Thelr horses were poor and thin. They had traveled far.

The newcowners sat long into the twilight, made silent by the closeness of this mighty column of ice and rock that reached into the skies. Never before, they declared, had they come upon anything to compare with it. In the morning they githered thelr horses and prepared to shoe those that needed it. A blacksmith was In the party. As he grasped a hind foot the horse reared and kicked. The blacksmith took the blow in his head ‘and died. His name was Robson. ‘ Early records of the Hudson's Bay company state that there landed In ‘Hudson bay, close to the end of the Eighteenth century, one “Joseph Robson, blacksmith.”

‘Research Shows That Few Tkirgs Are “Ilew” More than 2500 years ago the I,Greeks knew how to spin tops; they ‘had pocket knives with bronze blades and exquisitely carved ivory handles, ‘and clasp pins, much like the safety W by which its modern inventor ‘made a fortune, were common, says ‘Popular Mechanics Magazine. A proc‘ess for making clear yellow-white ‘glass was announced as a new discoviery not long ago, but excavations in ‘Egypt show that the materizl was ‘known there in the Second century B. C. A set of 150 pieces was recovered from the ruins of an ancient city. ‘A sewer system that would compare favorably with any constructed today was laid in Crete some 2,500 years B. C., and you can turn the faucets of a System that was installed in ancient Pompeil, 873 ,

The Baffled Climber

Owen D. Young, tHe noted lawyer and capitalist of New York, sald on disembarking from the Olympic: “While Vesuvius was in eruption I heard a story about an English cockney tourist who y,as doing Naples on a Polytechnic trip. “Well, this chap climbed up Vesuvius with a guide, and when they got to.the tor he beamed all over and said:

“‘Now then, what about that there drink we're goin’ to have? . “ ‘Dreenk ?” said the guide. ‘But eet ees impossible to get dreenk up here, sare.’ :

““Well, I’'m blowed! said the tourist. ‘Wait till I get 'old of that bloke as told me this place 'ad been overflowin’ with lager for three days.'” Pirate Gold The pirate captain was declaiming a spell-out square; it reads, “It is a glorious thing to be a pirate king.” The enigma being shouted by the crew is the familidr couplet from ‘“Treasure Island”: “Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.” The rebus on the scroll spelled “Pirate treasure”—Pyre, Eight, Trays, Ewer. The pirate carrying the chest announced that it was filled with “4ngots and pieces of eight’—in G. OTS and a broken eight.

Old, but Green

Chauncey M. Depew, at a reception in his New York home, criticized a June-December marriage after his usual crisp fashion,

“Old John Bullion is a healthy chap,” a banker had observed. “He'll live to a green old age, old John will.”

“Humph. He's reached it already,” said Mr. Depew. “I met him downtown last week, and he told me he Just married a chorus girl forty-two years his junior who loved him for himself alone.”—Pittsburgh Sun,

Concerning Canaries

The biological survey says that the actual origin of the canary as a cage bird is obscure. It seems probable that captive canaries were first secured from the Canary islands, but it is doubtful that this stock has furnished ancestors of all our birds of this kind. The serin finch of middle and southern Burope is so similar that it may often have been captured and accepted as a canary and interbred until all distinguishable differences were lost. !

Odérous Onion Liked : by All World Racej‘ Onions seem to be almost as old as the hills, They are mentioned in the Bible as one of the things longed for by the Israelites in the wilderness and complained about to Moses. Herodotus says that in hLis time there was an inscription on the Great Pyramid stating the sum expended for onions, radishes, and garlic, which had been consumed by the laborers during its erection, as 1,600 talents. Ancient pletures show priests holding onions in their hands at the altar. ' Early explorers, including Columbus, brought onion seed to the New world. New Englanders were raising them as early as 1634, and General Sullivan, in 1779, in his raid against the Indians in central New York, destroyed many onion fields belonging to the savages. Nineteen states now produce large commercial crops of onions. Texas scents up the whole Gulf of Mexico ang the eastern side of the Atlantic with her onion-luden vessels bound for New York.—Peter R. Sterling in National Republic Magazine. ' :

Weather Has Little ' Influence on Tides

. Contrary to popular belief, especial7ly that long cherished by many sea‘men, tides do not exert any influence on the weather, according to meteorologists of the weather bureau, United States Department of Agricul‘ture. :

As a matter of fact, close observers have discovered that certain extreme weather conditions affect the tides to some extent. Tides ebb and flow at every point on the coast with clocklike regularity. Nevertheless, the weather continues to be fair or foul, irrespective of those tides. On the other hand, conditions of very low barometric pressure and very strong winds from favorable directions cause either unusually low or unusually high tides, as the case may be. This ;18 the influence of the weather on the tides, and the weather is not the re'sult of any tidal influence. . Even when there is, as meteorologists understand, a very insignificant ‘outflow of air from a region into iwhich the tide is rising, or a correigponding inflow of air as the tide sub_fsldes. t}xis does not constitute a sigf;nlficant feature of the. weather,

In Bad Company

* When a vote is to be taken on some ‘important measure a congressman who ‘cannot be present “pairs” himself iwith some representative who would ‘vote “aye” to the congressman’s “nay,” 'or vice versa. * ' Once a Democratic member of the ‘house received a letter from an active !'polit‘lcian of that party in his district, ‘calling attention to the fact that he rwas reported in the Congressional Recrord almost every day as being “paired” 'with a Republican. : f “I don’t doubt your loyalty to the ! party,” read the letter, “but I think the boys would like it a good deal better if you paired with Democrats instead '}ot Republicans.”—Harper’s Magazine.

: Pressing Business ; “] want to speak to Mr. Jones” {laid the voice over the wire, ) ¢ “I'm sorry, sir, but Mr. Jones is in reonference,” the private secretary reiplied sweetly. ! And at the same moment Mr. Jones iwas in deep conference with a friend {at Merchant and Bishop streets. He declared, very confidentially and not k!or publication : { “Yeah, {it's sure wonderful how

kqnlck they can dig a big hole in the ground like that. I see they're putting in the foundation already. Wonder how they are going to get rid of that water, though?’—Hoenolulu Star'Bulletin.

Almond Raising

~ Almonds comprise the most important crop of the island of Majoreca, !where many - varieties are cultivated, iand the industry is so prosperous that jas old olive trees die they are replaced »'by almonds. ; When the almonds are almost ripe ‘they are knocked off the branches by ;long bamboo poles and then picked up ‘by women and children. The 'nuts yare separated from the husks after dry|ing, and the shells are then broken hy lhand or machinery and the kernels ‘extracted. :

Think for Yourself

, Don’'t be too much impressed by what your neighbor is thinking and Edoing. Democracy doesn’t mean that men shall be like bricks in a wall, all the same size, shape and color. Don’t let anybody else make your opinions for you. Don’t be standardized. The 'world is full of all kinds of standardization now. Be as near right about your opinions and jour acts as you know how. Don’t waste your time by looking over the wall into your neighbor’s dooryard.—Greve Paterson, in the Mobile Register,
