Ile always considered just what he would do, And would hope something better to fled; But the more that he thought, more uncertain he grew, And he never could make up his mind, Quite often he might have got on the flood tide, And havo ridden to power and wealth; But be never felt able at once to de- cide That the damp wouldn't injure his health. If Fortune would knock at hie door he would wait, To her becks and her smiles he was blind; If he opened or followed 'twos always too late, For be never could make up his mints. So he's plunging along, ways in doubt Whether this plan thing; But the chances that come never lin- • ger about, Being birds that are strong on the wing.

How will airships be anchored? General Maitland, the Admiralty senior airship officer, who took part in. the R. -34's Atlantic crossing, re- cently gave the following explanation, says a London newspaper. "We hope that in time," he said, "an airship arriving, say, from New York at an English terminus, will come over a single mast under her own power, drop a coupling, and be connected up by one or two men on the ground to the coupling inside the mast. Then the airship will be pulled down by a winch to the top of the mast, and the passengers will go down the mast in a lift." Steel towers are now being con- structed from which it will be possible to supply airships moored to them with fuel, water, gas, and goods; and crew and passengers also will be able to go aboard from the towers. The completed mooring -tower will be about 150ft. high, and will be built of steel lattice -work. ' It is being furnished with a revolv- ing head. To this the airship will be closely moored, bow on, and floating clear of the ground, the vessel will be able to swing round in accordance with the direction of the wind. An airship making for the tower will send out a wireless message an- nouncing her intention, From the tower head a wire cable will be drop- ped to the ground and there picked up by a man who will enter a small car and drive ,away some 300yds. A second cable, weighted with sandbags, will be dropped from the airship when a ground signal has indicated the point at which it will bo picked up, and the two cables will be coupled. The airship will then be hauled in, assisting where necessary with her own power, and when she has been moored it will be possible to uncouple the cables and rewind them. The air- ship will be released automatically from the mooring tower by mechanism controlled by one magi, so that from first to last, apart from those on board, not more than three men will be need- ed to bring a dirigible to port and send her out again. Real Trade Secrets. There are at least two trade secrets which have been so jealously guarded that they have remained close secrets for hundreds of years, and may never be known to the world at large. One Is the Chinese method of making the bright and brilliant color mown as vreriniilion., or Chinese red, ante. tire other is a Turkish. secret the inlay- ing of the hardest steel with gold or silver. imo g the Chinese and Turys these two secrets are guarded well. Ap- prentice's, before they are taken for either trade, are compelled to swear an iron -clad oath to reveal nothing of what passes in the workshop. They enlist also belong to families of high standing, must pay a large sum of money as a guarantee, and must fur- nish certlficatee of good character,' and honesty.

There is peace to be found in the val- leys and calm in the shelter of trees, And millions of people are happy in. clalining such pleasures as these. The man that is proud of his children owns more than ,the man with his gold, And he that has chummed with the songbirds has found a delight he can hold; There are millions of ways to be hap- Iry, too many by far to recall, And who lives but for gold and for sig-. ver has chosen the poorest of all. - Peopling the World. The present population of the world does not exceed 1,000,000,000. With an even distribution of people, rela- tively to area and soil productiveness; the planet on which we dwell might support 0,000,000,000. But the distribution ,is exceedingly uneven. In India and China there are so many human beings that the failing. of crops even slightly below the nor- mal for a single season means famine, bringing death to multitudes'. A prime cause of the age -long turmoil in :Europe is overcrowding, which makes frequent wars inevitable. There is plenty of room in. Africa and South America, when the conquest of the tropics (mainly a matter of dis- ease elimination) shall have been ac- complished. The latter continent - 1 o -day relatively vacant territory for the most part—especially invites popu- lation, because, save in the far south, it is so'bouuteously watered. • Was Columbus First? The popular belief that Christopher Columbus was the first to discover America, in 1492, has had another shock. The theory that Buddhist missionar- ies first visited America in the fifth century was put forward some years ago by Professor John Fryer. Hieroglyphics have now been dis- covered on the foundation stones of the pyramids of San Juan Teotiltuacan, in Mexico, which are stated to be similar to symbols used in the Chinese language. These lend color to Pro- fessor Fryer's beliefs. He paints out that from early times the Chinese classics, as well as the historical, geographical and poetical works, allude to a country or continent far to the east of China, under the name of Fusang or Fusu. The narrative of only one visit to Fusang is on record in Chinese history —that of Hui Shen, a native of Cop- hene or Cabul, the centre of Buddhist missionary activities in early times. The narrative states that Hui Shen, in the year 499 A.D., during the reign of the Emperor Yung Yuan, came from the country of Fusang to Kingehow, the capital of the Dynasty of Tsi. He was treated by the Emperor as an en- voy, and one of the principal feudal lords- was deputed to interrogate him concerning the country and to take down his history' in writing. All the descriptions given of the country of Fusang and its people and their customs nark them as applying to the Pacific Coast in. general, and to Mexico in particular.

