‘Chincse Elm One of | -~ Hardiest of Trees . The Chinese elm, sometimes known as the desert elm, is one of the most. vdluable contributions to the imported flora of the United States made by the late Frank Meyer of the burean of plant industry, United States Department of Agricultuie, says the American Forests and Forest Life Magazine, ofticial organ of the Amnerican Forestry association. Mr. Meyer found the trec¢ growing in the vicinity of Peking, China, and was so impressed with its graceful form aud general hardiness that he included seeds in his shipments of new plants from the Celestial Kingdom about thé year 1014, ° = . “The seeds,” the writer continues “were propagated at several ‘of the plant ‘introduction gardens of the Department of Agriculture and sdon proved thoir adaptability to a wide range of conditions in America. One of the original trees growing unear Chico, Calif., is now about forty feet high and its small leaves and the density and weeping character of its foliage combine to make a specimen of great grace and beauty.” : Two-Thirds Majority ' Doesn’t Mean That A *“two-thirds majority” is merely a popular way of saying that a candidate received two-thirds of ail the votes cast in an election Suppose, for instance, 3.000 votes are cast, and one candidate receives 1,000 and the other 2,000, The latter receives & two-thirds - majority ! namely, two-thirds of all i the votes cast. In this case the aectual majority over' the other candidate is only one-third of all the votes, and literally “two-thirds majority” should mean that the difference between .he two figures is two-thirds of the total number of votes. For instance, if one candidate had received 500 and the other 2,500. the difference —2(oo—would equal two-thirds of the total. But the term is generally used to express the idea of two-thirds of all the votes regardless of the num“ber received by other candidates.— The Pathfinder. '

Fastest Thing on Legs j “The fastest thing on legs” is the title deserved by the whippet, the featherweight, long-legged racing dog "that is rapidly becoming popular in America. Over a 200-yard course the dogs will outdistance a race horse, reaching the finish in from 10 to 12 seconds. That is half the time the fastest man would require! " In the Farm Journal, Werner P. Meyer tells how the whippet originated in England. “The breed was built up,” -he relates, “chiefly by mixing the blood of the greyvhound with the terrier family. The result of this interbreeding was a dog resembling the greyhound in physieal features, but smaller and lighter of build; and to the speed and stamina of the greyhound were’ added the daring and gameness of the terrier family.,” -

: Gets His Revenge . A contractor received -an inquiry from a surgeon who wanted preliminary ~ bids on' several different sketches, with alternates for all kinds of materials and finishes, relates a contributor to Architectonics Magazine. - The contractor wrote back: “Am in the market for one operation for appendicitis, one, two. or five-inch incision with or without ether; also with eor without nurse. Quofations must include putting appendix back and canceling the order if found sound. . Successful bidder is expected to hold incision open for 60 days. as I expect to be in the market for an operation for gall stones, and 1 want to save the extra cost of cutting.”

Oldest Road in America ; The old Spanish road, built across Mexico in the Sixteenth century, is belleved to be the oldest road in North America It was built in the form of a letter *Y” with the lower point starting at Vera Cruz on the gulf. The northern prong touches the Pacific at San Bias and the southern tip at Acapulco. - Because of this road the west-hound convoy - lines from the Philipppines were spared the dangerous navigation around Cape Horn. There still is evidence that this old trail was used by the Indians before the Spaniards broadened it from a pack-mule path to a highway. Speed Hog - ' ~ Armed with pencil and notebook, a reporter attended a certain meeting and took up a position below the platform. : ' 'He worked very quickly, and occasionally the speaker glanced at him rather nervously, afterwards speaking at greater and greater speed : But the faster he spoke the quicker ‘the reporter’s pencil glided over the paper. Finally, the orator could stand it no longer. e “Net so fast,” he shouted; “not so fast! -1 can’t keep up with ye.”

