REVENGE THAT WAS COSTLY
Australian Farmer's Fancy Method of
Pest Destruction Could Hardly
Be Called a Success.
A farmer HvIiik near Boree Crook,
Now Son th Wales, whs greatly annoyed
by the depredations of n hnwk, which
nltnmt dnlly took toll among his chick
ens. Finally, after a good dead of Iron
bio, he succeeded In trapping the hlrd
nllve, and, smarting under his losses,
resolved tipon u really olnbornto re
venge. Procuring n supply of "gell"
(explosive), ho fastened It to the un
fortunate hawk's hg and attached u
long fnso to It. Then, having lit the
fuse, ho released the hlrd and waited
for It to fly Into the air to annihila
tion. However, the trick failed tp
work. Somewhat dnxctl, no doubt, by
tho rough handling It had received, the
hnwk'obstlnatcly refused to inovo from
a position near the door of tho
"humpy."
With tho fuse sputtering fiercely, the
farmer began to get uneasy, and he did
all In his power to scare this "feath
ered mine" awny, but at first with lit
tle success. Finally It rose in the
air but only to settle on his roof,
noar the chimney. Shouting and bom
bardment with stones anil slides alike
failed to move It from this position,
and with the perspiration streaming
down his face and his hair beginning
to stnnd on end the fanner was ulti
mately obllgwl to take to his heels for
his own safety. The bird sat doggedly
on the roof till the end enme; then the
luckless squatter, looking back, saw
roof, chimney 'and hawk go up In 6no
terrific explosion. I lo has now sworn
off all fancy methods of pest destruc
tion. Wldo World Magazine.
WHAT GIVES SKY BLUE TINT
Simple Explanation of Matter to
, Which Probably Few Have Given
Much Attention.
Not one person In a hundred could
give a satisfactory answer to the ques
tion, Why Is the sky blue?
And yet tho explanation, as given
by Profoasor W. II. Bragg, at tho
British Royal Institution, ,1s quite
simple.
Tim hlun elrv lin hyiiIiiIiiimI. Is dill!
-..- ,., , .. i -
to the Interception or particles In the
atmosphere of the blue rays which
form a part of the white light of tho
sun. The parts of white light con
veyed by longer red and yellow light
waves niauago to Jump tho ninny sub
stances In tho atmosphere and are
scon at sunrise and sunset.
Tho professor Illustrated his mean
ing by showing n disc of light on the
screen which, passing through a bowl
of water, became gradually redder as
tho water got cloudier, till at last,
after an Imitation of the sun in a No
vember fog, It faded away.
Professor Rraggohas also revealed
some of the mysteries or sound. If
you put a stick In u revolving bowl
of water, It sets up little whirlpools
behind It. In the samu way the wind
rushing past treus forms whirlwinds
on n small scale, and these cause
those sounds so admirably described
by tho Imitative word "soughing."
Similar sounds are sot up by telugraph
wires.
Tradition and Superstition.
Tho moon, of course, Is tho source,
or reason, or what you will, of many
superstitions. As one grows older pos
sibly the moon homines Iohs an object
of romance than formerly, but the
sense of bounty Is never lost even
though some otherwise sane people ob
ject, as long as they live, to seeing
the lovely now moon over their left
shoulder. Frankly, we do not know
tho reason of this fear. In the course
of a busy and. wo trust, useful lire wo
hnve never happened to hear tho rea
son, lint it is wen 10 assume una
there Is one.
Tradition Is Interesting; superstition
Is common. Perhaps we have too few
traditions In this country and too
many superstitions. Hut most of us
will proudly nftlrm that we' believe In
nil tho good traditions and In no su
perstitions whatever nnd maybo wo
all shall bo tolling tho truth. Ex
change. Tides In the Bay of Fundy.
Tho Hay of Fundy Is noted for Its
high tides. At the bond of tho bay a
rise of 02 feet is known, and In Pas
snmaquoddy bay, which indents Now
Brunswick near the border of the stato
of Maine, a rise of t!R feet Is not un
common. At St. John the rise varies
from 20 to 27 feet. At Moncton the
tide rushes up the estuary a crest or
wavo of water from l to fl feet high.
At most places the tide rises gradually,
hut not slowly, each wave rolling tip
on the shore a little higher than the
preceding one. There are two high
tides In every 21 hours. For Inslnnce,
say at 10 o'clock In tho forenoon and
30 at night, and on tho following day
tho two high tides will bo one hour
later, nnd so on.
Good Old Cheap Coal Days.
In tho good old days of 1812 one
could step out with a couple of dollars
nnd come homo with- food and fuel
eufllclont to supply a good-sized fnm
lly for a week. Facts regarding liv
ing oxpenses a century ago are con
tained In a lotler Prom John Sims,
gront-graiidfntlter of Admiral Sims, to
his wife. Molly, dated Unlontown, 15th
October, 1812. At that time, board
and lodging for two cost $11.50 a week.
Coal was 0 cents a bushel. Chickens,
stlU wearing their fenthers, cost 75
cents n dozen. Beef was from 3 to
8V4 cents a pound, while butter re
tailed from 12 cents a pound.
