Crow “Helped" In Golf Gem#,
An unusual golf story comes from
Scotland. Mrs. Barnett, an American
lady living at North Berwick, while
playing on the course recently, had
her gome considerably Interfered with
by a persistently inquisitive crow. She
had Just made a tee shot when the
crow secured the ball, and, after flying
with It for some distance, dropped It
The lady made two other shots, and
the crow, to her amazement, twice re
tuy>ed and lifted the ball after ahe
had played It.
Arrested at Child’s Grava.
A pathetic scene took place at a

a French couple, who had been ex

reading the burial service, the detec
tives informed them that they would
be conducted to prison, but they were
allowed to remain until the end of
the ceremony.

CALLED LOW CLASS OF ART |
Sweeping Indictment of Music ^ to
Which Song “Home, Sweet Home”
Has Been Set.
Though the oldest piece of English
music in existence, "Summer is icu- ;
men in’’ is quite modern in compari
son with a score of the “Orestes of
Euripides, dating from the fourth cen
tury H. C., which was exhibited at the
international exhibition of music at
t Vienna some years ago. Even more
I ancient is the chant “The Ulessing of
I the Priest,” which was sung in the
| temple of Jerusalem before the captiv
1 ity, and is still in use in the Jewish
' synagogues in Spain and Portugal.
“Home, Sweet Home”—the song of a
homeless American—once moved Rob
I ert Louis Stevenson to an outburst of
passionate protest. Hut it was the
music rather than the words that
roused his Indignation. You will find
the passage in “Across the Plains”:
I have no idea whether musically this
air la to be considered good or bad:
but It belongs to that class of art
which may best be described as a bru
tal assault upon the feelings. Pathos
must be relieved by dignity of treat
ment, declares an English writer, if
you wallow naked in the pathetic, like
the author of “Home, Sweet Home,”
you make your bearers weep in an un
manly fashion, and even yet while
they are moved they despise them
selves and hate the occasion of their
weakness.
PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American Frigoriflcos Will Soon
Be Turning Out an Immense
Supply of Food.
A frigoriflco is a freezing plant in
South America. It is a plant that
freezes fat cattle or sheep or lambs
and sends them in refrigerated ships
northward to Europe. Perhaps later
they will send them to the United
States.
On the Island of Tierra del Fuego,
far south to the jumping off place,
sheep get very fat on the good grass.
Incredible as it may seem, a short
time ago fine fat sheep were boiled
down for their tallow. Now a mod
ern frigoriflco is prepared to kill them
and send them north of the equator.
There is another of these newly erect
ed frigoriflcos at Rio Gallegos, an
other a little way up the coast at San
Julian and other new ones are at
Bahia Blanca.
These frigoriflcos make possible the
directing of a great stream of good
lamb and mature mutton northward,
and we here may expect to see it
come, sooner or later. Cattle are not
killed at these southern frigoriflcos,
but farther north, near Buenos Aires
and in Uruguay are great establish
ments that kill chiefly cattle. To facili
tate the getting of sheep to the
frigoriflcos the government is build
ing the Patagonia state railways, lead
ing to the interior.—Breeders’ Gazette.
Ownership of Land Accretion.
The title of an owner of land to any
accretions to the land was the ques
tion presented to the supreme court
of appeals of Virginia in Eggborn vs.
Smith, in which Interesting decisions
on the point Involved are cited. In the
Virginia case the plaintiff's huBband
tor a consideration permitted a rail
road company to deposit rock and
earth on land owned by him during
double-tracking work, under contract
that all such material not removed be
fore the work was completed should
remain permanently. The owner exe
cuted a deed of trust of the land with
out serving the material so deposited,
Rn^ nn a ilnvr ♦ L a amam a«S«* «..a a aaIjI
under foreclosure of the trust deed
he attempted to convey the material
as personalty to the complainant? The
court found that the complainant had
made no claim to the property until
tive years after its deposit, when it
was overgrown with vegetation, and
held that “the material was realty and
not personal property, and passed to
the purchaser on foreclosure of the
truBt deed."
Honor Man 8truck by Lightning.
To be struck by lightning is still a
most lucky thing for the Greek peas
ant—if he is not killed. Such a man,
says J. C. Lawson, “may indulge a
taste for idleness for the rest of his
life—his neighbors will support him—
and enjoy at the same time the rep
utation of being something more than
human." This is an inheritance from
ancient days. Artemidorus, an au
thority on occult matters who flourish
ed In the time of Marcus Aurelius,
commented on the fact that while a
place was struck by lightning had an
altar erected upon it, and was thence
forth both honored and avoided, “no
one who has been struck by light
ning is excluded from citizenship; in
deed, such a one is honored even as
a god.” The election of Quintus Ju
lius Eburnus to the consulship in US
B. C. is attributed to his having been
favored thus by the gods.
-ong-Llved Mines and Profits.
Are long-lived mines more profitable
than short-lived ones? The average
investor would cousider this a foolish
question, assuming naturally that the
longer a mine lasts the greater the ac
cumulated profits.
JuBt about the contrary is the cave
The figures supplied by the mines de
partment of Johannesburg, where the
regularity of deposits on the Rand
makes it possible to guage the liveB of
mines with accuracy, should convince
the skeptic that owing to compound in
terest a long life does not add to the
value of a mine to the extent common
ly assumed.—Engineering and Mining
