The names of York, Cumberland,, and Cambridge have been carried all over the world, usually, as with Albany, originally the name of the Scottish Highlands, by peorn who bore them as titles of nobility. New York Is not the capital of (he state of that name, hut Albany, and both are named after the Duke of York and Albany, who later became James II. He also named Tendon's St. James', Duke street, and York street, Covent Qurden. Charter Oak's Location Is Marked by Monument The first settlers of Hartford, Conn., found there a white oak, tall and spreading, whose age then was estimated at several centuries. It was used as n landmark by the Indians, on whose request the pioneers spared the tree. In the year 1087, about f>0 years after the founding of the colony. notes a writer in the Detroit News. Sir Kdnmnd Andros, appointed by King James II to be governor of all New England, attended a session of the Colonial assembly at Hartford and demanded its charter. Appearing to submit, the colonists went to the council chamber to carry out the ceremony, but while the charter was on the table, the candles were snuffed out; before they could be relighted, the precious document was carried away by Capt. Joseph Wadsworth and concealed In the hollow trunk of this ancient oak. When Andros was deposed In 1089, the government and charter reappeared and undying reverence was established for the old charter oak. The tree was blown down In August. I8.r>6, but its location, on Charter Oak place, Hartford. is marked by a white marble monument. Molybdenum Metal This white metal Is used in various electrical contact makingand-breaking devices, In X-ray tubes, voltage recti Hers. In electric lamps, for winding electric resistance furnaces and in dentistry. It Is also employed In the manufacture of chemical reagents, dye glazes and disinfectants. Its principal use, however, is in the manufacture of special alloy steels, In conjunction with chromium, manganese and other metals. During the World war It was of great importance in gunmaklng, etc. The chief source of the metal is the ore called molybdenite, found in this country In the New England states, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and California; In Canada It Is found In Ontario and Quebec. The Word "Empirical" The word "empirical" Is one that may not have an opprobious meaning, depending upon the context. The original meaning was "relying on or guided by observation of facts," as said of a physician who based his methods of practice on the result of observation and experiment. The term, though still retaining Its original meaning, subsequently took on an opprobious meaning of charlatanry or quackery, that is, relating to the practice of surgery or medicine without scientific knowledge.?Literary Digest. The Spoonbill Duck The shovelcr or spoonbill duck is a bird with a peculiar uccomp'ishmunt.. It can lly. swim, ami Inilld a nest. The shovelcr Is one of the few birds that carry a sort of "coffee strainer" as part of their equipment so that Vhey can feed In a different manner. Its bill Is so constructed that when this bird tips up and starts to feed in shallow wnter it can draw the muck and water through the lamlnas of thih strange I appendage, thus straining out the food Items that it wants. Wood Duck Clever Bird''* The wood duck is one of the most accomplished birds In America. Being n member of the waterfowl group. It can swim very well. It can dive, too. The wood duck also Is a fast flyer Although It cannot actually climb a tree, it can walk up an angle. Nature, however, has given It another accomplishment. The wood duck can land In a tree or on a stump. Inasmuch as this species likes to nest above the ground, this trick is necessary. Oldext Tax Abolished Running contrary to trends in taxation throughout the world, Irak has abolished a tax. It Is one of the oldest taxes known. It Is the Khurva, which from time Immemorial has been levied on every traveler about to croas the desert of Mesopotamia, and the payment of It Insured a safe Journey, as the money was distributed awony J the nomad tribes of the region. Tho Wi*dom of Ge??* I have aald that In some waya bird* ' had brains auperlor to oura. Let me | try and explain rnyaelf. The ponda . on my bird sanctuary are ao amall in ' comparison tu the North American j continent, )hat no worda t an expreau j the proportion of them to the millione of atiuare miles of land ami water of | North America. Kven the point of ! the lineal needle preaaed on the map! of thla continent would represent j| aeveral square milea; ao again, I aay, theae ponda, which comprlae only a | couple of acrea on my bird aauctuary, cannot be meaaured or proportioned to the North American, continent. It 1b u well-known fact that aince 1909 I have been tagging ducka, and alnee 1915 havo tagged over eight thouaand Cunada geeae, which repreaont approximately forty tone of honkera that have gone through my handa and had an aluminum tag placed on their legs, in ordor to atudy their routea of migration?but what else hua it proved? It hua proved that theae aamo birda came back to theae name mud holea year after year for feed ami protection and kindneaa, that I try to give them. It further provea that they know a friend from an enemy; provea that they know a place of aafety and rest, or in other worda, where to go for a breathing apell. Hut the big thing it provea la that they have been given bralna, knowledge or aonao, that without the aid of compasaes, instruments or such like, they can get up during early October at the Arctic Circle, with their family following in single lile, and in a short time come circling down on these little artificial ponds of mine, where they know they are safe; and in the early part of March tho ones that have escaped the deadly aim of sportsmen along the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard, rise up out of range of shot and shell and keep at that great height till they land back at this spot of safety. The tagging system lias proved they come here from as far north as Great Slave Lake and Haffin Land, as far west as British Columbia, as far east as Labrador, New Jersey and tho Atlantic coast, and as far south as Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and the Gulf coast. How many human beings, with an aeroplane, or dropped down in these I loc alities, could, without aid of com- j puss or other instruments and only depending on their own brains, even find their way to such a small spot? I am afraid some of them would be glad to have some goose brains to even bring them out of such desolate places in northern regions to civilization.?lack Miner in Our Dumb Animals. 11 . 1 AMERICANA A lady In Indiana making blanket kimonos to protect her "barebacked" chickens.
