Firmly ordered to keep quiet, "the result was no less disastrous. Seals have free-flow- ing tear duets. . . . Lora, over- come with frustration at not be- ing allowed to take part, sat with tears pouring down her face. Whereupon the sympa- thetic guests pleaded on her be- half and the other performers generously allowed her .to take the platform again." Lora also liked to meet the postman and bring the mail home, a proceeding that takes a long time and once is inter- rupted by a swim in the loch. Lora plays in the water with the otters, and even with the dog, Ben. She has races with a canoe, follows a boat at scam- mend, dives and retrieves ob- jects thrown into the loch, goes on picnics and plays the trum- pet, And, always spreads her macintosh on the floor when she comes home wet. Lora is, as they say, a pop pet. Equally playful and individ- ual are the two otters and even Rodney the rat. Rodney also goes on picnics and he knows six words (basket, out, raisins, nuts, roof, and Rodney). He is a kindly phlisopher. He and the others and-the squirrels and the dog, and Lord, all live in the croft together. Reading this in a train in Sur- rey, flanked by stockbrokers and flashing paet scores of identical back yards, each with white washing fluttering over patchy grass, it seemed almost too good to be true. Reading it in Scotland, however, with a mist on the hills and a 'strange dog looking up at the window and quite distinctly asking to be taken for a walk, it seem- ed just like plain common sense. I got up; went down the ho- tel stairs and found the dog waiting for me. I asked it, "Do you want to go for a walk?" It said, "Yes." It wagged its tail and set out at my heel. We walked over the Elie golf course together. The only sounds were the lark in the sky, the sea on the shore, and a wo- man singing in the distance. If we had suddenly encountered ,a seal playing "Bea Baa Black Sheep" on the harmonica nei- ther of us, man or dog, would have bought it unusual I'm sure. We didn't. But we might have.

Something New While browsing through the peed catalogue and waiting for the weather and soil to turn warmer, one should dote the new additions to the flower and vegetable world for the plant- ing season of 1957, Usually on a special page of the seed cata- logue will be listed brand „new varieties and noveltias, Among, these will be the All-America winners for this year. These are new _flowers and vegetables that in the North American field trials last year Were awarded the most points. In the vegetahle lines there are a whole' lot of improved productions. New, faster grow- ing and, crisper .radish, more tender carrots, new beans, beets and- corn. Over the years plant breeders have given us tremen- dous improvement in all vege- tables. Not only are the vatie- tiee grown today far more ten- der than those of a generation ago, but they are also much -1 earlier and more disease resis- tant. With these it is possible to have a good garden with much variety in areas where it was hardly safe to risk any- thing but the, toughest things before. This progress has meant more 'to Canada than most countries because our growing season is so short. Nursery Stock This is the name given to anything in the way of started plants, shrubbery, trees, etc., purchased from seed house or nursery. Handling this is an- other early job. Generally the earlier one plants perennials, shrubs, roses, vines, and trees in the spring, the quicker and surer they will grow. The main thing is to keep them moist and not to expose roots-to the air. Good nursery stock will be moist, and limber on arrival with plenty of dormant buds. If one can plant promptly so much the better, But if the ground is frozen or not ready make sure the roots are kept moist and cool, and the branches or stems are shaded, If it is go- ing to be several days or weeks before planting in permanent quarters one should "heel in", that is plant temporarily in a shallow trench, spreading out and covering, the roots. In transplanting nursery stock or anything else it is most im- portant not to expose roots to air but to cover quickly and firmly with fine soil well press- ed down and to make sure the ground about the ,roots is moist and stays moist for several days. Sweet Peas Sweet peas must be planted as early as possible if they are to do well. We can start just as soon as the last snow has gone and the soil is dry enough to dig without becoming muddy. One should follow planting di- rections closely; that is, sow in the richest possible soil and in a shallow trench. These plants musts get growth before the weather turns warm. For their roots, they love a good mulch of rotted leaves with some well rotted manure. On top, place a few inches of soil. Later on something to climb must be provided. Best materials for this are some of the branches the gardener will be pruning off his trees and shrubbery just now. Normally sweet peas will grow about' three to four feet tall, but in. Western Canada and some other areas where this plant really flourishes much more than this is common. When bloom starts these should be re- '-moved daily in order• to encour- age long stems and continuous blossoming. How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can, I remove the shine from a tuft of clothes?