REBECCA PROPOSES
By GRACE O. WEATHERBY.
Hz
(A, 1920, by McCluro Nowipnper Syndicate )
The late afternoon sun streamed Into
the sKit!ess little kitchen of Rebecca
Mollis, a spinster, bathing the figure In
tlx rocking chair in a warm light.
Becky, as she was more often called,
rocked vigorously back and forth, the
ancient chair sending nut its protest In
nerve racking squeaks. But Becky's
thoughts were far nway. She was try
ing to decide Just what action to take
with Ben Abbott. Ben was the vil
lage postmaster, and as nice a innn
ns any woinnn could wish for. Becky
knew he thought n great deal of her,
ns he was a frequent visitor, and al
ways brought a gift of some kind with
hint but Ben was bashful. Night after
night he would sit there, silent, nerv
ously twisting Ids fingers, trying to
find something to say. Becky's pa
tience was sorely tried.
"I declare, Ben mnkes me tired; he
hasn't eiHUtgh gumption to kill a Ilea,
let alone make love to a woman. How
ever can I make hlni sneak?"
Suddenly the ancient chair came to
an abrupt standstill, and Its occupant's
back straightened.
"The very thing I" she ejaculated.
"It never dawned on me that this was
leap year I I'll ask lilin myself !"
Sho went to the telephone and called
Ben. "Conn1 over , to-supper tonight,
Ben. I want to ask you about wmic
thlng. Yes, at seven will do, . , .
All right, 'by."
With n beating heart she planned a
dainty supper, remembering the old
saying that tho quickest way to a
man's heart was through his stomach.
Promptly at seven Ben knocked at
the door, and his gray oyvs gleamed
at the sight of Becky In her fresh hlne
dress, her cheeks Hushed like a girl's.
Mutely he offered his roses, white ones,
perfect In tlujlr pale beauty. With a
little cry of gladness Becky burled her
face In Hie fragrant mass, and her
eyes filled with quick tears, for didn't
white roses mean pure love?
"Conie on to supper. Ben," she said,
briskly enough.
During the chicken salad and hot
biscuits Ben was very quiet, answer
ing her only In monosyllables, but his
gray eyes spoke volumes. The air
seemed full of suppressed excitement.
After supper Bon wiped the dishes,
with slow deliberation which was so
unlike Becky's quick movements.
Scarcely n word wns spoken. Then
with her heart beating fast? Becky led
the way to the fireplace in the cozy sit
ting room. After a moment's silence,
Ben said: "Becky, you had something
special to say to me tonight, didn't
you?"
The rich color Hooded Becky's
cheeks, but Ben did not notice it.
"Why, yes, Ben, I did. I wanted to
ask you If you . . . " sho coughed
and fell silent. The leap year pro
posal wasn't easy. Ben rose and took
a chair nearer.
"I suppose It Is downright Impor
tant,, or you wouldn't have asked mo
up here tonight, but 1 was coming, any
how, for I've something 1 wanted to
speak to you about myself."
Now. this was very unlike Ben, and
Becky fairly held her breath.
"Penur-ps I'd bettor have my say
first," Ben went on manlike, "and then
you can tell we what's troubling you,"
Becky nodded. "You know, Becky, my
term as postmaster runs out next
month, and I'm going to quit the Job.
I've bought a farm out on the Weston
road, a nice little place It is, too, and
I'm going to tear down the shuck that's
on the place now and build one of
them bungalows you know, u long,
low, rnmblln' kind of a house." lie
paused and glanced at Becky's averted
face. "Well, and so I went down to
Job Patterson's and he says he can
build right away, and I'm looking over
tho plans with him tomorrow, you
know, deciding whero to put the par
lor, and how big to make the kitchen,
nnd I was wonderln' If you'd care to go
along and sort of help me out. Women
have pretty good Ideas on this sub
ject. Want to go?"
Bocky faced him, bar brown oyos
very near tears or vexation, He hadn't
proposed, ufter all !
"Well?" said Ben, with asperity.
"What do you say?"
"Why, of course, Ben." she stam
mered, "I I'd love to go."
"All right then, I'll call for you at
2:!',0 tomorrow."
Then a silence foil. Tho clock"
struck nine with tantalizing delibera
tion. Becky wanted to throw herself
down on the bed and have a good cry.
"What was you wanting to ask me
about, Becky?" asked the man.
"Oh I nothing much, Bon. 1 won't
bother you with It tonight."
Another silence; Bon nrouo. "Well,
I must be getting along."
Becky, as per her usual custom,
went for his hat and coat, and as 'e
handed them to him the man ttm g
them tyilde with ntt exclamation nnd
caught Becky in his arms.
"Don't look so, Becky; you know
that house Is for you and me we'll
happy there, won't we? Don't you 111
the Idea?"
Such was Ben Abbott's proposal, but
the woman In his arms found It highly
satlsfuctory. It was after ten when
Bocky again banded Ben his bat and
coat. As he descended tho porch steps
lie stopped suddenly and came back.
"Bocky, what was It you wero going
to ask no about tonight?"
"Oh, nt thing much. Ben; 1 wits Jus.
going to propose to you. It's leap
year, you know. But you saved mo
the trouble,"
