Constitution the Work of Many Master Minds Iu uont* of the relatively meager records of the Constitutional convention Is the authorship of any purt of the Constitution definitely established. tChe delegates debated proposed plans until on July 2d, substantial agreement having been reached, a committee on detail was appointed to prepare a formal draft of the document. ^Tljtls committee, the personnel of j which Is unknown, reported on August 0 a draft that included a pre- 1 amble and 28 articles, embodying 48 sections. Debate continued until September 8, when a new i<>mmlttoe to revise the formal draft was 'named. This committee Included Dr. William Samuel Johnson, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur tybrris, James Madison and ltufus King, Its work is believed to huve been largely that of Gouverneur Morris. That Is ?s nearly as the authorship of any part of the final text of the Constitution can bo Identified. It may bo said, however, that the great document was In reality not written, hut was hulldcd slowly und laboriously as a great edifice might bo constructed, with* hot a piece of material Included until It had been shaped and approved, all the master artisans having a hand In the task. Earth's Ages-Old Past Linked With Sequoias The mind can scarcely grasp the stretches through which the history of the Sequoias takes us?far beyond I ull recorded time, back to the M?soI role and Mlozene periods millions of I years ago when weird monsters like I tho dinosaur and the dinotherium I roamed over the face of the earth and long before man or animals of any existing type bad yet begun their age-long process of evolution, ltlclmrd St. Harbe Baker writes, in Hie Wash ingtoh I'ostv* Hons ago these mighty trees grew densely in many parts of the world. No less than 45 species of redwood have been described from the fossil beds of the northern hemisphere. In North America the climatic factors were such us to favor their persistence only in California, where they are making their last stand. Unfortunately they are disappearing too rapidly, as they are greatly in do niand for lumber, but thanks to a few public spirited citizens, many exitmpies of these statelj* trees have been preserved for posterity. Tall Trees Ha Living redwoods run up to 210 feet In diameter, but this occurs rarely and this species of tree is subject to great root swellings that make such measurements misleading. Other trees that reach great size In this respect are the kauri, of New Zealand; the baobabr of Africa; the cypress, of Mexico, and the Jnqultibn Vermelho, of Brazil. Several trees of one or an' other of these species have been reported to exceed the redwoods in diameter., The largest of these whose size has been authentically established Is a great cypress tree at Raint Maria del Tule, Mexico. This tree has a diameter at the ground of 40 feet and measures 85 feet In diameter 5 feet above groiwid. Stork Fable Survives The' childish fable which Identifies the stork with Infant birth comes from German inventions. In Germany <ho stork Is regarded with almost superstitious regard. It Is not uncommon to see an old disused wheel set up on a roof-tree to encourage storks to build upon It. Nothing was easier than to satisfy childish curiosity about babies, than to give the stork, sitting above the h^use, alfnost like a tutelary deity, the credit for blessing the honif with a new-born little one, absurd and misleading though the Idea may appear to many. Tobacco la Europo Ralph Lane, the first governor of Virginia, atld Sir Francis Drake brought to the notice' of Sir Walter Raleigh the hhbit of srfmking tobacco. Lane Is credited with having been the first English smoker, and through the Influence and example of the illustrious Raleigh, "who took a pipe of tobacco a little before he went to the scaffold," the habit became rooted among Elizabethan courtiers. During the Seventeenth century the Indulgence in tobacco spread with. marvelous rapidity through all nations. F.ducaling Slave* Many of tho large slave lulders of the South, particularly of Virginia, took much pains to instruct their slaws in ri liglous matters and In -the rudiments of education. The first public schools for Indians and negroes were established in Virginia iu 1020. and In 1701, Ellas Neau established schools for Indians and negro slaves In New York city. In 1708 a manual - JntiflT school Tst Indians fiiiTFiregraw was established In Hyde county, N. C. ?Washington Star. Affecting Temperature It Is the temperature of the air that affects the thi mometer and not the facT that the air Is In motion.

Diamonds by Thousands Awaiting Lucky Finder DlutnomU, emeruldu and oven copper-*?or rut her stories of iIiomo treasures?have lured many a prospector to his death in the I hirst land* of South Africa. Kvcn men a a lough ax aula- I inundera cannot exist for long In these burning wastes. I remember one hard, sun browned prospector telling mo the legend of the "Hottentot's Paradise"?something niore than u legend, really, for the main farts ure Hied away In the olllrlul archives of Windhoek, the capital ??f Southwest Africa. Long before the World war,' It seems, a sandstorm swept down on a Herman military patrol near Swakopinund, the seaport north of Wulvls bay. One soldier, separated from bis companions. was found delirious by u bund of wandering buslimeii had taken to their secret stronghold. Here, In a rocky pool of fresh water, were diamonds by the thousand; the widened little busluaan children were playing with them. The trooper esenped from this remote spot, tilted out an e*p('dltlon to rediscover the place, and \vns found dead with a busbman's arrow In l\Js body. In bis pocket were four rough diamonds and u vague map describing the route to the "Bushman's l'aradlse."

Buddhists Believe Sun Pays Homage to Deity The "Spectre of the Urockett," in the Hartz mountains pf Germany, has a counterpart In Ceylon. Every year ^hundreds of people climb Adam's peak to see the sunrise from Its top and the famous pyrumldial shadow that Is thrown up on the other side only to disappear with the increasing brightness of day. The apparition stands ^Still for many seconds, then nearer and nearer, always growing larger, it advances towards the observer. Like a veil, it Is transparent and one can see the plains below distinctly through It. So distinct is (be whole thing thatfrom Colombo, which Is about l.r>0 miles away, the shadow can be seen on a clear morning. A curious Buddhist belief?linked to this illusion Is that this Is the sun Itself worshiping Adam's jieak which, of course, is famous for the sacred footprint of Buddha. a > Statesmen Ridiculed After ejecting the Long parliament, Cromwell called together a new parliament, or more properly a convensummoning, so far as he might, dmly religious, God-fearing men. The "Little parliament," as It Is sometimes called, consisted of 150 member*, mainly religious realots, who spent much of their time In Scripture exegesis, prayer and exhortation. Among them was a London leather merchant nicknamed "Praise-God" Barebone, who was especially given to these exercises. The name amused the people, and as the exhorter was a fair representative of a considerable section of the convention, they nicknamed it "Barebono's parliament." by which designation It has passed into history. y The Worm Tumi An Indian down In Oklahoma, hard up, went to the hank to borrow $100. Tbe banker said It would be all right, provided he had some security. The deal finally was made, tbe Indian giving a mortgage on 20 ponies. Not long after that oil was struck close to the Indian's allotment, and 1^ sold his oil lease for a lot of cash, so stepped Into the bank and peeled ofT a $100 bill to pay the loan. "That's fine," remarked the banker, when the business was completed, "bat you don't want to carry all that money around with you. Better leave It hers with me.M "All right," replied the redskin \ "how many ponies you got?"?Capper's Weekly. America's "Kangaroo" The nearest thing native to North America to a kangaroo Is the so-called Jumping mouse. This small forest and field rodent with a bend and body length of not more than three Inches can leap as much n's lfi feetv In a single bound. Its hind legs, suggestive of the kangaroo, are much longer than the forelegs and are used in the huge lejfps the kangaroo effects on a larger scale. The Jumping mouse is a nightroaming animal, seldom making an appearance In the daytime. Tt feeds almost exclusively on grain and seeds. It Is sought after by most of the smnller prednceons animals.
