Imagine n clrculnr lleld two and a half miles In diameter; plnce a library globe two foot In diameter In tho Very center: S2 feet away put a mustard seed. The globe would represent the sun and tho mustard seed Mercury. At n distance of 142 feet' place n pea, and another at 210 feet. Thcso will represent Venus and the earth, both as to size nid distance. A rath er large plnhead at a distance of f27 feet will speak for Mars, and n fulr- stzed tangerine n quarter of a mile distant will stand for Jupiter. Aj sninll lemon at two-fifths of a mile will play tho role of Saturn, n large cherry three-fourths of a mile distant will answer for Uranus, and a fulr Blzed plum nt the very edge of tho field will proclnlm Neptune. Eighty moons would be required to mnke one earth. A player thero could throw n ball sic times as far as It can bo thrown on American diamonds. A man weighing 150 pounds thero would weigh 000 on tho enrth. The earth re ceives as much light and heat from tho sun In 13 seconds as it gets from tho moon In whole year.

(CopyrlRbt, 1920, WeiUrn Newspaper Unlon-f "You have lost your position In the bank," spoke Norma Drury. "Oh, fa ther! how can thut be!" Martin Drury's head was bent low, he was pale and agitated and acted like a man who had received a heavy blow. "Not because of any dishonesty, Nor ma," he said, bravely attempting a smile. "Since I wns given charge of the securities cage my sulary has been raised and I seem to have pleased both Mr. Wardell, the president of tho bank, and the directors with my services. Today I carried all the Liberty bond packets to the desk of Mr. WnrdelLfor him to check up. He returned them an hour later. Then I was called to the cashier's desk on some business. When I returned to assort the packets one was missing No. 23. Mr. War dell's schedule showed he bad checked it, with the others. It was for $3,000. It was gone, nnd tho only fault found with me was that I had left the pack ets on my desk when hurriedly called by the cashier, instead of flrst placing them In the vault." "Then" "Somebody on the watch, it Is as sumed, readied through the wicket uud extracted the $3,000 packet." "And Mr. Wardell?" "Consulted the directors. He" was kind enough nnd Just enough to vouch for my Integrity, but said that I wus getting old, that I needeuVlesss respon sible work nnd has offered to retain me at a reduced, salary, but In an in ferior position. It is hard lines I" and the voice broke. "My pride my pride" - Norma came up to her father and twined lier arms about him. "Dear fa ther," she said tenderly. "1 shall give up my preparations to become a tench-, er. You have had mo help you so much with bunk work you have brought home evenings that I have practically learned the business, as you may say. "At all events we are responsible for a loss of $3,000. Together we will make It good." Thnt was the amazing proposition Norma Drury made to stern, systemat ic Martin Drury the next day. If the old financier was secretly moved by the llllal net and sacrifice of the loyal .iifurwr, came to Norma one day, Inter. "Miss Drury," he snld, "you have done ciinli fnltlifnl liotrtfiil ivnrk (lnrlni- tho 1 V " ! past year, that the bunk lias decided , to send you nway for a month's vnca-, tlon, beuring all expenses and your sal ary to run on the snme with a 25 per cent raise for next year." "You are very kind, but do I deserve it?" spoke Norma. "We think so," declared Sydney heartily, and Norma felt that he was genuinely sincere. It wns a rest she craved and enjoyed. The hnppy four weeks ended In a surprise. The day before setting out for her return she received a note from her father that considerably mystified her. It Informed her that young Wnrdoil would be at Leevllle the next morning on an auto mobile trip, nnd that he would call for her and drive her home. It was not strange that Norma fluttered nnd mar veled when the young man arrived next day. It was late afternoon when the car reached her home town. Young War dell drove around to the bank and halt ed in front of It. "There hns been something of n change In the personnel of the Insti tution since you went away. Miss Drury," he told her, and he pointed to a newly emblazoned window benring the two names: "Sydney Wardell, President: Martin Drury, Cashier." Norma stared, bewildered. "We were moving my father's old , desk lust week," sa(d Sydney, "nnd be-. . hind one of the drawers we found that , missing $3,000. Don't you think I was glad to award your djiar father what I he so deserves after all the years of j his faithful service?" : Norma broke down utterly. Insensl- j bly her tear-bedewed face pressed the I shoulder pf her compunlon. Lie thrilled j at ttie contact. Just then, a brilliant glint of sunshine Illumed the drab J western sky. ! "Look," Sydney snlrt, "a presage of gladness for all your future, I hope." ' anil she knew from the glow m this j clear, honest eyes that love actuated the sentiment. I Mahogany.

At fountain abbey, Yorkshire, Eng land, the yew trees were old when the abbey wns built, In 1132. Call fornia has a very ancient tree In Marl posa grove. This Is a "redwood," which Is credited with many hundred years. Baobab trees of Africa have been computed to be more than 5,000 years old, and n deciduous cypress at Chnpultepee Is considered to be of a still greater age. Humboldt said that the Dracaena Dracq at Orotova, on Tenerfffe, was one of the oldest In habitants of the earth. It Is In the coloring of the hives thnt the Lithuanian asserts his Individual ity.

Ono reason given why native Arab horses are generally exceedingly friendly and fearless Is that they are often brought up almost In the midst Of their owner's children, and ure used to being handled nnd petted from the time they are tiny foals. Whether this Is true or not, It Is certainly a good plan for anyone who has a pony to make friends with him.

Joint compensation daughter was each month to be re tained and credited on the loss ac count. If Mr. Drury felt humiliated by his reduction In working rank It was more than made up for In having Norma for company In the bank. He grew a lit tle more gray, a little more bent, but he was proud of his daughter and their mutual work for a noble object tilled I both with a high sense of duty sturdily faced. David Warden's health failed and he was ordered to a sanitarium for per manent treatment. A month later he died and his only1 son, Sydney, "was , summoned from college to take charge j of the affairs of the bank. He was n i bright, intelligent fellow nnd from the stnrt Norma nttrncted him. When ho learned nil the details of her connec tion with the bank there appeared a high order of respect and ndmlrntlun In his mannor toward her. He novor al luded to the loss of the bonds, but twice In the ensuing year lie advanced Mr. Drury in position and salary. Ho Chinese Paradise Fish. A little Chinese fish known as the paradise fish is remarkuhlo for Its brilliant1 coloring of crimson nnd blue. In the sunlight It shines In u rain bow glow of color. The dorsal fin ex tends from near the buck of the heud to the tall. The puradlse fish was first brought to France from China by M. Simon In 18G9, having been found In a brook nenr Canton. The most Interesting thing about this little i fish Is the nost made by the male for j tho reception of the eggs. It makes u little floating nest of glutinous-bubbles below the surface of tho water, nnd j measuring up to six Inches across. Hero It places the eggs, some 200 In , number, and mounts guard over them, I ow do you judge oil These are the things that determine the true cost of a motor oil: the protection it gives the motor against wear, economy in fuel consumption, the size of repair bills for operation and upkeep. Polarine stands high when judged by these standards. It cush ions all engaging parts with a wear-preventing film that keeps moving parts snug-fitting, working easily with little vibration or noise. Polarine has unusual stability under high engine heat. It assures a fuel-tight and gas-tight oil seal in the cylinders maintains full compression and delivers maximum power. Use Polarine and reduce motoring costs.
