The following season the colony oc cupies the same tree, building new nests <mi top of the old ones. The tree creaks and groans, but the society birds Ink** no notice.

William Kichard, former. vice presi dent of the American Numismatic so ciety, who acquired two rare books during " W|| tu t'hlna several year* itgo, has announced after thorough in V ?? .1 iK;tl I"II. his coil \ htlon that lu* li.is one ol' the rare hooks culled the "Tun i;.., or the 1 look of the DocJrise of the Tibetans. For some time after he came Into possession of the book, Mr. Richard looked upon it us only a curiosity without any particular worth, uuiil h?? allowed It to u friend, who urged him to Investigate Its origin. " After more than a year studying thAlltera* tun* of Tibet and Chlua, he* found (hat the hook wan printed more than 1,000 years , ago with mov able type, at that time unknown In the weHtern hemisphere. Mr. Rich ard says he has proved conclusively that the "Tunjur" was printed 700 years before the famous Gutenberg Hibltt, the llrst European book print ed with movable type. From an oflice boy for John I). Rockefeller Mr. Kichard 1ms come to travel In recent years in many for eign countries as representative of the Standard Oil company , and other American llrms. Before. he left for the Orient, about eight years ago, he had one of the best stamp collec tions In this country, which he sold for $ 10,000. "About five years ago I came Into possession of the manuscript in San skrit, or, rather,-In pevanagari, which in Tibetan Is called the 'Tanjur/ the Sacred Book of Doctrine of the Tibet ans," said Mr. Richard. "I came across It In a monastery at the same time lhat I found the 'Kanjur* at the bor der of Tibet. As no one there ap peared fo realize the value of the documents, I had no dllHculty in ob taining them at a vory low price. The only ftther Tanjur' in this country that, I have positive knowledge of Is in the American Museum of Natural History. "The value.of this rare ijook Is said to differ according to the Ink used. For Instance, a copy In red la worth 1<>8 times more than a copy In black; one In silver Is more valuable tlian one In red. and one In yellow or gold is more highly prized than one In sil ver. The Manchu emperor of China Kienlung, who flourished In 1700, had a copy of the 'Tanjur' which was said to have then been valued at $6,."00."?Philadelphia Inquirer. Straws and Painted Lips. "Somebody r other said something 'p other about straws showing which way the wind blows," remarked a soda fountain boy who served cool drinks to matinee girls and afternoon crowd?; "but I know something that these soda-water straws point to."

The next Important stey to deter mine is tin- stage of maturity of the silage crop. The total amount of dry matter and food nutrient in the si lage crop Increases np tint 11 the time of maturity. Therefore. It Is Impor tant not to cut the $11 axe crop too green, thus losing cuslderahlc food value ami also producing an acid si lage which Ih not palatable. The stage of maturity at which corn Is ready for the silo is when the grains are dented and glazed and the lw>t torn leaves have turned brown. There Is then usually some brown on the shucks of tho corn also. It Is prob ably more important that sorghum he matured before harvested for silage, since green sorghum makes a very acid unpalatable silage. The sorghum should be ripe enough to make syrup. The next step t<> insure silage is to cut the 4-orn or sorghum into short length-; which will paek well in the silo. In order to cut these heavy stalks into one-half or three*fourths Inch lengths It is necessary to keep the knives sharp. There should, be two sets of knives .so it will not be necessary to stop to have knives shar pened at least twice a day. The packing (?f the silage in the. silo is a very Important operation. The only satisfactory way to do this packing i* to keep two or three men in the silo continually packing while it Is being filled. The silage should be forced against the walls of the silo by pressure, keeping the center slightly higher than the outer edges. Pack ing in this way will exclude all air and prevent air pockets, which would en use fire fanging or moulding.

The new Qoodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord A Popular ^Priced Cord Tire Without a Rival The new Goodyear Cross-Rib T read Cord Tire is built with genuine high-grade long-staple cotton as a foundation. It is liberally oversize ? the 4l/2-inch tire, for example, measuring nearly 5 inches. The deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern of its tread affords excellent traction even in snow and mud, engaging the road like a cogwheel. The scientific distribution of rubber in this tread?the wide center rib and the semi-flat contour?gives a thick, broad surface that is exceedingly slow to wear. This new tire is a genuine Goodyear through and through ?in design, in material, in construction. It costs less to buy than the net price you are asked to pay for many "long discount" tires of unknown reputation ana value.
