Sark is i. in' Hr*i Indy of , Hip only purely ferula! state remaining 1 In Hif World, lli?' island ,of Sill k in the I Dnglish channel. Sin k is i |i?' f*li largest of I ho (.'linnriel islands. It llyk 70. miles j .south of Lngland and '_"J miles from (lie eon ft! of France. It Is three and a half miles long and onto and a half mllcM wide; and yet, heeause of Its iilimcriiiis hays and coves, It hits }{,*> mlleH of coast. It Is the highest land In the ('hannel Islands. The ellffH, rising on all sides almost perpendicularly, are covered with Innumerable varieties of rock plants and (lowers, while helow are samiy hays *r\d wonderful cuyes, whose sea hewn walls are covered with seaweeds and sea anemones of every color of the ralnhow. On the beaches may lie found semiprecious stones, such as amethysts, cats-eyes, and moonstones. The Island Is not without minerals; at one time, mines wore Worked which pro<1 tired copper, silver, antimony, and galena. The Interior of the Island Is undulating, with valleys full of wild llowers, andUln the spring the whole Is covered with u hpi/e of golden gorso, blue hells, and primroses. No venomous beasts live in Sark, not even a toad ! On landing fit the Sark harbor, which Is one of the smallest In the world, the visitor limls himself e.n- | llrely surrounded by steep elilTs, and the only means of access to the island from there Is hy a road passing through a tunnel "joo feet long, pierced in the cliff, and thence by a sleep, winding road which leads to the ceil- i ter of the l^lnmlj where there are a few small shops and four hotels. The highway. continues to I.a Hon- j pee, where the island is divided into j two parts, (Jrent Sark and Little Sark, j Joined hy a huge natural causeway of rock nearly dOO'feet high ami 115 feet long, across which runs a road Just wide enough for one cart ami horse J r??^ ???i A Sark Windmill Built by "the Grace" of Queen Elizabeth in 1571. to cross at a lime. On one side of 1 this causeway is a sheer cliff; on the > other a sloping way down to beautiful sands. In spite of its minute si/.e, t Sark has n history of no little inter- . est. as Its written records begin in A l>. .W>, and there Is ample evidence of occupation in the Stone age. In the Sixth century Saint Magioirr, bishop of I >ol. in Brittany, established a monastery here, the ruin> of whieh, . including an old wall ami two chapels, stand Just beside the Panic's house ; Here an order of iVJ monks flourished until 1 11 J. when tlicv were withdrawn | to the Abbel .if M.ilit ehe.irg.

The flame's house, or "Selgneurle, lies In a sheltered part of the lHla,,< and, like all the old houses, is built of gray granite. The original or urn In part of the house, dating from lobn, stands on the site of the old monastery, and nq doubt many of the stones used to build It were taken from tho ruins. The fireplace In the hall bears tho date 1075 and the sundial on the outside 1085. The gardens are opened to the general public, free of any charge, every Monday. Appeal to the Dame. Great privileges are always accompanied by grave responsibilities; -?o that the Dame's home may be described as the clearing house of all Island controversy. U Is open at any time to any Inhabitant of the Island who wishes to see her for any reason, and she sometimes longs for the lels| lire of the 'tired business man" when i often hot h sides of a dilllculty are ! brought to her for final Judgment. Disj missions lake place on subjects which range from whether bathers shall wear beach pajamas .or whether the Chief JtV'US shall pass a measure to deal with the prevention of Infectious diseases among cattle. The Sack parliament is called the Chief Pleas, and It sits three times a year unless called by the Dame in an emergency. The forty holders of the farms allotted originally in 1 ">d">, plus twelve deputies elected among the fest of the Inhabitants, who now number 075, are members of the parliament. To "Sarkltes" the king of England Is their feudal lord, the duke of Normandy. and he has no more loyal and devoted subjects than they, who have from time Immemorial been part of the Duchy of Normandy, whose duke, William the Conquefor, Invaded and took England and was thereafter recognized as king of England, but to them has always remained duke of Normandy. In point of fact, the Channel islands were never a part of England, but part and parcel of the Duchy of Normandy, and as such, no doubt, took part in t)11. conquest of England. Bark is the smallest... self governing part of the British empire and the only part which has no public debt: in 'act, it has a substantial credit balance. The language of the island olllciall.v Is French, though everyone speaks English, which is taught equally with Fn ii. h in the schools, so that every-, one is bilingual. Among themselves the islanders always speak their own -patois." vvldch is a survival of the old Norman French as spoken at the time of the Conquest. It is never written and cannot he understood by anyone not brought up in its midst. Sink has a hoys' and a girls' school, in regard to which it is Interesting to note "that Sark was the first part of, the British empire to adopt compdl-. sorv education. The Dame inspects both schools at examination time and .,sks the children questions In French and English and satisfies herself as to iheir general mental progress. Motor Cars Barred.

