I^OUD OF LOiSa ANCESTRY ! long ago, writes a contributor - :: 'S? the Youth's Companion, some i ^^^^hooiboys of Delta county, Michigan, j jBBafeho were gathering acorns at recess I |||||b?dm a large tree on a hill near the i pE&anaba river, found some valuable IlllggisUcs that date from the time of i gggSKSUter aiarqueiif- < gg&i^The boys had climbed the tree and & B^haken the acorns off. While they l|g||rere picking them up a large one i under a sod. One of the boys up the sod and disclosed fowgrosses, tarnished with age. Each s^SRis standing upright, and the tops, ^jfiSmich have rings in them, were close > fltegether as if they had once hung ; Mrom a ^ring. The peculiar shape of : Hnpie grosses roused the boys' curiosity, ! gp^d^hey took the^ 'selr teacher, j gwho scoured them _ .and that they ; were of solid silver.' ?|- They are of different sizes. The j |||||iargest Is six inches long and four ^^ibiches wide; the smallest is four |||&3nches by two inches. All four crosses gBpare elaborately engraved; except for Ijg the initials "R.

Sending messages by telegraph and ^ telephone without wires thousands of miles over the oceans is a far cry |gv from sending a wireless impulse the 5 length of a kitchen table. But before Marconi did that others had discovered principles which made it pos- " C /'Mhle. Not, however, until Hertz dis|0^eovered the progressive propagation of 5% electromagnetic action through space ? was the period of speculation and exI: periment near its end. ~ Marconi, then a young man just out of his teens, read of the experiments of Hertz, and conceived the first ap?-" paratus for demonstrating the idea. At the end of several months he had ' his idea of such an apparatus complete and a message in the Morse code was sent the length of an ordinary kitchen table on which the apparatus Was set up. Out of this initial success the wonderful system of wireless telegraph and telephone communication of today has developed, remarks the Detroit News. "Resurrection Plant" During the autumn and early winter several years ago men might have been seen in the streets selling an odd little plant which they called the "resurrection plant." Many and wonderful were the tales told *of the plant by these itinerant salesmen to persuade their prospective customers to buy. Most of them either stated directly or else led their hearers to infer that the plants came only from the Holy land, " where they were emblematical of the Resurrection. Most of them, however, were Polypodium incarium, the com monest of all the ferns of Florida. ; During the dry season the plant : curls up into a small ball and has the ' appearance of being dead. In this eonV dition it will bear transportation well. When placed in a bowl containing a little water its leaves will unfold and assume a bright green color, making a pretty and ornamental plant. " British Race Increasing. The population of the United Kingdom, a little less than 10.000.000 when the century opened, had doubled by * the time the American Civil war broke out. In 1901 it was 41,458,721; in 1911 it was 4-5,221,615. The after-war census'for Great Britain showed a population of 42,707,5:10, excluding Ireland, so that the total for the British islo> . must now be well over 40.000.000. Tiiis steady growth lias gone cn side by side with a huge emigration. From ISoh to 1920 14,000.0<K> Britishers left home for places outside of Europe, for the most part British North America, the United States, Australia, British South Africa and India.

THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY1 Elderly Lady Discovered She Had Made Wrong Choice of Her Resting Position. It is hard sometimes for the old and the young to arrive at a common point of understanding. The old lady and i the Sunday school boy in this story did finally arrive at an understanding, but not until the boy had suffered damage to his feelings, if not to his possessions. A picnic was in progress, and the \ benevolent and elderly lady took much enjoyment in witnessing the delight of the children who were disporting them selves in her grounds. She went from one to another, saying a few kind words to each. Presently she seated herself on a grass , plot beside Dickie, a little boy with golden curls and an angelic expression. But as soon as he observed her sitting beside him Dickie set up an ear-pierc- ( ing howl. ! "Have you the stomach-ache?" she asked. anxious!}'. "No, I ain't." snapped Dickie.

Burmese Story of Man'o Origin. A myth current among the Burmese says that heavenly beings came down from the skies to the earth, and there ate Thalesan, a particular kind of rich rice, which gradually made them gross of kabit, so that thev were unable to make their way back to the higher heavens again and had to become men and women. The Chins have a story of the Tower of Babel to account for the various clans that 'inhabit the range of hills looking down on the Bay ol Bengal, and traditions of a deluge are found everywhere. j The Kachins tell a story of the passage over a bridge, to the afterlife, and there are many more of the kind that suggest these folk-myths come down from a long-gone past. : To Tell Time Elsewhere.
