HEN PSYCHOLOGY Seeing Chicken As it Really is, \ Crazy. 4* The following analysis of a hen's psychology comes from Greenwood: '^Having lost her reason and de serted her brood because she could not protect her iitle biddies frem an airplane which she thought was a gigantic hawk, an unfortunate hen in the poultry yards of Mrs. J. C. Self of this city has died. "The tragedy dates from last spring when two commercial fliers used a landing field near the poultry yards. They flew over the poultry run eve^r few minutes and each time they passed, the faithful mother hen rushed to hover the fluffy little balls of down. "But the plane flew over so often that the hen was kept constantly in a state of terror. She clucked and ruffled her feathers and endeavored to look as belligerent as possbile each time the huge shadow fell on the yard. Finally, the nervous strain be came too great, and the hen, bereft of her reason, deserted the chicks. "She was never the same hen again; she never regained her sanity and she was beset with illusions of gigantic 'hawks, running about the yards in a distracted manner, hover ing imaginary chicks. Finally the hen died in what looked like delirium." Diplomatic Willy London Opinion. "Didn't you know it is against the law to ibeg* for money?" said the +/? ths trnmn at. narV dnnr "I wasn't goin' t' teg for no money, ma'am." "It's just as bad to beg for broad." "I wasn't going to beg for no Ibread, ma'am." "What were you going to beg for then, pray?" "Only for one of your photographs ma'am." BACK FROM RUSSIA TO TELL OF HORRORS \ . 1 Captain of Relief Steamer Relate* Terrible Stories of Conditio** At Odessa. Baltimore, April 8?A tale of fam ine, brutality and other horrors was related by Capt. M. L. Hart of the steamer Deepwater, which returned to this port today from Odessa, Rus sia. The Deepwater was one of the Russian relief steamers which Jeft here in January. Toward the end of February the TWnwatpr reached Odessa and was met at the docks by thousands of children. Practically unclothed and showing unmistakable evidences of starvation rthey swarmed about ready to beg for food as soon as unloading of the grain was begun, but only to be driven away by Russian soldiers. Captain Hart said those who resist ed were bayonetted. It took nine days for 65 half starved stevedores to un load the ship by hand. Two of their number were killed in quarrels a mong themselves. Captain Hart refused to allow any of his crew to go ashore, but one night two of the men slipped away. They spent a night of horror before they were able to work their way back on board, according to stories they relate^ on their return. They told of seeing men stood up against a wall to be shot by a firing squad; of seeing men, women and children droD in the streets exhausted from hunger, and as a climax to their night of adventure, they saw three train loads of dead being shipped out of the once flourishing city to be thrown into a hole in the outskirts. Captain Hart said the Russian peo ple had had their spirit broken by the harsh and brutal methods of the Rus sian soldiery and were offering prac tically no resistance. The people be lieve the I. W. W. has conquered the United States and that they are send ing the grain over to them. The peo ple as a whole also believe that Bol shevism has gripped the whole world and that resistance is useless. EDUCATION MAKES A ruiwr.F in ESKIMOS Chicago.?Alaska's Eskimos have changed greatly in the last 25 years since the white man intersted in their welfare came among them, according to Bishop T. Rowe, Epis copal bishop of Alaska, who has been an eyewitness of their deveL opment. ? "When first I visited Eskimos of Alaska they ate their meat raw and seemed to have little object in ' life beyond eating," Bishop Rowe said here. "Today they are cooking their food, they are Ibeginning to use stoves, th^ir igloos are much larg. ' er and cleaner, the children that have grown up in the moan time are higgler and brighter and their interests are much larger." The Eskimos did what they could to help America In the war by sending down feathers for pillows Bishop Rowe reported. 