Only Few Writers Among Presidents of the U. S. It is rather astonishing how few of our Presidents have been writers. The record is rather slim, says a writer in the Washington Post. Washington, Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Madison, Polk and Lincoln kept diaries. Jefferson wrote a book on Virginia, and, like‘most of our early Presidents, was a voluminous letter writer.

Madison kept the minutes of the debates In the constitutional convention of 1786, and the Madison papers are the most valuable record we have that are concerned with the foundations of our government. J. Q. Adams’s' diary in ten volumes is a precious record. Chief Justice Taft spent the last years of his life reading it and laughing over it. - Van Buren wrote his autobiography, which has never been published, and an “Inquiry Into the Origin and Course of Political Parties in the United States,” actually compiled from it. Polk kept a diary during his Presidency, which has been published. It is a document historians value greatly. Buchanan wrote a history of his own administration, which was published in his lifetime.

' Lincoln, in his youth, wrote a life of Christ, which was destroyed; and during his Presidency kept a - diary, ‘which also may have been destroyed. Cleveland wrote a delicious book on fishing and hunting. ' Benjamin Harrison wrote a small book on our government, Theodore Roosevelt was -4 voluminous writer in the fields of history, biography and nature. Woodrow Wilson wrote a great book on congress and a popular history of the United States and a biography of Washington, £t Coolidge wrote a book on Massachusetts, and an autobiography.

Husky Jungle Cock Boss; Kills Off Weaker Males The wild jungle cock lords it over a band of six or eight hens which he guides, protects, and keeps as long as he can, watchful to fight any intruder on his premises; consequently the weaker males are continually killed off and in any district there are far more females than males. In early spring eight to ten creamy white eggs are lald in a thin hidden nest on the ground, and as each egg arrives the little hen marches out and tells the world about it. The crowing of the cocks is like that of our ‘herald of the dawn,’ but less prolonged. These wild ancestors of our poultry—they are still numerous in oriental jungles—were domesticated long before any known records of history. They spread westward with the advance of migrating peoples from Persia and Asia Minor, and reached the Atlantic coast of Europe with the Roman conquests of two thousand years ago.—Montreal Herald. ;

English Salt One million nine hundred and ten thousands tons of salt are made in Engalnd every year, and nearly all of it comes out of Chesire and Worcestershire. Most of it is used in chemical factories, but a good deal as fertilizer. Three bushels per acre of salt increases the yield of wheat by four to twelve bushels per acre. Some plants, however, do not like it. Among these are the apple tree, the cherry, and the vine. In dressing land with salt too much can be used for 16 bushels per acre will destroy all plant life, including weeds. Salt is one of the most widely distributed of all minerals. It is even thrown out by Vesuvius and other active voleanoes.—Montreal Herald.

The “Unsheathed Sword” According to the traditions of the place, the “sword of state” which hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was removed from its scabbard in August, 1914, as an official notice to the town that England was at war. The sword was carried by Shakespeare’s father when he was high bailiff, 1508 .to 1509. Custom unsheathes the sword when England is at war and does nof return it to its scabbard until peace is declared. : it

Mediterranean Sponge Fishery The bureau of fisheries says that the Mediterranean sponge fishery is of considerable antiquity and it produces over half in value of the world supply, though if is impossible to obtain accurate statistics for all countries on its border. The fisheries of the American coast produce by far the largest quantity, but a predominance of the lowerpriced kinds reduce the value to about three-fourths of that of the Mediterranean fisheries. ;

Columbus’ Cook Stove In Columbug’ ship, the Santa Maria, the arrangement for cooking consisted of a large square piece of metal, probably iron, with a raised portion at the back on which were placed two tripods.

For heating purposes stoves burning charcoal « and wood were employed, ; Genoa Throbs With Life Genoa, Italy’s animated Mediterranean port; throbs wéth modern life, with filne palaces and historical buildings which evoke memories of a glorious past.
