4 STRANGE. FEAT OF NATURE — tall grass, shuts up*its flowérs at WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1928 - Certain Seede May Be Subjected to Intense Heat and Still Re. | tain Their Vitality. | ‘Amazing ways of enabling her | children to survive extraordinary -| hardships have been devised by mature. None of her ipventions has more wonderful powers'@f en- durance than the seed by!megns of which plant tife is curried on. You may subject certain jpeeds for hours to a temperature of 100 degrees below freezing it} you may heat them until they are hot enough to burn your hand, yet they will not lose their vitality. Great fires often rage thgough the forests, destroying mile yaffer , mile of glant trees. When the fire has passed there remains nothigg. but charred stumps and me- | carred, smoldering soil. Yet Wwit in a few months the whole district” will be green with the first leaves of the tiny seedling trees. , Recent tests to discover ‘the heat ut ground level during #’for- at fire’ disclosed that it was from 1,000 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The fires move so quickly that this intense heat lasts for only a min- ute or less at any spot. Various tree seeds were then tried to see what heat t could resist. It wag found that Mir cones could withstand a temperature of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit for elgtt “dbs without losing’their vital- ty. FEAST OF SAINT MICHAEL | arse ae { Fetival Was Figst Appointed by Pope Felix tl! in the Year 480. Michaelmas, the Feast of Satni | Michael and All Angels, occurs September 29. ‘The festival was first appointed by Pope Felix IIT in the year 480. In the Greek church it did not originate earlier than the Twelfth century, It was an old custom in England to mark the day by electing civi? magis- trates and that of guardian angels of whom Saint Michael was re- ported the prince. A more famous custom Is that of eating roast googe, the orlgin of which has long exercised the wis- dom of antiquaries. ‘The tradi- ional Michaelmas goose -has been Taced at least as far back as the tenth year of Edward 1V and it is said that one of the strongest ob- Jections of the\English commonalty o the reformation of the calendar as based on the confusion which would follow if Michaelmas, day was not celebrated when stubble goose are in their perfection. There is an old proverb that “If you eat goose on Michaelmas day, you will never want money all the year round.”—Detrolt ews. Pilot Fish, The pilot fish is a little fish well known to sailors from its peculiar habit of keeping company with ships and large fishes, especially sharks, It occurs in all tropical and subtropical seas, and is com- mon in the Mediterranean, but be- comes scafcer In higher altitudes, In summer pilot fish will accom- pany ships as far north as the soyth. coast of England into port. TR ancient seamen of the Medi- terranean regarded it as a sacred fish. They described it as a fish which pointed out the way to du- bious or embarrassed sailors, and by its sudden disappearance indi- cated to them the vicinity of land. The pilot fish accompanies both ; ships and sharks because of the supply of food which it desires from them. It therefore stands to both in the relation of a so-called “commensal,” like the sucker fish, and, like the sucker-fish, is never ~gttacked by the shark. The color- | ation of the pilot fish renders it | conspicuous at a distance, On a; bluish ground-color froth five to | seven dark blue or violet crogs- bands traverse the body. ~- | season Millions of " “animals | efluraan, Altes 8 gation for Existence.

KING RESTORES OLD TITLE Honor Taken From the Erskine Family in 1718 te Returned by Britieh Ruler. ipse of 208 years, the editary keeper of Stir ling castle, the ancient residence of the Stuart kings, has been restored by King George to the earl of Mer and Kellie. te This office was conferred on an ancestor @f the present earl in the year 1870 and held by the family with one break, till 1715. The then earl took sides with the Stuarts, and, being defeated at -Sheriffmuir, was deprived of his title. At the ceremony of restoration the earl presented his royal war- rant of office to the military com- mander of the castle and recelved in return the key on a red velvet cushion, Taking over the key, the earl said that King George had for- given the act which. had deprived the Erakine family, of .an .honor highly prized by it, and which had now been restored.—Detroit News, Boasts of Former Beauty. When you are, old and peace- fully settled behind your years it is a pardonable vanity to boast ot how beautiful you were as a girl. ‘The homeliest woman may do that. She may have a parchment cam- plexion, a nose drawn up at the corners and spread lke a bulbous knob at the end, thin lps that look | like a puckered stitching, a mere wisp of hair, eyebrows so sketchy that they show like rubbed-out lines above her faded eyes; still, she will toss her palsied old head, give you a pfoud logk and inform you that sbe was a famous beauty in her youth. She may, indeed, be telling the truth, because age does make astohishing changes in the human countenance. Nature seems to lose interest in you, once you have fulfilled your purpose. But my belief is that we only remem- ber how beautiful we felt when we were young, whether we were or j not.—Saturday Evening Post. Problem in-Mathematice.

Victor Hugo | had no sense of humor, and the | complacency with which he. looked | back upon his career arose’ from | a conceit that was even more cvy- | lossal than his genius. | Late in life some of his friends | were talking with him. and, of course, about him. One said. | “Streets ought to bé named after remarked, “Streets? | Paris ought to change its name and be called Victor Hugo.” Another added scornfully, “Par- is? Paris, after such a great man? No, indeed!