It is difficult to believe that there was once a time when __fathers were distressed to dis- cover that their eons showed brilliant technical gifts, Yet this was the ease with young Karl Friedrich Christian. Ludwig, Baron. Drais von Sauerbronn, whose father was a court coun- cillor at Karlsruhe in Baden, Germany, toward the end of the eighteenth century The idea of a young man from an aristo- cratic family becoming anything 30 vulgar as an engineer was quite ,out Of the question and there were only two careers Open to him — the army and the civil service. Choosing 'the latter, he began to climb up the bureaucratic /adder slowly and painfully, from forestmaster's assistant to chamberlain. But one day the inventor' in him broke through the official hide of the courtier, Pn that day in 1813, the peo- ple of Mannheim were given a special treat. They saw twenty- eight-year-old Baron Drais rac- ing through the streets on the strangest vehicle they had ever seen. It was a kind of narrow car with two wheels about thir- ty inches in diameter, one run- ning in the track of the other, and connected by a wooden beam; the beam carried a small saddle on which the Baron was Fitting, his arms being supported by two little iron bars and his hands clinging to a wooden rod with which he steered the front wheel, He propelled himself by push- ing against the ground alter- nately with the right and left toot, almost like a skater . . . He was wearing a gray top hat, a green forest official's tail- coat, green trousers,and a shirt with neck ruffles and lace cuffs. The Mannheimers roared with laughter, but he went straight through the town on the road to Karlsruhe, which he reached some four • hours later—a dis- tance of fOrty miles.—From "The Prentice-Hall Book About In- ventions," by Egon Larsen. Scuthpav;, 1.1w re is A legend in baseball that left-handed pitchers are, figuratively, screwballs, This bellet, grounded on the bizarre behavior of a few southpaws, like many other legends, ignores dozens upon dozens of portsiciers who are perfectly normal. But the lefthender is out of step with the rest of the race, ,and that may ,account for .his Still, there are more, left- handers than you think. The U,S OfIlee of gducatiori has just finished a study of chil- dren and. their measurements as part of a prospectus fog "plan- ning and equipping schools," From a sampling of several thousand pupils they found that about one in.-, nine was , left handed, Itut in addition. Ito the frank left-handers there are others who might be described as partially left-handed. Of the right-handed; pupils 3.6 Per cent use their left hand for other manual activities than Writing. One-third of the left- handers write left-handed, and use the right hand for other manual activities. The high percentage of left- handed writers is important to schools in planning and equip- ping classrooms. For while the left-handed monkey wrench is a myth, the requirements of left-handed scholars, like left- handed baseball players, entail specially designed equipment. This high incidence of natural southpaws should .be good news to the latter, because ,they have always been treated as though, they were some special breed. One in nine is just about right to make them exclusive without being rare.—Hartford Courant, Things that are almost un- believable in England at once become credible in Scotland, I am thinking in particular of one of the most enchanting ani- mal stories ever written, Row- ena Farre's "Seal Morning." It seemed to me quite possible that this was a work as much. of poetic fancy as of literal fact —,until I read it again in Scot land. Now I am sure it is just exactly what it purports to be, a simple record written well. And written truly. "Seal Morning" is the story of a young girl and her aunt Miri- am living in a highland croft with a strangely assorted fam- ily of animals. There are two squirrels, Sara and Cuthbert; two otters, Hansel and Gretel; a nicely mannered rat called ,Rodney; and Lora the seal. Lora is the star. She plays the mouth organ, the trumpet, and the xylophone, She adores picnics. She loves humans. She is, all rolled into one, athlete, baby, musician, friend, and ham. She is taken to a "ceilidh," or Scottish concert, where friends, and neightbors perform forteach other's edification. Not, how- ever, when Lora is about. She. *will allow no performance but her own. "The guests started to arrive, Lora, ;the most sociable and ex- troverted of creatures, greeted them warmly. I suggested to Uncle that I should shut Lora into his study until it was her turn to perform. But he and several of the guests vetoed this suggestion at once. She must stay. "The singer smiled charming- ly and started off with a few notes of an old Hebridean air before the inevitable happen- ed; ,Lora raised her head and roared her way from a deep bass to a seal top C. Even a full Covent Garden chorus wpuld not have been able to compete with that, and the singer wisely gave up there and then." The theory was that the en- thusiastic seal should be al- lowed to perform first, Then having completed her act, it was confidently presumed, Lora would be willing to listen to others. The confidence was mis- placed. So in this hilarious scene we see the seal playing, among other pieces, "Where My Cara- van Has Rested" on the xylo- phone while perched on top of an upright plena and through- out the entire evening resolute- ly refusing to give wayp for any other performer. Shut up late in Desert Features The arid regions are indeed the, strange places of the earth. "The 'chief glory of the desert Is Its blaze 'of omnipresent light." Here the air is dry and thin, the scenery is colorful, strange, and fantastic in sculp- ture. • . . In humid regions the domin- ' ant color of the landscape is the green of vegetation; but the desert makes up for its-lack in this respect by the colors that come from the rocks themselves. These are browns, delicate gol- den' yellows to brilliant orange yellows, bright leather yellows to dark coffee browns, and the deepest of umbers. Most vivid of all are the shades of red which appear shortly after sun- rise and just, before sunset, when the shadows also are long- est and bluest. . . . Since ,evaporation in the des- erts naturally exceeds rainfall, the rivers are short-lived, and none of those originating there flow out as living streams. Great perennial rivers, like the Nile, or the Colorado, may flow through deserts, but they are fed from sources outside of the arid regions, either in humid climates or in the high moun- taihs, Desert lakes are also rarely permanent. After the extra- ordinary heavy rainfalls, the run-oft or sheet-floods will gather ih the hollows of the plains where they Make lakes, Usually but a few feet in depth, which are known as playa lakes because the deposits spread out thinly end widely by their muddy waters forin Monoton- Otis plains called playas, The sheet-floods also take up all the sells that have eitureeced on the surface, find ih the central Part of the playas these are de-, posited through the Anal eta- peration of the Water. There are, however,also permanent lakes without outlets, among them Groat Salt Lake in 'Utah; Pyramid Lake in Nevada, IVfOtict take in California ;• the Dead Sea in PalestiriN etc. --- Froth "The Harth and Its Ithythrets," Charles Schubert and.
