Nature Reclaimed Island.
King Island, between the coasts of
Tasmania and the Australian main
land, has always been an arid waste
of aaad and other aonarable soil.
Some years ago, however, a vessel
was wrecked off the Island and a num
ber of the sailors mattresses, staffed
with the yellow-flowered clover, a kind
of grass, were washed ashore. A cer
tain quantity of seed was contained
among the staffing and In doe coarse
these took root and In the space of a
few years covered the sandy stretches
with rich verdure. Clover and other
legamlnona plants have the peculiar
capacity of fertilizing a waste soil,
owing principally to the action of bac
teria, thereby enabling the plants to
draw nitrogen directly from the at
mosphere. King island, previously a
waste stretch of sand, is now one of
.the richest grazing districts In the
Australian continent

For reasons
which doubtless
could be scientifi

man in the front
room of the house
next door,, while
it could be heard
In all parts oi
Bertha's home,
burst forth In full
eat volume
through the atone
foundations In a
way ' both sepul
chral and comic.
Bertha did not
know whether to
be affected to
tears or laughter,
but as she had
been on the verge
of collapse for
weeks, the tears
prevailed and she
leaned against the
cold stone wall to
weep.
When she re
turned to the
breakfast room,
where the family
was assembled,
her father could
be heard grumb-
linsrlv: "Tom
"You Can Be
TniiM"
Goodloe Is In pretty business disturb
ing the peace of the neighborhood this
way every morning. He deserves to
be muzzled."
Tom had told Bertha often that he
could not afford to marry on his
present salary, yet now he was rush
lag headlong toward matrimony with
the music teacher, regardless of con
sequence. Bertha was so nervous that
she took frequent walks In the park
to ease her feelings.
She was sitting on a bench one day
when she was accosted by the music
teacher with a demand for a few min
utes' conversation.
"Tom Goodloe," began the music
teacher, "used to be fond of you and
now I want you to coax him back. He
has proposed to me aad will not be
refused, he says, unless I confess that
I love another. Well, I do; bat to con
fess It to Tom la impossible, because
to have the engagement known now
might Injure the prospects of my In
tended husband, who Is studying fo
the operatic stage. He writes the
most pathetic letters, begging me to
take pity on his lonliness and marry
him. But we must wait until he has
proved himself a success, as I shall
convince him when he comes here
next week for his vacation. When he
arrives, I shall have my hands full
without Tom to complicate the situa
tion." Bertha's eyes flashed. "And you
made Tom a neighborhood jest for the
sake of the few dollars yon received
for his Instruction!" she cried.
"A poor music teacher must hold
her pupils as best she can," returned
her former rivar coolly. "I have no
father and brother to support me as
you have. If I have not taught Tom
to sing I've made him a more tractable
man than he waa when puffed up .by
your adoration."
Bertha rose, disdaining a reply, but
she heard the music teacher say: "My
secret is safe with you, I am sure.
Now that you know I will not have
Tom Goodloe you can be trusted to
do the rest"
While Bertha was forgiving Tom for
his period of hallucination he was, as
the music teacher had predicted,- very
tractable, so Bertha ' worked out an
Idea which had occurred to her in one
of the dark hours which she disliked
to recall. She Induced Tom to try
comic songs, and, his imitable accent

Atmospheric Changes.
Prof. Milne, the great British seis
mologist, has demonstrated that at
least part of the weather and changes

seems to come from below instead of
directly from the sun. He has been
in the habit of leaving an ingenious
photographic arrangement la quarries
at night. The photographic paper,
when examined later, was found to be
marked from time to time by dark
bands, black spots and what are called
slngeings. Some of these markings
occurred at the time of earthquakes,
but by no means all. Scientists say
that most minerals become luminous
at frequent Intervals. The cliffs of
Dover have been seen suddenly te
gleam and hilltops become visible In
the darkness. The conclusion is that
the disturbing forces which go on
even at the very center of the earth
are converted before they reach the
surface into heat and light and make
all manner of difference in climate
and weather.

known veteran doctor, "It la a general

many instances a physician may look
