Not even Mr. Grouse was to know where that nest was. “The only wu eep a. secret is to keep it says Mrs. Grouse. “As long as only one per- son knows it, it is u secre! 1wo people know SHE STOOD STOCK STILL TO AD- MIRE HIM and if it is, it won't be long. one is to know where my 5. That fs. no one is to know, if I can help it.” She spent cor about in the Gree: where she had nested before. Some- how they didn't suit her this year. Finally she decided that she would rather be near the edge of the Green Forest. o, when she thought no one was watching her he looked about near the edge of the Green Forest, until at last she found just the place she wanted. It was Ve Pl nt spot. The ground was covered with brown leaves that just about matched her brown cloak re was o big ires with just the place at the foot of it to put that mest. Some little pine trees were coming up all around, and she felt that she would be quite hidden there, and very much pro- tected. No one will think to look over here for my nest,” safd Mrs. Grouse, “because I have never nested here be. fore. It is a very nice place. I am quite sure I shall have no trouble here.” The more she looked the place over the better ghe liked {t.

Then, as she was returning from her breakfast she saw coming along through the woods Ringneck the Pheasant.

L. writes. “Will you please tell me at what age a child is supposed to be one-half of full height? Is this superstition or fact? T have heard it said that it can al- be proven. My baby is 2 years old and is 35 inches tall and weighs Answe! It is supposed that at 2 years of age a child is one-half his full height when grown. I really can't say {f this is scientific or not. At that rate your child would be § fect 10 inches when grown, which is a good average height. Now that we take measurements of our children yearly no doubt the truth or falsity of this will be evident within the next 15 or 20 yea ‘Bumps. Mrs. M. T. writes: “The other day my 14-month-old baby had a slight fall and received a bump on his head. It was nothing serious and It swelled a little and became black and blue, After I had rocked him for a few minutes he fell sound asleep. Since then several persons have told me that & baby should never be allowed to go to sleep after recelving a bump, that it always makes them sleepy but that they should be forced to stay awake for a while anyway. Will you explain why?" Answer.—You have proven by vour experience that In the case of slight bumps the child suffers no harm at all by going to sleep afterward. might be impossible, in the case of a serlous accident, to discover the full extent of the injury if the child were to go sleep. This sleep i anxiety for the time being und the sleep would be only the coma follow- ing severe shock. 1 know of no other reason for being fearful of cakes it is ull that is necessary to make the baby feel as .

Answers to these questions in tomorrow’s Star. Artificial Diamonds. ‘The idea of making dilamonds arti- ficially has haunted as many minds as the tdea of making gold from lead, or producing perpetual motion. While working with sand and carbon at high temperatures, in 1891, the American invente Acheeon, obtained - dentally some crystals of amazing and beauty, which, owing to the that diamonds are only allized carbon, caused it to be believed he had FEXTURES. discovered how to make diamonds. He took his crystals to a jewelry firm and asked the jewelers to tell him what they were. They pronounced them to be diamonds. On his way home, while his train was about to pull out of a station, a shot s fired through his window, just missing his head. The inventor is said to have believed that the feweler, fearing artificial diamonds would lower the price of diamonds and ruin the trade, had sought to have him assassinated. There was not a word of truth in this bellef, and as it turned wut, Acheson had discovered, not dia- monds, but a substance as marvelous and useful, namely.carborundum, one of the most va.lunzle products of mod- ern times.
