Oily Patral*.
Various sea birds, especially the pet
rels, contain a large amount of oil in
their tissues, and for this reason are
greatly valued by the Inhabitants of
the Scottish coasts, who obtain from
them "oil for their lamps, down for
their beds, a delicacy for their table, n
balm for their wounds and a medicine
for their distemper." On the Island of
St. Kilda as many as 20.000 birds are
killed In the one week of the year
when this killing Is legal. So rich in
oil are some of these birds that their
bodies can l>e used as lamps if wicks
are passed through them.? London

Nowhere else do die electrical dis

Intense and terrifying a character aa
on the summltt of high mountain#.
In August of lant year the laboratory
of the Society of Observatories, built
on the summit of Mont Blanc, waa
at ruck by lightning. with fatal resulta
to one of It* occupants. Tlila building
la of wood. rooff<! with sheet* of cop

The fatnoua Janssen oliservatory on
Mont Blanc waa re|>entodly atrnck. al

connected by cal'lc* to aome rock a a
few hundred feet dlaflint. This build
ing waa of wood and waa built on the
anow. The elTecta of the lightning
were extraordinary and appalling The
metal tableware waa frequently melted
or |>erforatod. The bolta and nuts In
the walla were melted, the woodwork
charred, and the metal cap of the large
telesi-oi* waa pierced with hole*.

two lioura and a half continued to

across the room, then retreat for a dls

shock to the persons present.
In 1W7 a series of lightning strokes
occurred one evening at nearly regular
Intervals of a few minutes Each
stroke produced a deafening noise ami
was attended bj sparks like fiery ser

THE SPREAD OF ALFALFA.
History of Ona cf the Oldtat of All
Cultivated l-orage Planta.
Alfalfa, perhnpa the oldest of all cul
tivated forage or hay plants, has had ?
history scap-ely Iwt Interesting than
that of the mnnv nations which have
utilized It. Those nations have pros
porod almost In direct proportion to
the extent to which they have used
It. The name "alfalfa" comes from
the Arabs and means "the l>ost fod
der," and In fact It appears to have
originated In Media or in some adja
cent country, as the folklore tales from j
lands on different sides of this area j
point toward Media as the placa
whence It came.
The wars of the Persian Invasion of
Greece took the plant to the latter
country about 5!*1 B. C.? It lielng the
custom for the advance emissaries to
precede the army and to plant fields
for the sustenance of the herds which
helped support the Invading hosts.
From Greece It adranced to Italy and
Spain by successive stages and was
taken to Old Mexico by the Spaniards
about 1510 A. n.
From tliei*? it was carried to South
America and later (1S.M* entered Call- j
fornia through the Golden CSate at the
time of the activities IncHlent to the
discovery of gold in that state. Thence
It spread over the Irrigated sections
and more recently has continued Its
march east wart! until now It Is by far
the most Important forage crop of such j

Trade At Home
J 1 is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade ?t home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against mail order business.