Heather is tied into bunches by means of bands of rushes, and these bundles are heaped, one on top of another, across tiro middle of mjrool in which many trout congrogatfc. Vint stones are placed on the bundles to keep them down ; a sort of. barrier and hiding place for tlsh being thus made. The stream and "tall" of tire pool are then splashed by natives armed with poles, when tin? trout (and it may bo salmon) dash head-first Into tho loosoly-tled heather bundles, which have been placed with their "growing" ends .outwards. When the fish nre once In the fancied security of fire heather, they assume stillness, and one by one the si|gM0 are quietly removed, and the flshcoiitaining bundles thrown i nshore.?Montreal Herald, - Antlers Short-Lived The antlers which deer of many types bear so proudly are usually short-lived, being shed each year and replaced by a new growth. It usually requires about 10 weeks for a stag to grow a set of antlers, the growth being from the frontal bone of the head. When first sprouted, the antlers are covered with a soft velvety skin which remains as a covering of the antlers until they are full grown. When they have attained full size, a ring is formed at the base of the antler, which pinches off tiro blood vessel and tho skin soon dries and falls olT. the stag assisting tills process by rubbing his | antlers ngaint trees to scrape the covering off.'?Washington Star. Butterfly Fish The Now York Aquarium boasts the first specimens of butterfly fish of the ' species pantodon to have found their ' way to this country. Some of these i interesting freshwater lis Ires from j Central Africa are on display there. I Tire lilauientirt'y tail of the pan^adon , measures about two inches in length, 1 which Is about two-thirds as long as ! its black and while body, which Is speckled with red. Not only do Its beautifully marked tins resemble butterfly wings, but it Jras long, antennaelike feelers extending from Its ventral fins. Little is known of the life habits of these fishes. Loftiest Weather Station The loftiest meteorological station ever operated in tire United States was one at the top of Pike's peak, Colorado, 14,110 feet above sea level. This post was established In 1878 by Cjii slgnul service (then our national teorologlcal organization), closed in 1SS8, reopened by the weather bureau in 1.892 and closed definitely two years later. The peak was diflicult of access until the- cog railroad was con| structed in COl, and the trials of tho i observers Included mountain sickness, I terrifying adventures with lightning ' i and vv iudc -rms so alarming that, .ur- J ing one of thorn, prayers for tin* s.i efy I , of I he uo.ii men \v ere off< ! ;:i the hui' lios of ( ' c.ir.i !< Springs. i Length of Woman's ilair i I.iltii t o; i..i;rs oil t !.? tan ] -i.lip \ . i: . < s vs < i 11 I 111' < o 1111,., \ ,. | | poop o ! .i - o: < i I or 1 . r 1 s , arc -.i d to ..ur fCom 1 (ii.hhi t P- ' i M n i h.i.r-. brut, tie- ? rom 1 < to 1 p i.i ? ? i and red inured ladie-*ti.

Natural Gas Discovered When Drilling for Salt Natural gas was kiiown In Aalu age# befofo It was put to Its present practical purposes In this country. It appeared hh IcakaKe from gas hearing strata through ere vices In the ground, and when lighted usually hy accident was often worshiped as a inanlfeatutlon of a tiro god It was thus known In India, In China and In Persia, says a writer In the Cleveland I 'lit fit healer. In tho Culled Slates the first dis covery of natural gas h,v drilling was In Ohio and West Virginia in the early Nineteenth century when surprised salt makers struck gas while sinking shallow wells for salt. ltufus Stone, one Of the tlrst opcr titers la tlie salt making business at McConnollsvllle, Ohio, while drilling for salt struck a reservoir of natural gas strongly Impregnated with sulphur, which caused tho driller to exclaim they had ''drilled through to hell." At tlrst tho well was considered a failure, but the gas was later put to work to holl the water for the salt making. This use of It is said to have continued for -10 years. Other such accidental discoveries of natural gas were occasional, and In 1820 the tlrst use of It for light was made at Fredonla, Y. A hundred street lights were fed there hy gas which had been discovered hy seepage through a mill stream. The first place to ho piped for the use of natural gtis for domestic purposes was Tltusvllle, Pa., In 1872. Modern Dairy Industry Was Launched in 1860 The modern dairy Industry, one of tho leading Industrial activities of the country, was first duflnitely launched us late as I860, when the lirst dairy factory vvns started In New York state. Up until that time, says a writer in the Washington star, the production of butter and cheese was a matter of the individual farmer's choice. However, so successful was the tlrst halter factory established, the growth of the system was almost mushroom like In Its rapidity. -The .uniform quality of butler and cheese, for Instance, produced hy a single butter or cheese maker was found more'satisfactory than the older system of .individual farmers ur their, wives turning out the product of their own dairies. The preserved milk Industry and nil the allied Industries resulting from (he production of casein and lactose followed as a natural consequence of the factory type operation in the dairy industry. Murder Cases to Supreme Court When Justice Ilolmes vvus appealed to in August, 1927, to issue a stay of execution in the case of Sacco and Vun/.otti, lie pointed out that it was a crime under state laws und tried by u state court and that he had absolutely no authority as a Judge of the United States to meddle with it. In a long statement regarding the legal aspects of the matter, he added: "A state decision may be set aside by the Supreme court of the United States If the record of the case shows that the Constitution lias been infringed in specific ways. An application for a J writ of certiorari lias been tiled on the ground that the record shows such an Infringement ; and the writ of habeas corpus having boen denied, I am asked to grant a stay of execution until that application can l>e consid- I ered by the full court." The appliea- j tion for writ of error or certiorari was also refused, so that the Supreme j court did not review this murder case. i . -I ? When Woman Ruled China Tze-Ilsl, the empress dowager of China, was horn ut Peking in 1835. She was selected for the imperial harein when only 10, but by study and by good fortune became the virtual ruler of China In her twenty-sixth year. She was the wife of llsien-Feng und on his death became co-regent during the minority of her son, the Emperor T'ung Chih, and on ids death In 1875 obtained the succession for another minor, remaining dominant during his boyhood. She had much political wis- j dom. but was unable to prevent the I'.oxer rebellion. It resulted in her en- I couragenient of the progress of mod- ' cruizing China. It was largely through her influence that the opium traffic j das discontinued. She died on November ].", I'm is.
