In the swamp southeast of the village there is a bird that makes a peculiar noise sounding lskn someone driving a stake, so they call it a stake-driver.

There are forty-nine needle factories in the United States. It is estimated that about one-half the globe is composed of iron. There are in the world about 3,000,000 lepers, two-thirds ‘of them being Chin- ese. A safety lamp for mines using benzine for fuel without danger has been perfect- ed in Europe. Many of the ajrplane factories in Eng- land are turning their attention to the manufacture of toys. Cremation establishments, under . the control of the government, are to be found in all the chief cities of Japan. A TFrench chemist once collected enough human blood to make a finger ring, which he wore as a talisman. For the last seventy-five years Mass- achusets has led the world in the produc- tion and applieation of improved machin- ery in the manufacture of shoes. The state of Michigan contains 5,144 inland lakes, eovering an area of 1,114 square miles, besides a water-fron{ on the Great Lakes of 1,850 miles. The atmosphere is said to be so dry in certain sections of Argentina that a large bowl of water left uncovered in the morning i§ dry at night. A portable piano of full five-octive range but weighing only sixty pounds has been invented, the hammers striking tun- ing forks instead of strings. On the great plantation of an Ameri- can rubber company-fn Sumatra one of the chief difficulties of the plantation managers is to keep the sources of drink- ing water free from contamination. The 20,000 natives employed on the planta- tions show a. fine disregard of all the rules of sanitation that are second na- ture to an American or European. At a Chinese wedding the ‘“beggar chief” is-always invited. He brings a plate and begs from all the guests, but in return keeps all other mendicagts from the marriage feast. The beggar chiet of a big Chinese city makes as much as $15,000 to $20,000 a year, and out of this he pays the common or street beg- l[lr! to keep away from social gather- ngs. That trained nurses are being employ- ed in increasing numbers shows that; employers generally are recognizing their services. Previous to 1919, anly sixty- six industrial firms employed trained nurses. Today more than S71 industries have nursing services. The industrial nurse has proved to be a good invest- ment. She is a teacher of hygiene, and health education means pravention of accidents, which in years gone by have cost industry many thousands of dollars. NOANK The hands on the big clock outside the local Baptist church indicated that $20,- 000 has been pledged for the interchurch movement. Thig church, while it has not succeeded in getting the full amount ap- portione, has raised a higher percentage of the amount than any other similarly situated church that has been heard from. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Park were busi- ness callers in New London Thursday. The harbor was visited by a miniature cyelone Wednesday about 1 o'clock when a narrow belt of wind swept down the river just off from the ends of the docks, picking the water up in sheets and whipping it into foam. That there was congiderable force hehind the wind is proven by the accompanying roar which could be heard for some distance. On either side of this belt the water was calm, there being no more wind than at ‘Westerly, ‘Wednesday afternoon when Albert N.