'They killed ducks, geese and swans,' he said, 'and collected a considerable amount of feathers. A number of young men came to me to say that if the) United States needed them they were readyto go." Educational work among the Ea_ kimos is conducted by the U. S. Bu_ reau of Education and the Epis copal church. One young Eskimo is now teaching. Another developed such skill in wood .carving, Bishop Rowe reported, that he was offered a fine position in New York by a firm that saw specimens of his work. The Eskimos are developing a sturdy character, he added. When warned against having anything to do with the bootleggei*, he said, they steadily leave him alone. I One on the Mayor. During an examination in an Eng lish school the inspector began to question the pupils on punctuation, when the mayor, a pompous individ 5 ual, interrupted with the remark, "It is foolish to bother about com mas and suchlike." The professor ? flushed angrily and turning to one of the boys he bade him write on the ' the blackboard, "The mayor of Chees ington says the inspector is a fool." "Now," he continued, "put a com ma after Cheesington and another after inspector." The boy did so. The i mayor got his lesson and he kept quiet after that.?Boston Transcript. WHY NITROGEN IS [LAS SO IMPORTANT Cilemson College ?The living substance both in plants and ani mals, is a jelly-like material called protoplasm. It is a mixture of substances which are so impli <M:*?d in themselves inn ar? in such complicated relations among them selves that no chemist, biologist, or any other scientist has yet ben able to identify more than a few of them with certainty. The difficulties can perhaps be better appreciated by remembering that the unit of life, the cell, is in cases so small that it takes several hundred or thousand of them together to be visible to the naked eye; and yet the proto plasm of each cell exhibits the same complexity as shown by the largest mass. A few things are known with certainty aibout protoplasm, how ever, and one of these is that in plants at least, whatever else may Bod5 A N< chosi last ; late Briti tiny an i< 20 p shor< ed tl Si: from folio comj a me wher into La remc be present or absent, iron, magne- ine ' sium, calcium, potassium, catfbon hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, phos phorus and nitrogen are always present and are necessary to nor mal growth. Of these substances green plants obtain carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air. AH other food materials are obtained from the soil, except that, as men tioned in former articles, certain lowly plants can use atmospheric nitrogen. Aside from water, a goodly pro portion of the living substance is composed of protein. In fact, there is good evidence that this protein makes up the framework of proto amid had outs< frier boot Sc sevei He a in 1 into a da ed ir pole. Oi rock dent milei plasm, and that many of the pecu liar properties of the living tissue are due to its presence. Now, the most distinctive feature of the pro tin, as compared with many other organic substances, is that it con tains considerable amounts of ni trogen and smaller amounts of sulphur in addition to those ele i- ?T-- -1 _11 _ V-J its e with year fjorc brea maki occa whic T1 menu* wmcn an organic su.usmm;t? contain. Nitrogen, then, is an es sential element of the make-up ,of the living substance itself. Nitrogen also enters into the compositoin of a number of pro ducts of the nature of excretions or secretions which have a marked stimulating or poisonous effect on living tissue. Some of these sub stances have an important vse in regulating the development of many plants and animals, say the bacteriologists and soil specialists. Nitrogen, one of the essential elements of all Irving tissue, is per haps the most abundant of them all. However, the greaer part of it is looked up m the air in a form which is not available for any but a few kinds of organisms. To be come available it must be coimibined with some ether element. When so captured and put into the soil it tends always to escape in one way or another and eventually to get back into the air. The amount in an available form, therefore, is al ways limited, and it is thus the highest priced element which fann ers have to buy for fertilizer or feed.

FOLU ABBEVILL1 COPPER MINES ARE ONCE MORE' ACTIVE New York.?-The copper industry is preparing for a revival of business. Calumet & Hecla Mining company will begin mining copper ore again within s^vty days. Nearly all the leading producers of vein copper are expected to be operating their mines by late April. * The copper market is quiet now. But the industry is steadily getting into better position. f Tonnage of copper exports is run ning about 40 per cent bigger than the 1920 average. Germany, during 1921, took more than a third of our total copper ex ports. For the last 19 months she has been buying American copper at the rate of 235,000,000 pounds a year, compared with 78,457,805 pounds in 1920 and 1,478,200 pounds in 1919. Copper producers are gradually working off their surplus refined stocks. These /were 660,000,000 pounds at the beginning of 1921.
