Some Few Facts May Have Been Qven. looked, But in General it Witi 1e Found Pretty Comprehensive. "Rain," said the msp,who presidgq over the fortunes of the all-night luncb room, "is a phenomenon fadilliai to all of us from our early yetitvs. Scientists telt us that rain Is the mol ture which makes the clouds before it is condensed into rain drops by com Ing into contact with colder air edir rents, and that is very interesting. "There are certain othej interesting facts convected with. rain. I hIAve spent much time in collecting theim. Rain can be confidently expected to ? lI on the Fourth of July, on the 17th 6f March, on the dates of weddings, open-air prize fights, and inaugurafions of thqPresidents, when it sometinds appears frozen and Is then cuUed snow. It can be looked for with as surance on other occasions too nu merous to mention qnd it comes fre quently in defiance of all known ruies. "Thore are certain cities in this country which support a gine called baseball," lie continued. "In these Cities rain is famous principally be chuse it produces what are known as double-headers, an arrangement rnuch io favor among certain admirers of the sport. "In the days before c0ildren were Geprived of the pleasure of risking their lives with fireviorks in celebrk tion of the signing of the Declaration of Independence each Fourth of July, rain was halled with delight on that anniversary by certain nervouts men and women. It exerted a dampening influence on the dangers of the day, tended to reduce the noise of the oc casion and made it almost impossible to set roofs on fire with skyrockets and powder cracliers. "But today alnost the only persogs who welcome rain are the husbands and fathers of the land, who seek excuses for accompanying their wives and children to places of 6o-called amusement and who, 'by some strange superstition, regard a holiday as a period in which to rest. Rain is 9a pecially unwelcome on days like the Fourth of July to the people whose profts depend on the assembling of thousands of patriotie celebrators in the open air. "Aside from holidays, rain is deemed a valuable stock in trade by farmers, gardeners, the manufacturers of rub bers, raincoats and umbrellas. House wives usually object to it, because in all the centuries of civilisation thre male members of families have never learned the real use of the mat at the front door with 'Welcome' wiritten on It. "Rain is sometimeq, but not often, useful as an Inspiration to poets, a' vertisement illustrators and peop 9 with bad tempers. The las't class often waxes really eloquent when the gentle drops fall from the clouds. "He told me that he had just been presented with something from over the border that rendered him immune to the ills attendant upon rain, called me a crass materialist and went out, thinking of violets, I guess, because he forgot to pay for his coffee."

Tristan da Ounha is the general name for a group of three small vol canic Islands belonging to Great"Brit-L ain situated in the South Atlantic about 2000 miles west of the Cape of Good Hope and about 4,000 miles nortneast of Oape Horn. Tristan, the largest ond northernmost island, has an area of 16 square miles, is circular In forAP, about seven miles in diatne ter, and has a volcanic cone (7,640 feet), usually capped with snow, in the center. It soinetimes happens that Tristai da Cunha remains six months, ten months, a year without receiving news from any part of the world, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The islands were discovered in 1506 by the Portuguese AdgiiraI Tristan (or more correctly Tristao) de Cunha, after whom they are named, during a voyage to India, but it was not until the Nineteenth century that the Islands were permanently inhabited. One dWs an American named Lambert, "late of Salem, MAass., mariner and cit izen thereof," landed in Tristan and decla.red himself sovetelga and sole possessor of the group (which he re naiped Islands of Refreshment.) "I have made up my mind," he wrote, "to prepare fpr myself and my family a home where I shall be able to live without the difficulties that have constantly troubled me, and to procure for us a property that will in sure us forever the measure of living and preserve us from common misfor tunes." Jonathan Lambert had many imita tors. le artived in 1810. In 1816 the Island had already counted 72 14 habftants. It counted 80 in 1860, and 100 in 1908. According to the latest news, Tristan population has it creased to 180 persono, men, women and children, and . . . pastor in cluded. Incidentally Lambert's sov ereignty was short-ltved, as he was. drowned in May, 1820, while out fish ing. Tristan da Ounha has no history. It knows neither industry nor com merce, nor war. It has' no neighbors who envy it. There is no government. The people manage their affairs without any laws, the project once en tertained of providing them with a formal constitution being deemed un necessary, Nothing, or nearly nothing, would be known about the customs of these Robinsons if, in 108, an advertise ment in a London paper had not sig nalized the sad condition of those pco pie living even outside of religion i Thereupon an Anglican pastor, Rev. Mr. Barrow, decided to go there with his wife and a servant. It took themi six months from Southampton to reach the island. They remained there three years, and Mrs. Barrow has left an excellent narrative of their visit. In this way it was lesaxned that those recluses, even if they did not consider themselves very happy, seemed to fear that they would be even less happy if they deserted this island., In 1006 the majority for the second time re fused to desert the island, though of fered allotments of land in Cape Col ony. But an incident has just occurred that will upset their life. A catie from Rio de Janeiro tells of the ar rival on the island of a new pastor who brought with him a wireless ap-. paratus. Henceforth Tristan da Oginha. may know everything. Too Busy to Get Up. Pleasant dreams have a feeling of dissatisfacetion with cold, everyday facts.
