If the earth Weren't surrounded by protecting blankets of atmos- - phere, which absorb. the whizzing stars, life here would be destroyed, Eighty thousand photographs of the 'heavens have been taken by Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard observatory, to deter- mine the above facts,, A Toad Story One day, my fathor,,sieter,, and I were out in the, garden, watching a little toad. My father took a„. little sick, and very, very gently scratched one gide of the toad and then the other. The toad seemed to like it, for he would roll Prem side to side and wink, I was so interested that when: they went in, I took the stick, and did as. my father had done. I thought If he rolls from side to. gide as I 'touch a him, What would be do it I ran the, stick down iris back? I did so; and what do you think happened? His skin, which was thin anddirty, parted in a neat little seam. There was a bright, new coat be- low: - Then my quiet little toad showed how wise he was. He gently and carefully pulled 'off his outer skin. He took it off the body and his legs first, and then, blinking• over his eyes, till where had it gone? He had roll- ed it into a ball and swallowed .it.- . Sea Birds The question is often asked, "Where do sea birds obtain fresh water to slake their thirst?" But it has never been 'satisfactorily' answer- ed until recently. An old skipper has told how he, has seen these birds at sea, far from any lana that could furnish them water, hovering around and under a storm -cloud, clatterin like ducks on a hot day at a pond, and drinking in the drops of rain as they fell. They will smell a rain squall a hundred miles distant, -or . even further off, and scud' for it with almost inconceivable swiftness. How long sea birds' can exist with- out water is only a matter of conjec- ture, but probably their powers of enduring thirst are increased by habit, and possibly they go without water for many days, 1f not for sev- eral weeks. Temper Sign Boards In a Japanese temple there is fix- ' ed a wooden frame filled 1n with nails. Wben_.a man Is vexed with anyone, instead of going to harm the person, he pays the 'priest a certain sum of 'money for a nail and drives It into the frame. In this way he re- lieves his temper without doing muck harm. It would be a good idea to have similar frames fixed up in our nurseries, sothat when little boys and girls were inclined to be a trifle naughty they could take some nails and hammer them Into these frames till all the bad temper disappeared. Energy The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced' that that which makes the difference between one man and another, between the weak and pow- erful, the great and -insignificant, Is energy, invincible determination, a purpose once formed, and then death or victory.—Powell Buxton. Belief in Self To believe in oneself is the mark of a wise man. To believe only in one- self is the, mark of a bore. To believe. only in others is the mark of a futile. Idealist.

Mond Up to 43 The buying that carried Mond Nick The buying that carried Mond Nickel up to 43 when the big rush in the market was on is attributed to have come from London. In view at this, the puzzle remains unsolved,as to why the stock bas sold off to 31, with International at around. 175. The apparent answer is that Mond and International Nickel will get share and share alike in the ,new company to be formed, after International Nickel shares have been split 6 for I.. This would mean,' of course, that Inter- national sharps . should sell at a price six times that of Mond. While International shares are hold- ing to -day around 175, Mond shares have been moving up gradually and went above 33 recently. If Lon- don interests, and they were import- ant; were not .entirely fooled, there may be something left unsaid. Suppose that when the basis of the merger is announced it was found that Mond shareholders would be given 13y shares in the holdingcom- pany for each share held and Inter- national shareholders 1 split share. This would mean that Mond shares should -have a valuation of something better than 43. The matter of a basis for the mer- ger raises another question. Is In- ternational Nickel asit stands to -day worth • 6 times as much as Mond Nickel, having regard to physical as- sets, earning power net current as- sets, plant and capital, etc. If a Carnegie or a LQfierhulTfid•:b8-- Lret a "fafftlly • of • sono 'Who inherited their father's ability, all the wealth of the world might soon be in a Very few hands -J. 1). aerotiford,, A stitabttoi inolfiopo lot 1"a'ati "Billion tvhd eitull9eds in occupying both arms et lilt theatre seat.

Teck Deep Program Well Advanced It will be about six months before Teck -Hughes starts the aotuaI open- ing up of its ore zone on the six new levels, 20th to 25th, inclusive, accord- ing to the Northern Miner. The shaft is now down below the 21st level, large 40 -foot stations have been cut at the 20th and 21st levels and at the present rate of progress the first stage of the present shaft sinking program should be completed in five :months. On all the levels the zone can largely be looked for less than 100 feet from the shaft. At the 19111 level the ore was 90 feet from the shaft and it is expected that it will be about 200 feet on the 25th level. Tho 25th will be a little over 3,000 feet verticg"1 depth. Below the 19111 level a crushing sta- tion and Ioading facilities were pre- pared for during shaft -sinking.

I was continually weak and tired; my appetite was poor, my sleep unrefresh- ing and I was troubled with backaches. To make matters worse I was attacked with acute appendicitis and the oper- ation left me in a very weakened state.

No other can lure him away from his side; He's proof against riches and station and .pride; Flue dress does not charm him, and flattery' breath Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death; He sees the great soul which the, body conceals— Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels', It's a fact.