- Sympathetic Tree ‘ A tree that died with its owner is the subject of a strange story told at La Grange, Mo. When William Quinn was born op a farm 71 years ago his father. Benjamin Quinn, planted a hard maple sapling. The tree thrived as the boy grew. William Quinn was devoted to it. : When Quinn died a few months ago 80 did the tree. To keep alive the. memory of the spot the family left a six-foot stump in cutting the giant maple. A vine was planted at {ts base. e

e ———— . — A W . e e e . e e e———— Multisyllable Words ! Feature Some Tosgues. © English, as Prof. Otto Jespersen of !,Denmark recently observed, may be . ‘degenerating into g mass of monot.synables. but there are muny languages left over which Mark Twuml é could have had the kind of fun in ',w.hich he indulged when he suggest‘-; i ed -that German words could be madei | to serve as suspension bridges across . the widest rivers. Thce is Finnish, | for instance. While the reader of an American newspaper has had flashed upon him the laconic headline, “Jap ~King Takes Crown,” the Finnish reader, as the interpreter puts it, is still wading somewhere in valtaistuimelleusettamisjubla, which means nothing more than. “coronation cerel mony” and leaves him still a vast distance tc go in order to leara ¢ whom l'it happens. In Danish the old age pension law is known as alderdomsunderstottelsesforordningen and in ‘ltalian, as the interpreter remarks neatly, it takes time to rush headlong, as the 1{0:16@1’ may test for himself, by trying to sa¥y precipeterevolis‘simevolmente. No wonier that headlines in some foreign newspapers have to be three or four columns wide. Even then, the headline writer must ‘have his troubles. ; L

. Disuse of Mentality Would Mean Idiocy It is a funny place, this world of capitalism, with its astenishing spread ‘of ‘ignorance and helplessness, boast‘ing all the time of its spread of education and enlightment. There stands the thousands of property owners and _millions of wage weorkers, none of them able to make anything, none of them knowing what to do until somehody tell them, none of them having the least notion of how it is that they | find people paying them money, and things in the shops to buy.with it And when .they travel they are surprised to find that savages and Esquimaux and viJlagers who have to make everything for themselves are more intelligent and resourceful. The wonder would be if they were anything else. ‘We should die of idiocy through disuse of our mental faculties if we did not fill our heads:with romantic nonsense out of illustrated newspapers and novels and plays and ‘ films. Such stuff keeps us alive; but it falsifies everything for us so ab- \ surdly that it leavessus more or less dangerous lunatics in the real world. '} —George Bernard Shaw. i

She Forgot the “R” , The high school teacher was new _to the East and the pupils had not - yet decided whether to like her or " not. They held informal meetings to discuss her from every high school‘ pupil angle. Her clothes, her looks and the way she applied the: lipstick‘ all came in for searching analysis. | They had almost made up "their minds to permit her to stay when one of the members of the English class raised her volce in protest. L “She dresses fairly well,” she said, ‘“and her make-up isn’t so bad. Baut her pronunciation is simply awful. She comes from the Middle West and ‘she never pronounces the ‘r’ in words ke ‘‘idear.’” : ; Hint for Dog Lovers ~ These aristocratic dogs wuose prices go up in the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars receive the very best of care—and fcod. The food they eat largely determines their appearance, and their appearance wins them prizes at dog shows. And what do the Kennel owners like to feed ‘their dogs: 'ln many cases canned dog foods, the basis of which is usually meat mixed with barley or some other cereal and some -cod liver oil. The mixture is put into tin cans. sterilized just as carefully as if it were for human consumption, and then (it is ready for the fastidious dog kings.

' Where Monks Farmed | The historic estate of Vale Royal l in England, a portion of which is be- | ing placed on the market, includes the 1 bulk of the lands anciently farmed by || the monks of Vale Royul Abbey, once i a mighty house of the Cisterclan | order. The monks of the Cistercian i order, the eight hundredth anniver | sary of whose coming to England was | celebrated, have been called the great- ’ est farmers in medieval England. | and no doubt the development of Eng- 1 lish hushandry was to a large extent ] due to them. ‘At the dissolution the || abbey was laid in ruins. Largest Electric Lamp A 50,000-watt experimental bulb made recently is sald to be the world’s largest electric lamp. It re- | sembles a wireless valve. and at the| top of the bulb a metal fin radiator | carries off intense heat generated by | the white-hot tungsten filament. which has a temperature of 5,500 degrees ‘Fahrenheit. The lamp is cooled by the circulation of the nitrogen with whieh it is filled. : Such huge lights may ultimately find use in aerodromes and flm studios. S ; Adviée - ; A farmer who had suhdivided his acres complained to a friend, “I can’t get any turnover on my real estate.” The response was prompt. : “Turn it over with « plow.” o . Patience , St .
