Tells of Wiinessing l 7 Volcano in Eruption
Joseph H. Sinclair, representing! the American Geographic society, bas! returned to this country from a hard! trip of exploration through Ecuador, where he had a revirific experience in an endeavor to reuch a smoking volcano which bad erupted, the whole country for miles around being deluged with a tlow of lava. THhe natives had a wholesomue superstitious fear of the great pile and could not be induced to guide the explorer as near as he wanted to go, but by his own efforts and alone he managed to get within seven miles of the cone and this was oeur ehough for him to witness a nuniber of explosions which repeatedly chinged the contour of the crater's rim. Little or nothing had been known ahout the volcano and he secured valu:ble data concerning its character and location. :
Mr. Sinclair pointed out that he was not the first white nuun to see the vol-cano--a mouniain which the naiives call Reventador, meaning “Eruptor.”’ Near the place the explorers came on a lone white man who could not tell them how long he had been there nor why he had penetrated so far from civilized association. Nor would he g 0 with them to the mouitain. He, too, had been infected by the superstition (3’ the natives, which holds that whenever a human sets foot on the side of ‘the tall volcano Reventador becomes “muy brava,” or very brave.
Immunity to Poisons Not Yet Understood One of the most fascinating chapters In animal poisons is the subject of natural immunity, the fact that some animals are immune to the poi sons of others and remain unhurt if stung or bitten by the poisonous animals, whereas all other sorts of beasts succuinb.
A case in point is that of desert animals, which are unharmed by a scorpion’s sting. The desert fox, the kangaroo rat and other inhabitants of deserts where scorpions abound are in this happy position. Their cousins, living far away from the desert, would at once be ceriously injured by a scorpion’s sting, whereas the desert breeds remain unhurt. It is to be supposed that in the far distant past, before the desert animals tiad this complete immunity to scorpion venom, those which were stung and ‘could not resist died, leaving no oifspring. Their luckier brothers, who happened to have a hardier constitution, survived and left behind them a resistant race of descendants.—The Forum.
Created Cinderella
It yas just three centuries since Charles Perrault, creator of Cinderella and Red Riding Hood, was born. Perrault, a Frenchman, never dreamed that the fairy children of his brain would become immortal. He wrote poetry of an exceedingly dull order, and it was by his poems and not by his fairy stories that he hoped to win fame. Perrault conceived and wrote his stories, which he called “Tales of Mother Goose,” to please his little son, just as Lewis Carroll, a mathematician, told the tale of Alice in Wonderland to amuse two little girls. Cinderella and her glass slipper was one of Perrault’s favorite _heroines. Some people have tried to ingist that Cinderella’s slipper of :“verre,” or glass, was meant to be a :'slipper of “vair,” or fur, but one can‘not imagine Cinderella in anything but a crystal slipper. :
What Is a Peddler?
The word peddler is derived from an old English word, “ped,” as in Spencer’s “Shepheard’s Calendar.” “A bask is a wicker ped wherein they use 'to carry fish.” It has no connection ‘with the Latin pedis, a foot, as often ireported. A peddler is, therefore, one ,Wwith a ped, basket, or pack, and it has ibeen held in law, one who has the ;identical article he sells in his “ped.” ‘lt 18, simply speaking, incorrect, there.fore, to call an itinerant merchant, :who simply takes orders for goods ‘bought from seeing samples he carrries, a peddler: :
Airplanes Cut Journey
~ An airplane service for gold diggers and others concerned with the 'newly discovered flelds in New Guinea is the latest aerial’development. The new fields are on a 2,000-foot high plateau, 60 miles from ‘the coast, a eross-country journey of six days, and a fleet of airplanes has reduced the trail to one of 50 minutes. All supplies for the flelds are now carried by air, the machines returning to the coast with cargoes of gold and passengers. :
Waterproof Glue
Casein glues are exceedingly resistant to the action of water and retain a very high percentage of fheir original strength, even after long immers, sion under water. They are comparatively inexpensive, and the materials from which they are made are readily available in the market. They are applied cold and will set without the application of heat.
