Old Oceans Bed, To an enormous extent the bed of the ocean i covered with lava and pilmice stone, Still more remarkable is it to find the floor of the ocean covered in many parts with the dust of meteorites. These bodies whirl about in the heavens like miniature comets,. and are for the most part brokeu into in- numerable fragmeets. We are all familiar with these hea- venly visitants as shooting stars; but it has been only lately discovered that this oostnic dust forms layers at the bottom of the deepest seas. Between Honolulu and Tahiti, at a depth of 2,360 fathoms—over two rail& and a half—a vast layer of this material exists. . Falling upon land this impalpable dust is indistinguishable, but, accumu- lating for centuries in the sea depths, it forms a wondrous story of the cen- Campus bombardment of this planet by conestary bodies. iiteilliiffillIrre11311111110111111$11111111111111112111$1111l11111M1111ifildlltii1111111111211121112111011111111111111IllitilithiletailliedllattidelliO1111111111111111111115 Ciiitlkowo-,the Sugar Bill • by eating a- cereal that contains its own sugar;self-developed from grain in making-- ut , • As a breakfast or luncheon cereal with cream or rnilk ; 'or sprinkled over fresh fruit or berries, Grape -Nuts adds to the meal's pleasure --and EConornicat 111111111lifigrailSiliiihiligliii111111111110111Wilillilli01011111011111111Innielllitillnlillilliffilifilli11111110111111111111111111g111111111111111nlifililignigillif Buy from Ye:Ptir gttbeek, CLOTHES FOR THE SCHOOL BOY $15.116, 9161 . 9586—Boy's Suit • (knickeebocker trousers).

W. 0 -- Massacres Caused by Iron Shutters. Iron shutters' have probably caused more riots, massacres and pogroms in the Levant than political agitators, says a despatch from Constantinople. All shops in the, Near East are prca vided with roiling iron shutters, which work in iron grooves.. When they are banged down they make as much noise as a machine gun. Every time there is rumor of any sort of trouble some timid merchant slams down his shut- ters to protect his plate glass. With- out investigating the cause other mer- chants follow instantly with such clatter that the public becomes panic- ky and rushes about trying to discover the cause of the flurry. At such moments excited crowas will credit any rumor which is put in- to circulatiou. Pickpockets avail themselves of such opportunities. Soapbox oratore, street fakirs and magicians gather crowds by this de- vice. In any Turkish city the circula- tion of a rumor that a movement is to be started 'against Christians will cause all Armenian and Greek shops to close within a few minutes, and frequently the noisy closing of the shops fans the religious hatred of the Moslems into action, • A Small Price. At last little Freddy was allowed to visit grandpa all alone. They were great friends; and had long waited for the great day. Freddy had the time of his life. Grandpa saw that he wanted for mail- ing. The small boy ate more cream buns ht those -three days than he would otherwise have done in three years, while his pockets lugged all the time with sweets. But there comes an end to every- thing, and Freddy went home again, oide yellow of complexion, and lan- guid and feverish. Mother promptly sent for the doctor, who ordered him to bed, and sont him some veey un- pleasant, but doubtless healing, medi- cine. Grandpa came next day alai; was per- mitted to creep upstairs to soo how the sufferer was faring. He found the small boy lying wan and palo on his pillow, but received a watery smile as a welcome. "Oh, grandpa," said the weak little voice, "I've been awfully bad—but it was worth it!"

Although the traveller did not com- plain, she admits- that -she found his point of view consoling. Much to her amusement, it was her fortune short- ly afterwards to hear it emphatically echoed by an old Irishwoman who, loaded with bundles and baskets and carrying a live duck, missed a train. much as she had done, except that the old woman's run was a waddle, and what a bystander picked up for her was not a magazine but a squawking and flapping duck.
