When he finally Left, autumn was half gone, the ditto that was to hake the pond deep enough to provenly the water from freezing to the bottom was unfinished, and no food had been stored. Late In October I visited the new wilderness home. One orew of log- gers were cutting aspens. They had cleared a traiiway to drag the wood through to the pond. The -beavers had not finished their harvesting when a heavy full of snow enure, and they were compelled to turn their at- tention to a patch of aspens that was only about sixty feet from the pond lint was separated from it by a thick belt of pi11011 and a confusion of fallen spruce logs. Tracks In the snow showed that during one night five beavers had wallowed out to"tlte aspens and had felled and dragged several trees to the pond: but wolves had pounced on one Of them while lie was at work, and had overtaken and killed another in the deep snow. The wolves seemed to realize the distress of the beavers, and lurked about to seize the hunger - driven animals. At. that point in the struggle the beavers decided to build a tunnel. Beginning at the bottom of the pond near the shore, they dug outward toward the aspen grove. For fifteen feet that subway ran about two feet under the surface, then it in- clined upward, and came out under a pine tree close to the aspens., They built a drngway from the end Of the tunnel to the aspens and felled a num. ber and worked them through the tunnel to the pond. At last cold, ice, snow and fear of -enemies completely stopped the heavers' harvest. Their food supply, as seen through the clear ice, was less than one half the normal quantity and they began to burrow in the pond for roots and bulbs. Again the cold prevented their work, for the low water froze to the bottom and shut them off. They were not beaten, how- ever. They dug a canal from their house to the heart of the root area, and kept It open. When the roots gave out, they had to leave the pond or starve, They tried to gnaw up through the ice, and nearly succeed- ed; but they discovered unfrozen earth under the dam and tunneled out to the channel of the stream. Tracks of six muddy -footed beavers on the snow at the outer end of the completed tunnel told the number that survived that cold whiter. They lived in holes along the bank of the stream until warns weather, when they drifted away. Late the. next autumn six beavers came back to the pond anti put it in slope for winter, The Oldest of Detective Stories A MOTHER'S TRIALS It has been pointed out that the de,- the Mayor.

He believes in "signs" and omens of all kinds. Nothing would induce a skipper of the old school to sail of a Friday. Rumor has it, says a writer in the "Railway and Travel Monthly," that one intrepid unbeliever who dared to leave the docks at Grimsby on a Good Friday was hooted through the lock -gates by the scandalized populace. If a man's hat blew overboard while leaving a port, many skippers would turn back and delay sailing until the next day. It was an 1)111011 that one of the crow would be lost during the trip. This sign, however, became discredited, as Wily deck lands, desirous of another day ashore with their wives and faml- liee, contracted the habit of going aloft and assisting the wind to foretell disaster. A Pagan Fashion. The fashion of keeping little dogs as objects of luxury is not at all modern, Both Greek and Roman wo- men used to have small pet dogs, over which they made as much to do as does a fashionable lady of to -day over her poodle. Even men, usually foreigners, were not ashamed to stroll about the Ro- man streets parrying dogs `in their arms.