The calla lily, which was cultivated on a large scale in Egypt, and prob- ably in Palestine, thousands of years ago, was and is grown as a food plant. It .develops underground, fleshy tul3,ers that somewhat resemble : potatoes, though more elongated in shape. With preliminary boiling they may be cook- ed for the table by frying, baking, or in any other way that potatoes are cooked. Large areas are nowadays devoted in Florida to the culture of the calla for its tubers. It grows admirably in swamp lands that are useless far other purposes, the yield of a single moist acre being enormous. In olden tinges, in Egypt, calla tubers were one of the most important food crops. They were .grown over extensive areas in each annual season of the Nile's overflow.

Are you not hap- py to know I love you?" She: "Oh, 710, dear, it's not that. I am. crying from pure joy, Mother has always told me that I was such an idiot that I wouldn't get even a don- key for a sweetheart, and now I've got one, after all!" Good Example. A little Ontario girl who had a ban- tam: was disappointed at the smallness of the first egg laid by the bird. Her ideal egg was that of the ostrich, a specimen of which lay on the table in the parlor. One day the ostrich egg was missing from its accustomed place. After a prolonged search it was found near the bantam's nest, and on it was written these words: "Something like this, please. Keep on trying." 'Vancouver would be famous if it had only the attraction of "Stanley Park," was the opinion of au English tourist who had circled the globe. That peerless playground of 1,000 acres of virgin forest, with many acres of priceless waterfront and over six miles of marine panorama of park foreshore, is the greatest municipal park on the continent. It is fringed by English Bay which abounds with mirrored reflections of forest trees and birds of every shade and plumage bank on the surface. No bulwarks or ocean wall mars the beauty, no roar- ing billows disturb tranquility, but there is all the beauty and majesty and novelty of its placid surface with a soft calling of the waves. The park is picturesque with its magnificent firs and cedars, and is largely in its natural state, yet with touches of the conventional in that it is encircled by a perfect motor road which affords the pleasure of enjoying the innumerable points of interest in this, wonderland.

One can scarcely imagine a greater contrast titan playing a banjo in a crowded meeting in the heart of Lon- don, and giving a performance in the icy atmosphere of the Arctic regions. At the hundredth lecture given by Sir Ernest. Shackleton, when he told the thrilling story of his last polar expedi- tion, he intro'du'ced some of his old colleagues, and insisted on the produc- tion of the old banjo which played so .great a part in keeping 'up the spirits of the men Who were marooned on Elephant Island for a dreary four and a half months. At an informal gathering after the lecture some of the old songs were sung and specimens given of the im- proreptu ditties that helped to pass away the time and amuse the men the tale of whose fortitude end patience is bola listened to by thousands of people from the"4„5hiolted seats of the Philbartnonic Hall in London. Sir Ernest Shackleton tells his ad- venture in simple, homely language, with a sense of humor that is a relief to the thrilling story. The penguins, in the pictures, all unconscious of their London audience, behave in their usual amusing way, familiar to stay-at-home people who love to roam the world by the help of more adventurous spirits.