The Biggest Crater
Two young Swedish students of geology named -Wadell and Ygberg, after an expedition in Iceland, have discovered what is believed to be the largest crater in the world, measuring five miles long and a quarter mile wide, and further claim to have discovered warm springs, Sl

Possible to Control. =~ Coloring of Flowers
It is generally known that the colors of vegetation vary in intensity in direct ratio to the amount of sunlight, combined with coolness of tem-: perature within certain limits, Examples are the intense redness of 'upplede ‘grown in porthern climates, and the‘ deep colors of Alpine vegetation. Butj the soil and other influences also have! an effect upon plant colors. - { Experiments have been mude within recent years with reference to the question of artificial control of the colors of plants through thie introduction of such chemicals into the soil in whicli they grow. In very small quans tities such chemicals are absorbed without apparent injury, but the effect upon the colors is slight. Yellow roses appear to becoume deeper in color under the influence of aluminum sulphute and potassium sulphate. With the use of these suame chewicals the petals of the white carnation stiowed a tendency to develop red streaks, while when fed with ~ammonium sulphate, aluminum sulphate, iron citrate and citric acid scarlet carnations tended to form white streaks. - :
Sunday Games in Times of “Good Queen Bess”
In the Elizabethan age of English history not the mildest of gumes, entertainments or *“shows” could be given on Sunday without a special permit —iuand from the queen in person. We read that on April 26, 1569, one **John Seconton, poulterer, having four small children, and fallen into decay,” was given a permit by good Queen Bess “to have and use some plays and games, at or upon several Sundays, for his better relief, comfort and sustentation.”
. The games to be permitted under .the direction of this Elizabethan pro‘moter included “the shooting with the ‘standard, the shooting with the broad‘arrow, the shooting at the Turk, the lleaplng't'ox- men, the wrestling, the ‘throwing of the sledge, and the pitch‘ing of the bar.”
Queen Bess advised the authorities to attend the games with ‘“four or five good, substantial men” to ‘keep the peace and prevent disorder.
Singing Crickets
One of the most curious things to be seen in Japan, alike in the houses of rich and poor, is a small cage of bamboo fibers in which are housed singing crickets. The -male only has the “voice,” which can hardly be called a singing voice because the sounds emitted are much more metallic than those which ordinarily proceed from the throat of a bird. The westerner who" hears these sounds for the first time starts up under the impression that he is hearing an electric call bell. In order to execute his song, the cricket goes through a very amusing performance. He raises himself on his front feet, grasps with the others a kind of “platform” arranged in the cage for °his convenience, expands his wing-shells and rubs them against each other with great rapidity. The rhythm of the movement varies with individuals and this explains how the sound produced offers a certain variety in meter as well as in pitch.
Misunderstood
A foreign looking man, who only spoke a little English and that with the greatest of difficulty, was trying to find suitable apartments. Eventually he managed to make one landlady understand his peculiar intonations.
“So you want three rooms and a bath, do you?” she repeated, when at last she understood him. :
+ The foreigner blushed. . “I need the three rooms, certainly,” 'he replied indignantly. “But a bath, that is not so much of your business, yes?’—London Answers.
Figure It Out
‘ What should one really talk about? If you talk about yourself, you're .conceited. If you talk about your 'business, youre a “shop talker.” If ryou talk too much, youre a bore, If . you haven’t anything to talk about, iyou're uninteresting. If you talk about [your baby or your club affiliations, iyou're a Babbitt. If you talk about tpeople, you're a knocker. If you talk ‘sweetly about a friend you're a log;roller. If you talk about art, yvou're ,a highbrow, and if you don’t talk at ‘all, you're a high-hat!—New York ;Graphic.' e
, Mother Knew the Answer . Father entered the house in the evejning in silence. He was seen to lay k:ls golf clubs aside, to tread his way earily about the house, and finally .rto slouch silently at the dinner table. 'He said not a word during the meal, inor after, until he was heard to mutzter to his wife, “There’s no place like ‘home !” » “What's the matter?” asked mother, '{“somethlng go wrong on the golf ‘eourse?” Pl
