Slow Growths of Oaks
England's famed oaks are dlsap
pea ring. Many oaks were cut down
during the war, as the wood was ur-
gently needed. Said s botanist: "The
wood of an oak Is not really any good
until the tree Is four hundred years
old, and people today cannot afford to
grow oaks for posterity. Originally
large parts of England were corered
with oaks. The tree Is almost a rarity
now In some places. It Is aald that sn
oak takes 400 years to grow to full
slxe Is inwture for another 400 years
and takes 400 years more to decay
la some eases I should My thle Is
true."
Whistler Not Always
Regarded With Fmvot
Whistling is forbidden In Iceland,
where It is regarded as a breach of
the divine law. Hut whistling Is re-
garded with disfavor in other places as
well. In the drt-HHliig room of a the-
ater, for example, It dooms u play If
anyone whistles within hearing of the
players who are "iiinklng up" for the
first performance, according to a very
old theatrical superstition.
On shipboard you must not whistle
unless you want to bring a gale of
wind. Vou may whistle Just a little in
a calm, If you wish for a bit of wind,
but sailors generally believe you are
likely to get much more than you
want.
Whistling after dark Is regarded as
unluckly In some parts, while miners
hold that at no time of day should one
whistle in a mine; doing so Is sure to
bring on a cave-In, an explosion, or
some other form of disaster.
Among the races which resent nil
whistling are the Arabs. They say
that It inspired by the "evil one,"
and that It takes 40 days to purify the
mouth of a whistler, five years ugo
the governor of (iunm, the American
Island possession In the Pacific, Issued
an edict against whistling on that Is
land—presumably in deference to the
prejudice of (lie natives against tlie
practice.--Grit.
Gatherings Not Only
for Trade Purposes
While the natives of Kthlopla repre
sent a rather high order of Intelligence
they do not seem to be able to break
away from their old traditions aad
their old methods. The market Is the
medium of exchange of news and views
as well a of commodities, and market
day is s treat that the native doea not
tnlaa If It can lie avoided. The Inhab-
itants of the highlands bring their
grain and similar products down to
some large plain which Is recognised
as the "market," and there they meet
the natives of the lowlands wlio have
brought their cotton. The latter Is the
basis of nil exchange arid barter. They
have money, bat the value of the cot-
ton regulates the value of the money.
Salt also Is highly esteemed. The coins
made use of ;ill bear (lie date 17H0. no
matter how recent their origin may
have been. The date Is regarded as
evidence of their validity and a coin
remains in service until the date Is
worn off, after which no one will ac-
cept It for anything.—Exchange.
Glaciers
fou liked the music Instruments
that-^tai-ters' made;-hnt no songs were
ever so grand as Ttioae of the glaciers
themselves, no fulls ao lofty ns those
which poured from brows and chasmed
mountains of pure dark Ice. Olaclers
made the mountains and ground corn
for all the flowers, and the forests of
silver firi made smooth paths for hu-
man feet until the SHcred Sierras have
become the most approachable of
mountains. . , . The primary moun-
tain waves, unvltal granite, were soon
carved to beauty. They bared the
lordly domes and fushloned the clus-
tering spires; smoothed godlike moun-
tain brows and shafted lake cups for
crystul waters; wove myriads of mar.y
canyons and spread them out l'k' luce.

Hair's Change Never
Explained by Science
To n recent number of T. l'.'s and
I'asseH'a Weekly, Prof. J. Arthui
Thomson—who is a kind of self
nppolnted British pope of populat
science, and n very good one, too—
i-lucidnles die causes that make peo
pie's hair turn gray.
The subject was dealt with very sue
cessfully a number of years ago by
Professor Poulton, tlie Oxford entomol
oglst, in his book, "Animal Coloura-
tion," on which Professor Thomson is
evidently basin# ills own ideas.
The Mtory of the responsible bankers
whose hair turned gray in a single
week during times of crisis like the
World war Is probably quite true. Such
cases nre not uncommon In history.
Marie Antoinette's hair, for example, Is
said to have turned white In a very
short tliue as a result of emotional dis-
tress; and similar Instances are re
corded by a uu>.ibcr of medieval
writers.
Thjt attdden change of color is due
to the intrusion of little bubbles of gas
Into the substance of the hair, which
reflects the light and prevents the pig
ment, which Is still present, from show-
ing. When hair goes gray more slowly,
It la—or so Metchnlkoff believed—due
to the officious activity of white cor-
puscles which have got lnt< the bad
habit of prowling up Into the hair and
devouring the pigment. t
Many fur-bearing anlniais change
color with the weather, and the
mechanism Involved In these changes
appears to be very much like that
which affects human hair.
Begging the Question
Begging the question Is assuming a
proposition which. In reality, Involves
(he conclusion. Thus, to say that
parallel lines will never meet because
ihey sre psrallel. Is simply to assume
as n fact the very tiling thnt you pro-
fess to prove A "circle" In logic Is a
vlclons form of argument In which the
conclusion Is assumed to prove the
premise, and then the premise to prove
the ceodnaio*
PREPAREDNESS!
The man who waits until the last minute to or-
der coal some times has a ©hilly time before -'ir-
rives.
L'kewise the fellow who puts off banking his
money is generally in a harder time than the man
who starts his account early in life.
