Persons who have made, pedestrian tours through the !Alps always recall the vivid beauty . of the mountain flowers. • Comparis•ons made by Dr, Furey show that the superior purity and splendor of floral capes in the Alps are not imaginary, or a mere .ef- fect of contrast. The reds, blues and yellows of the mountain blossoms. are much more'intense than those oe the seine species of flowers grown at or- dinal levels. The leaves, Also, have a deeper and richer green, and micro- seopic examination shows that chloro- phyl is -more abundaet in Alpine plants than in those of the plains.. Onetact which seems quite natural, yet is very interesting, is that on the mountains plants have relatively smaller aerial organs and larger sub- terranean ones.Thus a graceful flower vbich in the plains is seen nod- ding at the summit of an azapiring_steif, will be toured high on the mountain slopes hugging the sale anchored by compturatively heavy roots, and beam- ing up with accentuated beauty from the ground. • i A Sacrifice Worthy of the The word . sacrifice' • wins new meaning when we thihk of the story that is told about the three hundred children who were selected to receive the charity of an AArmeniein orphan- , age. So small an amount of food had reached the American relief workers in charge ofbe orphanage a.oethat they could give easiest nothing even to the three hundred. Each child got only a small piece of bread .and a few wal- nuts twice a day. The course thestood did not nearly satisfy their hunger, but it was enough to keep them alive. When the children learned that w c there wre hundreds more in the -near- by villages who could receive nothing at all they voluntarily gave up the walnuts. Before each meal they drop- ped their nuts' into a sack in one cor- ner of the room, and when it was full some one of them 'would carry it to the' frantic crowd in the street. Could there be a generous sacrifice than that? 1' ,, i � r�.I 'er's- f. 400*,a.*-Se{ <, a,. 1,0 p✓ � .., r 'Rei 9`” '11447' .rte WILL 'HARDfN'G BE MORE SUeCESSFUL7 Morris, in the.

In the iblixican State of Sonora on the Headwaters of the Rio Mayo, is the ancient mining village of Tyopa, which in early days was famous for the sweet -toned bells cast there from copper procured in the neighboiihiood. It: was from Tyopa that chimes of bells were obtained for meny missions on the Pacific Coast, and from the same source came bells that were hauled by .ox teams across the desert I to mission settlements in Arizona and , New Mexico. There was one such set- ticu::rnt at Sitla, Alaska, establ�ishecii by Franciscan monks, which got its chime of bells from Tyopa.

There continues the discovery' of asteroids or minor planets, especially with the aid, afforded by celestial p'hotcgraphy. Among a vast multitude of stars . crowding a photographic , plate one, perhaps, will be seen to have.. drawn a :short thin line on the plate during its hours of continuous exposure. The astronomer knows at once that it is either an asteroid or a coanat. Subsequent observations soon decide the point.

Encouragement of this form of exec - else' is offered by the novel invention of a•.New York woman. It is a pair of mechanical grasshoppers, to be worn on the feet. Thera&slao ers of g pP , giant size, are put on like a pair of shoes, and fastened.. by straps and buckles to the child's feet. They have legs of spring steed, terminating in rings which hold rubber feet. A child equipped with these grasshoppers can hop, skip or jump much mole actively and can get over ground quicker, while the rubber feet lessen the shiock of alighting and give a delightful sons•e of lightness Pi ph d. els' Wei t Mori STILL LEARNING I keep on reading, reading, until my eyes are sore; my dome. of thought I'm feeding with new and ancient lore.

The last issue for this academic "The year of Varsi tY," the under- graduate newspaper of the University of "Toronto, contains a list of the out- side activities of the .provincial uni- versity. From this ;report it appears is Join • that Ontario's universityg a large amount of special work fox the general public and without remunera- tion of any kind. Though admittedly hendicapped by lack of funds, the re University of Tor nto seems to be making a successful effort to serve its constituency in an adequate way. The list referred to includes a large number of interesting lectures that were open to the public free of all cost; in this list also are several im- portant conferences to which the pub- lic were invited and also a number of short courses for which only a nom- inal fee was charged. From the re- port on University Extension it also appears that the same service is being rendered in the rural districts and that the people of Ontario, in country as well as in city, are anxious to take advantage of the resources of their own provincial university. At a time when public interest in education "shows signs of such a marked revival, it is gratifying to know that 'the Uni- versity of Toronto is satisfactorily meeting this quickened interest. Germany Seeking Revenge. "L'Action Nationale" publishes a let- ter from Mayence in wiich •its correc- pondent say's: • "All the German will is strained to- ward the anost ra,pid preparation for the war of revenge. It is sufficient to observe seriously and attentively the industry of the Reich. "In seven mouths of this year thir- teen factories of Westphalia, West Prussia and Bavariahave produced. 2,748 agricultural tractors of the small German type 01 1918. These tractors, which are too heavy for agricultural purpcses, are intended for war, for in twenty minutes' they can be -trans- formed into tanks, Protecting plates and screens are constructed and are always in proximity t0 the place where the pacific 'tractor' draws the agri- cultural machine." . Everest Again. The attack on Mount Everest in the Himalayas, the apex of the earth, is about to be resumed. It• is a mistake to call the attempt t of 1921 a failure, , unless the terns '.is qualified carefully. Though the highest point reached was about 23,000 feet, the reconnaissance has been accomplished which must pre- cede the eventual triumph.
