We frequently find men of culture who take pride in their art or .their science but who have no feeling for morality or religion and are rather proud ofdthe fact. Is it not rather an evidence that their culture is failing to i raise the possibilities of experience to i their highest power?—Minneapolis Journal. New Lighthouse Mechanism.

Climatic Changes Due to Man. Tracing the climatic records of South Africa, T. M. Sim has reached the conclusion that the rainfall has not only diminished in the last con-' ury but has changed in character from oft soaking rains to torrential thunerstorms. Human influences —the detruction of forests and the ruining of he grass veld by burning—are beloved to have been -chiefly responsible •>r the changes. Pretty, Isn’t It? There is no altar on earth which des in marble majesty with the altar of heaven—Tien T’ian —in the south jf the Chinese city of Peking, which. Emperor Lung-le of the Ming dynasty reared in A.. D. 1420, with its triple balustrades, stairs and platforms of pure, white marble carved miraculously, its great circle covering a wide area in the midst of a vast inclosure. There the emperor knelt once a year. Palestine’s Salt Mountain. Palestine possesses a remarkable salt mountain situated at the south end of the Dead sea. The length of the ridge is six miles, with an average width of three-quarters of a mile, and the height is not far from 600 feet. There are places where the overlying earthy deposits are many feet in thickness, but the mass of the mountain is* composed of solid rock salt, some of which is as clear as crystal. Explaining History of Dress. If one could only know the origin l of all the many words we use-in our daily talk, one would know much of ■ the history of dress. Many of our most recently adopted clothes words come from France, but five hundred years ago dress terms more usually came from Italy, then the mecca of fashion. Hence, velvet came from “velluto,” the Italian word to indicate shaggy. And “camesole,” which has recently been revived frqm an earlier English usage, came from the I Italian diminutive of chemise.

Crab in Oyster Si.ell. A perfectly formed harusnell crab , about the size of the end ot a person’s thumb was once found In an oyster shell. The crab had evidently been swallowed by the oyster, but presumably the crab proved too much for the oyster, as there was no oyster in toe shell when it was openeo. Maize Grown in China. Indian corn, or maize, is grown extensively throughout the entire section of China. It Is generally planted after the wheat is harvested and in fields with beans, the beans ripening after the corn is harvested. The lack of scientific seed selection prevents the production of as large a yield as would otherwise be obtained. Give Him a Goatskin. The professor is th“ goat. “If it were not for >ne trivial thing.” mused Professor Cranium. the famous memory expert, as lu stroked his chin in par. “I could ghe young Stewpidd his diploma.
