An old belief was that the Seven days preceding the shortest day of the year were used by the birds to build thelr nests, which, it was thought, floated off.on the water, and the seven days following were de yoted to hatching the eggs. During that period, “the halcyon days,” the j ancients believed, the sea was always calm, That is. why the word “hel- cycn” Is used to deseribe calm, peace- ful days. The power of quelling storms was believed to have been conferred upon the kingfisher by Aeolus, the wind god, who made this dispensation when his daughter, Alcyone, and her hus- band, Cyex, were changed Into king- fishers. The kingfisher, from a perch some- times as high as 50 feet above the water, does a sudden dive, seizes a luckless fish in his long beak, files back to his perch, tosses the fish into the air, catches it again coming down, and swallows it head first. NOTHING TO BE SORRY FOR As Is Here Pointed Out, There May Even Be Advantages In Having a Swelled Head, We often hear a so-called swelled head mentioned as if it were a thing to be deplored, Yet what could give the proprietor more joy than a swelled head? Imagine the satisfaction of waking up in the morning and looking at the sunshine with the ‘thought; “Well, well, there’s the old sun up again to do me homage. Good old sun to light up the world mostly on my account. What a great fellow I am! Well, I'll start out now and give a lot of folks a treat by talking with them, No use being a great chap like me and keeping myself all to myself, I'll put on my new clothes and add all the joy I can. Everybody who comes into contact with me {ts ‘bound to be better for it.” “Why feel sorry for a fellow like that?” asks a writer in Collier's. Who could possibly get more fun out of life? True, he may be gaining his satisfaction on a false premise, But then how many of us can prove that our scheme of life is free from flaws? The man with a swelled head Is a joy to himself and a constant source of amusement to his nelghbors. Perhaps we should envy him instead of feeling sorry for him, Curious Feat of a Steeplejack. In felling a tall tree it is usual to cut through the trunk at the base and then to let the tree fali with a crash, or by means of ropes to ease its descent In a given direction. At Rose Hill, California, a tall euca- lyptus tree, 180 feet high, has been cut down from the top. A steeplejack was engaged to do the work, and he climbed almost to the top, and began to cut off a ten- foot length, The section had a rope fustened round it before it was cut through, and when it was separated the steeplejack lowered the section to the ground, Then he proceeded to cut another ten-foot length In the same way, and so on until the whole tree had been ielled, The work took nearly a week. The tree was closely surrounded by buildings. If it had been sawn through below there was nowhere for it to fall without doing damage to surrounding property. Advice to Obese, Your stomach long having been used to caring for more food than your system needed, is enlarged, and when you eat moderately there are the wide open spaces longing to be occupied. That is why you still feel hungry and unsatisfied. Now if you will go on a three-day liquid or fruit diet, not totaling over |! 500 or 600 calories a day, this will re- duce it to {ts normal size and very much less food than you have been used to will satisfy you. Then you+4 ean easily go on your reduction diet as though it were a feast. For these shrinking days I advise about 100 calories every two or three hours during the day. You will lose from five to ten pounds during this perlod and it gives you a glorious start. After that it is not wise to lose over two pounds a week.—Health Bulletin. Not All He Expected, A youth who had accomplished a good deal in football, but little in his studies, was dropped from one pre paratory school and immediately in- vited to enter another. He had been there but a few days when he met a member of the faculty, “Well,” sald the professor, “how do you find it here?” “Pratty fair,” sald the boy. “That’s good, Find it smooth going, eh?” The boy reflected. “Well, I shouldn't like to say that exactly,” he remarked. “The field's sort of rough yet in places, sir.”—Philadelphia Ledger. A Mean Trick. In Boston a young lawyer, who spent most of his time trying to seem busy and prosperous, went out for a while, leaving on his door a card neat- ly marked: Africa Shy of Radium. The world must come back to Colo- rado for its radium. Dr, C. H. Viol of the Standard Chemical company’s research laboratory says that the two ounces of this precious element esti- mated to be the total quantity In the rich mineral deposits of the Belglan Congo, are only enough to supply the world for about three years. These African radium ores discovered in 1918 have been found to be much richer than the deposfts in this coun- try and the cheaper. production made possible by the fact has already caused a drop in ‘the market price from $100,000 a gram to $70,000 a gram. Unless richer deposits are soon found elsewhere, the world will again be dependent for its supply on the ores In our western states, Rio Grande Rectification, As a result.of destructive floods In recent years, it is seriously proposed to undertake extensive alterations in the river channel in the El Paso dis- trict. Progressive rise of the river bottom. and the water table in and around the clty have now reached the point where very moderate flood stages in the stream entail heavy property losses. A scheme is outlined for short- ening the channel, by straightening, to such an extent that a materially sharp- er run-off may be obtained, The ne- cessity for securing the Mexican gov- ernment’s approval and perhaps even co-operation is apparently the chief ob- stacle, though the engineering difficul- tles are also such as to call for thought.—Sclentific American, NOTICE OF SHERIFF’S SALE UNDER AN ORDER OF SALE.