The hundreds thus suddenly found in a bundle hi broad daylight. Unless the porter should pay for the lost goods 11e would have to go to prison, said the master. In deepair the por- ter took counsel of Mayor 0-oka. "You are certainly to blame for hav- ing fallen asleep," said the Mayor, "but Jizo is equally to blame, for he is a god bound to protect everyone who trusts 11Ln1 and this time lie has betrayed you. Even though Jizo is a Buddha, I cannot pardon him for his neglect of duty. I will have him ar- rested and brought before me for trial," So 0-olca gave immediate orders to his court officers to go and arrest Jizo. of Yokogawa Street, and bring hint before the Mayor's seat for trial, Three of the officers departed on their mission, They first bound the arms of the stone god with coils of rope; then they tried to lift him from This firm pedestal into a cart. A great crowd assembled before the Jizo, at- tracted by the unusual behavior of the court officers. When they were told that Jizo oust go before the Mayor for trial, the citizens of Yoko- gawa Street and the neighborhood of Honjo marveled, The task of unseating the god was too much for the three officers, and they sought aid of those standing about. They promised that in return for assistance they would admit all volunteer workers into- the courtroom to witness the extraordinary trial, Hundreds were spurred by curiosity to lend a band, and when the stone god went through the streets strapped to a cart like any offender the crowd grew. It filled tho,great hall of justice when Jizo was lifted in and propped up before the platform upon which sat and under bonds they hurried to their homes to bring back the cloth fine. Before the day was done 700 pieces of cotton cloth had been presented be- fore the Mayor's court, the name of each culprit being set down upon the tan of cotton cloth which he present- ed. Before he would allow the 700 to go, however, 0-oka retired with the por- ter who had been robbed to an inner chamber and he asked the porter to look over the 700 pieces of cloth and see if he could identify any of them as having been once In the pack he had carried. Since every manufac- turer of cotton cloth in Yedo always marked the selvage. of each strip with a'little red trade -mark stamp the por- ter searched the edges of many stripes of cloth for a stamp similar to that borne upon the cloth of which lie had been robbed, He found that two of the pieces of cloth brought to pay the Mayor's fine bore the stamp of his plundered pack. Instantly Mayor 0-oka ordered the arrest of the two men who had brought tats cloth; they confessed to the robbery, and ali'the clout they had taken from the sleep- ing porter's pack was restored to him. All the other pieces of cloth, taken in toll by the Mayor, were restored to their owners, and all but the two guilty members of the crowd which had attended the trial of Jizo were re- leased. Then Jizo, the stone god, was put on a cart, wreathed with the ever- green pine and the bamboo, symbols of long life and prosperity, and he was carried back to his pedestal in Yoko- gawa Street at the head of a triumph- al procession. Jizo had vindicated himself, and Mayor 0-oka the wise sat more firmly than ever in his seat of power. WHERE THE ICEBERGS ARE HATCHED. If one looks at an ordinary map, one is surprised to find that Greenland is considerably bigger than South Amer!. ca. Which illustrates the distortion of the Mercator projection, inasmuch as South America is actually about six tines the size of Greenlanci. All the sante, Greenland is the big- gest island in the world, and once up- on a time it must have been a pleasant place to live in. Plant fossils found there prove that anciently it had a tropical climate. But it must have been a very long time ago, for to -day nearly the whole 01 Greenland is covered by an ice sheet with an average thickness of 1,000 feet. From a mountain range two tulles high most of the great is- land slopes ,downward and westward toward Baffin Bay aid Davis Strait, and so the ice sheet is continually moving -in that direction. Off the west coast are numerous is- lands and, as the ice sheet forces its way between them, it is ripped to pieces, Huge fragments drop off, forming what we call icebergs, and are set afloat in the sea. What happens to an individual ice- berg after that depends upon accident- al circunhstances. It may run ashore on Bailin Island (the west side of Davis Strait) or on the coast of Lab- rador, further south. It it escapes this fate, its passage southward through the straitwill b8 very slow, because it must plow its way through field ice many feet thick. The lucky iceberg is one that man- ages to keep in the main channel and is carried southward by the Labrador current into the north Atlantic. Once arrived in that region of open sea it may drift about for many months be- fore going to pieces. Largo bergs have on occasions got as far as the Azores. A. sizeable berg may have nearly Vertical walls 100 feet high, with pin- nacles towering to twice that eleva- tion. Often these floating mountains of lee have very fantastic shapes. It is not all safe for a ship to go near one, for huge fragments sometimes fall off, and it is no uncommon thing for an iceberg suddenly to turn up- side dowfi. The period of danger from icebergs is April, May and June. Instead of Tea or Coffee buy a tin of the healthful table beverage INSTANT 0 TUM he quality is constant and the Ch, even goo pleases.

When the Steel Trust was organized Andrew Carnegie remarked that the common stock was not even water; It was "just alr." This same "air" has become worth something since then. If you want any of it, you must pay for it at the rate of $113 a share. Ordinary air, thank goodness! has not gone up in price. It is about the only thing that has not done so. Even the automobile garages advertise "free ail," This is really very fortunate, be- cause we need air not only to breathe, but also for fuel. We keep the house warm in winter, and the range going, by burning air. You thought it was coal? Well, that is necessary also, but the coal would be of no use as fuel unless you had air to burn with it. tl You can't burn one thing. Burning, in kitchen range or furnace, means the coming together of the oxygen of the air and the carbon of the coal. They effect a chemical combination, The air is just as necessary to the process of combustion- as the coal. Our attenton is fixed upon coal as the fuel for the sole reason that we have to pay tor' it. It coal were free and air cost money, we should look at the matter from an opposite point of view. Everything else is taxed nowadays. Suppose the government were to take a notion to put a tax on air, placing an air -meter in each dwelling, Would not that be horrible? . There bas long been a tax on fresh air in Germany. It is called a "win- dow tax," being assessed according to the number of windows with which a house is provided. The result is that people economize our windows, reduc- ing the number to a minimum, and their allowance of fresh air is there- by cut wn. Alt isdomuch heavier staff than is commonly imagined.

An Ode to Health. Health in itself makes life a per- petual joy. Nothing daunts, nothing over -awes, nothing discourages, and nothing over- powers the man and woman possessed of health. Health means not only vigor and energy of the body, but also clarity and strength of mind, purity of body and of soul. The healthy person dominates life, instead of allowing life to dominate hint. He scarcely thinks of his body as consisting of parts, or as performing separate functions. To hien the body is but one harmonious whole. He is a unit, a being, a man; com- plete, vigorous, perfect, To sucli a man work is joy, He re - garde obstacles as but opportunities for testing his strength. He hardly knows what weakness is. He never experiences exhaustion. Merely to grasp his hand is a pleasure, To gaze into his eyes is a joy. To hear his voice is to feel a thril pass over one.
